"Cooperation is okay, but I have three conditions." Mag looked at Melant and said calmly.
"Say." There seemed to be a flash of light in Merant's blue-white eyes.
“First, after cooperation, I will be the leader of all actions. You must cooperate and not act without authorization;
Second, our cooperation is completely confidential and no third party can know about it. I think this is what you want.
Third, Annie can provide a drop of blood, but other than that, you cannot ask for anything else, otherwise I will terminate the cooperation in my own way. Mag said calmly.
Merant thought for a while, nodded seriously and said, "I agree to your conditions."
Noah's mouth was slightly open, not expecting that Melant would agree to such harsh conditions.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Mag picked up the tea cup.
"It's a pleasure to work together." Merant and Noah also raised their glasses and drank it down in one gulp.
After confirming the cooperative relationship, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Noah put away the turtle shell and asked with a smile: "Then when will we set out to catch the devil? Is that guy really in the City of Chaos?"
"The City of Chaos is such a big place, and you only found me here, which means that guy is not here at all." Mag shook his head. Although the system's detection ability is not as good as a stone, if the old ruler appears in Chaos The city is not completely unresponsive.
"Do you know where he is?" Merant asked, looking at Mag.
"It can only be said to be an inference. Yesterday, the Los Empire launched a war against the orcs and elves. I found a corpse that had been drained of essence and blood at the scene of the Twilight Forest, and found a strong ghost aura. I think this matter must have something to do with the devil." Mag took out the photo stone and played the tragic scene in the Twilight Forest that was taken yesterday for Merant and Noah to watch.
"This is the massacre after the war." Merant frowned slightly.
"But this may be a war caused by the devil. The second prince of the Los Empire, Qiao Xiu, may have sold his soul to the devil, and then took advantage of the king and the eldest prince to attend the peace conference in the City of Chaos to launch a war and order Slaughter all the conquered tribes." The playback screen stopped at the corpse that had been drained of menstrual blood.
"This is it!" Merant stood up suddenly and looked at the body in shock.
"Have you seen it?" Mag asked.
"This is the body left behind by a person controlled by the devil who absorbed the resentment and blood essence of a recently deceased corpse in order to strengthen himself. Five hundred years ago, I once encountered a demon controlled by the devil. At that time, he slaughtered many people. In small villages, all the corpses left behind are like this." Merant nodded solemnly, "I didn't expect it to appear again now."
Mag thought thoughtfully, and this was basically consistent with his inference, and said: "I don't know where to look for the half of the devil that escaped, but Qiao Xiu may be a breakthrough direction. We need to find him first and bring him back." He catches or kills him to prevent him from growing up and becoming the next devil."
"He is the devil's spokesman. When he reaches a certain level of strength, the devil will find him personally and take away his body. We really need to find him as soon as possible." Merant nodded.
"Let's set off tonight. I will take you to the Twilight Forest, where he last appeared." Mag agreed on a time.
"That little girl's essence and blood..."
"I'll leave it to you tonight."
"Okay, then I won't disturb you." Merant nodded, got up and left with Noah.
Mag didn't get up to see the guests off, but poured himself another cup of tea.
Uniting all forces to deal with the Old Ones is his current primary policy.
The anti-Old Dominators alliance within the Nolan Continent has basically taken shape, but now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Everyone is trying to catch the devil and cannot determine the location of the devil. No matter how many people there are, it is useless.
Merante's tortoise shell stone is quite mysterious and can detect the existence of the devil. Even Anne who has been successfully purified can be found by him, which shows that he is indeed a wise man and has the demeanor of a reclusive master.
He had to find Qiao Xiu and kill him before he caused something bigger.
"Father, are those two guys bad guys just now?" Amy poked her head out from the corner of the stairs and looked at Mag who was drinking tea alone and asked.
"Not a bad guy." Mag smiled and shook his head, waving to the little guy.
Amy came to Mag and looked at his eyes: "If you are threatened, just blink."
