Chapter 207: The Long Night

"Who sent you?" Seeing that Ruiz was almost recovered, I couldn't help but ask.

"I can't say his name..."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"It's because I'm afraid of death that I don't dare to say it," Ruiz said with a wry smile.

"Is that guy really that good?" I'm a little curious.

"It's better than you..."

"And what is its purpose?"

"Like you, resurrect the Demon King once and for all and end the reign of the gods."

"But... But I've never thought of it that way!?"

Ruiz was stunned for a moment, and then looked at me with a monster look for a long time...

"Don't you think such a lie is too low-level?"

"Yes, but the problem is that I'm not lying, on the contrary, what I've been trying to do is to prevent the Demon King from resurrecting."

"Then why are you collecting the soul of the Demon King everywhere?"

"That's to prevent it from falling into the hands of people with ulterior motives... Does that sound like a lie again?" I smiled bitterly and said, some things in this world are so ironic, sometimes you tell the truth, but no one believes it, on the contrary, some people are full of lies, but they have a large number of fans, and sometimes I even doubt whether honesty is a virtue.

"You... It's really peculiar..."Reze hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a tone that even he wasn't sure about.

"Maybe, that's what most people who know me say anyway..."

"So you're not here for this "thing"?" Ruiz said, gesturing to the pillar behind him.

"Of course, I just found out that this thing was here..."

"So that guy lied to me?" Ruiz muttered to himself.

"Who the hell is that guy?"

"I really can't say this, if I let that guy know that I betrayed him, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"If you don't say it, who can know?"

"If you don't know, you can't do anything unless you don't do it~" Ruiz couldn't help but smile meaningfully when he said this, I was stunned at first, but I quickly guessed what he was afraid of.

"Demon Eye, I thought no one knew this forbidden art anymore..."

"I said that guy is not easy to deal with."

"So he can hear all our conversations?"

"That's right."

"That's easy..."Hearing this, I couldn't help but close my eyes slightly, I didn't pay attention to it before because the canyon was full of evil energy, but at this moment, after Ruiz reminded me that I really caught a trace of strange evil energy, and its feeling was somewhat similar to my own magic power, I hurriedly traced the source of this magic power, but soon the other party noticed it, and actually stopped the spell halfway, and suddenly the clue was broken again.

"What a cunning fellow!" I muttered quietly, not too disappointed, after all, I didn't expect to find out the whereabouts of the other party so smoothly in the first place, not to mention that the tracking just now was not nothing, at least it had confirmed some of my previous guesses.

"I can't help but lean into Ryze's ear and whisper the name, and then look at the other person's expression and change instantly.

"How do you know?"

"Actually, I'm not very easy to deal with..."Speaking of which, I couldn't help but laugh myself.

"I'd love to say that, but I've actually heard about it from others..."

Ruiz stared at me for a long time, and finally couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed that you were the Demon King..."

"Coincidentally, most of the people who know me say this too."

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask now?"

"By the way, what's the matter with those scrolls and that gourd? It looks like they've been specially prepared for me."

"Those scrolls have been passed down from generation to generation by our Azi servants, and my ancestors calculated through the heavens that you will be resurrected sooner or later, and the entire human world will be destroyed at that time, so they have taken precautions and researched these scrolls to restrain you, but since we have never had the opportunity to test them, even we don't know if these scrolls are effective for you, but after all, they are the relics of our ancestors, so we have passed them down from generation to generation, as for the gourd... It was given to me by "that guy", and it seems to be specially used against you..."

"Looks like he's really trying to deal with me."

"I said long ago that guy is very difficult, okay, it's almost the right thing to ask, what are you going to do with us?"

"What do you say?"

"It's common sense that you'll turn us into slaves even if you don't kill us, but it's clear that you can't use common sense to deduce..."

"That's right, it stands to reason that what you did in this canyon alone is that it is impossible to solve the hatred in my heart, but in the final analysis, you are also obedient to others, and I also want you to bring a message to "that guy", so I will spare your life this time."

"Thank you~"

"You don't seem surprised by that?"

"Based on your previous style, I guess that's probably the case, you're a loyal man."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"I'm not praising you, we Azi servants have a proverb - loyalty is often a useless alias, if you are always so merciful to all enemies, sooner or later you will regret it~"

"Is this advice from an opponent?"

"Then it's up to you how you interpret it."

"I see, although I don't agree too much, but I will try to take it as much as possible in the future."

"Okay, what are you going to ask us to bring?"

"My next destination is the Wizard's Tower."

"It's as simple as that?"

"yes, if that guy is really as good as you say, it should understand what that means."

"I see..."

Hearing Ruiz say this, I slowly let go of my hand, and as soon as the other party landed, he hurriedly rubbed his neck with his hand, and it was obvious that I could see the bright red finger prints on it, which showed the power of my pinch just now.

"Then we'll take our leave~" Ruiz rested for a while and seemed to regain his strength, nodded at me, and walked past us with some hesitation.

"Wait!" Hearing me shout like this, Ruiz was shocked, obviously thinking that I had another plan.

"After killing so many people without even apologizing, do you think it's appropriate to just leave?"

Ruiz was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he was not the kind of unreasonable person after all, he hesitated for a while, and finally turned around and bowed deeply to Ash and the others: "I am deeply sorry for everything that happened today, and I dare not ask for your forgiveness, if I meet you again in the future, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

'Hmph~" Ash sneered when he heard this, turned his head and didn't want to deal with Ruiz at all, the latter was also interesting, and he didn't think much when he saw this, so he turned around and gestured to Morgana and the others in mid-air, and then the group quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

When they were all far away, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, there were so many things happening tonight, almost one after another, so that people didn't even have a chance to breathe, after resting for a while, I began to be busy with the aftermath, first checked the injuries of the princess and others, thank God everyone was not lightly injured, but they were not fatal, with my magic power it took less than a meal to make everyone basically recover, and then we untied Ash and their shackles, and helped treat their injured kindred, Fortunately, the orcs were already quite strong, so the treatment went much smoother than the princesses, and by the time everything was done, the sky was gradually bright. It's been a long night...
