Chapter 1871 The behind-the-scenes sponsor, terrible guess
At the same time, regarding Cerillo's interrogation, the investigation has also produced a preliminary result.
Ogus's voice was unusually solemn when he sent the message, "Athos, you will never guess what we found. Let's stop exploring the Mystery Node. Let's call Segis to come and take a look!"
Although Ogos intended to keep the secret, Shado understood that if nothing else happened, Ogos should have discovered the connection between Cerillo and Colit.
In other words, Ogus and the others should have discovered the fact that Colit is a demon.
Shado didn't waste any time and immediately called Sergis to teleport back.
…
Return to Genting Tower.
The place Ogus asked Shado to go to during the interrogation also confirmed Shado's guess. It was a heavily guarded magic prison under the Yunding Tower.
The guards took Shado and Sergis outside the single room where Cerillo was. Ogus, Eye of Terror, and Katneedt, who was in charge of diplomatic affairs, were all there.
Shado immediately understood that if everything goes well, the ongoing negotiations between Everesca and the Northland countries will probably open a gap from Uwelen.
After greeting each other, Xia Duo asked:
"Ogos, what did you find that made you lose your composure?"
"Of course it's about this guy inside!"
Ogos pointed at Cerillo, who was being placed in a large, distorted shape by the confinement circle in the prison. His tone was a little heavy but also revealed a hint of disbelief:
"Yesterday, Lacres found some information in this guy's residence. After repeated discussions with Ogus, it was determined that it was a simplified ritual spell intended to transform elves into demons.
"Of course, this spell is still in the perfection stage. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the situation yesterday might have happened not only in the Golden Rose community, but in the entire Everriska!
"We investigated this guy's past whereabouts, and the most exaggerated thing is that not long ago, he just submitted an application to the Government Affairs Department to contract land to establish a herbal cultivation base.
"If the Government Affairs Department had not had other plans for that piece of land, it would probably have been awarded to him! Whenever I think about it now, I still feel a little scared!"
"Building an herbal medicine base? Is the spell that transforms demon descendants related to herbal medicine?" Sha Duo asked again.
"It's related, but it's not related either."
Ogus sighed and explained: "Cerillo first came to Everesca to settle as an herbalist, which allowed him to gain the respect and trust of the vast majority of residents in the Golden Rose community.
"Similarly, this also allows him to conduct some unconventional research without being reported by community residents because of a few doubts.
"If he builds a herbal medicine planting base, he may be able to affect more communities. In fact, the current impact is already large enough.
"Even though a large number of residents of the Golden Rose community witnessed the whole process of Serillo's transformation into a demon yesterday, there are still many surviving residents who begged the Government Affairs Department today to let us release Serillo!"
At the end of the sentence, Ogus's tone was extremely low. Thinking that the residents under his rule actually interceded for a criminal, this was simply a slap in the face!
"Is that all? Who is behind Serillo? And how does he usually get the herbs?"
Xia Duo once again expressed his doubts, "A herbalist who is publicly known in the community has to treat community residents and study ritual spells on his own. He can't go to the mountains to collect herbs in person, right? There must be someone silently supporting him behind the scenes!"
"You're on to the point! We thoroughly investigated all of Cerillo's social relationships after entering Everesca. Guess what we found?"
"What did you find?"
"Funasi Chamber of Commerce! Although there is no direct contact, we interrogated the middlemen who provided Serillo with herbal medicine, and they confessed that the Funasi Chamber of Commerce was behind the funding!"
After speaking, Ogus said meaningfully, "Do you know what this means?"
of course I know!
What Sha Duo didn't expect was that his original plan was for Ogus to discover Colit's traces by investigating Cerillo's past whereabouts, but he obviously underestimated Colit's caution.
From what Ogus said, there is a high probability that the connection between Colit and Cerillo has not been discovered, but the Funas Chamber of Commerce is closely involved with Cerillo.
In normal times, no one might care about this hidden relationship, but once an incident occurs, all traces cannot be cleared away in a short time.
At least there is no way to complete the relevant cleanup work in a low-key manner without arousing suspicion from Everesca.
"Then Colit is also a demon? Are you sure?"
"Just before I informed you, we had re-examined him specifically for demons, and as expected, Colit turned out to be a demon!"
Having said this, Ogus sighed with a complicated expression. He glanced at Katnededt, who was silent at the side, and continued:
"What I'm most worried about now is that the demon planned to assassinate King Intwamian of Uwelon will have a huge impact on Everriska and even the entire Northland!
"Whether this incident is an internal conflict among the demonic forces or a final battle to seize power, it is too heavy for us."
"this--"
Xia Duo was also a little hesitant. If the demon had completely infiltrated and controlled Uvelun, it would be terrible. Unfortunately, although Colit had a miraculous birth, his status within the demon is still not high enough.
, the information learned is very limited.
Just based on the memory of Colit that has not yet been fully assembled, Shado cannot judge whether Uvelun has fallen into the hands of the demon.
Just thinking about the sudden destruction of Uvelun in the not-so-distant future, it was hard for him to say that there was no connection between it!
"Then what are you going to do now?"
Shado knew that it would be impossible to directly seek confirmation from Uwelen, because you couldn't be sure whether the target you found was a demon, and even the King of Intervarmian might not be reliable.
"Sian has gone to the Elf Court. The elders should not have any problems and there should be a proper solution."
What Ogus didn't say is that if the elders also have problems, it will be a disaster for Evereska, a real-life version of "the clown is actually me".
…
In the next few days, the Council of Elders has been waiting for news from the Elf Court, while Shado and Sergis' work of exploring the old Mystery Lock nodes has not stopped.
Even because the future situation has become more uncertain, the time for them to go to the Wild Man Valley to study the new mystery lock has been greatly shortened.
According to Ogos, if it is confirmed that Uvelun has been infiltrated by the demon, then Evereska will have to consider the need to force independence.
At that time, removing the old mystery lock will become the first priority. As for the new mystery lock, you can temporarily replace it with a basic protective mystery lock.
