The Great Demon King

Chapter 79 "Through the limits "

There were only two swordsmen left, one senior swordsman and one day worker. Phoebe alone was enough to make the two of them unable to escape death. Han Shuo turned around just speeding up their deaths.

With a flash of his spatial ring, Han Shuo held the arrow in his hand and attached an arrow bolt to the rope. He had already targeted one of them, and shot the back of the senior swordsman as they suddenly started to retreat and wanted to bring themselves out of the fight.

The senior swordsman, who was planning to leave had to back down and block the bolts, but by the time he destroyed the bolts, Phoebe was already standing in front of him.

The small skeleton that had stabbed the fire mage to death held the bag in his left hand, leaping down from the roof with a whooshing sound. After his skeleton staggered slightly, he was already standing with a dagger in hand in front of the other swordsman.

As Han Shuo stepped in with a cold smile, one of the swordsmen suddenly pulled his longsword around his neck and fell down.

“This is the people of ‘Shadow Ghost’. If they knew that there was no way out for them, they would choose to end their own lives! “Phoebe shook her head, kept the long sword in her hand back to the space ring and said with a frown.

The small skeleton had arrived in front of the two corpses at this moment and started searching for them with practiced movements. When two more bags hung on his left hand, he walked happily to Han Shuo with a bone dagger in hand, offering three bags for Han Shuo.

Grazing the small skeletal skull with a faint smile, Han Shuo took out three bags and cursed after one glance. “Damn, three poor sods. They only had ten or so gold coins! ”

Turning his eyes towards her with a bad temper, Phoebe did not look for the corpses and directly said to Han Shuo. “I've never seen someone as greedy as you. Don't bother looking for their bodies, you won't find anything. People from ‘Hantu’ Shadow never bring anything important with them when they go on missions, so forget it, they will not bring any wealth to you. ”

Han Shuo cursed again when he heard Phoebe's words and chanted a spell to send the small skeleton back. He then grinned and asked gently, “Didn't you go with Andrew? Why did you suddenly come back? ”

“You injured?” Phoebe was startled and immediately rushed over to Han Shuo. When he saw the blood wound left behind by the wind sword on Han Shuo's body, he immediately revealed a worried expression. The space ring on his finger lit up and some gauze appeared on his hand. He did not dodge as he said softly, “Don't move!”

It was rare for Han Shuo to see Phoebe showing such an expression, and he felt touched within it. He stood there foolishly, not moving at all and looked at Phoebe carefully applying the medicine to her wound, then using gauze to wrap everything up for her.

When Phoebe finished, she pulled Han Shuo and exhaled him lightly. “You really know how to choose a place. Two castles were on two sides of this alley and both families came out. No one came out even after the violent fights, it seemed like his house had yet to be sold. However, we can't stay here long. Although the security was not very strict here, guards would still patrol the area after a while. It would be better if we left early. ”

“Come go.” Han Shuo agreed and left with Phoebe, rushing to the northern part of the city. He asked along the way, “Oh, right, You still haven't told Me, why did you suddenly come back?”

Seeing no one around him, Phoebe frowned and said in a low voice, “Grandma told me on the train that Grover had made a transaction with the barbarian Orcs, and had actually sold the Empire's weapons to them. The implications of this matter were enormous, and if the Empire knew, they would not let go easily.”

“Grover should know that if I were in charge of the Guild, he wouldn't be able to cover this up anyone. So he had to kill me before I controlled the Guild. Otherwise this matter was revealed, as powerful as he was, Grover would have difficulty escaping the Empire's punishment. As soon as I found out about this, I knew that he would try to kill you first. I was worried about you, so I left Grandpa Andrew halfway to find you. ”

Nodding, Han Shuo said, “So that's why. No wonder Grover wanted to kill us so quickly. It seems like once you have the evidence in hand, Grover will be finished without a doubt. ”

“Fright!” Phoebe laughed coldly, but then sighed as she thought. “However, Ellis has learned my strength this time. I think Grover will think of a plan and even I'll find it hard to deal with the next assassination attempt. ”

Han Shuo knew that his strength was limited, if even Phoebe could not handle the matter, then he would not have much effect either. The only thing he can do to help Phoebe is with his wits against the killer. He thought for a moment and said, “I'll be gone for a while. I'll come find you when my wounds heal. Grover is our common enemy now, I know what to do. ”

“Alright, but don't go back to the Academy, no matter what you do. Since Grover knows your identity, you will face tremendous danger if you stay in the Academy the next few days! ”

Phoebe pondered and said to Han Shuo.

Nodding his head in understanding, Han Shuo told Phoebe to be careful and go alone. The three real demons accompanied him, but found no other interference until Han Shuo came to the grave behind the Academy.

After returning to the grave of death, Han Shuo trained his magic for a while. A cool feeling circled his wounds as he circulated his magical yuan, and his pain feeling was greatly reduced.

After a short nap, it was already noon the next day. Since all the materials had been collected now, Han Shuo left the death grave excitedly and headed towards the dwarf village. He was planning on asking the head dwarf Calvin to fake the Demonslayer Edge for him.

The village of Katai is located in a small mountain valley. There were huge trees covering the entrance of the village. If not for the fact that Han Shuo had traveled here with the dwarves, he would have been hard pressed to find their place.

