The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 302: It is very difficult to control the force of passing through an ant without stepping on it to death

The banquet is over.

Zun Zun refused Claire's request for accommodation and left the castle under Claire's strange look, saying that he was worried about Sato Kazuma's safety.

Did that guy think that he couldn't wait to go back and wanted to do something extraordinary?

Although it is true to say so.

But there are still some small differences.

As night fell in the royal capital, Zun Zun and Chris were heading towards the palace.

If we want to sneak into the palace, tonight is the best opportunity. Because of the overwhelming victory over the Demon King's army, people's vigilance will be particularly low on such a day.

In addition, there is also the relationship that Zun Zun sent a notice letter.

"I say, Zun Zun."

Chris stood at the foot of the city wall and said timidly, "Do we really have to force our way in? I feel a little uneasy."

"What are you talking about, Chris." Zun Zun crossed his arms and said, "Didn't we agree that you should listen to me this time? Besides, I have taken your feelings into consideration and didn't steal the necklace at the venue."

"That's not stealing, that's robbing!"

Originally, Zun Zun planned to make an eye-catching appearance at the climax of the banquet, and then elegantly take away the necklace Alice was wearing around her neck in the chaos.

But Chris refused to agree.

"Listen carefully, our Lord. We are thieves, not robbers. We will never do such a thing. And if we snatch the princess's necklace in public, we will be wanted by the kingdom!"

"Will we not be wanted if we do this?"

"These are two different things!"

She was a little too radical.

Zun Zun didn't think that he would really be wanted or anything. After all, this was an entertainment activity within the thieves' gang, and with Alice's help, he probably wouldn't have any worries.

But Chris was too timid.

"I can't help it. I'll just bear with it and go steal openly."

"Listen, are you speaking human language?"

Chris rolled her eyes.

"By the way, Zun Zun, why can't I see your face clearly? Did you use some magic?"

"Yes, a little trick for cognitive impairment."

The little tricks used by Yin elves can block the detection and search of others, which is quite effective in hiding one's identity.

Chris physically covered her entire face with a black cloth, and with the ordinary black nightgown she wore, she looked like an assistant when standing next to Zun Zun, who was wearing a gorgeous white suit.

“Boss…”

"You are the boss this time."

Perhaps because she lost the game of rock-paper-scissors, she gave up the initiative. I don't know whether she didn't want to be noticed or she thought Zun Zun was very familiar with the palace, but Chris said she would follow Zun Zun's lead.

"Okay, in that case, then just follow my expression."

“…I can’t see your face.”

The two men avoided the main gate guarded by guards and went around to the city wall of the royal city.

"Then the first hurdle is..."

Chris looked at the three-story-high wall and signaled with her eyes for Zun Zun to take her up. So Zun Zun put his hand on her slender waist, and then... he walked on the wall step by step as if he was carrying a sack.

"Shouldn't we give it a princess hug at this time?"

"Please forgive me for declining this. I have no desire for a 'boy' who has no ups and downs."

Zun Zun casually responded to the somewhat angry Chris, with his hand on his forehead looking at the royal city.

It was about 1 or 2 in the middle of the night. The lights in the rooms of the royal city were off and there was no sound at all.

"There's nothing unusual in the royal city? How strange."

"What's wrong? Isn't it good that there's nothing unusual?"

Facing Chris's inquiring eyes, Zun Zun looked around and explained the reason to her.

"I sent a warning letter first. You know, if a letter appeared quietly in Her Royal Highness's room, even if there were no heavy guards, there should be patrolling guards. However, the entire royal city is silent. It might be a trap."

"A trap? Then let's forget about it tonight. As for the necklace, we can come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to get it, right?"

Chris was scared.

If she, a mere thief, was besieged by numerous level 30 guards, even the incarnation of the goddess would have difficulty escaping.

"What a joke."

Zun Zun rolled his eyes, "I have issued a warning letter. Running away at this time will damage the reputation of the Heart Thieves Group!"

"Then I'll quit this gang of thieves."

Chris said something even more ridiculous. She was the initiator of the thieves' group, so why would she quit the group at this time?

In the end, the two of them sneaked into the palace.

Leading to the palace through the atrium, Chris opened the door lock easily, almost too smoothly.

The two continued to move forward in the dark.

So far, they haven't seen any soldiers patrolling the city, which can be attributed to luck, but it is more likely that there will be a bigger trap waiting for them.

"Boss, I want to go to the treasure house first."

"why?"

"Didn't I tell you before that two artifacts have been lost in the capital? The one that can control monsters might also be in this castle."

"No, that artifact is not here."

