How should I survive in a different world as a reincarnated villain?

"Well...that's exactly what I said."

The disadvantage of not being able to see the face was immediately manifested, and nothing could be heard by just listening to the voice. Fortunately, the subsequent situation is developing in a positive direction.

perhaps.

"But my dear Brave Lord, without a weapon, how are you going to defeat the Demon King?"

He didn't seem surprised, and quite naturally accepted that I was a hero.

"I don't need a staff to use magic." I tried to stay calm and replied, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Excellent!" The man praised in a very exaggerated tone, did not answer my question, and applauded while speaking, "But without the holy sword, you can't defeat the devil with magic alone."

"Holy sword?" I was attracted by this not unfamiliar term, "What holy sword?"

According to the general routine, the brave will get the holy sword through various channels, it may be given at the beginning, or it may be a reward for passing the level, but so far I have not found any traces of the holy sword in this world.

Besides, those brave men who have obtained the holy sword are all melee professions. Both me and Maria are long-range output from the magic system. Even if you give me the holy sword now, I will not use it if I have never learned swordsmanship. It's too perfunctory to wave it around a few times.

"You do not know?"

His voice sounded a bit strange, and then he seemed to remember something, and said again: "Did you hide the holy sword?"

"broken."

Hearing Mr.'s voice, I realized that the previous sentence was not talking to me.

"Such a brittle thing, you call it a holy sword?"

The gentleman smiled mockingly, and looked past me to the man behind me.

"Huh?" The man choked, completely unaware of this development, and his voice broke briefly, "When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

I don't know either, but sir, you can't lie, it must have happened a long time ago, because the holy sword has been gone for too long, so I never heard of it.

Without the gentleman saying anything, the man found the remains of the holy sword by his own means.

Seeing the broken but still sharp sword blade and hilt flying towards me in two pieces, for a moment I thought I was going to confess here.

In desperation, I broke free from the invisible shackles and dodged aside when the 'Holy Sword' was approaching.

"It really broke?"

The blond man ignored me, he looked down at the wreckage of the holy sword in his hand, frowned, and muttered softly.

"No, I clearly remember that there are more durable ones..."

He put his palm on Broken Blade, and in the next second, a familiar white ball of light lit up in my sight.

It's an identification technique, but since I'm not a user, I can't see a firm result.

The white light lasted for a long time, and the blond man seemed to have encountered a problem. There was no movement for a long time, so I looked at the unusually quiet gentleman over there.

Unexpected and expected, Mr. was looking at me before I looked over, and when I turned my head, I met those red eyes that looked so dangerous, and the sentence "You are so brave" in his eyes.

"..."

Feel like fucked up.

The belated desire to survive made me quickly stand upright, and I was about to raise my hands to surrender, but I could still hear the blond man talking to himself, and the reason that was about to fly away immediately returned.

Before the crisis is over, I dare not and cannot act rashly, even if it will make my husband very angry.

I pretended not to understand Mr.'s eyes, and looked away calmly.

Then retreat decisively.

That's right, I ran away very cowardly, but it was better than standing there awkwardly when I was supposed to start a fight. The longer I stayed there, the more likely I would reveal my identity.

To take a step back, if my identity had been exposed long ago, and that person was cooperating with me in acting, then now is the best chance to escape. Without me being in the way of the hostage, the husband will be less restrained in his actions.

But I was really worried about leaving like this, so after jumping more than ten meters away, I found a chance to leave a magic that could play an eavesdropping effect on a tree.

This is also what I learned from the castle's collection of books. I have to say that it is really practical. As long as the imprint I left is not erased, I can keep my 'ears' there and hear nearby voices, including Mr. and others voice.

"Don't you need to catch up? Everyone has run away."

"..."

"Forget it, forget it, I just saw that you let people go on purpose, I don't know you, you can even soften your heart towards the enemy, I really don't know how you got the position of the devil king, and no one took the position. "

The gentleman who had been silent all this time spoke.

"How did I become the Demon King, don't you know?"

"I know... Wait, I said you are not blaming me, are you? Hey, what's the matter with you man, isn't immortality good?"

"I never made a choice."

"Well, even if you didn't choose it in the first place, you still got the benefits. Now it's too hypocritical to say that you don't want it. Isn't it good for you to get cheap?"

"Being forced to take on a responsibility that didn't belong to me, and being exiled and slandered, all the creatures on the mainland want me to die. If you like this kind of eternal life, I can give it to you."

