1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King-Chapter 149 - 149 Weighing the Situation (3)

149 Weighing the Situation (3)

He was planning for the entire academy’s future.

Moreover, before making up his mind, it wasn’t as if Grimm hadn’t made other attempts. In the past half a month, he had entered the palace a few times to meet Vincent, hoping to clarify the reopening of the lighthouse. However, the answers he received were official answers like “studying the feasibility,” and “an answer will be provided in the future.”

Grimm wasn’t a fool. He could see the increasing number of strict seals outside the Astral Lighthouse day by day.

The Restorationists’ promise of immediately restoring contact with the Astral Council seemed much more pragmatic and reliable in comparison.

Grimm activated the communication spell in the Demon Sealing rune—he wanted to inform the ambush arranged by the Restorationists a few streets away that the girl had already left.

Mana flowed from his fingertips to the runes according to his will. The spells engraved on the runes were instantly covered in blue electric sparks.

Then, it went out.

“It’s useless. You’ve underestimated a father’s protective measures for his daughter, especially given her many dangerous encounters.”

A voice suddenly echoed opposite Grimm.

He looked up and saw a gray-haired man appear where Liliana had been sitting.

There was no one there a second ago.

“Who’s there!”

Grimm’s back tensed up. He raised his hand, and a fiery-red spell instantly took shape.

Then, it was extinguished as well.

“By the way, I’ve already sealed off the space here. Don’t shout. It’s useless.”

After casually extinguishing his spell, the person said indifferently,

This made Grimm, who was about to call for help, shut up.

Spatial seal? But he remembered that spells related to spatial seals couldn’t be silently cast. Or was the other party just lying to him?

Grimm looked at the calm man suspiciously. He stared at him for a while before saying, “Have I seen you somewhere?”

“I’ve used your school’s training range before. Perhaps you’ve seen me back then,” the person replied politely.

Grimm recalled carefully. It seemed to have happened not long after the chaos in the graveyard. Back then, Vincent brought a person who wasn’t willing to reveal his identity over to rent an underground shooting range for two days and instructed that no one was allowed to approach it in order not to cause any accidents. However, two days later, the entire shooting range was returned intact, as if that person had only slept in the shooting range for two days.

He still had some impression of it due to the supposed gravity of the situation back then.

“So you’re Vincent’s man?” Grimm asked thoughtfully.

The other party shook his head.

But before Grimm could voice his next guess, the other party replied, “Vincent is one of mine.”

Grimm waited for the other party to continue, but the other party fell silent at this point.

Therefore, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure?”

Although Vincent had never declared himself the King of Blackwater or Duke of Thorn, he undoubtedly held the highest authority in the Blackwater Province.

And now, this unknown magic chanter in front of him said that Vincent was his subordinate. What right did he have?

With his gray hair and silver eyes, he looked like the legitimate heir of the Riel royal family?

The person didn’t answer Grimm’s question and said directly, “The Restorationists’ plan for tomorrow’s coup won’t succeed.”

When Grimm Gordon heard the words ‘tomorrow’ and ‘coup,’ his heart immediately skipped a beat.

Once the information about a coup was leaked, there was no chance of success.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…” Grimm said without changing his expression.

“Coup? What coup? Is this an April Fool’s joke?”

The other party didn’t say anything when he heard that. Instead, he reached out and pried open his fingers that had been squeezed white before taking out the Demon Sealing rune that hadn’t been activated. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

He held the Demon Sealing rune and looked at him. His expression seemed to be saying: Please don’t treat me as a fool.

“I can explain that…”

However, the other party raised his hand to stop him. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

“I’ve always felt that the wrong choice made because of ignorance can be forgiven before it causes irreparable losses. After all, ignorance isn’t a sin. There’s still a chance to correct it,” the person looked at the Demon Sealing rune and said.

“Fortunately, you chose to help the Restorationists previously partly out of ignorance. You don’t know what’s supporting Vincent behind the scenes. Secondly, you didn’t choose to do anything that could cause heavy losses.”

Then, the person said and activated the Demon Sealing rune before Grimm could react.

“Hey! Wait!”

“Therefore, I’m willing to give you a chance to start over.”
