The reason why she and Lanqi were attacked on the Floating Castle airship that day and met the crazy pastry chef Lissancy was because a mysterious man cast a curse on Lissancy in advance.
"Yes, that's the guy in the video I showed you last time."
Nigel nodded.
This is the most critical clue that their Senate execution force has obtained in recent days.
Even so, the price was paid with the lives of many colleagues.
The opponent is very strong.
If the other party hadn't been unwilling to fight and wanted to avoid their search, the casualties might have been even heavier.
Even Nigel could feel the terrifying aura of a high-level demon remaining in the other party's magic power.
"Aren't the curse spreaders really from your family of demons, Posen?"
The more Talia analyzed this magic power, the more she felt something was wrong.
"No, it's definitely different."
Nigel stated his conclusion firmly.
"..."
Thalia pondered.
Waiting for her time to analyze, Lan Qi took a sip of coffee.
"Have you seen this kind of magic and spells? In addition to the famous demons who survived the Holy War a hundred years ago, there may be other powerful demons that survived?"
He couldn't help but look at Thalia and ask her thoughts.
An eighth-level demon may not be able to pass the Great Demon Trial and obtain the mark. Without three marks, even a ninth-level demon cannot become a great demon.
In addition, famous nobles such as Shinola and Pranay, after obtaining a character and a mark of force in the trial of the Great Demon Clan, are easier to obtain directly from the elders of other Great Demon Clan than ordinary demons. Marks, collect three marks to become a great demon.
"I don't know every demon, but I'm pretty sure that the powerful demons in our system at that time didn't feel like this."
Thalia responded to Lanchi in her mind.
If there really is such a talented ancient demon, then she must know it.
"This sample of magic power is more like a creature that came from the disaster."
After hesitating for a long time, she finally added.
Both Ranch and Nigel were slightly dazed.
Nigel seemed not to have thought about this situation.
Even if Lan Qi has been to the northern continent, he has rarely heard of this term in the Protos Empire on the south coast.
The Disaster Land is an extremely unstable area located at the end of the world.
Regarding its records, there are only a few albums in the Protos Royal Library.
"I have read records in ancient books that the Calamity Land in the Northern Continent is connected to a lost land, and there may be other demons and humans on the lost land."
Thalia explained.
Of course, this is a storybook that was in the royal library before the demons destroyed the country. It is impossible to determine whether it is true or false.
Even entering the eighth level of the disaster soil is very life-threatening, and you don't know where the end is, so most normal people will not cross it.
"That's it."
Lan Qi mused without being too interested. He didn't care about the Disaster Land, the no-man's land at the end of the world. He only cared about the possibility that Talia raised that "there may be another system of demons in the world." sex.
Nigel looked at Tata in confusion, wondering why Tata knew so much.
But he won't ask too many questions. He knows that there is no need to delve too much into the details of his friends.
"Meow."
The cat boss looked at Tata and then at Lan Qi on Lan Qi's lap. At this moment, everyone at the dinner table was silent.
When they first took their seats on the terrace, the street scene of Huadu Parrieux was still shrouded in the sunset.
As time passed, the light of the sunset gradually dimmed, and the city was gradually shrouded in twilight. The sky turned into a deep indigo blue, and the stars twinkled in the night sky.
"By the way, haven't you been to the Northern Continent?"
Thalia asked looking at Lanqi.
"If the other party is a mysterious demon from the Northern Continent a few years ago, then he may not have heard of my name."
Lan Qi murmured.
Because at that time Rocky McCarthy's legend in Protos had not yet begun.
Boss Cat couldn't say anything, but it brought back bad memories again.
It remembered that they did not know much about the secrets of the Disaster and Disaster Territory in the Protos Empire. After all, the Protos Empire was on the south coast, and the Disaster and Disaster Territory was too far away, located in the extreme north.
However, for a Southern Continentalist like Lan Qi, he probably doesn't have much interest in setting foot in such a distant land. Even if there were a story set on the Lost Continent, Lan Qi probably wouldn't be the protagonist.
"No, who are you? Do you think your name is so popular in the Northern Continent? What I'm asking is whether you have heard of the other party."
Talia found Lanci's answer a bit funny.
"Not really."
Lan Qi shook his head,
"But my friends in the Northern Continent told me that there is indeed a group of unknown demons hiding in the Northern Continent."
Lan Qi remembered that Sigrid's letter mentioned that the Protos Empire had panic in the north, and the source was the mysterious demon clan appearing in the north.
