But traces of the other party appeared before his eyes more than once.
The first time was brought by Mi Baluke, and the second time was even learned from Master Liu. (Three + ←′≤Four〕＜er→¨)
Through this almost insignificant information, An Yi understood one thing.
That is, Mel built a sizable organization in a corner he had no idea about.
The other party seemed to regard him as their master.
The words "Sword Master" and the succubus before him made it hard for him not to think of Mel, whom he had only met once.
Originally, his purpose was simply to conceal the actions of the heroes, but he never expected to encounter the succubus under Mel's command here.
The Empire of Hope is located more than half of human territory away from where Mel last appeared.
The other side has already extended its reach to such distant border cities?
As for why they knew about the succubus's existence and deliberately had the group split up, it's actually quite simple...
Because... this place retains a "succubus scent".
Others couldn't smell it; a house that hadn't been lived in for a long time naturally had an indescribable odor. Even if a brave warrior with a keen sense of smell noticed the change in smell, he subconsciously didn't pay any attention to it.
But An Yi was too familiar with the scent of demons, and the moment she noticed the change in smell, she realized that a succubus had been in the house.
As for the length of the hair... there are naturally more succubi with long hair for hairstyles than those with short hair, so it's not that hard to guess.
“Raise your head,” An Yi said calmly.
He wasn't an idiot; he didn't need to ask what "Sword Master" meant.
Of course, he wouldn't take it for granted that he was the master and put on airs.
The problem now is that the enemy has infiltrated this place and learned about the heroes' current situation.
An Yi needs to see the other party's response to determine whether to kill them to silence them.
If someone calls him "master," does he immediately trust them unconditionally?
So much time has passed, and the other party has grown their organization to this extent. With changes in their vision and power, their thoughts will inevitably change to some extent, no longer as they were before.
An Yi was extremely wary of a demonic organization she had never encountered before.
"No... I wouldn't dare! I only beg you, Sword Master, to spare my life! I'll crawl out of here!!" Becky cried out in panic.
An Yi: "Lift your head up, or your head will stay on the ground forever."
"Yes!" Becky straightened her back immediately, her head almost reaching her back, her face held high.
However, he kept staring at the ceiling, not daring to look at An Yi.
“Do you understand what we’re doing right now?” Annie asked.
"This...that...I'm not quite sure..."
Om-!
A flash of white light, a cool breeze brushed past Becky's face, and the silver blade stopped in front of her as she looked up.
Becky shuddered violently, so frightened that she couldn't even kneel properly and collapsed to the ground, instinctively shrinking her neck.
The next moment, she felt a warm liquid slide down her face.
Looking down, bright red blood dripped down from below her line of sight, staining her clothes.
Hot tears immediately filled Becky's eyes, blurring her vision. An overwhelming sense of fear surged into her brain, leaving it blank with a buzzing sound.
"Trying to get away with this? Then you can just keep getting away with this for the rest of your life." An Yi looked expressionlessly at the terrified little succubus.
The other person had a human face and looked pitifully frightened, but he felt no pity or heartache, because he had already chopped off such beautiful heads countless times.
"I...I'm sorry! Sword Master, I'll tell you...I'll tell you everything!"
Becky fought back her tears, pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and knelt down properly.
She had no doubt that An Yi would kill her.
If you cry, then everything will go black and you'll have to keep crying in your mother's arms in your next life.
"Please believe me, Sword Master. I have no ill intentions. I am just curious about what you are doing and hope to be of help."
My esteemed heroes have not concealed their magical powers, so I discovered their presence on the second day after entering the city.
From the moment I saw the Holy Maiden, I knew you were the Sword Master.
Based on what I've observed over the past few days, it seems that you brave adventurers are searching for something when you enter this city.
Having figured out the travel patterns of all the brave heroes, I began to infiltrate this place, attempting to investigate the clues they left behind, and then provide assistance based on those clues.
I found many books for demon children here, so I conclude that you brave warriors must be looking for an unknown number of children.
And then today... the Sword Master discovered it.
