Low 758 - The Lord's Little Trick
In a darkened room, Andurudar lay quietly on a chaise longue, enjoying the riots he had caused.
The rumored strongest heroic treasure, the 'Clock of Time Eater', was indeed stolen by it.
It's a pity that I don't know what means the great sage of the human race used, no matter what Andurudar did, he couldn't use this pocket watch-shaped treasure.
"It's not enough, it's not enough...... I'm going to keep adding fuel to the mess and make things even more chaotic! ”
Patting his bare head, Andurudar muttered softly.
Because those legends have gradually reached the relationship of Stein City, even it can no longer appear in front of the public without scruples - God knows if any legend will be able to see his disguise at a glance, and when the time comes, in Stein City, which is surrounded by powerful enemies, even as the Lord of Fear, will have only one way to fall.
However, not being able to go out at will is not directly related to whether it can make the whole city more chaotic, whether it is to hypnotize those weak-willed mercenaries through guò hypnosis, or to hire thugs to spread rumors.
As Andrudar pondered in silence what could be done to make the entire Salvation Army even more chaotic, there was an aggressive knock on the door.
Andurudar's appearance immediately changed from that of the Demon King to that of a thin old man, with a hunched back, white hair, one eye that looked as if he were blind, his skin full of wrinkles, and bulging green tendons between his neck.
"What's the matter?"
Opening the door, Andurudar asked the heavily armed city guards outside.
'His' voice sounded as old as it looked. The feeling of being intermittent makes people feel as if he is about to die at any moment.
"Don't be nervous, old sir, this is just our routine inspection, there have been a lot of people spreading rumors recently, I hope you can pay close attention to the suspicious people around you, so as to find out the spy sent by the abyss."
Seeing that the door was opened by an old man with goosebumps, the attitude of the young and vigorous city guard immediately became much softer - Stein is not an ancient city, but a war fortress built out of thin air by human powerhouses in order to confront the abyss demons, and the old man who can be qualified to live in this city is not the relatives of the meritorious soldiers. It is a veteran who has made great contributions to mankind.
Either way. The city guards would not be offended, in fact, he respected these old men from the bottom of his heart.
"It's a good routine check-up...... Back then, Howard and I also conducted routine inspections and found out a lot of spies......"
Andurudar continued to pretend to be an old man, casually telling nonsense lies.
At the same time, it also allows the city guards to enter the house to inspect - as a demon king, if it also allows ordinary humans to find evidence or clues about his evil. Then this demon king is too much of a failure......
And in the eyes of the city guards. This rickety old man, who had been their predecessor, suddenly became taller.
In the end, the city guards naturally found nothing as expected.
After apologizing to Andrudar. A group of talents left this generation in a grand way.
After Guò's own perceptual ability confirmed that the other party had gone away, the corners of Andurudar's mouth showed a dark arc, and he did not continue to pretend to be hunchbacked. Straightened up and closed the door with a sneer.
"Let this kind of fool be in charge of the safety of the city, it seems that humans really don't take the wisdom of demons seriously." Andurudar couldn't help but feel slighted, but then he laughed again: "Forget it, this kind of fool is a good thing for me as a city guard officer than someone who is shrewd enough to probably find me......"
Once, when he was pretending to be an ordinary person, he attracted the attention of the knights because of his strange words and deeds, and in the end, in order not to reveal his identity, he had to kill a group of knights who discovered his true face, which barely covered up the past.
Sitting back in his soft recliner, Andurudar once again perfected his plan.
Suddenly, a slight thump outside the window interrupted its thoughts once again, making it a little annoyed for a moment.
Pushing open the window and spreading out its palms, a beetle flew into its palm.
It pulled out a blank piece of parchment from the table and tossed the worm onto the paper.
Instantly, the worm was like a toy that had been dismantled, and it turned into countless broken parts, which then the pigsty fainted and became passed down into words, printed all over the parchment.
The bug is not really a creature, and while somewhat similar in nature to the Demon King's Apostle, it is actually a small magic that Andrudar himself has developed.
As one of the Demon Kings, Andurudal, the Lord of Fear, is actually the most special one.
Aside from its penchant for solving problems, it's the only one that doesn't have an apostle of the Demon King.
