Chapter 68: Mystery Story

Life is full of unknowns.

No matter how shrewd a person is, he will not be able to walk on the foggy road forever, and he will inevitably encounter stumbling.

Central City, Emilia's House.

"Hehe, I know it all. ”

Arthas smiled triumphantly, as if he had everything under control.

There were five people in the room. Arthas, Emissa Summer, Emilia, Night, and Edward.

Standing beside Arthas, Edward always felt uncomfortable, it was too awkward.

Why are you standing here?, Edward, could not help but think back to what Arthas had said to him in the morning.

"You're an undercover agent. ”

At that time, Alsace revealed Edward's "true identity" in this way.

After guessing unknown information and making astonishing conjectures, Edward mistakenly believed that Arthas was indeed a brilliant prophet.

If it's him, it's natural to guess the identity of his demon king, right?

At that moment, Edward was already thinking about whether to kill Arthas or to pay reparations and persuade Arthas not to send him to the cathedral to be judged by God.

Unknown life is always accompanied by misunderstandings, subtle lies after subtleties, interspersed with vague truths, creating stories and legends that will happen today and tomorrow.

Arthas's guess seemed plausible, and there was nothing missing, or rather, as a genius beyond mortals, it was already the limit of what he could do.

After all, all the evidence and intelligence point to the same point - Edward, who is the internal response of humans lurking in the demons, that is, undercover.

Other than that, there is no other possibility.

Arthas found that after the end of the expedition, no matter what he wanted to investigate, he could always see Edward's shadow.

The Wings of Judgment were ambushed in the Everfree Forest, and the Brave was seriously injured, which was related to Edward.

Following the brave all day long, he gained Amilia's precious trust and became the only companion that the brave relied on, and the protagonist of the story was Edward.

When the demon fox was wreaking havoc in the shopping street, all the members of the Holy See went out to make the unsightly demon fox disappear completely, and the unlucky guy who disappeared with her was Edward.

Emilia was stupid as an idiot, and Audrey, the leader of the Knights of Ten, was not much smarter than her, and even if Arthas succeeded in locating the mysteriously missing members of the Wings of Judgment, he still had very little information.

He could only barely guess half of the truth, and the other half was up to his imagination to fill in.

Alsace's reasoning goes like this:

First of all, it is necessary to thoroughly understand Edward himself, and the people who have close relationships with him, and then follow the vine, so that Edward's true identity can be deduced.

He, of unknown origin, with strange silver hair, is obviously a human, but he is completely unaccustomed to the cold climate of winter in the God-given land. He is like a freak who appeared out of thin air, he is young, but he has extraordinary talents that are not inferior to the brave, and at the same time, he is also a real magic swordsman, and his strength is not bad, even Headmaster Kane is surprised by his qualifications and surname.

He not only has the trust of Emilia, but also has some kind of unknown connection with the demons.

Otherwise, how could he suddenly appear in the Everfree Forest during the exorcist army's southern expedition and miraculously save Amilia?

There is only one explanation...... He is actually an undercover agent sent by humans to the demons.

In fact, a long, long time ago, human beings had similar thoughts. Rather than knocking them out head-on, it seems to be more effective to dismantle those savage demons from within. But...... It is difficult for humans to reach the sky if they want to lurk among the demons.

There is only one way to become an undercover agent, and that is to live under the rule of the demons as a slave.

Demons occasionally raid human villages, taking back a few unlucky people as slaves to help them with their own work, or to do something more interesting.

Pretend to be captured by the demons and endure unspeakable torture, the only way to break into the demons and then obtain secret information that no one knows.

If Edward is undercover, then everything makes sense.

Arthas guessed that the story should look like this:

In order to defeat the demons, Edward, a young man from afar, was chosen by the Holy See to be willing to sacrifice himself and sneak into the Endless Forest alone, pretending to be an ordinary human and being captured by the demons, in order to obtain more favorable information.

After the southern expedition began, Marshal Rem decided to send the Wings of Judgment to behead the Demon King, and Edward naturally helped.

Maps, route maps, without a reliable internal response, the breakthrough of the Wings of Judgment will never be so smooth.

However, the decapitation operation fell short.

While retreating, the Wings of Guilt team was ambushed by a mysterious organization, known as the Gate of Original Sin. Luckily, Edward had been watching the battlefield from behind, and at the last minute, he saved Emilia from tragedy, and fled back to Central City with her.

Since then, in order to find the door of original sin and unlock the truth, Edward and Emilia have fought side by side with two strangers and become partners who rely on each other.

However, the matter is far from over......

Edward rescued Amelia, revealing his own identity. After learning this news, the demons naturally wanted to kill people and eliminate Edward, but they suffered from the high bow of the central city and did not move.

Finally, that night, a demon fox infiltrated Central City and tried to kill Edward, but Yinwei, who was photographed by Pope Sheila, had to flee and take Edward with him, ready to be judged.

This also explains why the body of the demon fox was not found in the shopping street, not even the two men and women who were rumored to have been attacked by the demon fox.

Because they did not die at all, but fled, and the Holy See lied!

Finally, Principal Kane Powder appears.

He and Angelina caught up with the fox and, after a fierce battle, rescued Edward from her. Kane was mortally wounded and had to declare his illness to the public, but Angelina died in battle......

This explains why Kane, Angelina, and Edward disappeared at the same time.

"Am I right, Edward?"

"Hmm...... Yes, yes. Edward's chick nodded as if he were pecking rice.

"Wait...... Y-You're undercover?" Emilia pointed at Edward's nose in surprise, with a look of disbelief that had been killed.

"Hehe, Amilia, are you still unwilling to confess to me, rest assured, I am not your enemy, but your ally. Arthas pursed his lips, his smile full of sarcasm.

"......" Emilia blinked her eyes and couldn't react for a while.

Isn't Edward the Demon King, and when did he become the inner response of the human race?

"Yes, he's right, we're allies, we should cooperate. Edward said, wincing at Emilia with a wink.

All he could do now was pray that Emilia would see the mystery and not show the flaws. At this point, any insignificant word would have been keenly captured by Arthas.

If he sees through it......

"......," Emilia didn't answer.

"Isn't it, Amilia?" Edward urged nervously.

“......”

Glancing at the smug Arthas, and then at the nervous Edward, Emilia still didn't understand the situation.

However, she still instinctively made the right decision.

"Oh. ”

Lukewarmly answered, and then, ignoring the two funny clowns, Emilia pushed open the door of her house and made a gesture of please.

"You're noisy, please leave. ”

Emilia said. (To be continued.) )
