Chapter 1170

So the group split into three groups.

Professor Sylph and the other four took a flying dragon and disappeared after taking off. Half an hour later, they landed silently on the west city gate.

Since they could not tell which people in the city had been replaced by the demons, they chose to act secretly and did not even notify the West City Guard.

After landing, Professor Sylph drew a magic card and silently summoned: "In the name of Sarah Sylph, magic summon - [Wind Realm]!"

The large-scale domain magic that originally required a long preparation to be performed was suddenly released with this [Wind Realm] field card as the center.

At that moment, a violent gust of wind suddenly blew between heaven and earth, and after spreading to a certain range, it suddenly swirled. Both the sound of the wind and the breath were wrapped in a floating sphere, without any leakage.

The four professors stood in the air and looked out of the city. They saw that the west gate was half open and there was still a constant flow of people coming and going.

Looking at the busy adventurer teams, Professor Sylph couldn't help but sigh: "If it can be stabilized for a few more years, this free city should be able to develop extremely prosperous."

Professor Jones stood in front with his hands folded on his chest, his back as tall as a mountain, and he stood firm: "If today's matter is not handled properly, it will be a catastrophe."

Professor Sylph nodded and said: "You protect me, I need to listen to the wind."

The other three nodded, but did not cast magic or summon magic cards.

Too strong magic flow will disturb the wind, so you just need to accumulate momentum at this time.

Professor Sylph stood in the middle of the team, crossed her fingers, lowered her head slightly, closed her eyes, and prayed like a girl.

After a while, the pure wind element quietly gathered, and a wind elf jumped out of the air, flapping its wings and dancing in a circle in front of her.

A wisp of natural wind without any magic quietly blew out of the [Wind Realm] and blew out of the city.

That wisp of natural wind blended into nature, driving the wind of nature to blow in all directions. Under the guidance of this natural wind, countless information was transmitted to the brain of the wind elf, and then gathered in the brain of Professor Sylph through the wind elf.

Very quickly, countless scenes of several miles outside the city appeared in Professor Sylph's mind.

There were fledgling adventurers chasing and chopping the slow-moving [iron tree] near the west gate.

There were cautious adventurer teams bending over and walking through the dense forest. A giant python that could change color with the environment was coiling around the treetops, staring at them with cold eyes.

Further away, there were also stronger adventurers relying on the power of teamwork to fight desperately with the huge monster.

"There is no trace of No. 2."

Professor Sylph's brows frowned slightly.

The sound of the wind became louder.

Suddenly, the sounds of flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects, fish, and countless living or dead things all gathered together.

Professor Sylph's magic power poured into her head, and her thinking suddenly accelerated. She quickly analyzed all the information, trying to find the foreign objects hidden in it.

…

On the other side, Professor Medea rode the pumpkin carriage up, but did not go to the West City, but stopped in the center.

She flicked her finger, and a magic card was already in her hand.

As the magic power flowed in, the magic card was immediately activated, and countless crystal balls suddenly drilled out from the card surface, and then flew in all directions under her control.

These crystal balls gradually became invisible in the process of flying out of the carriage. There was a pupil in the middle of each crystal ball, which could see any scene within a radius of one kilometer.

After all the crystal ball monitors were distributed, Professor Medea controlled the pumpkin carriage to fly at high speed towards the government building in the West City.

Ophelia sat in the carriage, holding the red and green button [switch] in her hand, ready to call out No. 1 to ask No. 2 for the specific direction.

…

And in the City Lord's Mansion

Dak and his five companions also boarded the carriage to the West City under the protection of Tiger, the leader of the city guards.

Above their heads, there was a flying dragon accompanying them.

The carriage was spacious enough for three people and not crowded for five people, but Dak also summoned another [Magical Beast: Goddess of the Heart's Eye].

Tiger drove the car himself and the journey was smooth.

During this period, more and more city managers took this road under the order of the city lord and joined from all directions.

Both [Goddesses of the Heart's Eye] had lifted their bangs, revealing their third eyes that looked scary, looking to the left and right.

Their eyes penetrated the carriage, and they could see everything inside and outside.

"Found it!"

In just the third minute of the trip, one of the [Goddesses of the Heart's Eye] found a person who was replaced by the demons.

"The third carriage from the left has a bull head emblem." The [Goddess of the Heart's Eye] said lightly.

Its voice was very soft, but under the transmission of wind magic, it was transmitted to Tiger's ears very clearly.

The half-blood tiger man immediately picked up a palm-sized stone and whispered quickly to the stone.

Two minutes later, the carriage suddenly turned and drove out of the avenue.

What was waiting for him would be the city guards waiting in the path!

…

No matter how the appearance changes, it cannot hide the thoughts.

No matter who was replaced by [Phantom Demon], [Amilo Worm], [Shapeshifter], or [Brain Eater], they could not escape the scrutiny of [Goddess of the Heart's Eye].

Unless they also have a second consciousness, hiding the consciousness belonging to the demon clan behind the mind.

The two [goddesses of the mind's eye] worked together to clean up the hidden bugs in the management with extremely efficient means.

