Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Salvation Chapter 116: Stay

The news of Giessen's success in repelling the Origin Demon soon spread throughout Roqueshire.

Li Xuan also felt in a trance after hearing the news, he didn't expect that such a town that had almost been abandoned could actually survive the attack of the Origin Demon Clan.

Is there anyone who helps?

As the director of the Monster Bureau and the leader of the Demon Hunting Team, the first thing he thought of was the man who had scared them for half a month not long ago.

Yu Dongshui, escaped from the dungeon of the Demon Hunting Association, and then reincarnated as a great magician who disappeared like evaporation from the world.

Although it was initially believed that this person had some connection with the attack of the Origin Demon Race, this idea was quickly rejected by the people of the Demon Hunting Association.

And now, without any support, a town with almost defenseless strength can actually block the attack of the Origin Demon Clan, which makes Li Xuan think of this person again.

Since the Demon Hunting Association is sure that the reincarnation of the Great Mage will not be in the same league as the Origin Demon, then it is very likely that this man is helping humans fight against the Demon Race.

It is a good thing that so many people can be saved, but in such a position, if they still want to hunt down this people's hero, is it a little inappropriate?

The anxious Li Xuan waited for the invitation of the demon hunter, which was a letter from the president of the demon hunting association who was temporarily staying in the city of Rockshire.

Roughly speaking, the Demon Hunter Association decided to support the town of Giessen, and casually confirmed the reason why it succeeded in defending the town for the first time.

In the end, he also made a special explanation that it was possible that the reincarnation of the Great Magician haunted the vicinity, which coincided with him.

But now the monster bureau is in a state of change, because a few days ago he was exposed by the inner ghost and falsely accused himself of deliberately concealing the news of the reincarnation of the great magician and escaped, resulting in he, the director of the monster bureau, being attacked by almost the whole city, and it is not difficult to see that there are also some malicious people behind this who are fanning the flames.

Li Xuan is not a stubborn person, he naturally listens to Li Zijie's words.

The opposition led by Ding Yujian has quietly formed within the Monster Bureau, waiting for the right moment to give itself a fatal blow.

For whom is my sword wielded?

Recalling what the Governor of the Monster Province had said to him when he was in Iaul, Li Xuan seemed to have a vague answer.

Who is it for?

If it had been placed before, Li Xuan might not hesitate to agree.

But now he didn't mean to agree directly.

He put aside the daunting question and began to prepare for the support of the town of Giessen.

The Demon Hunting Team has almost existed in name only, and due to the sudden invasion of the Origin Demon Clan, Emperor Begelie urgently recalled Huangfu Jue and a group of Praetorian Guards.

This is an honorary team that has no sense of existence, and now only Li Xuan, the commander of the light pole, is left to support it.

I spared a circle, but I didn't expect to get nothing in the end, and returned to the original point.

At this rate, Junxi and the others should have already fought with the Origin Demon Clan.

Li Xuan pondered the events he had recently encountered while estimating all the events he knew.

Why is the world so chaotic all of a sudden?

From the reincarnation of the Great Magician, to the breakup between the royal family of the Beglie Empire and the Holy Emperor Church, and then to the Origin Demon Clan's opening of the path to the Harmen Kingdom in an instant.

All of this happened in the short two months that I didn't care about before.

The city of Rockshire, as the epicenter, was particularly affected.

Winter is about to begin, and supplies throughout the city are starting to strain.

If it drags on like this for a few more months, let alone resist the attack of the Origin Demon Clan, half of the people in the city will die of cold and hunger.

After all, the city of Roqueshire was the closest county to the southern ice wastes of the Begley Empire, and the average temperature was also the lowest in the world.

Human beings are so fragile that the slightest bit of chaos, both from the outside and from the inside, can cost countless people their lives.

"Li Xuan, I don't allow you to go to the front line. ”

Li Zijie, who had been sitting on a chair not far away, saw Li Xuan's face becoming more and more resolute.

"The Monster Bureau is already in turmoil, and without you in charge, there will only be more and more gossip against you. ”

The young man, who was born with heavy eyes, stood up and came to Li Xuan's face.

I have to say that this pair of double pupils is not only a beautiful ornament, but its owner also has far more insight than ordinary people.

Such insight, even for animals in the wild, may not be comparable to him.

Li Xuan didn't say anything like "I really can't hide it from you", after all, he was used to his mind being seen through by this person at a glance.

"I'm the only one in the Monster Bureau right now who is best suited to fight monsters, and the others are no different from the warriors who have died in other cities. ”

Now the Monster Bureau in Rock County can be described as withering talents.

Except for Li Xuan and Li Zijie, two genius-level figures, the other team members are not qualified to fight against the Origin Demon Clan.

"Then I'll go in your place. ”

Li Xuan's eyes were on the underside of Li Zijie's double pupils, which were dark circles caused by long-term overwork.

After the Monster Bureau was bombarded by the people, Li Zijie was busy trying to help Li Xuan explain clearly, and he hardly rested.

Knowing that the crowd had been attracted by the news of the Origin Demon Clan in the past few days, he was able to sit peacefully in Li Xuan's office.

"You don't have to go, you don't have to go to the front line to face the Origin Demons. ”

Li Xuan's attitude could not be objected to: "Besides, there are also traces of the reincarnation of the suspected great magician, as the captain of the demon hunting team, it is necessary for me to go over there to investigate." ”

Regardless of whether this is an excuse or not, the Demon Hunting Team is responsible for hunting down the reincarnation of the Great Magician is a direct order issued by the royal family, and even when the Emperor Fu is recalled, there is no order to withdraw it.

