Chapter 137 The mysterious black-robed man must all die! You all must die...
"...You mean, there are still many humans like this in the copy?"
Hat asked Cecilia, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Ye without blinking.
"Of course, as long as we work together, it won't be a problem to bring back hundreds of humans."
Cecia affirmed that although this statement contained some exaggeration, it was the only way to seduce these profit-seeking guys.
"Ahem...yes, this is a real human being..."
A green-haired grandmother coughed a few times. Her skin was wrinkled like tree bark, and she looked very old. But her eyes were shining as she looked at Chen Ye.
The same is true for other leaders.
After Chen Ye demonstrated his abilities, their attitudes changed 180 degrees. They all surrounded Chen Ye, touching him left and poking him right, as if they were treating a rare treasure.
Facing the strange-looking leader, Chen Ye was full of curiosity, but he didn't dare to ask directly, and his face turned red.
Finally, Cecia couldn't stand it anymore and ordered someone to take Chen Ye away. Then they got back to the topic and started discussing the copy again.
"I believe what the Demon King says."
A man with long blue hair said that he was the king of the mermaids. Although his fish tail had transformed into legs, he still had colorful scales at the corners of his eyes.
"According to what you said, the order of dripping blood in the last meeting is the order of entering the dungeon. And you are the first person to drip blood on the magic circle, so the dungeon is centered around you—"
"No matter where the other bosses are when you start the dungeon, the bosses and humans will appear near you when the dungeon ends."
He has a handsome face and a voice as sweet as a clear spring, and even when he speaks it sounds like singing.
"In that case, please stay here."
?
She stays here?
Cecia was nodding her head at the mermaid's good summary, but the topic changed and her personal freedom was directly restricted.
"Yeah, ahem. Just stay here."
The old grandmother coughed a few more times and slammed the wooden scepter on the ground. "This place is far away from pollution and was built specifically for the leaders' meeting. It is the safest place."
"You can't take me to that little place of the demon clan, right?"
"I second the motion! I heard that the demons had a pollution riot some time ago. It's too dangerous!"
Hat said with a shrill voice and disdain, "You entered the dungeon and disappeared for five days. What if the demons have been contaminated and swallowed by us when we come back? Are you going to die?"
"Yes, what Sister Hat and Grandma Tree said makes sense!"
Blake thought for a moment and agreed with the others' suggestion, "This place is in the central area, very close to the Perseran clan. I will let them protect everyone!"
...Which side are you on!
Cecilia's mouth twitched twice, but she couldn't find a reason to refute.
"On behalf of the vampire race, I agree to this proposal."
Wilbert was also making up the enemy's business, not forgetting to glance at her coldly.
Although there was no emotion in his gaze, she felt it was a provocation no matter how she looked at it!
"There are currently five votes in favor, Your Majesty, I'm sure you won't reject such a successful proposal?"
The mermaid leader looked at her with a smile, his eyes as gentle as water, but deep inside them was a pool of smelly, black, stagnant water.
"Of course... not."
Cecia gritted her teeth and agreed to the proposal. Under the cover of the long table, she stepped on Wilbert in retaliation.
"But I also have a suggestion."
She glanced around, pausing for a few seconds on Blake and Wilbert in particular.
"Everyone, please stay here with me."
After these words were spoken, the expressions of the other leaders all looked unhappy.
Each race has a lot of things to do, and there have been frequent riots in the past few days. Except for the Perseran family, everyone else is busy and exhausted. If you stay in this closed place, it will be difficult to handle official business.
"Okay, okay! I'll go with you!"
Blake readily agreed to the proposal, and under the cover of the black robe, his eyes stared at Cecilia with sparkling eyes.
"I'm afraid this isn't necessary?"
The blue-haired mermaid looked embarrassed and bit her lip in embarrassment. "Anyway, no matter where we are, as long as we enter the dungeon, we will eventually return to this place."
"Your Highness the Demon King, it is enough for you to stay here."
"Yeah! Don't try to trick us into staying with you!"
The hat is still menacing, forming a huge contrast with the expressionless girl underneath it.
"Why, do you want to be like Kai?"
Cecia raised her eyebrows and swung the wine glass in her hand lazily, "I've already said it, the reason why Kai is unconscious is because something went wrong in the dungeon."
"During these three days, I'm sure the giants have bothered you a lot. Has it been of any use?"
She took a sip of her wine, admiring their changing expressions.
"No one here knows more about dungeons than me. Alas, I wanted to share all the information about dungeons with you out of kindness, but unfortunately, no one appreciated it..."
Anyone could tell from the exaggerated tone of regret that he was just pretending.
But what Cecilia said just hit their weak spot.
"Your Highness, I was inconsiderate just now."
