Chapter 108: The Beginning of the Next Phase
Got a new discovery?
The superior evil spirit remained indifferent in his heart.
It wields almost all of Etandin's power and power, and if it can't find any clues left by the 'broker', it will definitely advise its boss to leave immediately.
Because, there are only two possibilities for such an outcome.
First, the Broker has power far beyond his imagination and that of his boss, turning the world in front of him into his own backyard.
And the second?
It's a trap!
A trap that drags its own boss here.
Although the time it takes to enter a dungeon world is almost incalculable compared to a huge city.
But sometimes a few minutes can change everything, let alone 1-3 hours.
According to the plan of the 'brokers', it is not impossible that the entire huge city will be overturned.
Thankfully, not the worst of the two.
Without any adjustment, the superior evil spirit showed Gersack's habitual solemn expression.
"What discovery?"
The superior demon asked.
"It's a few strongholds."
"It should be the back hand left by the messenger of that one."
"We've all caught them and they're being interrogated."
Wolft replied.
Then the Southern representative added.
"I'll get a confession as soon as I can."
"Councillor Etfen will not stand in the way of this."
Wolft likes and adapts to the current atmosphere of cooperation, and he doesn't want some unnecessary misunderstandings to occur.
"It's good to have a clue."
"As for Councillor Etfen?"
"I know him."
The superior evil spirit replied like this, but the solemnity on his face did not decrease at all, but became more and more solemn.
Holleka, who had been standing next to her without opening, stood up very cooperatively.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Hollaika asked.
"Our initiative is being lost, and everything needs to be done as soon as possible."
"The one didn't notice that we found him before, and now with these strongholds being attacked, guess...... How will that person react? β
The superior demon replied.
Wolft was taken aback.
He had just been thinking about how to stabilize the interior and didn't think anything more.
Now, with the reminder of the superior evil spirit, he immediately came back to his senses.
Oh, yes!
Although they didn't have many clues before, they also occupied the 'initiative'!
Now it's completely exposed.
What would that guy do?
Thinking about it, Wolft's forehead began to sweat.
"Wolft."
Suddenly, the superior demon called the name of the southern representative.
"What's the matter, Your Excellency?"
Wolfett asked, bowing.
"Be careful, the real battle has just begun!"
"Convey my words to Atfen as they are."
The superior demon commanded.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Wolft nodded immediately, and instead of dodging, he contacted Councillor Atfen very directly.
The representatives of the South did not see themselves as the need to dodge.
After all, the two sides are now allies.
What's more, they are an organization in their own right.
Watching Wolft's movements, the superior evil spirit remained silent, and chuckled inwardly.
Subtly is the scariest thing.
And what other abilities are better than its [Evil Spirit's Intuition] and [Illusion]?
The longer the contact, the more it can grasp the other person's heart and guide it on the side.
There will be no anomalies or alertness.
All of them, the person will just think that is what they want to do.
Even, riddled with serious crimes, I don't know it.
The reason why evil spirits are called evil spirits is that they are called evil spirits.
It's because it's so terrifying.
Pity......
Doesn't use it against your own boss.
It had never seen a person as vigilant and calm as its own boss, and that sense of vigilance had long gone beyond the realm of mortals and reached a certain level of transcendence.
Whether it is talent or nurture, the upper evil spirit does not know.
It only knows that its boss can sleep with its eyes open if necessary.
Soon, the firing array was set up.
The nominal representative of the Southern Councillors, the phantom of Atfen, appeared in the room.
"Good morning, Gersack."
The other party is still a friendly greeting.
However, the attitude of the superior evil spirit is extremely cold.
"I don't want to talk to you, Wolft will tell you everything."
The superior demon said.
Then, I really shut up.
The superior evil spirits who had consulted Gersack's memories knew very well what kind of existence Aitfen, the representative of the Southern Councillors, was.
In addition to the label of the smiling tiger, the other party also has the best strength among the southern councilors, and is tenacious, careful, and full of wisdom, and every dilapidated small fishing village can be run into a huge port by the other party.
