"You must find it strange." After watching Leila leave the room, Celia smiled helplessly.
"What?"
"My sister, Layla."
really.
Lin Ge couldn't help but nod.
It is normal for a teenage girl to have some strange behaviors and thoughts.
But being obsessed with summoning demons is really beyond the normal scope.
According to what Ringer learned from the book, the demons in this world are absolutely evil creatures, symbolizing disaster and death, and are beings feared by people. Only cultists are willing to be associated with such things.
But Leila, as the youngest daughter of a lord, lives in a well-guarded castle, and cultists should have no chance of contacting her, so where does her love for demons come from? It can't be natural.
Compared with this, the fact that she was able to use her own body at a young age and use her sister's personal belongings to bribe strange men didn't seem like a big deal.
"Why does she like demons so much?" Ringer asked.
Celia glanced outside the door, as if to confirm if there was anyone outside, then turned back and led Linger and Lanya to sit down on the sofa. The white sofa, with a soft and skin-friendly velvet surface, is very comfortable to sit on.
"Laila was once possessed by a demon."
Celia's first words shocked Linger's heart. Lanya, who was stroking the soft sofa, also stopped her little hands and stared at her in surprise.
"Leila is my youngest sister. It is said that when she was born, her eyes were as red as blood, and she did not cry like ordinary babies when they are born. Instead, the corners of her mouth were raised strangely, like an evil smile."
"Not only that, she would also make a weird laugh when she was sleeping, which scared the maid responsible for taking care of her."
"The maid will also have strange hallucinations in the nursery. For example, she will see blood flowing out of the crib. She always feels like there is a pair of evil eyes peeping in the dark. She will have nightmares when she takes a nap secretly."
"Leela was born less than a week ago, and all kinds of weird rumors started to spread among the maids. Soon no maid dared to go near the nursery."
"My father didn't believe it at first and punished the maids severely, until he saw a vision of the crib being filled with blood."
Lanya shrank back and leaned nervously towards Ringer, as if listening to a horror story.
Ringer thought of what Layla looked like when he saw her just now. Her eyes were not red, which meant that something must have happened later to make her return to normal.
"and after?"
Celia glanced at the two people on the sofa, and then said:
"At that time, my father and mother were very scared and invited the monks from the monastery. The monks discovered that there was a sleeping demon hidden in Leila's body, and immediately suggested that my father kill Leila, who was only a week old, to prevent the demon from taking over her when she grew up. Her body is acting up."
"Both my father and my mother couldn't bear to make this decision. When they were hesitating, a wandering mage came to my father and said that he could purify the demons in Leila's body without harming her life, but he would have to take Leila away for a year. "
"Father agreed, without telling the monks in the monastery, and handed Leila over to the mage to be taken away secretly."
"A year later, the mage sent Layla back. By this time, her eyes had returned to normal. They were no longer scary red, and all kinds of terrifying hallucinations no longer appeared."
"Wouldn't that mage change the baby and send it back with a similar baby?" Ringer thought of this possibility.
"No, on the first night when Leila was sent back, her father checked her bloodline and confirmed that she was Leila. My father and mother were very happy and wanted to thank the mage, but the mage was not in the castle. If you stay here for a long time, you will leave that night."
"Do you know his name?"
Celia shook her head slightly: "No, from beginning to end, the mage did not leave any information about his identity. My father sent people to investigate, but there was no result."
"Later, the monastery learned the news and quickly sent monks to the door to ask my father to hand over Leila."
"Although my father was the lord of Lordran, he did not dare to confront the monks in the monastery, so he had to hand over Layla and claimed that the demon in Layla had been eliminated."
"After the monks carefully examined Leila's body, they found that the demon in her body had indeed disappeared, but they still kept Leila in the monastery for observation for a year, and only sent her back after confirming that she posed no threat."
After listening to Celia's story, Linge thought about it and said:
"You mean, Layla was influenced by her childhood experiences, so she was interested in things about demons? But she was still a baby at that time, so she shouldn't be able to remember what happened around her, right?"
"No, she doesn't know these things." Celia said, "She became interested in demons only after she grew older."
"When her father found out about this, he was very scared, worried that the demon in her body was still affecting her, and sent her to a monastery. But the monks found no signs of the existence of demons in her body and thought it was just some kind of wonderful coincidence. , sent her back."
"Despite this, my father will still send Layla to a monastery for one month every year, and strictly prohibits Layla from contacting magic, so don't agree to teach her."
Ringer laughed: "I am a magic apprentice, how can I be embarrassed to accept an apprentice?"
Celia suddenly looked at Linger carefully, from head to toe, and then said: "Why do I feel that you are different?"
"Really? What's different?"
Celia touched her chin: "It feels like you are getting stronger, making my body ready to move. This is the intuition I have developed through constant battles with strong enemies. It is usually very accurate."
Lin Ge thought to himself, how sensitive she is. She has clearly integrated the magic horn into the void, but she can still detect abnormalities. Is a warrior's intuition so accurate?
As a teammate, she should be told what happened to her, but would she mind joining the underground camp?
He decided to give it up for now and said with a smile: "In addition to bartending in the store, I spend most of my free time reading after get off work. How could I suddenly become stronger?"
Celia was dubious, was her intuition really wrong?
This was the first time this happened to her after she developed the strong sense. Was it because she was slacking off after returning home?
It seems that exercising in the house is still not as good as a real battle. No, I have to find a strong opponent as soon as possible to recover.
When she was making a decision secretly in her heart, she heard Lin Ge ask again:
"So Layla likes demons, is it really just a coincidence?"
"That should be the case. Except when she was just born, until she is now thirteen years old, except for her weird personality, there is no other abnormality."
"By the way, my father wants to see you." Celia suddenly remembered this matter, "My father specifically told me that after you come, I must invite you to meet him."
"now?"
"Of course tomorrow, he will prepare a dinner to formally thank you."
"No problem, then I'll pick you up tomorrow?"
"No, I'll go over now. When you get off work tomorrow, I'll come over with you. I've already heard the news that the undead army is attacking Castalon. I urgently need a strong opponent now."
