Picked Up A Demon King To Be A Maid Chapter 214 – Don't Get Your Hat Crooked

“Hehe, Snow, you know, I really admire you. Your tongue is so venomous even now, I really don't know whether I should praise your bravery or berate your immature stupidity.”

“Neither, you should praise my cuteness! Cute, I love being called cute!” Snow pouted, not the least bit nervous.

“Cute? You are indeed a cute girl.” Anderson paused then burst into laughter, “I still remember those times, that old pervert Peterson loved you crazy, he even said something about making you a specimen and his daughter forever… you're so cute, I would also like you if I was a lolicon.”

“Hehe, I'll take it that you're flattering me!” Snow nodded her head and smugly replied.

“Sigh, you…” Anderson helplessly shook his head and started walking towards her.

This brat, how could she still laugh? Does she not realize the situation she's in?

“Snow, I don't want to bully you, but since you can't see, let me explain it to you.” Anderson held his large stomach, looked down at this cute little girl and calmly said, “This is the church's secret bas.e.m.e.nt, it can also be called a prison. We usually use it to secretly get rid of traitors or people who leak secrets, so it might smell like blood, I hope you don't mind.”

“No problem.”

“Heh.” Anderson raised his eyebrow when he saw how Snow was still able to respond calmly, and continued on, “Not just me, I still have tens of my trusted subordinates, and you just have one maid. All your subordinates have also been tied up at the camp and they have no idea what even happened.”

“I understand, so you're saying that I fell into your trap and I can't fight back so I'm now your captive, right?”

“Uh… right.”

Anderson had originally thought she would start crying, he never would have expected her to be so indifferent.

Was there something wrong with her head?

Even though there were people lying in ambush all around her, that girl still had an unperturbed expression and maintained her smile. Her maid was already scared out of her wits and couldn't even stand straight, she had to hug the ground, yet Snow wasn't in the least fl.u.s.tered.

Then it seems like…

“Snow… do you have something you want to ask me?”

“Hehe, as expected of Archbishop Anderson, you're a lot smarter than Selina. It's tiring speaking to her, it's much easier to speak with you!”

“You're right, Selina is a bit slow, but she's a loyal believer.” Anderson paused and gave Selina a look, she understood then left after bowing.

“So, Snow, what do you want to ask? If it's about the Lesser Devils, I can tell you.”

“Hehe, if that's the case, then hurry up and tell me!” Snow nodded and excitedly said, “What kind of monsters are they? Are they strong? How strong are they? Are they obedient? Hey, hurry up and tell me, okay?”

“Uh, why are you so curious… are you a kid?”

“Of course I'm a kid! I just turned 11!”

“Okay, okay, there's no harm in telling you… Lesser Devils are very strong, but complicated to make.”

To produce a Lesser Devils, other than a demonic beast as the base, they needed a lot of other expensive magic materials. In order to obtain those, Anderson spent a lot of money. In order to smuggle it to Selina, he had to go through a lot of trouble. And lastly he had to exchange information about the Lesser Devils with Shen Yue Ge to get them to help them take care of their problems.

“Shen Yue Ge's a.s.sa.s.sin… who is it?” Snow was able to grasp onto the underlying meaning of Anderson's words.

“That princess who's engaged to the prince, Shen DaiYing. Did you not know?”

“No, I didn't expect that stinking vixen to be… d.a.m.n, how dare she seduce my brother, I would have killed her if I knew…”

“Eh? What?”

“Cough… n-nothing. Archbishop Anderson, please continue, I'm listening.”

Snow could only leave the matter about Shen DaiYing for now, she could only hope that her brother doesn't get too beguiled, if he was eaten up by her and lost his virginity, she wouldn't even know what to do.

How could she hand over her brother's first time to that kind of vixen?

Of course, Snow didn't know about how Shen DaiYing was trying to seduce Lin Xiao, if she knew, she would probably explode with anger.

Thanks to Shen DaiYing, we were able to smuggle the materials successfully and now we can advance into the second stage of production. The materials of course being, human souls.” Anderson calmly said something that would make one's scalp crawl.

