Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1086: Hidden Danger Investigation

Although Naruse Mio was extremely reluctant, she finally stayed and cleaned up the mess left by Duanmu Huai with a sad face. Fortunately, the Tacheng kitten felt sorry for her and stayed with her, which was somewhat of a comfort. Duanmu Huai put away his chariot, patted his **** and returned to the Royal City with Captain Meld... Anyway, the elimination of Andariel was a good start, at least now the Royal City did not have to face the demon army directly. Threatened.

After returning to the royal city, Captain Meld naturally informed the king of the news immediately. It has to be said that after listening to Captain Meld's report, the king himself was also confused - the whole process was really a bit too much. It was such a child's play that he couldn't tell whether it was true or not, but based on his trust in Captain Meld, the latter should not treat him as a fool.

Then there is only one answer.

“I didn’t expect that the brave man could kill Andariel, one of the four demon kings, so easily. It’s really…”

 “Okay, I think the boring politeness can be dispensed with.”

 Duanmu Huai directly interrupted the king's speech.

"Now you have also seen that your so-called demon king is no match for me, so can you tell me where the other demon kings are, and I will take care of them quickly. Everyone will be relieved, right?"

"this………"

Facing Duanmuhuai’s inquiry, the king looked troubled.

"To be honest, we don't have a very clear grasp of the demon kings' movements at the moment... we just have some vague clues..."

“There are clues, I’ll investigate them myself.”

"I understand. I will have someone pass the information to you later. Also, if you don't mind, we will hold a banquet tonight to celebrate your victory in the first battle. I wonder if you are interested in attending, Lord Brave?" ?”

If it were an ordinary adventurer, the king would naturally not speak like this. But Duanmu Huai has proven that he is a ruthless person who can tear the Demon King apart with his own hands, not to mention that they are from another world. The king is not a fool, and he also understands that these people are very dissatisfied with his inexplicable arrival in such a world. In addition, he still needs to rely on these brave men to defeat the devil and the devil, so he takes care of them in every possible way, and of course his attitude is quite polite.

 “The banquet...”

Hearing the king's inquiry, Duanmu Huai showed a speechless expression. He actually had no interest in this kind of upper-class banquet. After all, with Duanmu Huai's size, it was impossible to find anyone to dance with him. The rest is nothing more than eating and drinking. If Duanmuhuai is like this, he might as well stay at home and lie on the bed watching movies and eating snacks, which is better than being completely bored on such occasions.

"I won't do it. This kind of occasion doesn't suit me, and it's useless for me to come. You can celebrate by yourself. But I must remind you that this is just the beginning, not the end. You should also be cruel and cunning of the devil. You know, don’t open the champagne at halftime just for a small victory, otherwise you’ll be in trouble if your joy turns to misery.”

Duanmuhuai shook his head and rejected the king's invitation. When he heard Duanmuhuai's answer, the king was somewhat disappointed.

"I understand. Of course, Lord Brave's reminder makes sense. But in the current season, I think the people also need some good news to cheer up. Maybe you don't know something, Lord Brave. Before everyone arrived, the entire world had been completely destroyed. Shrouded in the shadow of the demon army and demons, even our royal family lives in fear every day..."

 At this point, the king stood up and bowed his head to Duanmuhuai.

"I also know that it was our fault to rashly summon you to this world without your permission. I also know that just a verbal apology is meaningless, so as long as it is something we can do, please be brave. Sir, you must speak up, in order to protect my country and my people, we must rely on the power of brave men!"

“Protecting humanity is the policy of the Tribunal. We will not sit back and watch humanity perish. It is the duty of the Tribunal to destroy the subspace monsters. You don’t have to worry about this.”

Duanmuhuai answered calmly.

"That's good... By the way, in order to facilitate communication, I would like to send a special envoy to the Tribunal. If possible, I can also prepare servants and guards for all the brave Lords..."

"The envoy can come, but there is no need for servants and guards. They are not children, and they should learn to take care of themselves."

 After saying this, Duanmuhuai nodded to the king.

 “Then, if it’s okay, I’ll leave first.”

"Okay, I will send a special envoy to contact you as soon as possible."

 Watching Duanmu Huai turn around and leave, the king also gave a wry smile, sat back on the throne again, and looked at each other with the princess.

At this moment, the prince who had been silent next to him spoke out in dissatisfaction.

