"The prince of the Kingdom of Dussel is named Loe. When the prince was sixteen years old, he held an adult dance to choose the girl he liked. I also asked my two daughters to participate in this dance, but I didn't expect Sophie
The girl put on a gorgeous outfit somewhere and attended the wedding under the pseudonym Princess Cindy.
What's annoying is that Sophie just wanted to attend the lively dance and was not interested in the prince at all. But the prince fell in love with Cindy, so my other two daughters returned without success." Figas said about this incident that year.
At the time, I was still a little angry.
If Sophie also went for Prince Loe, perhaps Figas would not be so angry. But it was Sophie's unintentional act that made her other two daughters become bystanders, and the feeling of unwillingness was even stronger.
"I have a question, why do you treat Sophie differently and not let her participate in the dance?" Lin Jiu raised a doubt here. Even if Figas is not a good person, as a great mage, there is no need to fight with a
The girl can't live with it. Especially since this girl is her stepdaughter, unless the truth is as the rumors say, her husband was cursed to death by her.
"Wealth is the best outcome for my two daughters. I also need this support, but not for Sophie." Figas replied.
"I see, please continue." Lin Jiu signaled to Figas to continue. He also understood what Figas meant. Like Anna, Sophie is also extremely talented. Marrying the royal family is a waste of talent. I don't know.
Did Figas have the idea of using Sophie later, but the restriction on Sophie at that time was a kind of protection.
"At that time, we didn't know that there had been great changes in the dark world and that the sealing mirror was broken. So when I saw Sophie attending the ceremony, although I was a little confused, I didn't think too much about it. After all, there are too many magic props in this world.
Already.
But things are not that simple. The magic crystal ball that allows Sophie to transform into Princess Cindy seems to be subtly affecting Sophie, and even produces the opposite evil personality... I don't know much about the details, so I can only tell you the final one.
The winner is Sophie. She successfully defeated the influence of the magic crystal ball.
However, the evil personality is not so easy to solve, so she chose the method of separation. The Prince Loe incident in the Kingdom of Dussel is related to the evil personality. And the Ice Witch murder incident in the small town of Metz is also related to the incident of that year.
The matter is related." Figas quickly told Lin Jiu the information he knew, and then prepared to drive them away.
"It turns out that she really turned dark." Lin Jiu also roughly understood the story of "Cinderella" that year. The magic prop crystal ball failed to guide Sophie to turn dark, and the costume was originally made by the crystal ball, so Loe
The glass slipper picked up by the prince is worth pondering.
And Sophie is indeed the existence that Anna told Lin Jiu he didn't need to worry about. She is ten times stronger when she becomes black, and then she doesn't become weaker after she is whitened, which is very scary.
"I would like to ask, what's going on with the smart mouse next to Sophie?" Since Lin Jiu couldn't get Sophie's whereabouts, he asked for information about his main target, the smart mouse.
"That little mouse is a little clever, but it can't do anything big. It just got fooled and helped Sophie steal the crystal ball." Figas obviously doesn't have very good senses about smart mice. …
"Being cheated? Stealing a crystal ball? Does this crystal ball have an owner?" Lin Jiu obviously grasped the key to the question. Worried that Figas would not answer, Lin Jiu slapped another gold brick on the table.
"That's right, the crystal ball originally belonged to the forest elf, but it was targeted by a certain guy, and he took this opportunity to steal the crystal ball. As for whether he succeeded in the end, I don't know." Figas whispered.
He put away the gold bricks silently and looked at Lin Jiu with a careful look while explaining.
She was thinking that the guy in front of her was not a prince of some kingdom. Even a prince would not be able to take out gold bricks one by one. She had heard that a certain arrogant king was very brave in taking action.
"Your Excellency Chiyou..." Figas called out when he found that Lin Jiu had been silent for a while and had not made a sound.
"I'm fine, I just thought of something." Lin Jiu heard so many twists and turns in Sophie's story, and suddenly found that his understanding of Anna's story was too thin. But it's normal, Anna's dream story
It's just a small fragment, but the story told by Figas is more complete.
Even so, if Lin Jiu hadn't asked Smart Mouse, he still wouldn't have known about the forest elves and the peeping into the crystal ball. He only got a rough idea of the Cinderella story from Figas's telling. The story of Anna that no one had told.
, he has only experienced a little bit, so naturally he feels that the story is thin.
Figas: Who cares if anything happens to you? I just want you to get out of my house!
Lin Jiu obviously did not have this awareness. After asking about Sophie, he asked the Archmage about his main mission: "Ms. Figas, you are the first Archmage I have met. I want to ask you something."
Do you know the information about the devil?"
"Devil!" Hearing this word, Figas Tong suddenly shrank and immediately replied: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it. Your Excellency Chiyou, it's time for you to leave."
This is why Lin Jiu initially chose the plan of using force to inquire for information. Sophie's information was pretty good, but the key was the devil.
At that time, he knew that Figas could do magic, and Lin Jiu knew that she was a mage, so he had the idea of asking about the magic doll. Then there were two situations at this time. Figas was only initially involved in magic. In this case, there is a high probability that she does not know any magic.
.
Another situation is that Figas has good magical attainments, and now Figas is an archmage, which can also be included in the second situation. In this case, he knows the information about the golem, but he also knows that he is very interested in the magic guild.
For mages, golems are a taboo existence.
Naturally, he would not reveal it easily. This would be causing trouble for himself. Even though Figas is a great mage, he still hopes to stay away from such a big trouble.
If he didn't use extraordinary measures, Lin Jiu would not be able to obtain information about the demon at all.
The next moment, Lin Jiu began to take out gold bricks and put them in front of Figas. Knowing that this kind of ordinary gold was useful to her, he could use financial resources to defeat her defense. Soon the gold bricks piled up into a small mountain on the table.
.
"Let me slow down for a moment..." Figas looked at the table of gold. Many businessmen have so much wealth, but they are all misers, and they are definitely not as generous as Lin Jiu. The only possibility is...
"Did you rob the treasure of the Forty Thieves?" Figas also heard the story that happened in ancient Persia. In addition, she had to suspect that Lin Jiu was actually a thief. The more she thought about it, the more likely it became.
, broke into other people's homes in the middle of the night, and was familiar with the road. At first glance, he was a master of killing and stealing goods.
"Let's put aside this matter for the time being. This matter about the demon..." Lin Jiu was still more concerned about the news about the demon.
"What do you want to ask about the golem? Do you want to release Lafayette?" At the mention of the golem, Figas instantly calmed down after seeing a pile of gold bricks and asked.
"I want to rob someone of something, so there's no point in rescuing the owner of the thing." Lin Jiu said simply.
