#921 - Correct judgment
This is not the best time for the enemy, but for them, it is the best opportunity.
At present, most of the royal family's troops are being held up by members of the Sun Society.
The defenses at the city gate should be quite empty now.
Kelly walked over, and after noticing that Ye Qiong's eyes were focused on the city gate, she immediately knew what her companion wanted to do.
"You want to fish in troubled waters and sabotage the ceremony while the royal family and the Sun Society are fighting?"
"Do you think now is the time to take action?"
"Of course, but I don't think you're the only one who thinks so."
As she spoke, she looked in the direction of the tavern, and then continued:
"If I were old Tyr, I would definitely think of going with the flow and starting the plan tonight. After all, the most important member has already arrived in Glowing City this afternoon.
Since the royal family has already torn their relationship apart, there is no need for them to maintain that delicate balance anymore.
If Old Tyr doesn't want to drag it out any longer, then he can make a decisive move tonight and win the victory.
This is the most correct judgment for the Sun Society and for Old Tyr."
Ye Qiong's idea was similar to Kelly's. He also felt that the Sun Society would choose to go with the flow and fight to the death with the royal family tonight.
If nothing unexpected happened, Valen should be on his way to disrupt the ceremony.
Ye Qiong glanced at Aidas. Among the three people, Aidas's mental power was the strongest. He hoped that Aidas could use his mental power to sense and see whether Valen had started to act.
After hearing Ye Qiong's request, Adas quickly took action.
She started to scan the tavern with her mental power, but she didn't find Valen in the tavern.
It seems that Valen has indeed started to take action as they expected.
Next she began to scan northward, trying to find any trace of Valen.
It took her about five minutes to scan the northern part of Glowing City, but she found no trace of Valen.
Logically speaking, the south is where the royal family and the Sun Society are fighting. If Valen wants to disrupt the ceremony, he should target the north where the defense is the least. Why didn't he find any trace of Valen in the north?
Aidas was somewhat puzzled, and then told Kelly and Ye Qiong about his discovery.
After listening to this, Kelly couldn't help but nodded secretly, and then said:
"Doing the opposite? Valen's move is quite clever. Little Edas, look south. She should be preparing to destroy the ceremony in the south."
Adas nodded slightly to show that he understood, then mobilized his mental power to start searching again.
Another five minutes later,
The half-dragon girl frowned, her face full of confusion.
After seeing the expression on Edas's face, Kelly opened her mouth wide and asked Edas in surprise:
"There's nothing in the south either? Is Valen going to leave the city?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiong's thoughts drifted back to the last reincarnation.
The effect of the Sword of Dutrane is to guide the host to victory.
In other words, most of Varun's choices are correct, and she will basically not go down the path of failure.
According to the situation in the last reincarnation, the ceremony in Glowing City was undoubtedly successful. If Valen continued to stay in the city, he would definitely die in this ceremony.
Since Valen appeared in the City of Progress, it proved that she made the right judgment again. She gave up destroying the ritual and chose to escape directly, so she was able to appear in the City of Progress alive.
It was a black scribble, and it was impossible to tell what it was.
Kelly on the side came forward and asked with some confusion:
"Aidas, when did your painting skills decline to this level?"
After hearing this, Edas rolled his eyes at this guy and said:
"Do you think I would draw something so meaningless? Either this is what we saw, or there is a mysterious force trying to erase its traces. In my opinion, the answer is most likely the latter. You should have discovered that we have lost the most important memory. We have forgotten what we saw in the depths of the dungeon."
Ye Qiong nodded in agreement, then took over Edas's novel and turned to the last page.
He could clearly see that there were three long scratches next to the graffiti. It seemed that in addition to drawing the shape of the object, Adas also tried to supplement it with words.
But unfortunately, these words were erased by a mysterious force.
Now they can't even remember what they saw in the dungeon.
If that mysterious power really wanted to erase all traces of that thing's existence in the world, then the way it did it would be too crude, right?
Since he had the ability to manipulate their memories, why did he choose to erase them so abruptly? Wasn't this telling them that there was a ghost in the dungeon?
