I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

"What to do? Charge in?" Inside the restroom, Shadow scratched her head, asking Leal.

"Charging in is suicide. Who knows how many big shots are hiding inside..." Leal rejected the suggestion.

"Smash the door and run. See who can run faster?" Shadow refined her plan.

"We don't know how fast the people inside can run..." Leal imagined that these people were still in Gods' Oath City just a day ago, so there must be guys who are good at teleportation nearby. Simply competing in speed is dangerous.

Moreover, this would waste the advantage created by Gamma.

"Then... use that cool method!" Shadow swayed.

"What?"

"The one we used in the armory. We hide, arrange a Huntelaar in the corridor, cause an explosion, and they'll definitely open the door!" Shadow actually learned Leal's feint.

"Maybe that's a way, but there's another method..."

"What?"

There weren't many restrooms, one on each side, and Jesse treated them as starting points and destinations.

"That woman?"

"Where does he think Jessica Kingston will be when the second half starts?" Jesse asked.

"This is when his plan comes into play..." Before weaving Jessica Kingston's skin and clothes, Jesse finished weaving a huge mixture of eyeballs and dominoes with binding thread.

"Of course, it's the restroom. You still can't stand it now." Although Shadow didn't understand Jessica Kingston, she understood Jessica Kingston's shadow. "You will definitely find Gamma and go to the restroom together."

"Although my works are boring, they are long..." Some merchants in the audience were already impatient.

"But you are upstairs..." Although Shadow didn't quite understand Vance's plan, she knew that humans couldn't be in two places at the same time.

"That's right, she is Kingston, Kingston is looking for Kingston, is that reasonable?" Leal at least knew that Jessica Kingston and Jesse were related by blood. "Anyway, with me here, I can imitate her movements without being discovered."

Without a doubt, he became one of the 8 bards who entered the finals.

"We can change the skin to look like Jessica Kingston, then knock on the doors one by one, looking for Leal..." Jesse said, walking towards the west restroom on the third floor.

It was just that the Heart of Valor suddenly jumped, which woke Leal and made him realize that this grand event was not just about finding the poet who could sing the epic, but also waiting for a shadow demon.

Jessica Kingston's dress fabric was very good, which delayed some time.

"I can do this." Shadow had already deconstructed Jessica's "performance" movements and originally wanted to try it.

But Will's cooperation did not reduce Leal's doubts—what troubled him was another matter.

Will didn't care who made the prediction, only knew that the diviner was introduced by Wright and was very mysterious.

Nearly a hundred bards were eliminated by more than half, leaving only a dozen still struggling, competing for the remaining 7 places in the finals.

"I can only... delay by 10 minutes." Compared to the Pocket Watch Man, Linde, Will's ability was limited. "Any further, it would put a great burden on me, but I can delay the time to 30 minutes, do you need it?"

Ugly, Strong, and the Cellist were also barely selected.

"Moreover, the hunter's ability to hide traces is very strong, so it's not excluded that they have already come in and will appear at 11 o'clock."

Entering the intermission, the doors of the boxes opened.

"I heard my father say... you can extract time sections?" Leal asked about Will's ability.

"But my feeling is not good." Vance frowned, "What's the situation with the guards?"

"I think you shouldn't be a merchant, you should be a poet..." The merchant offered his sarcasm.

Moreover, that Time Mage was a helper sent by his father, one of the top combat forces of the Vance Goode family, and needed to be treated politely.

The second half of the Bard Conference was also coming to an end. Many poets had already finished singing all their works, but were unable to attract the audience's attention and automatically left the stage in disgrace.

"During the intermission... destroy them all, don't casually spread the second half of the epic..." Leal instructed.

"We'll stuff these things into the wall later. If the doors of those boxes don't open, we'll make a big deal." Jesse made a double insurance, quietly waiting for the second half to begin.

"You're thinking too much, it's not that action." It was difficult for Leal to explain to a child.

"The situation of the Mimic Flower has not been investigated yet. It should have been placed when Gamma and Jessica Kingston were fooling around, and it will not cause harm." Will said coldly, "What's wrong, do you need to remove it?"

"The Pale River and the Eight-Winged Angel drag blood towards the entrance of the Demon City..." Gamma sang to this point, stopping abruptly.

"The guest you are waiting for... when is he expected to arrive?" Will asked.

"Then during the intermission, I will check everything in the town hall again." Will lowered his head.

"8:43." The Time Mage Will slightly closed his eyes, accurately reporting the time.

"Otherwise, they simply can't persist to the end, and there's no way to evoke the emotions of the listeners between the lines."

Anyway, when the second half starts, the Great Archmage Wright will be sitting next to him.

"Now that the conference hasn't ended, if that demon hasn't arrived yet, why would he come in at 11 o'clock?" Leal was now a little skeptical of Vana's prophecy.

They really wanted to hear the final ending sooner.

"That's when we appear on the third floor." Jesse said, transforming the human skin, weaving it into the appearance of Jessica Kingston.

"No need for now..." Leal didn't overly demand anything from Will.

"I'm asking the time, what time is it?" Leal repeated.

"Uh..." The Time Mage seemed to be too intoxicated in Gamma's epic, and didn't react to what Leal was asking for a moment.

"What time is it?" Inside the box on the third floor, Leal shuddered and asked the Time Mage beside him.

"That's a long time."

"After investigation, it was the 8th-order hunter Huntelaar who appeared in the armory. Hunters usually spend a lot of time observing their prey, and then deliver a fatal blow..." Will analyzed with his experience.

Vance also found it difficult to blame him, after all, she herself had just been attracted by the content of the epic.

"If this can really become an epic sung throughout the continent, every word between the lines will be remembered by those who need them." The merchant continued, "And there are so many humans on the continent, so many beliefs, the epic must take care of everyone's understanding of the world..."

"But what if you can't catch Gamma?" Shadow sensed that everyone in the town hall, including the merchants and nobles, wanted to climb up the ladder with Gamma during the intermission.

"Is Jessica Kingston not in"

"You can treat that matter as if it's already completed." Will obeyed.

"Bone City is pushed into the sky by the engine, shadows cover the noose..." Gamma was still dragging out his voice, singing quickly, about to sing a part that Vance hadn't heard.

The grand occasion of this conference certainly had nothing to do with Vana—that Cursed Diviner was still lying under the bed in the town mayor's bedroom at this moment, self-comforting.

"Then you don't understand, do you? The most important feature of participating in the Bard Conference and composing epics is to be long." Another knowledgeable merchant replied.

"11 o'clock."

"Or will they come in during the intermission?" Leal couldn't help but feel anxious, trying to analyze the situation.