Although within a quarter of an hour, nearly ten people had been discovered.

Faced with such a result, Tiger's face did not look happy at all.

Unlike those parasitized by the [Cerebral Fluid Demon], those replaced by the [Phantom Demon], [Ameloworm], [Shapeshifter], and [Brain-eating Demon] are unable to recover.

Every time a person is detected, it means the death of a person.

And those people who died were all very familiar to him.

Two or three of them were even elders who had been there since the city was founded, and they even drank with him two days ago.

However, this is how things are in the world. People cannot be resurrected after death, so they can only mourn and take the time to do so.

Tiger managed to maintain a semblance of calm and continued to drive the carriage forward.

From the city lord's palace to the government building in the west city, if you drive a carriage on the main road, it will take about an hour. If the speed is slower, it will take longer.

If ten people arrived at the Government Affairs Building at the speed of a quarter of an hour, they would probably be able to find out half a hundred.

"In this case, there will be too many people."

Dark said aloud.

"Many more people have been replaced by the demons than expected. If it continues, it will be too obvious. If you are unlucky and encounter a hard problem that the city guard cannot arrest, it will be directly exposed."

"Change your strategy. Mark first, don't arrest."

He was not asking for advice, but giving orders directly. After hearing this, Tiger immediately sent out the order through the communication stone in his hand, and the carriages on the road finally stopped disappearing.

The two [goddesses of the heart's eyes] are still generating reports.

"Sixth from the right, green carriage, lizard emblem."

"Directly behind, there is a lilac emblem on both of them."

"Black carriage, lion's head emblem, maid inside."

"Brown carriage, banana emblem, carriage owner."

…

Halfway through the journey, Tiger's face finally lost control and became increasingly ugly.

Even if he just read out the emblems of the carriages in the report, he could immediately know who the owner of the carriage was, and thus identify who was in trouble.

Suddenly, the riding whip in his hand exerted force, and the horse immediately let out a cry, and could not help but pull the carriage faster.

The horse's cry made him wake up instantly, and he quickly calmed him down and slowed down.

Duck stuck his head out of the car and frowned: "Uncle Tiger, what happened?"

"It's nothing." Tiger said in a deep voice, "I just found out that an old friend had his brain eaten by the demons, and I almost couldn't control my emotions."

Duck was silent for a moment.

After a while, he said: "Uncle Tiger, although what has happened cannot be changed, we can try our best to prevent such things from happening in the future. Stay calm and don't expose any flaws."

"I know, but I just can't help it," Tiger said.

Dak said: "I have a hunch that what awaits us next will be a big war."

After that, he said no more and returned to the carriage.

The more management members are replaced by demons, the greater the danger.

Once these people are brought together, a war will inevitably occur.

But since they have chosen this method to deal with it, they must bear corresponding risks.

After Duck returned to the carriage, he quickly thought about how to mitigate the risk.

After a while, he said to Tiger: "According to the elimination method, first make a trust list, and then issue tasks to these people... We must try to separate them as much as possible..."

…

Government Affairs Building in the west of the city.

The Lord of Montelfali came to the building first and took charge.

She actually knew very well that she did not have the qualifications to be a commander. The [Sun Warrior] could be a general, but not a commander.

But this city of freedom was built by her, and she could only sit on the position of city lord.

Under such circumstances, the reason why she was able to manage the Free City to this extent was actually due to the old team that had been following her from the beginning.

However, the establishment process of the Free City was not smooth. The monsters all over the demon territory are a natural danger. Humans who do not want to see this city are also frequently taking action.

Her old team has been continuously depleted over the past ten years and half of them have been given away.

Therefore, every elder who is left now has a very important position in her heart.

And precisely because we cherish them, we feel even more sad after hearing the news of their deaths.

As more and more names were reported, the cracks in her heart became wider and wider.

At a certain moment, she suddenly realized that she had been lying to herself and others all this time.

In fact, it is not that she has no solution. If she could ask for help from St. Marian College and the Duke's Palace earlier, she would be able to stop the loss a little before the situation develops to this point.

But when she discovered that some of the management had been replaced by demons, the situation had become quite serious, so serious that it was difficult for her to face it.

So the measures she took were actually not all she could do. She was deceiving herself and others and was unwilling to admit that the situation had developed to that extent.

If Dak and others hadn't suddenly appeared, she might have continued to suffer for ten days and a half.

She is not a qualified city lord.

She's always felt that way.

…

But now is definitely not the time for sentimentality.

Suna Montilfalli stood up from her seat, and what came to her mind were the profound scenes of the war.

When we reach a desperate situation, it's time to draw the sword.

She took a deep breath, picked up the trust list, and began to deploy it quickly.

…

Another half an hour passed.

Carriages were parked neatly outside the West City Government Building, and hundreds of people got off the carriages and entered the building.

Some managers who had been waiting in the building for a long time greeted them with a smile and guided the people entering the building to different directions.

Those responsible for guiding were all on the trustworthy list.

Among those who were guided in the same direction, there were both trustworthy people and those who were locked as demons.

But the people waiting in the room were cleverly separated by arranging seats.
