If they succeed once, the city of Ferenor will come to a brief halt because people need to re-inspect and observe the people and goods present before letting them pass, which will invisibly slow down the process somewhat, and the pollution left by the power of the demon will also take time to remove.

However, since Eve's destruction of the abyss indirectly helped the elves free up a lot of troops, the plans of the demon believers have often failed before they can be implemented. After all, it is easier to get things done with more manpower.

To be honest, this group of devil believers are like cockroaches in the sewer. They have been hunted for a thousand years but they still survive. I don’t know how they did it. They are really a nuisance for a thousand years.

Sometimes Eve even wondered if these guys were capable of mind control, brainwashing, or something like that, otherwise how could they have so many assassins?

Back to the present, because it takes too long to enter the city normally, and it seems that the situation in each person's demiplane needs to be checked, Eve finally chose to take out the World Tree Token after hesitating for a while.

Well, she's not acting anymore.

In fact, the main reason is that there are too many demiplanes open around her. If she really follows the normal procedure, it might take a long time to check.

Although Eve had a vague feeling that if she took out the token, she would be asked to help.

But there was no other way. After all, if they didn't take the official route on the elves' side, they would most likely be detained as suspicious people if they reached the border.

Although they should not be suspected of being followers of the devil because of the presence of the white elf Melchis, it is still a bit troublesome. After all, Istina is wearing a disguise magic, and after the magic is removed, her identity is still that of a human with a delicate relationship with the elves.

So, choosing the lesser of two evils, Eve chose to reveal her identity to help, and then go to the border through official channels to check.

Just as Eve expected, after they took out the World Tree Token, they were exempted from inspection and were welcomed into the city smoothly. At the same time, they also received a meeting invitation from the Lord of Ferenor City.

Well, it seems that my feeling just now came true. I guess I need their help with something.

As for why those holding the World Tree Token can be exempted from inspection, it is naturally because there are only a few people who can hold this token except for those in the elves. They are all well-known top-level strongmen, and there is no way that there can be any problems between them and the people around them.

As for counterfeiting the World Tree Token, that is even more impossible. The elves who originated from the World Tree only need to touch or even just get close to the token to easily determine its authenticity. Therefore, Eve and the others will be directly allowed into the city after taking out the World Tree Token.

§176 God's Coming Plan

Led by the golden elf captain, Eve and her group were traveling through the city of Ferenor.

After entering the city, Eve was completely certain that the construction specifications of this place were based on the standards of the Abyss Fortress stronghold, but it was slightly more inclined towards daily life.

After all, she had also gone to destroy many abysses and seen many strongholds. Although the conditions of these strongholds might change depending on their construction locations, in order to facilitate the deployment of troops, these strongholds were still very similar in general structure, so it was not difficult to see this.

tread.

After walking for a while, the elf captain who led Eve and her group suddenly stopped in front of a room, bowed and said.

"Please come in, Master Meierxi is waiting for you in the room."

"Ah."

squeak-

When they pushed open the door, what came into view was a reception room with some exquisite snacks already placed on the long table.

There was only one person sitting at the table in the room. It was the Lord Melxi mentioned by the elves. As expected, he was a white elf.

There was a stack of documents next to her, which should be what she would seek Eve's help with next.

"Your Highness Princess Eve, welcome to the city of Ferenor. I am Melxi, the person in charge of this city. I am a little surprised that you are here."

Seeing Eve coming, Melxi immediately stood up and motioned for everyone to take a seat, and unsurprisingly pointed out Eve's identity right away.

"Well, I came here because I wanted to visit some places on the border."

After leading everyone to their seats, Eve casually explained the reason for her coming here and after a few pleasantries, she turned to the business.

"So, is there anything I can help you with here?"

"Yes, it's about something related to the Demon God's followers. I hope to get the Princess's help."

As she spoke, Melxi handed the documents in her hand to Eve.

"Uh-huh…"

After taking the document, Eve began to open it, and Melxi also began to introduce the specific situation.

