There is absolutely nothing wrong with my magic cards!

"Morpeth, who should I trust?"

Even if he knew Morpeth he couldn't possibly know the answer.

But he felt that only Morpeth could answer his question.

"I know the confusion in your heart. You want to trust Lun and Lei, but both the past and the current situation indicate that one of them has a problem."

If there will be such a situation in the not-too-distant future, Durkan needs to make a response based on a split-second judgment, otherwise he will miss all opportunities, and the judgment he needs to make is likely to choose whether to firmly believe in Lun or firmly believe in Ray.

"I always feel that seeing you this time, your nerves are too tense. In fact, it's not a big deal. You can relax a little like you did at the beginning, and your vision will be relaxed."

"..."

Durkan listened to Morpeth's words in silence.

He knew that this time he was in a different state from the previous few Shadow Worlds.

It's because even he wasn't sure this time.

There is no longer a full-state partner, the enemy is too deep, and even the intelligence is confusing.

More importantly, he must not fail.

The natural disasters caused by the Ninth-Rank Shadow World are enough to wipe out the lives of several kingdoms.

If it happened to fall in the Norton Kingdom, Durkan didn't want to imagine and couldn't imagine what the result would be.

But he knew Morpeth was right.

Morpeth looked at Durkan's thinking, smiled again, and continued:

"Actually, the answer to the question of who to trust is very simple, isn't it? You told us long ago—"

"Even if you are betrayed, you have to believe, believe in your friends. Just like they believed in you back then."

Morpeth finished answering, and just waited beside Durkan for him to understand.

It didn't take long for Durkan to stand up as if he had made a decision.

This is the meaning of farewell.

Every second counts on his journey, and he has to rush to the holy capital as soon as possible.

"I see, thank you Morpeth."

Durkan pushed open the door of the study without looking back, and Talomarti immediately put down the meal in his hands, ready to leave with him.

"Can we meet again?"

Morpeth's voice came from behind.

"of course."

Durkan replied in the affirmative.

"The biggest regret in my life is that I didn't kill you once when I was strong and weak. Although if I really did that, I don't know how you will retaliate. It may be worse than death... ..."

Morpeth grinned and complained.

At that time, he did not expect that a fake priest disguised as a demon would later become the most vicious demon king.

"Don't worry, even if you really did that, I won't blame you."

At most, I will fight with you.

With these words, Durkan's figure disappeared beside the door of the wooden house.

After Durkan left.

On the seat where Durkan left, there was an extra box of medicine.

It was made by Durkan with a little "cheating" on the way to the Holy Kingdom, using current medical knowledge.

It could add years to Morpeth's life.

Although it doesn't make sense to do so in Shadowlands.

But since the dream of the Holy Kingdom, in addition to making magic cards, Durkan has focused more on studying medicine and pharmacy.

He no longer wanted to repeat any of Delois' regrets.

……

Two days after Durkan left the Morpeth residence.

late at night.

From time to time, the moonlight was blocked by the drifting haze, and the shadows under the lights of the ranch looked very dark.

I don't know when.

A looming figure appeared on the outskirts of the ranch.

"Um……"

"To kill or not to kill?"

She seemed to be hesitating about something.

Can't help but close his eyes in distress, pinching his brows and thinking.

Now it has been confirmed that the Holy Emperor has no spare time to pay attention to Morpeth.

If Morpeth becomes his apostle, he may be able to obtain a lot of information she cares about.

For example, about Lun's current situation, or the true identity of an honorary duke.

After all, it was Lun and the three Dukes whom he personally appointed after the founding of the country that gave her the first taste of defeat.

One of them was Ray, and the other was Morpeth.

Only the last honorary duke who seemed to be made up by Lun - the Duke of Great Love, so far she has not found out the real identity.

Although there was no trace of the Duke of Love in front of the screen at all.

But she always felt that Lun should have a mastermind behind the scenes, or a black glove.

Many strategic nodes that seem to be "won by luck" for Lun may hide a lot of decisive "inevitability" behind the actual "accidental".

There are not many people who can possibly do this kind of thing, but there are.

Of course, there are also such tricksters in the devil world.

For example, the current Demon Lord Delois will certainly be able to.

But this option was directly rejected by her.

Delois is the only one that can't be Lunn's partner.

Lun, who had the strongest belief, would bet everything more important than life on a craziest and evil demon. Even God would think it was a joke.

If that's the case - Lun got what he is today through a deal with the devil.

The people of the Holy Nation would probably lose their faith immediately.

"... At that time, let's change the condition. After all, the Duke of Love is likely to appear in the trial court. This time, I must see who he is with my own eyes."

Sombra seemed to be hesitating again on how to deprive Morpeth of its value.

It's like Morpeth is already a bone in a bowl.

She wasn't too worried that negotiations with Morpeth would fail.

After all, Morpeth seemed desperate to live, and he had a nice wife.

The stronger the desire in the heart, the easier it is to use.

However, there are also some strange human beings, whose desires are so strong that they are terrifying, but they will not hesitate to give up their lives for some strange things.

This kind of thing is called "morality"?

"I don't understand, I don't understand."

The black shadow murmured indifferently.

Go to the ranch.

If Morpeus refused, he could also use his wife as a threat, or make her wife an apostle.

Even if it fails, just clean up their bones

"But then again..."

The husband and wife of demons and humans, the desire to survive brought about by the difference in lifespan——

I want the other person to live, and I want to live longer to accompany the other person.

Threatening to persecute one, or killing the other, is very interesting.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help trembling slightly, curling up.

It's like going to taste your own dessert after dinner.

She approached the pasture quietly like this.

No one noticed.

Every step is like announcing the countdown to the death of Morpeth and Atalia.

Till her ghostly figure had reached the pasture gate!

The footsteps stopped suddenly.

"!!"

A sense of threat pervaded her spirit cover, and her brows were also frowned.

She seemed to have a premonition that if she stepped into the pasture rashly, some enchantment spells that did not belong to humans would be triggered.

Perhaps a higher-ranking Demon Race than Atalia will perceive it.

She was afraid of being caught by Lun's tail before, and she had never been here at close range.

Unexpectedly, there is a powerful technique inside.

She slowly raised her hand to try it out, but found that this technique seemed a little difficult to understand, after considering the consequences, she withdrew her hand resentfully.

"Tsk. Let's play it safe."
