I really only stop

Chapter 339 Make it up!This is Hongmen Banquet!

trembling.

Looking puzzled at Lu Xi who suddenly trembled three times beside her, Celica asked in a low voice with rare concern:

"Weiweixi, do you feel cold?"

"No, nothing! Not cold, not cold at all! How could I be cold!"

Rubbing Celica's head stiffly, Lu Xi's heartbeat, which had almost soared to [-] just now, slowly calmed down.

[Devil King Army officer]...Y-you're not talking about me, are you?

The reason why all the families that can fight in the empire are gathered here for a meeting, and then I was invited here, shouldn’t be some classic drama like [Three Hundred Swordsman and Axemen Come Together], right?

Lu Xi looked around with a ghost in his heart, and actually saw a trace of a grand banquet from the expressions of the participants.

It's really not easy to be an undercover agent. If you don't have a strong psychological quality, you might get all the tricks after giving the emperor such a stare.

I really don't know how Claire has lived under such pressure for so many years——

--Ok?Claire?

In the corner of the room, he accidentally found the figure of the undercover girl. Lu Xi just wanted to meet her eyes, but found that the other person's expression was even more panicked than his own.

Could it be that it wasn't me who was exposed, but Claire?

Following the train of thought just now, naturally thinking of this possibility, Lu Xi frowned slightly.

This is the first time I've seen Claire, the owner of [Intellect], show such an expression.Could it be that what was contained in that ice crystal box was the evidence that Claire was an undercover agent?

However, if this is really the case, shouldn't Mr. Memphis's expression be as relaxed as it is now?Claire is his biological daughter!

Looking at the scene of Claire staring at the ice box on the table with a horrified expression from a distance, Lu Xi sighed and made a silent decision.

If the emperor really slams the ice box and hundreds of thousands of royal guards rush in from the door to arrest Claire, I will activate the stop in time and take her away temporarily.

As for future arrangements...

Originally, I wanted to discuss with her how to deal with Haimo who was hiding in Sky City. If things really went as I thought above, Haimo probably would have a new neighbor.

Shaking his head imperceptibly, Lu Xi raised his spirits secretly, and was ready to start and stop at any time.

----------------

"According to the records in the data and the investigations of scholars, the demons have a powerful ability called [demonism]. Generally speaking, the higher the demonism, the higher the status of the owner in the demons."

Receiving the emperor's gaze, Mephis took over the conversation tacitly:

"And the demonic nature held by the officers of the Demon King's Army is far beyond the scope of common sense. Each of them possesses unexplainable strange abilities, and they can play a role comparable to thousands of troops in every war."

Hey, I'm a little proud of complimenting me so much.

Lu Xi looked at his figure Yile Moxing, and the tail that had just been raised resolutely faltered.

"It is worth noting that the cadres of the Demon King's Army do not appear every 300 years like the Demon King. On the contrary, the time and place of their appearance as the top of the Demon King's Army are uncertain, and even the race is completely unknown Rules—for the sake of insurance, I think for the time being that the cadres of the Demon King Army can appear within the empire at any time, and their activities are not restricted."

Scanning a circle of participants meaningfully, the corner of Memphis's mouth raised a subtle arc:

"It's hard to say, there are so-called [cadres] among us."

You, a guy whose whole family is undercover, are you pretending to be a pig's trotter here.

Unlike the eyes of other participants who instantly became tense and began to look at the people around them, Lu Xi, who knew Mephis's details, looked at him who was smirking speechlessly.

Mr. Memphis is teasing again, and from this point of view, he is really the son of old Mr. Da Vinci who is a digger.

"Hahaha~ Don't be so nervous, everyone~"

Sure enough, after admiring the panicked eyes of the participants for a while, Mephis laughed heartily a few times, and the serious expression he had just deliberately pretended to be self-defeating:

"The people present today are all trustworthy talents of the empire, no matter which one's deeds have been heard by others. [Undercover needs to cover up their whereabouts and try not to be noticed]-thinking in reverse according to this way of thinking, in our There is no way there is a Demon King Army officer among them~"

"..."

Lu Xi felt sensitively that at least two-thirds of the audience stared at Mephis and silently clenched their fists when Mephis explained with a smile.