I am very sorry that I sneaked in here and offended you.
Becky knew this would cost her her life, but she still chose the inappropriate course of action. Whether she lives or dies, it's all...it's all up to the Sword Master to decide...!
She has nothing to say about it. Whether she regrets it or not, whether she is willing or not, life and death are in An Yi's hands.
An Yi's calm expression remained unchanged throughout. Hearing the words fall, he spoke without emotion:
"How much of what you reported about us?"
he asks.
Chapter 150 You Know Too Much
Based on the other party's description, they obtained incorrect information.
The other party's misunderstanding also proved that An'i's strategy was effective, and so far there is no problem.
However, succubi are very intelligent demons.
Their base intelligence of 10 points is their most powerful "weapon" for survival when they encounter enemies stronger than themselves.
Just like the succubus that Irene encountered, even when she was terrified, even when she knew she couldn't resist, even when she was in dire straits, she would use her intelligence to fight for a way to survive.
In short, what the succubus says could be true or false.
Whether it's the truth or a lie, the other party is only trying to save their own life.
However, Annie's question was not entirely meaningless...
“How much of what happened to us did you report?” Annie asked.
“It hasn’t been reported yet!” Becky hurriedly replied. “Our intelligence is transmitted via mail at fixed times.”
The letter was carried and transported by the winged people who had cooperated with us; they are orcs, not demons.
As if to reassure Annie, Becky specifically mentioned that there were orcs helping in the organization.
"Winged people? What kind of beastmen are those?" An Yi feigned confusion.
Before An Yi could even ask any further questions, the other person had already revealed some useful information, which was the reason for asking the question. Part Two
[Winged Human Race] Blame
This is a highly agile orc race that lives in an area very close to the borders of the demon race. Death.
There are no demons here who can keep up with their speed, so they live in the demon borderlands by concealing their scent.
This refers to the woman with feathers and wings that Miluko saw next to Mel.
At the time, Miluko was unaware that her Pokédex was not responding at all.
Because they were orcs, not demons, they wouldn't be included in the demon encyclopedia. (Noon)
The information here matches what An'i already knew, so the little succubus in front of her wasn't lying.
Hearing Annie's question, Becky excitedly said;
"Yes! They are winged, very fast orcs! If you, Sword Master, wish to meet them, I can take you there!"
"No need." (Suo)
An Yi refused calmly, then a flash of white light appeared in her hand, and the longsword transformed into a short sword. Q
He flung the dagger in front of Becky; it clattered into the ground, trembling slightly, which startled Becky, making her shoulders jump.
“You know too much, now die,” Annie said.
"Huh...?" Becky stared at the short sword on the ground, then looked up at Annie.
Those calm eyes held no emotion, no anger, no blame; they simply gazed at her silently.
But Becky felt as if a sword had pierced straight into her heart, penetrating it completely.
Her mind went blank, and all she could hear was a throbbing buzzing in her ears.
Unable to think, she picked up the somewhat heavy short sword from the ground with trembling hands.
Becky's breathing went from heavy to rapid, and sweat with a distinctive odor trickled down her forehead. She came to her senses, but by then she already had the dagger in her hand.
Why? She didn't want to die.
Why did you still pick up the short sword?
Perhaps deep down, she had already realized that if she didn't pick up the sword, if she retreated, she would lose her head in the next moment.
Yes, I have offended the supreme sword master. I have acted presumptuously and trespassed into his territory.
An Yi could have simply died here without saying a word, leaving her unable to react.
Now, however, the other party has given her a chance to end things herself.
Isn't this the greatest act of mercy?
At least, she could give herself some time before she died, leaving behind some beautiful fantasies, instead of her succubus head falling to the ground the moment she went black.
Ah... I want to live...
Upon closer inspection, the Sword Master is so handsome...
Just watching the Sword Master die like that, doesn't seem so bad...?
Becky's tearful eyes lit up with heart-shaped marks, and she smiled happily.
Then, without hesitation, he raised his short sword and tilted his head back to stab himself in the neck—