Ye Qiong felt that the mysterious power had to erase this memory because it had no other choice. It did not want anyone to remember the existence of that thing, but also hoped that someone would know what that thing was doing and needed someone to eliminate it as soon as possible. Ye Qiong vaguely remembered that the Dragon Mother and the Master had mentioned the tree when they were chatting with him.
The two natural disasters obviously knew the name of the tree, but whenever they mentioned it, they would choose to use "that tree" or "that thing" instead.
Obviously, neither the Dragon Queen nor the Master Builder particularly want anyone to know the real name of the tree. If the name of the tree was known, something bad might happen.
This situation is so similar to what they are experiencing now.
Ye Qiong told Kelly and Edas his speculation.
After listening to this, Kelly fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, she said:
"In that case, let's not speculate on what we saw deep in the dungeon for now. Let's first talk about why there are so many starved corpses in the dungeon."
Kelly was about to continue speaking when she suddenly noticed some noise coming from outside the door.
Ye Qiong reacted the fastest and opened the window directly:
"It looks like Max might be back. Let's retreat for now and continue our discussion of what we found in the dungeon when we get back to the hotel."
The two women nodded decisively, then followed Ye Qiong and jumped out of the window.
Not long after they left, a fat demon pushed the door open. He was very bloated, covered in fat, and weighed about 300 pounds.
The scepter in the hand of this fat demon and the luxurious clothes on his body have already proved his identity.
The current king of the Moss Kingdom, Max, is a gluttonous demon from the Golden Realm.
At this time, the fat on the king's face had been squeezed into a ball, and his expression was full of anger. He slammed the scepter in his hand on the floor, and then said angrily:
"It must be those guys from the Sun Society who did this. Go chase them and catch them all. I want to put these despicable guys to death with my own hands."
The nearby shadow trembled, and then replied respectfully:
"As you command, my king."
After saying that, the surrounding shadows instantly left the palace.
Ye Qiong and his companions had returned to the hotel. He glanced out the window and used his mental power to investigate. At this time, a large number of demons in the Golden Realm were leaving the palace. It seemed that Max had discovered the intruders.
In the opinion of this angry king, the only group that has the ability to invade the palace silently is probably the Youri Society.
It can be clearly seen that the purpose of these demons is quite clear. Some of them are heading towards the tavern, while some are heading towards a hotel in the northwest.
There was not a single demon approaching the hotel where the three instigators were staying.
Ye Qiong closed the window and said:
"Okay, let's continue with our previous topic."
After saying this, he looked at Kelly and asked:
"Kelly, what do you think the starved corpses are good for?"
"What else can they be used for? They are needed to initiate the ceremony."
"No, what I mean is, there are many ways to die, why choose this one?"
Hearing this, Kelly immediately grasped the main point that Ye Qiong wanted to ask.
"Yes, why starve to death? The first level of the Root of the End is the concept of depriving life, right? Is there any connection between the two?"
Edas, who had been listening for a long time, lowered his head and thought for a while, then spoke out his thoughts:
"The topic of depriving life is too broad. I think its ability is not just to bring death to life, but to erase the concept of life."
Kelly pondered for a while, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, as if she had thought of something:
“The most basic concept of life is a living thing that can maintain itself through metabolism and maintain an orderly state through energy flow.
The most direct reason why those corpses died was that they were forcibly deprived of all energy supplies and could not absorb nutrients from the outside world, which meant that they could not maintain themselves through metabolism.
The ultimate goal of this ceremony is to deprive everyone of their energy supply. Max is doing this right now. Do you remember? The food in Glow City has been bought by the royal family.
If the ceremony was initiated at this time and Glowing City was sealed off from the outside world, the residents in the city would become lambs to be slaughtered, and they could only hope that the royal family would really abide by the agreement and distribute food to them.
But we all know that the royal family is the mastermind behind a series of events in Glowing City today. How could they distribute the food they bought?
Rather, Max's real purpose is to deprive the entire city of its residents of all life resources and use them as sacrifices." (End of this chapter)
