Chapter 114: Tracing the Trace

The Wolf Witch's question was not answered. Although Sander has been the lord of the night of the Iron Keep for many years. But he really knew very little about the cult of evil gods. This makes sense, not everyone can easily identify the cultists from the general population, and a little power from the objects of these fanatics is enough to make it impossible for most people to find their location. This is not a question of whether the power of the evil gods is strong or not, in the final analysis, these evil gods themselves are not recognized by the world, and their power can naturally avoid the eyes of most people in this world. In many cases, even those who have experienced the power of evil gods can hardly make a coherent summary of the characteristics of those cultists, after all, they are beyond the common sense of this world.

"Cultists, plague demons, I think the appearance of these two things is not accidental. Cheese thought for a moment and said, "Fallen faith or demons, they are not mushrooms after the rain, and they will not suddenly appear in the Iron Castle. And I think that before this, the entire Grey Lion Kingdom probably did not have any signs of these two existences being active, otherwise the two of them and the city lord would not be ignorant of this. So now there seems to be only one explanation for these guys who have suddenly appeared, doesn't it?"

"You mean, the people who spread the plague are in league with them?" said the vampire with a frown, not a good guess. If the mage's conjecture is correct, then it means that the current problems facing the Iron Keep may be even more difficult than the worst imaginable.

"It can't be, as far as I know, those who believe in evil gods are quite xenophobic, and they are unlikely to summon or cooperate with demons. Louise said that, like fanatics of other religions, the cultists did not like all beings who did not believe in anything different from their beliefs, and not only humans, but also other races that did not believe in the alien gods they worshipped, including demons. No demon would believe in evil gods, and those who only think about power and destruction have no time to find spiritual support.

"Yes, neither the demon nor the evil god sacrifice are like to find companions, but is it possible, I mean is possible, the person who holds this degraded version of the nezumi virus is not one of these two parties, but a third force. And this kind of force, at the cost of what we don't know, turns both the demon and the evil god sacrifice into temporary helpers. That's why what happened on our first night, so the explanation doesn't make sense. Cheese said.

"Do you know what this means? The existence of paying both parties to the satisfaction of both parties is probably difficult to solve with the current strength we have. Sander said, and since he said so, it means that Cheese's hypothesis is indeed the most likely option.

"Anyway, our priority now is to find these guys first. If we can't even find where they are, then it's useless to speculate any more. And no matter what the other side wants to do in the Iron Keep, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. The mage shook his head and said.

Louise and Sander looked at each other after hearing this, although they still had concerns about the strength of the enemy, but as the mage said, the current situation was completely in the hands of the other party, and if you want to turn the passive into the active, you must find the enemy's position.

"Well, I'll admit you're right. But now the question is, how do we find them? While we've dealt with these hapless knights, I don't think even you can find any clues in these discarded test pieces. Shander said.

Cheese listened to the vampire's words and smiled. Because it meant that as soon as he suggested a way to find these enemies, Sander and Louise would go with him, which was a crucial thing. In this offensive and defensive battle around the Iron Castle, Cheese seems to be the most irrelevant people, after all, the safety of the Iron Castle has nothing to do with them. But in fact, the Cheese Boss was the one who wanted to resolve the incident quickly, because the mage knew that for every second of delay here, his enemies in the royal capital would likely become stronger. So he wants a quick fix.

"Don't worry, since I said so. There is a certainty that you will find them. In fact, I've always had the clue, but I wasn't sure that anyone I could find had anything to do with it, but now, I'm sure the guy who sneaked into my dream must know something. "The mage was talking about the incident that he had been attacked in a dream when he was resting at Sander's house before, and Cheese didn't make a noise about it, because no matter who attacked him, he had already been severely put on the face by the mage in that dream, but now it seems that this person may be a breakthrough in the investigation.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to trace the initiator of the attack by following the subtle connection of someone else's invasion of his dreams. But it's not impossible for cheese. When the mage was still an apprentice, his teacher once initiated a very interesting test in order to strengthen the apprentices' protection of their own consciousness. He tells each apprentice a special spell and then asks them to get the other mantra in an unconventional way. During that exam, the entire gray tower was very quiet, and everyone was trying their best to find the weakness of their classmates' souls to attack, and dreams naturally became the best choice. This makes Cheese very familiar with the game in the dream world, and wants to freely enter and exit his dreams without revealing his identity, and the mage dares to guarantee that there will not be too many such people in this world.

After a few moments, Cheese opened his eyes, and he had found the unlucky one. Although I once wanted to put him on the face of the other party who didn't do it directly, it seems impossible now.

"Follow me. The mage said and began to walk. When the others saw this, they had no choice but to follow. As for the remains of the Twisted Knights, Sander had already told them to send someone to clean them up with a contact method that only he and the Lord of Wolf knew. It's just that the families of these knights are pitied, I'm afraid they don't even have the right to look at the bones of their relatives.

The night was getting darker, and the time to deal with the Twisted Knights was much shorter than Si had imagined. Thanks to this, the mage had a hunch that if the next contact with the dreamer went well, perhaps he would be able to unmask the main messenger who had caused chaos in the Iron Keep tonight.
