The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 701 - 383: The Bloodline of the Demon

"Pardon my directness, do you know the history of your race?"

Kana asked directly.

"What?" Terkel frowned slightly, looking puzzled. What sort of question was this?

"Of course I do."

However, he just answered like that, without the intention of narrating his family history to everyone.

His vigilance showed no sign of diminishing.

Kana looked at him and knowingly nodded.

"You don't need to be so on guard, look at me. Compared to a complete stranger, perhaps my words should be trusted a bit more?"

Kana waved his demon claw.

"Yes." Terkel nodded, but said, "If not for that, I would have already chased you all out."

"You're quite a good person." Miguel West commented sarcastically.

Then he received everyone's stares present.

He silently reached out his hand, making a motion of sealing across his mouth, indicating he would say no more.

"Then I'll be blunt, how do you think the Demon's Blood in your body came from?"

Kana asked.

But Terkel's wariness remained strong, showing no intention to answer.

"Then let me say what you're thinking; you surely believe that the demon's blood in your body was a curse brought upon by your ancestors battling demons?"

Upon realizing that Kana indeed understood, Terkel no longer remained silent.

"Isn't it?"

The others around the table could no longer hold back.

Bobo was the first to ask, "So what are you talking about? Mind explaining to us?"

They knew that the purpose of coming here was to find a certain hidden race here.

However, Kana had not explained the specifics of the race to them.

Terkel sighed a bit reluctantly, spreading his hands.

"Alright, the race hidden deep in this forest is just like me."

He said as he extended one arm from his robe. Other than the grayish-white skin, there was nothing seemingly special.

Yet, all this was an illusion.

His hand lightly waved, and the pale skin instantly melted away, revealing the true limb beneath.

The grayish-white skin became rough and full of texture, resembling tree bark.

Evil magic power was adhering and flowing upon it.

It was a demon's limb, not human.

"We have been cursed by the Abyss, eternally flowing with Demon's Blood inside, so intense that it even showcases externally, making some of our limbs appear demonic."

Just as he demonstrated.

Alyris evaluated, "A bloodline more concentrated than Lurik's."

"You have similar ones too?" Terkel asked, a bit curious.

He could hardly not be curious.

After all, in their long-standing beliefs, they considered themselves isolated and abandoned, a race meant to hide.

But listening to this group in front of them, it seemed there were other clans with situations like theirs.

Kana nodded.

"Within our Night Watchers, there is a group of Dwarves whose ancestors executed a transaction with demons. Although they detected danger eventually, paying the price in blood and driving the demons out, the demon's lineage remained within their bodies.

It's just that the concentration of the lineage isn't as intense as yours, thus not manifesting externally."

But this is actually the crux of the matter.

"Really, then they are quite lucky." Terkel said somewhat coldly.

Through this simple exchange, Kana suddenly felt he should change his approach.

He thought for a moment.

Simply said, "I'll be straightforward, I'm here because I want your power; I wish for you to join the Night Watchers.

Don't rush to say anything yet. As a Gatekeeper and a Demon Scholar, you should be aware of your tribe's crisis.

In recent years, the concentration of the bloodline in your bodies has been continuously increasing, cases of tribesmen going mad have been escalating.

Even whispers have been sounding in your ears from time to time, haven't you been unable to repress them?

Yet unable to resist, while I can help resolve this issue and dispel the fog in your hearts."

As Kana spoke, Terkel's expression became more and more horrified.

He was terrified at how detailed Kana knew the situation.

Holding the Wooden Scepter in his hand, he even contemplated taking action.

Yet he might not know one thing.

That is, those present here are far more powerful than he imagined.

Perhaps spurred by the crisis, the Little Bell outside sensed danger, already approaching the doorway.

Perhaps due to its desire to protect its master, along with its own free will, it was already intending to initiate an attack.

However, just as that three-headed hound had barely approached the door, Miguel West had vanished from where he was standing, onto one of the dog's heads, completely pinning it to the ground, unable to move.

Inside the room.

was already unsheathed.

Just like that, it floated in front of Terkel, the freezing Power unabashedly spreading.

This made Terkel realize that the group before him was far stronger.

The so-called seeing through one's strength, knowing the opponent's capability greatness is based on both parties having a certain understanding.

Not everyone can be like the Night Watchers, able to estimate an enemy's strength range with a mere blink of an eye.

"Like I said, I could completely use forceful means, but I don't want to do that.

The world is on the brink, and I need every unity of strength there is, so I came here.

I'll help you first, then you help yourselves, help the world.

It's fair, isn't it?"

To reinforce his words. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Kana added, "The barrier hiding your home means nothing to me, I know how to enter it."

Could it not be known?

Clearly, this area was once a very important mission area in past games.

Highly relevant to version 3.0.

Knowing how to enter, the surrounding missions, related clan history, Kana was thoroughly clear.

Then Kana delivered the final deciding words.

"Your granddaughter, her bloodline concentration is very high, isn't it? If there's no solution, the future... No, she will have no future."

At this, Terkel truly couldn't hold it together anymore.

Without hesitation, he asked, "You know how to save her? You can save her, right?"

"Did he not listen to a word earlier?" Miguel West quipped.

Saying so, he even nudged the dog head below that was struggling a bit.

"Yes, I know and I have a way. Now I've shown my goodwill; it's your turn."

Saying this, Kana glanced in a certain direction.

Terkel fully submitted, nodded his head.

He wiggled his fingers.

In one corner of the room, a dark creature crawled out, entirely black, like a ball of energy glow.

"Go, return, and honestly report everything that happened here to the Tower Master."

The dark creature nodded and disappeared.
