The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

It wasn't until later, when Dekan studied it once and added many annotations, that she was able to understand it quickly on her own.

As the wind blew, petals floated lightly in the air, tracing arcs as they fell from the Demon King's Tomb.

Eve looked back down from the high platform; the petals came from a golden flower that adorned the trees.

"Sister Talomatti...save me..."

Eve made a barely audible, yet clenched, silent recitation.

Talomatti, carrying a basket, had already walked to the big tree.

Like Dekan, Eve had already discovered that Talomatti had returned.

She felt as relieved as if she had finally endured military training and was about to be dismissed.

In Eve's mind, Talomatti had almost become an angel who rang the bell to signal the end of the workday.

But before Dekan could speak, Eve didn't dare to stop working on her own and had to continue working for a few more minutes until Dekan also stopped.

When the teacher got into it, she was even more ruthless than when she was working overtime like crazy at the Demon Realm Hospital. After working with the teacher at such a high intensity for a month, even though Eve had more rest time than Dekan, she still felt very tired.

However, Eve's mind was no longer on the work at hand; her attention had been drawn to Talomatti, and she would occasionally steal glances at Talomatti's location out of the corner of her eye.

Talomatti placed the basket containing their meal under the tree, then took out a black envelope bearing the mark of the Grand Duke of the Demon Realm from a cloth bag on the side of the basket and walked towards the edge of the Demon King's Tomb.

And the direction she was walking was the same as where Dekan was.

She quickly arrived at the foot of the platform where Dekan was, but Dekan, engrossed in his work, seemed completely unaware of Talomatti's movements.

“Brother, there is a letter from Grand Duke Pusel to you. It contains important intelligence that he discovered about the Holy Kingdom.”

"Talomati said softly."

She didn't want to disturb Dekan, but she also seemed to hope that Dekan could temporarily stop what he was doing.

Although she could open and read the letter directly to her brother, she didn't like opening other people's letters.

It was unclear whether Dekan had listened to her; he simply gave a soft "hmm" and didn't turn his head.

"Put it on the equipment next to me, I'll check it right away."

Dekan was still focused on his research and couldn't spare any extra attention, but his words of reply seemed to be ingrained in his instincts, and he automatically responded to Talomatti as soon as he opened his mouth.

"It's news about Ray, and Pusser's expression is indescribable."

Talomatti, still not stopping himself from interrupting his brother's intentions this time, added a sentence.

She knew her brother cared a lot about this man, so she wanted to convey any information about Lei to him as soon as possible.

"?"

Dekan immediately turned around, his brow twitching, and his gaze fell upon the letter in Talotmaty's hand.

"Thank you, Talomatti."

Dekan immediately chose to stop working, leaped down from the high platform on the steps formed by the Demon King's magic, and came to Talomatti's side.

It's time to come.

Although Dekan quickly regained his composure, his hand still trembled slightly as he took the secret letter.

The fact that even Pusel, the ninth-ranked great demon in the Demon Realm, couldn't keep his composure suggests that Lei, the Holy Kingdom's secret agent, has probably done something truly extraordinary!

Over the past two years, from meeting to getting to know each other, Dekan has come to deeply understand how terrifying Clay is.

According to the laws summarized by Dekan as a victim, Clay's behavior pattern often consists of three stages.

As he disappeared from sight, the entire audience was gripped by an unknown fear.

When his intelligence arrives, Dekan will most likely have a mental breakdown.

And when he actually appeared, the whole series was almost over.

Dekan isn't ready to move on to the second stage so quickly.

Of course, the above experiences only apply to encountering an eighth-tier Clay.

According to intelligence, Lei in the current Holy Kingdom timeline had already reached the ninth rank before he disappeared!

That's a level of achievement that even Dekan couldn't imagine!

That man had gained complete freedom, freedom in every sense of the word, and no one could restrict him anymore.

The more Dekan thought about it, the more frightened he became.

At first, he actually thought that Ray's disappearance for several years was no big deal. This was a kind of self-hypnotic mental trap. He tried his best not to think about things that scared him. But when he actually found out Ray's whereabouts, Dekan was still extremely reluctant to face it.

