"It's okay to cooperate, but I have three conditions." McGonagall looked at Merante and said calmly.

"You say." There seemed to be a glint in Merlante's blue-white eyes.

"First, after cooperation, I am the leader in all actions, and you must cooperate with the actions and do not act without authorization;

Secondly, our cooperation is completely confidential, and no third party can know about it, and I think this is what you want.

Third, Anne can provide a drop of essence blood, but beyond that, you can't ask for anything more, or I'll end the cooperation in my way. McGonagall said calmly.

Merlant thought for a while, nodded seriously, and said, "I agree to your conditions." ”

Noah's mouth was slightly open, completely unexpected, Merlant would agree to such harsh conditions.

"It's a pleasure to work with." McGonagall picked up her teacup.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Merant and Noah also raised their glasses and drank them all.

After the partnership was confirmed, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Noah collected the tortoise shell and asked with a smile, "Then when are we going to go to catch the devil?" Is that guy really in the City of Chaos? ”

"The City of Chaos is such a big place, and you only found me here, which means that that guy is not here at all." McGonagall shook her head, although the detection ability of the system was not as good as a stone, but if the Old Ruler appeared in the City of Chaos, it would not be completely unresponsive.

"Do you know where he is?" Merant, looking at McGonagall, asked.

"It can only be inferred, yesterday the Los Empire launched a war against the orcs and elves, I found a corpse that had been drained of essence blood at the scene in the Twilight Forest, and found a ghost qi with a strong yin qi, I think this matter should be inseparable from the devil." McGonagall takes out the Gemstone and shows Merlant and Noah the tragic scene of the Twilight Forest taken yesterday.

"This is the slaughter that followed the war." Merant's brow furrowed slightly.

"But this may be a war caused by the devil, and Qiao Xiu, the second prince of the Los Empire, may have sold his soul to the devil, and then took advantage of the king and the great prince to participate in the peace conference in the city of chaos, launched a war, and ordered the slaughter of all the defeated tribes." The play stops on the corpse that has been drained of menstrual blood.

"It's!" Merant stood up and looked at the corpse with some shock.

"You've seen it?" McGonagall asked.

"This is the body left by the people controlled by the devil in order to strengthen their own bodies, and absorb the resentment and blood of the corpse that has just died, five hundred years ago I once met a demon controlled by the devil, when he slaughtered many small villages, the corpses left behind are like this." Merant nodded with a solemn expression, "I didn't expect it to appear again now." ”

McGonagall thought for a moment, which was basically consistent with his inference, and said: "I don't know where to look for the half of the devil who escaped, but Qiao Xiu may be a breakthrough direction, we must find him first, catch him or kill him, and prevent him from growing up and becoming the next devil." ”

"He is the spokesman of the devil, and when he is strong enough, the devil will personally find him and take his body, and we must indeed find him as soon as possible." Merlan nodded.

"Tonight, I'll take you to the Twilight Forest, where he was last seen." McGonagall made an appointment.

"That little girl's blood ......"

"I'll give it to you in the evening."

"Okay, then don't bother." Merlan nodded and took Noah up and left.

McGonagall didn't get up to see her off, but poured herself another cup of tea.

Uniting all forces against the Old Dominator is his primary policy at the moment.

The alliance of anti-old rulers within the Nolan continent has basically taken shape, but now that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, everyone is blind, and it is impossible to determine the location of the devil, and no matter how many people there are, it is useless.

Merlante's tortoiseshell stone is quite mysterious, and he can detect the existence of the devil, and even Anne, who has successfully purified, can be found by him, which shows that he is indeed a bit of a Taoist and has the demeanor of a hidden master.

Before Josiu can do something bigger, he must find him and kill him.

"Father, are those two guys villains just now?" Amy poked her head out of the corner of the stairs and asked McGonagall as she looked at a person drinking tea.

"Not a bad guy." McGonagall smiled and shook her head, beckoning to the little one.

