Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!
Chapter 410: The Fiery Young King

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: The Fiery Young King

Hearing this intelligence, Wanjing Zhuhua furrowed her brows.

Hero Lox was a character known to everyone in this world, the very hero who had saved the world from the brutal Demon King of ancient times.

How could such a person possibly construct an Underground Maze and hide mysterious creatures on its final level?

"Why are you so certain that the builder of the Goblin Maze was the legendary Hero Lox?"

Leaning Long Spear against the sofa, Yang Yu replied,

"What I’m saying is the truth, believe it or not.

I don’t know if you’ve received any intelligence from the Royal Family.

As one of the top adventure groups in this country, the Sethis Royal Family should be informing you about what will happen in the future, so you can prepare in advance.

Or is it that the Sethis Royal Family feels it’s not yet the right time and wants to wait a bit longer before telling you the truth?

I wonder if the communications you’ve received from the Sethis Kingdom have increased recently."

Wanjing Zhuhua knelt down to open a cabinet storing documents, flipping through the heavy stack to find several pale yellow envelopes.

Inside were all ball invitations from the Setis Royal Family.

They were invitations to join them at balls being held in the royal capital, with the pretext of wanting to build a good relationship with Red Blood Rose.

In the past years, the Royal Family would also invite them to their balls, about once a year, timed for the current King’s birthday, and they would attend every year out of respect for the King.

To be honest, Wanjing Zhuhua really disliked attending such balls. At these events, one often encountered other S-Class adventure groups, who would constantly compare them to the older generation of Red Blood Rose.

There were also many people who always wanted to connect with them, continuously coming over to converse, and Wanjing Zhuhua was tired of it.

Yet, what used to be an annual invitation to the ball had recently become more frequent, changing to once a month. Wanjing Zhuhua had no desire to participate in these meaningless social gatherings and therefore used various excuses to decline, stuffing the invites to the bottom of the document cabinet.

"Indeed, there’s been an increase lately, but that alone doesn’t prove anything," Wanjing Zhuhua said indifferently.

Just then, Gordon casually mentioned,

"Speaking of which, Sethis’s Prince also often contacts me directly through the Crystal Ball these days, trying to cozy up to me.

He even said that if we find any nice Equipment, we should show it to them first, and they would pay a high price for it.

Although they have bought equipment from us before, the quantity they’ve been asking for lately is exceptionally large."

Wanjing Zhuhua, hearing this, stuffed the invitations forcefully to the bottom of the cabinet, approached Gordon, who was fiddling with the Magic Cube, and seized his collar with both hands,

"When did this happen? I’ve never heard you mention this before! Why wouldn’t you tell me something so important?"

"First, let go of my hands." Gordon caught Wanjing Zhuhua’s hands, urging her to calm down. He straightened his collar and said casually, "The most recent time was yesterday. The exchanges became more frequent just after Sena and Chel came back.

Didn’t I just say that I’ve found a buyer? The buyer I was talking about is the Sethis Royal Family.

With the Royal Family’s help, the things we found in the Goblin Maze could easily be traded for what we need."

Wanjing Zhuhua was speechless for a moment, but seeing this, Yang Yu couldn’t help but laugh,

"It seems you really don’t know about that matter. Don’t worry, when they invite you in the future, the invitations will only become more frequent."

"What exactly do you know? Can’t you tell us?" Wanjing Zhuhua stared at Yang Yu.

Yang Yu spread his hands, "I really want to tell you guys, but now is not the time. Moreover, if I tell you now, the surprise you’d feel upon learning the truth would significantly diminish, and it would definitely arouse suspicion from the Royal Family.

However, if you really want to know, I can give you a little hint.

In recent years, powerful Underground Mazes have been emerging one after another.

This is the sign of some major event that will happen soon.

By chance, I cleared one of the many dungeons established by a Hero and got this Long Spear.

This Holy Spear, Fallen’s Spear, was used by the legendary character Amon Lucifer Gabriel.

I also learned some secrets from the Hero’s companion, secrets I was never meant to know."

"Holy Spear, Fallen’s Spear?"

When they heard Yang Yu mention these words, Wanjing Zhuhua and Gordon fixed their gaze on the Long Spear that Yang Yu held in his hand again.

The two said in unison, "Can you confirm that this weapon is indeed used by the Black Knight who ushered in the Dark Age, as the legend describes?"

Yang Yu smiled and handed the Long Spear to Gordon, "It was Amon Lucifer Gabriel himself who told me, so it shouldn’t be wrong.

Telling you about it might take a long time. Once you clear a dungeon established by a Hero, you’ll know whether I’m telling the truth or not."

Feeling a unique sensation transmitted through his fingertips, Gordon felt that the Long Spear seemed to have a special Magic Power that made it impossible to look away.

Wanjing Zhuhua felt increasingly unable to see through Yang Yu, "Just how much do you know? Or are these things you just made up?"

"Whether it’s made up or not, time will prove everything. I can’t tell you all the secrets, that’s also a way for me to survive.

So, what will it be? You should give me a clear answer now.

Are you willing to help me or not? In order to rescue her brother successfully, I need your help.

I must get a clear answer from you before I can pledge this Long Spear to you.

Whether or not it’s Amon Lucifer Gabriel’s Holy Spear, you can take your time to investigate.

Rescuing Iyas’ brother requires a thorough plan. In the next few days, while we devise a plan, I might chat with you about the things I’ve seen and heard; maybe I’ll accidentally reveal some key information."

No one ever admits that they might accidentally divulge information.

Wanjing Zhuhua internally criticized and sighed that she had actually fallen into this man’s rhythm.

And moreover...

"It looks like you’ve also gathered quite a lot of information. We might be able to discuss it together. Not to brag, but I’m pretty good at deduction."

Moreover, this man had also proposed a condition that was hard for her to refuse.

Honestly, Wanjing Zhuhua also wanted to see if this young man, who was not blinded by greed and gave up a great fortune to exit the Goblin Maze, would be able to notice some details that she hadn’t.

However, the final decision on whether to agree to Yang Yu’s proposal was not up to Wanjing Zhuhua but their Captain Gordon.

Yang Yu, of course, knew that the decision was not in Wanjing Zhuhua’s hands. He stood up, pulled out a yo-yo from his System, and facing Gordon, who was assessing the Long Spear, he smiled and said:

"Captain Gordon, I see you quite like the little gift I gave you. I could teach you how to solve the Magic Cube and offer some more interesting things. Please, you must help."
