On the thirty-seventh floor of the Tower of Eternal Life, Reina finally saw the true treasure. It was similar to a fairy tale, with luxurious chests filled with gold and gems.
However, their location made people want to curse. They were placed in some weathered holes in the cliff, and you could only bend down and climb in.
Moreover, it was difficult to take them away because it was in a high cliff, so deep that you couldn't see the bottom and the top. Only a cylindrical stone cliff stood in this unique space.
Reina, Mr. Ball, Mr. Crocodile, and Horn successfully arrived here, each looking for the treasure they wanted.
A small hand reached into the small hole, took out a red gem, and then put it in a small bag behind her butt.
At this time, the small bag was full, and it was full of sparkling, beautiful gems.
She didn't take a single gold.
"If it's too heavy, it will be very tiring later, and it will take a long time to climb the net."
Horn, who was at the front, shouted. The wind was very strong here, and if one was not careful, they could be blown away, and the wind would take away their body temperature, making them very cold.
"It's so cold!! Hurry up, little one, don't care about those rotten stones, hurry up! Hurry up and leave this damn place! "
Mr. Crocodile hurriedly shouted. Its resistance to the cold seemed to be a little weak.
However, Reina didn't know why, but even without the cloak, she seemed to have the ability to maintain her body temperature. A warm magic covered her body, as warm as wearing a layer of leather.
"Coming."
Reina replied and looked up. The light shone down from the top of the cylindrical boulder, and it was dark all around. They climbed up like this.
… …
Rayle's visit was definitely not with good intentions. She actually didn't believe what her subordinates said.
Demon King sipped his tea and secretly glanced at her.
"A very strange thing happened recently, and it made the people in the city anxious. It doesn't seem very peaceful."
Rayle gracefully put her hands on her knees and sat very ladylike.
Demon King tilted his head slightly and asked, "Oh? I've been in the shop for the past few days. Did something big happen? "
"Don't you know? I thought they talked to you about the rich businessman who turned into a monster. You had dinner with him that night, right? "
The Demon King was expressionless as he said, "So it's this matter. You also suspect that I did it?"
Hearing this, Layle raised her eyebrows.
Doubt?
Could it be …
"Akas sent a lot of people to investigate. Ask me what benefits I can get if he's dead. If he's still alive, I might have already sold all the goods in my warehouse and made a huge profit. I wouldn't have to work myself to death like I am now and be entangled in so many troubles."
The Demon King sighed.
However, Lael did not believe those words at all. She only believed in the facts that she had investigated.
"I'm willing to believe that you wouldn't do such a thing. That's equivalent to betraying humanity. But before that, I have to do some official business. I'm a special investigator sent by the Adventurer's Guild. We need to talk about the source of your goods. "
The look in her eyes suddenly changed, and her expression became much more serious. The butler on the side kept a straight face, and an invisible pressure pervaded the entire room.
As an ordinary person, Myr felt a little scared. She was very conflicted. As a human, she wanted to ask this investigator from the Adventurer's Guild for help. But after living there for a while, she adapted to life there and became friends with Abby. Her best friend, Jenna, was also living well.
The key point was that her country was gone, and she was now just a refugee. Moreover, there was famine everywhere. It was very difficult for the people of a destroyed country to survive. Most of them would become bandits, or die of cold or illness.
To be able to eat and drink her fill in the Ufa Great Forest and have a comfortable bed, these demons must have treated her well.
So she was very conflicted.
"This is the last grain of the Ross Empire. My name is Myr Carlin, and I'm a noble of the Ross Empire. Although we've declined, our family still has a vast field in Nanyi City. This grain is what our family has stored. "
Myr's sudden words surprised the Demon King and Layle.
First of all, she was from the Ross Empire. There was no way to investigate this point, because the Ross Empire had already been destroyed. Moreover, she was a noble. Many things of nobility were not recorded on paper, making it even harder to investigate.
Myr's words were meant to exonerate the Demon King.
This made the Demon King, who had been thinking of devious ideas, heave a sigh of relief. He had wanted to directly defeat and control the two humans in front of him.
Hearing this, Layle frowned slightly and looked at Myr. "Then you're a noble. Why would you give your family's things to a merchant? I just heard that you're not husband and wife, right? "
As soon as she finished speaking, the Demon King coughed dryly. "This …"
"No, not for the time being. Does the Adventurer's Guild even care about this?"
Myr replied firmly. She didn't know why she was helping a demon. She must be crazy. She was very agitated and couldn't calm down at all. She lowered her head and trembled all over.
The scene quieted down. Layle's train of thought was interrupted, and she fell into silence.
"Go back and rest first. Leave this to me."
I'll leave it to you, "the Demon King suddenly said. Myr lowered her head in silence and nodded, then turned and returned to her room. Then he thought of something and turned to the Queen Mother, the woman with a bored expression. "You too. Don't be a hindrance here."
The Queen Mother shrugged and snorted unhappily. She stood up and walked away with large strides.
However, the direction she was walking in didn't seem to be her room, but outside …
This fellow!
The Demon King turned around and said to Layle. His face was now a little gloomy.
"Is there anything else you want to say? Say it. I still have business to do."
Layle maintained her smile and said, "It's nothing. I'm just here to meet and ask. Oh right, I forgot. According to the rules, I need to verify your identity. I hope you don't mind."
Saying this, the butler took out a long box with a strange device inside. There was a transparent glass tube on it.
The Demon King immediately guessed that this was a device used by humans to determine if someone was human or not. It was a good thing he sent the Queen Mother away. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.
"Come, test as you wish."
The Demon King said indifferently, as if he was confident.
The butler walked over and nodded to the Demon King. "Excuse me."
Then he rolled up the Demon King's sleeve and placed the strange device on the Demon King's wrist.
The three of them looked at the strange device.
At this moment, some liquid and air bubbles appeared on the transparent tube. The blue liquid suddenly vibrated and turned red.
The butler Grano's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the Demon King and shouted, "You're not human!"
