Chapter 309: "Heresy" Holy Maiden!
"You want to go secretly to Hillenbrand Town?"
Doyle Candice showed an expression of great shock at the Demon King’s words.
A tall, grand figure of the Lord of the Demon King, standing ten meters tall, unconsciously appeared in her mind.
With the prefix "secret," Doyle found it hard to imagine what that kind of scene would look like.
It was probably the Lord of the Demon King, wearing a full set of huge armor, crouching in the mountains and forests south of Hillenbrand Town, holding two giant trees beside her head for camouflage.
"Lady Doyle… you seem to be thinking of something very rude…"
The voice of the Demon King rang out again, powerful and majestic, yet tinged with a hint of helplessness.
Hearing the Demon King’s words, Doyle immediately snapped back to reality and shook her head vigorously.
"No, not at all, Lord of the Demon King… it’s just that I am too foolish to imagine and see your plans!"
Doyle quickly explained respectfully.
The Demon King did not seem to mind much, only letting out a soft sigh.
"I also have ways to make myself look less ‘out of place’, so there is no need to worry."
The Demon King’s voice continued to resonate beside Doyle, slowly shifting from a powerful chorus to a single tone.
It was as if voices were being taken away.
The last sound that remained was a cold voice, like a spring with tiny bits of ice in it.
"Lady Doyle—look up."
The Lord of the Demon King said, and Doyle looked up.
Then, the Little Devil’s mouth opened wide like an "O," as if it could fit an entire light bulb.
"The… Lord of the Demon King?"
She said this with three parts fear, three parts shock, and four parts questioning her life; her voice was filled with disbelief and a crumbling view of the world.
It was as if she saw the most frightening and unbelievable thing in the world.
"It is I, Lady Doyle… Change your appearance a bit—don’t tell me that there is nothing like that in your little secret stash; just make sure Dear Lolth doesn’t find out it is you."
The Demon King remained calm and spoke to Doyle.
"Once we are ready, we will set off immediately."
Although her voice became simple, her authority did not lessen at all.
However, Doyle, who was visually shocked, took a long while before she nodded.
"Yes, the Lord of the Demon King."
Besides Demon King Castle, similar conversations were happening in other parts of the continent.
Hundreds of kilometers away from the Holy Capital of The Church of Light, in a small church near the northwest border of the Holy Lieto Empire, the Lady of Light and Janine Irene were inside, reading reports from the front lines.
"What a good opportunity… Your Holiness," Janine Irene said in surprise as she looked at the report, "Recently, Hillenbrand Town, which is controlled by succubi, has become more open, and many people are coming and going from that remote town every day… This is our perfect chance to sneak in."
"Also, it seems there will be a small event tonight. According to the information, many common people, nobles, and even guards from the Demon Legion will be attending."
Janine Irene’s voice was a bit excited, and her emotions were very high.
Clearly, she was not worried about the number of guards from the internal demon tribe.
Based on her judgment that she and the Holy Maiden together could defeat all the high-level warriors of the Vera Plain demon race, Janine Irene felt that the bigger the scene, the better, and the more people, the better.
This way, she and the Holy Maiden would have more opportunities, without a doubt.
Even if they were discovered, they could still win.
This was Janine Irene’s thought.
"We shouldn’t delay, let’s set off quickly!"
She looked at the Holy Maiden and said eagerly.
But the Lady of Light glanced at Janine Irene and gently shook her head.
"Irene… Don’t be too anxious."
"Even if the scene is very chaotic, do you think we can blend in with our outfits?"
The Lady of Light looked at Janine Irene and asked seriously.
One of them was wearing a holy and pure robe that only the Lady of Light was qualified to wear, decorated with golden threads and a white garment as smooth as jade. Anyone with a little knowledge could recognize her identity, and even those without knowledge could guess she was likely a high-ranking member of The Church of Light.
As for Janine Irene…
Not to mention her knightly white armor was already very eye-catching, but even her cloak had the words "Divine Oracle" printed in the common language of the continent.
Now, anyone who could read would know who she was!
Janine Irene, reminded by the Lady of Light, also realized her oversight and scratched her head in embarrassment.
"I’m sorry, Her Holiness, it was my mistake… Let’s change into ordinary civilian clothes together—I will go borrow some from the priest."
"No, it’s better not to change into commoner’s clothes."
The Lady of Light said this and shook her head.
"If we change into the common clothes of the Holy Lieto Empire, it will look very suspicious; and if we wear the common clothes of Vera Plain, they are not available right now, and during the change, the demon race might notice something unusual… So… let me handle the image change."
The Lady of Light said this, and Janine Irene nodded, stopping in her tracks.
"I understand, Your Holiness… then I will leave it to you!"
Janine Irene said seriously.
The Lady of Light also nodded and then spoke softly.
"Well… Irene, the next matters still need to be kept secret as usual."
A pure wave of magical energy suddenly appeared in her hand.
It is not the God of Light’s magic or the power of Holy Light, but… pure waves of magical energy!
As a Holy Maiden raised by The Church of Light, she should not have any chance to learn anything other than divine spells!
Also, she does not have the qualifications!
In fact, The Church of Light strictly does not allow priests to learn other kinds of magic or spells.
However, in most cases, many priests are not under the control of the Papal State, and there are certain barriers to using God of Light’s magic, so many priests in remote churches and traveling missionaries learn other things, and the church turns a blind eye.
But no matter what…
As a Holy Maiden of The Church of Light to learn and use "magic" is undoubtedly challenging the church’s boundaries!
If any member of The Church of Light saw this, they would be so shocked they could not speak.
For a Holy Maiden, this is enough to be brought before the Heretic Tribunal!
However, Janine Irene did not seem surprised when she saw this scene.
"Of course, I will keep the secret, Your Holiness!"
She spoke as if she had said it countless times before, saying it smoothly.
