Power Field (2)

In the second semester of the second year, students of the Royal Military School of Nantes will conduct a group practical test, which is a field internship.

The 836th Magic and Knight classes were divided into four groups to go to the North, West, South, and East for practical tests. The test results were decided by the team leader. The students in the general classes were ordinary internships and did not participate in practical combat. They mainly did research projects, observations, and wrote reports.

Prior to this, the eldest princess invited the two to attend the Autumn Banquet.

This was a social dinner for the border lords who were returning to the capital, and it was also the social debut ball for the tenth princess, Christine.

Inger's dancing skills hadn't improved at all, but he changed into a pair of more durable shoes.

Norihua smiled and said, "I think I should buy a good pair of shoes...ah, don't move, look up."

Inger raised his chin slightly, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Noliwa was putting makeup on him to show that he had just recovered from a serious illness.

As he ran around, his complexion became better and better, and he didn't look like a patient who had been staying at home for several months at all.

After finishing her makeup, Nolihua became his dance partner and followed the family in a carriage into the palace.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Alex, who was dressed in gold and jade, and was blinded again.

There were also many people in the hall who stole glances at the Ninth Prince from time to time, and their whispers were drowned out by the sound of the music and the noise.

As expected of the protagonist, she is extremely beautiful.

Alex was originally leaning to one side with an expressionless face, quietly sipping wine. When he heard the Neka family's name being called, he looked up reflexively, hiding his joy for a second and suppressing the urge to raise his hand to greet him.

[If this guy had a dog's tail, he would probably be spinning like a bamboo dragonfly by now.]

Inger and Noriha chatted for a while, then they slid onto the dance floor.

"Wow, after not seeing you for a few months, your dancing skills have improved." Noriha teased.

"You gave me good guidance," Inger said truthfully.

Originally, it was his female partner who was dancing with him, but there was a big difference in their abilities. Nolihua, with her superb skills, brought him back on track.

"——The first princess, Her Highness Aura——The tenth princess——Her Highness Christine!"

Aura, wearing a gorgeous white and gold prince costume, and Christine, wearing a gold and powder long dress, walked down the stairs hand in hand.

"The protagonist appears." Noriha chuckled.

Everyone who was still guessing which young man Christine would choose as his dance partner fell silent.

This is both unexpected and reasonable.

The two princesses walked hand in hand onto the main dance floor, in the center of everyone's realization.

Ora was more handsome than most of the young men present, and a gentle smile appeared on her face, which was rare.

Christine's childish face showed the innocence that one should have at this age, and her eyes and eyebrows spoke of happiness.

They spun a few beats and the others started over.

Inger was about to say goodbye to Norihua when he suddenly felt a gaze.

Alex pretended to look away.

"The Ninth Prince has no dance partner?" Inger was puzzled by his gaze.

Noriha whispered to him, "A lot of girls came over to talk to me just now, but they all walked away disappointed."

[Although... in this comic, he does not have a partner... but he can't possibly not even want a dance partner, right? ]

Norihua poked his shoulder and said, "Look at the Tenth Princess, she dances better than you!"

Inger said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you go and dance with the Ninth Prince. I have something to go over there..."

Noriha followed the direction of his finger and saw Uri Stella.

After dressing up, she stood out among the handsome men and beautiful women at the ball, and the bluebird lines at the corners of her eyes were emerald green.

He waved to Inger with bright eyes.

Norihua pursed her lips and said, "I also have a lot of important things to discuss. Please remember to spare some time for me later."

"Okay, okay."

Inger ran off.

Norihua knew that she was likely to be rejected by the Ninth Prince, so she just walked over and asked, "Prince Neka saw that you were alone, so he asked me to come."

Alex's eyes stayed on his elder and younger sisters, and he asked abruptly, "Don't you think it's weird for two men to dance a couple's dance?"

Noriha's expression suddenly became extremely strange.

Uri and Inger haven't seen each other for a long time.

As soon as Inger came back, he was busy dealing with business with Alex and hardly went to school. Uri posted several messages but they were all ignored.

"Goddess, busy man, I finally see you!"

"What is it?"

Wu Rui didn't waste any more words. He pulled Inger to the terrace and took out an envelope from his arms.

Inger opened it and saw a line of words written in crooked Churne language: Shul, no, Inger Nyka, who are you? We will meet again.

Inger got goosebumps all over his body.

"Uri, who wrote this?"

