Chapter 1167

Aurora became the host in a blink of an eye, pouring tea for everyone present.

It was not until then that everyone began to formally introduce themselves.

After writing down everyone's names one by one, Mayor Montilfarli said cautiously: "I wonder if you can tell me why you came here?"

Professor Sylph turned and said: "I see that there may be something unusual in the city. I wonder what happened in this Free City?"

Both sides asked, and then looked at each other, and then they were speechless.

"Well, I'll tell you."

Professor Montil turned his head to look at Aurora, saw his daughter nod, and looked at Dak and Oli over there, and then he made up his mind to speak.

All along, the Free City has relied on itself to maintain its purity.

Even the Duke's Mansion and St. Marian College, which showed goodwill to it, only supported it from behind and did not actually take action.

But if this matter today cannot be resolved in time, it may cause unpredictable adverse effects on this city isolated in the territory of the demons.

Even for the sake of the half-blooded people who believed in them in the city, she couldn't be stubborn any longer.

Since the professors from St. Marian College happened to come, she had no reason not to ask for help.

And seeing that the city lord finally gave in, the half-blood tiger man Tek also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with the help of the professors from St. Marian College, there was finally hope for that matter.

But after making up his mind, how to say it and where to start were very particular. 　The city lord of Montilfarli was originally a clean and straightforward person, but after becoming the lord of a city, he had already learned to look ahead and behind.

After pondering for a long time, she said carefully: "There are demons."

"Huh?" The professors frowned suddenly.

The city lord of Montilfarli said solemnly: "There are demons mixed in our city!"

...

After saying this information, the city lord of Montilfarli observed the expressions of the people present with a little nervousness.

The fewer words, the more serious the situation.

The remnants of the demon clan infiltrated the Free City, which is no small matter.

This should be a matter of common hatred and hatred in any city within the kingdom.

But it is different in the Free City.

If this matter is leaked and causes a large-scale adverse impact in the city, it will definitely attract those wolves and tigers who have been eyeing this "outpost" and can't wait to show their fangs and claws.

The presence of demons in the city is a legitimate reason to send troops!

At this level, the Free City does not even have the position to refuse.

Once foreign troops enter, the Free City will no longer be able to guarantee its sovereignty.

Before there is really no other way, this hole cannot be opened in any case!

There are actually two foreign forces present at the moment.

One is the St. Marian College force headed by Professor Sylph, and the other is the Duke's Palace force headed by Dark.

Both are trustworthy forces to a certain extent.

I am afraid they are also the only forces that do not need to worry about being eroded by them.

But due to her overprotective mentality towards the Free City, Lord Montilfarli was still a little nervous.

However, after she said it, she was extremely surprised to find that there was not much surprise on the faces of these people.

Is it because these people have strong emotional control ability?

I'm afraid not.

Lord Montilfarli's pupils suddenly shrank. She was not stupid. She immediately guessed that this group of people came here from thousands of miles away, probably because of the demons!

This means that the current situation in her cognition is likely to be more serious than originally expected!

...

"Tell me more about it." Professor Sylph said slowly, with the power to calm people's hearts.

Lord Montilfarli hesitated again.

Dak suddenly said: "Aunt Montilfarli, let's start from when we returned here in June last year. In addition to the appearance of the demons, I want to know more about the situation in this city."

Aurora sat down next to her again, holding a teacup and looking at her mother.

Dak's thoughts are also her thoughts.

Her knowledge of the Free City was interrupted last June.

At that time, she had foreseen the pressure that the Free City would bear in the future, but that pressure should have come from the increasing number of monsters. Building an adventurer's guild in the Free City and offering welfare policies to attract a large number of adventurers to settle in was one of the strategies formulated to deal with the tide of monsters.

Judging from the large number of adventurers seen on the streets today, this strategy should have worked.

But the final result seemed to be different from what she imagined.

"The specific matter should start with the Demon King's Execution Ceremony."

Mayor Montilfarli propped up her chin and finally found the angle to tell the story.

But she did not expect that her simple opening would cause a greater reaction than revealing the infiltration of the demons.

...

"Demon King's Execution Ceremony..."

Ophelia Brad couldn't help but clench her fingers, her eyes showing shame.

She was the cause of everything and the real beginning of all these things.

And the expressions of Professor Sylph and others became more serious.

Mayor Montilfarli quickly turned his gaze away from Ophelia Blood and continued:

"The execution ceremony of the Demon King held by the Holy Church in the middle of last year led to a large number of remnants of the Demon Clan hiding in the dark. The Demon Clan has a vast territory, and the Demon Clan cannot be exterminated. Most of them hide in the vast Demon Clan territory. Although their number is small, they pose a great threat."

"And our city, because it is located in the Demon Clan territory and is a free city without access control, is originally a mixed crowd and the order is difficult to control. From the root, it is impossible to prepare for the infiltration of the Demon Clan. Naturally, it became the first place for them to come out of the rat hole."

"In addition, the number of demon beasts has increased in the past few years, and the number of beast tides attacking the city has become more and more frequent. In fact, the Free City has been in an overloaded state of operation. It has been overwhelmed, so it gave They can take advantage of this opportunity. "

"Therefore, since June last year, there have been occasional signs of demons in the city. We secretly hunted for demons, but the demons were not dead yet, and the search was ineffective. "

"During the execution ceremony of the Demon King, the Holy Church caught and killed a large number of demon remnants, which alerted the enemy and affected the Free City thousands of miles away. The demons hiding in the city became more secretive and difficult to search. "

"But if it's just like this, it's actually okay. "

"The hiding of one or two demons will not actually have any major impact on the structure of the Free City. "

"However, since August last year, the signs of demon activities... suddenly increased!"

The voice of the city lord Montilfarli gradually became low.

