The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　This is actually not that hard to guess; it's nothing more than a substitution, a story of someone taking the place of another.

　By replacing the management of the Free City with special demon races such as "Phantom Demons," "Amiro Worms," ​​"Shape-shifting Demons," and "Brain-eating Demons," one can occupy this human city isolated in demon territory.

　If Number Two is indeed the Demon King and possesses complete memories, this is something it is very likely to do.

　However, the power of the Free City may be stronger than many people imagine, and Number Two's plans were ultimately leaked. But this may also become a catalyst for Number Two to accelerate his actions.

　……

　As for the question of "what will Number Two do after receiving Number One's distress signal",

　Put yourself in their shoes; Number Two doesn't know what Number One is, and it has a cognitive impairment.

　Number Two possesses complete memories; it knows it is the Demon King.

　Therefore, it is impossible for it to vaguely imagine that the other party is a comrade, just like Number One.

　After sensing an aura identical to their own from Number One, Number Two is more likely to feel doubt rather than to think that there is another version of themselves there.

　Therefore, the rapid approach of No. 1 may even have caused it to panic.

　But it is, after all, a demon king, and will not flee at the mere sight of him.

　Even the defeated should possess the spirit of a demon king.

　Therefore, its most likely purpose is to make thorough preparations to welcome the arrival of Unit 1.

　Whether it's good or bad that comes with Number One, it tries to make contact with it to at least gain a basic understanding.

　—All of this may change after Number One sends it a distress signal!

　Brilliance alone cannot feed you.

　The Demon King is, after all, the defeated one, and the current environment is very different from that of the past.

　If it wants to regroup and revive the demon race, it needs to be patient.

　Once they realize they are at a disadvantage, they will inevitably become suspicious.

　It will try to figure out whether Number One's distress call is a decoy.

　Even if it's not.

　If an individual with a similar aura is calling for help, its first thought is that the individual has been captured, and the person who captured that individual is also planning to capture it as well!

　Do such powerful beings exist?

　What didn't exist in the past may not exist now, but who knows?

　Therefore, it will escape.

　……

　The "immortal demon king" is not ashamed of running away.

　It called it a "tactical retreat".

　……

　However, things come full circle.

　Number Two has already invested heavily in the City of Freedom. If it chooses to flee, it will have to give up all the gains it has made over the past six months.

　To completely abandon a long-term plan without even knowing who the other party is—very few people can do that.

　"It will think, at least, that it needs to clearly see who the opponent is!"

　"Of course, it won't come looking for us on its own; it will send its minions to probe us."

　"As long as we don't choose to run away immediately, we have a chance to catch it."

　"Hurry! Execute it before it mobilizes its forces and causes large-scale damage abroad!"

　……

　The footsteps approached quickly, and Dark and the others paused their discussion.

　Aurora led Lord Montilfali through the door.

　City Lord Montilfali asked directly, "What happened?"

　The group exchanged glances, and Professor Sylph said, "Outside the West Gate, there is the leader of this remnant of the demon race. Be careful."

　City Lord Montilfarie's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

　“If you don’t want to go shopping in the city,” Professor Sylph said, “the remnants of the demon race who are infiltrating the management of the Free City are about to make their move.”

　However, with a wave of her hand, everyone stood up.

　Lord Montilfarie's heart skipped a beat. She quickly suppressed her doubts and asked, "What should I do?"

　Professor Sylph walked towards the door and said, "There are two points. First, send a message to investigate the West Gate and pay attention to the movements of the magical beasts. Second, convene the management team and eliminate the insects."

　City Lord Montilfali frowned sharply: "Can you do it?"

　Dak looked up and said, "Aunt Montilfaly, I'll do it."

　Lord Montilfarie gave him a deep look, then immediately turned to Aurora for confirmation.

　Aurora nodded vigorously.

　Lord Montilfali decisively replied, "Alright, I'll convene an emergency meeting immediately. Where should we hold it?"

　Dark glanced westward and said, "Let's go to West City. Start with the frontline management and work our way down."

　“No problem,” said City Lord Montilfarie. “There’s a meeting place in the west city, very close to the city gate. Should we send a city-wide alert?”

　Dark said, "After we've cleared out the bugs, let's try to avoid large-scale conflicts."

　Professor Sylph said, "I, Professor Pava, Lily, and Professor Harvey will go ahead first; we need to take the four dragons with us."

　Dark nodded and said, "Then let's leave the last one to Professor Mitis."

　Professor Mitya shook her head and said, "You guys take the spares. I have a vehicle. Also, Ophelia and Vittoria are with me; they'll shield their presence. Kallian will team up with Dark."

　Sister Kallian nodded and said, "No problem."

　The group talked as they walked, and in the blink of an eye, they left the room and hurried down the corridor.

　Once they were out of the corridor, the thirteen people immediately separated.

　Professor Sylph and her group of four headed to the plaza to board a flying dragon.

　Professor Mitia took off her hat, blew on it, and the pumpkin carriage pulled by the black beast flew out of the hat, swelling in the wind after landing.

　“Aurora, you’re with me. We need your identity,” Professor Mitia said with a smile.

