Chapter 1 The Gate of Desire Section 69 The Trace of the Enemy

Countess Benita Benedict's lively masquerade continues until late at night. After the ball, Farrag and Lea find Unki, who is smiling all over his face, amid the ebb and flow of people. He was poisoned, but it was not known if it was the old poison or if he had drunk a new poisoned wine.

This night, Wu Enqi has been sitting in a daze, and the next day, he happily rode the star whale baby to the open-air theater in the East Nineteenth District. All the preparations in the theater are ready, and the patriarch Musa is rehearsing "Winter of the Dragon Slayer" with many Night Clan girls. The old blue dragon Hydia was also here, but he did not participate in the rehearsal, but just turned into a dragon and lazily lay on the stage.

Unqi reported to Moussa, "I have invited all the guests you want to invite, but I hope to delay the performance of "Winter of the Dragon Slayer" until the last day of winter. ”

Moussa pointed his finger in the direction of the blue dragon and whispered, "He has already told me that he doesn't care about waiting a few more days, and we just happen to practice a few more times." Boss Hai said you have to play another scene, do you need my help?"

"I'm going to trouble you," said Uenki. In the period before the show, I will act in concealment, if you can't find me for a while, don't worry, I will hide in the shadows of the magic capital. ”

Mouses said: "In that case, let us make an agreement." If the yellow lantern is hung on the NightClan's houseboat, I have something urgent to look for you. Everything has been fine in the tribe lately, with Yanai and Hedo here, and the houseboat's defense is much more reliable, so nothing should happen. ”

After the secret conversation, Unqi hurried back to the hut next to the cemetery in the North 10th District.

In the courtyard outside the house, Farrag and Leah were squatting beside the ancestral spirit mirror and burning paper. Each piece of yellow paper has the names of the first demon king Sainz and the third demon king on it, and each piece of paper is an invitation to invite the two of them to the East Nineteenth District of the Gate of Desire to watch the burlesque "Winter of Dragon Slaying" starring the blue dragon Hydia.

The yellow paper was burning brightly, and Uenqi leaned over to pick up a few pieces of paper and threw them into the fire. There are words in his mouth, but they are nothing more than nonsense such as heavenly spirits, earth spirits, demons and monsters.

Faroug asked Unqi weakly: "Boss, can we invite two demon kings by burning paper in front of our house?"

"I also think it's too childish. But these two guys, one is a thousand-armed giant among the five totems of mankind, and the other is a spirit of prayer among the five totems, God knows where they are hiding. Anyway, the two of them are also human ancestral spirits, and the three of us burn paper in front of the ancestral spirit mirror, just if they receive our hearts. ”

Farug was speechless, he couldn't agree with Unki's attitude towards bluffing the gods.

After burning the paper, Uenqi discussed the plan of the demon slayer with his two young men, and in the ten days that Uenqi led Lea through the city, Faroug was not idle, he has been investigating the hiding place of the old demon in the mountains in the Demon Capital Desire. Although his investigation yielded little results, Unqi appeared to be confident.

Unqi said to Farouge, "Brother, you have to think about it, if you kill the old demon in the mountains, you will become a traitor in the eyes of the Spirit Leader and the Spirit Clan. After all, the old demon in the mountains is using you, he is for the hegemony of the spirit clan, and you are only taking revenge on him for personal revenge. ”

Farroug said: "It's not a personal vendetta! Why are we shadow dancers orphans, just because the old demon in the mountains needs orphans. The reason why we were doused with forbidden drugs and trained as Assassins is because he needs the dead. If he treats us like a dead man, then it will be fine, but he will treat us like a mustard and play with us like cattle. ”

"I know you have a reason to take revenge on the old demon in the mountains, but there are many reasons in this world. It is for the sake of reason to be clever and clever in order to be the first to seek things; to distinguish profit and loss, and to put faith and righteousness first, it is for righteousness; to think far-reachingly, to grasp the essence is to be reasonable; to be empathetic and move in time is to be reasonable. Reason, righteousness, reason, you have your reason, I have my reason. You think you're reasonable, but the old demon in the mountains also thinks he's reasonable. If you're considered a traitor, you'll have nowhere to be reasonable. ”

Farruger said, "You have said so many truths, why don't you talk about heavenly principles?"

Wu Enqi smiled: "Do you think there is a reason in the world? Don't be stupid, my brother, only that kind of reason does not exist." It is because you believe that there is a heavenly principle that you have been deceived repeatedly. ”

Faruger pouted and said, "If you don't believe that there is a heavenly principle, won't you be deceived? They do these things that hurt the heavens and reason, such a hegemonic cause, if they succeed, it will be a disaster." Many people say that Lingkui Kanu Layman has a big heart, but he connives, and I look down on him. He thinks I'm a traitor, whatever he thinks. ”

"I'm still not at ease if you just say that," said Uenchi. After the demon is eliminated, you are an alien in the demon realm and a traitor in the original realm, where do you want to gain a foothold?"

