Chapter 242: Chapter 220 Demon King Legend_2

Lucien had figured out the truth, but when he looked at Niya, he noticed a faint hint of dark black around her body, indicating malice.

"I... I’m fine." Niya twisted her head away with a nervous voice, her hands fidgeting uncontrollably as if she was struggling, yet seemingly trying hard to convince herself.

Lucien’s pupils slightly contracted, now understanding the meaning behind Niya’s earlier statement, "It doesn’t matter what happens to me."

Clearly, Niya was planning to use the opportunity of becoming his etiquette teacher to make a desperate move, and her target might just be him!

Thinking of this, Lucien quietly stepped back quickly, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

However, he soon thought of a method. He looked at Niya, who seemed to be struggling between her good and evil sides, and flashed her a sweet smile.

"Teacher... can you help me?" Lucian looked at Niya and then took a gemstone that Lurah was wearing and held it in his hand.

Niya’s attention was drawn to Lucien, and she couldn’t help but look at the gemstone he was holding, her eyes filled with struggle.

"Teacher, I want to go out and play, but sister Mier insists on making me study in the room. If you help me, I will give this to you." Lucien said, handing the gemstone towards Niya.

At the same time, he was also prepared to retaliate should any unexpected event occur that might lead to Niya seizing him instantly.

"No..." Niya instinctively frowned and wanted to refuse, but the image of her sick child lying in bed flashed through her mind, causing her mental defenses to crumble.

"Teacher, please help me..." Lucien whispered, winking at Niya, "I have already mastered what you just taught me, and later it’s just practice anyway. I can practice on my own when I have time, and I promise I can withstand your examination."

While speaking, Lucien observed the emotional color around Niya, noticing that the faint black airflow was gradually receding. He felt somewhat relieved and seized the moment to press further.

"If teacher finds this a bit difficult, I can pay with a Magic Crystal Stone. I heard from my brother that someone once found such a stone in the wilderness and sold it to the Awakening Temple for a lot of money!"

"Magic Crystal Stone..." Niya’s body trembled slightly, for this stone was one of the core materials used in making Holy Water. Priest Stanley had also mentioned that if she could procure a Magic Crystal Stone, the Awakening Temple would be willing to trade it for Holy Water with her.

For Niya, the Magic Crystal Stone was her current weakness! Moreover, obtaining it so easily seemed even better than her original plan.

However, the thought of herself doing something contrary to etiquette and what she had always upheld in front of her child made Niya feel a strong sense of guilt and shame.

"Mitchell..." Niya said in a very low voice, seemingly making up her mind, she gritted her teeth, then looked at Lucian. "Just this once."

Lucien’s smile was radiant.

...

"Very well, let’s move on to the next set of exercises, refrain from swinging your arms too much while walking, and keep your body..."

In the classroom, Niya was chanting instructions as usual, but the student in front of her had become air, and Lucien had already left the room under her cover.

Emotional fluctuations detected from the room on the left, likely two resting servants, keep the volume down...

Having gained his freedom, Lucien cautiously proceeded inside the mansion, leveraging his spiritual power and the "Mind Reading" talent for dual detection.

By leveraging several coincidences or ducking quickly during a servant’s turn, entering his blind spot to avoid observation, or using his keenful ability to sense emotions to hide in empty rooms, just as two servants were about to encounter face to face...

Soon, Lucien had returned near Harvey’s study.

"Unfortunately, our conversation has ended," Lucien’s eyes swept over Harvey’s study, yet he couldn’t detect the emotional colors of others; he let out a soft sigh, but still cautiously entered the slightly ajar study.

"This is it," Lucien quickly searched through the papers on the desk, and soon found some intelligence about the Northern Demon Nest.

"What exactly is there?" Lucien was also curious about those two Demon Nests; he silently and swiftly skimmed the detailed intelligence and quickly committed it all to memory.

Seemingly related to the ’Demon King’?

Lucien looked at one piece of intelligence that featured a sketch of a heavy sword wrapped in Demonic Qi, with complex and strange patterns etched on the blade.

Even just looking at the drawing, Lucien felt a sense of oppression as if something was weighing on his chest, making him feel extraordinarily suffocated.

"Demon King... Demon King..." Lucien murmured the name softly; it was the leader of the slumbering demonic race and also the source from which all demonic beings, including the Demon Nest, originated.

However, records concerning the Demon King were scarce, and Lucien only knew that he was the leader of the demonic race and would awaken during the demonic tide a year and a half later, seeking to plunge the world into the abyss.

And, led by Rafael, a group of "heroes" would take on the heavy responsibility of vanquishing and unsealing the Demon King, resisting the vast numbers of demonic beings emerging during the demonic tide...

"That’s right... Previously, Anos seemed to have mentioned the legend of the five heroes battling the Demon King!" Lucien suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead; the information about the Demon King that he had been so obsessed with, wasn’t it right by his side?

With this in mind, Lucien hastened his pace, quickly recording some useful information from Harvey’s study, then swiftly made his way back.

...

"The story of the five heroes battling the Demon King actually narrates the founding history of our human kingdoms. Although this history has been deliberately erased, it is still passed on orally within our major families," Anos finally set aside some of his tasks in the afternoon under Lucien’s persistence and began to narrate the Legend of the Demon King.

"Why has this history been erased?" Lucien asked directly, showing a full display of curiosity.

"Hehe, because the Demon King’s identity is quite special," Anos laughed.

"Before he completely fell, he was actually a human, even the sixth hero of that era. This is also why the emblem representing the hero in the Awakening Temple is a hexagram instead of a pentagram - each point represents one of the original heroes guarding the temple," Lucien mused inwardly but continued to listen to Anos’s narrative.

"In that distant era, a temple suppressing Demonic Qi suddenly descended on the land. The temple was established to suppress the demonic race, but the aura of the demonic race was too powerful. Some outflowing Demonic Qi contaminated many humans and animals, transforming them into the initial demonic beings and leading to great slaughter."

"Later, the humans, unable to bear the strife, organized six heroes as a scouting party to enter the temple that had descended from the sky to search for the source of the Demonic Qi and to find a solution for those demonic beings."

"Inside the temple, they heard the voice of gods and obtained six Awakening Stones, each representing earth, fire, water, wind, light, and darkness; among them, the stones of light and darkness were the most powerful."

"With their newly awakened, potent natural gifts, this team became the six heroes and led armies to defeat those initial demonic beings and establish the fledgling form of the current human kingdom."

"What happened later?" Lucien prompted at the right moment.

"Discord, severe discord," Anos looked up slightly, his eyes seeming to drift.