"Thanks to Her Highness Eve's clearing of many abysses, Ferenor City has deployed many new troops, successfully preventing many plots of the Demon God's followers in advance. However, we recently found some clues that due to repeated failures, they seem to be planning some major actions. The specific information is in that document."

This is what is written in this document: the God's Coming Plan. This is the name given by the Demon God's followers to their action, which comes from a document that they failed to destroy in time.

The golden elves only heard part of the specific process, which was that the devil's followers planned to use large-scale "human fireworks" to create chaos the day after tomorrow to create an opportunity for the so-called arrival of the gods.

It is not clear what this divine presence is, but it is probably not a good thing.

If Eve were to say so, it would most likely be related to the devil. After all, the god those psychopaths are talking about is just the devil.

It seems that Eve and the others came here at a very good time. If they had come a little later, they probably wouldn't have been able to help much.

Another reason why Melxi was determined to seek help was that they had not been able to find the real base of the Demon God's followers even after their carpet search.

Although they had destroyed many new Demon God strongholds built around the city of Ferenor after learning the news, judging from the number of people in the strongholds, they did not look like real large-scale strongholds at all. In fact, many places were deserted and only traps remained. It seemed that all the discovered places were abandoned.

So now there are only two possibilities left.

1. The real large-scale stronghold is still hidden near the city of Ferenor, but it is hidden so deep that they cannot find it.

2. Strong followers of the demon god will come via a conveyor belt to carry out the plan.

No matter which possibility happens the day after tomorrow, it will be a very bad situation. Regardless of whether they can stop it or not, judging from the scale of the actions of the Demon God's followers this time, it will inevitably cause great interference to the supply of the Far West Front.

Apart from anything else, the self-destruction of a large number of people with demonic power would leave behind a lot of pollution that needs to be cleaned up.

And the worst possibility is that the Demon God's followers plan to take this opportunity to directly damage the city of Ferenor, causing it to fall into a long-term shutdown.

"..."

After reading all the documents, Eve thought for a while, and then asked after she made a plan in her mind.

"If I need to make some changes to the plan now, is it too late? I have a way to accurately identify the demon followers mixed in with the crowd."

"Eh?! Are you serious?"

When Melxi heard Eve say this, she exclaimed in surprise.

Because they had received news before that some demon believers who possessed the power of demons but had not lost their sanity and could perfectly blend in with ordinary people were found in other places, so they now need to spend a lot of time on the city entry inspection, repeatedly undergoing magic checks and even checking the individual's demiplane before letting them in. The queue at the city gate is so long for this reason.

If Eve could catch them directly, it would save a lot of problems.

"Yeah, that's right. Speaking of which, I was the first one to encounter a demon follower who could disguise himself as an ordinary person."

That’s right, the method Eve mentioned was naturally Ilvia’s disgust towards the devil’s believers. It seemed like she would have to cause a little trouble this time.

"Okay, what are your plans? I'll adjust the plan immediately."

"Let's set up a small checkpoint a little further away from Ferenor City. Just have everyone pass by me once. If anyone has a problem, I'll be able to notice it immediately. You can arrange the details. After all, you're more familiar with this area."

"Well, leave it to me. I'll give the detailed plan to Her Highness the Princess later."

"Ah, right."

At the end, Eve seemed to remember something and added one last sentence.

"Please prepare some more cookies as a reward for your contribution."

As she spoke, Eve glanced at Ilvia who was standing beside her.

"Eh? Okay, no problem."

Although she was a little confused about Eve's request, Melxi agreed to it without hesitation. After all, it wasn't often possible to catch the devil's followers by paying a few cookies.

After saying this, the brief meeting ended. Melxi left first and began to adjust the plan urgently, while Eve was arranged to live here so that she could be notified at any time if any accidents happened.

While the two were talking, Melchis, who was doing nothing, had been attracted by the desserts on the table and was constantly trying them.

"Okay, that's all, time to go."

"Eh? Is it all over?"

After swallowing the snack she was eating, Melchis asked as if she was not in the mood for anything.

"Yes, we need to find a place to stay."

"Um...Eve, can you take all of these?"

