Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

Suddenly, Darkness shuddered.

She rubbed her arms and got goose bumps unconsciously. For some reason, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a lot.

"The marriage your father arranged for you?"

"No, my father won't force me."

Darkness shook her head, a hint of warmth appearing on her face.

"I lost my mother when I was young, and my father was often busy with state affairs. He always felt very guilty about me, thinking he didn't give me a happy childhood. Although he always arranged blind dates for me, hoping to find me a reliable home, he gave up after the incident with the Demon King a while ago. Since then, he has been living freely with me."

Jiang Li also found it unlikely. When Darkness was suppressed by the Demon King, it was her father who risked his life and went to the Little Demon King's Castle to rescue her.

Such a father is unlikely to arrange a marriage on his own initiative.

"So?"

“…My father has a health problem.”

Darkness scratched her long golden hair, her expression looking extremely irritated.

"He used to be in good health, but lately he's been bedridden for some reason. The doctors can't find anything wrong. He must be reaching his limit..."

"What about the possibility of a curse?"

Jiang Li asked, without a trace of impatience in his expression.

"I've asked the bishop of the Alice Church to take a look, and he said it couldn't be a curse."

"Is he too bad?"

"Be careful with your wording. He's the most powerful priest in the world! Aside from the gods, no one is better at removing curses than him."

Darkness looked at him speechlessly. She knew he was powerful, but she shouldn’t look down on everyone in the world.

Jiang Li didn't care and just continued to ask.

"Then someone came to you and offered you a deal, saying he could restore your father's health, but the condition was that you marry him?"

"Uh, how do you know?"

"That's no need to guess."

Jiang Li curled his lips.

Just by hearing the beginning, he had already guessed the ending.

Half of the ten Minotaur books have this kind of plot!

"Take me to see your father."

"This……"

"Is there any difficulty?"

"You can see my father, but I hope you won't mention this in front of him."

Darkness hesitated, but still agreed to his request.

"I never told my father about this because I didn't want to worry him."

It turned out to be the case.

No matter who the man is, if he knows that his daughter is going to marry a man she doesn't like for his sake, he will definitely suffer from complications such as myocardial infarction and hypertension.

He is still bedridden now. If he finds out about Darkness, he might die on the spot.

Darkness stuck her head out and saw that there was no one in the corridor, so she called Jiang Li out and took him deeper into the mansion. When she met someone, she just told them she was meeting a friend.

"right here."

She opened the door carefully and waved behind her.

Jiang Li walked into the room and saw the old man lying on the bed. He had his eyes closed, his breathing was weak, his face was pale, and the muscles in his limbs and body were atrophied like a patient who had not exercised for a long time.

He had seen this person before, more than a month ago when the other party came to Demon King City to rescue someone.

But at that time he looked only in his forties or fifties, still very young, and he was in good spirits even after not sleeping all night. But now he looks haggard like a man in his seventies or eighties.

"How is it? Can you tell anything? Is it a curse?"

"Um……"

Facing Darkness's eyes full of expectation, Jiang Li pondered for a moment, looked at her carefully for a while, and then raised his head seriously.

"I can't see it!"

"Then what the hell are you looking at?"

Darkness couldn’t help but roar, but when she saw her father groan and show signs of waking from his slumber, she quickly lowered her voice.

Jiang Li rolled his eyes.

He was not good at magic or sorcery, and was even more of a layman in spells. Even professional priests couldn't see it, so how could he spot something strange at a glance?

A real curse will never emit black gas like in movies and animations, allowing you to see it at a glance!

"Although I can't see a curse, I can see that your father's health has declined abnormally. His organs simply don't have the vitality of someone his age. Even if it's not a curse, it must be something that seems to be there!"

It should be said that there is an 80 to 90 percent chance that it is a curse!

However, Jiang Li did not have any means to remove the curse, and the feather robe that could prevent all abnormal interference was returned to Aqua. The curry stick was not a limited artifact and could not be used by unqualified people. His invincible sword could certainly remove the curse, but it would also kill her father with one blow.

After all, if this really is a curse that even the world's most powerful priest cannot remove, then all existing means are probably useless.

“Darkness, who is the one who made the offer to you?”

