Chapter 493: The Waiting Net
Che saw the movements of Lisa and the other three and didn't say anything.
I believe that they have been preparing for this day for a long time, and Che trusts them just as they trust the "Demon King".
"Three, please come with me." Once again, the chief straightened his little bow and walked to the front, leading them into the area behind the shelf.
Che glanced back at the eating area, it was empty, could it be that these shelves were there to cover up the void space?
Che looked at the area of the shelves again, all the shelves had all kinds of spices and food ingredients, it seemed that although they were entrusted by someone, they did not open this shop for pretence.
"Hehe, don't look at Lisa like that, but she is really a good cook, and she made the drink just now." The chief saw that Che's expression seemed a little strange, so he explained.
This surprised Che, he thought that the drink was prepared by the chief who seemed to have a unique skill, but he didn't expect it to be the "head chef of the pit people", but it was also oh, since he was called the head chef, he naturally couldn't fall into the magic of the word chef, so it was normal to think about it.
Che nodded, not saying anything more.
The chief opened the stone door, and three mermaids rushed in behind him.
The chief took one last look at the "taste" that had reopened for business, and exhaled lightly before following in.
Then I heard Mino's cheerful voice: "I seem to have felt the energy fluctuations of the void space!" β
Che glanced at Mino, and looked through Mino's at Medina, who was forced to push away.
Medina also nodded. It means that it is sensitive.
The stone door behind this shelf connects to an eerie space. I couldn't see anything clearly in the pitch black, but all four of them used magic to enhance their eyesight, and this dimness was definitely difficult for a good child who ate carrots to supplement vitamin A every day...... Yes. No, it can't be difficult for the Demon Shadow Clan and the Demon Clan itself.
"It's just ahead." The chief's words, though brief, were surprisingly unsettling.
Che looked at him and felt a little curious.
After walking for nearly 20 minutes, I still didn't reach my destination. Che Du began to worry if this was some kind of trick to invite the king into the urn, but the chief had been standing side by side with them, and there was no bad behavior, which made Che a little incomprehensible.
Then look at the dark scene around you. Looking at this road, it looks like a spiral down a staircase, leading to the depths of the earth. Chedu began to wonder if the chief was going to lead him into some kind of netβfor example, a room made of seal stones, if he did. That's the end of it.
But don't ask, if there really is such a room, Che will feel abnormal from a hundred meters away, now. Apparently not.
"It's almost there. I'm so sorry. It's such a long journey. The chief spoke again, and he naturally didn't sense Che suspicious anything, but after such a long silence, everyone would be uneasyβbut it didn't seem to include him.
His bright brown eyes didn't know why they could shine in this darkness, and the dazzling brilliance that was seriously filled made Che a little surprised, and the modesty in his tone also contained a strong and determined strength.
"You...... Is there something hidden from us? "Che always felt that something was wrong with the chief.
If the chief really betrayed him for something, he would not blame him at all. It had taken too long to break the sleep seal, and it was already Che's luckiest that the Friesen family could not rebel. What's more, it's just some "little people" developed by the Friesen family in the Angelus system?
"What does His Highness the Demon King mean by this? In fact, we are also the descendants of the Friesen family, and we have migrated from the planet Harder to the Angelus system for the cause of His Royal Highness the Demon King, and we have been looking forward to your arrival for so many years. The chief frowned, no matter how much the others insulted him, but he really couldn't stand the doubts from His Royal Highness, the Demon King, whom he treated most loyally.
Che felt a strong shock, he really said the wrong thing! Hurriedly shook his head, and then replied slowly, word by word: "I'm very sorry, I just had that thought, I didn't expect you to be a resident of Hallette Island." β
Che's heart was as heavy as a block of lead, and it seemed that he could see that the shackles on the chieftain called the "Demon King" made it impossible for him to escape.
Although he has received infinite benefits because of such shackles, perhaps, such pious treatment is also a distorted and unscientific emotion. Maybe the Angel Clan discovered this from the very beginning, and expelled the Demon Clan in order to allow humans to gain true spiritual freedom?
