Chapter 399: Shizuka's Revenge

According to Uruze, Shizuka was by her side and did help her a lot. But Shizuka didn't help for nothing, she made a deal with Uruze.

"She asked me to use Bingyan's intelligence network to help her find a man named Lakaru."

"Lakaru? What did she do with this person?"

"I don't know, anyway, it doesn't seem to be a good thing..."

At this point, Uruze sighed.

"I didn't think much about it at the time, and later I found four people named Lakaru from the intelligence network. One of them was an ordinary grandfather, one was an adventurer, and the other was a bachelor..."

Okay, these are definitely not all, so what about the last one?

"This............"

Uruze hesitated.

"The last one was Lakaru, a high-ranking magic official of Seth, and after Shizuka got the news, she rushed out to find him directly..."

"Wait, when did this happen?"

"Just these few days."

"Is she crazy?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was confused.

"The demons have almost occupied two-thirds of Seth's territory. If she runs out to look for someone now, isn't that a dead end?"

"I said so too, but Miss Shizuka is very determined..."

"It's really terrible..."

After listening to Uruze's report, Duanmu Huai was speechless. If it were someone else, they would just die, and Duanmu Huai would not bother to care. But Shizuka is different. She is Maria's good friend, and Maria is now a very important member of the Tribunal. If Shizuka dies, it will be a lot of fun!

"Where did she go?"

"It seems to be... the jumping tower."

"………………"

Good guy, she ran to the royal city. Duanmu Huai retreated from there, so he naturally knew the situation. At that time, most of the people in the royal city went to the Sky City, and the only ones left were the diehards, and then the demon army. Shizuka is a good magician, but she is just good. Let alone the demon apostles, she will be finished if she encounters a slightly larger demon army.

"Forget it, I'll take Ogis to check the situation."

Duanmu Huai certainly couldn't let Shizuka die. At least he had to see her alive or dead. Otherwise, how would he explain to Maria when he returned?

Desperately, Duanmu Huai had to make this decision. Then he found An and Gu Leiya and explained the matter to them. Hearing that Shizuka was in a dangerous situation, the two of them became nervous. They were not familiar with Shizuka, but they had seen and talked with her in the court. Now that they heard that she was in danger, they were naturally very worried.

"Do you want us to help? Mr. Knight?"

"No, I can take Ogis with me, and you can help stay here. The demon army is approaching and may attack the city at any time. You and Gu Leiya staying here are enough to resist those demon armies. But be careful of the demons..."

While speaking, Duanmu Huai explained to them the invincible barrier of the demons. Hearing that there was such a shameless thing, An and Gu Leiya were also confused.

What the hell is the invincible barrier? You won't get hurt no matter how hard you fight. This is too shameless!

"In short, if you encounter something you can't beat, notify me immediately. Of course, if I meet it, I will kill it."

After all, Duanmu Huai will go back to the capital next time. Maybe the chance of him meeting a demon is higher than here. If that's the case, Duanmu Huai will just chop the demon or use her to test whether his magic is effective against demons.

Since he already knew about this, Duanmu Huai didn't want to stay for long. Anyway, the Sky City is here, plus An and Gu Leiya, there will be no problem. Of course, he also told the two that if they really meet a demon, they can run back through the Sky City portal if they can't beat it. It's not shameful.

But before that, Duanmu Huai also found King Gandhi to ask about the situation, and King Gandhi also told Duanmu Huai that there is indeed a person named Naji. Ze. Lakalu among the four kings. But she is a young girl, maybe younger than Shizuka, so Shizuka is definitely not looking for her, so it could be her father.

But this one of the Four Heavenly Kings did not retreat with them, and no one knew where he went. Duanmu Huai was speechless after receiving this answer. It seems that he can only go to the Jump Tower by himself.

Then Duanmu Huai took Ogis back to the Sky City and got a Night Crow Black Star gunboat from the Tribunal Mothership through the portal-this is also Maria's masterpiece after taking office. After all, before this, Duanmu Huai did not have a reliable military machinery expert, so Kukulu could only make some guns and ammunition at most, and now with Maria, the Void Dock can also be used to manufacture mechanical equipment such as tanks and gunboats.