She slowly recounted the many events that had happened in the Free City in the past six months, and her eyes gradually became cold.

Dake and others listened silently, without saying a word.

The servant who came with the dining cart was blocked outside by Tiger.

Mayor Montilfarli continued, "The outbreak was unexpected. By the time we found out, many residents had already disappeared. This phenomenon was even more serious among adventurers."

"Adventurers are professionals who risk their lives. It is not surprising that they die on the way to a mission, so they naturally become targets for the demons to kill."

"A large number of adventurers disappeared on their way out of the city to fight monsters, but they were all treated as normal deaths."

"Until someone discovered that the scars on the bodies of adventurers did not look like those caused by monsters, and then a formal investigation was filed."

"I didn't expect that this investigation would lead to the demons."

...

"After realizing that the demons had begun to act, we took many measures. The demons' actions increased, and they revealed more flaws. "

"During that time, we finally found and killed a lot of demons, but we didn't leave any alive."

"They are very scary. They will choose to commit suicide after being caught, and will choose to die together when there is no way to escape."

"But fortunately, they have been silent for a long time after that, as if they have killed enough people."

...

"This situation has continued until now, and the demons have become active again."

"And this time, the difficulty of the activity was greater than before."

"We have confirmed that there are races among them that can transform and disguise themselves as humans, and they have begun to infiltrate the management system in the city."

Chapter 761 Don't worry, I'm here 4k

The infiltration of the internal management system will cause immeasurable damage to the Free City.

The reason why the Free City can come to this point is because of the people's will.

The mixed races regard this place as their home, and they work together to make every effort, regardless of the cost, which is why today's huge and solid city has been built.

Once this mutual trust is in crisis, the foundation of the Free City will be cracked.

That must be avoided!

…

City Lord Montilfarli summarized the current situation of the Free City as quickly as possible.

Dak and others finally knew why the East Gate was blocked.

While everyone was thinking about it, City Lord Montilfarli clapped his hands lightly, and the servants waiting outside the door pushed the cart in and placed the food on the table one by one.

There were not many kinds of food, mostly meat, with bread and vegetable soup, and lemon tea, a specialty of the Free City, which was the lunch in the City Lord's Mansion.

Mayor Montilfarli calmed down and said with a smile: "Try it. These are all edible meats that we carefully selected from the monsters. In order to process these monster meats, we specially rented some priests who are good at using purification magic from the Holy Church to ensure that the remaining magic energy in the monster meat is completely removed. Speaking of which, the cooking method of softening and refining the meat of these monsters was invented by Aurora, and it has now been widely used in the Free City."

"Monster meat?"

Turning monsters into food, changing their identities, and turning prey into hunters is indeed a good method.

I just don't know how this monster meat tastes?

It was past noon at this time. The people present could not say that they were hungry, but most of them were hungry, so they were no longer reserved and picked up knives and forks to cut meat and taste it.

"Since it's a cooking method invented by Aurora, it shouldn't be bad, right?"

Thinking so, Dak picked up the knife and fork, forked a large piece of meat on the plate in front of him, cut off a small piece, dipped it in the sauce, carefully put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

"Hmm... The taste is somewhat similar to beef, and the taste is not bad, mainly because of the sauce, which is really good."

While he was chewing slowly, Professor Jones over there had already eaten half of the plate.

Speaking of which, there were three giant hybrids on this table.

Professor Jones and the Lord of Montelfali, you can tell they have a lot of knowledge just by looking at their broad minds.

Aurora usually doesn't show off, but Duck has been with her day and night for so long, so he naturally knows that she is an invisible big eater.

The chefs in the City Lord's Mansion were clearly prepared. All kinds of monster meats were brought to the table one after another, and the empty plates were quickly taken away with great efficiency.

A quarter of an hour later, the meal service slowed down. Dake took a sip of lemon tea to relieve the taste in his mouth, and then he said casually: "Auntie Montilfali, have you found out what kind of demon it is?" ?”

Lord Montilfali temporarily put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth, and then said slowly: "At present, there are at least three types."

"Three kinds?" Dak was a little surprised.

The Lord of Montirfali glanced at Aurora beside him and said: "One is [Phantom Demon], which is good at spiritual magic and can simulate its appearance with illusion, but its essence has not changed. As long as the mental power is stronger than it If you are high, you can see through it.”

"The other type is the [Amylo Worm]. This kind of insect demon likes to burrow into the body of a living thing and eat it up from the inside out, leaving only a skin. The [Amylo Worm] can wear The skin is disguised and deformed. Because it eats away from the inside, even the breath can be simulated, but there is still an insect body under the skin, and you only need to open a hole in the skin to see through it. "

"The third type is the [Deformed Demon], which is the most difficult to see through among the three types of demons. It is a physical deformation, and there is no abnormality at all from the flesh and blood. It can only be detected through differences in words and deeds. It is very difficulty."

…

"[Phantom Demon], [Ameloworm], [Transformation Demon]." Professor Sylph was silent for a moment and said, "During the war, these three types of demons should be the key targets, and they should have been extinct. [Transformation Demon] The weakness of the demon is that after deformation, it is temporarily unable to use its own abilities. The illusion shape of the demon does not match the outline of the physical body, and the amyloworm is afraid of salt and cannot eat too much salt. Food. However, these three types of demons are unable to obtain brain memory, and their words and deeds often show flaws. "

"Professor Sylph is somewhat reliable." Dark couldn't help but think.

The Lord of Montelfali said in a deep voice: "Yes. But the number found so far is extremely rare..."

Dak frowned slightly. Different from his previous tone, the Lord of Montelfali clearly lacked confidence when he said these words.

His heart moved and he hesitated: "[Brain-eating Demon]?"

The Lord of Montelfali couldn't help but look at him in surprise and said: "I have found one."
