Chapter 149: Karen's Conspiracy

The demon's expression became a little angry again, but his tone was a little deflated: "I'm just a middle-level demon with weak mana, I don't have the ability to leave this undersea city alone, I've been here for more than thirty years, and I naturally don't know anything about the outside world." www.biquge.info As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and his eyes lit up: "So, you came from the land?" ”

Luo Luo looked at him noncommittally, and when the demon saw that he acquiesced, the corners of his mouth also grinned, and his eyes were full of longing: "Take me out of here, okay?" I don't want to stay here anymore! ”

"That's not good, we still have things to deal with in this underwater city, and we have to stay for a while, besides, why should we take you away?" Rollo said impatiently.

The demon's eyes suddenly became a little dim again, and he lowered his head and did not speak, but only sighed.

This seems a little strange. Seeing that the demon was obviously on his mind, and thinking of the ring he had been talking about, and that Cullen had been chasing him, I knew that there must be some deeper reason, so I asked, "What is the ring you were talking about earlier?" ”

Hearing the word "ring", the demon's eyes became frightened again, and he quickly denied it, his voice trembling a little: "No, I never said this word, you heard it wrong!" His visibly panicked expression only deepened our suspicions. But we also know that this demon will not easily tell the reason for this ring, so Lord Sharon changed the question: "Then can you tell us why this underwater city has become the way it is?" Why are there so many demons? ”

The old demon glanced at her, as if pondering the intentions of Lord Sharon's question. His eyes rolled "grunt", and then a sly smile appeared: "I can tell you, but there is also one condition, you must let me go." ”

"There are many inhabitants of the Sea Clan, and you are not the only one who knows the reason, so don't get an inch." Lord Sharon said coldly.

"The people here have been brainwashed by Karen, how can they tell the truth? What's more, they only know the appearance, which is like me to understand the fundamentals? The demon grinned again and said, "You don't lose this deal." ”

We thought about it and agreed.

The old demon began to narrate in fits and starts, and through his words, we had a general idea of the current situation in the underwater city.

It turns out that the appearance of demons in the underwater city is not a recent thing, but something that has been going on since more than thirty years ago.

At that time, there were not many demons here, and most of them were high-level demons who didn't need souls. Although there are also people who have made a contract with the Sea Clan to obtain souls, but more of them are of a traveling nature, after all, wandering around is the consistent hobby of demons, and few high-level demons can endure to stay in Castlevania all the time. But gradually, I don't know when, there began to be many low-level demons of unknown origin here, their levels are uneven, most of them are low-level demons and high-level demons, and they are quickly distributed in the underwater city, I don't know what to do, the leader of this is Karen Cooper, who later became the demon lord. Later, due to the departure of the high-level demons who arrived first, this place was gradually occupied by these later demons. At first, they were still somewhat restrained, just secretly looking for targets, but gradually without the restraint of high-level demons, they began to become more and more unscrupulous. In addition, the people of the SH tribe know very little about the outside world, and they don't even have a clear concept of demons, and they don't know what kind of creatures they are, but instead worship the race they consider to be noble, and even have the name of "god", which allows them to swagger in the streets. And the people here, under the deliberate guidance of that group of demons, are naturally not surprised by such a situation.

And the old demon we caught now came here with the previous high-level demons, and it can be said that it is not the same as those demons that are now gaining momentum in Undersea City. There were many times when the two were here before, and there were many times when they couldn't get used to each other, and the high-level demons didn't look down on the later demons in groups, and the new demons naturally didn't look down on the high-level demons. Now as soon as those high-level demons leave, servants like the old demons have become the target of revenge by the latecomers, and there are also many previous demons who are forced to join the forces of the later demons out of desperation. But the old demon in front of him is resolutely unyielding, so now he is also the target of the demons in the city. As for the tattoos with the deed pattern, they were indeed spread by the demons under Cullen's hands, and as for the reason for doing so, the old demon was not very clear.

It seems that the situation here is far more complicated than we thought.

Now that we have a general understanding of the form here, this old demon is no longer useful to us. After all, he is also being hunted down, and he can't tell us more information we want. It was useless to keep him, so I let him go as agreed.

It can be seen that Rollo is in a good mood today, and after letting go of the old demon, he actually hummed a little tune. I sensed that he must have made some new discoveries in his smug appearance, so I asked, "Why are you so happy?" ”

"Is there one?" A smile appeared on the corner of Rollo's mouth: "I just returned to Duka Town, remembered some of the past, and felt a little emotional." ”

"You've been here before, too?" Lord Sharon was a little surprised.

"The blue sky is what I found here, do you think I've ever been here?" Luo Luo rubbed his hair nonchalantly and continued, "It just so happened that it was more than thirty years ago. That's exactly when Cullen's demons entered here. At that time, it was not as prosperous as it is now, it was just a small fishing village, and the population was not large, so I accidentally met this Karen Cooper. But for some reason, I don't have the slightest impression of what he looks like, but I vaguely remember that he was a very mediocre guy with not a lot of talent. Since then, I've always thought that he shouldn't be a high-level demon with that kind of appearance, let alone become a demon lord like he is now. So when I first learned that the new Demon Lord was also named Karen Cooper, I always thought it was just a duplicate name, but I didn't expect it to be him. Unexpectedly, it has only been a few years, and he has not only become a lord, but also managed this place in an orderly manner, which is really not a simple character. It's just that there's something weird in there......"

"What's weird?"

Luo Luo's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said: "Judging from the previous events and the current situation of the underwater city, there are at least three doubts. The first point is where he came from. Although his current public identity is a high-level demon, even in Castlevania, the number of high-level demons is very small, and they basically have bloodline knowledge, who is his father and who is his mother...... Going back several generations, there are relatives and reasons. But this Karen, before he became a lord, no one in Castlevania knew about his existence at all, and he didn't know who his parents were, so he was said to be of 'unknown origin'. And the high-level demons he brought were all the same as him, and they couldn't tell where they came from, which was the first suspicion. The second point is why he runs an undersea city. The demon itself doesn't like group activities, and it doesn't meaninglessly interact with aliens other than those who make the contract, but if you look at the current appearance of the underwater city, it is really vibrant, thriving, Karen he simply regards this place as his stronghold, but what is he doing here? And the last point is the ring that the old demon just talked about. Cullen's insistence on naming and killing such an old man who didn't pose any threat to him at all can only show that this old demon has something hidden in Cullen's body, and this thing is probably the ring he said. What is the purpose of this ring is also worth pondering. ”

After listening to Luo Luo's analysis, Lord Sharon was a little silent, and after a while, she said slowly: "In recent years, Castlevania has flourished, and it has the potential to catch up with humans and become the most arrogant race on the entire continent. But according to the information I've gotten a few times recently, it's mainly the two lords Augustin and Clarissa who are in charge of Castlevania now. This poorly blooded Cullen doesn't seem to be so convincing to those arrogant high-level demons in Evener, so I don't think his own abilities have yet reached the level where he can surpass Augustine. In such a situation, if I were Karen himself, I would be in a hurry, right? I thought that there would be a lot of people to return to Castlevania, but I didn't expect to be crushed to death by those high-level demons with innate bloodline advantages, so I must be very unconvinced, right? So I think he must be desperate to get more power now. If this Cullen's stronghold before returning to Castlevania to become a demon lord was in this underwater city, most of the demons he brought back to Evenge were from here, demons of unknown origin. Does this mean that the strength to become a demon lord was actually obtained in this undersea city? Or does this ability have something to do with the ring that the old demon just said? ”

I also fell into thought, it seems that this underwater city really hides a lot of secrets waiting for us to discover.