　Aurora looked at Dark, who nodded to her. She responded and followed Professor Mitia into the carriage, which then flew westward into the city.

　In the blink of an eye, only three maids remained by Dak's side.

　He quickly ordered, "Angrey, go and bring the dragon here."

　When Angry brought the dragon, Tiger, a half-tiger man, also rushed over with a squad of city guards.

　……

Chapter 763 A Keen Eye (4k)

　So the group split into three groups.

　Professor Sylph and her three companions rode in dragons, disappeared after takeoff, and landed silently on the west gate half an hour later.

　Unable to determine which people in the city had been replaced by the demons, they chose to operate covertly, without even notifying the city guards of the west city.

　After landing, Professor Sylph drew a magic card and silently chanted, "In the name of Sarah Sylph, I summon—'Wind Realm'!"

　The large-scale area-of-effect magic that originally required a long preparation to cast was suddenly released centered on this "Wind Realm" field card.

　In that instant, a fierce gale suddenly swept across the world, then abruptly swirled back after spreading to a certain area. Both the sound of the wind and the aura were contained within a floating sphere, without any leakage.

　The four professors stood floating in the air, gazing out of the city. They saw that the west gate was half open, and people were still coming and going.

　Looking at the busy adventurer teams, Professor Sylph couldn't help but sigh, "If we can stabilize for a few more years, this Free City should be able to develop into a very prosperous place."

　Professor Jones stood at the front, arms crossed, his back as solid as a mountain, unyielding: "If today's events are not handled properly, they could be a catastrophe."

　Professor Sylph nodded and said, "You are protecting me, I need to listen to the wind."

　The other three nodded, but did not cast any spells or summon any magic cards.

　An excessive flow of magic will disrupt the sound of the wind; at this time, one only needs to gather strength.

　Professor Sylph stood in the middle of the line, her hands clasped together, her head slightly bowed, her eyes closed, as if she were a young girl in prayer.

　A moment later, pure wind elements quietly gathered, and a wind spirit leaped out of the air, flapping its wings and dancing a circle dance in front of her.

　A wisp of natural wind, carrying no magic whatsoever, quietly blew out of the "Wind Realm" and towards the outside of the city.

　That wisp of natural wind merged with nature, driving the winds of nature to blow in all directions. Countless pieces of information, guided by this natural wind, entered the mind of the wind spirit, and then, through the wind spirit, converged into Professor Sylph's mind.

　In a flash, countless images of the area several miles outside the city appeared in Professor Sylph's mind.

　A novice adventurer was chasing and chopping down the slow-moving "Iron Bark Trees" near the west gate.

　A cautious group of adventurers trudged through the dense forest, their backs bent low. A giant python, capable of changing color with its surroundings, coiled around a treetop, its chilling gaze fixed intently on them.

　Further afield, there are also more powerful adventurers who rely on teamwork to fight desperately against enormous monsters.

　"There is no trace of Number Two."

　Professor Sylph's brow furrowed slightly.

　The wind grew louder.

　In an instant, the sounds of flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects, fish, and countless other living and dead creatures all converged.

　Professor Sylph's magic surged into her mind, her thoughts suddenly accelerated, and she quickly analyzed all the information, trying to find the hidden foreign object within it.

　……

　On the other side, Professor Mitia rode up in a pumpkin carriage, but instead of heading to the west, she stopped in the center.

　She flicked her finger, and a magic card was already in her hand.

　As magic flowed in, the magic card was immediately activated, and countless crystal balls emerged from the card, then flew in all directions under her control.

　As these crystal balls flew out of the carriage, they gradually became invisible. Each crystal ball had a pupil in the center, which could see any scene within a radius of a kilometer.

　After dispersing all the crystal ball monitors, Professor Mitia steered the pumpkin carriage at high speed toward the West City government building.

　Ophelia sat inside the carriage, holding a red and green button "switch" in her hand, ready to call out Number One to ask Number Two for specific directions at any time.

　……

　而在城主府。

　Under the protection of Tiger, the city guard commander, Dak and his group of five boarded a carriage bound for the west city.

　Dragons flew overhead.

　The carriage was fairly spacious, comfortably accommodating three people and not cramped for five, but Dark also summoned another "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye".

　Tiger drove himself, and the journey was smooth and unimpeded.

　During this period, more and more city administrators, under the orders of the city lord, walked onto this avenue and converged from all directions.

　Both "goddesses with piercing eyes" had swept their bangs back, revealing a terrifying-looking third eye, looking to the left and right respectively.

　Their gazes penetrated the carriage, seeing everything inside and out.

　"found it!"

　Just three minutes into their journey, one of the "Goddesses of the Mind" discovered a person who had been replaced by a demon.

　"The third carriage from the left has a bull's head emblem," the "Goddess of the Mind" said calmly.

　Its sound was very soft, but thanks to the transmission of wind magic, it reached Tiger's ears with extreme clarity.

　The half-tiger immediately picked up a palm-sized rock and whispered rapidly into it.

　Two minutes later, the carriage suddenly turned and drove off the main road.

　What awaits him is the city guard waiting in the alley!

　……
