205. Threats in the shadows
Not much was known about the Order, and not much was known about the shopkeeper. ”
Red shook her head and said with some frustration.
"After all, that shopkeeper is only a newcomer to the cult, and he is only an outsider of the cult, so he doesn't have much access to valuable information."
"We only know that the order believes in two twin demons, so the sacrifice of the summoning demons requires a pair of twins with the same heart, and the specific time and place of the summoning ceremony is not very clear, and the police station is still trying to find it."
"However, since the two sisters were rescued by Professor Merlin and lost their important sacrifice, then the summoning ceremony will definitely be postponed, and we have bought important time to investigate."
Thinking of this, Red reinvigorated again.
"But Professor Merlin, be careful lately, the cultists who have been robbed of their sacrifices may ...... you"
The werewolf girl just wanted to be careful with Merlin, but when she turned her head, the girl remembered the true identity of the beautiful young professor in front of her, and she couldn't help but get stuck in the middle of speaking.
emmmm, if that group of cultists really went to Professor Merlin, then they didn't bother to hold any demon summoning rituals, this would be directly picking up a living demon king for nothing, in a sense, that cult group would not lose money, provided that they could come back alive from Professor Merlin's hands.
Red still doesn't know why a demon king would leave the abyss alone and run to the territory of humans to disguise himself as a human professor, but no matter how you think about it, there must be some ulterior and shocking conspiracy behind this, and then think of the ambiguous relationship between Professor Merlin and the dean of the academy now....
Hiss..... The werewolf girl didn't dare to think about it anymore, there were some things that didn't do much good, and she wouldn't die if she didn't die, she didn't want to be killed because she knew too much without revenge.
Although Red has signed a deed of sale with Professor Merlin, theoretically she can be trusted by Professor Merlin, and Professor Merlin seems to be different from the vicious demons mentioned in the textbook, this is a good and good demon, not the kind of terrible existence that is murderous, but it is better not to gamble on this kind of thing related to life.
In any case, Professor Merlin must have a reason for hiding his identity, and if that group of demon believers go up and break his identity, it is estimated that they will not see much better if they see something they shouldn't see......
As for the other side, Merlin naturally didn't know what the werewolf girl in front of him was making up in his head, and he was quite calm about the girl's previous reminder, after all, the pair of sisters were staying in his castle now, and the castle's defense power was .....
It can only be said that although he, the demon king, is fake and just a mascot, the demon king city that has been eroded by the power of the demon king for many years is real.
As a former royal manor, the castle is guarded by a squad of former Royal Knights, with a large number of 100 people.
The Royal Knights are the elite of the elite of the Imperial Army in the past, and the entry threshold is the intermediate knights, with the senior knights as the captains, and the head of the regiment is served by the saint-level grand knights.
In other words, the guards of the castle are composed of 100 knights above the intermediate level, and it is estimated that there are no other forces that will be so extravagant except for the central cathedral of the church.
Although the guards have now become cold guard statues because of Cynthia's curse, once an outsider enters the castle without permission, these stone statues will be revived, and the stone statue curse will also give these guards a stone-hard defense and infinite power, it can be said that although these guards have lost their freedom after being cursed, their strength has increased greatly.
What's even worse is that these stone statue guards have been soaked in Merlin's overflowing demon power for so many years, and they are estimated to have evolved into a special kind of demon - gargoyles.
This thing is considered an elite unit in the abyss, a castle guarded by a hundred gargoyles, and this is already a real Demon King City-level defense.
Not to mention that among this group of gargoyles, there is also a gargoyle leader who turned into the head of the knight team back then, which can be regarded as the first mini-boss that the intruder will face.
After defeating the Gargoyle Commander, the intruder can be considered to break through the outer defense of the castle and enter the inner layer of the castle, and this layer of defense is composed of castle servants.
The servants who could be selected to serve the royal family in the castle were naturally elites, whether they were cooks or butlers, or grooms or something, they must have reached the apex of their respective career paths, and such talents with special talents often evolved their own unique demonic talents according to their respective skills after being transformed into demons.
It's like the chariot that the coachman has turned into, the chef has become Hell's Kitchen, the gardener has become the garden of the abyss, and the tailor has become the wardrobe of the puppet theater.
Although in the face of Merlin, this group of servants is submissive and respectful, a noble prince, a dear little master or something, but in the face of outsiders, this group of guys who are already demons in nature will not be good-tempered, and they are basically the lords who rank 2 on the designated list of seals.
This group of servants can be regarded as the defense of the inner circle of the castle, a group of small and medium-sized bosses.
And if the invaders can even break through this, then he will enter the core area of the castle, that is, the main castle where Merlin lives, and there are only two defenses here, one is the head maid of the puppet, and the other is the main culprit of the castle's current scene, the elven witch of calamity.
Well, as long as you defeat these two big bosses, then you can congratulate you, you successfully complete the cursed castle dungeon, and get a reward with a good-looking mascot prince and his three loli pendants.
It's just that if this group of cultists really has this ability, then what kind of cult is there to engage in, what kind of future does this person shout and fight, go directly to the abyss to blow up the real Demon King City, and become a brave man praised by the world, isn't this fragrant?
It's just that although this group of cultists is not a big threat to him, he is afraid that the thieves are worried about it, and it is not a good feeling to be calculated every day, and his human form during the day is indeed a weakness.
If that group of cultists came to do something during the day, he might really overturn, of course, he couldn't die, after all, he was full of Cynthia brand life-saving props.
"I'm not in the way here, but I'm afraid that your student identity will be exposed, which will bring trouble to the school."
Merlin pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
After all, this is often the case in anime movies, and the protagonist will always be held hostage by various villains, and then tied up.
Hong and Lin on the side also changed their faces when they heard this.
Although the three people present were not very afraid of those cultists, what about the other students, especially the new students and those ordinary students?
Aldrich Academy is not the kind of compulsory full-time school, and those cultists will definitely not dare to make trouble in the school, but what about those day students who do not live in the school?
"Lin, I still have classes to go to class in the afternoon, and I will talk to the principal here at the school, and it will be troublesome for you to investigate outside, so be sure to act quickly."
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Merlin didn't delay anything, and said to Lin at the moment.
"Hmm"
The nun nodded, at this time she had no usual peace, and her style of action was very decisive with the decisiveness of a former soldier, she didn't stop, and left directly with red.
"Ah, unfortunately, how do I keep getting into so many troublesome things."
Merlin looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, sighed, and then got up and walked to Cynthia's office.
He has no good way to take care of the students in the school, so he can only use his invincible sister to think of a way.