Hearing Eve say this, Melchis looked at the unfinished snacks on the table and asked reluctantly.

"Okay, let's continue eating when we get back to the room~"

Raising her hand to put the snacks into the demiplane, Eve rubbed Melchis's little head lovingly.

"Yeah! Eve is the best!"

§177 Fishing

One day after Eve and Melxi's meeting ended, two temporary checkpoints were built a short distance away from the edge of Ferenor. All people and goods entering the city had to pass through these two checkpoints before being allowed to continue entering the city.

The scope of routine patrols has also been expanded a lot. Temporary control has been implemented in the area with the city of Ferenol as the center and the checkpoint as the radius, and no one other than the patrol team is allowed to enter.

People entering the city have become accustomed to this temporary tightening of inspection measures, but they also keep a distance from people they don't know out of habit.

After all, based on past experience, this is probably another case of the devil's followers trying to make some big news. I hope it won't affect them.

As for whether this action would alert the enemy, Eve and Melxi were not too worried. Those demon believers would be extremely persistent in the plan with a confirmed execution time. Even if the other side was already waiting for you, they would really come to deliver you.

I don't know if they have some auspicious dates among themselves, and they have to focus on this day, so they just need to wait for the other side to take the bait.

There was a rather petite golden elf standing in each of the two inspection points, which made people passing by take a few more glances at her.

The speed of the two people's inspection also surprised everyone in the queue. They didn't even need to stop, they just had to walk over one by one in order. As for the goods, they would roughly check them once and then let them go. It was even much faster than the previous inspection at the city gate.

Among them, the golden elf at the checkpoint on the right kept taking out biscuits from her arms and eating them in small bites. She looked a little absent-minded and she never stopped anyone. However, the golden elf team around her did not raise any objection to her slacking off at work.

And these two 'golden elves' are naturally Eve and Ilvia.

In order to avoid attracting attention, the two of them simply chose to disguise themselves as golden elves.

Although it is still a little subtle due to their body shape, people who don't know the inside story might think they are child laborers.

Someone even gave Ilvia some snacks, which she accepted without hesitation.

But good fortune is always short-lived. With a slight feeling of disgust coming over her, Eve knew that today's main course of dinner was coming.

"Pass."

After letting another person go, Eve raised her eyebrows slightly. This time, a beastman caravan appeared in front of her. A glance at everyone in the caravan gave her a faint feeling of disgust. It seemed that they would not come back empty-handed today.

"you…"

Seeing Eve holding a pole to release people, the captain of the caravan reached into his arms and was about to come forward to take something out, but Eve blocked his way with a raised hand.

"One person, one pole, gather outside the house, and pass."

"well."

After signaling to the people behind him, the captain walked directly into the back of the house and disappeared from the sight of others.

At the same time, Eve's fingertips hidden under the table also emitted a faint magical light.

"…?Next."

Seeing that the person behind was slow to come forward, Eve frowned slightly and urged him.

"Ah good."

Although he seemed a little confused, the second person still came up, and then entered the back room with a sound, followed by the third, the fourth... until the last person.

But if someone was guarding the back door, they would find that the entire caravan had disappeared without a trace, with no sign of leaving the checkpoint and no chaos caused.

Just like a small stone thrown into a deep pool, it sank directly into it without causing any ripples.

Only the faint glint of magic from Eve's fingertips hinted at their destination.

Perhaps it was because he had spent more time with Ilvia after she woke up, the disgust that group of people had when they approached her just now was much more obvious, and there was no possibility of accidental killing at all.

On the other side, at the checkpoint where Ilvia was in charge, she also welcomed such a small group of people. Then she told Eve in her heart, and then those people also went to the rear of the caravan.

In this way, as time passed, they had captured hundreds of people on both sides. It seemed that the group of demon believers had really invested a lot of money in today's plan.

But this shouldn’t be the end, there should be new things coming soon.

At noon, the long queue outside had disappeared, leaving only a few new arrivals. The checkpoint on Eve's side had also been closed, leaving only the one on Ilvia's side still open, continuing to check the situation of the people coming.
