Chapter 74 He is dangerous [Identity card "Villain Daughter"]...
"Catherine, what's going on now?"
Cecia asked tiredly, the sides of her head aching from lack of rest.
"The survivors have been settled, but the pollution has swallowed up a quarter of the demon clan's territory. Several demon mines have also been covered by pollution and can no longer be mined..."
Catherine reported in a deep voice, one attack after another came, and this time the demons suffered heavy losses.
"Since Blake is still unwilling to leave, Perseran and the others are willing to provide help, but this is just a drop in the bucket - Your Highness, the demon clan may really not be able to be saved."
The pale voice was filled with sorrow, and every word struck her heart. The mountain of "responsibility" weighed on her, and she had never felt so powerless.
[Dear players, there are 72 hours, 00 minutes, and 00 seconds left before the next instance opens. Please prepare in advance. ]
The mechanical sound of the system suddenly rang in my head, like a fire suddenly lit up in the endless night.
“There is another way!”
Cecia stood up suddenly, and rekindled her hope.
"Chen Ye can move freely in the polluted area and can also remove the pollution from the demons. As long as there are enough humans, the demons can regain their territory."
Watching the countdown for the opening of the dungeon, she wished that time would flow faster - not for the so-called vacation, but for the survival of the demon clan.
"Catherine, go investigate Boris. He is the brother of the current leader of the blood clan..."
"I've heard of that name."
Catherine interrupted her, recalling what she had heard.
"Boris is very prestigious in the vampire race. He is of noble birth, not only has a good appearance, but also has a gentle and polite personality. People hope that he will become the leader."
"But he disappeared before taking office, and in the end, his younger brother had to take over as the leader."
"For this reason, many discordant voices have emerged within the group, some believing that if the one controlling the vampires is not Boris, there will definitely be problems. Therefore, many vampires are still looking for Boris's whereabouts."
She told him all the information she knew and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why are you asking about him?"
"He's dangerous."
Cecia spoke bluntly, looking through the information about pollution in recent years, "Catherine, you should pay attention to the news from the blood clan, but don't investigate it yourself. He may be related to the pollution."
Relevant records show that the spread of pollution suddenly accelerated a year ago, which coincided with the time when Boris disappeared. In addition, the other party was able to walk into the polluted area with a swagger and even left a note...
Can he control pollution?
Amazing ideas popped up in her mind, growing like weeds. Cecilia told Catherine to continue to handle the affairs, and she walked towards the guest room.
Now, pollution plagues all races, no one knows where it comes from, and no one knows what it is. For hundreds of years, they have only discovered that they can use magic to slow down the spread of pollution.
As for pollution itself, they know nothing about it.
Although the appearance of Boris brought disaster, it also allowed Cecia to see an unprecedented breakthrough - perhaps, through him, she could study the pollution and completely eliminate this deadly thing.
"Blake, come with me."
She called Blake to Wilbert's room, and for the first time the leaders of the three races had a peaceful conversation.
Since Wilbert was present, Cecia did not mention Boris, but started the discussion from the ancient magic circle.
After going through three copies, she was almost certain that the system was related to the ancient magic circle, and Boris was just an accident.
He can control the pollution, so it is not surprising that he can force his way into the dungeon, and the dungeon does not recognize his identity as a "player" at all.
So, she concealed the part about Boris and revealed all her other knowledge and speculations about the copy.
"...You mean, everyone who enters the dungeon cannot use magic?"
Wilbert stared at her coldly, his eyes seemed to kill her, "What about you, are you the same?"
Cecilia knew she was in the wrong, so she nodded and admitted it honestly.
“You are really capable.”
He sneered, thinking back to the times he had compromised because of "Chexia's ability to use magic", and he felt angry.
"Let's not talk about that."
Cecia quickly changed the subject, trying to divert someone's attention.
"I initially thought that Will entered the dungeon because of me. So before the third dungeon opened, I specifically found the leader of the giants, but he couldn't enter the dungeon with me. Instead, Blake was pulled into the dungeon."
As she said that, she turned to look at Blake, "Do you remember where you were before entering the dungeon?"
