Chapter 794 - 682: Lanci Won’t Date Talia_6
"No, who are you exactly? Do you think your name is famous throughout the Northern Continent? What I’m asking is whether you’ve heard about the other party."
Talia found Lanci’s reply somewhat amusing.
"Truly, I haven’t."
Lanci shook his head,
"However, a friend from the Northern Continent did tell me that it seems a group of unknown Demon Race members are indeed concealed there."
Lanci remembered Sigrid mentioning in a letter that the initial panic in the north of the Protoss Empire originated from the emergence of a mysterious Demon Race.
"Could it really be an extremely evil Demon Race who came over from the other side of Calamity Servitude?"
Talia murmured to herself in confusion.
"The ancient texts in the Demon Race’s royal palace once spoke of a powerful and unnamed Demon Race that infiltrated the Demon World. When caught and put on trial, it was discovered they came from the other side of Calamity Servitude, and that their spells and items were extremely dangerous. Despite that, they were ultimately let go, because they did not want to make enemies."
Talia didn’t know the truth or specifics behind this secret of the Demon royal family, but she conveyed everything she knew to Lanci through telepathy.
Nowadays, perhaps only she and Isatia were aware of this matter.
Taking a step back, Isatia might not even know, since she didn’t like reading.
"So you’re saying that the one spreading the curse in Floral City Pariel could possibly be another, more mysterious Demon Race outside of your establishment?"
Lanci asked telepathically.
Then, the unrest in the northern part of the Protoss Empire and Duke Morotian’s betrayal would all have a cause and effect.
"I can’t rule out that possibility."
Talia agreed.
The end of a topic always brings you back to the beginning.
Lanci recalled Nigel’s initial comment.
It seemed that he didn’t want to bother them but also inquired whether they were free.
"I’m quite worried that a curse will occur at my mentor’s banquet because the Curse Spreader is now being rigorously searched by us throughout the Demon World, and they are getting increasingly desperate. The enemy’s plan may be accelerating, and the final battle could erupt at any moment. Moreover, the banquet will gather many notable figures from the Demon World of Poson."
Nigel explained with a bitter expression.
If a Demon goes Berserk due to a curse at the banquet, according to Demon customs of Poson, the Berserker must be slain, otherwise it would attract the scrutiny of the Senate.
With the existing disagreements between the Demon World of Poson and the Senate, they would definitely not give the Senate a chance to suppress them.
If a Berserk event would occur, Nigel wasn’t sure he could persuade the other Demons present to let him take the cursed Demon away.
It could even lead to conflict with other Demons.
Because from the perspective of the other Demons, they do not trust Nigel, the Senate’s lapdog, and letting Nigel take away a Berserk Demon could easily be seen as falling into a trap laid by the Senate.
The confrontation with Astrophel last time had left Nigel with no easy explanation.
He couldn’t reveal that there was now a cure for the cursed Demons, nor could he expose Lanci’s existence.
Fortunately, Lanci currently had a well-established disguise as Rocky McCarthy, ensuring no harm would come to Lanci on his return journey.
Then, on the day of the banquet, as long as Rocky McCarthy, who could decurse at any moment, was by his side, even if a true Berserk cursed Demon emerged, he would be able to subdue them and cure them right away.
"Basically, if the Curse Spreader chooses to cause trouble at that banquet, we might be able to convince the other Demons to help us catch the Spreader on the spot by decursing them on the spot, right?"
Talia crudely summarized Nigel’s conclusion.
The Curse Spreader was highly likely to not miss this opportunity to bait Nigel.
If Nigel tried to save the Demons and provoked them, the Curse Spreader would have the perfect chance to eliminate Nigel without possibly having to appear or act personally.