That is to say, this reason cannot be refuted at all.

"At least let me go with you. Li Zijie retreated to the next best thing, as if he was very worried about the danger that his only friend would encounter.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuan still shook his head and said: "No one knows how Jisen resisted the attack of the Origin Demon Clan this time, and it is even possible that this is simply the fake news released by the Origin Demon Clan in order to lure us into the bait." ”

He said to Li Zijie, who was about to speak again: "What's more, you just said that the Monster Bureau is in turmoil now, and it needs capable people to guard it." ”

"This person should be you. ”

Li Zijie approached Li Xuan again, and looked at each other: "Ding Yujian's group of old guys have coveted your position for a long time, and I'm not good at playing any tricks with this group of old guys." ”

"In all fairness, Ding Yujian may not be as good as me in terms of combat, but in terms of business ability, he is better than me. ”

Li Xuan's words behind Li Zijie also guessed most of them: "If I encounter any accidents over there, Ding Yujian can also bring the Monster Bureau to prosperity step by step." ”

"You are the director of the Monster Bureau, how could I put up an irresponsible leader like you!"

Li Zijie's voice raised a few notches, but this only made his tiredness more obvious.

"In this monster bureau, I only recognize you. If Ding Yujian wants to usurp the throne, I don't recommend killing him with one sword. ”

This sentence is not a joke, in fact, Li Xuan knows very well the person in front of him who is proficient in the way of assassination and stealth, and will do what he says.

"There's no need to argue about this, my friend. ”

"Then let me go with you. Li Zijie's emotions were too excited, causing his body to show a faint sign of collapse, and he coughed violently.

"Hah, heh. Even if the Great Mage Reincarnation is really there, I can definitely help you catch it. ”

"Now is not the time to talk big!"

Li Xuan's words suddenly became stern, and Li Zijie couldn't help but take a step back.

"Forgive me, friend. Now our situation is not optimistic, and everything has to be prepared for the worst. ”

He also stood up and walked to Li Zijie's side.

"It's not that I don't trust you, on the contrary, it's because I trust your ability that I let you stay in the Monster Bureau. ”

"Today's Monster Bureau can't afford to lose more. If I can't come back by then, the Monster Bureau needs you. ”

Li Zijie blocked the hand that Li Xuan wanted to put on his shoulder, and said expressionlessly: "I'm waiting for you here, but if you don't come back, I won't continue to stay here." ”

Unusual eyes looked at Li Xuan, who had never seen him show such an expression.

It's completely unpredictable, and it is impossible to see what the other party is thinking at this moment on the surface.

Then the expression disappeared and was replaced by a slightly playful smile.

"I'm not going to be as stupid as you are to stay in this place for a person. ”

As soon as the door opened and closed, Li Xuan did not respond, and Li Zijie left directly.

I just said that I agreed to stay here, right?

But Li Xuan's mood still did not relax, this was because of Li Zijie's last seemingly ridiculous sentence.

Are you stupidly staying in the monster bureau for the sake of a person?

In the night, a ghostly figure shuttled quickly between the low bungalows.

He looked scrawny, but his strength was surprisingly amazing.

His arm, which was so thin that it seemed to break at the slightest touch, moved effortlessly at high speed with a bag the size of half his body.

Soon, he disappeared into the starlight and infiltrated an old house that had been dilapidated for a long time.

"Finally got one. ”

He licked his lips, and with this lustful expression on his emaciated face, he knew at a glance that this guy was not a good person.

Slowly unwrapping the bag, what fell out of it was a human child who had lost his vitality.

"I've been drawing on animal blood for so long, it's time for a change of taste. ”

He lifted the human child with one hand and let out a disappointed sigh: "It's a pity that it's not aliveΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· But I heard that there was a new ruthless character in that town, and I didn't dare to solve it on the spot. ”

Shaking his head, he persuaded himself in his heart that this was better than those stinking animal blood, and he opened his mouth wide and prepared to speak.

"It's because the [Blood Messenger] hasn't come back for too long, do you little minions dare to call yourself 'this seat'?"

A voice sounded suddenly, and the thin figure who was about to start a full meal hurriedly dropped his dinner and looked in the direction of the sound source vigilantly.

I saw a middle-aged human who looked ordinary and unremarkable appearing in front of him without any scruples.

"Who are you, and why do you know the title of my king?"

"Heh, you should be a deserter from the [Ghost Tooth Legion], right? Why, is it because Yu didn't treat you well on weekdays or did you come here for some other reason?"

The emaciated man's eyes shrank, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed to the human who came later.

"My lord spares my life! There are so few humans sent in here that none of our brothers stationed here can eat enough to drive me out!"

"So that's Yu's responsibility?" the middle-aged man rubbed his eyebrows: "That's right, you vampires' appetite really can't be calculated according to common sense." ”

"I don't mean to blame the adults below!"

"Well, next time, I'll ask the old vampire how much you eat. But it's kind of interesting that you're here. ”

The middle-aged man stopped and said, "Get up first, I have something to do with you." After that, go back to the [Ghost Fang Legion] and be honest!"

"Yes, yes, yes. The emaciated man did not dare to object, but nodded vigorously.