Dekan could only console himself—

What is meant to be will be; what is meant to be will be.

What if it's a blessing in disguise, bro?

The answer lies on the letter inside this secret letter.

But Dekan felt that this simple piece of paper weighed a ton.

"..."

He suddenly had a strange sense of what Professor Arnold felt every time he opened the Beautiful Minds team report.

I don't want to watch it, but I have no choice but to.

Logically speaking...

We live in a peaceful and prosperous era.

Lei shouldn't be able to pull off any truly incredible plays.

This guy isn't the type to deliberately destroy an eighth or ninth-tier shadow world.

In terms of adhering to principles, DeCamby trusted Clay more than anyone else.

So, it's no big deal, open this letter!

"Teacher, why are your hands shaking when you open the envelope? Are you too tired? I told you you should rest more."

Eve also curiously leaned over to stare at the envelope that Dekan was opening.

She had stopped working at some point and ran over to Dekan and Talomatti, where she overheard their conversation.

In her memory, the teacher seemed to like that Holy Kingdom spy very much, but was also somewhat unable to handle him.

Back in the Kran territory on the northern border of the Holy Kingdom, it was the first time Eve had ever seen a human who could confuse her teacher.

"It's okay, I'm not tired at all, and my hands aren't shaking at all."

Dekan forced a smile as he answered.

He then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Actually, if you calm down and think about it carefully, you've spent so much time with Clay, whether in the Holy Kingdom era or the present world, and Clay has already caused enough trouble.

As someone who has witnessed every single one of Clay's actions, even if Dekan uses his brain's computing power to the extreme, he really can't imagine what new tricks Clay could come up with.

There's nothing to be afraid of at all; Clay has undoubtedly run out of ideas!

"Sa."

As if he had convinced himself, Dekan resolutely pulled out the letter.

However, the next second.

Dekan's pupils froze, and Eve's mouth formed an "o" shape.

"what happened?"

Talomatti, standing opposite him, frowned slightly and asked.

She didn't see the contents of the letter immediately.

But she didn't really care what was written on the paper.

To her surprise, her brother reacted.

It's rare to see Deloitte with this expression.

"..."

Dekan slowly lowered his head without saying a word.

He handed the letter to Talomatti as if he had no strength left.

Talomati glanced at Dekan again, his questioning gaze shifting slightly downwards, where he saw the words written on the letter:

[Ray's assassination attempt on Holy Emperor Lunen failed; Holy Emperor Lunen was seriously injured, and Ray is about to be executed by the Holy Kingdom's Inquisition.]

Talomatti put down the letter.

The brother and sister looked at each other.

A thousand words seemed insufficient to express what they wanted to say, and silence was the only response they could give.

Lei didn't come up with anything new.

But he won twice.

"Stop, A Lei... I've run out of ideas..."

Dekan was now so distraught that he wanted to cover his head with his hands and was in a state of confusion and hysteria.

I'm begging you, please come up with something new! Stop thinking about your assassination of the emperor and your imprisonment!

Originally, this timeline was already set to start as an old-school shonen anime, but then Morpes got sick, and Lenn was traded one-for-one with Ray. Now one is seriously injured and the other is in prison; both of the strongest fighters have fallen.

Dekan's sense of security in the ninth-tier shadow world of the Holy Kingdom and the Demon Realm largely came from his father, the invincible Dharma King, Lunen.

With Lenn around, Dekan could quickly see several paths to victory, no matter what kind of enemy they faced.

Now Dekan finds that his only top enforcer is Talomatti again.

However, the younger version of Talomaty is at most at the level of Sheen, and in this timeline, it is impossible for him to confront the Chaos God head-on.

Dekan felt increasingly dizzy as he thought about it. Teammates come and go, but Talomatti remains a constant. If it weren't for his sister, he would have felt that life was not worth living.

"Brother, do you... need to rest for a while?"

Talomatti unconsciously raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to help Dekan up.
