Chapter 226: The Real Conspiracy

After the conversation ended, the sky was getting dark, and before leaving, Jade asked the patriarch of Barser to attack the giant cocoon where Liu Xianyu was located with the elements in line with the principle of collecting a little more, and she thought she would definitely make a lot of money, but she was disappointed, it turned out that the combat system that Barser took was a special profession inherited from the Bull Demon Clan, a special route that relied on bloodline talent to strengthen his own flesh and completely abandoned the elements, and belonged to a branch of predators.

Back at the place where Barser had arranged for them, Jade and Xingyue washed up early and lay on the bed, but this time neither of them fell asleep.

[Now, Xingyue, have you slept? 】

[What for?] 】

[Do you think the end of the world is really coming like this?] 】

Hearing the confusion in Jade's voice, Xingyue looked up at the dark night outside the window and said to Jade in a comforting tone.

[It's not that yet, it's just a void passage, as long as it can be closed in time, I believe that the West Country on the other side of the Winterless Forest must have already begun to act, isn't the Goddess Cult the most disgusted with these blasphemous things, maybe now they have sent someone to act. 】

【Goddess Cult...... Tyris-chan didn't know what was going on now, Captain Salted Fish said that she and Anaki had left the Spirit Clan's territory first, but why didn't she come to us for so long? 】

[Instead of worrying about her, it's better to worry about the girl named Anaki, now it seems that the entire matter of the spirit race is set up by Deus, in order to get the seed of the elemental sacred tree, Thelis, as his niece, will definitely not be in danger, but I don't know if he has colluded with the demons, and whether he will participate in the void invasion after this. 】

Xingyue didn't know why Deus, the leader of the Seekers of the Netherworld, was snooping into the abyss, and what kind of agreement he had made with the demons? Did he know about the demons' act of raising fire? Or maybe he was also deceived and became a pawn of the demons.

[Probably not, he's a big lord, how can he have a good life but he has to mix in the destruction of the world, you say, Captain Salted Fish? 】

Jade looked at the giant cocoon placed in the corner of the wall and said, I don't know why Liu Xianyu hasn't spoken much since he came back from the Patriarch of Barser today, and his occasional voice is perfunctory.

(Emerald ...... οΌ‰

Liu Xianyu's voice directly entered Jade's brain, and it sounded very low.

[What's wrong?] Did Captain Salty Fish say he was scared? 】

(I shouldn't have concealed it from you, but Deus is a demon, and he must have done it this time.) οΌ‰

[Eh! Deus turned out to be a demon! 】

Liu Xianyu's words were startled, and Jade shouted.

[What do you say?!] 】

Xingyue listened to Jade's shout and bounced off the bed violently.

[Just now, Captain Salted Fish said that the Great Lord Deus is a demon! ] 】

Xingyue listened to Jade's words and patted the bed hard.

[If Deus is a demon, all this makes sense, so he painstakingly established the Secluded Seeker, everything is fake, he has been raising fire from the beginning, so it will be a big trouble! 】

Even at night, Xingyue still left a cold sweat when she thought of this, and when she connected with all the things she had done as a secluded explorer, Xingyue found that all of this turned out to be a bureau, a long-planned conspiracy.

[That guy has been thinking about all this for a long time!] Not only did he intend to use the Void Invasion to force other races to raise fire, he had already prepared for two things, he was going to start a war in the West! 】

[War? 】

[That's right!] Even before you came to the West Country, he had been secretly collecting magic weapons and items in circulation, and even bought a lot of mage associations in the West Country to help him make weapons! 】

[Wouldn't it?] 】

(Damn, I see!) οΌ‰

Liu Xianyu in the giant cocoon listened to Xingyue's words and suddenly realized, now he finally understood why every time they went to the store to buy magic props after they arrived in the West Country, they were always in short supply, I remember that when they bought enchanted arrows for Tangerine, there was also a shopkeeper who complained to Liu Xianyu that the magic props sold by those mages had become less, and now that I think about it, it must be the result of Deus's collection of weapons for war.

[But...... But he only has one Twilight Ridge, how can he fight against the entire Western Country? 】

[He's not fighting alone, think about the location of Twilight Ridge!] Twilight Ridge is only about three days away from the Neverwinter Forest, and the first human territory that those Elves who have escaped from the Neverwinter Forest encounter is his Twilight Ridge, and he only needs to pay a sufficient price......]

The more Xingyue thought about it, the more frightened she became, and now that she remembered it, it seemed that her every step of the way was covered by the conspiracy of Deuss.

[For example, if you promise the Spirit Clan to give them the land you have beaten down as a new home, how can those Spirit Clan not be moved! ] With the support of nearly 100,000 Spirit Race, it is impossible for the West Country to quell this war in a short period of time, and in the war, no matter which side of the Spirit Race and the Human Race suffer casualties, he is happy to see. 】

Xingyue said excitedly to Jade, but as soon as the words fell, she immediately thought of other things.

[Nope! Wrong! Not only that, but once the country of the west is plunged into a large-scale civil war, the most dangerous enemy in the true sense of the word is actually on the other side of the strait! 】

[On the other side of the strait, don't you say that our country will take the opportunity to start a war? No, we just had a friendly exchange with Nishinokuni last year! 】

Emerald had an incredulous expression on her face.

[That's right, friendly exchange! Nishinokuni ...... Who were the ambassadors of Nishinokuni last year? That person must have befriended a lot of great nobles during the friendly exchange, and he must have before the war begins, no, maybe now that the war has begun, we must ask that person to convince the nobles of our country not to let the king start a war. 】

Xingyue sprang up from the bed and quickly put on her clothes, and she was terrified by the horror hidden in the dark corner she spied inadvertently.

[That...... Xingyue, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that the person who had a friendly exchange last year was that Deus, and it was he who took Theris with him when he left, which is why we came to the West to find Theris. 】

Jade sat on the bed and looked at Xingyue who was at a loss.

After listening to Jade's words, Xingyue's hands began to tremble, everything was like a big net woven in the dark, when you found a thread, pull it hard, and what appeared in front of you was a well-made trap, these traps were linked one by one, and all your retreats had already been blocked.

[Yes, how could he let go of such a key place in the country of the east...... Everything is going according to his plan, and we, the only ones who have the potential to know about his conspiracy, are trapped in the Demon State by the Void invasion and can't get out, two months, two months have passed, and it is possible that everything will be late. 】

Xingyue sat on the ground and didn't even care about the clothes that were half-worn, just pulled on her body like that.
