The man's name is Edward Fleva, a border nobleman who had a relationship with Lucia and prompted Soros to take revenge. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, judging from the current situation, this man is probably not ...... Or not just a frontier aristocracy.

"It was unexpected. ”

Edward looked in the direction Soros had left and muttered to himself.

"That's not what I envisioned. ”

Edward knew from the beginning that Soros would not succeed in revenge, so he was referring to the fact that Soros was able to escape alive.

After a moment's thought, Edward looked at Aosore.

"Sure enough, I can only go up and take a look for myself...... ”

This was one of the worst ways to do it, and Edward didn't want to do it at all.

“...... After all, I'm not the type to fight. ”

Just as he was about to take a step, another voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Edward's actions.

"You'd better not go any further. ”

The sudden sound made Edward's pupils shrink, but he didn't make a fuss and show his emotions on his face, but suppressed his surprise and slowly looked in the direction where the voice came from, and it was just this glance that Edward's newly suppressed emotions burned again, and they were even more vigorous than before.

There stood a strange man, of early age, with his gray hair meticulously combed back, wearing a noble gown, draped over a black fur cloak, and under the gown was a strong physique that did not match his age.

It's not right to say that it's strange, because although Edward hasn't seen this old man with his own eyes, he often deals with information related to this old man.

"First time we met, I don't know if you have any advice? ”

Edward had a smile on his face, and he didn't tell that he was talking to the demon at all, but his tone was inevitably a little nervous and hostile.

Mephistopheles, by contrast, was much more spicy, and he swept Edward's hostility aside with a slight smile.

"I can't talk about advice, I just happened to be nearby for business, so I wondered if I should come and say hello to my old acquaintances, but...... It doesn't seem like it's a good time to visit. ”

Although it was not directly stated, Mephistopheles's words clearly meant something, which made Einstein's heart sink even further. He didn't know when Mephistopheles had been here, so he couldn't tell how much Mephistopheles knew.

The more uncertain he was, the more impassive Edward's face became, no matter what Mephistopheles knew, it was irreparable, and it was more important than what had already passed to prevent the secret from being leaked further, so he said with a smile.

"You are too modest. If you can let your Excellency as a demon king come to visit, I don't think anyone will turn you away. ”

Of course, Edward didn't really intend to talk to the big demon politely, he was just changing the subject.

"Speaking of which, why did you say you shouldn't keep going?"

Mephistopheles had a kind old man's expression and explained the problem to Edward.

"That's because if you keep going, you'll be discovered, and you know that this mountain is not inhabited by ordinary people. ”

Mephistopheles' expression didn't change, but Edward thought he must have guessed his plan, and sure enough, Mephistopheles added something next.

"If someone has just come to the door and you catch a suspicious person, you can't defend it. ”

Even Mephistopheles himself came here after taking sufficient covert measures.

Regardless of the expression on Edward's face, Mephistopheles turned to leave.

"Since it's not suitable for a visit, I'll leave first. Goodbye, little brother of the Salvation Army. ”

As soon as the words of the Salvation Army came out, Edward's face changed suddenly, no matter how Mephistopheles knew his identity, this would not be an ordinary trivial matter.

"Wait!"

Before he had time to think, Edward stopped Mephistopheles, who was walking away.

Mephistopheles stopped and glanced back at Edward in a strange way.

"What's wrong, is there anything else?"

When asked, Edward couldn't say a word. Whether it is to defeat the big demon in front of him, or to use some other means, it is impossible, knowing that Mephistopheles is powerful, he knows that he can't do anything, even shouting Mephistopheles is just the body reacts before the brain.

Seeing that Edward didn't say a word, Mephistopheles winked at him amusedly.

"Your enemy shouldn't be me, right? Don't worry, although we are not on the same front, we are not enemies, and I will not interfere with your plans. ”

Mephistopheles said this, no matter how you look at it, she is a reasonable and kind elder, but Edward is not at all reassured, as a member of the Salvation Army, Edward knows how dangerous this demon who claims to be a businessman is. Crazy but cunning, brave but resourceful, but still powerful enough to make it happen.

Wisdom, strength, and madness, Mephistopheles, the Demon King who combines all three, is a figure that the Salvation Army fears more than any other Demon King.

After saying what he had to say, Mephistopheles didn't even look at Edward again, and left directly.

It wasn't until Mephistopheles' figure was completely out of sight that Edward let out a long sigh of relief, his clenched palms already covered with sweat

"This matter must be reported to the higher authorities as soon as possible. ”

Edward, who had made up his mind, glanced back at Osoreyama and sighed regretfully.

"It seems that this side of the matter can only be put aside for the time being. ”

Compared to Lucia and the monsters of unknown origin around her, Mephistopheles' arrival is much more threatening, even if the two parties are not enemies as Mephistopheles said, they should not be negligent in their precautions, after all, the other party is a demon.

In a palatial mansion in the royal capital of Herberis, Mait-Hausen was pacing restlessly back and forth in the reception room, waiting for a man to arrive.

There weren't many people in this country who were qualified to make the leaders of the aristocratic faction wait, and there were only a few in total, including the princess who had not yet been crowned, but it wasn't these people who were waiting for Maithausen at the moment.

"Haven't you come yet?"

Mait-Hausen was anxious, an expression that was very rare for such a powerful nobleman, and it was enough to show how important the person he was waiting for was.

"Didn't the merchant say he could arrive this morning?"

As soon as he had finished speaking, the door to the reception room was opened, and the attendant reported to him—

"Mephistopheles, a merchant from the south, has arrived. (To be continued.) )
