Chapter 24 Aftermath Treatment
After settling the case of the Marquis of Dallas, Melo also thought about how to deal with the nearly 70 orphans. Finally, after thinking about it, she decided to hand over the matter to a trustworthy noble. For her,
There is only one noble in this kingdom that she trusts - the Northfield family.
"Next... I can only wrong you a little bit."
A dazzling white light emitted from Melo's hand. After the white light dissipated, all the children in front of her disappeared. However, it is not accurate to say that they disappeared. It is more accurate to say that those children are now contained by her.
"The Book of Space" won.
However, the white light just now was actually just an ordinary sleep light. Mero was put into the "Book of Space" after the children fell asleep, and Mero also planned to wait until the children woke up.
All problems have been solved before.
"Okay, then let's go to the lord."
Mero had secretly visited the Northfield Territory several times, so she knew very well where Alice's father was. Therefore, it didn't take her long to return to the Northfield Territory from the Marquis of Dallas' territory. Then,
We arrived at the lord's office.
"This is it, then..."
Melo changed her appearance into that of a child, and then her figure disappeared into this area as if it were hidden.
"..."
Alice's father was currently sitting in a chair dealing with a large pile of documents spread out on the table. However, he soon noticed a slight change in the atmosphere in the room.
"Who is he? Come out."
"Haha, have you discovered my aura? Although it is intentional, no one without any strength can detect it."
"Are you... Alice? No, no, you are not her. Who are you?"
Mero leaned out from a corner of the room. The moment he saw Mero, Duke Northfield also thought that the person who appeared was Alice. However, he also quickly noticed that this person was not Alice.
Alice.
"Who am I? Yes, let me introduce myself. My name is Mero, and I am the seventh evil star warrior under the command of Demon King Solomon."
After listening to Melo's self-introduction, Duke Northfield did not keep a good face towards her like Lady Isadora. On the contrary,
He immediately took a sword from the side and prepared to fight.
"Forget it, stop fighting."
Melo appeared in front of Duke Northfail as if teleporting, and grabbed his right hand holding the sword with her slender hand.
The Duke of Northfield felt that he could not move his hands at all, and at this distance, he could clearly feel the terror of Melo, which made him shed a cold sweat unconsciously.
Melo gently tapped the Duke's hand with her other hand, causing him to drop the sword in his hand to the ground. At the same time, she also let go of Duke Northfield's arm.
"What are you going to do? If you want to kill, then kill."
Hearing the other party say this, Melo smiled. She smiled and said to the Duke: "Your Majesty the Duke, you have lived for so long, and your mind is still a little dull. Now that I have let go of you,
If you meet someone with a bad temper, wouldn't you be seeking death?"
The Duke didn't say anything after hearing what Melo said, but Melo said after that: "Actually, you don't need to be so wary of me. I'm already very familiar with your wife and daughter, but
...Judging from your reaction to me, it seems that none of them have mentioned anything about me to you."
"You said...my wife and daughter..."
"Yes, your third daughter Alice Northfield and I can be said to be good friends, and your wife knows about my existence from the records left by the Northfield family.
"
"I see, but I really can't believe what you said."
"I also know that because of my status as an evil star warrior, there are only a handful of humans who have a good attitude toward me. However, I swear in the name of Demon King Solomon that I have never done anything to treat your wife.
Things that are not good for my daughter."
After swearing the oath of Demon King Solomon, the magic circle of oath appeared on the back of Mero's hand, but even so, the Duke still did not fully trust Mero.
"Looking at you, it seems like you still don't believe what I said."
"I don't know if the oath sworn in the name of Demon King Solomon will protect the demons. However, if you are willing to swear it in the name of Saint Rosa Elena, I am willing to believe it."
Although Melo has always been known as
I swear in the name of Demon King Solomon, but there is actually oath magic in the human world, but in the human world, I swear in the name of Saint Rosa Elena. After all, to humans, Rosa Elena is
the object of their faith.
"You're quite vigilant, but that's okay. Let me swear. I, the Seventh Evil Star Shimero, swear in the name of Saint Rosa Elena that I have never done anything to you.
Things that are detrimental to my wife and daughter.”
After swearing the oath, the oath magic circle appeared again on the back of Melo's hand. However, the pattern of the oath magic circle was slightly different from the pattern when Demon King Solomon activated the oath. However, the actual effect is still the same.
Not long after, the magic circle of oaths on the back of his hand slowly disappeared. After this oath, the Duke finally believed in Melo.
"I apologize to you for my unreasonableness. Then what does the famous Seventh Evil Star Warrior want to do with me?"
"Well, there are actually some things that I hope the lord can help with."
Melo explained to the Duke what had just happened. After listening to Melo's story, the Duke could not hide his surprise.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Of course, by the way, these children I mentioned are in this "Book of Space". I ask you to place them in various orphanages in the territory for temporary care. I hope you can help with this."
"...Okay, I understand, I'll help you with this."
After a period of consideration, the Duke finally agreed to Melo's request. After seeing that the other party agreed to his request, Melo said "Thank you" with a happy expression.
After that, Milo released all the children in the "Book of Space", and after seeing so many children, the Duke sighed helplessly.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Duke. If you can't cope with it financially, just take this."
Melo threw out a sack from Solomon's bracelet. From the opening, it could be seen that it was all filled with gold coins. It was more than enough to take care of these children.
"Thank you for your help, Duke. I can leave with peace of mind."