It seems that Mr. Memphis has perfectly inherited this ability to attract others to beat him up from his father.

"—Okay, that's all for the necessary background."

There is nothing to do with Memphis’s full stomach hidden under his bright appearance. Before everyone at the meeting took up weapons and beat him together, the emperor coughed lightly and brought the topic back to the right track:

"As Mei Fei said, it is very possible that the cadres of the Demon King's Army will descend on the territory of the Empire at any time, any place, and in a way and identity that no one can expect. Even if it is the intermission of 150 years, everyone can't relax Be vigilant, and strictly investigate people with unknown origins!"

The problem turned out to be here.

Looking at the appearance of the representatives of the major families reassuring the emperor, Lu Xi was a little dazed.

Just like one's own [pleasure], the key to becoming a cadre is to pick up the [Magic Mark] that appears randomly and get its approval.

Because of this, the background and even race of the members of the cadre can vary so much-yet, no one in the empire knows this.

Judging from the introduction of the emperor's uncle just now, it seems that the empire regards all the cadres who appeared in the past as "infiltrators" who sneaked in from the devil world to wreak havoc.

Combining the rarity of the demon king's army cadres and the lack of historical data, it is understandable for the human side to sum up the wrong rules when crossing the river by feeling the stones, and Lu Xi has no intention of correcting this mistake.

Although I know that it is unlikely for middle-aged talents to appear, it would be bad if the human beings became suspicious of allies around them because of the [Magic Mark], and finally turned into a tragedy similar to [Witch Hunt].

Speaking of which, why did no one in the previous Demon King Army think of using this ready-made chain of suspicion to cut off the unbreakable internal alliance between humans?Or is it only me, a time traveler, whose heart is so dirty in this world?

"...Your Majesty, forgive me for being rude."

Just when Lu Xi was habitually distracted, an old earl in the audience coughed lightly, raised his hand and asked:

"Although what Your Excellency Memphis said is not known to the general public, it is not a great secret among us people. It is just to remind us to guard against the arrival of the cadres. I am afraid that there is no need to go through so much trouble, right?"

Hmph, finally got to the point.

The three members of the middle-aged group looked at each other, and finally decided to give General Storm a chance to perform.

"Actually, a member of the Demon King's Army has been [captured] by us."

Facing the suddenly flustered eyes of the audience calmly, General Stormwind erected the ice crystal box in his hand, and displayed the contents in front of everyone openly:

"At the moment, he's—here."

Chapter 340 The Trailer of the Phantom Thief

Captured the cadres of the Demon King's Army?

Hearing this unexpected news suddenly, Lu Xi stood up from his chair like everyone else, and looked at the box in General Storm's hand in surprise.

It was a blue orb.

Under the cover of the already crystal clear ice crystal box, the orbs in the box are not only not inferior, but even more clear and transparent.

Although it is only the size of a glass marble that children often play with, the indescribable and wonderful atmosphere of Baozhu is beyond the reach of the former.

"Is this... a member of the Demon King's Army?"

After a long silence, the old earl finally recovered from his shock.He looked at the orb in the box, with some suspicion in his eyes:

"Your Excellency Storm, on such an important occasion, your way of speaking should not be as jumpy as Lord Mephis."

"Ahaha, it seems that I was stepped on inadvertently..."

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Mephis looked at the old earl in front of him:

"Please rest assured that since this thing can be brought here, the Imperial Capital Magician Group must first verify it in detail-but you are right, seeing is believing. Compared with my introduction, it is still It will be more convincing for you to see it with your own eyes.”

A drop of magic power the size of a grain of rice was condensed on the fingertips. Mephis first showed it around under the gaze of everyone, and then gently tapped the orb in General Storm's hand——

"boom!!!!!!"

——Like an oil barrel seeing sparks, a huge oppressive feeling instantly evaporated.Contrary to magic power, the power called [Magical Nature] poured out of the orb as if it were real, and was firmly bounced back by the ice box that seemed to shatter at the touch of a touch.

No more words are needed to explain that everyone present is not stupid.From the inexplicable fear that just rose from the bottom of their hearts, they already knew what was sealed in the orb.

That is the innate majesty of an absolute superior, the pinnacle of power that surpasses thousands of demons—they are called Demon King Army Officers, and they are only half a point inferior to the Demon King, and they can be called "Generals".

