This villain, please exercise some restraint.

"You go in and tell Mian that I have news about temperance. By the way, ask him to call the priestess to wait for me."

Shi Si's dark eyes looked at the sword-wielding gatekeeper in front of him and replied.

The gatekeeper looked happy and immediately entered the Wulin League.

The other gatekeeper looked at him with a stern look that was somewhat softened by kindness.

At this moment, in the Wulin Alliance.

Mian, who was dealing with trivial matters in the palace, put down the paper in his hand and raised his head when he heard the guard's report.

He has heard a lot of similar news like this from "players" recently, but most of it is false news.

But even so, he was unwilling to miss every possible piece of news.

And this time, it seems to be true.

Because...the visitor from the "player" race mentioned the "priestess".

Before the gatekeeper finished speaking, he saw the leader of the alliance in front of him suddenly stood up and then disappeared.

When he teleported to the entrance of the Wulin Alliance, the empty space in front of him made his mood plummet.

"What about others?"

"Mian" clenched his fists hidden in his wide crimson sleeves and asked the guard on the side in a deep voice.

When the guard saw the sudden appearance of the alliance leader, he also looked puzzled. He scratched his head, but still replied respectfully.

"Lord Leader, that player was just taken away by you."

"Took away by me?"

"Mian" asked subconsciously, but received an affirmative answer from the guard.

"Yes, you also told him - if anything happens, just come to you directly, why bother bringing the priestess with you."

Having said this, the guard looked at the leader of the alliance in front of him, and then at the priestess who came out of the martial arts alliance after hearing the news, but hesitated to speak.

"Mian" immediately noticed that the guard had something to say, "What else did I say?"

he asked coldly.

The priestess looked at the empty surroundings and followed Mian's gaze to the guard.

"You...you also said that the priestess is a very troublesome woman. Instead of looking for her, it would be better to find someone who knows him more thoroughly...you."

The guard stared at the two eyes and repeated the words with difficulty.

"Then the player thought for a moment and followed you."

As soon as the guard finished speaking, he felt that the gaze of his leader became even colder. Only the gaze of the priestess remained soft.

"Mian, I believe this could not have been said by you."

The priestess spoke first and looked at the young man in red beside her. "The result is already quite clear. The person who was able to hide it from the guard's eyes just now is an impostor."

"And if I guess correctly, it is most likely - the devil."

"Mian" frowned when he heard this, "Why do you say that?"

The priestess looked solemn. She entered the martial arts alliance with "Mian" and slowly spoke out her speculation.

"Although I don't have much dealings with demons, due to restraint, the only time we cooperated with demons to find the successor of the power card, we were quite difficult to deal with."

"I believe in doing things before I act, but the devil does not. He does what Temperance says he does, and he does it exactly according to his own mood."

"Even though it ended well, he did say - I'm a very troubled woman."

"Because at that time, I was undoubtedly in a dominant position when it came to the heir, and because of the deterrence of the world, I could often limit the demon's behavior."

Alliance leader "Mian" questioned, "Just this sentence cannot fully prove -"

His words were interrupted by the priestess, "So I said it is highly likely, not certain."

"And now I'm going to tell you a more serious guess."

The priestess looked at the young man in red in front of her, and was not surprised to see his expression change slightly.

Perhaps, the person in front of me has also considered this possibility.

"The so-called player who was taken away by the devil just now may be Temperance."

"But...Priestess, Temperance is not a person of the player race."

"Mian" looked at the priestess in front of her who was still as calm as water.

"But I also said that the successor to the power of the Temperance card has been replaced. Mian, the temperance you are talking about may no longer be called temperance."

"Perhaps, we might as well make a bold guess that his new identity may be a player?"

"Besides, it's easy for us to verify this guess, isn't it? As long as we find the guard and ask him specifically about his appearance, all problems will be solved."

"After all, we have all seen the true face of temperance."

After a while, the priestess saw the young man in red coming to her with a heavy look on his face, with regret that could not be concealed.

"Priestess, if I had been faster just now, if I-"

His words were once again interrupted calmly by the priestess.

"If the devil wants to take him away, he won't give you a chance."

"Similarly, if the devil wanted to kill Temperance, he would have done it long ago."

"I think that when the devil comes this time, he won't want to put temperance to death."

"But the devil is a guy who changes his mind too quickly. We'd better find control as soon as possible. He is safest only if he is with us."

This statement was affirmed by "Mian".

"At least now I know that no matter what his identity is, he is safe and alive for the time being."

The boy in red quickly suppressed the annoyance in his heart, "However, if what I just found was temperance, when I asked the guard, the guard mentioned one point that particularly concerned him."

"When the visitor left, there were bloody thorn lines on the back of his raised right hand that seemed to be winding along the blood flow. The lines were ominous and he could see them at a glance."

"Blood thorn pattern..."

The priestess murmured to herself, thinking, "This is a bit like a devil's mark..."

Soon, she whispered: "Suffer it."

Facing Mian's probing gaze, the priestess spoke unusually fast.

"The devil may not have intended to kill Temperance, but becoming a puppet without a personal thought is any different from killing Temperance?"

"This time, I'm afraid I can't begrudge my strength."

As she spoke, the priestess spread her hands, and the Pure White Book appeared in her hands.

Picking up the white feather-shaped pen tucked between the title pages, the priestess began to ask.

This time, she directly asked the devil's specific location.

As the answer emerged, the priestess felt that one-fifth of her originally abundant power was immediately consumed.

Proactive inquiry that goes straight to the source consumes much more energy than "disarming".

The moment he saw the answer, "Mian" looked at her deeply and disappeared directly, but the priestess knew that he was going directly to the location.

Soon, the priestess thought for a while and slowly disappeared.
