"want!"
"Okay, Arthur, do it!"
"Eh?"
After the trick was successful, Tacheng Heige turned around and shouted at Arthur, but Arthur just stared blankly at Tacheng Heige and the fooled Delta in front of him, as if he couldn't believe that things would end so easily.
No matter how powerful you are, if you don't have enough wisdom, you will be fooled.
Seeing what Arthur was thinking, Tacheng Heige sneered disdainfully. Of course, this method usually didn't work on Delta because her intuition was too strong.
"No! Delta won't allow it!"
Hearing the key words, Delta subconsciously shouted to stop Arthur, but Tajo Heige stopped Delta with just one sentence.
"Why not? Delta, aren't you a qualified leader..."
“Ah… this, this…”
Under the gaze of Tacheng Heige, Delta stammered and opened his mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't think of what to say. In the end, he could only turn his head and look at Sid with grievance.
"Sid, what should I do? This is not mentioned in what you taught me. Delta wants to be a qualified boss..."
Delta, I don't know if you are a qualified boss, but you are definitely a qualified dog since your brain is overloaded after being fooled for a few words. I shouldn't have believed in your IQ.
Once again, Delta attracted the attention of the entire audience. Facing everyone's gaze, Sid knew that he could not escape this time. He really needed to explain the fact that he knew Wally and Delta. After thinking for a while, he spoke.
Come on, Sid, think about how you're going to speak now that you're in Shadow State
"Let's all sit down and talk it over. I dare say this is all a misunderstanding."
"Yeah, yeah, Delta listens to Sid."
The first person to respond was naturally Delta. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Delta nodded in agreement with Sid's suggestion, but no one else nodded in agreement with Sid...
"I think what Mr. Sid said makes some sense. We should really have a good chat. Maybe Mr. Sid is right."
He adjusted his collar a little stiffly and was the second one to agree.
"I, I, I have no objection either."
After Vali was killed, the thing in his body that was constantly absorbing power disappeared, and Serafla was finally able to stand up.
"Well... after all, he's someone she values, so I agree. Let's sit down and have a good chat."
With the idea that "someone that the Infinite Dragon God values cannot have bad character", Wally and Monkey King agreed to Sid's proposal.
"Okay, I trust my players."
Helped up by the church warriors, Dulio thought about the fact that Cid knew Xenovia and Shido Irina, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately agreed.
In the blink of an eye, seeing that almost everyone agreed with the idea of peace talks, even his sister Le Fay was looking at him expectantly, Arthur hesitated for a while and finally put down his weapon.
"I'll trust you once! If we can't find the murderer, we'll keep going!"
Sid was not at all surprised by this situation. Well, when he found that he seemed to have some connections on both sides, he came up with the idea of mediating.
Of course, it's called reconciliation, but if he can't solve Arthur's problem, Arthur will probably still explode. But there's no need to worry about that, he has the confidence that he can reconcile successfully.
As a person related to the three parties and the one who personally beat up Vali, he has an advantage that no one else can match - he knows everything.
He didn't know what happened to Yuto Kiba and Shirou Keimoto, and he didn't know who was behind the scenes, but after collecting his memories and analyzing the reliable information told to him by others, he successfully discovered a blind spot.
He had to brag about himself, he felt that he still had a little bit of intelligence, as it only took him a few minutes to find the loophole. Of course, he had to thank Shirley for her help, without Shirley he would not be able to improve himself.
The only problem was that he seemed a little too conspicuous now, but there was no way he could really watch Rias and the others being killed.
Never mind. He was already eye-catching enough now, and it wouldn't make any difference if he became more eye-catching. I could just find a random excuse to get away with it afterwards.
"Of course, as long as you are not lying, we will definitely find the murderer, but before that, we need to treat them first."
Pointing at Rias and the others confidently, Cid stared at Arthur quietly.
Arthur nodded, and Le Fay flew over to treat everyone, and finally looked at Sid with gratitude.
Chapter 222: Filtering the clues to find the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes
How did things develop like this? Why did I inexplicably become the center of events? Is this an inevitable challenge in the process of playing a supporting role?
"Mr. Sid, could you please get me that potion?"
"Okay, that's it, right?"
He casually picked up the potion beside him and handed it to Le Fay, who was constantly using healing magic to treat the church warriors. Inadvertently, Sid and Le Fay's hands touched each other.
