Listening to Sakura's words, Noah also smiled and said, "Coincidentally, this is exactly what I want to know." It's a pity that Rand didn't let me or Xia Zuo participate in that operation, so I don't know exactly what happened at that time. However, I privately questioned some of the soldiers involved in this matter, and many of them claimed to have seen some purple crystals, and this crystal may be related to Archimedes' madness. ”

"Purple crystals, what is that?" Sakura muttered to herself, lost in thought again.

And Noah and Natsu saw that they couldn't ask anything from Sakurakaze, so they also got up and left the Holy Temple after saying goodbye to Marianne.

The irises outside the courtyard are in full bloom, more vivid than when the two first arrived.

Noah looked around at the purple irises around him, and his face was no longer as lazy as before.

"I guessed right, on the day the demon invaded Twin Moon City, something happened to the king, and I'm afraid that was the reason why Roland had to die. And the people who were with him at that time were Sakura and Roland, but Roland knew the deeper truth, so he had to die. Noah spoke, and there was a rare hint of coldness in his tone.

Xia Zuo glanced at Noah and said calmly: "I asked Wu Ling'er before, and she said that Luo Lan, Sakura Feng and a guy who I had never met that day had obtained a potion from Wu Yao that could hide the human breath, and I don't know what they wanted these potions to do." ”

"Hiding the breath of a human?, who do you need to hide the breath of a human being?" After a moment of thought, Noah said, "I seem to have read in books before that demons can clearly distinguish the breath of humans...... It seems that they have been in contact with demons, which explains why Sakura is reluctant to tell us the truth. Speaking of this, Noah had a vague premonition that it was not very good, but he couldn't say what it was for a while, so he felt quite tired.

In fact, since the demon invasion, Noah has already felt that something is wrong. Because anyone with a discerning eye can see what secrets are hidden in the king's body, let alone Noah, a personal minister.

It's just that although Noah was suspicious of this series of things from the beginning, for the sake of the overall situation, he just turned a blind eye at first and pretended not to know, so that the king could feel a little more relaxed and not be under too much psychological pressure.

Noah originally thought that after Roland's death, things related to demons would come to an end, but he didn't expect that strange things would happen one after another, and demons were still everywhere, and they couldn't end at all, so he had to start digging into the reasons.

Archimedes' affair was triggered by a demon who broke into the palace for a private fight, and both Rand and Lan Ke, the only courtier involved at the time, were secretive about the situation afterwards, leaving Noah to wonder what had happened.

It can be said that everything is caused by demons, and the king is always involved with demons intentionally or unintentionally, which makes Noah can't help but have some terrible associations. What is the origin of Augustine, who suddenly appeared in front of the Emperor, and Lanter's attitude of always being detached, he always seems to be consciously moving away from himself, not allowing himself to come closer. Some things are obviously the responsibility of the prime minister, but the king will choose to let Lan Ke complete it, which is obviously hiding something from himself.

Coupled with Sakura's performance today, it further confirms Noah's thoughts. When Noah connected the clues he had learned, the guesses in his mind suddenly became vivid and concrete, making him feel uneasy.

So should I continue to track it down?

Noah actually had a conclusion in his heart, but he didn't know whether he should verify its authenticity. Because he knows that once he takes this step, then it is very likely to become a fuse, and I don't know what kind of turmoil it will set off.

Because Noah's guess is that the king sold his soul to the devil.

Why did Rand always wear a tight robe, consciously or unintentionally keeping a distance from himself, even when talking in informal situations, he always stood far away from him, for fear of getting closer, why did Roland have to die at that juncture, and had to bear all the sins, why did Sakura hide the fact that he had been in contact with demons...... All of this shows that the truth is likely to be as Noah guessed! Other than that, Noah could not think of any more plausible explanation.

But if this speculation is true, then the situation that the Moon Country is facing now is really quite bad, so bad that even Noah, who has always been calm, feels quite overwhelmed. Noah knew very well what it meant for the king to sell his soul to the devil, which is why he felt so powerless and scared at this moment, not knowing how to face the king and how to face the future of the country.

Thinking of this, Noah's heart became struggling, and he was even a little confused: what was wrong with the world, why did everything start to develop in an uncontrollable direction, which made him feel quite exhausted.

But after a while, Noah calmed down completely and began to think about the next countermeasures.

Although the current situation in the Moon Kingdom still seems to be under control, the truth is probably best known to the king himself. Noah always felt that no matter how far things had progressed, it was necessary for him to know the details, which was his responsibility as a friend of Rand and as the prime minister of the Moon Country. For the sake of this country, but also for all mankind, so even if it is liver and brain, he will not hesitate to do it.

After some mental struggle, Noah decided to find out the truth himself, so he hurried back to the palace from the outskirts of the city, even though it was getting late.

It was already late afternoon, and the palace was not as busy as it had been. So except for the palace people in twos and threes, there are not too many people in the corridor.

According to the palace guards, the king is now alone in the study, so Noah also decided to go to him alone, wanting to ask the truth in person.

The sun is setting.

The palace people had not yet had time to light the oil lamps, so the corridor leading to the study began to darken.

Noah slowly walked towards the heavy door of the study, and the sound of his footsteps echoed clearly in the corridor, showing a bit of silence and eerie feeling.

After a few moments, the footsteps stopped abruptly.

Noah slowly reached out and grasped the golden handle on the door, and somehow, his hand trembled a little.

Hands, harder than before.

Noah took a deep breath to calm himself and finally made up his mind.

"Your Excellency. ”

A familiar voice came smoothly from behind him, causing Noah's body to suddenly become stiff and his heartbeat to become faster.

Noah slowly let go of his grip on the doorknob, paused for a moment, and then turned around again. At this time, the expression on his face was no different from usual, with a faint smile, and he said unhurriedly: "Is there something wrong, Augustin?"

Yes, behind Noah is the demon lord Augustine, who is also the king's contract demon.

Unlike Noah's subtle tension, Augustin's state at this time was quite relaxed and casual. He leaned against the corner of the wall and casually pulled off the black leather gloves on his hand, then glanced at Noah slyly, and said with a smile: "I want to have a good talk with you, Prime Minister." ”

Noah said without changing his face, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Are you sure you're going to talk here?" Augustine casually glanced around him, and at this time, someone from the palace had already appeared nearby to light the lamp.

Noah's Adam's apple squirmed subconsciously, he glanced at the door of the study, paused slightly, and said, "Okay, where do you want to talk?"
