The dilapidated banquet hall was replaced by a dense forest that grew again, and only half of the original golden light was completely obscured by the lush leaves.
Countless elves were sent to a giant tree by Kokot.
They climbed on the branches, poked their heads out from the lush green leaves, and looked curiously at the towering transparent barrier rising in front of them.
Under Kokot's careful protection, the elves completely avoided the effects of the battle in the courtyard, and were able to watch safely.
The nobles stood at the edge of the courtyard, looking up with a pale gleam of surprise and confusion in their eyes.
To this day, the nobles are still confused and curious about the reason for the sudden appearance of this group of witchers.
The identity of visitors is strictly controlled within the empire, especially in the royal capital.
Every non-empire resident will undergo strict identity checks when entering the royal capital.
to ensure that each outsider’s background is well understood.
And organizations like the Demon Hunters suddenly appeared in the royal capital on a large scale, and their identity information has not been leaked.
This is almost unheard of in the Empire.
What's more, this time, they not only appeared in the royal capital, but also ran out in groups.
If they hadn't suddenly appeared around the banquet hall, the nobles present might not have noticed anything until they left.
But then they thought, the Queen of the Empire is also a demon hunter!
It all suddenly made sense.
So, they didn't find out.
When Liya saw these demon hunters in the distance, she quickly lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and remained silent.
Seeing Liya's appearance, Gwen thought she was uncomfortable.
So he patted Liya's back with doubt and asked softly:
"Liya, what's wrong with you?"
"No...it's okay."
Liya raised her head and forced a smile.
Because Liya noticed.
This group of witchers were the ones who had recently signed a contract with Cravenna and were forced to work in her home.
Needless to say, it must have been Victor who called them out again.
But the problem is, whether it is a demon or a smuggled demon hunter who left this illegal entry without permission.
In the worst case, that's a crime!
And the sins add up!
Although this kind of behavior that is similar to wandering in the gray area of the law, their family has done it often.
But!
Then was before, now is now!
On this occasion, members of the nobility and royal family gathered together, and what Victor did was tantamount to completely stripping off his clothes and showing them to others.
By the time the nobles recovered from the shock, everyone knew what an outrageous crime their family had committed.
After a while, Liya took a deep breath.
After pondering for a long time, he gradually showed a look of relief.
"never mind."
crime? It's a crime!
Anyway, their family has publicly supported Princess Aurelion.
When the princess comes to power, her teacher will still be Victor.
Who cares about what illegal things their family has done?
Thinking of this, Liya simply gave up caring about the family's reputation.
After all, it is useless to worry. It is only a matter of time that Cravenna's reputation will deteriorate sooner or later.
It’s not easy anyway.
Thinking of this, Liya immediately relaxed.
At this time, she finally had time to look at the transparent barrier in front of her.
It was far away, so she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
But Liya knew that Victor was still inside, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
That demon looks so scary, it shouldn't be hurt.
Thinking of this, she curiously turned to Gwen next to her and asked:
"Will this be able to control the Second Emperor...the devil?"
Before Gwen could reply, a somewhat familiar voice sounded from behind the two of them without warning:
"The second prince is the carrier of the devil."
"What we have to do is to remove the demon from the second prince."
As the sound rang out, the two couldn't help but look back.
It was a woman wearing a silver-white mask and a tight-fitting witcher uniform.
Her graceful figure was looming under the tights, and the wide black hood that completely covered her hair and half of her head hung down over her shoulders.
Following her crisp footsteps, the other party walked up to Liya.
However, after hearing the other party's words, Liya was a little confused, and her eyes were filled with clear doubts.
Because she didn't understand it at all.
The other party seemed to understand that Liya didn't understand, so he explained it very simply.
"We can ensure that the demon will be contained."
Liya understood immediately.
Considering that the other party is wearing the same clothes as the demon hunters inside, the credibility should be very high.
However, at this moment, Gwen's eyes suddenly focused on the female demon hunter.
Feeling Gwen's gaze, the other party coughed twice, and then made a deep voice:
"Ahem...is there any problem?"
She even deliberately made her voice a little louder.
Gwen didn't respond, just lowered her head and looked at the figure of the witcher in front of her from top to bottom.
His eyes swept back and forth across the other person's chest, as if he was weighing something.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, and the pale field in the distance slowly dissipated.
The transparent barrier that shot straight into the sky slowly collapsed from the sky like a broken mirror, and its countless intertwined lines began to become erratic.
Feeling the huge air wave coming from the center of the courtyard, Gwen and Liya hurriedly looked back.
Countless nobles widened their eyes, looking in shock at the gradually cracking sky barrier and the scattered pale fragments.
As the barrier disappeared, the huge demon trapped above the clouds began to fall from the sky.
Its huge body was gradually exposed, and it fell straight down to the earth.
boom!
The moment the huge body hit the ground, a ten-meter-high dust wave was stirred up, and even the ground of the courtyard cracked open again.
As the smoke dispersed, the eldest prince was stunned and looked at the huge demon that fell on the courtyard in disbelief.
At this time, the huge bull-headed demon had been stripped of a lot of its power.
It collapsed weakly on the ground, and its originally huge body shrank rapidly, becoming much smaller.
His whole body was tightly wrapped with pale chains, and his limbs were firmly nailed by thick silver spears.
