Chapter 164: The Long Dead Demon
After the two people walked slowly away, Nemo came out from behind the decorative stone pillar. His entire body was terribly depressed.
While he was relieved that he would still be sullen because of this kind trivial matter, he was overwhelmed by the trouble that was coming. In fact, if he was being honest, he didn’t regret filling in the answers sheet for the Pathology of Abyssal Magic section. If he could find more detailed information on this continent, it would be either the Abyssal Church, the Withered Castle, the Mercenary Guild, and Clementine Academy— Two of which had been destroyed by them.
Although Nemo had put all the information of the Abyssal Church into his head, because of its position, unlike other institutions that were dedicated to analyzing and eradicating curses and diseases, the perspective of the Abyssal Church wasn’t friendly. Believers wished the curse would be more difficult. For them, the Trent Plague was just an excellent weapon, and no one cared how it killed people or how to treat it.
The headquarters of the Mercenary Guild was far away, so Clementine Royal Military Academy in front of him was a suitable choice. The academy was closed to outsiders and he would never have such a good opportunity again.
The biggest trouble right now was Horizon was chasing their asses. Telaranea’s behavior was too unpredictable, so it was hard to say what it would do if it found them. It wasn’t like Nemo hadn’t though about erasing the demon’s memory again, but he wasn’t sure that the demon who was obsessed with knowledge would take any preventative measures in advance after discovering its memory loss. In case Telaranea really suspected Tumbleweed as a result, that demon would surely try its best to block them and expose their true strength.
What was more, Telaranea didn’t come alone this time.
Talbott Vance. Nemo sighed again and rubbed his forehead. He instinctively felt that it was the Vance who was the mysterious swordsman of the Tin Solider Mercenary Regiment, and not simply the same name.
Wait.
If Oliver’s father, Flint Lopez’s teacher, was really a superior demon, then everything would make sense. When he and Oliver had just met Bagelmaurus, the parrot made it clear that Oliver’s father used “domination” on the superior demon. According to Ann’s explanation at that time, Flint was able to transfer the summoning array, which meant that he also had research a lot of the theory of abyssal magic.