"Could it be that they are really the extremely demonic tribe that came from the other side of the Disaster Land?"
Thalia muttered to herself in confusion.
"In the ancient legends of the Demon Palace, there was an unknown and powerful demon who infiltrated into the demon world. After he was caught and interrogated, it was found that he came from the other side of the Disaster Land, and the spells and props on him were extremely dangerous. , Even so, I let him go in the end because I didn’t want to make any enemies.”
Thalia didn't know the truth or falsehood of the secret of the demon royal family and the specific process, so she conveyed everything she knew to Lan Qi with her mind.
Only she and Ifatiya may know this kind of thing now.
Taking a step back, Ifatiya may not know, because Ifatiya doesn't like reading.
"In other words, the curse spread in Huadu Parrie is probably another more mysterious demon clan outside your system?"
Lan Qi asked with his mind.
Then the turmoil in the northern part of the Protos Empire and Duke Molotian's betrayal all had causes and consequences.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Thalia agreed.
"..."
Nigel looked at Ranchi and Tata across from each other and exchanged flirtatious glances for a long time. He didn't know how they could not speak as if they had been exchanging information.
It's hard for him to ask anything.
"Anyway, Nigel, Tata's appraisal result is that the opponent is indeed a demon, not a human, and it is not the old demons from the Holy War."
Ranch seemed to notice Nigel's long-awaited gaze and told him the conclusion.
Thalia's eyes trembled.
She felt that when Lan Qi mentioned "old demons", he seemed to emphasize his tone with unknown meaning.
"understood."
Nigel nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just the identity of the race of the curse spreader is already very important information.
He had actually suspected that his teacher, Mr. Perlman, was the spreader of the curse.
Because the only eighth-level demons that could match the strength of the curse spreaders he had deduced in the past two days were the Lord Perlman of District 10 and the Lord Aitiou of District 9.
After hearing what Lanqi and Tata said, the suspicion of his teacher Mr. Pearlman was much reduced.
As Milaya's former servant, Atio was always the demon lord who was closest to humans, so it was almost impossible for him to be her.
There is a high probability that the real culprit who spread the curse is a mysterious demon clan that has sneaked in from outside Posen in recent years.
The scope of its activities can also be almost locked in the Poison Demon Realm - if the opponent's own race is a demon, and with the sudden border control mode of the Senate in recent days, the curse spreader wants to disguise himself as a human and cross the border to Parrieux. There's a good chance you'll be caught outright in the city.
The curse spreaders did not expect that Lissandra would be uncursed and the information would be revealed, triggering a series of countermeasures and chain reactions by the Senate.
"By the way, Nigel, you said you were going to attend a demon party this Sunday night? Do you want us to go together?"
The end of a topic always reminds me of the beginning.
Lan Qi recalled what Nigel said at the beginning.
He didn't seem to want to trouble them, but asked if they had time.
"I'm very worried that a curse will happen at the teacher's banquet, because the curse spreaders are being searched more and more urgently by us in the demon world. I'm afraid the enemy's plan is accelerating, and the final battle will break out at any time. And that banquet will gather many celebrities from the Posen Demon World."
Nigel explained with a bitter expression.
If a demon goes berserk and causes turmoil at the banquet, according to the rules of the Posen Demon Clan, the demon must be killed, otherwise it will attract a picket from the Senate.
Nowadays, the Posen Demon Realm and the Senate have quite a lot of differences, and they will not let the Senate seize any words that can suppress them.
Once a madness incident occurs, Nigel is not sure whether he can convince the other demons present to let him take away the cursed demons.
There may also be fights with other demons.
Because in the eyes of other demons, they did not trust Nigel, the hawk dog of the Senate, and if they allowed Nigel to take away the crazy demons, they would inevitably wonder whether they would fall into the trap of the Senate.
The last battle with Astros left Nigel speechless.
He could neither explain that the cursed demon clan was now saved, nor could he reveal Lan Qi's existence.
Fortunately, Ranchi now has a mature disguised identity, Rocky McCarthy, which will not jeopardize Ranchi's return journey.
So on the day of the dinner, as long as Rocky McCarthy, who can break the curse at all times, is by his side, even if a cursed madman breaks out, he can subdue it and cure it immediately.
"Anyway, at that dinner, as long as the curse spreader chooses to cause trouble, we may be able to persuade other demons to help us catch the spreader by breaking the curse on the spot, right?"
Thalia summed up Nigel's conclusion succinctly.
