Through the mirror, Li Yue could not understand this man's heart and guessed that he should be the manager of the Magic Mirror of the Kingston family.
Logically speaking, Jesse should have said hello to him, but he didn't expect that this man had no reaction after receiving his communication.
"Van Helsing...Jesse..." The two eyes of the dead man's face focused on each other, and then countless faces flashed by. Li Yue even saw Van Helsing in his right eye.
Van Helsing, whose right eye was swollen, was in the Sixth Library and had just received the blood from Jesse.
"Please wait a moment..." Dead Face seemed to have completed some kind of authentication and murmured.
Immediately afterwards, the glasses and skin of the dead face turned outwards, and the whole face began to squirm. After a while, it turned into the look of Jesse, except that the eyebrows were crooked.
Li Yue figured it out. It turned out that the dead face was a human body phone.
"Van Helsing? Your collection has made good progress. It has been pieced together to the point where it can be used..." Jesse straightened his eyebrows and then realized that the magic mirror was complete.
"Already healed?!" Jesse was pleasantly surprised, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
It had only been a week or two since the two of them worked together to destroy Beelzeboum's hotbed. Jesse thought that they could only collect a rough idea, but he didn't expect that the entire holy relic had been pieced together.
Of course she didn't know that Li Yue also went to the dungeon to collect a copper dwarf, and then slowly walked through three safe areas to collect broken mirrors...
Otherwise, the task would have been completed long ago.
"Good sleep is important." Li Yue responded in a thoughtful tone, and then noticed the sweat beads on Jesse's forehead, "What are you busy with?"
"The Devil's Expeditionary Force sets off and the continent is plunged into war. Every family and every brave man has something they should do." Jesse did not answer directly.
Li Yue thought to himself...the brave men here in Demon King City are indeed very busy.
I'm busy collecting materials in the Colosseum.
"Oh? But I heard that the Tas Empire did not lend a helping hand to the Holy City, and the major families would not be so kind to send private armies. So what are you busy with?" Li Yue was very concerned about the battle situation of the First Army.
This time I finally found a channel with a relatively authoritative source of information, so I naturally wouldn’t let it go.
"Of course all the major families have their own plans..." Jesse thought for a while and decided to tell Van Helsing something, "For example, help the strong members of the family advance to the next level and take advantage of the war to increase their strength as soon as possible."
"Huh? You've already reached the Holy City to improve your strength? Don't you think it's a bit late..." Li Yue muttered, suddenly remembering what the little newsboy said.
"Once the Holy City falls, the faith of the Kaios continent will collapse, and the Tas Empire doesn't care?"
"It is because of the Holy City that we can reorganize our strength..."
"Many times, war is an antidote." Jesse said lightly.
Li Yue also understood that the royal family and nobles of the Tas Empire... were using the Holy City as a shield.
"Oh, what was the Holy City like?" As one of the pillars of the Tas Empire, the Kingston family obviously knew a lot of inside information.
Li Yue also continued to question Jesse, wishing he could not "communicate" with her face to face.
"You want to see it? Here." Jesse stared in front of the mirror, pulled her right eyelid, and Li Yue saw a blurry reflection in her eyes.
In the reflection, a town was covered in red mist, and flames shot out from time to time in the air, burning the bones on the ground; in the shadow of the scorched walls, red-skinned demons with scorched corpses in their mouths occasionally walked past, and they pushed each other,
Pulling cartloads of living people towards the town square.
In the town square, countless human beings have built towers. They are not dead yet, their eyes are open but their pupils are white, sometimes desperate, sometimes sad, sometimes ecstatic.
Inside the stacked towers, people are connected by blood vessels, which then merge into thick and tangled blood vessels and connect to the giant bloody cocoon in the middle of the square.
The giant cocoon swallowed thick red and black fog from time to time, projecting pieces of meat and escaping into the southern sky.
"What is this?" Li Yue could probably tell that this should be some kind of blood cocoon magic of the pure-blood demon. Those high towers seemed to have become human flesh batteries for the cocoon to absorb flesh and blood.
