Chapter 679 Return

The so-called trouble is also the trouble that Aurelia needs to worry about. After all, the holy sword has been pulled out, the seal has been lifted, and then you go back and tell everyone that the demon king has run away. Isn't this cheating?

But if you say that the demon king is sealed, then when he shows up in the end, your bullshit will be exposed.

But this is a problem that Aurelia has to consider, and Duanmu Huai doesn't care about this.

But then again, he is quite familiar with the brave man's coquettish operation.

In order to gain power, he sold his own descendants---well, a certain emperor also did a similar coquettish operation.

Later, he wanted to default on his debt, but the creditor was not easy to mess with.

So Duanmu Huai despised this kind of cleverness the most. If you have the ability, go ahead, if you don't have the ability, just be timid. You have to be stupid and go to the minefield to dance, and there will always be a day when you will explode. As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet. What's the point of being clever? If you win, you can't show off. If you lose, it means you're an idiot...

Players have a similar attitude towards the Emperor. The more they know, the less respect they have for the Emperor. All the glorious deeds of the Emperor were basically crushed by him. All the troubles caused by the Emperor were mostly caused by his recklessness. And it happened again and again...

In the final analysis, it was the Emperor who was too self-righteous.

Take the Imperial Truth for example. The Emperor's original intention was to block information about the Warp and Chaos through the Imperial Truth, but the problem is, with so many people in the Human Empire, can he dare to pat his chest and guarantee that no one in the world will explore the Warp from now to the future? Will he be interested in Chaos?

Science cannot prove the existence of God, but are there not enough people who believe in God?

And the evil god is not the final BOSS in the game. It will not move unless you touch it. Will it not take the initiative to attack and lure mortals?

Not to mention the existence of psychics. When humans come into contact with the Warp, their first reaction will be, this is different from what the Emperor said? The second reaction is, am I dazzled? The third reaction is, I am not seeing things, the Imperial Truth is a fucking lie? This stupid Emperor is deceiving me?

Oh, isn't that the end?

So the Imperial Truth was a stupid move from the beginning. Unless the Emperor controls all human beings to build collective consciousness and does not allow any individual thinking to appear, and then kills all psykers, you can just deceive yourself.

Not to mention that the Warp itself is a mess. Players have also made a joke, that is, even if the Emperor smoothly promotes the Imperial Truth, and all human beings believe in the Imperial Truth, then maybe an evil god called "atheism" will appear in the Warp. And all the people of the Empire are believers of this evil god, and then they will learn from Slaanesh to see injustice and roar, swallow all human souls and become the fifth evil god, then you humans will not be the second Eldar?

After all, the Warp is here, whether you deny it or not, what does it have to do with it?

It is your business if you close your eyes and it gets dark, but the sun doesn't care.

So the so-called Imperial Truth of the Emperor is a standard way of covering one's ears and stealing the bell in the eyes of players, a pure joke.

Forget it, I'm off topic, let's get back to the topic.

The most troublesome thing now is the demon king.

As far as I can see now, the demon king should be about the same size as an ordinary person, and he is not a monster that is ten meters tall and spews fire. Moreover, he has been running for so many years, where can he be found?

However, since the demon king has signed a contract with the hero, it means that he will definitely not take action within five hundred years.

Five hundred years have passed now?

Although it is indeed a huge blow that the demon king has not been found, fortunately, when leaving the fortress, Aurelia was also swift and decisive, and did not make a big fuss, so most people did not know what happened. After sending scouts to investigate and confirming that the monsters on the ice field had completely dissipated, Aurelia announced that the defense operation of the Northland Fortress had been successfully completed, and most of the legions would follow her back to the Royal City of Ruminas, leaving only a part of the regular soldiers to continue defending here.

And Duanmu Huai naturally followed Aurelia to the Royal City of Ruminas.

After learning the news that the monster army's attack failed, the whole country of Luminas was boiling. When Aurelia led the army through the city gate, petals fluttered in the wind, and there were cheering people everywhere on both sides. The loud bells echoed over the city.

As for Duanmu Huai...

"Well, I have to say, this scene is really familiar."

Watching Aurelia walk through the streets with flying petals and walk towards the palace, Duanmu Huai muttered to himself. He stretched out his hand and took the flying petals. The delicate and bright petals became shriveled and withered at the fingertips of Duanmu Huai. Then Duanmu Huai threw the petals aside and continued to move forward.

Next, it was Aurelia who pushed open the door, walked into the throne hall, and came to the king to kill her father with a sword... Well, this is too much thinking.

"You are back safely, Aurelia."

The old man sitting on the throne looked skinny. If Duanmu Huai hadn't felt the breath of the dead from him, he would even doubt whether this old man would be a dead lich.