For such a guy, the superior evil spirit is not to be dealt with.
Even if it thinks it can play Gersack well, who can guarantee that it won't be seen by the other party?
Therefore, from the very beginning, the superior evil spirits adopted a strategy of 'alienation'.
Make the other person think that it wants to escape.
But he had to be chained here to fight against the 'one' who didn't exist.
In fact, the strategy of the superior evil spirits was quite successful.
Seeing Gersak's performance, Etfen didn't have any suspicions, but after smiling politely, he began to question Wolft, and after hearing Wolft's report, the representative of the Southern Councillor waved Wolft to leave, and similarly, Hollaika also asked about the superior evil spirit, and left the room for a while.
"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
"Don't use the excuses you just made."
"You can think of it, I can think of it, everyone is not stupid."
Atphine curled the false friendliness slightly, and asked dryly.
"I need a boat to leave the Cheka Bay."
The superior evil spirit said in a deep voice.
"Are you kidding?"
Atfen's phantom frowned.
"No, I'm serious."
"From the very beginning, I thought your confrontation was useless."
"And now, I think so."
The superior demon took a deep breath and roared as if venting.
"Calm down, Gersack."
"The situation is now in our favor!"
Atphine frowned, persuading Gersack.
"Proneficial?"
"Think about your gains!"
"It's been a week!"
"What did you find?"
"And then, have you thought about what you're going to face?"
The superior demon continued to roar, as if he had not heard the persuasion at all.
Looking at Gersack in this state, Atfen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
"You've seen 'the one'!"
"yes!"
"You must have seen that."
"Otherwise, how could you be scared."
"The Gersack I know is not like you, only the frightened Gersack can become so cowardly!"
Atphine blurted out, and then, the more he spoke, the more affirmative.
"It's better to be cowardly than to die!"
"And you think death is the end?"
"That one is far more cunning and ruthless than you think, do you think you can get anything out of those captives?"
"Tell you, don't be delusional!"
"Guess...... Could these captives be traps? β
When he said this, a malicious smile appeared on the face of the superior evil spirit.
Atphine's brow furrowed even tighter.
And thenβ
Rumble!
A huge explosion came from Atphine, so much so that Atphhan's phantom trembled.
Atfen's face suddenly became distorted and unsightly.
The superior demon laughed.
Hahaha.
In the midst of such laughter, Atphine disappeared for a moment.
The superior evil spirit continued to laugh a few times before thinking with a solemn face.
Of course, it's also a show.
Everything was just as the boss thought.
The 'brokers' habitual 'one light and one dark' strategy.
The 'captives' that can be found will only be traps, and will remind the real and valuable 'shadows' to evacuate.
Or......
Simply destroy.
"What a troublesome opponent!"
The superior evil spirit commented like this.
For an opponent like the 'broker', the easiest way it can think of is to carry out a decapitation plan on the opponent before the opponent starts the layout.
Besides?
There is no other way.
Once you let the other person unfold the layout, you have no idea where to start.
Because, you don't even know what the other person wants.
Moreover, even if the beheading program is implemented, it will be difficult.
The 'broker' is not a brave man.
He will definitely think clearly about his own safety, and in the same way, he will also be heavily arranged.
The high-ranking evil spirit, who was thinking about how to attack the 'broker' directly, raised its head only after the phantom of Atfen reappeared.
Atphany is the same as before.
However, the superior evil spirit can detect the horror in the other party's eyes.
Obviously, the other party has encountered a situation beyond imagination.
And that's what he wants.
"Got it?"
The superior demon asked.
This time, Atphine didn't speak right away.
After a few seconds of silence, the representative of the Southern Congressman spoke.
"Do you have a place to stay in the Southern Islands?"
The other party asked.
"It's not big, but it's still possible to safely accommodate a few people."
The superior demon replied.
"Count me in then."
"I will provide the necessary ships, sailors and supplies."
After saying this, Atfen was like a deflated ball, and the whole person shriveled there, and he muttered to himself in a low voice: "Chekawan...... Nope. β
β¦β¦
The Cheka Bay disappeared from Etandin's map in the explosion and firelight.
