Chapter Seventy-Two: The Show Begins
Central City, Marshal's Palace.
Oh no, it's the former Marshal's Mansion, and Rem has long ceased to be the Imperial Marshal.
Before dawn, Rem welcomed a guest.
"Lord Rem, I still don't understand. Lance stood respectfully in front of Rem, standing
"Cut, just call me Rem, you are now one person under ten thousand people, how can I afford to be called like this?"
"Teacher Rem, you are still so humble. ”
"Hey, it's better to call me a teacher. I can't imagine that someone like Lao Tzu can be a teacher, should I thank Kane for that old man?"
"Master Kane is indeed a qualified headmaster, and he is a man of great wisdom. ”
"Haha, don't say that, if he hears it, his beard will laugh crookedly. ”
Rem was amused by Lance's uprightness, and couldn't help but think of the old man's disrespectful appearance.
"Speaking of Kane, he came to me the other day and asked a whole bunch of inexplicable things...... When did he care about the Wings of Judgment?"
Rem rubbed his big fat belly and lay lazily on the couch, chatting unhurriedly with Lance.
Kane's attitude towards the Exorcist Army and the Wings of Judgment has always been lukewarm, neither deliberately concerned nor maliciously refuted.
However, this is the polar opposite of his previous attitude.
In the past, Kane was a very high-profile guy, and he was a ninth-order archmage, and even the king had to look at his face.
Relying on his terrifying strength, not only is his Hogg Academy famous on the mainland, but the Holy Empire is also more confident in the face of other countries.
Most importantly, with Kane, a legendary magician, humans have the absolute upper hand in the fight against demons.
A good magician is as powerful as an entire army of well-equipped people, and if he is given enough safe space and time, he can unleash world-destroying magic.
As for the ninth-order Grand Magus, it was even more terrifying...... No one wants to be an enemy of them, because that would be a joke with their own lives.
It was a legendary era, under the leadership of Vivette, the "strongest brave" and "perfect female surname", and the archmage Kane, the human race completely suppressed the arrogant demons, if it weren't for the climate of the Endless Forest, the army could not successfully go south to attack the Demon King Castle, and the humans might have driven the demons out of this continent long ago.
What was once a legend ended with Vilvette's death.
If Vilvette hadn't died, Kane might not be the Kane he is now......
After Vilvet's death, Kane announced that he would henceforth refuse to join any organization or army, including the exorcist army that fought against the demons on behalf of justice.
Avoiding a lot of trouble, Kane put all his mind on Hogg House, and what had been a high profile gradually turned into an unfathomable hibernation.
Although he devoted more time to running the house, the funny thing is that instead of continuing to grow, Hogg House is declining.
"Hey, it's so impermanent......" Rem sighed, sighing.
“...... I said, Mr. Rem, did you listen to me?" Lance frowned.
"Eh, you—did you just talk to me?"
"Teacher......" Lance pursed his lips helplessly.
"Oh, don't you just want to ask me about Arthas?" Rem hurriedly smiled and comforted, "I don't know exactly what he wants to do, but you'd better listen to him." ”
"Okay......" Lance nodded reluctantly.
He didn't have anything important to come to Rem today, he just wanted to talk to Rem. The other day, Arthas spoke to him about the pact between them.
If you want to know the whereabouts of the brave, then send someone to ambush around Hogg House on the day of the final of the Knight Tryouts to protect me and the members of the Exorcism Salvation Society.
That's what Arthas said to him at the time.
Lance is a trustworthy man, so he has already made arrangements.
Although it seemed to be quiet around Hogg House, it was actually full of Lance's men. As the generalissimo of the Empire, his subordinates are naturally all the best of the best. Today, not even a single mosquito would want to fly into Hogg House to cause trouble.
"Teacher, I still don't understand...... Could it be that someone is really going to attack Hogg House today?"
"Who knows, Sa. Rem moved his increasingly bloated body and slowly rolled off the couch, "It's time to go." It's a rare and exciting game, Lance, and you're going to see it with me today. ”
"Okay, teacher. ”
"Arthas, what kind of medicine is sold in your boy's gourd?"
Walking out of the house, Rem was keenly aware of the warmer climate.
"It's a good show, it's over. ”
===============
Hogg House, the Wild Bear Tribe.
As the sun rises, the number of people in the wild bear tribe has begun to increase, and many anxious spectators came to the scene early to grab a comfortable seat in order to watch this wonderful game up close.
That way, Edward, who was standing as stupidly as a telephone pole at the gate, didn't look so strange.
"Good morning, Lord Demon. An old man with gray hair came over.
"Hehe, although your title makes me a little embarrassed, but...... I took it anyway. Hello Principal Kane, I'm the Demon King, yes. ”
"Haha!" Kane burst out laughing, "you're not afraid of death." But then again, everyone but me will just think you're crazy...... How could there be a useless demon king like you? ”
"Yes, the night is also very curious, why there is such a useless waste wood as the master, with the master, the life of the night is really sad. ”
As a dutiful maid, Night will never let go of every opportunity to taunt.
"Tsk, that's the end of the joke. Kane, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"Oh, are you really waiting for me? Looks like you're more like you're with your maid. Kane's gaze fell on Night's face, and then asked Edward with a smile, the sneer was self-evident.
"Hey, Kane...... I—We're just talking. "Edward has a black line.
This old man is so improper.
"Okay, Demon King. I've already asked Rem, you're not lying, I believe your words. Kane put away his joking expression and said seriously.
"As you can see. Edward shrugged.
"Demon King, I wish you could tell me more details, but not now. Now, I just want to ask you one question. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Angelina, is she okay?" asked Kane in a low voice.
"Ah, she's fine, very nice. Although he was injured, he was able to heal quickly. Besides, I still have to find her, huh...... Her best friend, the woman named Qing. ”
"In that case, I'll be relieved......" Kane breathed a sigh of relief, "I agreed to your request, and I'm willing to help you." But the Demon King, I'm not here to help you, but to help Emilia...... I don't want to see her die. ”
"On this point, I stand the same way as you. Edward smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with." ”
"Tell me, how do you want me to help you? If I'm not mistaken, you'll need my help today. Kane and Edward stood side by side, their beards curled as they looked at the busy people on the field.
"Kane, today, there's a good chance that Emilia will die. Edward said.
"Oh. Kane was not the slightest surprised, and responded lightly.
"I'll always stand here and watch her, so please ...... too."
"I see......"
Kane nodded, squinting his eyes and sneering without waiting for Edward to finish.
"People don't remember their last names very well, and if I don't do it, I'm afraid they're going to forget about me, a bad old man. ”
"Come on. I will kill as many as you come. ”
"Vivette's debt, today, I'll ask you for some interest first......"
