Chapter 68: The Banquet

Sitting in the carriage, Mu Yunxiao touched her hair and rubbed her eyes slightly, her white hair and red eyes should be able to confuse those people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Don't worry, I don't think they will remember you yet." Liao Yu didn't care.

"I'll find a reason later, such as going to the toilet to make up for makeup or something like leaving, and when the time comes, you can drag them down, and you can say as many words as you can."

"It's natural, but do we really need to determine where the gems are, at first you said you didn't need to."

"Originally, I didn't think it was necessary, but since you're going to come here to attend a banquet, it's a good thing to investigate, if you can steal it, then we'll just leave directly, and we will also catch them off guard. But are you really sure that this time, even if the Demon King attacks the Radiant Fortress in the same way as before, it won't work? ”

Yes, the reason Mu Yunxiao gave Liao Yu was to find out if the Dark Gem was here, and if he could, he would steal it by the way. Of course, she couldn't tell him that she didn't trust him, so she wanted to find someone to make sure that what he said was true or not. Of course, she was also preparing for her to investigate, but it was unlikely that she would steal it, and she was sure that after her previous escape, the Demon King's guards would be much tighter.

"Although the Demon King's previous formation was powerful, it was not something that could be used often, and besides, the fortress had experienced it once, so naturally he was prepared, so you don't have to worry about this. When the time comes, I'll do my best to influence the people here so that they don't notice your disappearance, but you're sure you won't be discovered. ”

"I've been here for a while, and didn't I say that after killing Xiao'er, I got a skill reward that can make me invisible, and even if I use mental power to probe during the invisible time, I can't find it." On the surface, Mu Yunxiao had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he couldn't restrain himself proudly, but what he actually said was half-truth.

She told Liao Yu that she had a skill, but she didn't tell him that she had obtained a talisman, and although that Void Concealment had the effect of hiding her body and nothingness, it couldn't actually isolate the detection of spiritual power, but if she used the talisman at the same time, then Liao Yu wouldn't be able to find her.

Of course, in order to prevent Liao Yu from noticing something unusual, she hung the talisman on her chest and hid it in her clothes, so she couldn't see it at all.

"Okay, but if it's dangerous, or if there's a possibility of being discovered, it's better to be careful, it's not good to keep them vigilant."

"Of course I do."

The carriage slowly drove to the castle, which was a place that Mu Yunxiao was very familiar with, but she had never seen what the banquet here was like before, after all, the demon king had not returned to his castle at that time.

She followed behind Liao Yu, bowing her head slightly and looking respectful, and the others didn't care.

Entering the banquet hall, there were already many demon nobles at this time, and when they saw Liao Yu, many people greeted them.

Although Liao Yu is a human being, they all know that this is a human with the strength of a demon king, and he will be transformed into a demon in the near future, so they are naturally willing to come and play with him.

Mu Yunxiao followed behind him, although she was wearing a dress, it was actually her new inner armor inside, and there was space for a backpack, and the clothes on her body could be changed at any time.

She just smiled and didn't talk much to other people who came to talk, that is, she simply echoed what others said, trying her best to reduce her sense of existence, so that she wouldn't be too concerned when she ran away.

Others also felt that Mu Yunxiao was really a little bad at words, men wanted to be close to Liao Yutao, and female demons also wanted to be close to him, just his face could attract many people, not to mention that he still had strong strength.

Unconsciously, Mu Yunxiao had actually retreated to a relatively corner place, but no one noticed.

A group of people were chatting and drinking, and the lights suddenly dimmed, and all the spotlights were focused on the host of this banquet.

In the darkness, everyone was waiting for the master's speech, but Mu Yunxiao's figure quietly disappeared in the darkness.

Fortunately, this time, the demon king who was with Liao Yu before was not there, otherwise he would definitely focus on Mu Yunxiao, and she would not be able to get out so easily.

When he arrived in the corridor, the lights became brighter, but Mu Yunxiao did not panic, changed into the maid costume in the backpack before, and walked in the corridor with his head down, while trying his best to restrain his breath so as not to attract attention, and by the way, he also turned on the anti-prying function of the talisman.

Although Mu Yunxiao didn't know where the Demon King's treasure house was, she remembered very well where Fei Fei's study was, so she walked easily along the way, and the spiritual power she released was enough for her to avoid those powerful maids, servants, or guards.

Therefore, although the Demon King's castle was extremely busy today, and from time to time there were servants walking around the corridor with plates, Mu Yunxiao still successfully reached the corridor outside the study.

Naturally, there were still guards standing outside the study, and she might have been worried about how to open the door, but this time, she directly used the Void Concealment Skill, so that all the guards couldn't see her. After trying it, he walked through the door with both hands, and sure enough, it was also unimpeded, which made Mu Yunxiao feel a little magical.

The moment she walked through the door, she couldn't help but close her eyes, and then opened them to be in the study.

It was also an SR-level skill, and she blinked. Looking in front of him, Fei Fei was reading a book, drinking tea, with a leisurely expression, not feeling Mu Yunxiao's arrival at all, but the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study shone on the dim sky of the demons outside the study, but this picture seemed a little out of place.

