However, at this time, a rebellious young man suddenly said, "Hey, are you kidding me? The princess is meeting this guy? Meeting this kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet?"
Roa frowned and turned his eyes to the young man.
Claire went directly to the young man, reached out and grabbed the young man's collar, and lifted him up.
Claire said angrily, "What do you want to do? Didn't your father tell you not to cause trouble? What's wrong with you? Bastard."
The young man's name was Armando Drac, seventeen years old this year. In fact, he was also born into a noble family and lived a carefree life.
But all this changed because of the arrival of a noble who was one level higher than them.
Nobles are greedy.
Small nobles suck the blood of civilians, and big nobles suck the blood of small nobles.
And the nobles above them have power and influence, and Armando's family has long been in decline and cannot resist at all.
Finally, his father thought of many ways, one of which was to contact distant relatives, hoping to send his son out to become a knight trainee. This way, he would be working in the palace and staying around the Royal family every day, so that the big noble could restrain himself a little.
The specific feasibility is unknown, and the actual situation has to be calculated separately. Fortunately, his son has a little talent and can barely qualify.
As for the relative mentioned earlier, it is naturally Claire's family.
Claire's impression of this guy was average. Although she helped him because of the relationship between relatives, if this guy kept causing trouble, Claire would choose to let him fend for himself.
She was originally going to wait and see. If this guy had a good brain, he could stay by her side and be cultivated.
But now it seems that Armando is a stupid guy.
Armando calmly pushed Claire's hand away and mocked Roa, "What, this adventurer appointed by the princess, don't you have anything to say?"
Claire's face was a little ugly, and she said to Armando, "What do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?" Armando's mouth curled up, revealing a smile, "Let me follow you to see the princess, I will prove that I am better than him."
Roa looked at the young man in front of him who was still a little handsome and couldn't help but ask, "You, you haven't figured out the situation, have you?"
Claire didn't say anything more, this time she just looked at Armando coldly.
Armando looked at Roa provocatively and said casually, "I don't know where you came from, but since you want to see the princess, you must take me with you."
Roa sighed and turned his gaze to Claire, "Are all the people in the Royal capital like this?"
Claire withdrew her cold gaze from Armando and said expressionlessly, "Your deeds have not been spread, so Armando doesn't know. However, if you come up to provoke others just because of this, Armando, you have disappointed me too much."
Armando shrugged, still looking arrogant. He said to Roa, "Why don't we have a duel? If I win, I will get the opportunity to meet the princess. If you win, I will leave."
Roa looked at the young man opposite him, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt a sense of incongruity.
It was really strange for a guy like this to suddenly pop up, run out to provoke, and then propose a duel.
Thinking of this, Roa couldn't help but take a few more glances at him, but with just these few glances, Roa discovered the clue.
From the other party, Roa felt the fluctuation of magic power.
It was not surprising to have the fluctuation of magic power, but Roa felt an evil aura emanating from the other party.
"Ho, interesting, then I will accept your challenge."
Roa's mouth curled up, he wanted to see what this guy wanted to do.
Armando drew out the long sword from his waist and smiled, "Come on, let me see your strength."
Roa also slowly grasped the hilt of the long sword.
The two retreated ten feet and faced each other.
Roa didn't say anything more. As a Sword Master, he couldn't lose. If he was defeated by a kid in this place, he might as well not be the Sword God.
Then, the young man in front of him drew his sword and rushed towards Roa.
The movements were considered neat, but there were too many flaws. The flaws exposed on the right were enough for Roa to knock him to the ground with one blow.
Just as Roa was about to make a move, a mental force directly erupted, and the system prompt directly came from Roa's ear.
[You are under mental interference.]
[Comparing the mental power attributes of both sides, the judgment failed, and this attack is invalidated.]
[You have received the skill: Demon Whisper.]
[Effect: When the controller's mental power is lower than the caster's, their consciousness will be manipulated by the opponent.]
[Compared to the mental power attributes of both sides, the judgment failed, and this attack is invalidated.]
The invisible mental power shock turned into a wave, rushing directly towards Roa's location, very fast, and outsiders couldn't see the abnormality at all.
However, the invisible mental power was instantly crushed by Roa's powerful mental power upon contact, without causing a ripple.
Roa: …
No way, dude, you're actually a demon?
The corner of the rushing teenager's mouth hooked up, and seeing Roa honestly preparing for a duel, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
However, when Roa grabbed his neck, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The long sword held in his right arm was instantly cut down, and Roa didn't hold back, directly reaching out his left hand to lift him up.
The left hand was getting stronger and stronger, and Roa wanted to strangle this guy to death.
A look of surprise flashed in Armando's eyes, but even though Roa was grabbing his throat, his expression was very calm.
"Tch, did it fail?"
If mental control is used but fails to control the opponent, the opponent will inevitably notice it. This demon knows that his identity can no longer be hidden, so he simply reveals his cards.
"Roa? You actually resisted my control."
'Armando' didn't panic at all. He just stared at Roa coldly. Roa frowned, and his left hand exerted a little force. 'Armando's' face quickly turned an unnatural red. But his smile was still rampant, and he looked at Roa provocatively, making a throat-slitting gesture.
Claire noticed that something was wrong here, ran over, and asked directly, "What's wrong?"
Roa looked at Claire, then at the guy in front of him, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Don't you check whether adventurers are controlled by demons?"
