The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1741: Truth and Schemes
"So, no need to compare.”
‘Aemon’ said.
"We’re partners.”
"So, no need to thank.”
El said.
Then, the two laughed simultaneously.
"You seem very happy?”
An untimely voice interjected.
Not far away, three figures appeared there.
Three figures hovered in the air, looking down at the five with a commanding posture.
The captain’s burly figure directly blocked in front of his four team members.
"William!”
"Ponya!”
"Kesavi!”
The captain, tall and burly, almost ground his teeth as he shouted the names of these three.
"How dare you!”
“‘Lion,’ you dare to address the Speaker and two Vice Speakers by name!”
A loud shout came from afar.
It was ‘Xin.’
At this moment, ‘Xin’ was ragged and looked extremely disheveled, but he was alive.
Much better than ‘Armor’ who perished together with the remaining five Lords.
"Speaker? Deputy Speaker?”
"Do they deserve it?”
‘Lion’ sneered.
"Deserve or not, you, a traitor, have no right…”
‘Xin’s words were interrupted by an oncoming rush of icy chill.
An ice crystal brushed past his body; even though he dodged, his entire body still stiffened from the cold.
"What are you? Keep babbling here, and I’ll kill you!”
Te said coldly, the chill in his hand eagerly moving.
‘Xin’ instinctively wanted to counter.
However, upon seeing the chill in Te’s hand, he ceased speaking.
Instead, he used mental power to silently signal the three Speakers.
"Speaker, ‘Nightless City’ has been destroyed!”
"We must punish the perpetrators severely!”
‘Xin’ said.
Then—
Crack, crack!
His body began to freeze; ‘Xin’, horrified, tried to escape from the freezing power, but to no avail. He cast a pleading glance towards the three Speakers, but they did not even glance at him.
"I told you, speak again, and I’ll kill you!”
Te said fiercely.
Then, his gaze turned to William, Ponya, and Kesavi.
"Still as belligerent as ever.”
"Clearly using ‘Cold’s ability.”
Kesavi sighed.
Deputy Speaker, Kesavi, was a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit, without a shirt inside, revealing a solid chest, hands in his pockets, looking casual.
It seemed somewhat frivolous.
Especially when he sighed.
"You bastard, want to try it?”
The chill in Te’s hand surged, ready to attack.
However, ‘Lion’ stopped him.
Facing his captain’s obstruction, Te calmed down immediately.
"I’ll let you go!”
Te said, stepping back behind his captain.
‘Lion’ stared at the three.
There was unspeakable anger in his gaze.
"Facing numerous invaders, we had no choice but to form a ‘decapitation’ assault team—me as Councilor, Te, El, Ailin as formal members, and ‘Aemon,’ familiar with the terrain, as an intern member and guide.”
"It started smoothly.”
"We successfully infiltrated the monster’s headquarters.”
"We even completed the decapitation mission.”
"But…”
"Why, after killing that monster leader, did it transform into human form!?”
"And it even took the form of my teacher?!”
‘Lion’ glared at William, Ponya, and Kesavi, waiting for their reply.
"Such a question, why don’t you ask that ‘Aemon’?”
"After so many years, he should have already investigated thoroughly, right?”
Ponya sneered.
Unlike Kesavi in a suit.
Ponya was an elder, draped in a burlap robe without a hood, holding a wooden staff as tall as a person, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, spiraled in shape, with a gem the size of a fist on top and a sharply pointed end below.
"Of course, I’ve investigated thoroughly!”
"But precisely because I’ve investigated thoroughly!”
"That’s why your actions disgust me even more!”
‘Aemon’ sneered disdainfully, then looked at his partner, enunciating clearly: “Previously, when the Speaker and two Deputy Speakers entered the Outer Realm for exploration, they were attacked by an unknown force, returning to ‘Nightless City’ severely wounded—this is what we know, and it’s the truth, but the three Speaker Lords did not bring the ‘invaders’ back to ‘Nightless City’!”
"The Three Speaker Lords were very careful, those ‘invaders’ didn’t catch up at all!”
"At that moment, three shameless individuals contacted those ‘invaders,’ willingly becoming traitors, guiding them into the outskirts of ‘Nightless City,’ making the three Speaker Lords believe that it was their own mistake that led to such irreparable consequences, thus feeling guilty and fighting to the death.”
"The Three Speaker Lords’ desperate attack left the ‘invaders’ heavily damaged, especially the leaders suffered terribly.”
"And at this moment, the three bastards struck.”
"They ambushed the mutually wounded sides, using ritual reversal, and then the three Speaker Lords turned into monsters.”
"Then, they exaggerated the description of the monsters, encouraging the captain, Te, El, Ailin, disciples of the three Speaker Lords, to continue attacking.”
"Ultimately, profiting as the fisherman benefiting from a struggle.”
‘Aemon’ said through gritted teeth.
The secret of ‘Nightless City’s’ first war was unknowingly revealed.
"Is that all?”
"The critical point?”
