The Great Demon King

Chapter 147 "The mission is running"

Not encountering any further danger along the way, Han Shuo and the others made it out of the underground world, out of the mountain valley they passed by.

Although the outing this time was slightly different from the original plan, he was still satisfied with the overall result. Not only did she receive two golden carriages and jewelry from the dark elves, she also received a beautiful crystal chest, a mysterious bow and a black dragon subordinate. Han Shuo felt that this trip was worth it.

As they walked towards the forest troll village, the black dragon Gilbert continued to complain, changing lanes between wanting Han Shuo to return his crystal chest to her, and Han Shuo finding beauty for her. Not caring about his whining, Han Shuo flatly rejected him.

The dark dragon knew the cause he lost when he saw it, and did not continue to waste his breath, preferring to sulk in the corner and take care of his wounds. Meanwhile, Han Shuo also did not remain silent. He mastered another daily worker-level necromancy magic, “Dark Fog”. Not only could this magic create fog within a certain limit, but it was also cast in such a way that the casters would not be affected, allowing only the vision of the enemy to be blurred. It was a very practical magic to use in attacking and escaping.

Han Shuo had mostly comprehended the Ninth Heavenly Art by now. After some testing, he found that despite some problems in the direction of the handle, all other problems were solved through continuous practice. It seemed that he would actually be able to fly through the air before too long.

As they passed through the forest troll sacred ground, Han Shuo had the forest troll waiting outside. He and the small skeleton went inside and stored all the remaining treasures within his spatial ring. The extreme wooden spot was still very beneficial to Han Shuo, so he left special instructions for the forest trolls guarding the sacred ground to keep an eye on this place.

After returning to the village, Han Shuo found traces of violent fights outside the village. When he entered the village and listened to the summary of the old priest, he learned that the forest trolls that had gathered from all regions had engaged the elves after they left. The superior numbers of the forest trolls forced the elves to retreat after losing some of their numbers.

As a deity worshipped by forest trolls, the small skeleton received adoration from all forest trolls. Han Shuo then gave instructions to the old priest and took all the luxury items they had snatched from the McGrady Guild. On the grounds of observing potential targets, he left the forest troll along with the small skeleton and the lewd dragon Gilbert.

Han Shuo arrived at the grave of death after a few days of walking. Because of the contract, Han Shuo was not afraid of Gilbert spilling his secret and taking it straight to the grave of death. When Gilbert discovered that Han Shuo had a death grave, a series of words licked out from his mouth and praised Han Shuo to the sky.

“Alright, you stay here temporarily and rest. I'll come see you if I have any instructions. “Han Shuo did not pay attention to Gilbert's excitement and went through the transportation matrix. He returned to the capital of the Ossen Empire.

Han Shuo finds Emily's mark right after walking out of the grave of death. This cave was where Han Shuo placed the transportation matrix to transport in and out of the grave of death. Only Emily knew about it other than Han Shuo.

From Emily's message, Han Shuo finds out that Emily came looking for her and wants her to contact Chester at Dark Mantle as soon as he returns from the grave of death.

He took the transportation stick from the ground and did not return to the Academy, but instead made the Dark Mantle fortress instead.

“Oh, you finally showed up! Madame Emily has been looking for you many times. I've also been to Your Academy to search for you but can't find any trace of you. In the end, Miss Emily told me to stay here and said You'd call me. To think that you actually showed up! “Because, bandit guard Chester walked out when Han Shuo arrived at the Dark Mantle fortress and began to shout in spirit.

“Is something wrong that Emily searched for me with great urgency?” Han Shuo asked suspiciously when he saw Chester's anxious face.

Chester nodded and shook his head, speaking with a sour face, “Something must have happened, but Madam Emily did not tell Me specifically what had happened.”

“Then, what did Emily say to you?” Han Shuo knew that Emily would not tell Chester any information he had no right to know, and thus asked about Emily's instructions for Chester.

