The Great Demon King

Chapter 87 "Joining the Dark Mantle organization "

After parting ways with Phoebe, Han Shuo returned directly to the Academy. However, he once again avoided entering through the front gate and decided to enter through a remote corner of the mountain behind.

Han Shuo suddenly became wary in the forest that he had spent time with Phoebe last time, an inexplicable feeling of unease surfaced in his heart. This shock made Han Shuo immediately release his three original demons. They flew out from the back of his neck and patrolled the entire forest, but found nothing.

The uncomfortable feeling did not go away after the original demon failed to find anything. That extremely uncomfortable feeling grew even stronger, making Han Shuo extremely wary.

The Demonslayer Edge appeared in his hand, Han Shuo took a deep breath and adjusted his facial expression to be his best. He tried to use his own senses to detect abnormalities in the surroundings and exclaimed, “Who is that? Come outside! ”

Han Shuo just randomly called with this line and didn't really think that anything would happen, because if it was the enemy, it was not, enemies at this level would definitely not appear just because Han Shuo had summoned.

But unexpectedly, a low and terrifying laughter sounded from the dense forest as soon as he finished speaking. A human form slowly formed in front of Han Shuo in the shadows of the large tree.

“Nak, you have a good level of consciousness. How did you find my existence? ”When the figure in the shadow of the tree had materialized, a cruel-looking old man, who was very tall, skinny, and dressed in gray clothes, walked out. The old man's beard was gray and his eyes were gray. They looked really dead.

“Because of my instincts, who are you?” Han Shuo gripped Demonslayer Edge firmly and watched the approaching old man with a hostile gaze, ready to make a move at any moment.

“I can give you the chance of a lifetime. I'm acquainted with Mr. Phoebe and means you don't harm, you don't need to be nervous! “Han Shuo could feel a strong sense of danger coming out from this person. This was probably the strongest person he had met since coming to this world. Han Shuo even felt that if the old man made a move, he would find it difficult to escape.

“Phoebe? So Phoebe sent you, what do you mean by all this? ”Han Shuo curbed his impulse to escape this person and asked with a dark face.

The old man suddenly stopped in his tracks and did not continue. He just stood there, sizing up Han Shuo, like he was observing an item he expected to sell for a high price. He continued to nod his head and a smile appeared on his face after a while, but when this smile floated out from his cruel face, it only made people feel that his face was becoming more and more sinister.

“Phoebe doesn't know about my whereabouts, but I know everything about your recent actions. I'm hearing a conversation between you and Phoebe right now and have an offer to make you, but if you choose this path, you can get everything you want, You can get everything you want, but you can also die very quickly. ”The old man said slowly as he looked at Han Shuo.

“Who are you?” Han Shuo was a bit lost and did not know what the old man wanted. He asked again immediately.

“Bryan ... The old man died when he was young and was then sold to the necromancy major of the Babylonian Academy of Magic and Power by his uncle to become a slave. Six years as a child. Start displaying amazing abilities during the streets to the Dark Forest and seem to have other amazing ways of training besides training necromancy magic.. ”

Han Shuo's heart slowly sank as the old man began to list the details of his life. Apart from some secrets relating to the small skeleton and the Death Tomb, most of the deeds he experienced in this period of time were all discovered. This made Han Shuo feel that a pair of eyes were fixed on him in the darkness, and fear arose in his heart.

“Who are you?” This was the third time he had asked about the old man's origin.

“I called Candide and I belong to the Empire's ‘Gelap Mantle’ organization which directly replied His Majesty. Heh heh, there is a secret organization behind every country. I think you understand the need for the existence of such an organization. People from ‘Shadow Ghost’ have appeared in the Boozt Merchant Guild several times now. You guys have caused a huge disturbance. Do you really think that we won't know anything? “The old man Candide looked at Han Shuo with a faint grin as he said slowly.

Han Shuo was very surprised after he heard these words and sighed in silence when he finally realized that he was really still too naive. He had never heard of “Dark” Mantles, but soon understood after Candide's explanation that this organization should be similar to the Western Depot and the Eastern Depot of the Ming Dynasty, a government agency that directly answered His Majesty, the Emperor.

“I want to absorb you into our Dark Mantle. I've been investigating your birth closely and thought there shouldn't be a problem. I've also been watching you lately and feel that your work style and special abilities will allow you to handle ‘Dark Mantle’ jobs with competence. If you join ‘Mantel Hitam’ and achieve exemplary achievements for the Empire, you can get everything you want. “Candide looked at Han Shuo and gave this invitation.

