Chapter 75 Chapter 74 Overthrowing the Evil Jima
The Demon Queen…
Everyone subconsciously recalled this figure in their minds.
No.
Or rather, there were too many. Such a common nickname, there are indeed many, and not many are truly famous.
George only thought of a demon under the Blood God, named Blood God’s Bride, who seemed to have the nickname “Demon Queen” among her many aliases. However, how could this be related to Jima?
How could a bad woman like Jima, who enjoys deceiving others, possibly be addicted to chopping and killing like a butcher?
George asked:
“The Demon Queen?”
The child Dagji nodded vigorously: “Yes, it’s her, the Demon Queen!”
“She might be tricking you.”
Dagji originally feared Jima, but upon George’s question, he jumped up in a hurry, his blood rushing to his head, and exclaimed:
“I didn’t say anything wrong! You must believe me. I risked a great deal to tell you…”
His words were incoherent, lacking logic, but George still patiently listened:
“…She took both our souls and took my last silver coin as payment…
“…She said she is the Demon Queen, owning a large territory in the demon world, and she can pause time. In a blink, return to the demon world and blow up an army of one hundred thousand in an instant.
“…She also said, you are all her servants, completely deceived by her.”
“…She said if I tell on her, she will stuff my soul and my sister’s soul into a body of maggots and throw us into a cesspit.”
Saintess Jenna couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Child Dagji, filled with hot blood, anxiously waved his little fists, saying:
“Don’t doubt it! It’s all true.”
Saintess Jenna barely reined in her smile and said, “As far as I know, very few can stop time; it’s no different from a myth. If anyone could truly stop time, I think we wouldn’t have much value for her to personally come and deceive.”
“She… she said she has a hundred thousand avatars, able to deceive hundreds of thousands of people at once.”
George nodded:
“Sounds very much like Jima’s style; she loves to brag.”
“That’s not bragging!” the child Dagji shouted, “Please take it seriously! She told me that even if I told, you would just see it as a joke.”
At this point, Dagji was so anxious that he paced back and forth, occasionally stomping his feet: “Just trust me.”
“Alright.” George, true to his character, remained calm: “When she comes back, I will question her.”
“Don’t question her,” the child Dagji said, “She can stop time and kill us all. I might end up becoming a body of maggots, but Saint Paladin, everyone is relying on you; you are a great person.”
“Listen, child, don’t be afraid.” George squatted down and placed his hands on his shoulders, saying, “I know Jima; she is good at lying. You were just fooled by her.”
Dagji was both angry and anxious, stomping his feet hard with tears in his eyes, saying:
“I saw it with my own eyes! She was so thin and small, yet the trolls obediently lay down for her to behead them.”
Seeing the child scared by Jima, George decided to expose Jima’s shameless schemes, saying, “Did you see her stop time with your own eyes? Calm down and think carefully; when it comes to simply killing trolls, did she perform well, or did I perform well?”
“I saw it with my own eyes when she almost got hit by a troll’s stick.” The child Dagji swore, raising his hand, “She stopped time, went back, and killed an army of one hundred thousand. Otherwise, how could the Demon Queen have almost been hit by the troll’s club?”
“But she is not the Demon Queen; perhaps she just lost face, so she is lying to scare you.”
“How is that possible?” The child Dagji could not resist Jima’s lies, “She can stop time; how could she not be the Demon Queen?”
George sighed lightly, looking at Jenna, who did not laugh but asked, “Can you remove his abnormal state?”
Ordinary people might think it was Dagji who was too foolish, but Jenna, being an extraordinary person with relevant knowledge, understood. This was not an intelligence issue. Jima’s extraordinary abilities had affected the child, who was just a mortal living in an area rich in magical energy.
Even the smartest person, as long as they are a mortal, would be affected by this ability.
“There is no way.” Jenna shook her head and said, “Jima is really overboard, bullying a child like this. There are solutions; let her, the culprit, admit it personally. Use your abilities to judge her and expose her crimes to the public, but the latter option…”
George said, “Judging her for deceiving a child, everyone would laugh until they rolled on the ground.”
The child Dagji was still insisting: “She is the Demon Queen, really, you all…”
George reassured him again: “Don’t be afraid; we will protect you, and my god will protect your soul.”
With that, he stood up, intending to wait for Jima’s return.
At that moment, Eve Frostleaf spoke up just in time: “Earlier, I saw Jima opening her barrier, quietly talking to them, and then the child stumbled toward the crowd.”
Growing up in the Elven Court, she was perceptive and got straight to the point.
George squatted down again and asked, “What did she say to you?”
The child Dagji recounted everything.
George suddenly understood Jima’s ploy and said, “She must have used the child to spread rumors; no wonder I found the representatives of the refugees speaking oddly.”
Jenna found it strange and asked, “Why?”
“That’s something to ask her.” George said, “Speculating on motives isn’t the best idea.”
Just as he finished speaking, George suddenly stood up again, raised his head, and shouted into the air: “Jima! Come down quickly! There’s something!”
Originally, Jima had canceled her invisibility to save magic, but upon seeing Dagji and George from afar, she quickly turned and tried to escape invisibly.
However, George had a 360-degree field of vision, even wearing a fully enclosed helmet, and his sight had inherent anti-invisibility abilities.
George’s voice was too loud; Jima had no choice but to return obediently. As soon as she landed and saw George, a radiant and charming smile spread across her face as she said:
“My dear, I missed you so much after just a moment of not seeing you. It’s truly a blessing that I can marry you.”
Setting aside the cheesy words, her tone and demeanor were impeccable.
Child Dagji, frightened, grabbed his sister’s hand and ran behind George, shouting: “Quick, draw your sword! She really is the Demon Queen.”
George took a deep breath and asked: “Jima, are you the Demon Queen?”
“No.”
“Did you take their two souls?”
“No, I don’t have that ability.”
“Can you stop time?”
“No.”
“Can you blow up an army of one hundred thousand in an instant?”
“No.”
“Do you have your own territory in the demon world?”
“No.”
George earnestly spoke to Jima; his expression was calm, but the other two women’s gazes were piercing into Jima’s face. Jenna’s apple cheeks twitched, almost unable to hold in her laughter, and Eve Frostleaf? Her eyes were meaningful.
Jima’s tail was trying to burrow into the ground to hide.
She said, “I was just playing with them.”
“Is it fun to deceive children?”
“Fun.”
“Apologize.”
“Apologize?”
“You scared them.”
Child Dagji was still mumbling: “You all got tricked… “She is deceiving you.”
“I’ve explained everything.” Jima said, “After all, I am their savior; this act of saving doesn’t need to be repaid.”
Eve Frostleaf spoke up: “You took a silver coin as a payment for saving them.”
Finally, Jenna couldn’t help it and let out a light laugh.
Jima looked at Eve Frostleaf, and how she hated the pretty woman not on the bed!
Eve Frostleaf slightly nodded and said: “Salute to you, Demon Queen.”
Jima immediately covered her face.
