The candlelight flickered, stretching the shadows of the two people in the room.

The wind was howling outside the window, and the temperature on the island began to plummet at night.

In the room, Liao Qi, who was behind the girl's words, only felt for a moment, and many of the strange places he had noticed before were explained at this moment.

It's no wonder that the demons here will regard "humans" as a member of the demons.

No wonder...

They will feel that "humans" are the weakest race.

It turns out that in the consciousness of all the demons on the island, the isolated island in this sea area where they are now is...

Their whole world is gone!

Liao Qi, who understood this, did not let go of the stone in his heart.

The absurdity of cognition is actually not terrible.

What really makes Liao Qi feel terrible is what kind of reason "caused" such a ridiculous cognition.

He noticed every change in the expression on Irene's face.

But in the end, I came to the conclusion that...

Even this powerful eldest lady of the Blood Clan Castle, Erin did not have the slightest suspicion about this.

On the other side...

"What's wrong with you?"

Liao Qi has such a big mood swing, and the girl at the desk opposite can naturally feel it.

Erin tapped her fingers on the table and asked very incomprehensibly:

"From the very beginning, you're getting weird."

"Do you think that in the Dreadclaw Sea, there are other demon islands like us?"

The girl's unintentional words made Liao Qi's eyes stare again.

Dreadclaw Sea...

Erin actually knows the name of this place?

Who told them?

In the world of "Prayer Point", humans and demons are opposite on both sides of the world map, with one side occupying the continent and the other with the sea archipelago as the birthplace.

The origin of the name "Dreadclaw Sea" was first initiated by the human empire on the continent.

It's as if before the Age of Discovery, all the countries on the Blue Star considered themselves to be the center of the world.

But under such a premise...

People from one country speak the language of another.

It's no longer a matter of coincidence or not.

This illustrates...

Thinking of this, Liao Qi immediately spoke again, in order to confirm his conclusion, he must understand a few more things.

"Could it be that for so many years, you haven't encountered any demons from the outside world?"

"Or, among you, there has never been a demon who has ever tried to leave this island?"

Liao Qi stretched out his hand and pointed to the blank area on the map.

Demons are not like humans, they have powerful bodies that are born by adapting to nature.

Although the Dreadclaw Sea is plagued by storms all year round, it shouldn't be difficult for the demons to just cross the islands.

However...

"Hmph, if you don't want to die yourself, then I suggest that you better not have such thoughts."

It's like Liao Qi's words, which touched a certain nerve of the girl.

Erin's tone suddenly became unkind.

"I can tell you very clearly that there are demons who want to leave this island in vain, but again, so far, none of them have been able to come back alive."

"There is no second ending except for the result that the body was washed up on the reef by the waves the next day."

When the girl said this, her body trembled slightly.

Next, she didn't seem to be talking to Liao Qi, but muttered a little to herself:

"Obviously, the academy has warned me repeatedly, why, why don't you listen..."

"Academy?"

In total, it was just the two of them in a quiet cabin.

Liao Qi also keenly captured the key word that was mentioned from the girl's mouth.

Pity...

"Enough! These are no longer the things you should care about asking questions. ”

Erin didn't seem to want to talk to Liao Qi anymore.

The girl looked into Liao Qi's eyes, and said word by word in a very solemn tone:

"You just need to know that that academy is the most powerful and mysterious group of demons on the island."

"Since even they affirm this fact, then, no matter what, it has become the truth, and the so-called truth is unquestionable, you, understand?"

Academy...

This is a word that has never left his ears since the beginning of the crossing.

It seems that no matter what happens on the island, there is always a shadow behind it.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After piecing together all the intel and clues...

At this point, Liao Qi is almost there, and he can faintly outline the whole picture behind the whole incident.

But...

Evidence!

He still needs intuitive and clear evidence to verify!

And...

Found...

A reason and purpose for the other party to do this!

"Speaking of which, it can be regarded as I'll give you an advance reward for this mission."

Erin's voice rang out in the room again.

This time, the girl's voice changed, and she brought the topic between the two back to the next "task".

"Early pay?"

"Yes, remember, I promised you, as long as you successfully complete my mission, I will also correspond, help you humans to survive on the archipelago."

Liao Qi, who was behind Erin's words, nodded.

He really hadn't forgotten that on this island, there were more than fifty humans, and now it seemed that it should be...

Indigenous?

At this point, Erin continued to speak.

"Today, I've allowed them to move their gathering place into our Bloodline's territory."

"Relocation of the Colony?"

"Hmph, don't you think that under the rainstorm last night, with the little grass huts and wooden huts of your humans, they can still be intact and unharmed?"

The girl snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

She didn't wait for Liao Qi to open her mouth before she continued:

"As far as I know, the number of you humans who died in the rainstorm that night alone exceeded ten, not to mention the injured and disabled members of the clan."

"To put it more simply, if it weren't for my support today, you humans..."

"I'm afraid that even a month later, that qualifying battle won't be able to support it."

Has it reached this point already...

Liao Qi didn't speak, he was quietly waiting for Erin's next words.

On the other side, the girl looked a little unhappy when she saw Liao Qi being able to calm down like this.

Erin let out another cold snort from the tip of her nose before finally speaking:

"And as a result, I used the resources of our blood clan to help them rebuild the settlement at the price, I have made an agreement with the patriarch among them, and they also agreed, let you..."

The girl here deliberately lengthened her voice, and in Erin's red eyes, there was a hint of amusement.

She looked at Liao Qi and said slowly:

"Let you be their new patriarch."

...

Yes?
