Bang!
There was a sound on the table, and the Queen Mother stood up.
"Someone killed it. I have to find that person and tear him to pieces!"
She shouted.
However, the Demon King frowned and said calmly, "Sit down."
The Queen Mother stood for a while, and after a few seconds, she sat back down obediently and didn't say anything else.
Myr trembled as he sat on the chair, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Although this is trouble caused by your actions, it also proves that someone is secretly obstructing us."
The Demon King said. Of course, he already knew who it was. That woman in red and the doll must have been left behind by her. She deliberately made Yi Tie turn into a monster to attract the attention of the Adventurer's Guild.
It seemed that this person had always been against him. The Demon King didn't know why. Was this retribution for abandoning his disciple?
No, no, no, he wasn't superstitious about these things. There must be a reason, such as the influence of his expansion on her.
Moreover, this batch of food didn't sell as fast as he expected. He underestimated the selfishness of merchants. Those merchants who didn't cooperate with him blocked the news of his shop, and even spread some rumors, such as that transporting food now would be detained and fined.
Not only them, but also the wandering merchants, who were the Demon King's current main customers, in order to reduce competitors and maintain the high price of their goods, they would spend some effort to put some other goods in the carriage to cover up their own goods, and they would keep quiet about it.
Therefore, outside of Stone, almost no one knew that food was sold here.
"Let all your people leave here. Let them bring a message, and don't let them come close."
The Demon King looked at the Queen Mother and said.
"Okay."
The Queen Mother didn't dare to oppose him this time.
"Myr."
"Ah, I'm here!"
Myr was shocked when she heard her name. She looked over nervously and saw a pair of dark eyes. For some reason, her uneasy heart calmed down.
"I'm leaving for a while. You stay and watch the shop."
"Eh? Me? "
Myr pointed at herself, not daring to believe her ears.
"Yes, you stay and protect her. Don't let anything happen to her. Do you understand?" The Demon King ordered the Queen Mother.
"Alright."
The Empress mumbled.
The Demon King stood up. Suddenly, a spell made his voice reach the ears of many people. Some of them were in the warehouse, some were on the streets, some were in the underground tunnels, and some were sleeping on the seats full of food.
"Everyone in Stone City, listen up. From now on, Myr's words are my words. You all have to listen to her."
Many people were stunned on the spot. Before they could react, the voice disappeared.
"Yes, Master …"
They nodded slightly and continued with their work, just as they always did.
"Where are you going?"
The Empress couldn't help but ask.
The Demon King glanced at her.
"I'm going to clean up someone's mess."
After saying that, he turned into darkness and disappeared from the room, leaving behind a bewildered Myr and the Queen Mother who was secretly glad that she hadn't been scolded.
…
At this time, in a certain hotel room, a ball of light hung from the ceiling like a light bulb. There were many documents on a long table, and ten people were gathered around the table, as if discussing something.
"We'll split up. Bilux, you guys stay in the city and contact the informants of the Union. We need to obtain evidence tonight."
Rayle said.
Standing in front of her was a middle-aged man with short hair. He had a very amiable face, and one could tell that he was a good person at first glance.
Bilux was indeed a good person, and he was very quiet. However, this didn't affect the fact that he was very reliable.
"Grano and I will go to the place indicated on the note. If we don't return in three days, then report to the president for me." Other than Bilux and Grano, the other Dark Adventurers were all surprised when they heard Lehr's words.
"Young mistress! There's no need to take such a risk. Why don't you let me go? My ability is best at scouting! "
Adel was the first to persuade her.
"That's right, young mistress! This must be a trap. "
"We can't go. This is the territory of the demons. It's too dangerous."
They said one after another.
Only Bilux remained silent. He suddenly spoke. His voice was very soft, but the others immediately quieted down.
"Can you tell me the reason?"
That was all he said.
"It's just intuition," Rayle replied.
Her round glasses reflected a ray of light, making it impossible to see her eyes. The butler Grano stood behind her. The two of them gave off a very mysterious feeling.
"Aren't you the rational one?"
"No, Bilux, you have to persuade her."
"The Union can't do without you."
The room was filled with chaotic voices again.
"Alright, have a safe trip."
However, Bilux said something that made everyone speechless.
"Yes, for the Union," Rayle said.
"For the Union …"
The others lowered their heads and said unwillingly.
As the top strategist, Rayle Phoenix was like this. She liked to rush to the most dangerous frontlines. This was why everyone was willing to join her team, but it was also the trait that worried them the most.
Therefore, the investigation team was divided into two sides. One side directly investigated and collected evidence of Arcath using the Demon Seed. They wanted Arcath to step down, and the Union would use this opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation of Stone City.
The Demon King stood at the highest point of the city wall and looked down at the city.
They wouldn't be able to find any clues. They would only find Akas, who didn't know anything. And because Mikaji didn't know anything, they couldn't get anything useful out of him.
The trouble was on the other side. Rayle and Grano were heading east.
Of course, the Demon King could make them lose their way for a few days so that they would retreat. He could also turn them into his puppets, although that might be discovered and cause even bigger problems.
However, he could still hold on until the city was completely under his control, and his first batch of troops would be formed. At that time, these problems would no longer be a problem.
However, it was very awkward now. The Demon King needed time. He could not let these two die. They had the entire Union behind them.
Suddenly, the Demon King thought of a bold idea.
Perhaps he was crazy to do that, but he wanted to give it a try.
The Demon King on the city wall had disappeared without a trace.
The morning sun in the east was particularly red. There were two rows of footprints in the snow, extending straight toward the sun. At this moment, a strange sound that no one could hear came from the city. It was a long and illusory sound, spreading all the way to the horizon.