Amy walked up to McGonagall and looked into his eyes, "If you're threatened, blink." ”

"No one threatened me." McGonagall smiled and touched the little one's head, it seemed that she had just gone upstairs and was still worried about him, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"I'm super powerful now, if there are villains who want to hurt my father, you must tell me, and I will help you beat them up." Amy clenched her little fists, "I'm super fierce." ”

"Well, my little tiger is super fierce." McGonagall smiled and nodded, but the little one's attempt to pretend to be fierce was so cute that it was not a deterrent at all, and it made people want to pinch her little face.

"Hee-hee." Amy threw herself into McGonagall's arms and rubbed her little head against McGonagall's chest, "Shall we eat roast goose at night?" ”

……

"Grandpa, can that guy be trusted? Do we really have to do what he commands? Noah followed Merlant out of the Mai Mie restaurant and asked in a low voice.

"I've heard that a young man of the Terran race has been very powerful lately, and has cut down a lot of people, and Benson, Westin, Bruno, etc., have all fallen under his sword." There was a bit of emotion in Merant's tone, these were all strong men of his era.

"You're saying he's Alex!" Noah's eyes widened in shock.

"A thirty-year-old human can give me such a strong oppressive force, there should be no second person besides him." Merant nodded slightly.

"But he is the first knight of the Nolan Continent, a dragon slayer warrior who can slay dragons in the sky, and hacked to death the terrifying existence of the king of forest trolls...... How did you become the owner of a restaurant and a daddy with a baby? Noah still looked incredulous, they had been traveling on the Nolan continent all these years, and he had also heard a lot of rumors, Alex's story was his favorite.

Alex is a legend who has crossed races and become a legend for the entire continent of Nolan.

A human, a sword, and a purple-veined griffin killed the world's strongest men, and also captured the heart of the beautiful elf princess, who has always been regarded as an idol by Noah.

But such a super strong man has now become the owner of a restaurant, a father with three children.

"Everyone has their own lives and secrets, and if you want to live longer, it's best not to try to find out other people's secrets." Merant said lightly.

Noah swallowed back a bunch of questions that came to his lips, glanced back at Maimi's restaurant, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't care about the secret, but I can have a good relationship with my idol, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”

……

"The catastrophe is coming, I wonder if she can afford the responsibility of saving the world...... Outside the gate of the city of chaos, the bishop in a white robe put down his hat and looked at the towers of the city of chaos a little stunned.

"Sir, it's time to go." The people in the queue behind urged.

"I'm sorry." The bishop withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly, and followed the crowd into the city of chaos.

……

"The whole city is on alert, strengthening the inspection of entering the city, and all outposts are monitored around the clock to strictly guard against enemies who may come from all directions."

"Assemble a rapid reaction force and be ready to march to support the Peace Alliance elsewhere."

"War may start at any time, and you must be in good spirits."

Michael said solemnly to the officials of the City Lord's Mansion in the council chamber.

The people dispersed and went to work.

The peace conference was abruptly suspended, the Los Empire launched a war, and the city lord's mansion was quickly thrown into a hurry.

"City Lord, Louis has arrived in the meeting room." Dicks stepped forward and said.

"I'll go over here." Michael took a sip of water from his teacup, got up and walked out, "Are our interrogatories ready?" ”

"Yes, I'm ready, I've rewritten it according to your comments yesterday, and I'm about to show it to you." Dicks nodded.

"Wait, I'll see Louis first." Michael nodded, and his pace quickened a few more points.

After the war began, Michael hardly rested.

I thought that the Los Empire just wanted to add some bargaining chips to the negotiations, but judging from the results, this war has exceeded everyone's expectations, and the methods of the Los Empire are more cruel than the race war back then, slaughtering dozens of tribes of the orc race, almost even the Auger tribe, killing more than 50,000 innocent orcs.

This is a huge blow to the orcs, and it is also an indelible hatred.

The casualties on the elven side were slightly better, the defense of the City of Life was very successful, and Irina's timely arrival also prevented the situation from deteriorating.

However, after being raided by their most trusted neighbors, even the core city was almost breached, and the tree of life was almost destroyed, the elves may no longer be able to trust the Los Empire as an ally.