As soon as these words came out, Claire's face changed. She looked at 'Armando', and soon her brows furrowed.
"The Royal capital has the blessing of artifacts, and demons cannot enter. Moreover, there are many high priests in the Royal capital. If there are demons, they can be seen at a glance."
Speaking of this, Claire narrowed her eyes, casting an inquiring gaze on Roa, and asked directly, "This guy, could it be?"
Roa nodded, and this time he didn't waste any words, simply twisting the arm of the young man in front of him a full 180 degrees, and then kicking him to the ground.
'Armando' didn't care. Since he had been seen through, he simply stopped acting.
"Hahaha, that's right, he has been controlled by me. I am the famous high-ranking demon, Ultima."
Armando said coldly, "Even if you see through me, what can you do? I am a demon, and I have controlled this adventurer. His life and death are in my hands, oh? Hurry up and think of a way to expel me, and then he will have a chance of survival."
"Don't even think about finding a high priest to expel me at this time. First of all, let's not talk about whether you can find a level 30 high priest proficient in holy light magic. Even if you can find a high priest, I can make this little guy die on the spot. What, do you want to try begging me? Maybe I can give this guy a way out?"
'Armando', or rather Ultima, showed a cruel smile, and at the same time his expression became evil. Ultima looked at Roa with interest, as if preparing to appreciate Roa's panicked expression.
Demons are like this, they mainly feed on human emotions. The more frightened and scared the opponent is, the more delicious the demon can taste.
Although he didn't know what was wrong with this high-ranking demon's brain, he actually controlled an adventurer and planned to sneak into the Royal capital, but since he had been caught, he had to disgust the other party.
However, Ultima was destined to be disappointed.
Waiting for Ultima was Roa's plain gaze. Roa asked strangely, "Why do you think the life and death of a passerby is important to me?"
Claire was about to speak, but was stifled back by Roa's words, looking at Roa in astonishment.
Roa said slowly, "Is his death important to me? Why would you use him to threaten me?"
The smile on Ultima's mouth gradually disappeared, and his eyes stared unblinkingly at Roa's pair of light golden eyes.
"Heh, is that so? Should I say you are a cold-blooded person? Even if someone is about to die in front of you, you won't care?"
Ultima shrugged, got up from the ground, and his expression was still indifferent.
The demon's intuition told him that the young man in front of him was not lying, and in fact, Roa really thought so.
Although he failed to successfully threaten the other party, it didn't mean he would give up.
Ultima smiled and said, "I will come back to find you, wait for me, oh."
"As for him, you also said you don't care, so let's just kill him." Ultima showed a sinister smile, preparing to slit his throat and commit suicide.
However, Roa still stopped him.
"Wait, how about we play a game?" Roa said.
Ultima's movements paused slightly, and his eyes emitted an excited light. He pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I smell the scent of conditions."
Roa remained noncommittal and took the opportunity to propose his game: "I will open up my spiritual world. If you can do it, just try to control me directly."
"Oh? Sounds tempting?" Ultima looked at Roa with interest and asked directly, "Human, aren't you a little too arrogant? I don't know how you resisted my mental control, but you need to know that letting me freely enter your spiritual world is like handing the blade to my hand."
Roa smiled and said, "Why, don't you want to try?"
Ultima returned a smile, the devil shrugged and said to Roa, "If you want to try, then let's try."
Claire grabbed Roa and came to his side. The female knight's face showed a serious and earnest expression. Claire said to Roa, "Are you sure? The other party is a high-ranking demon, not so easy to deal with."
In contrast to Claire's attitude, Roa seemed unhurried. Roa showed the ring on his right ring finger and smiled at the knight, "I have the blessing of the goddess, this kind of small matter is no problem."
Claire's gaze was on the ring. The antique ring gave people an extraordinary appearance just from its style. Claire didn't say anything more, nodded, and let Roa do it.
"I'm ready, how about you?" Roa returned to Ultima again and said to Ultima.
Ultima looked at Roa and explained his request.
"You just need to open the door to your spiritual world, kid. Although I don't know what you're thinking, but bewitching and manipulating people's hearts is what we devils are best at. You have your confidence, and I have my confidence."
Roa interrupted Ultima's nagging and said directly, "Come on."
This world does have shackles, and the shackles do restrict Roa, but the shackles do not restrict his mental power. His own small world is now looking forward to it, just preparing for the snacks in front of him to be delivered to his door.
What? You say you are a high-ranking demon?
Laugh to death, the previous Dark Elemental Lord came, and he still knelt. What high-ranking demon, when he comes to Roa's spiritual world, he is his snack.
Of course, the reason why the other party gave it away so quickly was mainly because of the information gap.
Demons are used to showing off their power in this world. Except for those clergy who cannot be bewitched, or those with mental resistance artifacts or magic props, it is very easy for a demon to bewitch an adventurer.
Ultima is a high-ranking demon, and he is even more skilled in this regard.
Although the initial bewitchment failed, Ultima believed that the other party might be carrying some other sacred attribute props, which made his skills ineffective, but now the other party actually opened up his spirit, isn't this a free gift?
Perhaps the other party thought that his magic props could block his spiritual invasion, but Ultima would let the other party know what cruelty is.
Very good, I have the advantage in this game.
Thinking of this, both of them showed smug smiles, looking at each other as if they were looking at the fish on the chopping board.
This game is stable!
