Chapter 544: Behind the Shade

Rody, who was in the Tasman Kingdom, didn't know what was going on in the Efta war at the moment. He looked serious and listened carefully to Luther's story about the "origin" of the tiefling race.

"That is to say, the purple flame changed your body, but it didn't change into what it is now?"

Roddy also found that he knew next to nothing about tieflings at this time, so he hardly missed an opportunity to ask details now.

"Yes, Lord Roddy. At first we only had two horns on our heads, and the joints changed, but it didn't become what it is now."

Luther pointed to his head. He had six horns of different sizes, and his face was slightly mutated. It was very different from normal humans, and looked like some kind of monitor lizard.

"Does it change with age, or is it something else?"

Roddy is very cautious about the keyword "demon" now, because he realizes that this may be the biggest reason Augustine is looking for tieflings.

"It's not an age change, it's a... special accident." Luther sighed, and slowly said what he hadn't said before.

It turned out that the original purple fire affected nearly 800 people. These people who were burned by the flames had a slight mutation, and after this mutation occurred, other people in the village began to alienate them gradually, and later it turned into driving away, and even violent incidents of killing and injuring occurred.

After the mutation, Luther and others also knew that they would be rejected in the human world after all, so they hid in the jungle in desperation. At that time, they did not have a strong body and the ability to transform, and they were not much different from humans in every aspect. Therefore, after entering the forest, many people began to fall ill or even die for various reasons. At that time, they were led by the powerful Orion in the village. Everyone discussed to find a suitable place to live and then rebuild the village. Otherwise, when winter came, everyone would freeze to death.

However, before they found the place to build the village, they encountered another accident.

"We don't know how the fog appeared, we only know that Rand and the others suddenly shouted in front, and then the purple smoke spread rapidly, making it too late for us to hide..."

When talking about "smoke", Rody clearly noticed that Luther was frowning tightly, with a bit of pain in his expression.

"This fog is very frightening. After we took a few breaths, we found that our whole body began to ache. It was... the kind of pain that would cut you into a coma, and the pain continued when we woke up, and we continued to be in a coma..."

Luther reached out and wiped his forehead,

Obviously, this memory made him break out in a cold sweat involuntarily.

"More than two hundred people died in that fog. I think they died of pain, and finally after the fog cleared, we finally got rid of the pain, and then found that our bodies have become what we are now. .”

Luther pointed to the horns on his head, "Since then, we all have different abilities, most of them are 'transformation' like me, and some people have some special abilities, such as 'invisibility', 'Armorized', 'shrunk' and so on, but after so many years, only us old guys are left alive."

These messages caused Rody and Melinthala, who were listening carefully, to look at each other. Apparently, the bloodline of the "devil" race is far more capable than mediocre humans, and what makes them even more curious is... where does this "devil" bloodline come from?

Is the fog in Luther's mouth the source of the blood of the "demon"?

Melinsera was very excited. How can she be calm when the answer she has been searching for for many years without any result is suddenly close at hand? Thinking of her experience of being hunted down over the years, she felt both angry and somewhat wronged—maybe Merlinsera would only show pure hatred before, but sitting next to Rody, Merlinsera felt inexplicably I have lost a lot of violence.

At least she has learned to control her emotions now, and continues to ask questions clearly:

"Where is the place where you found the mist? Haven't you been there since then?"

Luther showed bitterness when he heard this: "At the beginning we were forced to run to the east, at the foot of the Gondola Mountains. After that, we never went there again, because the pain was so terrible, it was almost a nightmare for a lifetime..."

Luther paused, but continued: "But if I hadn't met Mr. Roddy, I might have taken my tribe there next. Although the fog is terrifying, it can make those who survived have a stronger spirit." Strength. Now the ethnic group is on the verge of extinction, if we don't fight, I'm afraid we really have no way out."

Rody nodded, brought a simple map and handed it to Luther, "Try to confirm the approximate location."

"Lord Roddy, are you planning to..."

"Just point out the location, I won't embarrass you."

Luther stopped talking, thought for a while, and drew a circle for Rody on the map. Rody didn't talk nonsense, and reached out his hand to Nata who was silent, "Don't approach, don't land, don't pass through above, just confirm the location."

"yes."

Nata got up and took the map, turned around and walked out of the manor, disappearing into the rain.

Roddy asked for details a few more times, and then let them go back to rest. Akasha was experimenting with Yugossa in the next room at this time, so only Rody and Melinthra were left in the huge meeting room—and both of them fell into a state of confusion due to the information stated by Luther and others. silence.

Merlinsera was immersed in the memory of chasing her father's clues for these years, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that Roddy's eyes were also lowered, his brows were slightly frowned, and he seemed to be preoccupied.

After thinking about it, she realized that Roddy's pressure was much greater than her own. I am alone, and I don't have to worry about the threat of the dragon clan. I can come and go as I want—but what about Luo Di? As the prime minister, you have to take into account the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Efta.

"Worried about the battle five days from now?"

Roddy and Dasco made an agreement to have a decisive battle in five days, but Merlinsera knew that Rody didn't prepare the so-called "reinforcement" at all, and he didn't seem to have any plans at all.

Rody shook his head: "That's nothing to worry about, I'm just wondering about a problem..."

An unprecedented idea gradually emerged in his mind, but because of the vague clues, he was a little uncertain now. Seeing Merlinsera looking at him curiously, Rody whispered his inner doubts:

"The high elf civilization is so powerful that it can instantly kill these guys. Why was it that the orcs rushed out and wiped them out?"

"You mean..."

Merlinthra immediately thought of these "demons", and at the same time connected her father, other dragons, and Augustine who aimed at tiefling...

There seems to be a kind of power in the dark, driving all this behind the scenes.

"The problem here is far from as simple as imagined."

Luo Di sighed softly, but he felt that the information he had come into contact with had reached a level that he had never reached in his previous life.