The blue-haired mermaid was the first to change her attitude. "I am willing to stay. Just give me one day to go back and explain the affairs of the tribe."
"Okay, I'm also interested in that copy you told me about, count me in."
The hat spoke reluctantly.
After someone expressed their opinion, the other leaders agreed and expressed their desire to stay with Cecia.
"You don't have to keep all of them. It's noisy."
She drank the red wine in the glass and said, "Remember the order I just mentioned? Anyone who wants to enter the dungeon next time can just stay with me."
"Well... I have cleared four copies so far, in the order of Cecia, Wilbert, me, and the Giants."
Blake recalled the scene of the last meeting, "No, that's not right. I remember there was a man in black robes behind me, and the giants were behind them."
"What black-robed man? Aren't you the black-robed man?"
The hat twisted its body, "You didn't mark yourself down twice, did you?"
"No, Blake is right. There was another person in black robes besides her at the last meeting."
Cecia interrupted Hat's words and said coldly: "But the man in black robe didn't come today."
In the Western fantasy world, there are countless tiny races, but only eight of them have the ability to fight pollution.
So there were eight leaders in the last leaders meeting, but today, only six leaders came.
Except for the unconscious giant leader Kai, the black-robed man behind Blake did not come either.
"...I was very surprised that he was able to come last time."
Grandma stood up tremblingly. She was the mother tree of the sacred tree clan and had lived for hundreds of years. She could be said to be the oldest among the leaders, so she knew many secrets that others did not know.
"He is the leader of 'them'. This tribe is very mysterious and I don't know their specific name, but they are older than the God Tree Clan."
She stumbled and spoke with a hoarse voice, "I was able to know his identity because he took out a token. There was a totem of a mysterious race engraved on it... I had seen it in the ancient books of the tribe."
"They are hard to understand. It's not certain whether the dripping blood is really his. It's not surprising that the copy skipped him."
"So, after the leader of the giants, I will be the next one."
The blue-haired mermaid took the initiative to stand up, still with a warm smile on her face, "I will stay with His Majesty the Demon King. Please explain the relevant information of the dungeon."
After the meeting, the leaders left one after another, and Cecia and the others had to return to the territory first and come back here after giving instructions for the rest of the matter.
Before leaving, Blake sneaked up to Cecia and whispered, "...that mysterious man in black robes smells like blood."
blood?
She wanted to ask more, but Blake only found this and no other information.
…
"Your Highness, what is the situation?"
As soon as they arrived in the demon territory, Catherine came to greet them.
"It's basically settled, but I need to live in the central area during this period. The affairs of the demon tribe will be left to you."
Cecilia stretched her sore shoulders and handed the chores to Catherine with peace of mind.
“…Yes, sir.”
Catherine's expression was stiff, but it was not the first day that the other party was a hands-off boss, so she was somewhat used to it.
"Your Highness, I think there is something you need to know."
"The pollution rioted again yesterday, but the form was different from before. The boundary of the pollution did not expand, but gray-black particles floated out and controlled several demons."
Catherine pushed up her glasses, her expression serious.
"Although humans can purify the pollution, as far as I know, the same thing has happened in the territories of other races. Without human help, they can only kill their own kind to avoid causing greater losses."
"For this purpose, I have specially left a controlled demon. You have to go and see it."
"Let's go."
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Cecilia and Catherine teleported to the eerie dungeon.
Although the environment is bad and the light is dim, this is where the best confinement magic is found.
"Kill... Kill! Everyone must die! You all must die!"
As soon as he arrived at the place, the demon showed violent emotions. The whites of his eyes were completely covered with gray and black pollution, and he had lost his self-awareness.
Seeing Cecia approaching, he struggled desperately. Even if the magic ropes on his body cut into his flesh, he was determined to move towards them, with only his manic instincts left.
"After being polluted and controlled, they will lose all emotions and reason, and turn into monsters that only know how to kill. They will kill all creatures they see until they die."
"It happened suddenly. By the time the guards discovered something was wrong, he had already killed his child."
Catherine explained, "I didn't let him return to normal. One reason was that I wanted to show you this horrific state, and the other was that I was afraid he wouldn't be able to accept it."
Boris...is this your new trick?
Thinking of the other party's means of controlling humans in the copy, hatred flashed in Cecia's eyes, and the desire to kill in her heart grew wildly, and her eyes turned bloodshot.
“As long as humans are around, pollution is not a problem.”
Catherine added, turning her head to look at Chen Ye, "Try putting your hand on top of his head."
Looking at the monster in front of him, Chen Ye swallowed and mustered up the courage to do as he was told.
In less than a few seconds, the other person's eyes became clear and he looked at the few people in confusion.
"...Where is this? Your Highness the Demon King, why are you here?"
