101. Mission: Find the Child of Prophecy
Vermouth looked at Russell, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Russell, you are extremely talented, almost born a child of demons, and you will surely become an outstanding demon chief priest in the future. I really want to tell you about the Order's plan. But at least for now, I don't have the right to tell you these secrets.
"When you are not just a member of the Wonton Society, but officially join our Demon Sect, you will have the opportunity to know.
"The only thing I can reveal is that the stakes are high, and it has to do with the legendary Demon King!
"But you don't have to worry about us moving around the academy. We operate in such a secretive manner that even some of the faculty and staff are our people. Except for the loss of a red-robed priest two months ago, no one else has been noticed by the school. ”
Are there any faculty members from your order? Russell grasped this detail.
It seems that even the school can't be fully trusted!
Maybe among the teachers, there will be a demon believer of Chaos Red as an undercover agent.
After Vermouth finished speaking, Nocturne stood in front of the three new members and said coldly:
"As your first mission to join the Wonton Society, I want you to pay attention to a message about prophecy."
Prophecy?
Russell's heart suddenly tightened.
"If you hear that a prophecy mentions 'a hero destined to defeat the Demon King' in the course of your studies and life in the Academy, report the news to me."
Isn't that me? Russell complained silently in his heart.
In addition to Russell, the other two students, a boy and a woman, also looked much more solemn.
The lower half of Nocturne's face smiled:
"I know that when you hear this prophecy, you may be worried about whether someone will really defeat the Demon King.
"But it's just a scam taken out of context.
"Because the information on our side shows that the second sentence of this prophecy gives a subversive reversal."
The second sentence of the prophecy?
Russell's eyes narrowed slightly.
He distinctly remembered that Professor Black Amber had told him that there were three lines of prophecy, and that the second and third lines of the prophecy would not be revealed to him until he reached the second and third grades, respectively.
Vermouth didn't continue the topic, laughing as she pulled out a small bag of gold coins from her pocket:
"You are a new member of the Wonton Club, and I will give you some membership benefits!
"30 Academy Coins, 10 each, this is your reward for becoming a reserve of the Demon Order!
"They are needed to move around the academy, to hire other students to help, to buy occult materials, to pay for the new year's tuition, and for textbooks."
Russell happily accepted the 10 gold coins that belonged to him.
With the addition of the 52 Academy Gold Coins accumulated before, the Russell Gold Coin Reserve now reaches 62, which is unprecedented wealth. Even after deducting the total of 30 college gold coins for the second-year tuition fee and textbook fee, there are 32 college gold coins at your disposal.
After seeing the lightning strike charm, the fiery flame charm, the pitch-black glove, and the alchemical potion on the Arctic wolf, Russell was desperate to buy something supernatural of good quality.
The reason why I didn't buy it before this party was to prevent Nocturne from being questioned. How can a first-year freshman from an ordinary family afford expensive extraordinary items.
Vermouth said that when there is a new gathering in the future, Nocturne will find a way to notify them. They will also be able to meet other wonton club members.
After obtaining enough qualifications, Russell will have a chance to truly join the Demon Cult behind the Wonton Society!
After that, the crowd dispersed.
The evening breeze blows through the trees, and the song rustles and sings.
……
When Nocturne, Vermouth, Russell, and the others were gone, there was only one man left in place.
It was a woman dressed as a black widow, with a good face and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth that people couldn't see through.
Shortly after the ban in the Arctic wolf's memory was triggered, the woman "appeared" here, observing the conversation of Nocturne and the others all the time.
She didn't use the illusion of stealth to hide herself, but no one noticed her, as if subconsciously she didn't exist.
If anyone could actually see a woman, they might be surprised to find that the woman in the black widow costume looked exactly like the "thorn bird" on the academy sculpture.
"Russell, Nocturne, Ravioli, Red Order of Chaos......" Thornbird muttered the words thoughtfully.
……
After leaving the quiet Evening Forest, Russell connected through a contract and said to the wind chimes possessed by him in his heart:
"At this gathering, you don't just watch, there is something to learn."
Wind Chimes thought for a moment and understood what Russell meant:
"You're talking about the art of language that lies with the truth? The undercover enemy camp is calm and calm in the face of danger? ”
Russell waved his hand:
"No, you're mistaken. I mean, the girl called Nocturne looks and tones like a female ghost. When you change your outfit with disguise illusion in the future, you can refer to her image, which will make you act more like a female ghost. ”
"......" wind chimes were speechless for a while.
She was silent for half a second, and then suddenly exclaimed, and the fierce exclamation echoed in Russell's heart:
"That nocturne...... She, I seem to have seen her! In that group of people wearing demon masks!
The more I think about the wind chimes, the deeper I go:
"Russell, do you remember, I said before that among the group of weirdos wearing demonic masks—it seems to be the Red Order of Chaos you mentioned—there was a red-robed woman who was also a psychic.
"She wanted to take me in as a contract spirit. But I was worried that the contractual connection would bring her a risk after I was caught by the school, so I gave up. ”
"Remember!" Russell did not forget this detail.
Wind Chimes continues:
"The more I think about it, the more I think that this woman in the red robe is probably a nocturne.
"Although her face was not visible before, and her appearance may have been disguised with illusions, it can be roughly judged by her temperament. I guess Nocturne was one of those who performed the necromancy ritual and evoked me as a ghost. ”
Russell bowed slightly.
With this supporting evidence, he could be sure that the Demon Cult behind the Wonton Society was the Red of Chaos!
Red robe? Russell muttered to himself.
Nocturne is a powerful transcendent with third-year strength?
……
In the middle of the night, Russell took out the mobile phone that Professor Black Amber gave him that could not be monitored, and told the professor that he had officially joined the Wonton Society and that he would have the opportunity to officially join the demon cult behind this association in the future.
In addition, Russell also told Professor Black Amber about the clues provided by the wind chimes:
Nocturne is suspected to be the high-level of the Red Order of Chaos, the demon chief priest in red robes, and a strong man with third-year strength!
In addition, Russell also said that Vermouth will be a new entry point for investigation.
Compared to Nocturne, who has contracted a sleeping demon and has the ability to snoop and sense, and can detect the gaze of others, tracking and monitoring Vermouth is undoubtedly less risky!
Russell believed that Vermouth and the other members of the Chaos Red Order would also meet in secret.
As long as you follow Vermouth, sooner or later you will be able to find out the other members of the Demon Cult hidden in the academy!
Professor Black Amber quickly sent a reply:
"Kids. It seems that your speculation is correct, the secret society where Nocturne and Vermouth are located is behind the Demon Order, Chaos Red.
"I'm going to be very concerned about the fact that there are demon believers among the staff. This means that you can't fully trust even the teachers in the academy! ”
