Chapter Seventy-Seven: Gathering Intelligence

The skeletal carriage ran over the stone pavement, making a loud noise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is the chaotic city of Rickel. Well, it's worthy of being one of the largest cities in the undead division, not to mention anything else, just this bustling appearance is much better than the previous town. ”

I was a little excited by the unfolding scene in front of me, and I began to talk to myself.

What you can see is a row of stone houses, just like the medieval European system but slightly different street scenes.

"Hey, you hillbillies, don't occupy the position of the teleportation array!"

At this time, a strong tiger man with a scar on his chest standing in front of us said this, judging from the sign hanging on the shoulder of his leather armor, it seemed to be the security management near this spatial teleportation array.

How can there be such a beautiful security officer, it really hurts me not to be in the mood for sightseeing.

"Well, sorry, sorry, we're leaving. ”

After apologizing, I left with the rest of the Undead Fortress.

Although the tiger man is very annoying, there is no need to be a prick, after all, our purpose is to break the seal of the nerd, and at least we need to stay in the city for a long time, so it is better to keep a low profile as much as possible.

――After leaving the area where the spatial teleportation array was placed with a few people, we walked down the street.

"Then again, it's the most racially heterogeneous city in the Undead Division. Not to mention common races such as orcs and little demons, even elves and humans will have them, how is this, the demon world and the Patrick continent are hostile forces. ”

Seeing that the elven undead not far away were bargaining with some elf roadside stall owner at the moment, I couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

This kind of picture really shouldn't appear in the demon realm where power is supreme.

"This is a condition that would never have occurred in the time of the monarch...... I didn't expect that the current undead division would accept so many guys who betrayed their forces in pursuit of power, what did Lord Raymond want to do. ”

As if he had seen something, Ah Shu said these mindless words to himself.

"Ah, yes, Mistress Felicia. Although the living environment is harsh, if you adapt to it, then for those who don't mind how good the living conditions are, the Demon Realm is indeed more suitable for the pursuit of power. ”

After hearing Ashu's self-talk, Paul didn't have any reason to echo what he didn't know.

How can even Paul do the same......

"What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing, can't you speak plainly, you make it difficult for me to do this......"

Well, wait.

Betrayal of the Patrick continent and a great power?

In this case, the meaning of the lines of Paul and Ashu is so, it is like this.

"In other words, these humans and elves were originally part of the Patrick Continent, but in order to find an environment with a higher concentration of magic power to cultivate, they betrayed the Patrick Continent and joined the Demon Realm instead. ”

――That's probably the way it is.

Because the concentration of magic elements is higher, although the external living environment is not very good, the demon world is indeed very suitable for cultivation, which is also the reason why the overall combat power of the demon world is much stronger.

It's like a 'blessed land'.

I don't seem to feel it, but maybe it's because it's weak.

It seems that if you have survived in the Demon Realm for a long time and then go to Patrick's Continent, you may suffer from [Symptoms of Decay] similar to altitude sickness, which is estimated to be one of the reference factors for the Demon Realm to wait and see for so long but not invade.

Paul's and A.S. words clearly imply this meaning.

Hearing me say this, Paul also seemed to feel something, and continued:

"That's right, Lord Eshuin. There will always be various reasons that cause some people to betray the continent, and the high concentration of magic elements in the demon world is only one of the reasons, and this is something that cannot be changed. It's just that it seems that the Undead Partition is especially willing to accept this part of the people, which is also very convenient for us to hide our identities and infiltrate the Undead Partition before. ”

"Wait, Paul, you didn't mean to assassinate me when you said about infiltrating the undead partition......

"That's it, Lord Esthein. Two months ago, His Holiness received an inspiration from the God of Light and ordered His Highness to go to the Undead Fortress to defeat the evil successor of the previous Undead King while you were still weak. ”

As if unaware of our embarrassment, Paul turned his gaze to me.

"Because the powerhouses of the Holy See are worried about the constraints of the Death Lords, once a person of that level steps into the Demon Realm, it will be easy to be discovered, and then they will be surrounded and suppressed. That's why this crusade will be led by Teacher Xiuen, who has not entered the ranks of the top powerhouses. ”

And then, in a serious tone, said this kind of thing that I didn't want to know in the slightest.

After a helpless sigh, Paul continued:

"-I'm sorry, Lord Eshuin. Talking about so many unnecessary things by yourself, and thinking back to the past without paying attention to it is really a subordinate gaffe, I hope you don't mind. So, what do we do next? ”

Looking at Paul's embarrassed appearance, he probably didn't expect that he would become an immortal from a paladin.

But this kind of personality is not bad, although I am not as thoughtful as Stein, but now I still prefer to have this kind of honest subordinates.

I can't help it, I was really scared out of the psychological shadow by Lord Raymond.

But what about the next step......

"Well, so be it. Now spread out and go to find information about the location of the sealed nerd, but remember to hide your identity and don't make an incident. Even if we can't find it, it doesn't matter, just be familiar with the city, we still have plenty of time. ”

Looking at the crowd of people near the street, I said to everyone.

Although the observation time is not very long, judging from the scenes seen so far, the humanistic situation of Rixel is not much different from the rumors recorded in the library of the Undead Fortress, and it is still a multi-racial city-state with stable security.

Although from the point of view of obtaining rumors, it seems that it will be easier than in a deserted place.

But because of this, Lixel is also full of disorganized false information, and we don't have so much time to waste on false information.

It wasn't easy, so I didn't plan to rush it.

Therefore, it is not possible to force the speed of collection now, but at least to ensure the authenticity of relatively reliable information.

"Then spread out and move around freely, whether you find valid information or not, you have to gather before the evening. As for the meeting place, I think it will be set up in ......"

Scanning the surroundings a little, I hope to find an easy-to-find area to meet in the unfamiliar Lixel.

So, I had to ask a passing Minotaur aunt.

"I'm sorry - may I ask? I'm looking for a spot like this town, the kind of famous place that anyone will know about, could you please tell us a little bit about it?"

"Are you undead from outside? For sightseeing spots, I recommend the Abyss Arena and Central Plaza. ”

Sure enough, according to Aunt Minotaur, it seems that Rixel also has the kind of location that can be easily found.

The arena and the central plaza don't seem to have to be chosen.

"As for the central square, it must be the center of the town. That's one of the destinations of our trip, can you tell us a little bit about how to get there?"

"Well, no problem. Walk straight down the street and turn right to see the sign for the central plaza. That place is easily recognizable, and I hope you find it without any problems. ”

"Thank you so much for your guidance, and I hope Mother Earth will bless you. ”

After saying goodbye to the Minotaur, I walked back to the place where the others had been waiting.

"You have heard it, we will meet in the central square in the evening, it can be very large, so the meeting place is determined to be in the most central location, there is no problem. ”

Hearing me say this, both Paul and Werewolf Lori nodded to indicate that they had understood.

At this time, Ah Shu suddenly expressed something in his heart.

"Ai Xiuyin, as the successor of the sovereign, you can be regarded as one of the most honorable demon king candidates in the demon world. Why is it so much like a first-class errand boy? ”

"If you don't say this, I feel better. So, spread out!"

After saying this, looking at the few people who were leaving in different directions, I was not ready to stay where I was.