Wu Rui also looked anxious. "I saw this when Cheryl was sleeping on the table. The handwriting was obviously not hers, but it was indeed written by her... Oh, I don't know why it happened... During the time you were recuperating at home, Cheryl looked very strange for a few days... I can't explain it clearly, and my parents didn't feel it, but I know that she was like a different person..."

Inger suppressed the clamor in his heart and asked, "Why do you do this specifically? Tell me in detail, and don't leave out any details."

"She woke up one day and suddenly asked me where she could find books on learning Chuuni language. Then in the afternoon she asked me if I knew her and what her name was... I started to get suspicious. Then she laughed very strangely for a few days. She even called me brother?! Then she dragged me to walk around the street and asked me all kinds of questions. When she got home, she would hang out in the library."

"I went back to ask the maids, and they also said that Xie Li was a little strange and asked a lot of common sense questions. I originally thought that she had lost her memory, but she didn't look like she had lost her memory."

After listening to this, Inger took a breath and remained silent for a long time, his thoughts racing.

From comics, we know that there are four rules for the Puppet Demon King to possess a person:

1. If you see the person’s true appearance with your own eyes and recognize the person, you can possess him.

2. People who have been possessed before can still be possessed unconditionally even if they are far away and cannot see it with their own eyes.

3. Random possession at a long distance cannot choose the host and cannot know the host's mental state.

4. When possessed, the host will continue in the state of possession. If the host is unconscious, he will be unaware of what is done during the possession. If the host is conscious, he will witness what the possessed person does and will be powerless to stop it.

The Puppet King possessed Cheryl while she was awake and then killed Uri.

Considering his previous successes and failures in possessing Alex, this rule needs an exception.

The protagonist Alex cannot be possessed while awake.

But on the contrary, he can possess someone when he is asleep and unconscious.

Inger once again felt the horror of this demon king.

From the information just now, we can also know that although the Puppet Demon King can speak the Chune language when he is possessed, he does not recognize the Chune script. He is learning the Chune language.

And he was gathering information, too—information about himself.

Inger gritted his teeth.

[I am just a passerby, why are you interested in me? ! ]

Interest in Alex is understandable.

However, from this, it can be confirmed that this puppet demon king has indeed been reborn with memories for some reason, just like Alex.

Inger had a headache.

[Goddess, what are you doing adding golden fingers to the villain? ! ]

Of course, it is not denied that the Puppet Demon King possessed the protagonist once, and thanks to the protagonist, he returned with his memories.

In his heart, he was more inclined towards the latter, and it was an accidental mistake.

"We'll see you later."

Is he going to possess himself? Or is he going to possess someone nearby and come over to say hello to him?

【I hate horror movies! 】

Inger screamed silently in his heart and clenched the paper tightly in his hand.

Wu Rui was also panicked when he saw his expression. "Do you have any idea? I asked Xie Li later, and she said she just woke up and had no memory of what she had done in the past few days. What happened?!"

Inger said softly, "I can only tell you now that she has been bewitched by a heretical magic. You must pay more attention to her in the future. If anything unusual happens, tell me. I can cure this condition and won't let her get into danger."

Wu Rui nodded vigorously.

"I just saw them heading this way."

"Thank you."

The terrace curtains were drawn back.

The protagonist of the debut party, Christine, appears.

"I heard you were here? Sorry to interrupt your conversation."

Inger shook his head: "Our conversation is over."

Uri bowed to Christine and returned to the hall.

Christine twisted a finger around the short silver hair near her ear and curled it twice, looking thoughtfully at Uri Stella as she went back with an unpleasant look on her face.

Inger smiled at Christine and said, "Do you like the snails on the beach?"

Christine pouted: "You don't want to use this as my debut gift, do you?"

Inger laughed and said, "How could that be? Our family should have sent a lot. Is Your Highness not satisfied?"

Christine's smile softened: "Just kidding, you've already given me the best gift."

Then her expression turned solemn: "I came here to ask about the oracle that His Holiness the Pope mentioned. My sister said that His Holiness only told you."

"...Then Her Holiness must have her own considerations. This matter will not be kept secret for long. Don't worry."

Christine didn't expect an answer from him. She approached Inger, who bowed politely.

Christine leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Be careful during the fall practical test."

"...about my prophecy?" Inger said to himself.

Christine smiled sweetly: "But I am relieved because the result is always good. I don't know why, but the prophecies about you are always good news. Maybe I did it for no reason."

After she finished speaking, she returned to Ola with her skirt lifted, leaving a slightly sad and compassionate look.

[Mystery teller?]

But this time he was also convinced of another thing.

[The prophecy’s deadline is not three days, but at least one month.]

Having Christine on your side is a very powerful weapon.
