Chapter 133: Lobbying

I hesitated for a moment, took out a napkin and wiped her mouth as I said, "Then do you know that Lancelop is actually a demon?"

When Maria heard this, her expression changed dramatically, and she looked at me in amazement with big eyes, but this look was only fleeting, and soon she put on a nonchalant expression, giving the impression that she did not believe what I said at all.

"I know it sounds incredible, but it's true. That guy's real identity is actually the "Dream Demon King" Malthus, we met last time in the dungeon of Mont Saint-Michel, and you know that I keep the memory of the Demon King, so even if his appearance changes now, I can still remember this guy's voice, I don't know what purpose this guy is doing, but one thing is certain, that is, what he does will definitely not be beneficial to humans and the Holy See, so if you really hate the demons and really want to defend the world, it is best to choose to cooperate with us."

After listening to me, Maria was silent for a long time, and I could see her inner struggle in her eyes at the moment, but after all, this girl didn't trust me as much as the princess or Ah Zi, and after hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but sneer: "Do you think this trick of deceiving children will work for me?"

"If I really wanted to lie to you, I'd make up a more decent one...", I couldn't help but smile bitterly, after all, if I hadn't experienced it myself, even I wouldn't have found this kind of thing reliable.

Seeing that I actually reacted like this, Maria couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and her eyes began to show a little suspicion: "Evidence, if you want me to believe that there must be more conclusive evidence, you can't just rely on a few words from you..."

"This... Not really." I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the way Maria looked at me suddenly became a little strange.

"Don't look at me like that, I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. Do you think that if we really have conclusive evidence at hand, wouldn't it be more beneficial for us to hear about it in the streets and alleys before we heard about it? But the problem is that we really don't have it now, I am one of the witnesses, but the problem is that you won't believe such a statement, Elena who told me about it is no longer there, and now there is no proof of it, and the rest of the people who know about it are probably only high-level vampires like Nigel, but the relationship between us is very stiff, they may not be willing to testify for me, and even if they come, you probably won't believe it, and I don't want to make up some lies to lie to you..."Speaking of this, I couldn't help but scratch my head, and now this situation is not convincing even for me...

"You... What a strange person..."Maria stared at me for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sneer.

"Well, my life is weird." I echoed it casually, after all, this is a fact in itself.

"What do you want to know?" Maria turned her head to look at me and suddenly spoke.

"Wait, you mean—" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and Maria seemed to have a change of heart?

"Answer my question first!?" Maria said coldly, don't look at her age, she really shows a majesty when she is really serious.

"Oh, we want to know how we can find Malthus, or Lancelop."

"You want to confront him face to face!?" There was a hint of surprise in Maria's expression, for the idea seemed bold to anyone.

"This matter has to be settled, I don't want to involve more innocent people..."I couldn't help but glance at the camp and look at the black elves who had just lost their homes.

"Do you know the risks of doing this?" Maria asked.

"Of course."

"And do you want to do it?"

"Well, as long as I feel the need to speak..."

Maria lowered her head, thoughtfully, you can clearly see her slender eyelashes in the light of the campfire, and you must admit that Maria is really a rare beauty when she is quiet.

"Let me think about it." I don't know how long it took Maria to finally reply to me.

"Okay." With that, I stood up.

"Don't you think my answer is too ambiguous?" Maria asked.

"No, if you agree to such a big thing, I won't feel at ease." I replied with a smile.

"You're so funny," Maria smiled, as if she were facing an innocent child...

"You're not the first to say that... By the way, what do you want to eat tomorrow?"

"Is there dragon meat?" Maria said maliciously.

"Yes, but I'm too old for fear that you won't be able to chew, I'll see if I can change the chicken for you." I know that Maria is deliberately joking, this girl suffered a big loss under Anton La last time, and she still remembers it, and she can't help but entertain it when she has the opportunity, and the hatred between women is sometimes really terrible to think about.

After leaving Maria, I walked to the side of the creek to wash my hands, and as soon as I reached the corner, I found a familiar figure.

"Please, how do you say that you are also an elder, can you not be so shameless and shameless?" After seeing each other's faces clearly, I finally couldn't help but vomit.

"Are you happy with me? Isn't this also for the sake of the big picture!?" Anton gave me a blank look and retorted.

"Well, you're the first person I know to be able to express such a thing as eavesdropping on people in such a strict way."

"Less, how many years have you lived? Don't say that you seem to have seen a lot!?"

"But I have the memory of the Demon King..."

"What era is that? Interesting to mention? Besides, once humans are shameless, they are often more terrible than demons..."The fighting groove, which was originally quite unnutritious, immediately became serious because of Antonla's words... Yes, the demons in my memory are ferocious, insidious, and cunning, but if it comes to despicability and shamelessness, it may not be comparable to some human beings today, of course, I also understand that this is because all I am familiar with are high-level demons like the "Twelve Demon Gods" and "Seventy-two Commanders", and with the ability of this group of guys, even if they want to be despicable, they can't be despicable, and if it's a low-level demon, I'm afraid it won't be much stronger than the demons, but the point that really touched my heart with Antonla's words is not here...

"And how do you feel about eavesdropping?" After an awkward silence, I finally chose to change the subject.

"This girl can't be trusted." Antonla's answer was straightforward.

"Why?" I leaned back on the carriage beside me, ready to listen carefully to Antonla's analysis, the old dragon, who was usually a fool of himself, but had always been very clear-headed on key issues.

"It's not obvious yet? A master who started killing people as a teenager, do you think he will be shaken by such a few words? Who will believe that?"

"I believe it."

"Get out, you kid can't walk when he sees a beautiful girl, you believe everything people say!?"

"Why, I can tell that what this girl just said doesn't look like a fake..."

"Please, do you feel like this ethereal thing can be relied on?"

"Of course, because I'm the Demon King."

"You—" Antona was about to retort, when he suddenly froze, it was obvious that he realized the true meaning of my words, and finally swallowed the second half of his words back...
