Retreat.

Amy Ulysses is not really as indifferent to the demons that are sealed in the underground as he appears, but in order to grasp the greater good, sometimes he must be patient and restrained.

He didn't want to be a knife in someone else's hands.

That being the case, it is imperative to seize the initiative in dialogue.

"I come with the utmost sincerity," Rigana raised an eyebrow, not realizing the little thought behind the grim face in front of her, and carefully considering her words, "but I don't know what sincerity you need?"

"Intelligence and the truth. ”

Amy said quite briskly, what can really be used in this dead city is nothing but points, manpower and intelligence, and the points of the altar he will have a large surplus now and in the foreseeable future, and this aspect of manpower is not a problem after reaching an agreement with the seer alliance behind the girl, the only thing that can bother him is the treacherous situation shrouded in layers of fog at the moment.

The time is unknown, the place is unknown, the purpose is unknown -

They were abandoned in a city of dead silence, and in the darkness of the deepest night, there were demons ready to move, and the old rulers who flowed from the source of chaos loomed, and even ...... Guided by his intuition, he vaguely guessed the reality of the world.

But in any case, he, even if he followed the team behind him, was only three or five people.

What can this man investigate in just three days?

Intelligence is unusually limited.

The Prophet Alliance represented by Regana is different, the seven teams are conservatively estimated to have about twenty people, coupled with the particularity of the camp in the entire Dead City, as well as the appropriate alleviation of survival pressure, they must have a lot of information, and their understanding of this world must be deeper than his.

Therefore, he is looking forward to it, looking forward to the shortcomings of intelligence being filled.

"Intelligence......" the girl gathered her thoughts for a moment before asking, "which one do you want to know?" ”

"Let's start with the camp. ”

The young Glory Man found a place to sit, and now it was time to recuperate after the battle, without worrying about leaving the group.

"We found a stone tablet in a temple of alien gods near the camp, and on top of it, the priests of the temple recorded the history of the city in ancient languages...... Including the end. Rigana sighed, "Due to the limitations of our knowledge, we can only translate a very small part. ”

"You can show me there when you have time," Amy interjected into her narrative, "I have studied ancient languages with Master Richardson for a while. ”

This is, of course, a lie.

But don't worry about debunking, because the person who can puncture the bubble of lies no longer exists.

And...... This is again a private matter between an adopted son and an adoptive father, and for the young glorious, it could not be easier to reconcile the past.

"It's remarkable," the girl sighed heartily, "no wonder you're the last survivor." ”

The ancient language, the language used by the ancestors, is itself a symbol of the history of the territory of order, and even those scholars in the Madrastic School of the City of Canaan can pat their chests and say that they are proficient.

Although the young man in front of him has only studied roughly, he is definitely a well-deserved leader among the graduates of the training academy who take the warrior as the training direction.

Then, realizing her gaffe, she covered her lips with her hand: "I'm sorry. ”

Naturally, Amy Ulysses wouldn't say stupid things like "it's okay" at this point, he just kept silent with a cold face to express his displeasure - well, on the surface.

"I'll take you there myself when I have time," Regana's posture lowered slightly, she didn't say the exact time, because for for the foreseeable future, at least until the Legion's combat power was truly formed, Judas would not have time to go with her to the temple, "According to the text that has been explained so far, what is certain is that the High Demon sealed underground is the main culprit who destroyed the entire city. ”

"On top of the stele, it is called Diablo by the recorder of the stele, and sometimes by the name Mammon. ”

"Demons, Demon Kings?" the Glory One frowned, showing his knowledge of the ancient language, "Don't tell me you call it the Demon of Mammon?"

"The Demon King of Mammon. The girl paused, "This is the title we have set." ”

Demons are a very special kind of demon, and unlike most demons, they often do not possess a tangible, qualitative entity, and are essentially a cloudy concept derived from malice, often existing as a distorted, near-humanoid cloud of smoke before being bound by humans under their real names.

Among the types that can be determined so far, none of the demons belong to the category that is easy to deal with, and the existence of the demon king named by humans is the best among the high-level demons.