Han Shuo's eyebrows came together and considered it carefully. Candide's invitation is not as simple as it looks on the surface, but with Han Shuo's status and strength, if a large organization like “Dark” Coat wants to make a move against him, it will be, only death will exist in his future.

There was a path ahead of him now, and although dangerous, his goal was far, and filled with uncertain factors, it was indeed an opportunity. This inflicted a strong temptation on the now extremely ambitious Han Shuo. After weighing his gains and losses, Han Shuo felt that he did not seem to have much of a choice.

Han Shuo nodded firmly after a while and said lowly, “I accept.”

“Great! Although you may be placed in a more dangerous situation in the future, as long as you can climb up high enough, you can climb up, You will have the opportunity to see beautiful scenery that many people will never be able to see in their lives. “Candide laughed lightly and took out an iron badge, handing it to Han Shuo. “This is a badge that symbolizes our status as a member of ‘Dark’ Coat. Get rid of it carefully, You are under My command from today onwards. Your first mission is to keep an eye on Duke's movements. Oh, he's a wind archer who flew out of the house that you guys brought ‘Shadow Ghost’ members last night. ”

There is a certain weight to the black iron badge, with the words “Dark” coat carved on the back. There is also a crown carved in the back. The crown floated above a patch of black clouds and was also black in color.

“Who is Duke, where is he now, and how should I keep an eye on his movements?” Han Shuo was very surprised and wondered how the Duke would be astonished if he discovered that Han Shuo was constantly watching him. He might even guess that “Dark Eyes” is with Han Shuo. If Han Shuo had to keep an eye on Duke, then he himself would also bear an even greater risk.

With hesitation, Candide explained, “Duke is not a person from our Lancelot Empire. He is from Kasi Kasi and is here as a representative of the Maya School of Magic from Kasi Kasi. He is here to conduct a magical knowledge exchange with your Babylon Magic and Power Academy. Of course, all of these were the reasons that came up. Their true purpose was not this, but they had hidden it well. We don't know what they're doing right now. That's why we need someone to keep an eye on them. ”

“Because of that, he will visit your Academy often during this time. As a student inside, you are the most comfortable person to watch over him. Oh right Since you have joined ‘Dark’ Coat, no more killers from ‘Hantu’ Shadows will bother you. I'll tell them to behave themselves. ”

Nodding, Han Shuo said, “I understand. All right, I'll keep an eye on Duke's movements. How can I find you if I find something abnormal? ”

“This is our three fortresses within the Empire. Destroy this after you see it. This badge represents your identity and you can use it to exchange information with others in the castle. However, your level is too low so far and you will not have the right to ask about many things. If you can ascend to a higher status, you will be able to use the resources of ‘Dark’ Coat and can even deploy Imperial troops. Heh heh, you have to work hard. ”Candide said to Han Shuo.

A thin piece of paper landed on Han Shuo's palm. He looked once and tore it apart in front of Candide after he memorized the contents. He then said, “Alright, my mind is a mess now and I need time to think. I'll report to you if Duke does anything extraordinary. ”

“Mm. I'm going to leave right now. Members of ‘Mantel Dark’ have a lot of freedom. We will not interfere in your personal affairs, and will only come to you when there is a mission that needs to be done. We will not affect your life under normal conditions. “Candide was surrounded by clouds of black fog and his figure became increasingly dim. A thin magic pulse shot out from the mist, and he then vanished from Han Shuo's sight as a gentle breeze blew, as if he had never appeared.

Han Shuo had clearly identified what he needed under Phoebe's persuasion not too long ago. Who would have thought that the olive branch would be extended as soon as he left Phoebe. She joined this “Mantel Dark” organization after a discussion with Candide. This made Han Shuo subtly feel that something was wrong, and he began to suspect whether Phoebe knew about Candide's whereabouts or not. If not, this is just a coincidence.

However, even if Phoebe and Candide get acquainted with each other, then Grover would be nothing in the face of Candide's overwhelming power. Phoebe also won't have much trouble. This made Han Shuo confused as well.

Han Shuo carefully sorted through his thoughts within the forest and discussed everything that had happened recently in his mind. He then set off towards the Academy grounds again with a display of resolution.
