Later, the demon elf further said, "Perhaps you think that I came to you for some conspiracy purpose, but what I want to say is that I only did this for the continuation and growth of the ethnic group.
"I have now understood that only when we grow to a certain extent, will the outside world treat us fairly! Now -
"Person, tell me your choice!"
"I--"
Person hesitated for a moment and finally said, "I am willing to accept your invitation, but this does not mean that I want to transform myself into a demon."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu recently to read and catch up on new books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple.]
Even though Person had already made up his mind to sacrifice himself, it would be too untrustworthy to accept the transformation of the demon without resistance. The reason why he took Joe in this way was mainly to increase the trust of the demon in him.
However, the demon elf in front of him also gave him a guarantee:
"I understand your concerns. The transformation ceremony is not free, and we do not want to create an enemy for ourselves who understands us. Whether or not to transform is entirely voluntary."
"Then when will we set off?"
"In order to eliminate your doubts as much as possible, you can decide the specific time by yourself, but please note that this trip will take at least three days, so please arrange it reasonably."
The subtext of the demon elf's words is that this invitation will not affect Person's normal life in Terminos or even Sluvend. This is also in response to Person's previous doubts.
"Then it will be the day after tomorrow. By then the work at hand will be over and I will have a long vacation, so I will have plenty of time."
After thinking for a moment, Person gave a specific time. Although he wanted to leave immediately with the demon in front of him, he also had to consider the final touches of the city's mysterious lock repair work. If he went now, he would be used.
It's hard to accept that he wanted to go undercover, not betrayal.
Regarding the "visit" time proposed by Person, the demon elf did not refuse, but said that he would contact him again the day after tomorrow, and then left as quietly as he came.
At this time, Xia Duo still maintained the link with the smart brain extension, and had the most intuitive understanding of Person's current mental state. Then, he implanted a new idea into Person -
When you go to work, ask about the situation of the demon elf just now!
After that, he disconnected the link with the Zhi Nao extension and started busy with his own business. It wasn't until noon that he received feedback from Zhi Nao. It turned out that the demon elf that Person had seen in the morning had left a few days ago.
Kate Mill disappeared.
Maybe he was protected by the big shots in the city, so he didn't care whether Person reported him or not.
Person also understood this, so he became more determined to seize this rare contact opportunity, find out the internal situation of the demons, and completely eliminate them from Sluvende.
Maybe the demon descendant is innocent, but Sluvende has had enough of the harm caused by the demon descendant. This kind of hatred cannot be resolved in a few words.
Even if the demons are innocent, Person is willing to sacrifice them for the sake of Sluvende's complete peace.
…
After handling some details of the Intelligent Brain extension in Terminos, Shado can look forward to Person's "visit" the day after tomorrow, but before that, he still has to continue doing what he should do.
Person has come into contact with the demons, or has been approached by the demons, but this does not mean that the Illuminati members will definitely be caught. If it is just the local demons leading the way, Shado does not want to alert the snake so early.
…
Daxia Ling, Linshui Village.
In the restaurant of the lord's villa, Xia Duo arrived late, and Niya asked curiously: "What made you delay the awareness training you agreed to yesterday? If you are later, you won't be able to make it in time for lunch!"
"It's indeed something very important, but for safety reasons, I can't say it out yet. I feel a little sorry for letting you wait in vain all morning."
According to Shado's speculation, the Illuminati should be extremely good at predicting spells. He was worried that if he spoke out, he would be criticized by the other party, so he simply didn't even say it. All plans only existed in his mind.
As for Niya, Xia Duo reached out and gave Niya a piece of snowflake cake. This is Niya's favorite dish recently, made of thinly sliced warp beast meat and deep-fried.
Of course, this is also Xia Duo's favorite dish, but he arrived a little late for lunch, but Niya didn't move for a moment, and she even used magic to keep the dishes in the best condition for him to come over. How could he not be touched!
"Let's continue the training in the afternoon. I'll feel more at ease if I finish it early."
"Um."
Niya nodded and immediately started to enjoy today's lunch. She occasionally talked with Sha Duo and kept eating.
…
In the afternoon, training continued.
Xia Duo created almost the same illusion scenes again and again, and what Niya had to do was to use the methods she learned yesterday to find loopholes in the inherent rules.
From easy to difficult, from easy to deep, Sha Duo set up illusions all afternoon, and Niya looked for loopholes. By the end of the evening, Niya's eyes were full of confidence.
"Let me set up the illusion tomorrow!"
"Yes, standing from the perspective of the question maker may give you a new understanding of the construction of the rule system."
Xia Duo supported Niya in setting the test for him. Even in the early stages of training, the two sides had back and forth and experienced two different perspectives at the same time, which was beneficial to the training itself and even to continued learning in the future.
…
Time flew by, and soon the date agreed between Person and the demon descended.
That morning, Person finished all personal matters early and sat in the courtyard waiting for the "guest" to arrive. While waiting, he once again recalled the process of repairing the mysterious lock two days ago.
Because of the devil's visit, he deliberately increased his vigilance, not only for the part he was responsible for, but also for the parts that other mages were responsible for.
But to his surprise, there were no accidents during the entire repair process. Even if he searched deliberately and forced suspicion, he couldn't find any. All repair processes had gone through repeated inspections.
Not only Person's own inspection, but also the special team sent from above found no problems.
But the more this happened, the more uncertain Person became. When he thought that demons were involved in the previous restoration work, Person couldn't help but have a very pessimistic conjecture in his heart——
Perhaps the city of Terminos is already under the control of the demons, or perhaps the upper echelons of the kingdom have been infiltrated by the demons again!
In this case, what is the meaning of the sacrifice he chose? When all the truth is revealed, perhaps neither side will be able to tolerate him.
Just when Person was upset and wanted to retreat, the wind chime at the door to remind guests of their arrival suddenly rang. The clear ringing brought Person's errant consciousness back to reality. Now in this situation, he no longer has a choice.
.
Then, he stood up and opened the door. When he saw that the person standing safely at the door was not the former colleague who had turned into a demon whom he had seen the day before yesterday, but the current colleague who had participated in the mystery lock repair work yesterday, Person was shocked.
