The King Next Door

Chapter 115 The Reason

Horatio, the director of the junior school in Hopeless Town, is a humanoid demon with an elegant posture in a feather robe.

There are two strange patterns on his left cheek, and his eyes are not normal human pupils, but are spinning continuously.

No one dared to stare at Horatio for too long, his eyes were his natural skill.

When the mayor saw Horatio, he didn't dare to look him in the eyes, but only looked at his face, and asked, "Is this inn related to your school?"

Horatio smiled slightly and shook his head: "This is the mercenary guild. They often lure the nascent demons here, and select them for the first time. When they are in debt or oppressed beyond endurance, they will appear as saviors and let them join the mercenary guild's primary ranks. Those who pass the exam will be able to join the mercenary guild and get asylum, and the nascent demons who fail will be sent to the mine to be squeezed to death." Obviously it

was a cruel thing, but Horatio kept smiling the whole time, as if Say something very ordinary.

When the mayor heard of such deception and oppression in the town, he didn't even look disgusted at all, as if he was used to it.

In fact, the mayor has known for a long time that the three major organizations have their own methods of deceiving the nascent demons. Today, the mercenary guild is just one step ahead.

Just look at how quickly the director of the school got the news, and even created the instant phantom, you know how much the three major organizations monitor and infiltrate each other.

In addition, the school is likely to have taken a fancy to this group of newborn demons, or one of them may have already planned to catch the demons, so that they can catch up in such a timely manner.

Just as the mayor was about to ask the director if he knew why the inn was blocked, he saw Deman, the president of the town branch of the mercenary guild, and Goode, the guard of the Ministry of War, coming hand in hand.

Don't think that the two arrived at the same time and think that they have a good relationship. In fact, the distance between the two can hold ten rock demons, and they don't even look at each other.

Compared with Horatio, the director of the town school who is more skilled at dancing, Deman, the head of the mercenary branch, and Gude, the guard of the military department, are not very good-tempered, and the relationship between the two demons is also very bad, almost to the point where they do not speak when they meet.

It was the same this time, the two demons clearly arrived at the same time, but it was as if they hadn't seen each other.

Deman, the head of the mercenary branch, came up and asked impolitely: "What's the matter with the closure of the inn space? Who has anything to do with you?"

Deman's tone was very bad, but that's how he spoke. Displeased, but it didn't show on his face.

"Doesn't the inn belong to your mercenary guild? As the branch leader, don't you know?" The mayor also spoke very hard.

The mayor dared to be so tough, of course, because he had a backer. To put it bluntly, he is not suppressed by the three major organizations.

It may be for the purpose of restraint and balance. The three major demon kings of the Lower Demon Realm jointly control the entire Demon Realm, and are not divided into three kingdoms. In addition to the three major organizations of the Academy, the Ministry of War, and the Mercenary Guild, the Lower Demon Realm also has an extremely large one. The system jointly managed by the three major demon kings is the administrative organization.

The administrative organization is composed of the nobles of the demon world, and the members of the government agencies in various places are all appointed by the nobles in the area.

The nobles were rewarded by three demon kings, and they had their own loyal demon kings, but they cared about their own administrative regions and were unwilling to let other forces intervene.

Although it seems complicated, the entire Demon World has been operating under this administrative system of "I am in you and you in me" for more than two thousand years, and there has not been much trouble so far.

Deman really didn't know, how could it be possible to report to him such a trivial matter as picking a newborn devil, unless the newborn devil was particularly outstanding.

But so far this year, no newborn devil's name has entered his ears.

He came here only because he heard that something extraordinary happened to the inn below, the entire inn was blocked by space, but Horatio, the director of the town school, arrived in person, and there was an instant phantom screen outside the inn.

Horatio didn't answer Deman's question, but instead looked at Gude, who was guarding the Ministry of War.

Gude raised his eyelids and looked at him. This man was full of evil spirits, and his body was half empty and half solid. There were horns on his head, and his body was dark red like blood.

The mayor and Deman also looked at Goode.

But Gude just didn't say a word, and he didn't even look at the three big men in the town, but cast his eyes on the real-time phantom screen outside the inn.

Horatio said lightly and cleverly: "Is this instant phantom created by the Ministry of War? Instead of hiding each other like this, we should reveal the news to each other. If there is really a big problem inside, it's best to solve it before it spreads, you guys What do you think?"

