Chapter 633 Miraculous Balance
Devils are really a race with no bottom line.
When nothing happened, Rafi always left Reina with the impression of being elegant and sinister, with a strong sense of bad taste.
But when the devil really needed her, Rafi could decisively pretend to be a son, grandson or even great-grandson without any psychological pressure.
He really swore an oath in the name of Nowen.
After trying to pray to Nowen and getting an answer that she could "trust", Reina temporarily believed Rafi's statement.
However, she only promised the other party that she would find a way to find the devil hiding behind the scenes.
She did not fully promise to kill the devil herself and hand over his body to Rafi.
This is the bottom line for establishing cooperation.
Rafi had no choice but to accept it.
The reason is very simple.
Don't look at the fact that he had previously put all kinds of pressure on Reina, emphasizing that "other mortals who signed a contract with him will also know the news and find a way to find the devil".
In fact, Rafi himself knew it very well.
If Reina and her companions can't do it, others - there is no hope!
This devil is obviously inextricably linked to Rune Monger, the richest man in the Reyak Kingdom.
If you want to find him, you must first get past Monger.
The other party is not an ordinary person who can be easily dealt with!
A businessman with a small fortune may not be strong, because he will be afraid of being robbed by bandits, afraid of being asked for money and gifts in disguise by nobles under the pretext of gatherings, and even afraid of being assassinated by stalkers hired by jealous peers.
But when wealth accumulates to a certain extent, especially to Rune Monger's level, wealth itself becomes an extremely terrifying power.
Reina can guess it just by thinking about it.
Rune Monger can generously send Pete and others a huge sum of 1,000 gold coins as a "greeting gift";
If he wants to hire some powerful warriors and mages to protect himself, wouldn't it be easier?
Hire stalkers to assassinate him?
Not to mention whether there are any stalkers willing to accept such a "life for money" commission, even if there are killers willing to accept it, they will turn around and betray their employers, hand over the information to Rune Monger, and may get double the reward;
Moreover.
The "resurrection" miracle that is precious to ordinary people is not so rare in the eyes of wealthy nobles and big businessmen.
Although they only have one life, they can make their life "very difficult to die".
They will find ways to prepare various magical items and props blessed by divine arts and magic.
Some can automatically activate protective barriers before they suffer serious damage, randomly teleport, and provide temporary shelter;
Some will directly let the attack be replaced by items such as substitute straw men when they suffer serious damage;
Others will simply perform powerful healing and recovery immediately when they suffer fatal injuries, and recover to the healthiest physical state in just a few seconds.
They often exist in the form of jewelry, scrolls, small objects, and some are simply embedded in the body and integrated with the person.
They look fragile and can be killed with just a cut throat;
What is the reality?
Cut it, and one cut will not make a sound.
More than a dozen stalkers suddenly attacked at the same time, and they might not even be able to break through the opponent's outermost means of life-saving;
The development of spears and shields is always spiraling upward. The greatest wisdom of mortals is that they know how to use their wisdom. Although humans are completely incomparable to other races in terms of physique, they will use various auxiliary means to narrow or even surpass the gap with other races and monsters.

Reina relayed the content of her communication with Raphael to her companions.
"It's just hell!"
"Oops!"
Pet and Gale almost simultaneously held their foreheads and cursed in a low voice, with the same movements.
They thought of the same problem.
"I thought it was already very difficult to find evil believers in the capital;"
"They are related to the emerging manor nobles, which doubles the trouble;"
"In addition, the action corps that His Majesty the King intends to establish has unclear interests and makes things even more complicated!"
"Now you tell us that there is a devil hiding in the dark and secretly snatching fresh souls in the capital? Is he related to Rune Monger?!"
"And that devil may have been hiding in the capital for more than 60 years? And he has not been discovered yet?!"
"What is he planning to do!"
The time calculation is very simple.
"Monger's Special Juice" contains the power of the devil, and this thing is the first pot of gold that Rune Monger earned from scratch. It has been more than 60 years now. At that time, let alone Pete and his friends, even their parents were not born yet!
More and more forces, people with different positions, identities, and demands are involved, making the incident more complicated.
Pete's face was red and steam was coming out of it. Even though Gale had helped him to use the [Clarity Technique] to help him think and analyze, facing such a complicated situation, he still had a headache and couldn't think of where to start.
The moment they arrived in the capital, they were already in the vortex. The audience in the palace completely dragged them into the center of the vortex. They only realized this belatedly now.
"Oh, God of Norwen, I'm really... Archok!"
Pet couldn't help but utter a dwarf curse.
He complained helplessly:
"Isn't it said that the capital of Starosh is the safest place in the most Plantis continent?"
"Isn't it said that there is the protection of the God of Light? There are legendary wizards? There are blessings from the gods?"
"How did it become like this! Archok!"
Miranda's face was also shocked.
Because the experience of the past few days has completely overturned all her impressions of the capital in the past 20 years.
This miraculous huge city is indeed a miracle.
Various forces are mixed in it, and any one of them may cause a disaster if it breaks out, but they are all operating perfectly in secret;
The whole city is maintaining a strange balance in a delicate state.
Mutual restraint, mutual vigilance, mutual suspicion;
The final result is: no one dares to act rashly, and no one dares to take the lead;
Instead, a miraculous stability is formed.
But if any of these links are accidentally touched...
It is very likely that the balance will be broken immediately, triggering a chain reaction, causing all the crises hidden in the dark to erupt.
Pete and the others don't know whether His Majesty the King is doing it intentionally or unintentionally.
In short, the action corps that Kenreddin is trying to establish may be the key to breaking the balance of the capital Starosh!
And they will become the most critical link in this key blow!