"As you can see, this level of demonic nature is undoubtedly a [cadre]."

Seeing the headed old earl look stunned by fright, the corners of Memphis's mouth curled up slightly, but the expression on the surface was much more serious:

"It's not a relic, it's not a phantom. Now, 150 years before the war between humans and demons, the empire captured a Demon King Army officer for the first time. And this is the [fact] I want to tell you today."

He is really a cadre! !

Looking in amazement at the orb in General Storm's hand that had returned to tranquility, Lu Xi subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction where Claire was before, only to find that the other party had quietly left the conference room at some point.

It's not me, it's not Claire, and it's even more unlikely that it's Miss Maomao or Qianqian who are thousands of miles away—a cadre that I've never seen before really appeared in front of me in this way!

He was arrested as soon as he appeared on the stage, this comrade is too sad!

Even though they haven't met each other yet, Lu Xi has already put a black and white striped prison uniform on this new cadre colleague in his mind, squatting pitifully in the corner of the prison.

Compared to this, where did Claire go?The cadres and colleagues were caught by the emperor, she should be the most anxious one, right?

"This, this is really a Demon King Army officer?"

A man dressed as a general stared at the calm orb, and unconsciously clenched his fists:

"This is the capital of the empire? Why are there cadres in the capital?"

"Oh~ It's quite a coincidence to say that."

Putting the orb back into the previous box, Mephis smiled lightly:

"During the investigation of a recent incident in the imperial capital, I found traces of this cadre. Later, with the help of the storm, the two of us cooperated to defeat this cadre. When we were about to catch him, the other party He suddenly used his ability to create such an orb-shaped independent space, and locked himself in it—what a pity~ Obviously, he was almost able to arrest this cadre directly~"

Is this what people say?

Don't look at Memphis' lightness, everyone in the audience deeply understands the hidden facts behind this understatement.

Together, Mephis and General Storm were able to suppress a Demon King Army cadre head-on, and finally beat him to the point where he had to seal himself to save his life?

As expected of His Majesty's former comrade-in-arms, the idea of ​​wanting to beat him up because he was tricked just now, let's put it aside for the time being.

After a brief commotion, the participants finally calmed down from the shock.One of the noble-dressed people raised his hand and asked:

"My lord Mephis, listen to what you mean, this is why His Majesty summoned us today? Show us the achievements of you and General Storm?"

Memphis did not respond immediately, but turned to confirm with the emperor:

"His Majesty?"

The emperor nodded expressionlessly:

"It's time, too, read that to them."

"Yes."

With the emperor's permission, Mephis took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, cleared his throat slightly, and read aloud in the tone of a primary school student's speech:

“[Respectfully! High-ranking members of the Human Empire! I am one of the officers of the Demon King’s Army, the Phantom Thief K who is known as the ‘pure black magician’! I heard that my companion fell into your hands accidentally. I hereby issue an announcement—tomorrow night, when the moon crosses the dividing line between the east and the west, I will surely rescue my companions from you! Please look forward to—Sincerely, Kaitou K.]——Well, read It's over."

"..."

When Mephis said that he went to drink water due to dry mouth, everyone who had listened to the notice letter fell into silence for a while.

"Phantom Thief K...who is it?"

"I'm in charge of the knight department, I don't even know."

"Since he is not famous, why does he say that he is 'personally' called the Pure Black Magician?"

"Compared to that, don't you think it's stupid to issue a notice letter before the theft?"

"It's so embarrassing, goosebumps are about to rise. What year is it, and there are still people playing Phantom Thief?"

"No, no, notice before the theft, isn't that called robbing? The guy who calls himself a strange thief must have no legal knowledge. The sentence for robbery is much heavier than theft."

"—Cough, that's how it happened. Just now, when I, Mei Fei and other internal personnel were discussing how to deal with the arrested cadres in the palace, I suddenly received this notice letter."

As expected of the current emperor, Tesla just coughed lightly and quieted the slightly noisy environment:

"Excluding those sentences with unclear meanings, the whole thing is actually very simple-people with the Demon King Army want to rescue their companions from me, and accordingly, I have to make certain arrangements."

Having said that, the participants understood the purpose of the emperor's emergency meeting today.