“Soon leave the capital with me. We have to get to Valen City. Madame Emily should have been there. “Chester responded and then added,” Mistress Emily told me to take you to Valen City and contact her through the organization. He will explain in detail to you then. ”

The city of Valen was on the western border of the Empire and was separated from Kasi Kasi by the Kerlan Grand Canyon. The Imperial Gryphon Legion was stationed there to defend against the Kasi Kasi.

Han Shuo was only aware of Dark Mantle's true strength when they were traveling. Han Shuo and Chester used Dark Mantle's transportation matrix to directly travel to Valen City from within Dark Mantle's headquarters.

When the two arrive in Valen City and contact the local Dark Mantle members, the local members immediately prepare a train for them when they hear the two are in business for Emily. The carriage went straight to the hotel where Emily was staying.

The land of Valen City was bad, so the entire city would only be busy with activity when the Lancelot Empire went to war with the Kasi Empire. But after years of war, the originally impoverished city of Valen became increasingly poor. Many locals have moved to other places and continue to trade with the army.

Han Shuo hadn't seen Emily in quite a long time. Emily stayed in an elegant room inside the spacious hotel and angrily wrote something. He was very happy when he saw Han Shuo, but it became serious when he saw Chester following behind him, “Chester, you wait outside first, I have a few words for Han Shuo.”

Chester was not happy at all and backed away respectfully. He stood guard outside for Han Shuo and Emily, preventing others from interrupting their conversation.

“I've left instructions with forest trolls. Anyone who came to buy siege weapons would be able to do so. ”Han Shuo walked straight towards Emily and arrived at the burning brazier side.

“Our target this time is the Gryphon Legion. According to our speculation, the head of the Gryphon Legion was planning to revolt. All I need to do is gather evidence. “Emily did not hide anything and directly voiced their plans.

Han Shuo started to get scared but then felt joy slowly forming inside. As sons of the head of the Gryphon Legion, Claude and Clark had long since formed a deep grudge with Han Shuo. Claude had died at his hands and Clark had tried to kill him before. Looks like he could kill Clark during the mission this time as well.

“Why does the head of the army want to rebel?” Although he was happy, Han Shuo did not forget the task at hand and asked in a daze.

“His Majesty's health continues to decline, becoming worse and worse. The two princes were not worth much and neither of them could really gain his trust. Surprisingly, the head of the Gryphon Legion petitioned His Majesty for his daughter to marry his son, Clark. Although His Majesty ultimately rejected him, the village chief still held great military power in his hands, and the motive of his plea remained unclear. ”

“The Dark Mantle later found that his movements had become somewhat suspicious. They seem to indicate that she has some contact with Kasi Kasi. Our goal is to gather as much evidence as possible. As long as we have enough evidence, my brother will personally make a move and capture the head of the Gryphon Legion. ”Emily looked at Han Shuo and explained.

“Then, what should we do next?” Since Emily knew the specific details of this mission much better than Han Shuo, she did not dare to express an opinion and directly asked Emily.

“According to our Dark Mantle observations, a storm seems to be brewing within the Empire. Kasi Kasi watches over us with greedy eyes, and seems to be preparing to launch a ferocious attack as soon as His Majesty dies. The head of the Gryphon Legion will not move immediately, but since you have already given orders to the forest trolls, I think the siege weapons stolen from the McGrady Union will appear in Valen City for too long. ”

“This collection of siege weapons could be what Gryphon Legion leader Bob Ascher planned when attacking the palace. As long as we can find this collection of siege weapons in their homes, we can capture them before they start their rebellion. ”Emily explained as she looked at Han Shuo.

“His son, Clark, is not in Valen City right now. I want to kill him first! “Han Shuo suddenly spoke in a low voice when he finished listening to Emily's words.

Emily began when she heard these words. He could not understand how Han Shuo would know Clark and moreover, hold such hatred for him."
