The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 112 Pretender

There must be Ultear's intervention behind this matter, or it may be the intention of Hades, the president of Devil's Heart and the former second-generation president of Fairy Tail.

The Devil's Heart's goal has always been to awaken the legendary Dark Mage Zeref and use his unparalleled power to rule the world.

Hades is convinced of this and firmly believes that they can achieve their ambitions through Zeref's power.

To achieve this goal, they will do anything, even trying to resurrect the powerful ancient demon Deliora.

And this is just a small step in their grand plan.

Leon knew almost nothing about all this.

In his opinion, he was the mastermind behind this incident, and he planned all of this with his wisdom and strength.

Little did he know that he was just a pawn used by Hades and others, and was kept in the dark the whole time.

This naivety and ignorance made the bystander Wes feel both funny and pity.

Wes is not a nosy person. As long as he can achieve his own goals, he doesn't care about the fate of others.

Therefore, even though he knew the truth, he chose to remain silent.

At this time, two of Leon's men, Jeri and Yuka, came over from a distance.

Jie Li is still a little girl, with a childish look on her face;
Yuka is a mature young man with a look of intelligence in his eyes.

Seeing Weiss standing beside her, Jerry immediately asked, "Who is he?" Her voice sounded particularly crisp.

"Jeli, Yuka, this is Weiss," Leon introduced briefly. "He's not familiar with this place yet, so you guys should show him around."

Jerry curled her lips, not very happy with the arrangement. "I just want to be with Leon."

She mumbled, completely ignoring the implication in Leon's words.

Yuka, by contrast, seemed more experienced. He nodded, understanding Leon's meaning: "Leave this matter to me."

In the next few days, Wes stayed in the ruins obediently and did not go anywhere.

All his thoughts were focused on the magic circle.

Every day, he spends a lot of time studying those ancient runes and patterns, trying to find the patterns in them.

Yuka was very depressed.

I had thought Weiss would move around so I could better monitor him, but I hadn't expected Weiss to be so focused on studying the magic circle.

Yuka could only stand by helplessly, watching Weiss working hard, and muttered to himself, "What the hell is this guy doing?"

"You two, take my place for a moment. I'm almost going moldy these past few days."

Yuka's roar echoed in the air, but Jerry and Toby turned a deaf ear to it and continued to work on their own things.

While feeding her giant rat, Jie Li said nonchalantly, "Let Saludi replace you when he gets back. Why did Saludi take so long to go shopping this time? The snacks are almost gone."

Yuka became even more annoyed when he heard this.

He bared his fangs and almost burst out: "Can't you two help me share the burden!!"

Jerry simply shrugged and continued to tend to her pet, while Toby was completely lost in his own world, uninterested in Yuka's complaints.

While they were arguing, a small boat quietly docked in a secluded harbor.

A middle-aged man with an unremarkable face stepped out. This man was actually Urrutia, disguised through transformation magic. Urrutia stretched lazily and muttered, "Really? The Tower of Paradise, the Council, Karna Island—so much stuff is piled on me. Is the president trying to tire me out?"

She sighed and continued complaining, "I don't know how to clone myself, so I can't act as two people. But luckily, there's only a little bit of Deliora's seal left."

Urrutia composed herself and scanned her surroundings to make sure no one noticed her presence.

She took a deep breath, completely immersing herself in the role of Saludi. She then adjusted her steps and expression, ensuring every detail was identical to Saludi's, before heading towards the ruins.

"Fortunately, everything is going according to plan." Urrutia felt a little better when he thought of this.

She arrived at the center of the ruins, ordered her men to fetch supplies, and then quickly went to check on Deliora.

After confirming that everything was under control, she turned and walked towards Jeri, Yuka, and Tobi.

"Jeri, Yuka, Tobi, the things you asked me to buy have arrived."

Jie Li immediately came running over and said, "Thank you so much, Saludi!"

Toby couldn't wait to come over and complained, "Thanks, this place is too desolate. I've finished reading all my magazines."

Yuka was like seeing a savior: "Saludi, please keep an eye on this guy for me, I'm going out to get some fresh air." Without waiting for Urrutia's response, he rushed out of the ruins.

“???” What does she mean.

Urrutia had just returned to the center of the ruins when she was confused by Yuka's sudden action. Before she could react, Weiss's voice reached her.

"Hello, Saludy."

Urrutia turned his head sharply, his pupils shrinking. "It's you? Why are you here?"

Her hands clenched into fists involuntarily, and she subconsciously wanted to attack Weiss, but when she thought of the large crowd and the many eyes watching, she quickly stopped.

Toby looked at the two curiously and asked, "Do you know each other?"

"We met once at Harugeon," Weiss said with a fake smile on her face, "We had quite a scene."

Toby looked at Urrutia in disbelief. "Saluti had a big fight with you? Saluti isn't good at fighting."

"Really?" Weiss raised an eyebrow, his tone provocative, "His ice..."

"Shut up!" Urrutia shouted, panicking. She couldn't let Weiss reveal more about her true identity.

Jie Li also stopped what she was doing. "What are you talking about? Saludi, did you really fight with him?"

Toby and Jerry were startled by Urrutia's sudden roar.

In their eyes, Urrutia, disguised as Saludí, has always been a mature and steady middle-aged man who has never lost his temper.

"What I mean is... leave this guy to me, I will keep a close eye on him." Urrutia quickly adjusted his tone, trying to calm the tense atmosphere.

Toby and Jerry looked at each other. Although they felt that Saludi was a little strange today, they still trusted him very much.

"In that case, I'll leave this guy to you." Toby said, and Jelly nodded in agreement.

The two naive guys were easily fooled by Urrutia. They continued to work as if the previous incident had never happened.

Urrutia breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over to Weiss and whispered, "You'd better stop talking nonsense, or I won't be polite."
