Chapter 136: Natural and Man-Made Disasters “What’s the point of keeping her alive?…
"Your Highness, where did you take my mother?"
As soon as they arrived at the meeting room, a figure rushed out. It was Mara from the Perseran clan. When she came to pick up Blake last time, she showed hostility towards Cecia.
This time, the same thing happened again, her expression became even worse, and she stared at Cecilia.
"Your Highness, I heard that our commander is here with you. Is he okay now?"
Before Cecia could answer, a pot-bellied vampire came out and saluted her politely. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked like a noble.
"Didn't you say the boss was here? Where is he?"
A burly man looked around and said, "I told you that the boss had gone to the demon tribe to slack off! I came here a few days ago to ask for him, but you said he wasn't here! Do you think we giants are so easy to fool?"
“…”
Headache.
Being surrounded by such a noisy group of people, asking for help all the time, they are like a group of children, chattering and looking for their parents.
Cecia's head was about to explode.
"Stop! Be quiet!"
The deliberately amplified shouting had a magical power that instantly silenced everyone.
"Yes, that's right, they're all here with me."
She clapped her hands and asked Catherine to bring the two leaders up.
"Mother! Are you okay? Did that damned Demon King abuse you? Don't worry, tell me if there is anything wrong. We will take care of it for you."
Mara immediately came up to Blake and checked him nervously, fearing that he might have been wronged in the slightest.
"I'm fine. Cecilia is very nice to me."
Blake rubbed Mara's head naturally, even though she was a head taller than her.
"Commander, I'm glad you're okay."
The fat vampire walked over quickly and handed Wilbert the cloak with a hypocritical smile on his face.
"Where's our boss? Didn't you say he was here too? Why can't I see him?"
Seeing that the vampires and the Perserans had found their leaders, the strong men of the giant tribe became anxious.
He took two steps forward and wanted to question Cecia, but was repelled by magic.
"How dare you! Would His Highness lie to you?"
Catherine stood in front of Cecia and grabbed the strong man by the collar.
Although the two seemed to have a huge size difference, the strong man was completely unable to resist and could only let Catherine drag him away.
The strong man struggled hard and was dragged all the way to the guest room. The leader of the giant tribe, Kai, was lying quietly on the bed.
“Boss!!”
Seeing the unconscious Kai, the strong man knelt down. The man as strong as an ox burst into tears and cried like a child.
"What on earth did you do to our boss? How did he become like this?!"
The sturdy man turned his head and looked at Cecia angrily, with snot and tears on his face.
"Wipe it off."
Cecia threw a rag to him and patiently explained, "It's a long story, but I have nothing to do with him becoming like this. The other two can testify to that."
Before these people came, Cecia had talked to Wilbert and Blake and expressed her suspicion - Kai must have become like this because of the copy.
"You guys are in cahoots with each other! You're all bad people! Who knows if you will protect each other!"
The sturdy man threw the rag on the ground, with liquid still dripping down his face, "Poor my boss! I had no defense against you! It turned out like this..."
As she spoke, the other party started crying again and didn't listen to her at all.
...Are all giants like this?
Cecia sighed and asked Catherine to take the person down and pass the message to the giants, asking them to send someone who could communicate.
Two hours later.
The giant who came this time was very thin, and his arms and legs were like twigs, which could be broken with a little force. It even made people doubt whether he was a member of the giant tribe.
He performed a standard kneeling ceremony to Cecia, and then introduced himself politely: "Nice to meet you, Your Highness the Demon King. I am the leader of the giants."
"I have a rough idea of the specific situation."
Li pushed up his black-framed glasses, and a shrewd light flashed in his light-colored eyes.
"But if the 'copy' is what you said, then all races should know about it."
"Therefore, I think that given the current situation, it is necessary to hold a second chiefs meeting."
"You actually know this?"
Cecilia looked at the other person in surprise.
Over the years, there have been many grievances and frictions between different races. Most people find it difficult to accept establishing diplomatic relations with all races, especially the demons and vampires who are almost mortal enemies.
The last meeting of leaders was held in secret, concealed from most of the people. Only the leaders and a very small number of confidants knew about it.
Since Li proposed the leaders' meeting, it was enough to prove that Kai had great trust in him.
"Your Highness, this is my sincerity."
Li bowed slightly and continued calmly, "The Giants don't believe your story. Plus, the leader got into trouble in the Demon Tribe's territory, so it's hard for you to escape suspicion."
"But the chief has mentioned you to me before."
"He said you are reliable when necessary, and you had a good relationship before. So, I trust you."
Li's eyes were obscure and unclear, at least Cecilia couldn't tell where his "belief" lay.
I am afraid that the so-called "belief" is just a rational statement.
"I know what you mean."