“Father, that brave man is too arrogant. Father, you invited him like this, but he still doesn’t care at all!”

"That's not what I said. After all, whether our country can continue to exist and whether we can resist the demon army depends on the brave men, and... you also know that they were summoned to us without knowing it. In this world, it is normal to have opinions against us. Put yourself in our shoes, if you were inexplicably summoned to a dangerous place one day, and the people there wanted you to risk your life to protect them, what would you think?"

"this………"

Hearing the king's teaching, the prince also pursed his lips and stopped talking. After all, he is just a teenage boy.

"But didn't the brave man say that it is their duty to protect mankind? There is no need for my father to be so humble."

"Why………"

Hearing his son's unconvinced answer, the king sighed and looked at each other again. Indeed, just as the prince said, Duanmuhuai did say, "The duty of the Tribunal is to protect mankind." However, the king is not a fool. He naturally knows that Duanmuhuai means "humanity" and not "country". In other words, Yes, he doesn't care whether this country is destroyed or not, as long as humans can survive.

 Duanmu Huai said this when the two parties first met, and he repeated it again now. The meaning is that the attitude of the trial court has not changed - which means that the two parties have not been able to establish a closer relationship. To put it bluntly, defeating the Demon King is the "duty" of the Tribunal, not out of "friendly relations" with the country.

In this way, the king forcibly summons the brave men from another world to come and protect his country. The king also knows that this is not a good thing. The current relationship between the two parties is completely cold. Moreover, the other party also has the ability to be self-reliant in this world. He does not need to rely on the kingdom at all, and he has even shown an attitude of drawing a clear line with the kingdom.

 In this case, it is not an easy task to bring the two parties closer.

 “No matter what, the celebration will still be held.”

The king made a decision quickly. On the one hand, it was to appease the uneasy mood of the people, and on the other hand, it was also to publicize the deeds of the Tribunal and the brave among the people, so that the people would become more enthusiastic and worship the brave. This can be regarded as a way to promote the relationship between the two parties through the people. In any case, after knowing that the Tribunal is their savior, the citizens of the Kingdom should not be too rude when facing the people of the Tribunal.

So holding a celebration is not a bad thing. On the contrary, if it continues without happening, it will be troublesome if there is friction between the people and the Tribunal.

 The king would never want to be an enemy of a ruthless person who can tear the devil to pieces.

Over there the king was preparing for the celebration, while here Duanmu Huai returned to the church and relaxed.

"I'm back."

 “Welcome back, Mr. Duanmu.”

 The one who greeted Duanmu Huai was naturally Mary.

 “Yo, Mary, how is everyone doing?”

“Everyone has adapted to the new environment quite well, but...maybe a little too adaptable.”

 “Hmm? What do you mean?”

“Didn’t everyone use that silver board to test their vocation and attributes before? Many people seem to be very interested in this aspect and want to try to use these abilities...”

This is also normal. Apart from the threat of death, if modern people awakened to any superpowers or magic, it would be extremely cool. Who wouldn’t want it?

"There are still some students who want to try fighting and express their willingness to receive training..."

 “Young people are really full of energy.”

Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders, while Mary looked around Duanmuhuai.

“Mr. Duanmu, where are Miss Mio and Miss Kitty? Didn’t they follow you to the Wilderness of Blood?”

“Oh, they are staying there to clean up the aftermath. It will probably take a few days before they come back.”

 Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.

 “Is everyone excited?”

"Absolutely. In my opinion, it may be related to the fact that there is nothing to do in this world. Even Teacher Tachibana is secretly practicing her abilities..."

"Um………"

Although Duanmu Huai wants to solve the problem of the Demon King as soon as possible, he also has to be careful on his side. Forget it, ordinary students like Naruse Mio, Maria and Tacheng Koneko suddenly gained unimaginable power. , there will naturally be changes.

 It seems that before dealing with the next demon king, it is better to deal with the matters on your own side first.

"I see."

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai made a decision.

“You go and notify everyone and ask them to fill out a form. The main thing is to write down their abilities and characteristics, and whether they are willing to go to the front line to participate in the battle.”

"I understand...but Mr. Duanmu, do you really want them to participate in the battle?"

"hehe………"

Facing Mary's question, Duanmu Huai just smiled.

 “You will know when the time comes.”

Then he spoke.