These bugs barely cause any magical fluctuations, and they can fly to any corner of Stein City except for those legendary mages under the manipulation of Andurudar, and record everything they see and hear in their bodies, and only after collecting the corresponding Cheng Dù's information, will they return to the caster, turning back into words on paper.
Andrudar referred to them as Indobugs.
The messenger kept an eye on Juans, and his encounter with Aesop, as well as Raven's informants, were recorded inside. Even some of the group's conversations as they made their way to the centaur camp were recorded.
Andrudar glanced at ten lines and quickly sifted through them to find useful information.
"St. George. Has Ascalon and another former hero, Sandler, been discovered......"
"Speaking of which, there are three heroes who have betrayed the Salvation Army before...... In addition to the two of them, there should be a Giro. Sigmund Freud was right. ”
"Giraud. Freud ......"
Repeating the name softly, Andurudar felt as if another burning sensation came from his demon's horn, which had been regenerated.
"Damn bastard, sooner or later, I'm going to skewer you with that other equally damn great magician and make a barbecue!"
He muttered through gritted teeth.
"As it turned out, witnesses found that there were three people in the centaur camp, and there was one other person besides St. George and Sandler. Judging by the description, it shouldn't be Giraud, but it's a bit like that damn great magician. ”
Cleverness is used in the wrong place, which is commonly known as the sinister and cunning guys, and nine out of ten are very vindictive.
It's a pity that Andurudar is not the one left.
"No, I'll have to check ......" it muttered to itself, going back and forth twice in the dark and simple room, and finally couldn't hold back, "Anyway, there is only one great magician-level imp and a pure physical enhancement fool who is going over there now, so there is no need to worry." ”
After confirming that the two heroes who were extremely powerful in the eyes of ordinary people were not too much of a threat to him, Andurudar changed his appearance, from a trembling old man who seemed to be ready to return to the west at any moment to a young and strong young man.
It reconfirmed the meeting place of the group as recorded on the piece of paper, and snuck over there, following them to the centaur tent where St. George and Sandler had been witnessed.
――Dividing Line――
"I always feel like someone is watching us from behind."
Aesop looked back a little strangely, but saw no figure.
"Don't worry too much, there are a lot of magicians behind us, and it's normal to feel like you're being watched."
Junes reassured him.
After all, St. George is a famous master of the Imperial Sword Knights, and the fire of infamy in his hand is a model for all soul tools, and it is extremely powerful; And Sandler's bow skills are also very superb, plus the magic bow. The Bird of Paradise is heart-wrenching in terms of attack range and hit rate, not to mention that the Bird of Paradise can also attach various weird effects to the arrows......
Even if they are now heroic betrayers, the record of the two of them as heroes is absolutely unshakable.
Suffice it to say, if they were to be put on their own with the two of them, neither Judes nor Isolt would be sure of victory, and there would even be questions about whether they could hold out for a while.
That's why they used guò to find outside help, the Salvation Army's Magic Fusion Unit, which is simply a mage unit that coordinates spell casting to cast all kinds of large-scale magic.
Perhaps the duel between heroes is not at all intervened by the average magician, but a large group of mages who are fighting separately may be able to interfere with a certain amount of interference, while a large group of magicians who cooperate tacitly can undoubtedly intervene in the battle between the two heroes, and even affect the direction of victory.
Not only Aesop, but even Raven felt a gaze that made her hair stand on end.
Even if she couldn't see anything when she looked back, Raven could already guess that the owner of her sight should be Andurudar, the Lord of Fear.
Before Sivi stepped into the congenital, he had caused Trick and Giraud to join forces to injure Andurudar.
And Raven was also present at that time, so it was no coincidence that Andurudar was able to recognize Raven.
Is this part of Sivi's plan...... Raven muttered to herself.
If Andurudar was going to correct Raven, a bottle of real potion on Raven's body could completely make the other party appear in its original form and become the object of everyone's fire.
On the contrary, if the other party does not do it, there is no solution to it on his side - in fact, there are quite a few people in the magic chorus army, and they are all dressed as if they came out of a mold, so Raven naturally has no way to find the demon king hidden inside.
It wasn't until she got close to the centaur's tent that Aesop made a pause.
"It seems that our actions have been seen through." Junes looked at the two people waiting outside the tent and said softly, "It's a little troublesome." ”
Andurudar looked at Sivi, who was chuckling lightly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes...... (To be continued......)
