Chapter 54: See Through

Mikal's nervous tone and desperate attitude made Jack nervous as well. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Who is going to kill me? Mikal, who are you talking about?"

"......" Mikal's face darkened, he hesitated for a moment, and finally, opened his mouth to spit out the mastermind behind the conspiracy, "They are demons, the remnants of the abyss. ”

Jack exhaled, but he was the first to calm down, "Sure enough, it's them, sure enough, it's these demons, I'll say, how can there be a high-grade demon in Ash City for no reason, and it's still a nobleman's daughter." Tsk, Viscount William has already taken refuge in the devil!"

"Not only him, but many nobles, including my father, and your uncle...... But that can't be called refuge. Halfway through speaking, Mikal paused, staring at Jack with burning eyes, "You know, Jack, that's a compromise, and we're going to have to compromise with those demons in order to keep Ash City. ”

"I want to know the truth of the matter, Mikal. Jack raised an eyebrow curiously.

"By now, there's nothing more that can't be said. Mikal sighed, "If you still want to believe me." ”

"Of course I believe, now I have found out, you haven't changed anything after all these years, you guy has always been a stupid cow, what other intrigues can you play, come, let me crack it?" Jack narrowed his eyes and laughed meaninglessly.

"Poof, you're right, Jack, I'm really not good at intrigues. Mikal laughed suddenly, he seemed to calm down, and said, "That group of demons came to Ash City ten years ago, and there are many of them, including many high-level demons and inferior demons, as well as crazy human believers, I don't know how many people there are in their demon sect, but it is possible that they are all concentrated in Ash City." It wasn't something that Ember City could resist, but the demons didn't kill it and turn Ember City into a city of blood."

Looking warily from side to side, Mikal lowered his voice and said, "They were looking for something, and they didn't want to attract the attention of the Arcane Council, so they found your uncle first, and in the face of the threat of the destruction of the Scarlett family and the Ash City, Viscount Vic had to choose a compromise. ”

"Why didn't he go and ask the Arcane Council for help?" asked Jack.

"When the Demon Sect arrived, they monitored the entry and exit and communication of Ember City, and they kept Ember City as normal for ten years. ”

"They've been looking for that thing for ten years?"

"No," Mikal shook his head, "they knew where that thing was in the first place, you Scarlet family had guarded that seal for generations, and in order to break the seal on that place, they needed the ...... of seventy-two fourth-level professionals, sixty-six fifth-level professionals, and thirteen sixth-level professionals."

"Blood?" interjected Jack uncertainly.

"Huh, how do you know?" said Mikal, his mouth widened in surprise, glaring at Jack.

"I came across a case before where there were bad demons and weird ways to kill people. Jack nodded, "If so many silver professionals die in a short period of time, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Arcane Council, so it will take ten years to kill...... In this case, let's assume that the deputy minister of the Arcane Council has some contact with the demons, and they may even be collaborators, so does the death of the collaborator mean that the demons need to collect all the materials they need to collect? ”

"You, you're really smart, Jack. Mikal exclaimed, "Yes, right now, they're just one level 6 professional missing. ”

"Then why did they kill me?" Jack frowned and asked, "I'm just a small one-ring mage, I don't have a conflict of interest with them, they unseal them, take what they want, I am my little noble, live my comfortable life, and there's something in their way? Could it be that what they're looking for involves a conspiracy that can slaughter everyone in Ash City?"

"No, the demons don't want to be exposed to the public so early, and even if they get what they want, they won't hurt anyone in this city. Mikal affirmed.

Jack nodded clearly: "That's natural, the demons haven't opened the door to the abyss yet, if it is not necessary, where would they dare to jump like this in Etletta, slaughter the city, hehe, the slaughter of the city is to cut off their hope of counterattacking the continent again." ”

"Yes," Mikal gave Jack a deep look, "they want to kill you, Jack, because you're so smart, you've seen through one of their secret passages, so they're worried that you're going to ruin their plans because of your boring sense of justice." ”

"No kidding, I've never served justice, it was just a fluke before, ah, I see, the place where they're going to unseal is in the sewers, right?" Jack said with a smile.

"Jack," Mikal sighed, "do you know that a person is better off not knowing things that shouldn't be known. ”

"So I deserve to be kept in the dark, or am I supposed to be born to be a fool and spend my life in a mess?" Jack sneered, "I'm an invention...... No, I'm a magician, and it's my mission to find the truth and combine it to create it, and if I don't even dare to tell the truth, I'll just die. ”

"That's what you call not serving justice?" Mikal asked rhetorically.

"Whatever you say, anyway, just because I played a detective game, the Demon Sect is going to kill me, right? These cowards who live in the dark, how many people are they going to send to kill me?" Jack sneered.

"They have sent three sixth-order demons to besiege you on the way to your castle. ”

"Do you know where they're going to kill me?"

"Yes, so, I'm going to take you around that place now and escape back to the castle first. Let's go, Jack, a demon has been watching the dinner party, and he'll be suspicious when he finds out you've been away for too long. We're running out of time!"

"yes...... We're running out of time...... It's time to send you on your way. Jack lifted his hand, the cold barrel pressed against Mikal's forehead.

"You...... What are you going to do, Jack, I'm your best friend!" Mikal stared at Jack in horror, the hollow iron on his forehead giving him a huge sense of threat, "Don't, don't be impulsive, I'm helping you! What do you want to do?"

"Huh!"

Jack sneered, his sharp eyes glared at the panicked Mikal, and said lightly.

"No, you're not!"
