Black sail

Chapter 716 XCVI. The Demon Lord
Visitors came in droves.

Naturally, the Aran Army sought to hold Micah accountable, but Micah simply adhered to the principle of silence; as long as he didn't speak, nothing would happen.

With the weight of Soloren's pardon, no one dared to touch him.

Apart from the few visitors who have arrived now.

The Fate Weavers Society was spun off from a more secretive organization. The society harbored many white-haired, golden-eyed individuals with so-called Heavenly Demon bloodlines who hunted monsters all over the world, making it the largest demon hunter organization in the Western Continent.

Kunlan never expected things to develop this way. After reporting the information about the Demon Lord's appearance at the Continental Martial Arts Tournament to the organization.

But they learned of a shocking and appalling secret.

As the state religion of Aram, the Eternal Sect has long been rooted in Aram. Compared to other widely spread religions such as the Holy Spirit Church and the Holy True Bishop, its rise was not only due to its association with the Aram military government, but also based on its provision of protection to exiled governments and various evil spirits around the world.

Because of this intelligence, the Fate Weavers were willing to overlook Quinlan's past defection and reinstate him as a Witcher. Coincidentally, Quinlan was currently studying at the Imperial Military Academy and would later become a colonel in the Aran Army, serving as a spy to monitor the Eternal Cult's every move.

The Weavers Society rummaged through historical records, searching for information about this newly promoted Demon Lord. According to the intelligence provided by Kunlan, the runes connecting to the Annihilation Domain of Kalilapos were imprinted, and the Dark Magic Scripture created this Demon God of Lust's agent in the Western Continent.

The Dark Book is a collection of maxims left behind by an ancient mad sorcerer in his quest to explore the power of the Annihilation Realm.

The ancient organization, the Society of Fate Weavers, has searched for every dark magic book that exists in the world, collecting those that could be found and recording those that could not.

The conclusion reached was quite terrifying.

Given Micah's past activities in Murong, the origin of the Dark Book on Micah's person must ultimately be traced back to the Eternal Cult.

This matter must never be revealed. Micah is now not only a pivotal figure in the power struggle among the heirs of the Aran royal court, but also has a connection to the conflict between the Eternal Order and the Aran royal court.

Micah cannot be killed for the time being, because the Dark Scripture has a medium, and the passage to the Annihilation Realm has been opened. Micah is now essentially the switch that controls the valve of this passage.

If Micah dies, this passage will be fully formed, and everything in the Annihilation Realm will be wiped out. Kalilahos's retinue will surge towards the Western Continent, causing annihilation.

Quinlan could only act as Micah's monitor, observing his every move and reporting back to headquarters.

He thought that was how his life would be, and that he no longer cared about monsters, but when the fate of the world was truly at stake, he rediscovered his original passion.

The major events of recent years have led Kunlan to question whether the so-called nine-hundred-year calamity is a myth or a real event.

Quinlan also took notice of Wesker's influence in Phoenix.

Despite the Second Prince's less-than-ideal performance at the Continental Martial Arts Tournament, with Soloren's fate still uncertain, the Second Prince remains the "mediocre" ruler widely regarded by various parties, and his game is not yet over.

Quinlan applied to participate in the matter of getting Lister an audience with the Emperor.

Because Quinlan had also worked under Dolinger, just like Ben, and Quinlan had even participated in the Continental Martial Arts Tournament and made it into the top 100.

Wesker considered him a useful person and naturally used his power to remove Quinlan from his naval identity, keeping him as a colonel but temporarily placing him in Wesker's project.

The Emperor also hoped that Phoenix would succeed him. Although his thoughts were hard to fathom after the duel that led to the succession, he had also heard of the extraordinary fact that someone in the world could use the Sword of King's Landing.

As a result, Weeks' rank rose rapidly, and it was no longer as simple as the Second Prince had ordered. He was now responsible for bringing Kadensalet to meet Lister, which could be considered as being a special commissioner from the East Sea.

In the passageway outside Micah's study.

The most unexpected combination has appeared!

"I never expected to become colleagues again in this way. Fate is a wonderful thing."

Quinlan spoke to Sallet.

Surprisingly, this also aligns with Dolinger's personnel policy back then. Quinlan was a relatively low-profile figure under Dolinger, in the same group as Sakai Chiyo, essentially a retainer who ate for free, with Dolinger covering all expenses.

Salert, being a level above, was highly valued by Dolinger and was known in the East Blue alongside former General Horace and the funeral coffin bearer, Muller.

Although Salette seems to have a miserable life guarding the tower, Quinlan was once curious about what was in the tower, and only recently learned the answer.

Indeed, he was entrusted with an important task. Dorringer had not mistreated Sallet. The outdoor swimming pool on the manor platform was a paradise built for Sallet, with beautiful women and fine wine. It was just a matter of whether Sallet appreciated it or not.

Salet: "..."

Sallet is not a good person at all.

Now he is the General of Alan, with an extremely impressive air about him.

The old demon mask had been discarded for the sake of the royal court's appearance. After the court alchemists studied the construction circuits inside the demon mask, they created an extremely cool magic eyepiece that could replace the demon mask and suppress the power of the eyes.

Salert's current look is extremely stylish, dressed in a naval officer's uniform, with his silver goggles appearing completely crimson due to his ghostly eyes.

Even within the Aran military headquarters, Salert didn't need to worry about orders from anyone except the naval commander and Augustus.

Neither of them were outshone by Wesker.

Because of the Crown Prince's pardon, Cicero's original plan was also nullified.

Now, Salet is essentially an invited envoy, and is even on the same level as Wesker.

But Kaden was always a generation younger, and he didn't utter a word on the way to visit Micah. Even though he was a lieutenant general, he was still overshadowed by Salet and was extremely unhappy. He followed far behind the four of them, thinking about how to secure his place.

Having assassinated Li Site himself and harboring a grudge against her, this wasn't a special envoy going to invite her; it was a death sentence.

But of the five.

The shortest is still the leader of the Digimon Masters.

"I knew things would turn out this way. I was laying the groundwork for Brother Li in advance. May the friendship between Hong Kong and Heaven last forever! Sigh, there's a step here, slow down, General."

Seeing that there was a threshold ahead, he immediately helped Salert up, afraid that he would fall and hurt the Demon-Eyed Mad Blade.

Salet: "..."

This really infuriated Kaden. Look at your pathetic state! How did the Thieves' Guild end up like this? If Diaz doesn't step in soon, one of the four kings of the underworld, the most powerful and profitable organization in the Western Continent, will become a laughing stock!

Wesker was unsurprised by Ben's behavior.

The reason I came to see Micah this time was simply because his house arrest was over.

Soloren remained bedridden and in critical condition, and the Emperor personally ordered that Soloren's last words be carried out.

Lisiter's actions could indeed offset his mistakes, but there's a catch: he has to bring Alicia with him, otherwise he won't give up.

Wesker walked up to Micah's door and knocked.

"Please come in."

Micah said that.

Kunlan's expression was solemn; he and the others had different purposes.