"The demons are using the emotions of the townspeople to make food and strengthen the army." Jesse's voice fluctuated slightly, "This is their newly developed magic. In a town like this...it's everywhere on the road from the Demon King's City to the Holy City.
visible."
Li Yue was silent for a moment.
"So you are going to clear this town?" Li Yue knew that Jesse could not act alone, and the Kingston family would never allow the second heir to wander outside.
"Why are you asking these questions? Are you worried about my safety? Or are you afraid that the expeditionary force will reach the banks of the Lund River? Your hometown? That it will be like this?"
"Don't worry, unless they can defeat the Tas Empire, they won't hit those farther north. At most, they will only be some scattered demons who ran away from the Demon King's City..."
"Instead of worrying about the demons, you should worry about the Knights of the Snow Country. They like to take advantage of others' misfortune..."
"And as far as I know, ruins, refugees and bandits have long been left on the Lunde River. Do you really care about that place?" Jesse said for a moment and gave Li Yue a teasing look.
Jesse knew that Li Yue was a tentacle monster, but never revealed it.
"But you still haven't answered me. Are you planning to clear out the town?" Of course, what Li Yue cares about is not the situation on the Lunde River, but the direction of the entire war.
From Jesse's actions, we can feel the Tas Empire's attitude towards the expeditionary force.
"Of course not. It's not time for us to take action yet." Jesse shook his head.
"The demons are in full strength. The Holy City is shrinking and ready to counterattack. What we have to do is to prepare before the moment of attack arrives..."
"What preparation?"
"Of course it's promotion." Jesse's expression suddenly became serious.
Li Yue thought of the bustling braves in front of the Colosseum - most of them came here for materials. There were only a handful of people who really wanted to kill the Demon King, and Li Yue only met one and a half in total.
One is Sawyer and half is Rain Man.
"You are so strong, but you don't know? Every time there is a war, the cards are shuffled, and it is also the moment when authority is loosest." Jesse was stunned.
Li Yue was also stunned.
Do brave men also have authority?
Is there a person with authority at the end of every "road"?
This should not be the same thing as the authority of the Demon King's Castle.
"Oh, I forgot, you are not a noble." Jesse suddenly realized.
"Knowledge related to authority is only spread among nobles?"
"Of course not. The royal family, the nobility, the association... the inheritors of the ancient road, they know it." Jesse blinked at Li Yue, "How about it, do you want to know? But you need to tell me your path first.
Can."
"Forget it, no need." Li Yue didn't know what to say.
"Hey, you want to open up new authority? I'm looking forward to it. But if you want to know, you can come and pledge your allegiance to me at any time. I won't treat you badly." Jesse seemed to have finally found a card that could take advantage of Van Helsing.
Up to joy.
"Okay." Li Yue did not intend to continue to dwell on this topic - now that he had a general understanding of the situation of the war,
"Now that I have the holy object, how can I give it to you? And... what about the reward?" Li Yue knocked on the mirror.
"The holy object is complete. The Kingston family can take it back at any time." Jesse smiled and touched the mirror. The magic mirror also shook for a while, as if it was about to break away from Li Yue's hand at any time.
Li Yue tightened his grip and realized that some kind of space magic was sealed on the mirror, and then felt very relieved.
With space magic, the particles of the balls can be broken at any time, so you are not afraid of being rejected by Jesse.
"But I'm not in a hurry." Jesse raised his eyebrows, "War is the next stage for me to advance, but before the Tas Empire fights the demons, I still have to make a lot of preparations for the ceremony, so...
"
"Let's trade." Li Yue predicted that the topic would go this way, "I also need something."
"Very good." Jesse smiled, "But aren't you worried...that after I know the materials you need, I will also know your path?"
"Don't worry at all." Li Yue directly sewed the list of demands sent by Tom onto a piece of picked-up human skin and threw it into the mirror.
Seeing the words "Magic Cannon" neatly sewn on the first line of human skin, Jesse couldn't help but laugh.