In addition, I also thought about it, there is a sea of fog in the demon world, and there is a turbid ocean in the original world, and I heard that in the farther phantom realm, there are the Beiming Ocean and the Phantom Sea, and in the human world, there are the Exposed Wind Sea, the Angry Sea, and the Ice Pure Ocean. If there is a future, I will lead a ghost fleet to sail on the seven seas, experience every wind and rain, and see countless folk customs, how free and easy?"

Faruger's words made Unqi also fascinated. However, Faroug was born with a reckless and unrestrained prodigal heart, while Unqi always loved to carry countless responsibilities and painstakingly difficult treks.

Unki smiled self-deprecatingly, and he looked at Lea inquiringly. The three of them have to deal with the old demon in the mountains, the old demon in the mountains is the sixth demon general, and he is a behemoth with extraordinary strength. Compared to him, the three of them were just little crawlers who didn't fall into the stream. Moreover, Uenqi is still half crippled now, and Faruge's spiritual skills obviously have little effect on the demon generals who are also proficient in spiritual arts, if they want to kill the old demon in the mountain, they can only rely on the sword skills of the forbidden soul sword Cangwu and Liya to have a glimmer of hope.

Leah whispered, "Farug's hatred is my hatred. My past and his past are worse than death, and I understand his hatred for the old demon. ”

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you failed?"

Liya said confidently: "Lord, don't worry, if I am allowed to get within three steps and take the sword first, even the Holy Emperor and the Demon Leader will not escape death." ”

Unqi shook Leah's hand and said, "You haven't even killed ordinary gangsters, but you're going to assassinate the demon general, it's too difficult for you." But you can rest assured, if you are unfortunate enough to miss, the two of us will never steal our lives, the big deal is that the three of us will go to Huangquan Road together, and we will not be alone on the road. ”

Leah raised her pretty face and quietly curled the corners of her mouth. Leah and Faroug are very similar, and neither of them has much happiness in the past, so she is just as unafraid of death as he is. The difference is only that Farouge is not afraid at all, Leah is a little afraid, she is only afraid that she will die alone, since she will not be alone, now she is not afraid.

Unki, Farrag, and Lea clasped their six hands together. In terms of strength, they are just three small grasshoppers in the magic capital, but they are determined to take down a giant elephant.

With the determination set, Unqi took Farrag and Lia's hands and said, "Actually, I can roughly guess who the old demon in the mountains is, and when the "Winter of the Dragon Slayer" is staged in the open-air theater, it is a godsend for us to assassinate him. There is enough time, let's have a good time in the bustling world of the magic capital first, recuperate our spirits, and then go to the demon Slayer. ”

Farrouge said in disbelief: "You love to brag, I don't believe you, even I can't find him, but can you guess?"

Wu Enqi said: "You are looking in the wrong direction, think about it, he is the sixth demon general, he will definitely not hide in obscurity when he comes to the demon capital, he must have an identity that is omnipotent." And he has been here a long time ago, after the fall of Thessalonokee, he infiltrated the Demon City of Desire with a large number of refugees, and he has been operating in the Demon City for decades, which can be described as deeply rooted. ”

Unqi remembered what happened to him at the ball, and added: "Moreover, I guess he must be as tired of the courtesies and manners of the demon nobles as I am, he will not pretend to be a nobleman, he must be an urban tycoon who can freely travel between the aristocratic district, the citizen area and the slums, and he is the uncrowned king in the world of glittering wine, wine and flowers, so as long as we are sure that he is in the magic capital, his identity is not difficult to guess." ”

Farug asked, "You can guess who the old demon of the mountains is now?"

Unqi smiled: "Not yet, but there is a direction about it." ”

Unqi and Farouge compared the small book of Alfonso, the tour guide of the magic capital, and listed the people who were prominent in the magic capital in recent years but were not nobles, and analyzed them one by one. By nightfall, the two of them had listed dozens of suspects, including the world-craftsman Chitafin, the interior officer of the magic capital, Zoe Kateley, the moneylender Candida, and even the Countess Benita Benedict, as well as the tycoon of her father's civic district, Mr. Benedict Sr.

Unch and Farrouge looked at the long list for a long time.

Farrouge asked, "Boss, do you need me to investigate them one by one?"

Unqi looked up at the ceiling, and had to say that he did say a big thing just now, and it was not easy to guess who the old demon in the mountains was.

Uenqi shrugged and said, "If that's the case, you won't be able to investigate until the end of winter next year." We'll have to find a way to lure the old demon out of the mountain so that we can confirm his identity. After all, there is only one chance to make a move, and if we startle the snake or get the wrong target, we will become their prey. Your spirit spy network is not vegetarian, and I don't want to go out on the streets before I get out of the school. ”