"I'm in Perseran's territory, and they won't let me go out."
Blake answered truthfully that she was very interested in the copy and said it felt like "going on an adventure with friends."
Then, Cecia turned her head and looked at Wilbert.
"…I am in the vampire territory."
He answered reluctantly.
"From this, it can be concluded that whether or not you enter a dungeon has nothing to do with your current location."
Cecia drew on the paper with a pen and made a summary.
"From the current situation, the humans in the dungeon come from different worlds. They can only enter the dungeon if they die in their original world, and they can only enter once. After clearing the level, they will stay in our world forever."
"And we were forced to enter the dungeon multiple times."
She drew three circles on the paper and analyzed it carefully.
"There was only me in the first copy, Will and I in the second copy, and Blake and Boris joined in the third copy... Ignoring the variable of Boris, the number of leaders entering the copy will increase by one each time."
She drew a corresponding number of little people in each of the three circles, then raised her hand and drew a fourth circle.
"Also, you can see the countdown for the dungeon, which means we are going to enter the fourth dungeon together. There should be another boss this time."
She drew four little people in the fourth circle and put a question mark on the last little person's head.
"If we can figure out the order in which we enter the dungeon, we can know who the fourth person is."
"Hmm... could it be the order of the blood dripping?"
Blake raised his arms high, like a student trying to speak in class. "When a secret meeting is held, each leader must drip blood into the magic circle."
"I remember it very clearly! The first one was Cecia, the second one was him, and the third one was me..."
“Very likely!”
Cecia gave a positive answer. She took a piece of dessert from the table and fed it to Blake. "It seems that Kai left too early. He was the fourth one to bleed."
"I'll find a way to contact him again. You two can go back first."
"But I haven't had enough fun yet. There are so many new and interesting things here..."
Blake spoke incoherently, not yet swallowing the dessert in his mouth.
"In less than three days, we will enter the dungeon again. You will have fun then."
Seeing that she had almost finished chewing, Cecia stuffed another macaron into her mouth and said, "Rest well when you go back, and take some time to read the ancient books of your race."
"I have read all the ancient books of the demon clan, and there is no information about pollution or ancient magic arrays. Maybe you can find relevant information."
"I understand. I left temporarily so that I would have the energy to play in the dungeon!"
Blake swallowed the macaroon hard, turned around and ran out the door, telling Mara that he was leaving, which made her very happy.
"Then I'll be leaving first. The vampires have a lot of things to deal with."
Wilbert said coldly, wishing he could leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
After seeing Wilbert off, while Mara was packing her things, Cecia pulled Blake back.
"Blake, did the copy give you an identity?"
She asked, since she wanted to take the copy seriously, she couldn't miss any useful information.
"Identity? Is that what you mean?"
Blake opened the system interface without hesitation and clicked on his identity information to show it to her.
[Identity Card "Villain Daughter"]
[Evil Will Be Repaid with Evil (Passive): As a Villain, you cannot attack creatures that are kinder than you. The higher the evilness of the enemy, the more damage you will inflict after attacking.
Note: This passive effect can be shared with teammates. "Good" and "evil" are defined by the system, which is basically the same as the secular definition. 】
[Prominent Family Background (Passive): Your wealthy family background gives you a unique and noble temperament, making it easier for you to gain the respect of others. 】
【? ? (initiative):? ? ? 】
...The passive skill of this identity is really suitable for her.
To this day, Cecia has never met a kinder person.
But why is the only active skill a string of garbled characters? Is there something wrong with the system?
Facing Blake's innocent smile, Cecia knew that she couldn't get any useful information from her, so she let her go.
When they returned to their own territory, Cecia had wanted to invite Kai over and tell him about the copy in advance.
But the other party refused without hesitation and refused to come again no matter what, so she had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, the vicious incident of pollution expansion did not happen again. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the spread rate was controlled and everything was back on track.
While people were cheering and celebrating, Cecia was lying lazily on the bed, waiting for the countdown of the copy to end.
[Dear players, a new copy will be loaded for you soon. Countdown is five seconds. Five, four, three...]
