The Great Demon King

Chapter 51 "Quiet after killing someone "

This was not the first time Han Shuo had killed someone, but compared to killing a forest troll, the impact Han Shuo's heart received from slaughtering Claude was incredible.

After all, forest trolls were a different race from him, and were famous robbers. Han Shuo killing them felt as natural as killing magical creatures, but Claude was completely different from them. Han Shuo was forced to kill him because he knew in his heart that if Claude did not die, Han Shuo could put all thoughts peacefully living his life in the future out of his mind.

Seeing Claude weaken and sag into a pool of blood, Han Shuo felt somewhat numb at that moment. There was an empty feeling in his heart, he did not hesitate as he moved, and only when he saw Claude die in front of him did a nervous feeling grow in Han Shuo.

Claude was a noble, and the youngest son of the commander of the Imperial Gryphon Legion. If news of this matter were to leak out, only death awaited Han Shuo.

Gazing at Claude's corpse, Han Shuo stared blankly into space for a while. His originally slightly panicked expression became increasingly stern and cold.

Finally, Han Shuo rearranged his clothes and stood up, walking up to Claude with a calm face and rummaging through his clothes. He poured some gold coins from his money bag, crystal cards, and some scattered medicine.

After thinking for a while, Han Shuo only kept his gold coins. He sets aside a potentially burdensome crystal card and other items belonging to Claude.

A small skeleton, holding a bone blade, appeared in front of Han Shuo after his spell was completed. Han Shuo searched for a quiet open ground as one person and one skeleton holding a bone knife and dagger spent several minutes digging a deep hole. After burying Claude inside the hole, Han Shuo carefully cleaned up the traces of blood that Claude had left behind. He even slowly covered the trail where he fell and rolled around.

Surrounding the forest and making sure that no clues were left behind, Han Shuo did not return to his original state. Instead, he made an additional circle and dug a deep hole north of Drol, burying all of Claude's belongings. Finally, he returned to Drol using another path.

He did all of this because he was careful and cautious. They had not garnered anyone's attention on the way to the forest with Claude before because Claude had intentionally done so.

Now that Han Shuo had killed him and buried his body carefully, logically, no one had found him. Even if someone accidentally found Claude's body, Han Shuo had taken all the items from the body, creating the impression of murder in the course of a robbery. These things happen quite often in the city of Drol and should be able to cover up the reason for the original death.

After Han Shuo settled the matter, he hid himself around the hotel of Irene and the others for the next two days, quietly observing the movements of the calm big students. He discovers that whether it's Irene or Beacherer, none of them have come looking for Claude. It seemed like they thought Claude had made a mistake on them first and left him alone.

Claude was of course the one who best understood the condition of his body. No matter how he tried to explain under those circumstances, most likely not many would believe his words, and judging from the time in which Claude came for him and his understanding of psychedelic aphrodisiacs, he said, he more or less guessed that Claude had come looking for revenge as soon as he came to his senses, and had no time to explain anything to Irene or Beacher.

After two days of observation, Han Shuo finally relaxed and lowered his guard after seeing that Irene and Beacher did not move to look for Claude and only focused their attention on spending money when they visited the various weapons and armor suppliers and pharmacists.

At dusk tonight, Han Shuo did not dare to go out again to watch over Irene and Beacherer, but remained inside to secretly practice magic. He repeatedly expanded the width of his body's meridians and increased his flexibility.

Han Shuo sat gracefully on the edge of his bed, completely naked, sweat drenching his entire body, starting from his forehead. Tendons of his body surged as they glared out like endless worms moving on the surface of his body.It looked even more horrified worthy and terrifying than even the most evil tattoo.

During this entire process, a tremor suddenly flowed in Han Shuo's mind as he sunk into an unreasonable world. For now, he forgot himself, forgot the time, and was like a statue, devoid of life. Only a faint hint of black splendor circulated under his skin.

Dondondon.

A sudden round of knocking suddenly woke Han Shuo up. When Han Shuo returned to himself, he took the supplies himself internally and understood that he must have sunk into the mental state of the demon earlier.

Dondondon.

The knocking still continued and Han Shuo was somewhat irritated that his training was interrupted. He picked up a random towel and wrapped it around, saying exasperatedly, “Come. Arrival!”

