Mephilia came before Liana and, seeing her red and swollen eyes, asked with some heartache, “What’s wrong, Liana?”

Liana had calmed down a little now. “Mephilia, quickly use your sacred magic to check on Erinna. See if there’s anything abnormal.”

Sacred magic? Abnormal? After the trial?

From this scene and Liana’s words and actions, Mephilia had basically guessed what had happened.

“Alright...” Mephilia raised her hand, and the light of sacred healing covered Erinna’s body. She checked her very carefully.

About ten minutes passed. The high-intensity examination made a few beads of sweat appear on Mephilia’s forehead, but there was good news.

“There’s nothing abnormal with Erinna’s body. It’s just some superficial wounds,” Mephilia said.

Her words finally made Liana feel a little more at ease, but she did not let her guard down.

After all, Mephilia was not a professional. It was possible she had overlooked something.

But this was also unlikely, because Mephilia’s sacred magic was different from the elementary sacred magic Erinna had used.

No demon could withstand the purification of sacred magic. The fact that Erinna was fine meant that the wisp of demonic energy had been eliminated before it had a chance to do anything.

But this method was only suitable for immediate treatment and for those who had not been corroded over a large area.

For someone like Ang, he was completely beyond saving. He had already been fully fused. If sacred magic were used for purification, it would only purify him along with the demon.

“I told you I was fine. Don’t worry so much, Sister Liana,” Erinna said, appearing very relaxed. Apart from a hole in her palm, she didn’t feel any discomfort.

“Your Highness Liana.” Minoga appeared before her at this moment, holding a young girl in her arms.

However, the girl’s eyes were filled with confusion. What was going on? Why had she suddenly been brought here? She was clearly collecting medicinal herbs a second ago. How did she suddenly arrive here?

The person brought over by Minoga was none other than Ambis’s student, Sybil.

In the current Lisat Kingdom, Sybil’s healing magic was the best. And she was Ambis’ student, her credentials needed no further explanation. Sybil got down from Minoga’s arms and patted her own cheeks.

So this is the speed of a Judge?

She had arrived here in just an instant. But from the looks of it, it hadn’t been easy for Minoga either.

“Thank you.” This was the first time Liana had seen Minoga show a somewhat tired expression. To make even a Judge feel tired, she had really pushed her speed to the limit.

“Sybil, do you know about the demon race?” Liana asked.

“The demon race...” Sybil thought for a moment. Teacher Ambis had indeed mentioned this to her a long time ago. “I know a little.”

“I’ll leave Erinna to you. A thorough, serious examination. Make sure there are no problems. I will double your reward,” Liana said.

“The reward is not a problem. Teacher Ambis has been very kind to me. I will do my best to treat Duchess Erinna,” Sybil said.

Only after handing Erinna over to Sybil did Liana feel a little more at ease.

“Sister Liana, really, don’t worry about me so much. I really don’t feel any discomfort,” Erinna said.

“Didn’t you promise me you would accept the treatment?” Although Liana knew Erinna was saying this to comfort her, right now, she should be getting proper treatment. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

“Alright, alright, I know, Sister Liana.” Erinna also knew that only by accepting the examination now could she put her sister’s mind at ease.

She took out the magic core and handed it to Liana. “Although the owner of this core is already dead and it should be very safe, the other party was a demon, after all. You should still be careful, Sister Liana.”

“I know.” Liana looked at the cold, gem-like core in her hand. She wished she could crush it in the next second, but she couldn’t possibly do that.

Erinna had risked her life to get this back for her. With it, she could learn a little more about the demon race and be better able to deal with them. So she couldn’t possibly do that.

Liana walked towards the elderly teacher. “Ask whatever you want to know. But whether we do it here is up to you.”

Liana didn’t intend to hold back anything about the demonkind. She was not so arrogant as to think that just the few of them knowing this information, could handle the matter.

“Come with me,” the elderly teacher said.

“Your Highness Liana, I will take good care of Duchess Erinna.” Loraviel knew very well what she should be doing at this moment. Her Highness was very worried about her sister’s condition. Having someone she trusted to protect Erinna would make her feel much more at ease.