"You did a great job in the battle in the north..."

The old king was panting heavily. To be honest, looking at the old man in front of him, Duanmu Huai suspected that he would have fainted without Aurelia's help.

"This is all thanks to everyone."

Aurelia lowered her head, her expression unchanged.

"Without the sacrifice and fighting of all the soldiers, we would not be able to defeat the monsters and win."

"Well, I know... the sacrifice of the soldiers... is heartbreaking, I will give them enough rewards... yes, rewards..."

The old man's voice was so unclear that Duanmu Huai had to wonder if the king had Alzheimer's disease. In fact, during the whole process of speaking, it seemed that he only had eyes for Aurelia. Obviously, Duanmu Huai was standing not far behind Aurelia, but he didn't even look at Duanmu Huai.

Well, if he is not blind, then he must be old and blurry.

"Your Majesty, I have something very important to report to you..."

"Cough... cough cough cough............!!"

However, just as Alleria raised her head and was about to say something to the king, the old king suddenly coughed violently, and his broken breathing, as if pulling a broken bellows, echoed in the royal court. At this time, a man wearing a black robe and looking like "I am suspicious" walked to the king and whispered something to the king, and the king nodded and looked at Alleria again.

Then, the man raised his head and spoke.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well, so let's stop here. Your Highness Aurelia, the military will be responsible for the rewards for the legion."

"……………………I understand."

Aurelia's expression did not change at all, and her eyes seemed very silent. She saluted, then turned and left the hall, while Duanmu Huai glanced at the old king who was helped up by the man and walked back like a paralyzed stroke patient, and left with Aurelia.

"……………………Sorry."

After leaving the royal court, Aurelia turned around and apologized to Duanmu Huai.

"Originally, my father said that he would grant you the title of Holy Sword Commander during this meeting..."

So the title of player is to be given by this paralyzed old man with dementia?

This is too much!

"It doesn't matter. By the way, that person...doesn't seem to be in good health?"

"Yes, my father had a sudden illness two years ago, and his health has been getting worse since then..."

Speaking of this, Aurelia shook her head.

"The military will take some time to answer your question."

"It doesn't matter. I'm planning to go shopping in the capital."

"Okay, then... I'll send Erica to contact you later."

"Hehe, see you later."

Duanmu Huai didn't care too much. After all, he had come to the capital, and half of his goal had been accomplished.

As for the other half...

"Master!"

Duanmu Huai had just walked out of the palace gate when Ojis and Jiawei rushed over and hugged him.

"You came out so soon?"

"I really have nothing to do... Well, I'm wrong. I still have something to do."

"What is it?"

"You'll know if you follow me."

Duanmu Huai patted Jiawei's head, and Jiawei proudly gave Ojis a provocative look. Facing Jiawei's expression, Ojis frowned slightly, and then returned to her original state again.

Duanmu Huai didn't care about the relationship between the two puppet sisters. He didn't forget that one of the goals of coming to this world this time was to get the Holy Sword and the title of Holy Sword Commander. Well, the Holy Sword should be considered to be obtained, right?

The other was to find talents for his territory, and Duanmu Huai just happened to know that there was such a place in the Royal City of Ruminas!

"Let's go, we have a lot to do next."

In a dark alley in the Royal City of Ruminas, there is such a shop, which is very famous among players.

There are several reasons.

First, the owner is a beautiful girl.

Second, the goods in this shop are genuine.

Third, the business of this shop... includes human resources!

That's right, just like a modern professional agency, introducing members to you, in the game, players can obtain a series of "neutral" soul cards by trading with the store manager, and many of them are talents in internal affairs and diplomacy, which is very useful for players, especially players of the Soul Messenger profession.

Of course, these soul cards are also valuable and quite expensive, but... Fortunately, Duanmu Huai is rich and generous, and he is not afraid of spending money.

Now he is afraid that the store is a website operated by the official game, and it does not exist in reality. If so, Duanmu Huai will be in trouble.

Fortunately, when Duanmu Huai walked into the alley and arrived at the destination according to his memory, he was relieved when he saw the familiar store.

Then, Duanmu Huai reached out and pushed open the door.

"Dinglingling..."

The doorbell rang, and then Duanmu Huai walked into the store and looked around.

There is almost no difference between this place and the game. There are a lot of display cabinets placed next to the walls on both sides, and in these display cabinets, there are soul cards - yes, this is also the only place in the game where soul cards are openly put out for sale!

At the same time, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded.

"Hello, distinguished guest, welcome to the House of Fantasy."

Accompanying this voice, Duanmu Huai saw a girl with smooth black hair and a cloak coming out.

"I am Stefal, the manager of this store. What do you need?"

Then, the girl looked at Duanmu Huai and asked with a smile.