Che didn't know if this kind of pious belief was right or wrong, whether it was for the chieftain or for him, the demon king, it was a bondage. They are steadfast in their faithfulness, and they must not fail to live up to their expectations. Yes...... But ah, since this relationship of mutual trust already exists, whether it is really distorted or not, it can only continue. After all, the title of "Demon King" has been borne by them since they were born, and they have admired it since they were born.
"Please don't be sorry, Your Highness the Demon King, the only thing you need to do is trust us." The chief bowed as he spoke.
Che exhaled softly and stretched out his hand.
It felt like his hand was swiping in the air for a long distance, for a long time, and even the density of the air increased because of this stroke, but Che didn't stop until his warm fingertips touched the chief's cold forehead.
In the next moment, the chief's muscles relaxed as if he had found support. That's right, that's right, no matter how tired you are every day, no matter how many secrets you have to keep to it, no matter how much you live like a walking corpse, whether you have fun in the midst of suffering, the day you have been waiting for has finally arrived, and the day when you will be surrounded by the warm light of His Royal Highness the Demon King has finally arrived!
The chief felt his frozen blood melt and throb around his body.
"His Royal Highness the Demon King, please follow me quickly, I have to go back to work early." The chief is more motivated than he is now.
But after he finished saying this, Medina sent another sentence through the communication spider: "I have received a message from the ants, it seems that a large army is coming towards the food city. β
Che's blood poured into his brain at once, and he asked, "Did you come to us?" β
ββ¦β¦ I don't know. β
"Could it be Bai Shitong's informant?" I can't help but think so, because the only person who can leak the secret before this is the senior executive of LJ Company.
Position, timing, and motivation are all there.
Rather than not wanting to doubt people's hearts or fear being betrayed and staying away from some like-minded friends, Che is more willing to endure the pain of believing in others. However, he is the Demon King who shoulders the trust of more people, and he can't let those who trust him get hurt together, which makes him have to be suspicious.
"......" Medina didn't speak, she didn't want to affect Che's judgment, and in the same way, she also thought that there was no point in dwelling on who told the secret now.
Che was also silent, it really didn't make sense.
It's just that soon, the brain showed a very painful expression as if it had been hit hard by something: "Chief, are you ready to become a decoy for a long time?" β
The two girls beside Che all looked at Che, puzzled, what the bait was.
The chief was surprised for a moment, but quickly turned into a smile: "I don't know what His Highness the Demon King is talking about?" β
"I can trust you, but only if you tell me the truth." His footsteps didn't stop, but Che's speed of speech became faster.
The chief frowned and was silent for a moment, then sighed, "The reason why we want to be such a restaurant as 'Taste' is to completely realize the fact that we use so-called cuisine to cover up the void space. The void space you know is a product created by the gods of the demon race, and the magic power can be imagined. There is simply no place in the Angelus system. β
ββ¦β¦ Therefore, our entry into the void space this time will definitely trigger a very powerful magic. Che frowned, if this was really the case, then the three people above were most likely going to do magic cooking.
"That's right, so Lisa will officially start selling magical dishes when you enter the Void Space, which is a feature of our 'Taste' once a month, but luckily we don't have a fixed distribution date every month, and this month has not been sold yet."
Unexpectedly, it's really a wayward approach.
"So if that's the case...... To tell you the truth, Medina sensed that a large army was coming this way. β
Che tried his best to make his words appear more strategic, but it didn't work.
The chief was a little more relaxed about this matter: "Don't worry, we deal with those armies every month...... It's just that this time it's still a little different than before. β
This made Che completely surprised, it turned out that this was the case, wasn't it really Bai Shitong's ventilation report? If it is, it is even more troublesome, but if it is not...... It doesn't sound too easy.
"You mean, these armies come every month when you sell magical food?"
"That's right, no slack."
Yes, for many years, they have sold magic food twelve times a year, in order to have a pretense and at the same time let the Angel Clan relax their vigilance, but what they didn't expect was that those regulars of the Food City began to deal with it naturally in the second month, and the troops of the Angel Clan, every time they seemed to be waiting for this moment with nothing to do, they could always come as promised. It's like a net hanging over the sky at any time. (To be continued......)