And Princess Mephilia would surely have to follow. She couldn’t help Princess Liana much in this regard. Everyone had their own things to do. ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) For matters concerning the Ibett Magic Academy, Princess Mephilia was certainly more suitable than her.

“Let’s go, Liana. I also want to know what on earth happened,” Mephilia said, following by her side.

The teacher addressed the crowd.

“We will give you all answers. For now, just focus on treating the remaining injured,” the elderly teacher said, quieting the noisy plaza.

Some people clenched their fists, their eyes red, looking at their dead relatives, their bodies constantly shaking.

Liana could feel many hostile gazes. Because she was the only one who had walked out completely unscathed, without even a speck of dust on her.

No one knew what had happened inside, but the fact was, Liana had walked out unharmed, while Erinna had only suffered a minor injury.

And she was holding a strange object in her hand. Who knew what had happened there?

Liana and Mephilia followed the teacher into the meeting room.

Here, Liana saw several unfamiliar Judges. Apart from the one who had defected with Crown Prince Hodwen, and the one with the second prince in the Elf Forest, all of them had come here.

Liana looked up and saw an old woman sitting next to the King of Lisat. She had a petite figure and looked very frail, but she seemed to have been looking at her the whole time. Liana didn’t know why.

In any case, she knew one thing. Everyone sitting here was a leader in some field. This could be said to be the top powers of the Lisat Kingdom.

Because of the demon simulation, they had all gathered together. Even if they were Judges, in the face of the demon race, they were still somewhat inadequate.

If she had seen such a lineup before, Liana would probably have been too nervous to speak clearly. But now, she was terrifyingly calm.

“I assume I don’t need to introduce myself?” Liana randomly found a seat and sat down. “If you have any questions, just ask. I’m in a hurry.”

Liana didn’t want to waste too much time here. She still had to go back and check on Erinna’s condition.

Besides, Liana felt that she had nothing to say to these old farts.1老登 (lǎodēng), a popular Chinese derogatory term for old people.

“Liana, it seems you haven’t changed as much as the rumors say. You are still as arrogant as before, not taking others seriously,” someone said at this moment.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.” Liana simply stood up. “My sister is injured, and I have to go back and take care of her. My time is not for you to waste by asking questions here and there. Even though I’ve made it so obvious, some people are still unwilling to let go of their haughty attitude, insisting that their seniority and status are superior, and pointing fingers at others’ affairs.”

Liana gave these old things no quarter at all. “The demons has reappeared. At a time like this, you still want to lecture a junior first? Don’t you find that laughable? Oh, that’s right. For you who are so high and mighty, how could anyone ever say such things to you?”

As Liana was walking out, she felt a pressure on her.

But as Minoga stood by her side, the burden on her lightened considerably. “See? Even after I’ve said it, it’s still like this.”

“You’re old enough to know better. Bullying a junior, have you no shame? Liana just fought a life-or-death battle with a demon, and her sister was injured because of it. It’s already good enough that she’s willing to come and explain the situation at the first opportunity. And you still want to make things difficult for her?” Mephilia spoke up at this moment.

“Mephilia, you have no place to speak here either. You gave up your status as an heir, for an outsider. Do you have any sense of responsibility at all? Oh, no, that’s not right. Your relationship shouldn’t be that of outsiders,” the Lord of Darriss Territory said at this moment.

He had a deep conflict with Mephilia and would surely take this opportunity to kick her while she was down.

“A dog without a home,” Mephilia said, just four words, which made the Lord of Darriss stand up, his defenses broken.

“Enough!” the King of Lisat reprimanded. “If there is anyone else who is unclear about the purpose of this meeting, then leave this place. Leave the Lisat Kingdom.”

The Lord of Darriss sat down, but his dark gaze spoke of his displeasure.

“Liana, I know you also came here to explain the matter of the demon race clearly. The demonkind is our common enemy. So, can you not concern yourself with the words of Lord Darriss?” the King of Lisat said.

Liana played with the magic core in her hand. “I am very grateful to you, Your Majesty, for speaking up for me. But some words do not need to be said by you. The person who needs to say them is someone else.”

Liana’s meaning was also very clear. The Lord of Darriss had to give an explanation for his discourtesy today. She was deliberately targeting him.
