"You are under arrest for harboring, threatening, and using Magic Seeds, Count Arcas."
Roses put an old sheepskin book on the table, then slowly opened it and glanced at it casually. There were rows of names densely arranged on it. Many of the names were blurred out with red liquid. The front page numbers were all red until a person's name, Liuliu, appeared on the last page.
Arcath sat there in silence. Suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes. He yawned with his mouth half-open, as though nothing had anything to do with him. He had a carefree look on his face.
"We will enforce the highest authority given to the Adventurer's Guild by the world law. You can resist arrest, but all the consequences are at your own risk."
Bilokus said.
Suddenly, Arcas seemed to have been electrocuted. He suddenly trembled, then said mechanically, "You have made the wrong decision. Without me, this city will fall into chaos and disorder, and the surrounding empires will not support your approach."
"It's hard to say. Count Arcas, please come with us."
Bilokus said.
They didn't find any Magic Seeds in the basement, only the jailers and prisoners. Everyone was thoroughly checked, and the result was that they were all humans.
Luckily, someone found Arcas' secret room. There was such an account book in it, and it was full of the code names and names of the killers.
This would be evidence, or at least it could be used as a bridge to let the Guild officially intervene in the investigation. Then the problem would be much simpler.
"Okay, let's go."
Polo thought that there would be resistance, but he didn't expect Arcas to stand up. He felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
Even though the people from the Adventurers Guild wanted to secretly escort Arcas out of the city, they were still surrounded by many onlookers. It was as if they knew about this in advance. Moreover, it was still night time. The people in the city silently surrounded the streets and alleys, watching them just like that.
Polo also felt nervous. He thought that some conflicts would break out, and some brainless fanatics of Arcas would rush to stop them, but in fact, this didn't happen.
But this was even stranger. They just followed them silently until they left the city. As dark adventurers, they had never seen such a scene. They couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
In the end, they successfully left the city and met up with the coachman outside the city. At this time, the sky was already dark. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but tonight was especially cold.
"Take care, everyone."
"Take care!"
They decided to split into two teams. The five of them, led by Birex, would escort Arcath back, while the four of them would stay in the city and continue to collect evidence while waiting for the young lady's return.
With the sound of wheels, Belox left Stone Ancient City with his men.
…
The cold wind of the night made people shiver. The Ke Tu people who had just returned from work had all returned home and hid in front of the warm fireplace.
At this time, in one of the rooms in the office, a white-haired old man was lying on the bed. His body and face were wrapped in bandages, and his pale complexion had eased a lot.
Lehr changed into a new set of clothes. She never thought that she would be a guest of the Demon Race, but she knew that this wasn't a good thing.
The only reason she had stayed behind was because she had heard Qinna's story. As such, she was interested in this place and the demon who claimed to be not Richard.
The dining table was filled with delicacies. A plate of roasted suckling pig was placed in the center. It was full of toothpicks and there was a red fruit in its mouth. It was really appetizing. There was delicious and juicy roasted meat, as well as carefully cooked steamed fish. The staple food was bread and wheat porridge. A group of demons of different races and a few humans sat together to enjoy dinner.
The Mouse Race, the Lizard Race, the Centaur Race, the Dog Race, the Chicken Race, the Ke Tu Race, and so on. Although they were all weak demons, when they gathered together, they could be considered a force to be reckoned with.
What made Lehr happy was that they ate with knives and forks just like humans. Moreover, they talked and laughed politely. This atmosphere was much more cheerful than when human nobles ate together.
"Don't worry, that lord won't do anything to the food."
Qinna, who was sitting beside Lehr, suddenly said.
Lehr came back to her senses. She smiled and took a piece of roasted pork. It looked very tempting, but she was from a prestigious family. Delicacies were no longer attractive to her.
Moreover, it was such ordinary food. However, the most important thing now was to fill her stomach.
When she put the piece of roasted pork in her mouth, her eyes suddenly widened and she shrugged.
Delicious!
What was this taste? Was this really roasted meat? It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. There was a taste in the meat that she had never tasted before. There was no disgusting oily taste at all.
Such ordinary ingredients could actually cook such delicious food. If she could, she really wanted to spend a lot of money to poach the head chef here.
"Um, do you know who made this food? A human chef or … "
Lehr quietly asked Qinna.
"No, it's actually him."
Qinna looked at the Demon King. He noticed the two human women's gazes and nodded slightly at them with a smile.
"It's a lie! It's actually him?! "
Lehr was very shocked. This Richard not only had unfathomable strength, but his culinary skills were also so high. Who exactly was he …
After dinner, in the Demon King's room, Lehr sat uneasily on the chair. She looked at him, thinking about something.
"Was dinner to your liking?"
The Demon King suddenly asked.
"Yes, it was very delicious."
Lehr replied. Of course, although this was just polite, it was also her heartfelt words.
"I don't think you're simply inviting me to dinner. I said that I won't reveal any information about the Adventurer's Guild."
The Demon King smiled and said, "I also said that I'm not interested."
Lehr's expression was a bit stiff. Her fingers tapped on the chair.
Then why did he bring me here? Her expression seemed to mean that.
"Perhaps we can be allies, Miss Lehr Phoenix."
Hearing this, Layel was stunned.
This demon, what was he talking about? Alliance?
"I won't …"
"Listen to me first. Of course, I won't let you betray humans."
The Demon King interrupted her.
Lehr's face was tense, like a gas cylinder that would explode at any time. It seemed that betraying the Guild was her bottom line.
"Then you mean you want to help me eliminate the demons?"
She asked so directly.
"No, I don't have that intention. Before answering your question, let me ask you something. Is the Adventurer's Guild's existence to eliminate the demons?"
The Demon King looked into her eyes.
"Although we do that, our Adventurer's Guild is for peace, to prevent humans from being eliminated by the demons."
Lehr looked at him with hostile eyes and said.
"That's right."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that our goal is actually the same."
His words confused Lehr. Perhaps he was trying to twist her thoughts, but it was useless.
"I don't think so, Mr. Demon."
The Demon King's mouth curved slightly and said in a low voice, "I don't intend to let either humans or demons be eliminated. What I want to eliminate is only this war and the source of it."
"In other words, the Demon King and the Brave One."
Hearing this, Lei Er's eyes were filled with shock.