Under Chris's strange gaze, Zun Zun shook his head and said, "I've been there today."

Then he told Chris that he was rewarded with the opportunity to choose an item from the treasure house for defeating the Demon King's army.

She seemed very interested in this matter.

"So, what did you take?" "Little Huangshu."

"Ok?"

"Didn't I make it clear? It's Xiao Huangshu."

No, no.

It's not that my pronunciation is unclear, but I find it quite unbelievable that I chose Xiao Huang's book.

"You really don't understand, Chris. Although divine weapons are very powerful, they are almost everywhere in this world. Moreover, divine weapons that do not belong to you cannot exert even one tenth of their original effects. Besides, in terms of rarity, Xiao Huangshu is obviously more rare, right?"

Huh, huh?

Chris was a little confused.

Although I know something is wrong, I can't find any reason to refute it and can only think that it is a fallacy.

Come to the second floor.

The deep, dark corridor without any light gave off a faint sense of danger.

This is a long and wide corridor.

There is such a main corridor on every floor of the royal city, connecting the rooms on the floor and leading to the floors above and below... At the same time, it is also the only way to Alice's room.

"Boss."

"Ah, I know."

Signaling to Chris that it was okay, Zun Zun raised the corners of his mouth and walked slowly in the dark corridor. When he was halfway there——

Swish!
The light emitted by the magic stone lamp instantly illuminated the entire corridor, and noisy footsteps came from all directions. In the blink of an eye, Zun Zun and Chris were surrounded by a group of people.

"Tsk."

Chris was shocked. It was indeed a trap.

"Surrender your hands, invader! If you don't resist, I can spare your lives!"

Claire walked out from the crowd, with a smug and arrogant look on her face, like a nobleman making a majestic judgment on the lowest criminal.

No, now they are the criminals.

"I've really been underestimated. Did you send this notice letter?"

Claire pulled out a letter from her bosom.

"After the sword of Damocles falls, we will celebrate the end of the blue and white moon; that's the time, which is now.

I will descend on the most romantic castle spire and come to visit the noblest smile; I am talking about the location, which is the bedroom of Her Highness Alice.

And the last sentence... This is a date between two bodies, please allow me to steal your heart... You dare to express your love to Lady Alice, you are unforgivable!"

"That's not it!"

I thought she solved the puzzle and Zun Zun was quite happy, but was it really a misunderstanding in the end?

But what Zun Zun said was a bit too obscure.

Finally, the items.

A necklace that allows you to swap bodies.

Time, place, objects, this preview letter was clearly Zun Zun's masterpiece, but in the end it was explained with such distorted facts.

Zun Zun glanced around casually and found that there was no magician present except Rain.

"You guessed our purpose and set up an ambush in advance, intending to use the human wave tactic... But it's so strange, you clearly knew we would come, but you didn't have any powerful adventurers guarding here?"

"I don't need a strong adventurer to deal with you!"

"I see. It's arrogance."

"You are the ones who are so arrogant! Breaking into the palace at night and sending a warning letter in advance... You will definitely get the punishment you deserve!"

Under Claire's command, the knights, with their swords drawn, approached little by little, with expressions of confidence on their faces.

With so many people besieging them, even the most powerful person would not be able to escape. It was obvious that the winner had been decided.

Zun Zun sighed.

"Please give way."

"Ah!? Do you think we will obediently move aside if you say that? You two invaders! If you want to surrender, do it now. You may still have a chance to save your life! All right, just surrender obediently..."

The leading knight said this, but was soon frightened by two terrifying red lights appearing on Zun Zun's blurry face.

"You made a mistake."

"...W-What?"

"Remember this is not a request, it's—"

Zun Zun slowly took a step forward.

"Order."

In an instant, countless guards and knights fell to the ground like cut wheat, groaning in pain.

"No, it's impossible..."

"how come?"

“It’s so uncomfortable!”

They covered their chests and heads, as if they were in an abnormal state. No matter how they struggled, they could only roll and crawl on the ground.

Claire and Rain obviously wanted to do something, but like everyone else, they fell to the ground with painful looks on their faces and couldn't get up again.

Characteristics of elves.

When connected to elves, various negative conditions will occur, and even people with a very high degree of compatibility with the elves cannot be immune.

This was the same ability that caused Julius to accidentally cause Natsuki Subaru to suffer from the symptoms of spirit disorder.

Seeing Claire struggling to get up with a ferocious face, Zun Zun said softly: "Please lie down on the ground honestly. After all... it is very difficult to control the force when passing over an ant without stepping on it to death."

Then he walked past her leisurely.
