56: The Conspiracy of Belial

Kirara's estimate of distance was correct, and a day later, the convoy reached the outskirts of Kaltim and camped in a clearing on a terrace near Kaltim.

Because it is a terrace with a difference in height, you can see the scene of Kaltim from the platform...... But it doesn't feel like you're in the sky above Kaltim City, as in the game.

This is also understandable, if it is really so close, it is impossible for Belel not to be aware of the existence of Tyrell and Nephilim, although he is full of lies and his combat power is also the lowest among the seven demon kings, but it does not mean that he is a fool.

It's a bit far away, but a telescope is enough to make up for it.

Mishan stood in the best place of view and raised his arm, and the personal terminal on his wrist, which was like a bracelet, flickered a few times before projecting a light curtain.

Reaching out and pulling on the light curtain, the scene in the light curtain was magnified to the point where you could clearly see what the city of Kaltim looked like.

The clarity was not so clear that it was possible to distinguish everyone's face, but what was happening in the city could be seen.

Besides, I can't see the faces of a few people, and there is obviously a third left, that is, the city of Kaltim, which has a population of 300,000, and it looks like an empty city.

If it weren't for the fact that palace guards in gray armor patrolled back and forth from time to time, it would even give people the feeling of a dead city.

After a closer look, Mishan noticed that whenever the guards passed by certain houses, the windows of those houses would quietly open.

It seemed as if someone inside was watching the guards passing by outside.

Mishan adjusted the screen, locked on the moving windows and continued to observe for a while before returning to the camp.

During the time that Mishan was observing, the secret camp had been set up almost as much as in the game.

The location of the reopened blacksmith has not changed, the location belonging to the Lapidary has become Decca Kane's library, and the location belonging to the Enchanter has been used as Yoneshan's residence.

As for the enchanter's position being occupied by himself, Mishan didn't care.

Anyway, the addition of the Enchanter will not be available until the expansion area of Westmar, and according to Mishan's ability to make things happen in the plot, I don't know what the situation will be at that time.

As for the location of the lapmobil where the library is located, I don't know if Shen Lao's greedy thief god is still in the sewer now.

When Mishan returned, it was just around the time when the first wave of scouts came back.

Before Gilara could summarize Flavi's report, Mishan leaned over and said, "The remaining third of the inhabitants are confined to their homes. ”

"All of them?" Watching Mishan say exactly the same thing as the scouts had reported, Kirara asked.

"Almost, at least there weren't any massive casualties." Mishan said.

"Didn't you?" Kirara asked strangely, in her impression, the demon who tore off the disguise was very decisive.

"Don't worry, if there are too many dead and wounded, your angel sister will be able to detect it." Mishan's words caused Kirara to turn her attention to Dr. Ziegler, who was cooking.

Dr. Ziegler, who noticed Gilara's eyes, didn't raise his head and said, "The smell of blood around is not heavy, it should have been left over from the time when the Iron Wolf Guards were expelled." ”

He didn't know why Dr. Ziegler was so sure, and Kirara blinked.

"Can't you sense the concentration of the smell of blood?" Dr. Ziegler, who was stared at with distrust, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, looked up and asked strangely.

“…… Well, I can only tell the concentration of the sulfur smell in the air. Kirara said.

Hearing Kirara say this, Mishan interjected, "And how does Kaltim's sulfur smell now?" ”

"Let's see how it compares to." Kirara said: "Compared to the Eternal Battlefield and the Hell Rift, the air here is as fresh as an oasis, and compared to the normal area, even a demon hunter who has just started for a long time can detect the demons entrenched here. ”

"......" Mishan pondered for a while and said, "I remember that in the game, you characters don't seem to have been deceived by Hakan II, the king of lies, Belial, for the whole reason?" ”

"I don't know about the others, but that's true for me as a witcher." Jilara paused and said, "But it was only when I was about to get the Black Soul Stone that I realized that Pilier was on Hakan II's body, and I always thought it was just an ordinary Great Demon. ”

As for why there is such an illusion, it is because Belle is too weak, so weak that even if Kirara recognizes the other party as a demon, she does not realize that the other party is the one behind what happened to Kartim.

"Maybe it's because Belel is so weak that it will take the remaining 300,000 people hostage." At a mobilization meeting on what to do with these residents, Yoneshan's speculation was immediately endorsed by others.

Just like Asila will be jealous of these 300,000 people, Mishan is also a bit difficult to do.

It's not that the Virgin Mary is troubled, it's that Mishan thinks it's not worth sacrificing 300,000 people to kill such a rookie thing as Belier, it's not worth it.

“…… Would you do it if it was worth it? Kadala asked curiously.

“…… I won't ......" Mishan thought for a moment and said, "I'll do it another way in that case." ”

"Another way?" Kadara gave a curious look, but Misr didn't explain.

After that, everyone continued to speak freely at the mobilization meeting, and then no one could come up with a good solution to the 300,000 hostages.

The best way to do this is Abdu's suggestion to dig a channel to connect to the sewers and rescue all the hostages.

The question is, not to mention how long the passage in Abdu's suggestion will take, and whether there will be any long nights and dreams in such a long time.

The King of Lies, who had already smuggled the other two-thirds away from Asila, would certainly be on guard against such behavior.

Everyone was confined to the room and not allowed to come out, and the Messenger of Lies, disguised as guards, patrolled twenty-four hours a day.

Therefore, Abdu's suggestion can only be regarded as a solution that cannot be solved.

Leah, who hadn't spoken much, said in a somewhat speculative tone when everyone couldn't think of a good way:

"Is it true that Belier, the Lord of Lies, is just taking hostage the inhabitants who remained in the city before they had time to evacuate?"

"Would it want to do something to these people?"

Leah's words silenced the meeting, which had been silent.

After a long moment, Mishan broke the silence and asked, "How did you come up with this, Leah?" ”

Mi Shan also found that Leah's reminder was indeed very reasonable, too much of a rat bogey, and the fact that Belle himself was a rookie made everyone fall into the perception that Belle was just taking these people hostage.

And I didn't think about whether it was possible for Belel to use these people to do something besides taking these people hostage.

"It's just that I feel this way, so it's about empathy." Leah said.

"It's ...... It's a good fit. "I wanted to complain about the strange empathy of this directly changed to the Demon King, but suddenly remembered that Leah is the Great Demon God Reserve, although everyone knows about it, including Leah herself, but this hidden danger has not been ruled out.

Dika Kane, who seemed to remember this, changed his expression, and without saying a word, he slipped into his library with a cane, and began to flip through the books of Hradim.

After a while, Dika Kane took out a tome with a heavy expression, which recorded that Hradim had done it, and that there were many ways and records of demons doing all kinds of bad things with humans.

The two words that appear most often are "sacrifice"

"Sacrifice? Is this going to be a formation of the country? Mishan touched his chin and said.

As soon as the words fell, everyone else moved their eyes to Mi Shan's body, and Ji Lala even asked, "What is the Land Refining Array?" ”

"A ...... I saw something that was okay to kill directly. Mi Shan thought about it and said the result directly, without explaining the process...... It's not the answer to the question.