The various clans have raised their war levels, and the strong ones have stayed in the clan to guard against possible situations.

There is no hope for a peace treaty to continue, a new round of ethnic war could break out at any time, and everyone of all ethnic groups is now in danger.

"Michael, there has been an agreement within the Dragon Clan that if the Los Empire does not respond to this matter satisfactorily to all races, our Dragon Clan will send an expeditionary force to the Los Empire." Louis looked at Michael, who came through the door, and got straight to the point.

Michael sat down opposite Louis, thought for a moment and nodded, "The City of Chaos will respond to the decision of the Dragons in the name of an ally of the Peace Alliance, and will send an elite force to fight against the Los Empire with the Dragons." ”

"Okay, I'll relay your words." Louis nodded, and said, "However, does Alex have any news about the devil?" ”

"I haven't heard anything more from him now, but I'm sure he's been looking into it." Michael shook his head.

"Okay, I'm going to go to the goblin and dwarf tribes now, and if I have any news about the devil, I hope you can tell us about the dragon clan as soon as possible." Louis stood up and said.

"Okay." Michael also got up to see off the guests.

……

Roast goose became an instant hit and became a favorite of gourmets, because of its special taste and wonderful taste, it is irresistible. McGonagall was not surprised by this, and even he himself could not resist the temptation of roast goose.

At the end of the evening, McGonagall purchased a blood extraction preservation device from the system and sucked a drop of blood from Anne's finger.

The two children were a little tired after a long day of playing, and fell asleep before McGonagall could finish her story.

"I've got to know two people from the Oni Clan, they might be able to find Joshua and the Old Ruler who escaped the seal, and I'm going to go with them to the Twilight Forest tonight." McGonagall walked out of the room and said as she looked at Irina, who was leaning against the doorframe.

"That old man looks a little evil, are you sure it's okay?" Irina glanced out the window, where Merant and Noah's grandchildren were already waiting under a tree in the park not far away.

"They found me with a tortoiseshell stone, and said that they sensed the breath of the old ruler in me, and I think he did have some real skills." McGonagall nodded, this kind of human flesh detector was hard to find, and it was obviously more efficient to scan with a radar covering 500 kilometers than to scurry around like a headless fly.

"Be careful." Irina admonished.

"Okay." McGonagall nodded slightly, turned and went downstairs.

"What you want." McGonagall tossed the small crystal bottle to Merlante.

Merlant reached out and took it, holding up the small crystal bottle to the moon, a drop of pale golden blood shining like a jewel.

"Sure enough, it is the purest one, even the blood is so pure." Merlant was a little stunned.

"You...... Hello. Noah, who knew McGonagall's identity, was obviously much more humble, and his gaze at McGonagall also changed a little, and he had a little more admiration.

"Well, hello." McGonagall nodded slightly, he had a good impression of the boy with the hairstyle that killed Matt, and then said, "It's time to go." ”

"Alright, let's go." Merlant carefully put away the small crystal bottle.

Soon after, a purple-striped griffon quietly left the City of Chaos and flew in the direction of the Twilight Forest.

"Should I call you Mr. Alex, or Mr. Mak?" Noah sat next to him, looking at McGonagall a little nervously.

"Whatever you want." McGonagall casually said that Noah had a special meal at the restaurant tonight.

"Then I'll call you Boss Mai, it feels more cordial." Noah grinned and sat down closer to McGonagall, as if their relationship had become much closer after changing a title, "My name is Noah. ”

"The Ark?"

"Huh?"

"Nothing."

"The Ark...... It's okay with this nickname, whatever you call it. Noah smiled, licking the essence of the dog.

"Hmm." McGonagall agreed, ready to close her eyes for a moment.

"I didn't expect you to be a powerful knight and an extremely good chef at the same time, you must have worked very hard, right?" Noah asked, looking at him expectantly.

"No, it's just talent, it has nothing to do with hard work, just like no matter how hard you try, you can't beat me." McGonagall said flatly.

"Uh......"