"No one threatened me." Mag smiled and touched the little guy's head. It seemed that she was still worried about him just after going upstairs, and she couldn't help but feel a little touched.
"I'm super powerful now. If there are bad guys who want to hurt father, you must tell me and I will help you beat them up." Amy clenched her little fist, "I am super fierce."
"Well, my little tiger is super fierce." Mag nodded with a smile, but the little guy trying to act fierce was too cute and not intimidating at all, and people couldn't help but want to pinch her little face.
"Hehe." Amy fell into Mag's arms and rubbed her little head against Mag's chest, "Then let's have roast goose tonight, okay?"
…
"Grandpa, can you trust that guy? Do we really have to obey his orders?" Noah asked in a low voice as he followed Merante out of Maimi's Restaurant.
"I heard that there was a young man from the tribe who was very powerful recently. He killed many people. Benson, Westin, Bruno, etc. all fell under his sword." Merant said with a bit of emotion in his tone. , these are all strong men of his era.
"You mean he is Alex!" Noah's eyes widened suddenly and he said in shock.
"A thirty-year-old human being can give me such strong pressure. There should be no other person besides him." Merant nodded slightly.
"But he is the Nolan Continent's number one knight, a dragon-slaying warrior who can go up to the sky and slay giant dragons, a terrifying existence that killed the forest troll king... How come he became the owner of a restaurant and the father of a baby?" Noah still looked in disbelief. They had been traveling on the Nolan continent for these years, and he had heard a lot of rumors. Alex's story was his favorite.
Alex is a legend that has transcended races and become a legend in the entire Nolan continent.
A human, a sword, and a purple-striped griffon can kill the strongest men in the world and capture the heart of a beautiful elf princess. He has always been regarded as an idol by Noah.
But such a super strong man has now become the owner of a restaurant and a father with three children.
"Everyone has their own life and secrets. If you want to live longer, it's best not to try to explore other people's secrets." Merlant said lightly.
Noah had a bunch of questions on his lips and swallowed them back. He looked back at Maimi's Restaurant and thought to himself: "I don't care about the secret, but I can have a good relationship with my idol. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
…
"A catastrophe is coming. I wonder if she can bear the heavy responsibility of saving the world..." Outside the gate of the City of Chaos, the bishop wearing a white robe put down his hat and looked at the towers of the City of Chaos in a daze.
"Sir, it's time to go," the person in line behind urged.
"Sorry." The bishop retracted his gaze, nodded slightly, and followed the crowd into the city of chaos.
…
"The entire city is on alert, and inspections upon entering the city have been strengthened. All posts are under round-the-clock surveillance to guard against possible invading enemies from anywhere."
"Assemble a rapid reaction force and be ready to march to support other parts of the Peace Alliance."
"The war may start at any time, so you must be alert."
Michael spoke solemnly to the officials of the City Lord's Palace in the meeting hall.
Everyone broke up the meeting and left, each starting to work.
The peace conference was suddenly suspended, the Los Empire launched a war, and the city lord's palace quickly became busy.
"City Lord, Louis has arrived in the living room." Dix stepped forward and said.
"I'll go over right away." Michael picked up the teacup and drank the water in one gulp, stood up and walked out, while asking, "Are our interrogation documents ready?"
"Yes, it's ready. I've rewritten it according to your revisions yesterday and am about to show it to you." Dix nodded.
"Wait a minute, I'll see Lewis first." Michael nodded and quickened his pace a little more.
After the war began, Michael hardly rested.
I thought that the Los Empire just wanted to add some bargaining chips to the negotiations, but judging from the results, this war has exceeded everyone's expectations. The Los Empire's methods were more cruel than the race wars of the past, killing dozens of orcs. tribe, and almost even captured the Og tribe, killing more than 50,000 innocent orcs.
This was a huge blow to the orcs and an indelible hatred.
The death and injury situation among the elves was slightly better. The defense of the City of Life was very successful, and Irina's timely arrival also prevented the situation from deteriorating.