Cecia responded, tapping the table subconsciously, "Holding a leaders' meeting is the best solution at the moment."
It's not just the copy issue that needs to be discussed, there's also pollution and... Boris.
Before this, most people thought that pollution was a natural disaster, but if Boris could control pollution, maybe it was actually caused by humans.
Although controlled pollution is more difficult to deal with, compared to unsolvable natural disasters, they only need to deal with the controllers behind it.
Even if Boris can hide in the pollution, he still has to enter the dungeon regularly. If the leaders of all races can be brought together to hunt Boris in the dungeon, even if he can control the pollution, he will not be able to survive the alliance of the leaders.
"As expected of you, Your Majesty the Demon King!"
There was a false exclamation in the reason's tone, "It is my honor to talk to you."
He saluted again and turned his attention to Kai, who lay unconscious on the bed.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. I will order someone to bring the leader back now. We, the Giants, will also find a way to treat the leader. Maybe there is a way other than the copy to wake him up..."
Three days later.
Since the opening time of the copy is uncertain, the sooner the leaders' meeting is held, the better. The leaders of each major race handle their affairs as quickly as possible and head to the meeting place.
During this period, pollution frequently caused riots, and all races suffered heavy losses. Apart from the demons who had made preparations in advance, only the Perseran tribe in the central area was not threatened by pollution.
"Your Highness, you must be careful. Those leaders have their own ulterior motives. You must strive for the interests of the demon clan."
Before leaving, Catherine gave earnest instructions.
"Don't worry, the advantage is all in my hands this time."
Cecia waved her hand and pulled Chen Ye over, "Here, this is something they don't have."
"Sister, are there really races like porcelain, and the legendary vampires?"
Accustomed to the comfortable life in the demon clan, Chen Ye's expression was nervous yet excited when he heard that he would face the leaders of various races and act as a representative of mankind.
"Yes, I'll introduce them to you one by one when we get there."
She took the thick stack of instructions handed to her by Catherine and pulled Chen Ye into the portal.
…
"What! You said there are humans in the dungeon? The humans mentioned in the ancient books? Do you have any evidence?"
At the long table for eight people, after listening to Cecilia's story, a girl wearing a strange hat slammed the table.
She looked indifferent and kept silent, but the hat on her head had a wrinkled face, and the mouth of the hat opened and closed, expressing its own doubts.
"Besides, it's not certain whether the so-called "copy" is real or fake, let alone human beings. It's simply nonsense!"
"Cheshia is right. I can prove it."
Blake tilted his head and spoke up to confirm for Cecia, "Wilbert and I were both pulled into the copy, and there are indeed many humans there..."
She waved her arms and gestured exaggeratedly.
"What a joke! The Perserans have protected you so well, how could you know any human being?"
The hat's mouth was still mean. It snorted coldly and turned its head to the side. "Hey, the leader of the blood clan, she said you have been to the dungeon as well."
“…I’ve been there, and there were humans there.”
Wilbert was forced to admit that it was rare to see Cecia being humiliated, and he wanted to watch for a while longer.
"Really? You guys won't gang up on me—"
The sharp sound of the hat stopped abruptly, and Cecilia suddenly opened the door, and Chen Ye, who had been prepared for a long time, slowly walked in.
"Wait, you mean this is a human? No, how is this possible, she is a human?"
Seeing a living human appear, the hat was somewhat incoherent. The girl in the hat took a few steps forward and explored Chen Ye's body, and indeed did not find any magic.
"Okay, okay. I admit that creatures without magic are rare, but that doesn't prove that she is human."
The hat still refused to believe it. It argued, "Even if she has no magic power, she is just immune to pollution. She can survive the erosion of pollution, but others will still die!"
"What's the point of keeping her alive?"
"Hant, don't speak too soon."
Cecilia curled the corners of her mouth and took out a special bottle from her arms, with gray-black particles floating in it.
"Pollution? Why did you bring this thing here?"
The hat called "hunt" is like a cat whose tail is stepped on. It jumps far away for fear that the pollution will get on itself.
"Of course it's for you."
She chuckled and handed the bottle to Chen Ye, who took the bottle and opened it without hesitation.
!!!
This time, the other leaders were also shocked.
Although the little bit of pollution in the bottle did not pose any danger to them, the horror of pollution was already ingrained in their bones, and no one ever took the initiative to come into contact with pollution.
"What are you afraid of? Just look carefully. Only the legendary humans can do such a thing."
After hearing Cecia's words, the leaders did not lose their composure like Hunt, and each of them paid attention to Chen Ye's actions.
She poured the gray-black particles into her hands and clenched her palms to prevent the particles from spreading.
The pollution that was always there stayed in her hands like a mouse seeing a cat. It disappeared directly with the touch of her fingertips.
