"The World Tree and the demons," someone murmured. Before this, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to use these two terms together.
But Fathnath was speaking seriously about something heartless. "One of the subsidiary races is no longer trustworthy, so there's nothing strange about changing to another. If my consciousness was controlled by the elves using such a crude method, then it would be perfectly normal for me to summon helpers from other races while my consciousness was still able to recover for a short period of time. No matter if it was to kill or banish the original elves, that would be the most natural thing to do. As for whether it's a demon, an orc, or a goblin, what does it matter? "
Well, the reason was very strong, and someone couldn't refute it at all. From the World Tree's point of view, it was completely reasonable. In any case, the bad thing was that the elves tried to suppress and control the World Tree. The tree was only retaliating.
Lin also understood that continuing the discussion in this direction wouldn't lead to any results. In their situation, there was only one thing to discuss, so he asked, "Then let's assume that this group of demons and His Majesty Gaius worked together, what should we do next? Directly send someone to contact His Majesty Gaius and formally discuss cooperation? Then is it possible that the ones suppressing His Majesty Gaius changed from the elves to the demons? So our original mission to liberate the World Tree from the Elven Kingdom has been upgraded to liberating the World Tree from the demons? "
"In the absence of sufficient information, we can't give an answer. It would be great if you could bring back someone who knows the details, "Fathnath said regretfully.
"We have to ask someone." Lin pointed at the demon's head on the table and said, "Then just ask him directly. Anyway, he's still alive. I don't know how much he knows about the situation there, but he must know more than us. "
All the trees were silent. Instead, it was the few elves present. The young crown prince asked in surprise, "The head has already been cut off. Sir Mage, you're saying that the demon is still alive?"
"Uh, at least in my observation, his brain waves are still active. If he's not still alive, then there's another existence that plans to invade us through this head. No matter which one it is, there should be someone who can answer our questions, "Lin said optimistically.
Perhaps because he had been exposed, he simply stopped pretending. The head on the round table flew into the air amidst the arrogant laughter. In an instant, they flew to the empty space in the center. Blood vessels, nerve bundles, or tentacles emerged from the incision under their necks and caught the three weakest elves present. The demon said, "Haha, human, you actually discovered my secret. But it's useless. If you don't want these elves to die, then — "
Lin teleported the demon's head in front of him and pressed it down firmly. The severed tentacles also lost their support and loosened from the bodies of the three nobles who were entangled.
Under its shocked gaze, the demon could only watch helplessly as the human mage once again took out that strangely shaped dagger and stabbed it! The dagger pierced through the Demon Lord's skin, which was known to be indestructible, without any hindrance. It pierced through half of his head, his jaw, and his tongue, nailing him to the table. For a moment, the supposedly noble and powerful Evil Demon Commander could only whimper.
Releasing the hand that was pressing on the demon's head, a certain person suddenly had a feeling of absurdity in his heart. In front of him was a demon, and he had nailed it just like that. If this had happened when he had just transmigrated, he would not have dared to imagine such a thing.
But now was not the time to be emotional. Lin asked, "How is it? Can you read the demon's mind?" Of course, he was asking about Cassette Cutting.
"Piece of cake. He's just a demon, not a brainless dead person. As long as he can think and is in contact with me, he won't be able to escape from my grasp, "Cassette Cutting said confidently.
"You even know his real name?"
"In the common language, his name is Ubon Foto Sariel. In the language of the abyss, his name is — "Cassette Cutting spat out a mouthful of complicated syllables. The moment he finished speaking, the demon let out a painful wail. White smoke rose from the top of his head and condensed into the shape of a small person, which then returned to the head.
Lin Sheng, who had been doing all kinds of things that were beyond the common sense of the Lost Land and received all kinds of surprised looks, now looked at Cassette Cutting with the same expression. Lin was not completely sure what the scene just now meant. But one thing was certain, and that was that it was not good for this demon. Lin could not help but say, "That works too."
A certain blue saber-shaped weapon said complacently, "Otherwise, why do you think that from the past until now, the Box Cutter is a weapon only used by heroes in the legends, and very few evil people would use us. This is because those who have too many secrets in their hearts do not dare to use us, and those who are controlled by their real names regard us as a taboo. The bad people who dare to use us are either crazy like Azad, or so bad that they have pus and sores and don't care about anything. "
Lin could not bear to see this broken sword so proud that its tail was about to reach the sky. He said indifferently, "Okay, okay. Now, should I ask you questions and you answer for him, or should he answer himself? "
"Aren't you going to praise me first?" Cassette Cutting said eagerly. But after waiting for a long time, Lin Sheng still did not open his mouth. He was a little bored and said, "If you are in a hurry and don't want to listen to too much nonsense, you'd better ask me. Right now, his mind is full of greetings to you, your mother, your family, and eighteen generations of your ancestors. Or do you want to hear how bad a demon's talent for vocabulary is in this area? "
"Forget it, forget it. Just tell me, what's the situation on the World Tree's side now?"