The mayor had no objection, he was the devil who didn't want anything to happen to the town.

Deman agrees that he probably has as little information as the mayor right now.

Goode looked indifferent, but he also gave affirmation: "The instant phantom is indeed related to us. This is my subordinate's innate magic. When he enters a dangerous location, he will put a return point at a safe point outside. When in danger, He can be pulled to the return point immediately. But if he can't come out, he will simultaneously broadcast what happened to him inside. In case we don't know what happened to him." "This ability is very useful." Horatio

seemed Very envious look.

Goode didn't respond, and continued: "My subordinates have been tracking a demon. That demon is likely to be an infected person who came back from an extraterritorial battlefield. He received the first wave of inspections when he left the extraterritorial battlefield. No problem was found. But when he was asked for a second inspection, he fled. The Ministry of War has been looking for him ever since." "

Is that demon a magic soldier from the Ministry of War?" Horatio asked.

Goode did not deny: "Any infected person must be eliminated, and those suspected of being infected must be captured, and they will be killed if they encounter resistance. More than one magic soldier sent by the Ministry of War to the battlefield outside the territory was infected, but not many escaped. As long as anyone escaped , the military departments in various places will receive arrest warrants. My men occasionally found the suspected infected person, he came to the town about five days ago, and then stayed in Luo Feike's inn." "Why not arrest immediately?" The

mayor question.

Goode replied coldly: "The other party is a thirteenth-level magic soldier, and my men are only eleventh-level, and I have only returned to the town just now, and I have been arresting robbers before." The mayor was still not very happy

. "Your military department should report the incident. If the other party is really an infected person, what if it causes trouble in the town? If the infection spreads, who will be responsible?

"

Horatio raised his hand: "Don't make noise, I'll also talk about the news I received here. Our school took a fancy to a newborn demon, but he fell into the trap of a false guide demon and was lured into Lofik's The inn, my men want to see how he will behave in the inn, and if the other party behaves well, they plan to fish out the newborn demon." Unexpectedly, he occasionally found that the chef

of the inn, Jonson, was secretly slaughtering the guests. The guest takes it into the kitchen as an ingredient and cooks it before eating it. Although many of us demons will devour each other, the behavior of deliberately cooking is too rare. It is not like gaining power, but more like satisfying the appetite.

"It just happened that my subordinates accidentally discovered another demon with more sneaky actions. The other party was very interested in the well water in the inn. He often stood by the well for a while. After that, my subordinates also discovered that the chef Jonson had contact with the strange demon, but the two demons did not speak to each other, they just stood together by the well in the backyard

. Sen went back to the kitchen and began to feast. Not long ago, Johnson had attacked the kitchen helpers. My subordinates saw that the situation was not good, so they sent me a message in advance.

"But when I arrived, the entire inn had been sealed by a space-blocking magic circle. But I also received the last message from that subordinate, who said that the space magic circle cannot be opened." "Why can't it be opened

? "The mayor and Deman asked in unison.

Horatio's face was also a little dignified: "I don't know. My subordinate has a special talent. He has a certain ability to predict, but it is very vague. It is more like an intuition for danger. When he sent me the news, Maybe he doesn't understand why this space can't be opened to seal the magic circle, he just thinks it shouldn't be opened."

The other three bosses actually accepted such a nonsensical reason.

Without him, the demons have a variety of talents and abilities, but they have a keen intuition for danger, and this kind of talent is relatively common.

After Horatio finished speaking, he looked at Goode: "Do you know any news here?"

Goode was not very indifferent to Horatio, shaking his head: "I have already said everything I know."

Deman interjected: " So who can tell me, who is the demon who arranged this space-blocking magic circle? I can tell you clearly, it is definitely not Luo Feike, nor is it any employee in the inn. None of them have this ability, and they are not good at space. Magic circle."

The mayor is more concerned: "Although we don't know who the demon who blocked the inn is, 90% of the reason why he blocked the inn is because there are infected people in the inn, and there may be not one, but two!" "Look at the real-time

projection , everything we want to know may be in the simultaneous transmission magic. If the situation in the inn is found to be out of control, the four of us will take action together to destroy the inn and all the magic inside, leaving no scum behind. " Horatio said.

"Okay, just do it." Goode was the first to agree.

