Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 545: Unexpected, But Comes As No Surprise

Me?

Yes, you entered ShenDai Yings consciousness and saw her subconscious illusion and that terrifying internal demon so Im curious about what would it be like if it were you?

Lin Xiao has thought about this question before, but unfortunately, he didnt have an answer.

My internal demons I cant think of it.

How could someone like him have any internal demons? There was nothing he was particularly scared of, nor any dreams he was set on. He just had a few normal goals, so it was hard to imagine what his internal demons would be like.

Perhaps Ill turn into a pervert from the gentleman that I am?

No, youre already a pervert, so theres no difference.

Uh other than that, then there probably isnt anything else.

Isnt there? Think about it, something you care about, something youre scared of, something you thirst for if you were infected, all those things would affect your thoughts and change you into a different person.

A different person? Hm I still dont know. Lin Xiao thought about it and still couldnt picture anything and just shrugged, Whatever, it doesnt really matter.

How would it not matter? What would we do if you were actually infected?

Its fine, if you want to know the answer, then wait until Im infected and you can enter my sea of consciousness and take a look yourself.

Right cough, but just to let you know beforehand, if you become infected, I wont save you or help you defeat your internal demons!

Hehe, okay demon king, I wont inconvenience you after all, I dont want you to see the inside of my head either.

Why? Is it filled with so many dirty things, so you dont want me to see them?

No, its because my head is filled with too much knowledge, Im afraid itll hurt your self-esteem when you see it.

Tsk. okay, stop wasting time, and lets go!

It was rare that Elena would win any of the bickering they would have and this time was no exception.

Perhaps it was as Lin Xiao said and that it was hard for someone like him to have an internal demon. Perhaps nothingness was an internal demon in and of itself. But, this was for later, now they had to think of a way to find the third apostles true identity to get revenge for ShenDai YIng!

Lets go ask Snow.

The two headed towards the grand cathedral to look for Snow, but they ended up getting bad news. Since the believers have all seen him they knew that he didnt have an ordinary relationship with Snow, and since he also had Gothams dragon, they all treated him respectfully and reported to him about Snows recent situation.

It turned out that Snow had shut herself in the research room and declined all visitors and was completely focused on her research, today was no different.

Although Lin Xiao could force himself in with his identity, he knew her research was at a crucial point, so it wouldnt be too good to interrupt her, so he gave up and planned on finding someone else to get information.

As he was mulling over how to investigate, he saw someone familiar at the doors. She was currently sitting on the steps, supporting her head with one hand and playing with dog tail grass in the other.

Nana?

Hm? A familiar voice, could it be. aunt!?

The maid sitting by the doors immediately perked up when she heard Elenas voice and ran over.

Elena! And Lin Xiao, w-why are you here?

We came to investigate something rather, Nana. Why are you here?

M-me? Hm, that.

Elona stuttered and couldnt get her words out.

Seeing that, Elena and Lin Xiao looked at one another and found it strange. They heard that Snows research was in its final stages, so what was her only assistant Elona, doing out here by herself?

Elona, whats going on?

Actually, I-I was kicked out!

Originally, Elona was the only helper and could finish everything that she was asked of, but as the research got more complicated, her head couldnt keep up, and she ended up doing dumb things because she didnt understand Snows intentions. So not only did she not help, but also caused more problems and angered Snow.

Snow said that in the end, she needs to personally use her magic power to decipher the final magic circle, so she didnt need my help anymore and she was afraid I would cause more trouble so she kicked me out

Elona pouted while showing them her behind.

Do you guys see it?

Yes so she literally kicked you out.

When they saw the small footprint, they had to hold back their laughter as they pictured the comical scene of Snow booting Elona out of the room. Lin Xiao also wanted to say that it was a good thing she was kicked out. Otherwise, he would have no idea where to start their investigation form.

So you want to know if there are any suspicious people?

Elona was at a loss and didnt know how to respond, good thing Lin Xiao was there to guide her to find more information. From what they know, there were three incidents that involved the third apostle.

First was the Yellowstone incident.

That was where they found the truth behind the plague and the existence of the black core, but it doesnt seem like there were any clues left and Darkness didnt even leave a corpse behind.

Then it was Snows assassination attempt and Lin Xiaos encounter.

During Lin Xiaos encounter, although he wasnt able to remove the third apostles mask, he still obtained quite a bit of information. The third apostle should be male and not too old, he was also strong and seemed to be someone who knew them. During their exchange, Lin Xiao noticed that the third apostle seemed to be extremely hostile towards him. It wasnt just simple hostility between enemies, but there was also jealousy mixed into it and the third apostle seemed to be familiar with the people close to him including Snow, which made him suspect that the third apostle was someone close to him!

Someone close is it Oh! I remember!

Elona finally noticed something when she heard Lin Xiaos information.

There were also peculiarities with Snows assassination attempt.

At that time, White Night, or Bob, sent the crucifix guards elsewhere and took advantage of Snows trust to trick her into a mountain pass to try and kill her. When his plan failed, the surrounding living dead laying in ambush attacked.

The entire plan was meticulously planned and it was like it was the doing of White Night alone, but Snow realized that it wasnt the case.

Even if Bob was the traitor, he didnt know Snows return route, so how was he able to prepare a large number of living dead laying in ambush ahead of time? Bob also moved with everyone else and didnt have time to secretly move the living dead, so he surely had helpers!

That helper not only had the power to mobilize a large number of living dead, but he also knew of Snows return route ahead of time.

Lin Xiao, you said that the third apostle was a young male and someone we know and he knew masters return route beforehand. I think theres only one person that fits those criteria!

Who?

Saint Nick!