To produce a Lesser Devil they have to use cruel black magic to torture a human and then retrieve their soul and inject it into the demonic beast vessel, and after a series of exclusion, dissolution, and absorption, a Lesser Devil would be born.

Anderson's original plan was to secretly take his fanatical believers to Despair Island Lake to obtain the best materials, but Snow got in the way and almost messed up his plans.

Thankfully nothing happened midway trough, and the finale is turning out even better than planned!

“Snow, oh Snow, you're too clever for your own good. I originally would have had to get Selina to take the blame, but now you came right to me.”

“Blame? Oh, I see.”

She conjectured that he planned to push everything that happened onto her, since she was with Anderson the whole time and partic.i.p.ated in almost everything. Even though she just came to put him under observation, but to the outside world, she was the one behind everything. Since this cute loli Saintess had a far stronger existence than Anderson.

“An innocent Saintess on the surface, but actually a vindictive witch, Snow Witch! Ha ha, that nickname really suits you. When the Lesser Devils become public, you'll be scorned by the ma.s.ses, and I'll become the Church's hero. The model Archbishop, and Selina who would have had to be a scapegoat wouldn't have to stay in a place like this anymore and can come back to Winterless City with me! Haha!”

Anderson freely spoke of his plans, since Snow was already caught he could flaunt to his heart's delight.

“Heh, so Snow, I'm sorry for this.” After he finished speaking, Anderson waved his hands.

Initially, Snow didn't understand what Anderson meant, but understood after feeling the ice-cold sensation on her wrists, and the restraints.

“Snow, although I hate you, but you're still a child, so I wont do anything to you. As long as you stay here and wait until the compet.i.tion is over.”

“Hehe, then I really have to thank you for that… so, what is this?” She didn't know who was holding her shoulder, it hurt a bit but she didn't make a sound and instead shook the heavy cuffs on her wrists and asked curiously.

“This is a special pair of handcuffs that can suppress magic, so you won't be able to use Holy prayers… oh right, I also heard that you can use black magic, of course I don't believe that but you can't use that either.” Anderson purposely said that, like he was warning her that he already knew all along that she could use black magic.

“Un, okay, okay, the cuffs doesn't matter. Anderson, don't worry, I'm just a child, how could I possibly escape?”

Feeling the hard and heavy burden from her wrists, the originally feeble Snow's legs buckled and almost fell over, but because someone was holding onto her, she could still force herself to stand up.

“But I still don't understand, Anderson, what are you planning to do? Even if you destroy the tournament and pin it on me, what good does that do for you? You didn't go through so much effort to create the Lesser Devils just to frame me, right?”

Snow stood unsteadily and as she carried the heavy handcuffs, her tone finally contained some annoyance.

“Also, why is Selina so loyal to you? Human souls are needed, and once the soul leaves your body, you die! Those believers should know that no matter how stupid they are, but they're still willingly sacrificing themselves… you, what did you say to them? Why are they willing to sacrifice themselves for you?”

“Hehe, do you want to know?”

“I do!”

“No rush, after the plan is over and when you're being burned alive, you'll know then.”

“Tsk, cheapskate.”

Since he didn't want to reveal any more information, Snow coldly snorted and didn't bother wasting time with him.

“Take them away!” Anderson smugly ordered.

He never would have imagined he would be able to catch the arrogant Snow, he still had an unreal feeling.

It seems she wasn't all that after all, and could only use her mouth. In the end, she was still a child.

“Yes, Archbishop!”

After receiving their orders, the surrounding believers cuffed Elona and dragged the two of them into the depths of the prison.

“Hey, be more gentle! Really… Elona, is your hat crooked?” In the pitch-dark hallway, the girl's voice faintly echoed.

“Eh? It is a bit… sorry master, I, I fixed it.”

“Un, remember, no matter what, your hat can't get crooked. Elona, you're different from your aunt, the purity of your bloodline is a weakness but also a strength, don't forget that.”

“Oh… I understand, master.”

Anderson suddenly felt something off as he watched their figures fade.

Bloodline? Purity?

Now that he's thinking about it, that gray-haired maid Elona looks familiar…
