Chapter 70: To the Underworld

Less than three minutes after Sheola used the summoning crystal, all the higher-ups gathered in the central hall of the Notis Temple.

"I'm sure Sheora has already explained the situation to you in the summons crystal, and I'd like to know what you think." Artevans looked at the people in front of him and said in a serious tone.

"I think it's a good combination, and while there may be some risks, we can also get great rewards." Dvoga expressed his approval of joining forces with the Netherworld Royalty.

"I'm willing to go to the underworld whenever I need it, and if there is a fight at that time, I think I can come in handy." Ive's words follow his character as always.

"I will do my best to assist Lord Artevans in this operation." While Atlfis was negotiating with Thurban, Rusa had been in the inner space of Atvance, and she knew the whole process of the negotiation.

"Oh, that's great, if successful, a friendly relationship with the Netherworld would be of great benefit to the development of the demons. If the king tells me to go, I will be glad to go.'" Octeri still spoke in his pompous tone.

Eventually, all eyes fell on Kaina, who was leaning against the wall with her head bowed and silent.

Noticing that she was in the limelight, Kaina looked up and said nothing. But after a few seconds, probably knowing that Artevans wanted to know what she thought, as if he had made up his mind, he sighed and stood up straight.

"It's not bad to join forces with the Netherworld Royalty. I once went to the underworld, and the strength of the royal family at that time was not bad, but according to what Serban said, the situation of the royal family may not be good now. However, I don't think that the nobles will form a real alliance, in the end, the other nobles may only be a superficial alliance, and the situation within the Netherworld is much more complicated than that of our demons. As for the candidate to go to the underworld, I can't be interested in it.'" Kaina nodded apologetically to Atfans.

As the only person present who could be counted as an elder other than Aktri, Kaina's words were obviously much more valuable than her previous statements.

Besides, Artevans didn't actually plan to let Kaina go to the underworld, he wanted to go himself, but he definitely wouldn't be alone, he had to bring a capable assistant.

"In that case, then ......," Artevans stopped in the middle of his words.

He realized that there was something wrong with his first decision.

(Lord Artevans, as a wise king, it's not a good thing to trust only your own subordinates.) All of you here are more or less loyal to you, and if you don't trust you accordingly, your loyalty will gradually erod. )

Siola looked at Artevans, who stopped to think in the middle of speaking, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth.

"I'm sorry, I may have been a little reckless at first, but now I'm going to explain my arrangements to you." After thinking about it for a while, Artevans decided that he had made the right decision.

"Since this is the request of the prince of the Netherworld, and the other party has also shown some sincerity, then I plan to go to the underworld in person. Sheola, you come with me, and I think you can help me with what I may encounter next." Clearing his throat, Artevans spoke slowly to the people under the throne, and then looked at Siola.

"I am honored to have your recognition and trust, and I will do my best to help you." Sheola stepped forward and bowed to Atvance, saying, "I have a suggestion for Rusa to come with her, and I think at some point, she will play a role."

(After all, I also agree with my decision at the beginning, so give me a step, that's really thankful.) )

"In that case, Rusa, you also go to the underworld." Artevans smiled silently, gave Theola a look, and then turned to Rusa behind her.

"Yes." Rusa's response was blunt and brief.

"As for the others, Dvoga and Ivor, their duties remain the same, but they will strengthen their defenses during this time. Kaina, during my absence, the demons have bothered you to rule it all. Aktri, if there is an assistant on the other side of the cave who can take care of everything, you can assist Kaina in her work for the time being, and how you handle the two tasks is up to you."

After deciding on the candidate to go to the underworld, Artevans also conveyed some arrangements.

"Understood." Dvoga and Ivor did not hesitate to respond to Artevans.

"Assistant...... It would be nice if I could, but unfortunately, I didn't find anyone suitable as an assistant, and the ordinary members of the Black Hall were obviously not up to the task. I'll take care of everything, though.'" Aktri's words seemed to imply something, and Artevans could roughly understand what he meant.

Indeed, after the end of the war, the demons can be said to be short of manpower in all aspects, and it is obviously not a long-term solution to let Yaktri take care of the entire cave alone. After the trip to the underworld, Artevans will also have to think about the scarcity of personnel, to various degrees.

After the three of them responded to Atfans' arrangement, the hall fell silent again. Artevans sighed helplessly and looked at Kaina again, who was standing on the side.

"Yes." Kaina replied very blandly, after all, in Kaina's opinion, her own responsibilities have not changed, and they are still the same.

