Chapter 1086 Hidden Hazard Investigation
Although Mio Narise was ten thousand reluctant, she finally stayed and cleaned up the mess left by Duanmu Huai with a sad face. Fortunately, the Tacheng kitten saw that she was pitiful and stayed together, which was somewhat of a comfort. Duanmu Huai put away the chariot, patted his **** and went back to the royal city with Commander Melder... No matter what, the elimination of Andalier is a good start, at least now the royal city doesn''t have to face the threat of the demon army directly.
After returning to the royal city, Commander Melder naturally informed the king of the news immediately. I have to say that after listening to Commander Melder''s report, the king himself was confused - the whole process was so ridiculous that he couldn''t even react whether this was true or not. However, with his trust in Commander Melder, the latter should not treat himself as a fool.
Then there is only one answer.
"I really didn''t expect that Lord Brave could kill Andariel, one of the four great devils, so easily..."
"Okay, I think the boring politeness can be avoided."
Duanmuhuai directly interrupted the king''s speech.
"Now you have also seen that the so-called demon king is not my opponent at all, so can you tell me where the other demon kings are? I''ll clean up quickly. Everyone is relaxed, right?"
"this………"
Faced with Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, the king looked embarrassed.
"To be honest, we don''t have a clear understanding of the movements of the demon kings at the moment... there are just some vague clues..."
"The clues are made, I''ll investigate them myself."
"I understand. I will have someone pass on the information to you later. Also, if you don''t mind, we will hold a banquet to celebrate your first battle to celebrate your victory. I wonder if you are interested in participating?"
If it were an ordinary adventurer, the king would naturally not speak like this. But Duanmu Huai has proved that he is a ruthless person who can tear the demon king with his hands, not to mention that they and his group are from another world. The king is not a fool, and he also understands that these people are very dissatisfied with their inexplicable arrival in such a world. In addition, he also needs to rely on these brave men to defeat the demons and the demon king, so he also takes care of them in every way and of course he is quite polite.
“Banquet…”
Hearing the king''s inquiry, Duanmu Huai showed a speechless expression. He was actually not interested in such an upper-class banquet. After all, with Duanmu Huai''s body shape, it was impossible to find someone to dance with him. All that is left is to eat and drink. If Duanmu Huai is like this, it would be better to stay at home and lie on the bed and watch movies and eat snacks, which is better than being bored on such occasions.
"I''ll spare it. This kind of occasion is not in harmony with me, and it''s useless to come. You can celebrate it yourself. But I must remind you that this is just the beginning, not the end. You should also understand the devil''s cruelty and cunning. Don''t just open champagne for a small victory. If you are extremely happy, it will be troublesome."
Duanmuhuai shook her head and refused the king''s invitation. When Duanmuhuai''s answer was heard, the king was somewhat disappointed.
"I understand. Of course, Lord Brave''s reminder makes sense. But at the moment, I think the people need some good news to cheer up. Maybe Lord Brave, you don''t know that before you arrive, the whole world was completely shrouded in the shadow of the army of demons and demons. Even our royal family lives a worried life every day..."
Speaking of this, the king stood up and bowed his head to Duanmuhuai.
"I also know that it is wrong for us to rashly summon you to this world without your permission. I also know that it is meaningless to just verbal apology. Therefore, as long as it is something we can do, please be sure to speak up. In order to protect my country and my people, we must rely on the power of the brave!"
"Protecting humans is the policy of the Inquisition. We will not sit idly by and watch humans perish. Eliminating subspace monsters is even more of the Inquisition''s responsibility. You don''t have to worry about this."
Duanmu Huai gave a light answer.
"That''s good... By the way, for the convenience of contact, I want to send a special envoy to the Inquisition. If possible, I can prepare servants and guards for all the brave..."
"The envoy can come, but there is no need for servants and guards. They are not children, so they should learn to take care of themselves."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai nodded to the king.
"Then, I''ll leave first if it''s okay."
"Okay, I will send a special envoy as soon as possible to contact you."
Seeing Duanmu Huai turn and leave, the king also smiled bitterly, sat back on the throne, and looked at the princess.
At this moment, the prince who had been talking to him all the time, spoke up in dissatisfaction.
