"Old Demons Faction?"
In the private room, Shien muttered the term that Vivian mentioned.
"…"
On the other side, Tierre, Lumia, and Merica all seemed to become solemn because of the term. Some straightened their backs, some took a deep breath, and some tightened their faces, causing the atmosphere to be heavy.
Seeing this, Shien knew that it was definitely not something good.
In fact, that was the case.
"The so-called Old Demons Faction refers to an extreme faction among the Demons." Vivian seemed to understand the doubts in Shien's heart and began to explain, "They advocate that the current way of existence of Demons is quite distorted, no longer as pure or even orthodox as in the past. They believe that the current Demons have lost what they should be, so the purpose of their existence is to correct this distortion and return the Demons to their original state."
If these words were to fall into the ears of others, they might not understand what they meant.
However, Shien, who already knew the current situation of the Demons, easily understood what this meant.
"Return the Demons to their original state?" Shien pursed his lips and said, "In other words, they think that the Demons should not maintain a state of peace with the humans and the Protoss, right?"
"In layman's terms, that's it." Vivian smiled bitterly. "They believe that the origin of Demons is the Demon King, and that the Protoss and the humans are enemies who crusaded against their king. The current Demons, on the other hand, are wagging their tails and begging the Protoss and the humans for mercy after the Demon King passed away. In order to survive, they abandoned their self-esteem as Demons. They are all a group of traitors, so they have always wanted to return the Demons to their original state. They are very hostile to the Protoss and the humans."
Vivian's words reminded Shien of the pretentious prick.
"Indeed. That b * stard has always acted like he hates everything in this world. It's as if all humans and human objects are filthy trash."
Shien finally understood why that guy had such an attitude.
But …
"That prick?"
Vivian looked puzzled, as if she did not understand the meaning of the adjective.
"Don't mind the details," Shien laughed dryly and said, "Then why did he appear in Lamigione?"
Shien, who asked this question, actually already knew why the other party came here.
Because it was already very obvious.
"You saw the portrait in his hand, didn't you?" Vivian said. "His goal is to find the person in the portrait."
That's right. That was the person 'purpose.
To be more precise, it should be said that this was the goal of the old demons.
But there was one thing that Shien did not understand.
"Why would the Old Demons want to find the person in the portrait?"
"Why would the Demons want to find the person in the portrait?"
In order to make the demons return to their original form, why did that group of problem children sneak into the human town that they hated and rejected so much in order to find "that person"?
Why would the group of problem children, who wanted the Demons to return to their original form, sneak into the human town that they hated and rejected to find "that person"?
Even the rest of the team expressed the same opinion.
"I heard that the Old Demon Faction has always been committed to destroying the balance between the three races, so they often do things that are no different from terrorists, causing many incidents." "I heard that the Demons have been working hard to destroy the balance between the three races, so they often do things that are no different from terrorists and cause many incidents."
"Could … could it be …" Lumia also said with a trembling voice, "The abnormal phenomenon that happened yesterday was caused by the Demons?"
Shien's mouth twitched.
Why does it feel like someone is going to take the blame for me from the development of this conversation?
While Shien was thinking about this, Vivian glared at Shien.
"Currently, the guild and the knights are indeed leaning towards the idea that all of this is the work of the Old Demons." "After all, they don't know that someone went there to practice his skills yesterday, and the person who taught him lives nearby." Vivian was a little annoyed.
"Ahem …!" Shien's eyes widened, and he could not help but cough.
"… As expected, we can't hide it." Tierre seemed to have predicted this outcome and sighed silently.
"Huh?" Lumia and Merica, on the other hand, tilted their heads. For a moment, they did not seem to understand what Vivian meant.
Vivian was just a little annoyed, but just as she had said, she didn't intend to pursue the matter any further, and continued to explain.
"At the moment, the guild and the knights are still investigating this matter. The identity of the infiltrator from the Demons has been confirmed. If I'm not mistaken, he should be one of the three masterminds who caused the large-scale assassination in the Royal City."
Vivian said.
"His name is Killian, and he used to be a subordinate of the Dragon Demon, one of the six Demons who now lead the Demons. He was a follower of Tyrannosaurus, one of the four cadres of the Dragon Demon. He was Level 77 and was once highly regarded as an excellent talent who could become the fifth cadre of the Dragon Demon. But ten years ago, he suddenly joined with two other Demons to plan the large-scale assassination in the Royal City, causing the deaths of many nobles and even members of the royal family. After that, he disappeared without a trace. No one expected him to appear in Lamigion, and the higher-ups are in a mess."
Vivian looked at Shien and rolled her eyes. "Such a terrifying character was actually subdued by a Level 10 novice adventurer using a so-called self-defense magic tool. The knights were shocked. They came to me this morning to confirm, not so much to confirm the cause and effect of the incident, but to find out what that powerful magic tool was and why a novice adventurer would be given such a powerful magic tool to protect himself."
Shien almost broke out in a waterfall of sweat.
This was bad. His boast had been blown away.
Not panicking?
I'm sorry, Sean is panicking right now.
He hadn't been able to understand the identity of the other party, and he hadn't thought about the rationale behind the boast. Shien felt that he was going to be screwed.
What Sean didn't know was that Vivian had already smoothed things over for him.
"Actually, he's a novice with a lot of potential. That magic tool isn't mine, but was given to him by President Lily in the form of financial support. It's to prevent him from dying while he's still a novice."
That was how Vivian had explained it to the Knighthood.
After all, Vivian herself was only level 50.
If she had a magic tool that could subdue a Level 77 expert, wouldn't it be better for her to use?
Hence, if she said that the magic tool was a gift from Vivian, the knights would probably still be suspicious.
Hence, Vivian simply pushed it to Lily.
With Lily's identity, it wouldn't be strange for her to have such a powerful magic tool, right?
Moreover, Lily was indeed very considerate of novice adventurers with potential. Even if it was a little exaggerated to directly give such a powerful magic tool, as long as Lily insisted on her words, the knights had no choice but to believe her.
Fortunately, Vivian had already discussed this with Lily beforehand. Both of them had decided to conceal Shien's identity and background, so there shouldn't be any problems on Lily's side.
Of course, because of this, Lily had already told Vivian about it.
"To be able to subdue Killian and cause such a phenomenon, I'm really starting to get curious."
In other words, Shien had been completely targeted by the president.
It could only be said that this was the price.
