Chapter 97
It was originally a lively celebration, but the unexpected demons appeared before their eyes.
After a brief silence, the crowd behind Jiang Li burst into loud screams of fear.
"Demons?!"
"How could there be demons in Dolei City?!"
"Nehkomatsu actually..."
"Shut up! That's a demon!"
The residents of the continent have always been suffocated by the invasion of demons. No one knows how the demons were born, but in the history of Lalan Continent, they have left countless horrifying and profound stories.
The demons are tyrannical and cruel, and wherever they pass, they will only leave countless killings. I don't know how many lives have been lost in the hands of the demons, and I don't know how many villages, towns or city-states have disappeared because of the demons.
Not to mention the people of the other world who grew up hearing stories about the demons, even Jiang Li, who had only been in the other world for a short time, had heard countless horror stories. Especially recently, the actions of the Demon King's City have become more and more frequent, and wars have occurred everywhere on the border, leaving countless tragic stories.
Previously, people were still thankful that Duolei City was far away from the Demon King's City, and the Demon King's army would not come here for the time being. Unexpectedly, the demons have already appeared in Duolei City? !
Some passionate adventurers could no longer hold back and wanted to rush out, but were stopped by Jiang Li's defense barrier.
"Mr. Jiang Li, let me out!"
"Me too!"
"My hometown was destroyed by the demons!"
"And my parents, they were also killed by the demons!"
The guards in the city-state have rushed over. They raised their weapons and surrounded the black-robed demon with goat horns in the middle. The magician's staff, the adventurer's weapon, and countless eyes filled with anger were all aimed at the demon in front of them.
The Demon King let out a long sigh.
That's why he didn't want to reveal his identity.
"The owner of the supermarket." Nekomis said: "I can't believe you would attack me."
"Sorry." Jiang Li said: "In order to confirm your identity, I used a very rough method. If you didn't fight back, I would stop in time."
Although he said the words of apology, he didn't put down the staff in his hand.
Unfortunately, the survival instinct has caused a demon to reveal his identity.
Nekomus opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed it again. His identity has been exposed, and it is useless to say more. The relationship between humans and demons is like fire and water, not to mention that there is a dragon surrounded by anger and staring at him.
Nekomus hugged the black dragon sculpture in his arms tightly, and the demonic energy surrounded his body and soon dissipated, filling everyone's vision and covering his figure.
When the demonic energy dissipated, everyone looked again, and there was no demon figure on the open ground.
"Roar--!!!"
The red dragon raised its head and roared unwillingly.
His dragon sculpture!!
...
Demons appeared in Dolei City!
Moreover, the demon had sneaked into Dolei City a long time ago, disguised as a human. Countless people talked to him and treated him as an ordinary human. After realizing this, everyone was upset.
Especially in places where the demon often appeared, such as Levi's restaurant, many people's faces turned green when they thought that they had eaten at the same table with the demon. The priests of Dolei City specially went around the city to purify all the places where the demon appeared. On the day of
the Winter Snow Festival, almost everyone in the city gathered in the central square, and the city lord Dean, who was holding a banquet in the city lord's mansion, was the last to receive the news of the appearance of the demon. After learning that there were demons in Dolei City, he immediately ended the banquet and invited several important figures who were involved in the incident to the city lord's mansion overnight.
Especially the red dragon who made the greatest contribution.
The dragon's keen sense of smell allowed him to detect something wrong immediately, thus exposing the demon's identity.
Serego said with a sour face: "That guy has such a strong smell of Savile. How could an ordinary demon have such a good relationship with Savile? I remember that I should have met that guy when I went to find Savile before."
"Who is he?"
"Of course it's the Demon King." Serego clenched his fists and slammed them heavily on the table: "Damn it, if I see that guy again, I will definitely..."
"What?!"
Everyone present took a breath of cold air.
"Demon, Demon King?!" Augustus said in disbelief: "You mean, the Demon King has been lurking in Dore City? Is it the Demon King I know? The Demon King of Demon City?"
"Nonsense." Their dragons will not just pick an ordinary person. Of course, the strongest one is enough to match. Serego glanced at Jiang Li quietly and reminded solemnly: "The cunning demon, he used despicable means to rob the dragon's treasure. After finding him, I must make him return my sculpture!"
Mayor Dean: "It's not an ordinary demon, it's the Demon King..."
Augustus: "He is not a resident of Dore City. According to the guards' report, he always enters the city from outside, and the magic circle at the city gate has never reacted. Mr. Brian has been asked to check it out, and the magic circle has not been tampered with."
"Could it be that the demons have found a way to hide their identities?" Mayor Dean's face was full of solemnity. "What does he want to do by hiding his identity? Could it be that the minions of the Demon King's army have already reached Dolei City?"
Augustus: "I have ordered people to investigate. So far, no trace of the second demon has been found."
However, according to their understanding, the Demon King has been in and out of Dolei City many times for several months, and no one has noticed anything wrong during this period. If the demons have a way to hide their identities, it is not difficult to avoid their investigation.
Perhaps without their knowledge, Dolei City has become the base camp of the demons, and the neighbors who usually live together day and night may be humans disguised as demons.
Thinking of this, everyone's mood became heavy.
Mayor Dean looked up and said, "Mr. Jiang Li, the devil has been to the supermarket many times. Do you have any clues?"
Jiang Li shook his head slowly, "I always regarded him as an ordinary human being."
"He has a way to hide his identity. Without the detection tools, ordinary humans cannot detect the specialness of the demons." Messenner said lightly: "I have met him once, but I was far away and did not see his face. If there were more contacts, I should have noticed it. He is consciously hiding from us."
Serego nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have never seen him before."
This is a very cautious demon king. If it were not for today's accident, I am afraid he would not reveal his true colors.
Lord Dean looked at everyone: "I will report this matter to His Majesty the King. The demons have appeared in Dore City. Starting today, the whole city will tighten its security. It's getting late, everyone please go back and rest."
Lord Dean stood up and walked out of the conference room. Augustus hurriedly followed.
Although the devil has left, he has left more fear and countless troubles in Dolei City. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Jiang Li looked out the window.
I don't know when it started, but the snow has been falling heavily. The whole city is covered in silver. The bustle not long ago has been covered by the snow, and only the light of the colored lights is shining through the snow.
This winter in Dolei City is colder than in previous years.