"Father, that brave Lord is too arrogant. Father, you invited him like this, but he still doesn''t care at all!"
"That''s not the case. After all, whether our country can continue to exist and whether we can resist the army of demons depends on all the brave men, and... you also know that they were summoned to our world without knowing it, and it is normal to have opinions about us. Put yourself in your shoes, if one day you are inexplicably summoned to a dangerous place where people there want you to fight for them with your life, what would you think?"
"this………"
Hearing the king''s teachings, the prince also pouted and stopped talking. After all, he is just a teenage brat.
"But did Lord Brave say that protecting humanity is their duty? There is no need for the father to be so humble, right?"
"Why………"
Hearing his son''s unconvinced answer, the king sighed and looked at the princess again. Indeed, as the prince said, Duanmuhuai did say that "the duty of the court is to protect humans." However, the king is not a fool, so he naturally knows that Duanmuhuai is talking about "humans" rather than "country". In other words, he has no control over whether this country is destroyed, as long as humans can survive.
When the two sides first met, Duanmu Huai said this, and now he repeated it again. The meaning is nothing more than that the attitude of the court has not changed - which means that the two sides have not been able to further establish a closer relationship. To put it bluntly, defeating the Demon King is the "duty" of the Inquisition, not the "friendly relationship" with the country.
In this way, forcibly summoning brave men from another world to protect their country. The king also knew that this was not good, and the current reputation of the two sides was completely cold. Moreover, the other party also has the ability to be self-reliant in this world, and does not need to rely on the kingdom at all. He even puts on an attitude of drawing a clear line with the kingdom.
In this case, it is not an easy task to bring the relationship between the two parties closer.
“The celebration will be held anyway.”
The king made a decision quickly, on the one hand, to appease the uneasy mood of the people, and on the other hand, to promote the deeds of the Inquisition and the brave among the people, so that the people can become more enthusiastic and admire the brave. This is also a means to promote feelings between the two parties through the people. No matter what, after knowing that the court is their savior, the kingdom''s citizens should not be too rude when facing the people in the court.
Therefore, holding a celebration is not a bad thing. On the contrary, if it keeps causing trouble, if there is friction between the people and the court, it will be troublesome.
The king never wants to be an enemy of a ruthless man who is good at tearing the devil''s king.
The king was preparing for the celebration, while Duanmuhuai returned to the church and relaxed.
"I''m back."
“Welcome back, Mr. Duanmu.”
Of course, it was Mary who welcomed Duanmu Huai.
"Yo, Mary, how are you doing?"
"Everyone is quite adapting to the new environment, but... they may be a little too adapted."
"Huh? What does it mean?"
"Didn''t you use that silver board to test their responsibilities and attributes before? Many people seem to be very interested in this aspect and want to try to use these abilities..."
This is also normal. Apart from the threat of death, if modern people awaken some superpowers or magic, they will definitely be cool, and who doesn’t want it.
"There are also some students who want to try fighting and express their willingness to receive training..."
"Young people are really full of energy."
Duanmuhuai shrugged, while Mari looked around Duanmuhuai.
"Mr. Duanmu, where are Miss Mio and Miss Kitten? Didn''t they go to the Bloody Wilderness with you?"
"Oh, they stay there to clean up the aftermath, and it will probably take several days before they can come back."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.
"Everyone is excited?"
"It''s almost the same. In my opinion, it may be related to the fact that there is nothing to do in this world. Even Teacher Ju is secretly practicing her abilities..."
"Um………"
Although Duanmu Huai really wants to solve the problem of the Demon King as soon as possible, he also has to be careful of his side. For example, Mio Narase, Wanria and Tacheng Kitten are fine. Ordinary students suddenly gain more than imagined power, and there will naturally be some changes.
It seems that before dealing with the next demon king, we should deal with our own affairs first.
"I see."
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai made a decision.
"You go and notify everyone and ask them to fill out a form, mainly to state their abilities and whether they are willing to go to the front line to participate in the battle."
"I understand...but Mr. Duanmu, do you really want them to participate in the battle?"
"hehe………"
Facing Mary''s inquiry, Duanmu Huai just smiled.
"You will know then."
Then he spoke.