"It's probably a mess … No, it's definitely a mess."
Other than the three elves who were still unclear about the details of Cassette Cutting's answer, the World Tree and Lin Sheng believed it without a doubt. But believing did not mean understanding, so Lin still asked, "How can you be so sure that they must be a mess now?"
"The original —" Cassette Cutting called Lin Sheng by the name of the fat man in the Sub-Plane Tower. "— Who do you think this demon you brought back is?"
It was this kind of question that asked him to investigate his background. Of course, Lin was all kinds of impatient and asked, "What, is he the son or father of some great demon? If I cause trouble for him, will other big shots come to cause trouble for me?"
"There is indeed a big shot among the demons of his father's generation who are related to him by blood, but it's impossible for the other party to care about this kind of thing. After all, the blood relationships of demons are messy, and they can be related no matter what. But what's important is his current identity. "
"What is his current identity that we need to pay attention to?" Lin asked, puzzled.
Cassette Cutting revealed the answer and said, "It's the demon commander who is now entrenched in the territory of the World Tree, Gaius."
"So?" Lin Sheng asked again, as if his reaction was half a beat slower.
"Are you a pig? When something happens to the demon commander, what do you think will happen? "
Lin Sheng was puzzled by Cassette Cutting's question. A certain weapon that loved to pry into people's hearts confirmed one thing. It turned out that this man was not insightful, omniscient, and omniscient. Therefore, he explained with a little pride, "Demons rely on violence and fear to maintain their rule. When a superior demon is weak, the first thing he has to guard against is not the enemy, but the demon underlings who have always followed him. Then the question is, what will happen when a superior demon dies? "
"Hmm, are you talking about this one? Isn't he still alive? "Lin pointed at the demon's head that Cassette Cutting had nailed to it and asked.
"Although Utopia's soul is still in this head, the body left in place is 100% dead. With such a thing happening, the demons in Gaius's territory were probably fighting fiercely to snatch Utopia's remains. After all, eating the flesh of a superior demon is one of the shortcuts for demons to grow. "
"That's really tragic. His head has been cut off, and his body is going to be eaten by his underlings. You didn't burn any incense when you went out today. " Lin Sheng continued with a joke that only people from his hometown could understand. Although the demon Utopia did not understand this joke, he agreed that he was very miserable today.
Because the smell of a human had suddenly appeared in his territory, he had chased after him. Because the other party was slippery, he had used the talent that he was most proud of to catch up to him.
Seeing that this reckless human dared to stab it with a strange looking dagger, it was shocked. At that time, his idea was to ignore the dagger and give the other party a heavy blow. Then, the matter would be resolved.
What he did not expect was that the conspicuous dagger could easily cut through his skin, which had at least 16 to 17 layers of protective magic barriers. It cut through his flesh and cut through his bones. His head was separated from his body on the spot.
Seeing that the other party had succeeded in one strike and wanted to continue fleeing with his head, Utopia decided to pretend to be dead and lurk, wanting to see who the mastermind was. Not to mention the discomfort caused by his strange teleportation spell, the place where he had been brought actually had no less than 20 World Tree Holy Spirits.
He had been with Gaius for one or two hundred years, so he was naturally familiar with the aura of the World Tree. At that time, he only wanted to escape. He could not afford to offend the World Trees, nor could he afford to offend that human Mage. The remaining three elves, who looked and felt very weak, should be able to afford to offend them.
In the end, he had just controlled the three elves of all ages when he was teleported in front of the human again. Furthermore, the human had nailed his head with that extremely strange dagger. The mere wound and pain were nothing. What really killed the demon was that the dagger seemed to be corrosive, corroding his head and his soul from the wound.
Of course, there was also the matter of his true name being grasped. It was definitely not a pleasant experience.
Compared to this f * cking series of unlucky events, having his body eaten by his underlings was really not a big deal. Utopia Foto Sariel wanted to cry out loud, but because his mouth was nailed by Cassette Cutting, he could not cry.