So Duanmu Huai was finally able to drive the Night Crow Black Star around again... This shows how important Maria is to him.

So Shizuka, you must not die!

Driving the Night Raven Black Star, Duanmu Huai rushed forward and arrived at the Jump Tower outside the Royal City in a short time. From a distance, the Royal City at this moment was no longer as prosperous as when Duanmu Huai first saw it. The whole city was in ruins. Only the central part of the Royal City was still well preserved. There were demon soldiers everywhere. However, Duanmu Huai did not want to stay here for long. He circled over the Royal City and then went to the Jump Tower.

At the same time, the Jump Tower... was also in a mess.

"Flame Arrow!!"

Shizuka raised her hand, and a flame radiated from her hand and hit the demon in front of her. The demon screamed and fell to the ground, turning into a corpse.

"Haaa... Haaa......"

At this moment, Shizuka was sweating profusely, her eyes were cold and resolute, and her body was covered with blood. The magician's robe was even more tattered, and the hat on her head was unknown. In fact, this journey was also full of dangers for Zhijinxiang. Just as Duanmu Huai guessed, after the demons occupied the land of Seth, the area was full of rampant demon armies and even some mobs.

Along the way, Zhijinxiang encountered many dangers, even life-threatening ones, but in the end, she managed to get through with one breath.

Because she had not yet achieved her goal!

However, even after arriving at the Jumping Tower, there were still many obstacles in front of her.

There were demon soldiers everywhere, but even so, Zhijinxiang still chose to move forward. She continued to move towards the top of the tower, one step, one step, and one step...

"Woo..."

Finally, perhaps because she was too tired or too weak, Zhijinxiang only felt her legs soften, and then she fell backwards!

At this moment, Zhijinxiang was filled with sadness and anger.

Is it the end?

However, just as Zhijinxiang closed her eyes and was about to endure the pain brought by the impact, she suddenly felt a big hand appear on her back and blocked her!

Then, a voice sounded.

"Huh, you scared me, I finally caught up."

"Huh?"

Hearing this voice, Shizuka opened her eyes, and when she saw the big face of Duanmu Huai in front of her, she twitched in fear. Well, it's not her fault. Any girl who suddenly opened her eyes and saw such a face would have this reaction.

"I say, what on earth are you doing?"

Looking at the blood and holes on Shizuka's body, Duanmu Huai was also confused.

"I learned about you from Wuluze, so I ran over... Who are you looking for here? Even if he is here, he is probably dead."

"He must not die!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Shizuka clenched her fists suddenly and struggled to break free from Duanmu Huai.

"It must be me... I must kill him!!"

"... Revenge."

If Duanmu Huai didn't know why Shizuka was looking for this person named Lakalu before, now looking at her like this, he can almost guess it.

"Do you have a grudge?"

"……………………"

"You'd better explain it to me, or I won't let you go."

"Woo………………"

Hearing this, Shizuka gritted her teeth and tried to break free from Duanmu Huai's restraints, but unfortunately Duanmu Huai held her very tightly. After realizing that she couldn't break free, Shizuka finally lowered her head.

"He is my... sworn enemy!"

Then, Shizuka explained to Duanmu Huai the grudge between her and the man named Lakalu.

To Duanmu Huai's surprise, Shizuka was actually a citizen of Seth, and the daughter of a high-ranking official of Seth. Logically speaking, if nothing unexpected happened, she should actually live a life of a first-level citizen in Seth like Majiko.

But that's the problem.

A man fell in love with Shizuka's mother, so he killed Shizuka's father and forcibly possessed Shizuka's mother. Shizuka, who lost her parents, was sold and finally came to the Free City after many twists and turns.

Shizuka didn't know much about the man, she only knew that he had powerful magic and his name was Lakalu.

And she followed Duanmu Huai to Seth this time to find this man and avenge her parents!