However, after encountering a raid by their most trusted neighbor, even the core city was almost breached, and the Tree of Life was almost destroyed, the elves may no longer be able to trust the Los Empire as an ally.
All tribes have raised the level of war, and the strong ones have stayed behind to guard against possible situations.
There is no hope of renewing the peace treaty, and a new round of ethnic war may break out at any time. Now everyone of all ethnic groups is in danger.
"Michael, the Dragon Clan has reached an agreement. If the Los Empire does not make a satisfactory response to this matter, our Dragon Clan will send an expeditionary force to the Los Empire." Louis looked at Michael who came in and got straight to the point. road.
Michael sat down opposite Lewis, thought for a moment and nodded: "The City of Chaos will respond to the Dragon Clan's decision in the name of the Alliance of Peace allies, and will send an elite force to join the Dragon Clan to attack the Los Empire."
"Okay, I will convey your words." Louis nodded and said, "But does Alex have any news about the devil?"
"I haven't received any more news from him now, but I believe he has been investigating this matter." Michael shook his head.
"Okay, I have to go to the Goblins and Dwarves now. If you have any news about the devil, I hope you can tell us the dragon tribe as soon as possible." Louis stood up and said.
"Okay." Michael also stood up to see off the guests.
…
Roast goose became an instant hit and became a favorite among gourmets because of its special texture and wonderful taste that is irresistible. Mag was not surprised at all, even he himself couldn't resist the temptation of roasting goose.
At the end of the night, Mag purchased a blood collection and preservation device from the system and sucked a drop of blood from Annie's finger.
The two children were a little tired after playing for a day, and fell asleep before Mag's story was finished.
"I met two people from the ghost tribe. They may be able to find Qiao Xiu and the old ruler who escaped the seal. I will go to the Twilight Forest with them tonight." Mag left the room and looked at Yi Irina said, leaning on the door frame.
"The old man looks a little bit evil, are you sure it's okay?" Irina glanced out the window. Melant and Noah's grandson were already waiting under the trees in the park not far away.
"They used a tortoise shell stone to find me. They said that they sensed the aura of the old ruler from my body. I think he does have some real abilities." Mag nodded. This kind of human flesh detector is rare. , compared to running around like a headless fly, it is obviously more efficient to scan with a radar covering 500 kilometers.
"Be careful." Irina warned.
"Okay." Mag nodded slightly, turned around and went downstairs.
"What you want." Mag threw the small crystal bottle in his hand to Merant.
Merante reached out to catch it and raised the small crystal bottle to the moon. A drop of pale golden blood was as bright as a gem.
"As expected, he is the purest one. Even his blood is so pure." Merant was a little stunned.
"Hello..." Noah, who knew Mag's identity, was obviously much more humble in his attitude, and his eyes when looking at Mag also changed a bit, becoming more admiring.
"Well, hello." Mag nodded slightly. He had a good impression of the boy with the killer haircut, and then said, "It's time to go."
"Okay, let's set off now." Merante carefully put away the small crystal bottle.
Not long after, a purple-striped griffon quietly left the City of Chaos and flew towards the Twilight Forest.
"Should I call you Mr. Alex, or Boss Mai?" Noah sat next to him, looking at Mag and asked a little nervously.
"Whatever you want." Mag said casually. Noah even went to the restaurant to have a meal tonight.
"Then I'll call you Boss Mai. It feels more cordial." Noah grinned and sat closer to Mag. It seemed that after changing the title, their relationship really became much closer. Normally, "My name is Noah."
"Ark?"
"ah?"
"nothing."
"Ark... this nickname is okay, you can call me whatever you want." Noah smiled, showing his true nature as a licker.
"Yes." Mag agreed, preparing to close his eyes and rest for a while.
"I didn't expect that while you are a powerful knight, you are also an extremely good chef. You must be working very hard, right?" Noah looked at him expectantly and asked.
"No, this is just a result of talent and has nothing to do with hard work. Just like no matter how hard you try, you can't beat me." Mag said calmly.
"Well……"