"It's meaningless for you to say that. Even if they all want you to die, they can't do it. Just think about it and you won't allow it."

The husband seemed to be speechless by his shameless words, and he didn't answer for a long time.

"Hey, I said you, you just don't know how to have fun, otherwise you wouldn't be chattering here, you said you have nothing, your appearance and strength will live forever... There are many people who hate you, but there are also many people who like you , you don’t want these things that other people dream of, so what do you want?”

"I said, I don't want anything."

The originally patient blond man laughed angrily.

"I don't want anything... Oh, you don't want anything. What did you come to me for? You asked for me. I don't believe that you don't know what will happen. You said it yourself, as long as I help you , you are willing to pay any price."

"..."

"And the price is not that you are at a disadvantage. I don't understand it. Isn't it just to let you pick a few people from different worlds to join the game, without losing your interests and increasing your reputation? What's so good about you? happy?"

What does it mean to pick a few people from different worlds?

My head was buzzing, and the words I just heard seemed to be echoing in my ears. I was so surprised that I almost tripped over the tree roots under my feet and fell to the ground.

"...But I regret it."

"kindness?"

"..."

"Hey, don't stop talking halfway, what do you regret?"

No matter how much the blond man asked, the husband didn't say a word.

It didn't take long for the man's voice to fade away. I rubbed my face hard and left the place.

It was only because I was too shocked that I didn't pay attention to where I was going, so I just rushed forward until someone appeared nearby and called out my name accurately, and then I realized something was wrong.

"Who is na——El?!"

Looking at the group headed by Irene who suddenly appeared in front of me, I stood in the middle of the bushes and was in a dilemma.

"Eir, why are you here?"

Irene didn't seem to know the inside story, and she was more happy than surprised to see me, and trotted towards me after recovering.

I moved the corner of my mouth and pulled out an awkward smile. As soon as I reached my mouth, someone interrupted me.

"Agnes Cecil! You really got mixed up with the demons!"

That voice full of unbelievable rage made my heart skip a beat, and when I looked up, I saw the second princess Cecilia, who had been aliased as Daphne, waiting for me with wide-eyed eyes.

"Could it be that what they said is true... Are you really a spy sent by the demons?!"

"...Your Highness Cecilia."

My memory seems to be getting worse lately, which is not a good sign.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, but I couldn't find a reason to argue for myself for a while.

After all, I really thought about defecting to the camp of the demons, and now I am doing so, saying that I am a spy... It seems that there is nothing wrong.

I lowered my eyes slightly, and didn't intend to explain the misunderstanding clearly. Facing Irene's confused eyes, I just smiled slightly.

"Long time no see."

Cecilia's lips were tightly pursed, and she looked at me with extremely complicated eyes. After a long mental struggle, she raised her wand at me.

"Where is Maria?"

My smile remained the same, but there was still some emotion in my heart.

I finally figured out why 'Daphne' treated me so badly back then. If it was an 'old acquaintance' who didn't know my real identity, it wouldn't be surprising that she would hate me after that trial.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Don't play dumb! Where did you take Maria?"

Cecilia's eyes became sharper and sharper, and her hand holding the wand became stronger and stronger, as if she was about to attack at any time.

"I really don't know what you're talking about." I said helplessly, "I haven't met Miss Maria, I haven't done anything, and I don't know where she is. It's the truth."

To my surprise, after hearing my words, Cecilia hesitated, and her eyes were a little more struggling.

"It's really important, if you know where Maria is—"

"What nonsense are you talking to her? Who else would target Maria like this besides her!"

A male voice full of hostility interrupted Cecilia's words. I looked up, and unexpectedly saw Augustus's murderous eyes that seemed to be poisoned.

So this is the standard villain's eyes, compared to him, Mr. is simply an angel.

"But I really don't know where Miss Maria is." I smiled slightly at Augustus, "We may have had some misunderstandings in the past, but please believe me, I have no malice towards Miss Maria, in fact, I am also very grateful to Miss Maria."

"Impossible! Don't think that if you say that, I will believe your nonsense!"

Not to mention August, who has a deep prejudice against me, even Cecilia, who has shown some kindness to me, obviously doesn't trust my words.

But I really didn't lie. If Maria hadn't appeared in time to captivate the eldest prince, I wouldn't be able to get rid of my status as a princess. Of course, it would be great if they settled the marriage contract more tactfully.

Other than that, I really can't think of any reason to hate Maria.

It's true that she is green tea, but as long as she doesn't get green on my head, it has nothing to do with me.