When the door opened, Han Shuo received the shock of his life. The annoyed expression on his face disappeared without a trace as it immediately turned into a smiling face. He said cheerfully, “Eh, this is you. I've been waiting for you for a long time. You're finally back. ”

“You're Bryan, you really made it back to Drol a long time ago. We've been worried about you for a long time. Oh, how did you get the money to stay in such an expensive room? If it wasn't for the certainty of the owner, I really wouldn't believe that you're the one who lives in this room. “The clear eyes of Fanny swept over Han Shuo and he spoke with a slight bite to his words.

“Bryan, what happened the day you left? You didn't come back for two days and I thought something happened to you? “Kata Lisa's.

“I got lost after I left, and when I found the original camp, I found out that you were long gone. I can't find you guys, so I'm one step ahead and return to Drol city to wait for you. Thankfully, everyone is fine. That was amazing. “Han Shuo smiled slightly and faintly explained himself.

Fanny looked at Han Shuo, thought for a moment and spoke to Lisa beside him. “Lisa, go and finish arranging rooms with Master Gene and the others. I have a few things to talk to Bryan about. ”

Lisa looked at Fanny suspiciously and said, “Master Fanny, that incident has passed long enough. Bryan even saved our lives ... do you still hold a grudge against him? ”

Her face flushed red when Fanny heard Lisa mention the last time. She said angrily, “No, I have something else to talk to her about. Go pick a room for me and I'll be over soon. ”

Lisa still did not feel comfortable after hearing Fanny's explanation, but did not say anything more as she turned to leave, muttering something in her mouth.

As soon as Lisa left, Fanny turned her gaze to Han Shuo and looked at the room she had once lived in, seemingly remembering what happened the last time when her cheeks were flushed even redder. He humped lightly and said, “Are you not going to invite me in?”

“Eh, Mr. Fanny, please pass here.” Han Shuo was startled and hurriedly turned his body to the side. When Fanny stepped inside, she stuck her head out to look into the hallway and hurriedly closed the door, as if she was acting with a guilty conscience.

“What are you doing secretly? I'm asking you, what happened the day after you left the camp? How do you have the gold coins to stay in this room? “Fanny nailed Han Shuo with a patrol look after he sat down.

Han Shuo still had not fully recovered from Claude's murder. After hearing Fanny's words, she was a little surprised. He thought for a while and then explained with a laugh, “When I left the camp that day, I remained near there to practice necromancy magic. I met the Windblade Wolf who was injured afterwards. I continued chasing after the injured Windblade Wolf and ended up killing him when it did not notice. When I got back to camp, I walked back here after I realized that you were gone.

After returning to Drol, I sold the core and pelt of Windblade Wolf. That's how I got the gold coins. I thought you guys would stay here again after returning, which is why I rented a room to wait for you guys. Here's what happened.”

Fanny did not directly speak after Han Shuo finished, but looked at Han Shuo with a clear mind. He exhaled lightly after a while, “Bryan, you are really very different from before!”

He started and managed to bring out an honest smile. He scratched his head, “Really? Where am I different? ”

“In many things. Your appearance, body, and height, as well as your personality and expression when You speak are much different from how I knew You before. It seems like you are the one who changed the most after experiencing the ordeal in the Dark Forest. All the students have undergone some changes after constantly facing life and death battles, but who would have thought that your changes would be the greatest? How surprising! ”Fanny looked at Han Shuo stupidly and said with an annoyed face.

Han Shuo understood that during this time the streets of the Dark Forest, unbeknownst to him, changes had actually occurred in the way he looked at things. This change accompanied the increase in strength and danger he faced. After killing Claude with his own hands the day before yesterday and a serious round of reflection, Han Shuo had gained a clearer understanding of the harsh reality of this world, and with it, Han Shuo had gained a clearer understanding of the harsh reality of this world, his heart became colder and more cruel.

“Master Fanny, you left a message saying that you have met two man-eating monsters. Did you get into a conflict with them in the end? “Han Shuo laughed lightly and did not explain things further, but started asking Fanny what happened to them after that.

“Of course, two man-eating monsters keep following us. They even colluded with some forest trolls to attack us. We finally made it, but our path diverged significantly from our original direction as we avoided man-eating monsters and forest trolls. That's why we returned to Drol so late, “ replied Fanny.

Nodding, Han Shuo was about to open his mouth, when he suddenly frowned and suddenly stood up. He said with a face full of seriousness, “It looks like we got into trouble.”

“Everyone's on guard! Orc wolf riders have appeared in the southern part of Drol. They were heading here, everyone was getting ready for battle! ”

Huge screams suddenly rang out from the streets outside the hotel, all related to the imminent invasion of the orc wolf riders.
