Chapter 31: Before the Investigation

Demon Castle, Demon King Palace.

"You're saying that Artevans doesn't want to be the commander of my guard." Sack had a look of disappointment on his face when he heard the news from Sheola, "So, what else did he say?"

"Mr. Atfans said that he only wanted to live here in peace for a while, and did not want to get involved, and he also said that he hoped that His Majesty would understand."

After leaving the residence of Atvance, Sheola returned directly to the castle, and immediately went to the Demon King's Hall to report the situation to Sak.

However, Artevans never explicitly told Siola that he would not choose between Dvoga and Zac. Now, instead of Artevans, Sheola has rejected Sark's invitation.

"Yes, it's a pity, I thought I could add a fighting force to the demons. But since this is his intention, then I can only understand. If it's all right, stand down.'" With that, Sack waved his hand and motioned for Theola to leave.

Sheola saluted and left the palace.

Leaving the palace, Siola went straight back to her room. The moment she grasped the doorknob before entering the room, she suddenly paused and looked around. After making sure there was no one around, she turned her back and pressed against the door.

"I'm afraid it's a little dangerous for you to come to me at this time." Sheola whispered.

"Why did you refuse His Majesty the Demon King instead of him?" There was a slight sound from behind the door.

Sheola didn't enter the room immediately because she realized that there was someone in her room the moment she was about to open the door, and she quickly realized who it was.

"Do you mean Mr. Atfans?" When he accepted my request, I knew that he would not choose either His Majesty or the Dvogars. If he had already made his decision, then he would not have to accept my request at all.'

"Do you believe he can find the mole?"

"If it's Mr. Artevans, it's just a no-brainer." Sheola's tone was affirmative.

"You're a lot like your mother, you're so smart and calm." The person behind the door seemed to sigh.

"But Mother still hasn't escaped death, has she?" Sheola's face sank suddenly.

There was silence behind the door, as if he didn't know how to respond.

"If you want to ask me if I still hold a grudge, I can answer, yes." Sheola turned around and prepared to open the door and enter the room, "I'm coming in, staying outside for too long and being found out might cause unnecessary trouble."

Theola paused for a few seconds, then pushed the door open, only to see that the room was empty. Still, Sheola could feel the remnants of the person who had been talking to her behind the door.

"However, I now have a complete plan." Sheola said to herself silently.

————————————

Two days had passed since Sheola's request had been accepted, and Artevans was not in a hurry. The entire Diemol area is not big, but it is not small to say small, and if you don't narrow the scope first, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

It was indeed difficult for Artevans to investigate in this area of Dimor, which he was not familiar with.

Besides, if there is really a mole, then he will definitely not be stupid enough to be fixed in a certain place, and he may even leave Dimor. At least, Artevans had such speculations.

Sitting on the bed in his room, Artevans, with black mist attached to his fingers, hung in mid-air to sketch a map of Dimore City within his cognitive range, but it didn't seem to be going well.

"Ask for the help of Lord Sheola, or maybe it will ...... Be better.' Rusa, who was sitting in a chair next to her, couldn't help but say as she watched Artevans sketch out the map there.

Artevans stopped and nodded.

Although he was a little reluctant to ask Sheola for help, but thinking that he was originally helping Sheora find the traitor, Artevans felt that he didn't need to be too polite.

He took out the pendant that Sheola had given himself and injected it with magic. But the pendant only gave off a flash of light, and nothing happened.

It occurred to Artevans that Sheola hadn't told him how to use it, and that the magic that had been infused into the pendant was only a guess based on his own experience, and for a moment he didn't know how to establish contact with Sheola.

Turning her head to look at Rusha, she gave an embarrassed expression and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know how to use it.

(With Sheola's personality, there's no way she'll forget to tell me how to use it, unless she's deliberately not saying it.) Pendants...... )

Artevans thought about it and hung the pendant around his neck. The moment it was hung around its neck, the pendant shimmered with purple light. Atfans was surprised to find that the pendant that Sheola had given him had merged with the skull pendant he was wearing.

After the fusion, there is an extra small spar on the forehead of the skull pendant decorated by the skull, which is also the spar on the pendant given by Sheola.

From the slightly surprised look on Artevis' face, he didn't know why this was happening. At the same time, Artevans also felt that there was more energy contained in the skeleton pendant.