But judging from Kaina's expression, Artevans breathed a sigh of relief, it was not like a look of displeasure, Artevans could see from Kaina's face that the other party was very agreeable with his arrangement.

After all, after secretly taking care of the "Black Temple" for so many years, Kaina is stronger than Atfans in terms of leadership and governance skills in all aspects. Although Kaina seems indifferent to some things, she is quick to point out when faced with decisions that she disagrees with.

On the issue of Trier's reconstruction, many of Atfans's initial plans were ruthlessly rejected by Kaina, and it was only after many successive improvements that Kaina finally accepted Atfans's proposal.

Although Kaina is considered a subordinate of Atfans on the surface, in the final analysis, the status of the two is equal, and if you count the seniority, Kaina's status is higher. Artevans was still happy to be recognized by Kaina.

When everything was ready, Artevans said in a loud voice to the crowd, "In that case, let's go early tomorrow morning."

————————————

The next day, Trier, the twisted space leading to the underworld.

"Then, the affairs of the demon clan will be left to you." Before leaving, Artevans gave one last explanation to Kaina, who had come to see him off.

"This kind of thing, I don't need your special orders, I will also handle it. But it's you, don't disgrace your mother.'" In the absence of the others, Kaina was willing to say a few extra words to Artfans.

"What does this mean?" Kaina's words aroused Atfans' curiosity.

"In the past, the Black Hall had a certain relationship with the Netherworld, and my sister made a great contribution to facilitating the relationship between the two sides. Later, after my sister was executed, the connection between the demons and the Netherworld was completely severed. Kaina said, her eyes a little glazed, as if she was remembering something.

"Is that so...... Then I'm going to have to deal with it seriously.'" With that, Artevans turned around and prepared to enter the warped space.

"Be careful." Kaina looked at Atfans' back and whispered.

Although the voice was slight, Artevans seemed to hear it, raised his right hand and shook it, and followed Thrband into the warped space.

"Kaina-sama, you're not being frank." Sheola walked past Kaina, smiling.

"Hmph, you have to help him too." Kaina felt that she was being tricked by Sheola, and deliberately put on a face. Although she is very calm in front of outsiders, only Xiora knows that Kaina will still be very concerned about many things, but she will not reveal them easily.

"So, I'm leaving." Sheola said goodbye to Kaina and stepped into the warped space.

As for Rusa, she was in the inner space of Atvance from the beginning. Artevans decided that only on the surface would he and Sheora go to the underworld and leave Rusha in the shadows, and he would let Rusa act secretly when he really needed it.

In the warped space, Artevans felt that everything around him was changing rapidly, and a light gradually spread from afar, making Artevans unable to open his eyes for a while.

"Here we are, Your Majesty the Demon King." A moment later, the light was felt to fade, and Serban's voice rang out from the side.

Atfans opened his eyes and looked seriously at his surroundings.

The scene of the underworld is very different from the Underworld, and compared to the somewhat deserted Underworld, the Underworld gives Artevans a more comfortable feeling.

A river flowing with a fluorescent blue liquid, meadows and woods full of life. But what is the most different place from the Underworld, or the main color of the underworld. The dark green sky gave Atfans a good first impression, compared to the dark hell with red as the main color, the main color of the underworld is green with blue, giving people a gloomy feeling.

However, Artevans especially liked the feeling. At least, Artevans doesn't have a bad feeling about the underworld.

But soon, he noticed something. Turning around, he saw a simple but elegant house, surrounded by strange plants and fenced off by a fence. Since there are no other conspicuous buildings around the house, it seems that the house is a small manor in the middle of nowhere.

"For some reason, the old man can't teleport the two of them to the main city, this is the manor built by the eldest prince in the suburbs, and he likes to relax here on weekdays. If you don't mind, you can take a break here." Serban walked ahead and approached the house with Atfans and Sheola.

"It's okay, I'm not disgusted by this view, on the contrary, I appreciate the great prince's taste of life." The manor was indeed comfortable for Artevis, and he meant it.

Sheola also seemed pleased with the view, and looked around with a smile on her face.

In the middle of a few words, Artevans and Theola came to the door of the house.

Serban knocked softly on the door, "Your Highness Daisey, the guests of the Demon Clan have arrived."

Seconds later, the door opened, and a handsome-looking, silver-haired, personable-looking man appeared in front of Atfans and Sheola.

"Under the Netherworld Grand Prince, Daisey? Capone? Hades, I've been waiting for a long time, welcome both.'"