When Jiang Li thought of this, he suddenly understood.

A curse that even the world's most powerful priests cannot see. There are not many people in this world who can cast such a powerful curse!

Combined with what Chris said a few days ago, Jiang Li had a vague guess in his mind.

"Alderp."

Darkness uttered the name with a gloomy expression.

"That lord of Axel, Alderp, who bullies men and women, commits all kinds of evil, and has a terrible reputation, yet no evidence can be found to expose him, and he remains at large to this day!"

"It sure is him!"

Jiang Li's face was full of surprise.

Of course, the only ones who can be stronger than the strongest in the world are characters from outside the world, that is, gods and demons!

And it must be the top existence among them. Only such existence has such ability.

From the very beginning, there were only a few people who could cast a curse on Darkness's father!

And now, it's a done deal!

"Did you guess it was him?"

Darkness looked at him in surprise.

"Well, there's something recently that's connected to him. I just found out that he has a pretty good trump card in his hand!"

Jiang Li nodded seriously while comforting Darkness.

"Don't worry about this matter. I will find someone to handle it. Just relax and wait."

"Um……"

Darkness was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.

If possible, she certainly didn't want to marry Alderp. In fact, she had long wanted to send Alderp to jail!

The Dustinis family was the kingdom's golden sword, one of the kingdom's most loyal subjects and great nobles. The only family that could be compared to them was the Senfornia family. However, the patriarch of such a family, her father, lived in a novice town like Axel instead of in the royal capital. There was a reason for this.

All this happened because of Alderp.

Alderp had committed many illegal things in the territory, just as she said, bullying men and women, doing all kinds of evil. That was not just a statement made in anger, but a true statement. But no matter what crime he committed, no matter how hard they looked for it, they could not find even a single piece of evidence to put him in jail!

In order to bring him to justice, her father was entrusted with an important task by the king and moved to Axel in order to find evidence of Alderp's crime up close.

However, even her father, the kingdom's chief of staff, spent several years trying to find the answer but still found nothing, allowing Alderp to remain at large to this day.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen at this time.

Even her father was targeted. Darkness wanted to kill Alderp as soon as possible!

"But, it's not that simple..."

Darkness thought to herself.

The bishop of the Alice Church is already the highest-ranking priest, but even he cannot remove the curse... Unless he finds the goddess herself, there is no hope of survival!

No matter how powerful he is, can he find the goddess herself?

impossible.

"If only Aqua was a real goddess."

But how is it possible?

Darkness shook her head, dismissing the ridiculous thought.

That kind of idiotic energy has nothing to do with the sacred and holy goddess.

After leaving the ward, Jiang Li asked Darkness.

"When does the wedding start?"

"tomorrow."

"So fast?"

"That guy is an impatient person."

Darkness said with disgust.

Moreover, she had been back for several days and had been playing nice with Alderp for several days. She wanted to find a way to rescue her father during this period, but in the end she found no way.

"Okay, I'm going to go find someone."

Jiang Li turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a moment……!"

Darkness instinctively stepped forward and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"what happened?"

"No, um... can you stay over tonight?"

Darkness's eyes moved back and forth, glancing at him once and then quickly looking away. There was a strong charm in the corners of her eyes, and her cheeks were flushed.

She mustered up an extraordinary amount of courage and extended him an invitation that would probably only come once in her life.

"This time for sure!"

Jiang Li nodded firmly.

night.

After running around outside for a long time, Jiang Li returned to Dustinis's mansion and slipped into Darkness's room without anyone noticing.

The room was pitch black, not even a kerosene lamp was lit. There was only a small bulge in the middle of the big bed.

Jiang Li lifted a corner of the quilt and slipped into bed.

I scooped it up as usual, and it was smooth.

Before he could say anything in surprise, Darkness moved over and lay in his arms.

"The wedding is tomorrow. I don't know how far things will go tomorrow, but I don't want this innocent body to be defiled by that fat pig... So, take me!"

As she said this, the daughter of a noble family took the initiative to offer her lips.

Jiang Li could feel that the delicate body in his arms was trembling. Whether it was out of anticipation or fear, Jiang Li felt that it was his responsibility to comfort her.
