The moonlight in the dark starry sky shrouded the hazy coastline, reflecting the repeated rippling tides into a shimmering ripple.

After a brief lull, a green fish's head with flattened fins suddenly emerged from the water not far from the beach, and slowly "grew" until an ugly fishman with a rusty harpoon emerged.

The fish-man staggered out from beneath the surface of the sea, with a gill-like textured face, a dark green body that was short, a large belly, and feet with mucous membrane-like flippers.

When it appeared, it first looked left and right at its surroundings, and then roared hoarsely in the direction of a fishing village not far from the beach, as if declaring war.

However, it was only halfway through its roar before it suddenly turned into a terrible scream.

It was only because a huge palm suddenly poked out of the sea water behind him, slammed it to the ground, and then pressed it into a pool of fish-man mud with bulging eyes and screaming.

The owner of the huge palm then stepped out from beneath the surface of the sea.

It was a giant with dense black eyes on its face and viscous gray-white skin, covered with seaweed, and its body was huge, more than ten meters tall.

At the same time, it was obviously heavy, and the ground even trembled faintly when it walked on the sand.

And when it roared in the direction of the fishing village not far away, like the fishman before, the movement caused was much more obvious than that of the fishman, both dull and loud, like the muffled thunder brewing in the dark clouds during the rainy season!

Its roar seemed to open a door, and behind it it saw the same giants emerge from the water and step onto land.

And behind these giants, a large number of green-skinned fish-people crawled out from under the surface of the sea, densely packed, as if endless.

It wasn't long before the beach was completely overrun by a great shadow and black fish-men, who, after wandering in place, rushed like a flood in the direction of the fishing village, accompanied by a fierce roar.

The screen pauses.

……

"This is the latest CG picture sent by the Ministry of Intelligence, and from this analysis, the negotiation between humans and the Sea Clan should have failed."

In the long meeting room, where the long table was filled, a middle-aged man in a bespectacled suit said solemnly in front of a picture that filled an entire wall.

"This will inevitably cause the already turbulent kingdom of Pharos to plunge into even greater chaos."

As he spoke, the laser speech pen in his hand was pressed, and the paused CG picture dissipated, and a complex context map emerged.

"The main reason is obviously that the Sea Clan learned of the changes in the royal capital of Pharos, and the deep-seated reason is that the main creator of the great change in Pharos, Morning Star."

As he spoke, he gestured with a laser pointer to a numbered black avatar at the top of the vein map.

"It is known that the name Morning Star corresponds to the Lord of Pain, one of the Seven Demon Kings of Hell, and we don't have much information about him, probably just because he is very young, his rise is fast, and the relationship with other Demon Kings is generally not good."

"Of course, the theme of this meeting is not to explore the history of this demon king, so this point will not be discussed for the time being, I will talk about the main line that we know so far."

As he spoke, he pressed the speech pen in his hand, so that the seemingly complicated vein map instantly lost most of the veins, leaving only a clue at the core.

The clues are marked by pictures, including a boy with black hair and black eyes, an angel with golden armor, a huge sculpture descending from a hazy background, and a young nobleman baptized on one knee.

"Going backwards from the sinking of the last Pharos king, we can connect the events of the transgender of the King of Fear, the arrival of the angels of the Ibiza Seal, and the awakening of a god."

"With the rest of the information, we can know that these events form a relatively clear vein."

"Originally, a reincarnated angel awakened and was led to this sealed place to fight against the Morning Star who broke the seal, but failed and only sealed a minor female devil."

The middle-aged man with glasses pointed to the penultimate angel advent picture with a laser pointer as he spoke, so the picture was enlarged to form a video screen -

A faceless angel in golden armor armed with a spear instantly turned into a golden streamer and rushed towards the dark red female demon, and then pinched it into a dark red crystal.

"There's something to be said about it."

The middle-aged narrator in the conference room said firmly: "Because with the control of the Covenant Church in the Radiant World, if they knew about the existence of the sealing place here and the corresponding seals, it would be impossible for them to send only one newly awakened divine favorite, so it was an accident that this divine favored person named Bernie arrived at the sealing place, or it was a guide from forces outside the church. ”

"And since the result of the Sealed Land incident is that Morning Star broke the seal, then referring to the background of Morning Star's identity that we have learned, we can guess that it is a hellish force that led the Divine Favor to come, with the purpose of tracking down or capturing Morning Star who escaped from hell on his back."

As he spoke, he rewinded the screen in front of him to the image of a young man dragging a woman towards a large sealing stone door.

"According to our investigation afterwards, the surname of this female devil is Darkfire. And the surname Darkfire belongs to the Lord of Fear in Hell. ”

As he spoke, he gestured with a laser pointer to the unconscious woman in the frame who was being dragged by the arm.

"So, based on the result of the whole clue that King Pharos sank, the Sealed Land incident was the first time that the Fear King, who was weakened in the human world, tried to attract the church to target the Morning Star but failed."

"Note that the winner of this struggle is Morningstar, and this event also sets the stage for his next victory."

The screen pushes back, and the laser pointer finally aims at a white paper that the golden angel who took out of the white sarcophagus after sealing the female devil.

"The existence of this book has spawned a trap in Mulberry City, and the King of Fear who stepped on this trap ran angrily to the king of Falos, Coverdale, and then the two sides should have engaged in another secret fight."

"The final result is known to everyone, the archangel who suddenly appeared sealed everything in the city at the cost of Coverdale, including the demon king inside."

He pushed his glasses as he spoke, "But is it really that simple?" ”

"Being able to successfully trap the King of Fear in the initial White Paper Trap, would Morningstar really be sealed so easily?"

There were a lot of people sitting in the room, but no one answered the question.

The middle-aged man didn't need others to pick him up, so he could answer himself.

"To speculate on this, we can go back to the Mulberry City node. The Lord of Dreads fell into the trap and ran to the Pharos capital, apparently believing that the Morning Star was hiding in the Pharos capital. ”

"However, according to our previous judgment, the most likely candidate for the Morning Star is not in the royal capital, but in another city, or in other human kingdoms that also belong to the Eastern Continent."

Speaking of which, the middle-aged man with glasses used a speech pen to operate the image on the big screen kept regressing, and finally clicked on one of the pictures on the complex context map and enlarged it.

A black-robed woman with beautiful long red hair, tear moles in the corners of her eyes, and an extremely behaving face emerged.

"Her name is Lilith, and she was the initiator of the witch rebellion in the Kingdom of Gunther a month ago."