Without rushing to contact the stealth, Mu Yunxiao first replaced the white hair and blood pupils, and then appeared in front of Fei Fei.

Seeing Mu Yunxiao's sudden appearance, even Fei Fei couldn't help but be frightened, but Mu Yunxiao's eyes were quick, so he covered her mouth before she screamed.

After calming down, Fei Fei realized that the woman in front of her was the same human adventurer she had seen months ago.

Class A! She quickly judged it, revealing a look of surprise, because at first she really thought that Mu Yunxiao was a C-level human.

"You're back?" She calmed down and asked with some vigilance.

"I'm back, but I didn't bring any Elven Fountains." Mu Yunxiao first explained the situation to her, "I just want to ask you some questions because of some things." ”

Suppressing the curiosity in her heart, Fei Fei took a sip of tea and nodded.

"Since you've come specifically to me, there must be something important, otherwise you wouldn't have come back here after running away for so long."

She didn't ask Mu Yunxiao how she suddenly appeared, nor did she ask what happened after she fled.

Mu Yunxiao just smiled faintly, and it was impossible to take the initiative to tell her these things.

"You mentioned to me before that the only way to turn humans into demons is to use dark gems, so do you know the process of using dark gems?"

Fei Fei was surprised again, looked Mu Yunxiao up and down, and frowned.

"What do you want to do?"

"One of my buddies and I were going to destroy the gem and we're going to go deep into the tiger's den for that, so we want to figure out how they use it." Mu Yunxiao briefly summarized it, but reversed the priority of the problem, but it didn't matter, she just subconsciously liked to keep a hand.

"Is this ...... Actually, I've only seen a little bit, and I don't know the specifics. Fei Fei thought for a while, but only shook her head slightly, making Mu Yunxiao slightly disappointed.

"But I can tell you why the Dark Gem can completely transform people into demons."

Hearing her words, Mu Yunxiao raised his head all of a sudden, and looked straight at her with his eyes.

Fei Fei didn't care about her fiery gaze, and slowly took a sip of tea before continuing.

"People like us who have been demonized, in fact, their souls have been eroded by the demonic energy of the demon race, making us half-demonic and half-human monsters, but because we have human blood in our bodies, this cannot be changed by demonic energy, so we can only be half-demonic and half-human monsters for the rest of our lives."

"The root of the demon race is their form, they have human form, beast form and other forms, this is the power of their bloodline, the erosion of demon qi can only be from the inside, but not from the outside."

"And the function of the dark gem is to change a person's bloodline, when a person's body is completely transformed into a demon body, they become half a demon. The body of the demon has a strong ability to accept the demon, and the demonic energy absorbed in an instant is enough to completely erode a person's soul and turn him into a complete demon. This change is irreversible. ”

"If there is no demon body, when a person's soul is completely eroded by the demon qi, he will lose his soul and become a thoughtless tool. And if you have a demon body, you won't lose your mind, because the demon body has a high degree of acceptance of demonic energy. ”

"The reason why I have been staying here to read, although there is also the fact that I am no longer able to be accepted by human beings, the bigger reason is that my soul has been eroded by demonic energy, and if I want to maintain human sobriety, I must always resist this erosion. The slow pace calms me down, but I don't know how long I'll be able to hold out without the Fountain of Elves. ”

Fei Fei said a lot, and Mu Yunxiao also understood.

It's a little incredible, but it's a game after all, and any explanation is reasonable.

"So, if you are physically transformed into a demon, then there is no way to turn back into a human at all? Not even Elven Water? ”

"Of course! Because if your body is changed, you can't change it back, and you can't get out of your body, otherwise you're dead. Even with your adventurer's resurrection technique, your body hasn't changed, has it? Fei Fei shook her head, "So what you want to do is actually very dangerous, once you make a mistake, you will be turned into demons, and even your soul will not escape erosion." ”

"But that gem must be destroyed, or it will always be a threat." Mu Yunxiao frowned, although she could leave now, the threat of this gem had not changed, and now they had a good chance, of course they had to give it a try.

"I'm not going to stop you, I'm just telling you all about it. As for how to use that gem, there is only a brief introduction in the book that the gem usually does not release any dark aura, and only those sacrifices with strong spiritual power will use a special magic circle to stimulate this gem, and I don't know what happens next. ”

"That's enough." Although she didn't know the specific situation, with the principle of action of the Dark Gem, she would at least give herself some protection.

There was nothing else, Fei Fei told Mu Yunxiao again that he must bring the Spirit Spring to her as soon as possible, Mu Yunxiao nodded, and once again used the Void Concealment skill to leave.

The spiritual power casually explored the entire castle and found the most defended place except for the study, which must be the treasure house. Mu Yunxiao successfully blended in, but found that all the things in the treasure house would be triggered as long as she moved, and she couldn't find the location of the dark gem.

To no avail, she could only return to the banquet hall.

The banquet had reached its climax, and Mu Yunxiao had no interest in disturbing those who were chatting excitedly, hiding in the corner and not finding out about her disappearance, which made her successfully relieved.