"Snapped!"
Almost as a subconscious reaction, Le Fay grabbed Sid's wrist with his backhand.
"Um...what are you doing?"
After a pause, Sid looked at the stunned Le Fay and asked.
"…Sorry, I got the wrong one."
With a blush on his face, Le Fay smiled embarrassedly, took the potion from Sid's hand, and turned around to continue treating the church warriors.
"baffling."
Sid muttered something but didn't care. After all, from time to time in this world, there are people who suddenly go crazy and do inexplicable things. When he heard the voice from the other side, he responded and put the matter behind him.
Le Fay acted as if it was just an accident and continued to treat the church warriors with various potions and healing magics, but from her eyes that kept flashing with thought, it could be seen that things were not that simple.
Was that just... an illusion?
Recalling the patterns he felt during the brief contact with Sid just now, Le Fay fell into deep thought.
It turns out that modern warriors and mages are not like the inherent impression that warriors are dressed in heavy armor and mages are dressed in robes. However, after a long time, a warrior or a mage's profession will indeed leave some traces on them.
Warriors usually carve certain features into their flesh during long battles based on their combat habits and weapon usage, to help form muscle memory for use in combat.
Warlocks will also leave unique patterns on their spells over a long period of time, based on how they use their magic power and the magic they use most often. This is the human body's ability to adaptively adjust over the long years.
There is no doubt that in the touch just now, Le Fay felt the characteristics of a warrior and the patterns of a warlock... Is that really something a warlock can achieve?
If it was just an ordinary trace of a warlock, Na Le Fei would naturally not care. After all, as long as there was magic power in the body, there was a basis for its use. It was normal for a warrior to know a few spells, and it was even possible to practice both physics and magic.
But the "ritual" lines that were mixed in with Sid's warrior features were definitely not normal lines. It might be Le Fay's illusion. She always felt that the lines were like the power of "rules" that she had to use magic with great effort to feel.
Authority, power, spirits, laws, nature, origin, source, world, Tao... various forces call him by different names. The power of this world has many paths, such as water, earth, fire, wind and so on. It is these "rules" that constitute the current world, and they are the end point pursued by all warlocks.
To give the simplest example, Rias's family, the Gremory family, has the destructive magic power running in their blood, which is the power of "destruction". This is also a kind of world power, and sorcerers use various spells to imitate and control this power.
Of course, people cannot be generalized, just like Rias and her brother Sirzechs both have destructive magic power, but who would think that Rias and her brother pose the same level of threat.
It was in this situation that Le Fei would wonder if she had sensed it wrongly, and that she could carve the patterns of the law on the flesh...
Let’s put it this way, the divine weapon made from the body of the second celestial dragon in ancient times has become one of the thirteen divine destroyers today.
So... I must have sensed it wrongly. How could a human being have lines of several laws on his body?
With a slight smile on his lips, Le Fay denied the outrageous speculation about the several "core" traces, and just regarded it as his own illusion.
At this moment, Sid, unaware that he was almost exposed at just one encounter, took a deep breath and opened the door in front of him with the idea of challenging as a supporting role.
At the huge negotiation table are Seraflor, Dulio, Delta and others who can be divided into three or two forces.
Judging from their positions, they were divided into three distinct forces, but the distance between Dulio and Vali was closer than that between the demons.
This is normal. It can be seen from the fact that the church warriors outside have been treated to a certain level of combat capability and the demons are only injured and dead that Arthur and Dulio don't mind fighting the demons later.
The reason for joining forces is very simple. The two sides have a "common" enemy, and the relationship between Arthur and Le Fay serves as a buffer. It is impossible for Dulio to choose to support the devil at this juncture.
"Sid, you're finally here!"
As soon as the door was opened, Delta, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped onto Sid and kept rubbing Sid's face.
Feeling the strange gazes from the people in front of him, Sid sighed inwardly and patted Delta's head to signal her to get down by herself. It had come to this point and there was no way to clear himself, so he might as well show his relationship with Delta openly, at least people wouldn't make too many associations.
"Sid, what is all this about..."
Rias, who was standing behind Serafla, still had a confused and unbelievable expression on her face. She was really shocked that her lover knew so many people.
