Chapter 553: Jack's News
"Mona!" Elsa saw the familiar figure at a glance, and she jumped out of her chair with a cheer and ran towards her best friend. But as she approached Mona, her steps slowed down involuntarily. For she saw that the eyes of the female warrior were a green hue, and the flickering alertness and warning in them were reminiscent of a lone wolf. There is no doubt that this person is not the female warrior who grew up under Dragonspine Mountain.
"What's going on?" Red Fox, who clearly sensed that something was wrong, turned to Jack and asked, "How did she end up like this?"
Jack turned to look at Mona behind him, and raised his arm between her and Elsa, who saw that the latter's nails had become pointed, which was not a good sign. The hindered female warrior looked at Jack suspiciously, and then calmed down after being glared at fiercely. But she still didn't say anything, just silently hid behind the wolf.
"I don't know. Jack explains to Elsa after stopping a possible conflict from erupting, "She's the object of my first transformation, and I don't know if it's normal for her to become like this." To be sure, she still remembers us, but it seems that the Wolfwalker instinct has suppressed her ability to think. Her wolfification was much smoother than mine, but the hard part was how to change from a wolf back to a human. I don't know what to do with this situation, maybe Cheese knows, otherwise I'll have to wait for the Iron Keep's magic to be lifted and ask Lady Louise. β
"Will she get better?" the red fox looked at Mona with a fierce face, and the worry in his tone was palpable.
"Maybe. Jack's eyes didn't dare to look directly at his companion, and he wasn't sure what would happen to the female warrior next. The young head wolf had no experience of translating his own kind, and was unaware of the effects of the wolfwalker's transformation on different individuals. After all, Louise had little time to teach him these things after transforming him, and it was a very fluke that Jack was able to successfully complete the transformation ceremony.
Kolante noticed Elsa's shoulders twitching slightly, and gently hugged her before the latter's sobs drew more attention to her, bringing her back to her seat. This also gives the rest of the room a chance to communicate with Jack. And the most nervous of them all is Gloria. "Mr. Jack, what do you mean by saying that the coalition is not trustworthy?
Leon's face was also sinking at this time, but he didn't echo Gloria's question, but immediately thought about how credible Jack's words were. He didn't think that the wolfwalker would tell such a meaningless lie when he got to this point, not to mention that the previous reaction of the demon descendant also confirmed that what Jack said was true. If, as Wolfwalker said, the coalition was controlled by some demon other than humans, how and through what channels would it be achieved, and what was the purpose of that demon?
"To be untrustworthy is to be untrustworthy. To put it simply, Mona and I were actually nearby when they were fighting demons in the woods. My intention was to see if I could help with some demons, because they shouldn't be here no matter how this war turned out. But near the battlefield, I smelled something other than the demon, he, or they were not the same thing as the demon, but it felt just as bad. Jack frowned, as if the smell had come to his nose again.
Krus came out of the corner, "Devil, what you smell is the smell of the devil. Their form and style are diametrically opposed to those of the demons, but the results are just as terrible. And I'm sure the devil is hiding in that army, disguised as someone, and incites things the way they want them to go. β
"Devilβ" Wolfwalker nodded, it wasn't the first time he'd heard the term. Although most people are accustomed to mixing demons and demons, this does not prevent him from using the unique sense of smell of werewolves to distinguish between the two. Moreover, Jack vaguely remembered that it was not the first time he had smelled this smell, and he seemed to have smelled it when he was in the royal capital. When did that come about...
"If you get close to that devil, do you have a way to tell him apart from ordinary people?" Leon asked suddenly, realizing that the presence of the devil was not necessarily a bad thing. The coalition is desperate to eliminate the nezumi in order to find a meaning for hatred and sacrifice, and if he can pull the devil out of the crowd in public, he can transfer the hatred to the demon. Perhaps, this will make the kingdom's higher-ups reconsider how to deal with the nezumi.
The killer thought about the Blood Lion's question for a few seconds and shook his head, "I'm afraid not." The devil is the best at lurking, and if I didn't know a lot about them, I am afraid I wouldn't be able to detect them even if they were standing in front of my eyes. But even if I were sure of his general location, the cunning creature must have blended into the crowd long ago, and it was even possible that he had deliberately created a similar aura in someone to induce a keen hunter like Wolfwalker. β
Hearing this, Lothar and Jack glanced at each other, and the Count of Montenegro smiled wryly, "I can probably guess who that unlucky stand-in is." β
"The devil is the most cunning being you can imagine, or at all imagine. I have spent my life walking in the darkness in order to rid these ugly monsters of the world once and for all. But unfortunately, so far, I only know of one devil who has been truly destroyed. And the man who destroyed him was my companion and king of this kingdom, Siggett Hearn. Krus continued, a mixed expression on his face at the thought of his friend. The Demon Spawn didn't know the news of the King's death, and he was looking forward to infiltrating the Demon Slayer's Castle once the matter was settled, revealing himself in front of his old companion, looking at his wrinkled face with a look of surprise.
"Your Majesty can't come and help us. We are on our own. Leon said, if it hadn't been for the Demon Descendant, he really didn't know about the relationship between the killer and the King, and that Siggett had killed the Devil. But now is not the time to sigh, and the Blood Lion understands that the pressing problem at hand is how to find the devil hiding in the coalition forces in order to divert attention.
"Then I'm afraid we have only one choice. Krus shrugged, then pointed his finger at a person in the room, "He's the only one here who has the power to find the devil's true body." β
