Chapter 131: Two Advantages
"Two advantages?" Everyone wondered.
"That's right, one is Lancelop's true identity...", I relayed the news I had heard from Elena to the crowd, and everyone was horrified.
"It can't be!" The princess firmly denied it, her face full of disbelief.
"I know it sounds ridiculous, but what I heard in the dungeon that day was indeed the voice of 'Malthus', which I can vouch for with my personality, and according to Yelena's relays at the time, Malthus's purpose and feasibility in doing so are fully valid."
"However, there is a strict system for personnel management within the Holy See, and the origin of the person concerned will be reviewed every time he is promoted and transferred, not to mention that Lancerop is the current chief high priest, and the process to go through is so complicated that you can't imagine it, in this case, it is a bit strange to say that he is actually a demon." The princess shook her head, still in disbelief.
"Not necessarily..."Before I could speak, Antonla, who was next to me, spoke first.
"What you're talking about is nothing more than a process thing, if the other party is really the "Dream Demon King" Malthus, it's too easy to settle these things, it can completely forge an impeccable resume for itself... No, it doesn't even have to be faked, it can completely incarnate as a human called "Lancelop" and experience a full life in a human way, so that all the experiences about this person become real and valid."
"No, it's going to take a lot of time." Xiao Jia on the side couldn't help but exclaim when he heard it.
"Hey, what's all the fuss about? Many of our dragons do this to escape the pursuit of humans, and they incarnate as humans to go through a full period of childhood, youth, prime of life, and death, and some even change their appearance to play the role of family members for several generations, so that they can even make a complete family tree for themselves, which is almost invulnerable from the perspective of you humans. Malthus, both in terms of magic and longevity, is far stronger than the average dragon, and it is even easier to do this. What really makes people feel incomprehensible is that the Holy City Mountain is a place where white magic gathers, and there is an enchantment on the periphery, and it is logically impossible for a demon clan to survive in it, and I'm afraid that even the "Twelve Demon Gods" can't do this, right?" Antonla said and looked up at me, although as an old dragon that has lived for hundreds of years, its experience and insight far exceed that of all of us here, but when it comes to understanding the demons, I am afraid that there are really few people in this world who can be above me now.
"Well, Mount Shengcheng is a "blessed land of the gods", protected by its mana, and under normal circumstances, no demon can live in it for a long time except for the demon king... But there are always exceptions."
"Like?" Anton La asked.
"For example, if the god is gone, or if his mana is declining... Ouch!" Before I could speak, Antonla picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over, and I hurriedly avoided it sideways, and the stone was finally lost.
"I'll go, why don't you just say that the world is destroyed?" Antonla questioned mercilessly, but it's no wonder, even I think it's a bit unlikely...
"I said theoretically, theoretically, this possibility exists." I explained as I patted the dust off my body.
"You—" Seeing that Andonla picked up a bigger stone and was about to throw it at me, fortunately he was stopped by the princess on the side in time.
"Okay, okay, when are you two still messing around here, Kane, you go on, this time to the point!"
To say that the princess is still quite authoritative in our group, hearing her say this, it is not good for Antonla and I to continue to fight, and immediately returned to their places and began to analyze: "Well, in fact, there is a more feasible way in addition to the one just now, that is, Malthus cut off part of his spiritual body..."
"No, shouldn't it be too weak to move now?" As the top student of the former Wizards Guild, Xiao Jia realized the risks of this move for the first time. The so-called spirit body is the source of all magic in the world, whether it is black magic or white magic, it needs to rely on the caster's own spiritual power, the stronger the spiritual power, the greater the magic power, especially for races like the "dream demon" that can live in the spiritual world, so the act of cutting off part of the spirit body is undoubtedly self-harm for them, and even the slightest carelessness will even have the worry of life.
"Generally speaking, that's true, but don't forget that Malthus is the elite of the demon race, and his strength is even above Dacula, and the terrible people of this "vampire king" have all seen it with their own eyes, so although the removal of part of the spirit will weaken its strength, Malthus is still believed to be much stronger than the vast majority of magicians in this world. ”
"But even so, if the matter is revealed, isn't it still dangerous?" Xiao Jia still seemed a little incredulous.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? How could such a major plot succeed without taking some risks? ”
"Incredible... Xiao Jia shook her head with a wry smile, stood in place and muttered to herself, as if she still couldn't believe that there was such a ridiculous thing in this world, but for a while she didn't seem to be able to find a reason to refute it.
"Then according to you, since Malthus has successfully infiltrated the Holy See and is in a high position, why doesn't it want to destroy the Holy See first?" At this time, Ah Zi questioned from another angle.
"Well, that's a good question. First of all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Holy See seems to be the mortal enemy of the demons, but in fact, this is just the wishful thinking of human beings, the real demons don't look down on humans at all, their real enemies are the Protoss and those angels, human beings are just some food for them, and they can also be slaves if necessary, to put it bluntly, it is not wrong to treat domestic animals with human feelings, so for Malthus, instead of spending energy thinking about how to destroy the Holy See, it is better to collect more information to fight against the Protoss. And secondly, it's not that it's doing nothing, don't you realize that the Holy See is getting worse and worse today? “
When everyone heard this, they could not help but be silent for a while, although the perverse actions of the Holy See have not stopped, but in recent years the situation has indeed tended to deteriorate further, and in some remote areas, its control has been declining day by day, and it can even be said to have collapsed. Originally, most people blamed this on the accumulation of corruption caused by the Holy See's own corrupt ********, but now it seems that there are some "invisible hands" in it.
"So you're trying to take advantage of this to throw the Holy See into disarray?" To say that the princess was a smart person after all, she quickly realized my intentions.
"That's right."
"But we don't have direct evidence right now, do we? Even if you say it, those people may not believe it?
"Hey, you don't know about the Holy See? When I have nothing to do on weekdays, I am still busy intriguing all day long, let alone such a sensational news? As long as it is released, there will definitely be people who will make a big fuss about it, and there are not a few people who are jealous of the position of high priest." At this time, Anton La, who was on the side, couldn't help but interject, and his words once again revealed his understanding of human society.
