The reincarnated devil was blessed by the goddess

It seems that I must get a suitable weapon. The power of this conjured kunai seems to be a little lacking.

Hmm? I seem to vaguely remember that I had the ability to transform into a long stick?

Theresa carefully put the three pairs of horns into the backpack behind her, planning to return later when the sun was not so scorching.

After all, this is the hottest time of the day, and even the wind blowing on your face brings rolling heat waves, as if it is going to melt people.

The clothes Theresa was wearing were already soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to her skin, making her feel a little stuffy and uncomfortable, and having difficulty breathing.

So she walked to the shade cast by a big tree by the roadside and leaned against the trunk to rest and cool off.

July is hot and the heat is unbearable.

Theresa muttered to herself that it must be July now, while wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead. No wonder the weather was so hot, after all, it was the middle of summer.

She reached into her backpack and fished out her small water bottle. Impatiently unscrewing the lid, she tilted her head back and drank. The clear, sweet liquid moistened her throat like a refreshing rain after a long drought.

After catching her breath a little, Theresa leaned comfortably against a tree, ready to take a nap.

She was just about to take a short rest, but suddenly she saw a girl being chased.

Theresa half-opened one eye and observed carefully. She saw that the person chasing the girl was wearing armor. He must be a knight.

Generally speaking, it is not uncommon for knights to chase people, most of the time it is because the person in front has made a mistake.

Seeing the girl about to run behind the tree she was leaning against, Theresa wondered if she should lend a hand to the knight. She might even get a reward for her kindness.

Just as Theresa was about to stand up and stop the girl, something unexpected happened.

As soon as the girl's eyes met Theresa's, she ran towards her as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, shouting, "Sunflower Sister!"

Um? who?

Theresa became alert and turned around to check, but she didn't see any figure behind her.

However, just as she relaxed her guard and was about to turn around, a figure suddenly pounced on her like lightning, catching her off guard.

Theresa was thrown to the ground with a muffled thud. It happened so suddenly that she had no time to react. She felt a sharp pain in her back as she fell squarely onto the hard horns.

Grass!

Theresa endured the pain, struggled to get up from the ground, and subconsciously rubbed her injured back.

Only then did she notice that a knight had come before her, and the girl who had been chased just now was hiding behind her in panic, looking at her eagerly.

Why don't you run away? What's going on now? What should I do?

The knight held the long sword at his waist and said solemnly and seriously, "My lady, please do not hinder me from arresting the criminals. If you are not in cahoots with them, please leave this place immediately, otherwise don't blame me for enforcing the law impartially!"

Upon hearing this, Theresa hurriedly waved her hands and fumbled in her pocket to take out the card she had just processed today. She didn't care whether it was useful or not. The most important thing was to prove her identity first.

The knight examined the card and nodded slightly in approval. Judging from the adventurer's sincere attitude, he certainly had no connection with the girl.

He then stepped around Theresa and walked straight to the girl, demanding righteously, "Please return the ore you stole. These are public property. How can we allow private individuals to steal them at will? If you don't, you will face a severe interrogation!"

"What do you mean I stole it?! This ore was clearly given to me by the old man next to me because he saw me helping him! Humph, I think you're just using your knight status to bully the common people and steal my things... Ugh..."

Before the girl could finish her rebuttal, Theresa quickly covered her mouth to prevent further trouble.

Don't say that carelessly, kid.

Once you say this, it will put the knight in a very difficult situation.

Theresa forced a friendly smile and hurriedly pulled the little girl behind her.

Who does this little girl think I am? If she keeps talking, she might even get implicated.

"Excuse me, what exactly happened here?" Theresa picked up a pen, quickly wrote this sentence on the notebook, and then respectfully handed the notebook to the knight.

The knight glanced down at the note and instantly realized that this beautiful adventurer might have some language communication problems.

After all, as a knight, his job is to help the general public solve their problems, so his attitude is no longer as serious and reserved as before.

"Miss Adventurer, this is what happened. This little girl stole the ore we worked so hard to mine..."

"What? Stealing? You're clearly talking nonsense. It was clearly given to me by someone out of kindness!"

"Shh!" Theresa quickly turned her head and waved at the girl, signaling her not to make any sound.

"You may not know this, but the mines here are actually developed by the Church in collaboration with other forces. However, our bishop is very kind and generous, often donating some of the ore to the poor to help them live a little better. This can be considered a kind act."

"It's just that the guys we work with are only interested in money and have no regard for humanity. They certainly wouldn't openly confront the bishop about this, so this trouble falls on us."

Ah, Theresa could understand that very well.

After all, he was worried that the price of the ore would drop after entering the circulation market. He was too embarrassed to blame his superiors for reporting this situation, so he let his subordinates play the role of the villain.

"Are you a Church Knight?" These words were clearly displayed on the note.

"Indeed, to ensure a smooth transition, I sought out other minerals." The knight clutched the dazzling stone tightly and added, "I spoke so seriously and formally earlier because I wanted to convey to others that our church is not perfunctory or casual in its conduct."

Well, this makes things much easier. Then Theresa wrote on the paper and handed it to the knight.
