"I ask for the greatest support to Kekmira. The greatest strength. Now let's talk about what you can do." The man who lowered his hood crossed his hands on the table and spoke in a cold and low tone. His white sleeve-length fingers were now covered with scars and scabs. The voice and face have changed a lot compared to before.
But no one present had any doubts about his identity.
No one dares to pretend to be Ufa Ufa, and almost no one is willing to do so - an ordinary person has a great chance of dying before using this identity to get any benefits, which is something that all those who want to take advantage do not want to bear.
The hall was dimly lit and smelled of candles and old tapestries. The fishy smell of morning rain seeped into the cracks in the windows. Sitting around a round table were these people with different attires and smells. There are other guys standing behind some people, and their taste is not bad. An enchanted naked citrine hung directly above Ufa Ufa as temporary lighting. The faces of everyone illuminated were half-light and half-dark, like ghosts.
A few people looked at each other, and more people looked thoughtful, and the flash of crystal swept across their faces.
"We got to the point too quickly. Dear Ufa Ufa. I think many people here still don't know how bad the situation is. Maybe they are taking advantage of the chaos to make a fortune." Sitting in Ufa Ufa. The handsome man opposite Fazheng said calmly.
He was wearing a high-collared robe of gold-threaded purple satin, and the clothes exuded just the right aroma of woody ambergris and cedar. He had just introduced himself as the Foreign Minister of Vicardo's court, Finsi Langvi Dedo. .
"I will take good care of everyone who wants to make a fortune. Every one of them. Your Excellency Fensi Longwe. I am not an ordinary person who is blind and deaf." Ufa Ufa responded in a deep voice.
The conversation was a bit harsh at this point, and many "ordinary people" had uncomfortable looks on their faces, but the Foreign Secretary just shook his finger:
"No need to waste your precious energy. I think everyone here is a reasonable and good person. As long as we share the information we know with everyone, they can make rational judgments."
"The rational judgment is: they may choose to escape." Ufa Ufa sneered.
"What's the value of a guy like that?"
Fenxi Langwei gave a small smile, and his expression returned to its original state within half a second, "Okay, we have been delayed for too long. Instead of hurting each other's feelings here, we should start as soon as possible. Try my method first. "
Ufa Ufa pondered for a moment, but before he could make a decision, a dwarf with a broad beard sitting one seat away shouted: "Fuck! Let him say it!" He was wearing a copper-trimmed leather hat with half of it missing. His face was crisscrossed with ravines, and his body was filled with the smell of earth and rust.
"I would also like to share the valuable news that this minister has brought, which is the basis of everything."
Next to the dwarf, an old man covered in tattered brown robes and exuding an aura of lust also spoke:
"To be honest with you, I have heard a lot about the evil deeds of demons in various places and the continuous waves of denunciation of demons in the past year. But as far as I know, at least at Banbu Xi Ned, the so-called 'disasters' caused by demons..."
He shook his head slightly, cleared his throat forcefully, and before he was about to say anything, he seemed to feel the cold gaze coming from under Ufa Ufa's hood, smiled in a low voice, and then changed the topic:
"Dear Warlock and Operation Commander. I have no other intention. It's just that we always need to know how long the winter is to know how much firewood we should prepare..."
"Your request is very reasonable. Chasimikuka." Ufa Ufa interrupted with a cold voice.
"Thank you for your understanding." Chasimikuka said softly.
"Okay. Then everyone would like to thank you for your positive attitude in fighting the demonic invasion. I will start." Finsi Longwe stretched out half of his brown neck on the purple high collar, and took over the conversation naturally, with an unusually calm tone. It was as if it wasn't him who had just convinced everyone.
"Half a day ago, our chief mage of the palace sent a tip from Vicardo. This is the information recorded by my record officer at the time. I can ensure it is accurate. As long as I know it, you will all know it."
Fensi Longwe waved his hand, and a young man in a light robe came up from behind, walked to his side, bowed to everyone first, and then began to narrate:
"The demonic attack began at six o'clock that afternoon. It began at Nightraven Keep, the birthplace of Nese, the Lightless One, as we know it.
It is worth mentioning that this place has long been set as a restricted area by members of Vicardo's Warlock Society, prohibiting any intelligent creatures from entering to avoid being polluted by the lightless land.
In less than half an hour, the demon reached the deepest part of the Kekmira District from Nightcrow Castle. Within ten seconds about a quarter of the building was razed to the ground. An hour later, more than 80% of all buildings were destroyed, and more than half of streets and public facilities were damaged. The casualties among residents of Kekmila were conservatively estimated at 15,000. Two-thirds of the royal guard were killed, and the other third were half missing and half trying to escape. Countless ordinary guards died, and nearly half of the low-level magicians were lost.
And... what is most distressing to us... the two heirs of the Viennese family also lost their traces during the invasion. As of now, they have not been found. They are probably in trouble. "
"Nightrow Castle. I remember that the entire Sunless Land was purified by the Royal Priest Vicardo, right?"
A slim lady wearing a well-tailored crimson warlock robe interrupted. There was a faint citrus fragrance floating around her body. The strange light of citrine shines on her body, which makes her look warm and harmonious.
"Obviously, these usually complacent methods of priests all fail when we really need to fight against evil. Just like before." Ufa Ufa said coldly.
"If we can get through this disaster safely, I have to consider reducing the cost of the Royal Chaplaincy." Fensi Longwe sighed softly and touched his nose with one hand, "Then what?"
"The demons did not stay in one place. When they had almost destroyed Kekmira, a large number of demons went to East and West Rez and Bambina. All the walls were destroyed, the canals were filled, and the houses were piled up. Together, they ignited into a demonic fire filled with black smoke, and rolling magma emerged from the ground.
In short, the environment they left behind was in no way suitable for any of the species we're dealing with today. The demons marched, destroying and occupying, until they reached the embankments of the Long River of Atterton. "
The young man stopped narrating and looked at everyone.
"Then what? No more? Did they stop to rest? Or did they go back?" Ms. Tangerine, who was wearing a crimson magic robe, asked eagerly.
"None of them. All the mages who reported the news to us were killed." Finsilanvi said calmly.