"The name Mammon is a little familiar to me," a name he had indeed seen in an ancient text, but his ability was not to memorize, how could he remember every book he had read, "Although he did not remember the name and content of the book, he ...... There is no simple guy who can leave a name in history. ”

"Well, it was it that destroyed the city beneath our feet, that's what can be determined at the moment. "The only thing to be thankful for now is that it has paid the price, sealed under the ruins of this city. ”

"Is it the object of the altar trade?" Amy asked.

"It's just possible, it's not certain yet. Regana didn't bite to death, she just gave her or their reasons for making the judgment, "From what we've found, the camp happens to be in the center of the seal, and the words 'sacrifice' and 'blood food' have been seen many times in the accounts of this demon—it's easy to make some not-so-rosy associations. ”

"Definitely. The Glory One didn't stop there, "but that's more than that. ”

Affirmative tone.

The reason is actually very simple, because the girl had invited him to participate in the crusade against the high demons sealed underground - since it was a crusade, the two sides naturally could not separate the inside and outside of the seal, either this monster in the name of Mammon would break through the shackles of the seal and arrive in the present world in a short period of time, or the reserve sword-wielders in the camp had already mastered the method of crossing the seal - and either way it may have shown that the Seer Alliance has dug into the truth of this dead city quite deeply.

"Yes, it's more than that. Rigana nodded, "In the Alliance, someone who has been given stigmata has awakened spatial abilities - through him, the altar of trading necessities is essentially a distorted spatial crack that leads to the inside of the seal. ”

"Stigmata awakened?" this is completely unfamiliar territory for Amy.

"Well, that's why we call ourselves seers. "But you don't have to make a fuss about it, Judas, do you?" ”

I see, do you think intuition is an ability?

The young Glory One narrowed his eyes, and then voiced his doubts: "I'm just strange that I myself have not been baptized and implanted with the memory of stigmata. ”

"You're not the only one," Rigana paused, "and so are all of them—while a few dozen specimens aren't enough to tell the story, we suspect that the memory of the 'baptism' has been deliberately erased. ”

"It's really caring. Amy said this deliberately, hoping to lead to a related topic.

"But no matter how much you care, you can't help it," the girl subconsciously clenched the lantern in her hand, and then let go, "The clue has been broken, and the memory of baptism and stigmata is blank anyway. ”

"That's it......" The Honorable One could only sigh along her topic, but it was inconvenient to take a stand, after all...... With his embarrassing status, whether it was expressing dissatisfaction with the Order or defending the Order, there were some subtle inappropriatenesses, so he could only divert the topic, "Anyway, I still lack understanding of your purpose, although a powerful demon has been sealed underground, but this does not seem to be a reason to attack it. ”

Keep in mind that the Trading Altar that keeps the camp running is most likely built on its power - once it dies, more than half of it will directly cause the altar to collapse or fail.

From a certain point of view, they are a community of interests, grasshoppers on a rope.

"It was the one who attacked us first," Rigana sighed after a long silence, "and the missing have been appearing since daylight yesterday. ”

"Missing?"

He remembered the mysteriously missing Neil - despite entrusting Aina to continue searching for his footprints in the camp before leaving, the boy had lost much hope, but he didn't expect to get a clue by accident.

"The mystery evaporated, the clothes and luggage were fine, but the 'people' disappeared. The girl recounted the terrifying facts in a calm tone, "From yesterday to today, there have been three mysterious disappearances, two of them are members of our Prophet Alliance, the true sword wielder who has awakened the stigmata, and the remaining one is the captain of a team that has newly joined the camp, judging by the battle he has shown before, his stigmata should also be awakened - it is quite possible that it is specifically to provoke the people who have awakened the stigmata." ”

"No sign of resistance?" Amy asked.

"There's no trace," Rigana said, spreading her hand, "and it disappeared so abruptly. ”

"You ...... Any speculation?"

"Of course," replied the maiden in the affirmative, "although it is only some unfounded speculation, we all agree that it is Mammon's hand. ”

"As for the reason—"

Deliberately prolonged tone.

"It's simple," she subconsciously narrowed, a chill flashing through her razor-sharp eyes, "it senses a threat, from us." ”