At this time, everyone present seemed to realize something and quickly looked in the direction of the group of demon hunters.
All the demon hunters stood behind Claudia, standing upright like loyal guards.
Claudia stood there, still holding a slender silver spear in her hand.
With light steps and crisp footsteps, she slowly walked up to the Minotaur.
The huge bull-headed demon slowly raised its head.
The moment he saw Claudia, his red eyes became dull and even filled with compassion and prayer.
However, it was speechless because its upper and lower jaws had been penetrated by the spear made of special material and were completely welded to it.
Therefore, it could only breathe heavily through its nose.
Claudia approached the demon, her blood-red eyes gradually returning to calm.
She looked at the demon in front of her with spears pierced through her jaws, her face expressionless.
At this time, Victor, who was witnessing this scene, was standing behind the queen and bowed slightly to her.
"Your Majesty, your processing speed surprised me."
Claudia did not turn her head, but responded to Victor lightly:
"The Jealousy Demon, I know everything about it, including every one of its weaknesses."
She stared down at the second prince, looking at him calmly.
"Family, friendship, love."
"Money, status, reputation."
"Only jealousy is the easiest to be affected by these things."
After Claudia said this, she twisted her wrist slightly, and silver gun flowers bloomed in mid-air.
The fierce light in his eyes pierced the second prince's heart like a sharp blade.
"It's all my fault."
"So it's up to me to end this."
Claudia held the silver spear in her backhand, as if she would pierce it through the second prince's head at any time.
Owesser was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground helplessly, staring at his mother.
It seemed as if he would be brutally pierced by that cold spear the next moment.
It's unclear whether he will die this time, but he will definitely not be able to escape with this half of his life.
But Claudia would not give him any mercy.
Finally, under Cledia's strength, the silver spear stabbed Oweiser's head.
But the moment she stabbed Oweiser, a powerful golden repulsion suddenly appeared in the air.
It seemed to have turned into an invisible air current, firmly holding the tip of the silver spear.
The gun body trembled slightly, and the golden light floated in mid-air and continued to rise behind the queen.
Seeing the spear in mid-air becoming shaky, Claudia's eyes hidden behind the mask widened slightly, showing a look of surprise.
Suddenly, a downward force shook the silver spear away, drawing a pale trajectory in the air.
Ding--
The spear bounced several times on the cracked courtyard floor in the distance, and struck hard between the nobles who fell to the ground.
The nobles shivered in fear as they looked at the silver spear that only scratched their face by a few centimeters.
The sound of breaking wind that passed by in a few seconds almost left an indelible shadow on them for the rest of their lives.
The demon hunters who saw this scene also became alert.
They quickly drew out the weapons hidden at their sides and looked closely at the demon lying on the ground in front of them.
At the same time, Claudia's eyes shifted back following the trajectory of the spear.
Suddenly, a crisp and sudden sound of applause came from the sky behind her.
Snap—pop—pop—
As the applause sounded, she turned her head again and looked at the source of the sound.
But just by looking at it, her eyes gradually became dull.
Similarly, other nobles also heard the applause.
And when they also raised their heads to look at the sky, they were slightly sluggish just like Claudia.
Because the one who appears in the sky is not someone else.
It was Lipoot.
At this moment, he was walking on the golden stairs appearing from the sky with that kind smile.
While applauding, he slowly walked towards the ground.
So...that's Lipoot?
Isn't he a businessman? How can he walk in the sky?
However, before anyone could react, Lipoot's golden eyes were already locked on Claudia:
"Your Majesty the Queen, there is nothing wrong with educating children, but domestic violence...isn't it inappropriate?"
His light footsteps landed on the ground, looking at the dying person beside him. The bull-headed demon, with prayer in his eyes, shook his head in pity.
"What a poor child. He was beaten like this by his biological mother."
With Lipoot's gentle waving gesture, the spear that penetrated both jaws of the bull's head was mysteriously pulled out.
Oweser, who was finally able to speak, hurriedly shouted to him:
"Uncle...Uncle! You are here to save me!"
"certainly."
Lipoot smiled, nodded, and said:
"After all, you still have value."
Oweser nodded wildly, extremely eagerly:
"Uncle, hurry, rescue me quickly..."
Phew——! ! !
Before he could finish speaking, a silver spear suddenly penetrated the golden countercurrent repulsion.
A silver streak of light formed in the air and pierced Oweiser's flesh-and-blood bull head.
At that moment, the entire courtyard fell into deathly silence.
Oweiser's bright red eyes froze for a moment.
A dark gloom came over his eyes, gradually covering up his bright light.
boom!
With a loud noise, the huge bull head fell heavily to the ground, causing dust to fly.
At this moment, everyone on the scene fell into silence.
Even Lipoot, who was always smiling, stood stiffly on the spot, as if his whole figure was frozen.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you said that family matters should be resolved by the family themselves, and I promised you."
"But it's no longer your family matter now, so-"
Along with a cold voice slowly sounded, the sound of gentle footsteps came from not far away.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Victor.
They saw Victor raising a hand.
The blue magical light in his hand is gradually dissipating from his palm.
Finally, he put his hands in his pockets.
Under everyone's gaze, he walked to the darkened demon as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, Victor's condensed gaze was directed at Lipoot.
A voice as cold as wind and snow rippled in everyone's ears:
"Can I hit someone?"