"I can only say that when I first met them, I didn't know their identities. I just knew them as friends. I even only met Wally once."
"But I have a deep impression of you, and your character is fine. Plus, you have done me a favor, so I don't mind having you as a friend."
Sitting on a chair and applying medicine to the exploded wounds on his body, Wally smiled and replied when he heard Sid's words, and also made a gesture.
So, I'm not that familiar with you, why are you so close to me for no apparent reason?
"Okay, Wally, let me talk to him. We don't have much time."
Arthur stopped Wally and Sid from chatting, and looked at Sid with a slightly ugly expression.
Indeed, although Nangong Nayue had the relationship to explain to the officials of Genshin Island, Nangong Nayue was also very clear that Genshin Island could not stop Wally and his group from making trouble, but the top leaders of Genshin Island could not stop them from going crazy, and with their identity as the Disaster Group, they would definitely be hunted down.
"Okay, okay, so how about we confirm your request first?"
Feeling the atmosphere around him begin to change, Sid also became serious.
"Yes, my request is very simple. Hand over Kiba Yuto, Shirou Kagimoto and the mastermind, and return my King's Sword to me."
"OK, so Lady Seraphlu, how do you respond?"
Turning his attention to Serafla, there was no way he could keep his supporting role this time, so he needed to reduce his presence as much as possible to make it easier for him to calm down the aftermath afterwards.
"We can agree to your request, but the problem is that we really don't know about this matter. Kiba Yuto and Keimoto Shirou have lost contact now, and we can't contact them at all."
Seraful said distressedly, knowing that her explanation would not satisfy Arthur. After all... she was not involved and she did not believe it!
"Snapped!"
Arthur slammed the table hard and almost drew the Holy King Sword.
"Then we don't need to say anything..."
"Wait, Sagi and Kiba have lost contact, but we may know some other clues."
"Ok?"
He urgently interrupted Arthur's attack and, in front of everyone, Zhiqu Cangna looked at Delta standing aside.
"The men who attacked me and Rias the night before yesterday were Shadow's men. Miss Delta, can you tell us what your boss's purpose is? Or who else besides Shadow was involved in this incident?"
"Hmm?"
Vali and his companions were stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but then they were relieved. They were curious about Delta's origins in the first place, and the fact that someone of this strength had no fame or background was a problem.
"Eh?"
Delta, who was eating something while being watched by everyone, looked up with a confused look on his face.
"That's right, Captain Delta. Although I'm surprised to know your true identity now, please say a few words."
"Um……"
Pursing his lips and supporting his chin with one hand to think for a few seconds, Delta straightened his back and spoke confidently.
"Delta doesn't know!"
"you……"
Serafla was so angry that she almost blurted out something. She stared straight at Delta. If they were not at a disadvantage, she would have forced Delta to confess.
This is the only clue that can prove their innocence as demons. If they cannot prove their innocence, after hearing Arthur's narration, she has no doubt that Arthur, who has experienced the triple blow of having the sword of the king taken away, becoming a burden to his sister, and being a hindrance that led to Le Fay being kidnapped, would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
There was no hope for the church. Emotionally, the church wanted them demons to die. What's more, the church warriors originally thought that they were the demons who planned this incident. Rationally, no matter how ignorant they were, Arthur didn't mind killing the church warriors as well. After all, they had already helped once, and no one could morally condemn them.
"The Boss wants Delta to kill you all, so Delta went hunting you."
With his hands on his hips, Delta spoke with pride.
"Well, Delta doesn't know anything about this, what else do you demons have to say?"
Arthur raised the Holy King Sword in his hand and pointed it at Seraflare. Seraflare instinctively gathered her magic power and gathered ice in her hand. Almost in the next second, the two sides were about to start fighting.
"Calm down, don't start a fight over a disagreement. We can talk slowly."
Sid tried to stop the fight again. Arthur looked at Sid and was silent for a moment, but still chose to put down the sword.
"I believe you once."
"I know you don't believe it, but it is true as Lady Seraflu said. We have lost the trace of Yuto and the others..."
When Sid said this, Arthur's face showed a little strangeness, but in the end he did not choose to explode and fight the devil like before.
"But think about it from another angle. This wasn't done by the devil. The missing Kiba and his men are basically with the mastermind. So as long as we find the mastermind, all your requests will be fulfilled..."