Han Shuo was now quite familiar with the route and came to the dwarf village after a while. He slipped past the towering trees, and a dwarf, who stood guard with a sharp axe in front of the village immediately called out in a friendly voice, “Oh! Good friend, you came to visit us again! ”

The dwarves lived in wooden huts they made themselves, and some also lived in empty tree holes. There were only about a hundred dwarves in that village. Women and children were half that number, and the fighters, who could actually fight, were not many in number.

Han Shuo had won the true friendship of the dwarves during this period of time. They were very generous towards Han Shuo. Every time he came, there was always wine and meat welcoming him, making him feel very touched.

“Han, why do you have time to stop by?” Calvin said cheerfully to Han Shuo.

Taking the material Phoebe prepared from the space ring, Han Shuo handed it to Calvin, saying, “Elder, this is the material you requested. There were also sufficient black metal ores. Can you make a weapon for me? ”

Calvin took the materials from Han Shuo and looked at him carefully, saying in surprise, “Of course, of course. With enough materials to make a great weapon, this is a happy thing for us. Don't worry Han, we'll start working on it tomorrow. We'll be able to fake a weapon for you in about a week, and you'll be sure to be satisfied with it. ”

Han Shuo actually heaved a sigh of relief with his guarantee and immediately expressed his sincere gratitude to Calvin. The low grievances of some female dwarves came from afar. Han Shuo's ears were sharp, and he subconsciously listened to her carefully.

“Ai, it'll be winter soon. We never guaranteed food in the big snow, and the head has been pulled from the store many times to take care of guests. At this rate, how are we going to survive the winter? ”

“Yes, I also heard that the cursed man-eating monsters have been around lately. Looks like they're out for loot and attack to get through the winter. If they find our village, we have to move again. When will these days end! ”

The conversations of the female dwarves were all completely accepted by Han Shuo. He's a little touched. It looked like the lives of the dwarves were not as good as he thought, but even so, they still took the best food to treat it. It makes him feel very guilty.

He thought for a moment and sighed lightly, saying to Calvin, “old, do you not treat me as a friend?”

“Han, why would you say such a thing? Have we treated you badly? ”Bennett, who was very friendly towards Han Shuo, was the first to exclaim in shock and look at him in fear before Calvin had a chance to open his mouth.

Shaking his head, Han Shuo sighed, “Why should you worry about food and man-eating monsters, but refuse to tell Me, your friend, about such things?”

“This will not happen, because the elder wants to take out the winter ration to treat me, as your friend, I have to do something. Don't worry, I'll head to human society and help you solve the problem of the winter ration. What else do you need apart from this? I can bring everything for you. ”

“How can we allow this? Even though we are friends, we cannot trouble you. We also want to buy these items in human society, but there is a long stretch of Dark Forest between here and human society. Not only are there attacks from supernatural beings on the way, but we may experience adventurers with ill intentions. This is why we have to stay here. ”

“Han, I know that if you buy those things for us, it will definitely cost you a little money for it. We won't trouble you like this. I think we will work a little harder and still get through this winter, “ Calvin said.

“This is decided. I'll help you think of a way to deal with the problem of winter rations and the threat of man-eating monsters. Concentrate on forging weapons and leave the rest to me. ”

Han Shuo made some internal calculations. There were about a hundred or so in the entire village of Katai. He may have to take several trips to bring the amount of food they need to the grave of death, based on how much food the space ring can hold. If he were to buy food from Phoebe, he might not need to spend a lot of gold coins. It was just an easy help to do, and Han Shuo was naturally happy to do it for the dwarves.

“Thank you very much. I thank you on behalf of my son and the mothers in the village! “A female dwarf suddenly heard Han Shuo's guarantee when she brought the fruit and was so touched that she immediately thanked Han Shuo with respect from the dwarves.

“You were dismissed,” scolded Calvin, and then also said with gratitude, “Han, we only created good wine and forged weapons. Since we have little contact with humans, we don't have many gold coins. We are willing to make some quality wine and forge some weapons for you instead, otherwise I won't be able to accept your goodwill! ”

Although Han Shuo was not lustful with their wine and weapons, but he understood that with the stubborn anger of the dwarves, they were unwilling to accept his help for no reason at all. He finally accepted after thinking for a while.

With the promise of the winter ration from Han Shuo, all the dwarves were very excited. Even Calvin drank wholeheartedly with Han Shuo, a rare event. He had to say that the wine made by the dwarves was really very sweet. Even the delicious wine that Han Shuo drank last night at the Boozt Merchant Guild banquet could not compare.

Han Shuo was in a very good mood after confirming his Demonslayer Edge, and drinking all night with the dwarves. However, since he practiced magic, he was already completely unconscious under the use of the magic yuan when he left the dwarf village. He maintained a state of high alert as he travelled back to the grave of death.

Before meditating, Han Shuo thought for a while and decided to once again explore the boundary that stopped Han Shuo from descending to the lower levels of the grave of death. He wanted to see if he could break through that barrier with his current level of mental strength.

After using the round green ball to open the passageway, Han Shuo focused his mental strength and suddenly buried it. A piercing pain immediately filled his mind, but as he got used to the pain inflicted by the round green ball during practice, Han Shuo lifted down under the onslaught. He circulated his magical yuan to the highest level and dug it down.