In the afternoon, Etaninburgh received such news.
Suddenly, people were shocked and panicked.
He even began to severely reprimand the gunpowder factory for its inaction.
That's right, what the Etandin royal family announced to the public was the leakage of gunpowder from the gunpowder factory.
As for the real reason?
Only a few people know.
And these people who know are all nervous and like facing a great enemy.
For example: Privy Bishop Motor, who was invited into the game by Qin Ran.
The Privy Counsellor has just received information.
He went from being one of the two privy councilors to being the only one and only privy bishops.
His old friend, the archbishop's contender, was killed by a sudden explosion while he was watching the torture of 'the captive'.
Including the more than ten elite priests who accompanied him, they all returned to the paradise of the god of war.
What happened?
That's what Motor wants to know.
Therefore, he borrowed the magic of the 'God of War': the Eye of War.
He wanted to see a clue about it.
However, nothing came of it.
He could only blame a huge crater.
Here, it was supposed to be the Cheka Bay, a port so wealthy that even Etaninburgh would have envied it.
Right now......
Only crystals formed by high temperatures remain.
Everything vaporized in an instant.
Including those layers of arcane protection.
Of course, it's not that the arcane protection is not the best.
Otherwise, not a few people would have survived.
But among them, there are no of them.
Damn it!
Finding nothing, Motor, who saw what was clearly a member of the 'Silent Night Secret Order', slapped the table angrily.
The Privy Counsellor then began to think about how to minimize the impact.
The Chekawan, that's where the Temple of the God of War focuses on.
The wealth that the port brings is well known.
For the need for wealth, the Temple of the God of War is no exception.
Therefore, another privy councilor went there to build another cathedral of the God of War, and continuously imported the living power of the Temple of War into the Chekawan.
Compared to Etaminburg, which has become a foregone conclusion.
That's where it's more suitable for investment.
This is the consensus of all.
More than half of the power of the Temple of War is there.
Now it's all gone!
The loss is not only the highest-end combat power, but also the most terrifying loss of the backbone.
Motor was shocked to find that the Temple of the God of War had suddenly entered a stage of lack of success.
The gap must be filled quickly!
Motor pondered, and naturally thought of the young knight: Gino.
The other party is loyal.
Young and energetic.
As for strength?
The gift of the crown is enough to solve everything.
Moreover, having the other person set an example is enough to attract people's attention and give him time to deal with this loss.
"Let Gino come to me."
Motor said to one of the deacons on duty.
"Yes, sir."
The deacon immediately bowed down.
Moments later, young Gino appeared in front of Motor.
The relatively handsome appearance, a smooth knight's armor, walking neatly and windy, and the aura of the glorious sword at the waist gave the young man a sharp but uncompelling aura.
Motor nodded silently.
Very good!
He needs such a pawn.
"Kid, you're doing amazingly."
"So, you're worthy of the honor."
"I will arrange for you to receive the 'blessing' of my Lord, and you will become a truly powerful warrior!"
Motor, who had made up his mind, spoke.
He spoke straight to his thoughts.
Then, just as he expected, the young man in front of him froze in place.
"IβAm I qualified?"
The young man asked in a trembling tone.
"Of course."
"There is no one more qualified than you."
"Go get ready."
"Tomorrow at noon, it will be time for you to have a baptism."
Motor said with a smile, the indisputability of his sentence that made Gino refute again.
The young knight thanked Motor again before turning away.
When he returned to his room, the young knight had a dark look in his eyes.
It can't be delayed any longer......
really
Do you still want to do it?
I don't want to.
I just want to live.
Tangled, apprehensive, hesitant.
Layers of nets, so that young Gino does not know what to do.
But his hand involuntarily grasped the [Sword of Radiance (Replica)].
The next moment-
Boom!
The sword was drawn and slashed straight at the scabbard.
Syllable!
With a crisp sound, the scabbard was directly cut off.
An ominous black began to spill over.
