Chapter 1861 The Scary Guess of the Funder Behind the Scenes
At the same time, the interrogation and investigation of Cerrillo have also had a preliminary result.

The voice of Ogus was extremely dignified during the call, "Athos, you would never have guessed what we found, don't investigate the Mystic node for now, call Sergis to come and have a look!"

Although Ogus intends to be secretive, Xia Duo understands that, if nothing else happens, Ogus should have discovered the connection between Cerrillo and Colit.

In other words, Ogus and the others should have discovered the fact that Colit is a demon.

Xia Duo didn't delay, and immediately called Sergis to teleport back.

……

Go back to Genting Tower.

The place where Ogus asked Xia Duo to go during the interrogation also confirmed Xia Duo's guess. It was a heavily guarded magic prison under the Yunding Tower.

The guards took Xiaduo and Sergis outside the single room where Cerrillo was, and Ogus, Eye of Terror, and Katnidt, who was in charge of diplomatic matters, were all there.

Xia Duo immediately understood that if all goes well, the stalemate negotiations between Evereska and the Northland countries will probably open a gap from Uvelun.

After greeting each other, Xia Duo asked:

"Ogues, what did you find that made you lose your composure?"

"Of course it's about the guy in there!"

Ogus pointed to Cerrillo who was being placed in a distorted large font in the prison by the prison circle, his tone was slightly heavy and at the same time revealed a trace of disbelief:
"Yesterday Lacles found some information in this guy's residence. After repeated discussions with Ogus, it was confirmed that it was a simplified ritual spell intended to transform elves into demons.

"Of course, this spell is still in the stage of perfection. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the situation yesterday may not only be in the Golden Rose community, but in the entire Evereska!
"We investigated this guy's past whereabouts, and the most exaggerated thing is that not long ago, he just submitted an application to the Government Affairs Department to contract land to establish a herbal medicine planting base.

"If it wasn't for the Government Affairs Department's other plans for that piece of land, it might have been granted to him! Just thinking about it now makes me a little scared!"

"Building a herbal medicine base? Could it be that the spell to transform the demons is related to herbal medicine?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Related, but also irrelevant."

Ogus sighed and explained: "Cerillo first came to Evereska to settle down as a herbalist, which allowed him to gain the respect and trust of most residents of the Golden Rose community.

"Similarly, this also allows him to conduct some unconventional research without being reported by community residents because of a few suspicious points.

"If he is allowed to build a herbal medicine planting base, maybe he can affect more communities. In fact, the impact is already big enough now.

"Even though a large number of residents of the Golden Rose community witnessed the whole process of Cerrillo transforming into a demon yesterday, there are still many surviving residents pleading with the Government Affairs Office to let us release Cerrillo!"

At the end, Ogus's tone was extremely low. Thinking about the residents under his rule pleading for mercy for a criminal, this is simply slapping himself in the face!
"Is that all? Who is behind Serillo? And how does he usually get the herbs?"

Xia Duo once again raised his doubts, "An open herbalist in the community, who not only has to treat diseases for the community residents, but also studies ritual spells alone, can't go to the mountains to collect herbs in person, right? There must be someone silently supporting him behind the scenes!"

"You got the point! We thoroughly investigated all the social relations of Cerrillo after he entered Everesca. Guess what we found?"

"What did you find?"

"Furnas Chamber of Commerce! Although it is not a direct contact, we interrogated the middlemen who provided herbal medicine for Cerrillo, and they confessed that the Funas Chamber of Commerce is behind the investment!"

After finishing speaking, Ogus said meaningfully, "Do you know what this means?"

of course I know!

It's just that Xia Duo didn't expect that he originally planned to let Ogus discover the traces of Colet by investigating Cerillo's past whereabouts, but he obviously underestimated Colit's degree of caution.

Judging from what Ogus said, there is a high probability that he did not discover the connection between Colet and Cerrillo, but the Funas Chamber of Commerce has a lot to do with Cerrillo.

If it was in normal times, no one would care about this hidden relationship, but once the incident happened, all kinds of traces would not be able to be cleaned up in a short time.

At least there is no way to complete the clean-up work in a low-key manner without arousing suspicion from Evereska.

"Then Colit is also a demon descendant? Are you sure?"

"Just before I informed you, we have re-examined it specifically for the demons, and as expected, Colit is also a demon!"

Having said that, Ogus sighed again with a complicated expression. He glanced at Katnidt who was silent at the side, and continued:

"What I'm most worried about now is that the devil's plan to assassinate Uvelen's Intwa Crown King will have a huge impact on Evereska and even the entire Northland!

"Whether this incident is an internal conflict among the demonic forces, or their final battle to seize power, it is too heavy for us."

"This--"

Xia Duo was also a little hesitant. It would be terrible if the demons had completely infiltrated and controlled Uvelun. It's a pity that although Colit had a miraculous birth, his status within the demons was still not high enough. , the information learned is very limited.

Only based on Colit's memory that has not yet been fully assembled, Xia Duo cannot judge whether Uvelun has fallen into the hands of the demons.

Just thinking about the sudden destruction of Uvelun in the not-too-distant future, it is hard for him to say that there is no connection in it!

"Then what are you going to do now?"

Xia Duo knew that it might not be feasible to directly ask Uvilen for verification, because you can't be sure whether the target you found is a demon descendant, and even the crowned king of Intervar may not be reliable.

"Sai'an has already gone to the Elf Court, the elders should not have any problems, and there should be a proper solution."

What Ogus didn't say is that if the elders also have problems, it would be a disaster for Evereska, a proper reality version of "the clown is myself".

……

In the next few days, the Council of Elders has been waiting for news from the Elven Court, but Xia Duo and Sergis have not stopped their work of investigating the old Mystic node.

Even because the future situation has become more uncertain, the time for them to go to the Wild Vine Valley to study the new mythos has been greatly shortened.

According to Ogus, if it is determined that Uvelun has been infiltrated by the demons, then Evereska will consider the need for forced independence.

At that time, removing the old fanlock will become the top priority. As for the new fanlock, you can temporarily replace it with a basic protective fanlock.