The mayor and Deman have no objections either. It is the common understanding of all the demons not to let the infected demons infect more demons, so even if they kill a thousand by mistake, they will not hesitate.

Afterwards, all the devil's attention was focused on the huge screen at the entrance of the inn.

To be correct, it should not be called the screen, because there is no screen.

The image in the inn is directly projected in the air, somewhat like a mirage, but much clearer than a mirage.

A demon familiar with this inn introduced to other demons around: "What we see now should be the inn lobby, that is, the tavern of the inn." "I

saw the inn owner Luo Feike, is he thin A lot?"

"I also saw a familiar demon, he was so unlucky that he went to drink at the Lofik Tavern just today."

Few of the demons watching the excitement were nervous and sympathetic, and most of them were gloating.

"They seem to have gathered in the lobby together. What are they going to do?"

"Is that Chef Johnson? Why does everyone seem to be afraid of him?"

"Who is that young long-eared devil? It looks so strange."

"Huh? Are they going to cook food in the lobby?"

Not only the demons who watched the excitement were curious, but the four big bosses in Wuwang Town were also confused at this time and could only wait and see the development of the situation, but they were also ready to Ready to shoot.

In the inn lobby, two cooking tables have been prepared at this time, and the two magic stoves in the kitchen have also been transferred here.

The ingredients selected by Wang Ye and the suspected infected person, Chef Jonson, were placed on the table.

The six judges all turned their backs when Lofik announced the official start of the competition, and consciously used shielding magic, not to watch or listen to the cooking preparation process.

Because all six judges have sworn to the Supreme Demon God—this is a very prudent thing in the Demon World, even the most cunning and insidious demons dare not swear to the Supreme Demon God at will. So there is no need to worry about them peeking and eavesdropping.

The Supreme Demon God is not a illusory and imaginary god, but a real existence, and has been closely connected with the upper, middle and lower demon worlds so far.

If you dare to swear to this person but break the oath, then you will be punished.

All the demons in the inn don't know their every move, and the demons outside can see clearly.

Although they were sitting there as spectators, many demons had ugly expressions, and some demons had obvious fear on their faces.

Just now, Chef Jonson ran to the guest room on the second floor, "knocked" on all the guest room doors one after another, and picked and picked the demons inside like he was catching little demon sparrows.

Many frequent drinkers knew Jonson, and they were very surprised, because Jonson showed mediocre strength before, but now Jonson's strength greatly overwhelmed them.

It's not that there are no demons to resist, such as the praying mantis arm demon.

The Mantis Arm Demon was considered strong among the drinkers, but he didn't hold on to the two moves under Jonson's hands.

In front of them, Jonson broke all the limbs of the Mantis Arm Demon, and threw the Mantis Arm Demon from the second floor which was still struggling.

It's not throwing, it's hitting the ground hard.

The Mantis Arm Demon fell to the ground and fell into a coma. It is not known whether he is dead or alive, and no one dares to rescue him.

Jonson originally wanted to eat the mantis-armed demon, but he was attracted by the cooking competition proposed by the long-eared demon, so he forgot to eat the mantis-armed demon for a while.

When Jonson went to pick the ingredients, a friend of the Mantis Arm Demon secretly dragged him back for treatment.

Jonson also seemed to have forgotten the unpalatable ingredient and prepared for this competition with all his heart.

There are a lot of good ingredients in Wang Ye's nest, but unfortunately he can't take them out.

However, although the demon world is weird, it may be because it is also a world that uses energy such as magic power. Many ingredients here can also be eaten by Shuangyue stars.

For people on earth, if they have awakened their abilities and can absorb magic power, the ingredients here can also be eaten. It's just that there may be many sequelae after eating.

Because the demon world has a special substance that neither the earth nor the double moon star has.

Wang Ye also discovered this difference so quickly by being able to see the original text of the world.

This substance is very good for the soul body and spiritual power, so this world can survive for a long time after becoming a soul body, and even some demons are born with a soul body or a half-soul and half-entity.

But this substance can also cause instability and compatibility of species. Wang Ye speculates that this is probably the reason why the demons can look so strange and can devour each other to strengthen themselves.

Jonson looked at the long-eared devil, wanting to see what ingredients he would choose.

Wang Ye reached out and took a monster like a flat-billed duck from the food shelf.

When he saw this flat-billed duck monster, he thought of the famous food in China, roast duck.
