Professor Yeno directly took half a day off and canceled all afternoon classes, saying that he was preparing for the assembly.
When he hurriedly left the academy, he didn't notice that the shadow under his feet shook slightly.
The time soon came to six or seven in the evening.
Professor Yenuo appeared at the gate of the college on time, and even hired a carriage to pick up Liao Yu and Welch and go to the next "meeting" together.
"Does Mr. Yeno have a family?" Liao Yu asked, pretending to be chatting on the carriage.
As for the skinny professor, his body trembled at first, but he quickly returned to normal. He showed a happy smile and said to Liao Yu:
"Of course, I have a very virtuous and gentle wife and two very lovely daughters. I love them."
"Where are you, Professor Liao Yu?"
"Me? I don't have this plan yet. Family... always feels too far away for me. I have been alone since I was very young. So Mr. Yeno, I envy you very much. This time your Will the lady and children attend the assembly?”
Yenuo shook his head and said calmly: "No, they... they went on a trip."
"Well, that's a pity."
The elf on the other side, listening to the chatter of the two humans in the carriage, didn't know how to interrupt, so he could only sit silently.
And she always felt that Professor Liao Yu seemed to have a point in his words, and Professor Yenuo also... behaved a little strangely.
She must have been overthinking it.
The rally was not too far from the college. The carriage slowly slowed down after walking for a quarter of an hour, and finally stopped at a slightly deserted street.
"Mr. Liao Yu, Miss Wilsey, the meeting place is underground on the opposite street. Please pay attention to the steps and follow me."
"The Korola neighborhood is a very old part of the royal city. The last renovation was done decades ago. The lighting facilities here are very poor. I'm very sorry. Because of limited funds, I can only choose this kind of place. The location went to rent a venue.”
Professor Yeno lit the oil lamp he had already prepared.
At six or seven o'clock, the sky has already darkened, and as Professor Yeno said, most of the street lights here have been scrapped, with only a few emitting a faint light, which will flicker from time to time.
Professor Yenuo, who was holding an oil lamp, walked in the front, followed closely by Liao Yu and Wei Erxi.
The three people along the way didn't say much and fell into silence for a while.
After walking for a few minutes, Yenuo came to a place that looked like an abandoned shop. He opened the iron door with rolling shutters, and Professor Yenuo stopped at the door and made a gesture of invitation to Liao Yu and Wei Erxi.
Wilsey looked into the shop and saw a staircase leading to the basement. There were torches lit on both sides of the stairs, but the light of the flames did not bring a sense of security to Wilsey. On the contrary, she felt... ..
weird.
"Sorry Miss Wilsey, the light stone imprinted with "illumination" is too expensive for us, so we can only use oil lamps and torches instead."
"No...it's nothing. I don't mind, Professor."
Wilshey shook her head quickly, then no longer hesitated and walked step by step down the stairs towards the depths of the basement.
Although the elf said he didn't mind, Liao Yu could clearly feel that Wilsy moved closer to him intentionally or unintentionally, shortening the distance between them.
In fact, the same is true in Wei Erxi's heart. Fortunately, she got to know Liao Yu, and now Professor Liao Yu is accompanying her, otherwise she would have to come to a gathering like this alone...
In short, Wilsey felt very uncomfortable here.
And soon.
This discomfort became much more serious as she descended to the end of the stairs and entered the basement corridor.
Because there are many sculptures in the corridor.
Under the light of the torches on the wall, the outlines of these dark sculptures are very clear.
Take the one closest to Wilsey as an example.
This sculpture is shaped like a giant octopus, with seemingly infinite tentacles, and the tentacles are densely packed with suction cups. Just a glance at it makes Wilsy feel chills in her heart.
This isn't cryptophobia, although Velsey has it too.
But what really made her frown was...
"What's the matter, Miss Wilsey, are you interested in this statue? Let me introduce it to you. This is what I told you in class, the first apostle of the demon clan, the demon cultivator in charge of reproduction. , Ulala.”
Professor Yeno was the last to come down the stairs.
Along with this, the sound of a heavy door closing at the entrance could also be heard.
For Liao Yu and Wilsey who were already in the basement corridor, Professor Yeno's appearance seemed to have changed, becoming talkative, less silent, and...
Got excited.
He returned to the leading position, just like the curator of a museum. Regardless of Welch's unhappy expression, he started to introduce the nine sculptures on both sides of the corridor to Elf and Liao Yu. .
"Look, these snake eyes and scales are the symbols of the wise demons among the demons. Leon, the leader of the wise demons, as the brain of the demons, gathers wisdom and strategy, and is in the position of the second apostle."
"Miss Wilsey, look at this, what beautiful wings and tail, and those antelope-like head horns, which reflect the beauty and charm. Yes, this is the succubus in the demon clan, the third apostle, Ai Lina.”
"Huh? Miss Wilsey's face doesn't look good, is she uncomfortable? Then I must recommend this sculpture to you. Oh, please don't care about her appearance. Although the rot demon looks ugly among the demons, Living with bugs and flesh and blood, the rot demon is also an amazing pharmacist. Any disease and pain in the flesh and blood will be reduced to nothing under the hands of the fourth apostle Alice. "
Professor Yeno became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
It seems that these sculptures, like faith and gods, are the greatest existences in history, and he is a devout believer, singing the glory of the "Lord".
When Wilsey arrived here, no matter how stupid she was, she still noticed something was wrong.
But she still retains the last vestige of naive hope.
"Yeah...Professor Yeno, didn't you teach us in the ancient history class that demons are...invaders? Why do you want to place so many sculptures of invaders here? Why did I start from It sounds like from your tone that you actually... really admire me?"
"Praise? Oh my child, please don't say that. This is the greatest humiliation to me."
Professor Yeno's words just made the elf relax, but in the next moment, Wilsey's whole body became tense.
I saw Professor Yenuo walking up to the statue of the sixth demon apostle. He opened his arms. The excitement and excitement that had been hidden on his face finally had no cover at this moment.
He twisted and laughed wildly, and his ferocious expression turned into a pious gesture. He worshiped the sculpture of an apostle in front of him, holding a skull and his whole body wrapped in bandages.
"How can you praise these great masters? We should respect the nine supreme beings. Their existence is even supreme. But you, me, and all human beings are just ants, and they all use the dreams of fools as excuses. , taking the mediocrity of the ants as a monument!"
“Only by dedicating everything to the Lord, listening to the Lord’s whispers, and following the Lord’s guidance can we be saved and escape from lowliness.”
"Feel honored! You guys today will be my sacrifices to the Lord and to the nine supreme beings."
"so..."
"Don't look like that, Miss Wilsey."
"Let us work together to congratulate the return of the demons and the birth of the new king...a thousand years later!"
