Then the heroes discovered that they had actually been sitting on the street for a few days and were able to understand the demons' speech.
You're unlikely to mishear sentences that you hear repeatedly in a scene.
Of course, they still won't understand those things that are almost never heard in the scene, and that's when it's time to change the scene.
During this time, the four members of the Saintess Squad wandered around outside every day, as if they were looking for something.
Logically speaking, as heroes who infiltrated the demon realm, they should have found a proper place to hide.
However, An Yi made the opposite decision, taking a high-magic unit like Lycorina around the city, which attracted quite a bit of attention.
An Yi had explained this matter in advance at the meeting two days prior.
"Putting aside our learning of the demon language, why are the members of the Saintess Squad moving around the city and attracting the demons' attention?" the Halberd Warrior asked, puzzled.
An Yi's explanation was;
"In order to conceal our true purpose."
To the demons of this city, some of our heroes are considered to be of a rather high rank.
Our arrival in this city and our stay of several days indicates that it's not just a simple passing through.
It's strange in itself that we spend every day on different streets in the city; perhaps the lord of this city has already noticed us.
The other party doesn't dare to provoke us, but if we arouse too much suspicion, they will take the initiative to come to our door and question us to a certain extent.
After all, the other party is the master of this city.
"But if the four of us wander around the city, our true purpose becomes very simple..."
Clearly, we're looking for someone in this city.
Blue, the Hero of the Sky, immediately understood what An Yi meant: "I see, as expected of the Hero of the Sword."
In the lord's view, anyone who could rival the 'demons' of our level must be a powerful figure he couldn't afford to offend.
If he rashly steps forward to help us, there is a risk of retaliation from the other side.
So all he had to do was pretend he knew nothing.
As long as they refuse to see us, they can just keep dragging things out until we can't find them and they leave.
The heroes were all amazed.
And this kind of operation? !
Yes, that directly solves the problem of them being too conspicuous in the city.
The reason why you can't meet with the lord of this place is actually quite simple.
because……
None of them speak the demon language!
Apart from the Saintess's team, who had entered the demon territory early on, the others would definitely stammer and be unable to answer when questioned.
At most, they would greet you with something like "Hello" or "Have you eaten?" The rest of their greetings were just the kind of language you'd use in a shopping mall or farmers' market.
If they start talking nonsense, the level of suspicion will increase several times over.
To avoid trouble, we must first make the lords feel that they are troublesome people that no one can touch.
Time flies, and a week was spent learning the demon language.
Besides listening to the demons speak, the group even learned some of the demons' language.
They never expected that the demons would have a place to sell books, and that they could read them without buying them, and that there were also picture books that could help them learn to read.
To prevent the heroes from crowding into the children's section of the bookstore and disrupting their original disguise, Annie still had Miluko "pick up" some books.
Return it after you've finished reading it.
At first, Milu was unwilling; after all, stealing was still stealing, even from demons.
But Annie told her.
None of the people who entered the demon city had any money.
If I don't steal books, I can only steal money. (5)
You can return stolen books, but stealing money is like entering another abyss!
Milu thought to herself, if she stole the money and spent it, she would never be able to pay it back.
If you want to pay it back, you have to steal more money, which is endless and you can't stop stealing once you start!
If you steal a book and put it back, that's considered borrowing! You can still put it back!
So Milu compromised.
On one hand, An Yi was thinking that she had corrupted the little girl, but on the other hand, she felt that everyone's moral standards were a bit too high.
If we don't use some underhanded tactics now, we'll waste everyone's time and affect the progress of the entire operation.
If children don't learn to speak and read early on, they will inevitably have difficulty moving around in the future.
Just like back in the Sword Demon City, if no one could speak or read, how could they know about Irene and make plans in advance?
In my previous life, the operation in the Sword Demon City was launched without any intelligence, which led to Hilo's death and the collapse of the entire team.
Today, Milu and a group of agile warriors left the demon city and headed to the supply station in the ruined city to obtain supplies and report what they had seen and heard.
Apart from Miluko, none of the five teams are traditionally considered high-agility heroes; they are simply the best of the best, chosen for their "relatively" agility.
Aside from the heroes who went to obtain supplies, the other heroes continued to learn writing and language.
Their temporary residence was in an abandoned house outside the city, and the remaining three members of the Saintess Squad continued their search for people.
“We’ll split up today,” Annie suddenly said.
"Oh? Is there any progress in our search?" Lycorina asked with a smile.
She wasn't stupid; a sudden change inevitably meant another round of disguise.
Si'an nodded: "Yes, we've been traveling to different places these days, but we haven't had much contact with other teams."
This time we'll split up, wander around the city for a while, and then rendezvous with different squads.
Secondly, if the lord of this place is watching us, he will surely notice that our numbers have decreased...
Four-Leighton seemed to have figured something out and exclaimed excitedly, "So we're going to other squads to fill the gaps?!"
"No, we should pretend to be preparing to close the net and conduct a final intelligence exchange."
"Those people from the Third Young Master's group, in the other party's view, may have been killed, or gone into hiding to carry out secret operations," An Yi explained.
Layton scratched his head awkwardly: "Ah... okay, shall we go now?"
"Let's go, there's nothing to wait for."
You go find the Fighting Heroes Squad, Her Highness the Saintess goes find the Sky Heroes Squad, and I'll go find the Halberd Heroes and the others.
"You all know the locations of the other squads, so I won't go into detail," Annie asked.
Lycorina: "Understood!"
Layton: "Yeah! Me too!"
“Let’s go then,” Annie said.
Soon, the three of them left their temporary residence from different directions.
But the other two didn't notice that An Yi turned back after walking for less than five minutes.
Standing at the empty table in the hall, he said calmly;
"Are you going to come out by yourself, or put your hair up?"
That way, I can guarantee that I'll keep your long hair after I cut off your head.
Boom!
A muffled thud came from a doorless room at the back of the hall. A young girl, who looked quite young, crawled on all fours at an incredible speed and stopped a meter away from An Yi.
She knelt down, her upper body bent, and cried out in panic;
"Please, please, Sword Master, spare my life! Don't kill me!!"
Chapter 149 The Terrified Little Succubus
"My name is Becky, I'm fifteen years old, and I'll soon be at the age where I need to feed. If possible, I'd like to fall into a desperate situation while protecting the future of succubi, and then be rescued by a handsome human hero, and finally obtain the first magical power in the life of a succubus."
but……
If nothing unexpected happens, I'm probably going to die by now.
Having figured out the patterns of the Sword Master and his companions' movements, they come here regularly every day to collect reports.
Judging from the movements of the heroes over the past few days, they seem to be searching for something in an area densely populated by demons.
However, after entering the place where the heroes lived, I found a picture book in the demon language that even a three-year-old demon could understand, as well as a large number of children's books.
I think I've discovered the secret of the heroes.
them……
They are looking for a demon child!
Such a grand gesture must mean the child is very important.
I was considering whether to step in and offer assistance, but it was all too late.
The Sword Master discovered my infiltration; this is a highly offensive act.
If nothing unexpected happens, I will lose my life because of this serious offense.
Goodbye, my destined hero, goodbye, world…
Becky, kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to breathe, because Annie knew of her presence even before she had seen her face.
They even knew she had long hair!
In the face of such a powerful being, one's life or death is in the hands of the other's single thought!
An Yi looked at the succubus girl, dressed in simple clothes, kneeling on the ground trembling, her eyelids narrowed slightly, and then her gaze returned to its usual calm.
He had never had any contact with Mel since their first meeting and subsequent parting.
