Chapter 101: The conspiracy is approaching

"My lord, what you asked us to do has been done."

A richly dressed middle-aged man with a fanatical look bowed his head deeply and made a strange aristocratic etiquette.

Opposite him, however, was a huge pool filled with viscous crimson liquid, about five meters square, that shimmered with an eerie and disgusting glow in the light of torches.

-- This is a pool of blood filled with human blood.

“…… yes, you're doing a great job. ”

A playful magnetic voice rang out, echoing through the secret chamber containing the pool of blood, and slamming into the middle-aged man's heart. The middle-aged man hit. Shivering, he knelt quietly on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.

"......" The other party looked at the human in front of him with interest, and then whispered, "You helped us, and we will naturally repay you...... Come here. ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then became ecstatic, and he crawled over quickly—it was really crawling, he had even forgotten that he could stand up and walk over, or he felt that he was disrespectful to the adult in front of him when he stood up, so he crawled to the side of the pool of blood like a crappy gecko.

A low and awkward strange tone began to echo in the secret room, and the blood in the blood pool began to glow crimson, only to hear a popping sound, and the man crawling in front of the blood pool was pierced through the head by a blood scissor.

After a while, the man lying on the ground with the impaled head stood up. He touched his body in amazement, which was stronger and younger than his previous body. The man burst into tears with excitement: "Ahh......hh Thank you for giving me eternal life! Praise be to the great Extraterrestrial Lord! Praise the Song of Hell! ”

Then he respectfully knelt on the ground again, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything else you need me to do?" ”

"......" the other party smiled silently, "you need to ......"

"Yes, sir!"

The man stepped back and straightened his clothes. He waved his hand and called his butler, "I'm going to Sisli to prepare my horses." ”

"Your will, Duke Zogen."

――――――――I am the dividing line of intrigue――――――――

"Actually, I don't think we need to come here to watch the academy games."

Sophia looked at Ling Feng, who was sitting on top of Leah's head, and muttered, "Didn't that piece of information we triggered recently say that the demon would start after Tristin Academy of Magic's house game?" Why are we here to watch the game? ”

Just an hour or so after they came to see the game, and after completing their first side quest to spend a year in Hesli City, the system, which had been dormant for a year, finally sounded for the second time (the first time when Taruo spotted the traverser in front of them), bringing them an important piece of news.

[System information has been updated]

[Yesterday, the system watched the sky at night and saw a star in the east flashing with an ominous red light, presumably ...... Forget it, I can't make it up, in a word, the demonic plague is about to start after the competition at Tristin School of Magic and Wizardry. 】

Ling Feng squinted and smiled, "Do you know why the system deliberately told us the name 'Tristine Academy of Magic's Competition'?" You know, the clues that the system always gives us are all interrelated. Then we can confirm that this demonic plague definitely has a lot to do with this competition. ”

"In other words," a light flashed in Ling Feng's eyes, "the murderer of this demonic disaster is on the scene!" ”

Leah and Sophia snapped. Syllable. She began to applaud, after which Sophia said, "I see, but ...... Isn't this a demonic plague? Isn't the devil behind it? ”

Ling Feng froze suddenly, and forcibly quibbled, "I'm talking about the murderer who summoned those demons to this world at the scene of the competition!" Did you know that demons don't usually stay in the Nether or the Otherworld?! ”

"Oh." Sophia nodded, "But aren't the people who summon demons generally controlled by demons?" Essentially, the devil was the devil who caused the disaster. ”

“……”

"Poof!" Leah couldn't help but laugh, "Ling Feng, you have lowered the IQ of all the traversers we are sitting here. ”

"By the way, I have one more question." Sophia raised her hand, like a schoolboy, and then asked a question, and after getting their consent, she whispered, "Then, those who are possessed by demons must have evil energy remnants in their bodies." ”

Leah nodded, almost throwing Ling Feng off her head.

"So will our archmages be able to detect the remnants of these evil energies?"

"It should be possible, after all, they are all strong people above 6s." Ling Feng said with some uncertainty.

Sophia kindly reminds that "different worlds should lead to different specializations...... So you see. She pointed to the center of the field and frowned, "I felt a faint aura of energy in that direction that made me uncomfortable. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face less than three seconds ago, what kind of trouble are you going to make? Ling Feng cried and looked at the dean of the Magic Academy and the representatives of various countries behind him who were talking (hooking) laughing (heart) and wind (fighting) sheng (horn), and secretly scolded them in his heart for not being angry, losing the face of the magic side, and actually letting a science and technology side agent detect the demon's actions-

It's not magical!

――――――――I'm the legendary dividing line――――――――

In fact, in the world of "Eternal Sword", characters such as magicians do not have strong perception skills. Although they have very powerful means of attack, defense, and detection, these things basically need to be actively maintained in order to play the role of detection.

However, this shouldn't be the main reason why these powerful masters can't feel this kind of aura......

Leah and the others thought about it for a long time, and finally they were awakened by the sound of explosions on the stage: the energy shock caused by the fight on the stage masked the transmission of evil energy that was not high, and those who sat on the rostrum probably ignored those strange fluctuations.

If it weren't for Sophia's constant wreckage behind enemy lines as a ghost agent, and her extreme sensitivity to energy (such as picking open a Protoss Ghost Lock, passing through the zone under the nose of a Zerg lurker (also known as a ground thorn), she would never have noticed it.

"They're definitely playing a big game." Sophia concluded, her eyes narrowing as she looked into the center of the arena.