(Was it a coincidence, or did she plan it in advance.) No, although the master didn't tell me what this skull pendant was, judging from the energy originally contained in it, it should be an item of the demon clan left by his father. However, I always felt that something was wrong. )

Just as Artevans was thinking about why the two pendants were fused together, Sheola's voice suddenly sounded in his head, "Is there any need for Mr. Artevans to find me?"

(Already connected...... )

"I remember that the exchange of ideas only requires mental resonance, so what is the purpose of the pendant?" Artevans replied to Sheola with his mind.

"The pendant itself was just an introduction for me to establish a resonance with Mr. Artevans on the Core, and the secret exchange of ideas between the demons requires the resonance of the Demonic Core in addition to the Nightmare. With this pendant, the exchange of ideas between us can be more private, and we will not be disturbed by other spiritual forces. However, it seems that the situation of resonance is not very good.'

After listening to Sheola's words, Artevans immediately realized that Sheola's voice was a little choppy and sometimes a little unclear compared to the first time she used her mind to speak to her. Despite not having much of an impact on him, Artevans was a little confused.

(Is it a fusion with the skull pendant?) However, I can't let her know about my skull pendant yet, so since the impact of communication is not great, let's make do with it. )

"Don't worry about this yet, I want to ask what the structure of the entire Dimore area is?" Artevans chose to ignore the pendant for the time being, and directly clarified the purpose of finding Sheola.

"Do you want to narrow down the investigation by understanding the structure of Dimoror and finding out where the necromancers might be secretly invading?" As you deserve to be Mr. Artevans, the plan is quite reasonable.' Sheola replied with a compliment.

"Since you can guess my intentions, you don't need to praise me, and you don't want the Necrons to launch the next invasion before I find the traitor."

Artevans was not surprised at Sheola's cleverness at this time, and he felt that no matter how accurate Sheola's guess was later, it would be reasonable.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm going to give you a rough description of the entire structure of Dimor......" Sheola laughed dryly, and then straightened her tone.

……

"If nothing else, I'll take my leave, and I wish you all the best." As soon as Sheola spoke, Artevans felt disconnected from Sheola's thoughts.

With a wave of his hand, Artevans gathered the black mist into what Sheola called the structure of Dimor.

The entire area of Diemore is divided into Diemore City and Diemore Wild. There were no gates in the city of Diomore, and there were four roads leading to it, and there were barriers at the borders of the non-roads to prevent anyone from entering the city from a location that was not the entrance to the road.

The Diemor Wild, on the other hand, is the woods that connect the city of Diemore with the neutral area of Yelan. There are also sparse buildings in the woods, but most of them are houses of demon soldiers patrolling the wilderness, and a few are the houses of demon workshops and workshop owners.

As in the case of Diemor City, there are only four ways to enter the Diemor Wild from Yeland, and the Diemore border is also an enchantment that blocks access everywhere except for the four roads.

The topography of the Dimore border is also different, with the southern and northern borders being wooded, while to the west is a tall and narrow mountain and to the east is a river.

If you look down from the air on the road from Yelan to Dimmor City and then to Dimore City, the four roads into Dimore are due east, south, west, and north, while the four roads into Dimore City are staggered, from the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast.

In the Dimore Field, the location of the workshop is located in the Dimore Field near the Dimore City, where there is a circular road that connects the four roads coming in from the periphery of the Dimore Field and the four roads extending out of the Dimore City, a total of eight roads.

After the attack on Dimor, according to Sheola, there was nothing unusual in the buildings in the city, in other words, the Necrons were not lurking in the city from the beginning.

"In other words, it's possible for the Necrons to come in from wherever they come from, after all, as long as they pass through that ring road, they can change the direction of entering Dimor." Artevans muttered to himself as he looked at the map he had drawn suspended in mid-air.

"But in two directions...... Unlikely.' Rusha looked at the map and said suddenly.

"Tell me about it." Artevans became intrigued by Rusa's words and wanted to hear how she analyzed them.

"The mountains to the west are too expensive to climb. To the east, the Necrons fear the current. They entered the ...... of Dimore The way can only be ...... Woods.'"

"That is, the south and the north, then let's go separately, you go to the south." Atvance retracted the black mist and spoke to Rusa.

"Understood!" Rusha replied, then turned back into her original form and left the room.
