Chapter 171 Herilinde’s Resignation

The 569th floor of the abyss is different from the sea on the 570th floor. It feels quite dry here.

The lord on the 569th floor is the demon lord known as the [War Lord], the big demon who bought Herilinde.

The end of a war once again made him seem to be in a good mood.

"Are you leaving too, Herilinde?"

The [War Lord] in formal attire said this, and he seemed to feel a little regretful: "Actually, I have always been very optimistic about you."

The [War Lord] who said this looked at Herilind who lowered his head respectfully and added with pity: "I don't lack soldiers, but I lack generals."

The life of a [War Lord] is undoubtedly a life of war. He uses fighting to become a lord, and he uses war to knock on the door of expansion.

Handsome talents, general talents...are the talents he has always been short of.

As for ordinary lemures and soldiers, he also controls several hatching pools, so there is no particular shortage.

In this regard, [War Lord] can be regarded as a strange thing in the abyss.

The [War Lord] does not care about the loss of soldiers. After the soldiers win a battle, he gives the other side the right to choose freely.

However, in comparison, fighting for the [War Lord] is considered a well-paid option in the entire post-melted Abyss.

Herilind also knew this, but...

"I'm very grateful to you...but I still want to go to the main plane."

Herilinde said this as she resigned to the [War Lord]... Yes, this was a resignation.

In a place like the abyss, the word "please resign" seems particularly absurd, because...

The weak are the property of the strong, and the weak have no right to resign.

And when the weak become strong, the situation will be reversed, and there will be no need to resign.

"..."

The main plane...the main plane?

[War Lord] Thinking this way, he had to admit... For Herilinde, the main plane is a good place.

First of all, now that melting is prevalent, the number of demon species in the main plane has gradually increased, and basically they will not be discriminated against.

Secondly, Herilinde's integrity is indeed incompatible with the abyss.

[War Lord] is fine here, but if it were some other place that likes to play tricks and intrigues...

Herelind might be toyed with.

But... if you think about it carefully, the main plane is actually not a pure and innocent place, and the moral level of human beings is not worth looking forward to.

"Why the main plane? How do you want to get there?"

Although the [War Lord] would not stop Herilinde from leaving, he still asked curiously, so he could ask for clarification.

"..."

In this regard, Herilinde hesitated for a moment, and then slowly began to explain: "Your Excellency, War Lord, I wonder if you still remember...the day you bought me, there was an abyss dragon."

Well, he must still remember that, or... in fact, he had a very deep impression of that period.

After all, when I went to the first floor that time, I encountered demigod-level enemies.

They even won...

Even if the eighth-level demigod was controlled by the snake scale powder and gave birth to an eighth-level demi-god, it was still an exciting and great achievement.

…

Next, Herilinde told everything about her encounter in the incubation pool, her challenges and Belsi letting her go.

The [War Lord] listened thoughtfully.

"in other words……"

[War Lord] said this, he seemed to realize something, and nodded with emotion: "This is your important agreement."

Very honestly, Herilinde told the [War Lord] her thoughts, nodded and said, "Yes, this is an important agreement."

This is an oath belonging to the lemure named [Herilind], similar to the oath of a knight, and this kind of thing cannot be broken.

"Pelo Pelo, a name I've never heard of... well, go ahead."

[War Lord] said this, and he seemed very calm about Herilinde's departure: "Although it is a pity, I will not keep you, but..."

With that said, [War Lord] looked at the huge sand table on his desk, which was the sea map of the entire 570th floor, and he said:

"Actually, you have great potential. I have always thought that you might be able to take over the position of lord of the 569th floor... Even if I tell you this now, do you still want to leave?"

Take over as the lord of floor 569? So……

In response to Herilinde's confused look, [War Lord] laughed boldly: "Of course I am the king! My goal... is to become one of the Seven Demon Kings! I will probably give myself the nickname [War Lord] !”

A very lofty ambition... And at that time, the position of lord will naturally be vacant, and he is ready to hand it over to Herilinde.

Herilinde was touched by such trust, but...

"..."

Herilinde still shook her head. This dark and evil-looking knight refused the war lord's proposal without much thought.

This is what [War Lord] expected...

"That's it, then forget it... Hahahahahahaha!! The main plane and the abyss will eventually be fused together. Don't regret it when the time comes!"

——————————

After bidding farewell to the [War Lord], Herilinde spread the wings of her demon species... and flew in the direction of the ship.

It is worth mentioning that after the demon insects evolve into little lemures, those wings like elytra will transform into normal demon flesh wings.

But Herilinde seems to have stopped evolving in this area...

Spreading out behind her were still elytra as thin as cicada wings, but they were shinier, lighter and wider than during the demon insect period.

"When do we leave?"

After landing on the deck, Herrelind's first words were to ask the man who was talking to the nobles about something.

A man who calls himself Peropello says that he has the ability to sense the [Gate] and can quickly travel between various levels of the abyss in a short time.

For example, it only took him more than ten days to go from the first floor to the 666th floor, and then back to the 570th floor.

As for Herilinde's question, Peropello answered the question with a question: "Have you negotiated with the war lord? He seems to be kinder than I thought."

Yes, although the war lord bears the name of war, he appears to be extremely reasonable in daily life.

Also quite smart.

Not at all like a Chaos-aligned demon... In this regard, Herilinde seemed as strange as the War Lord.

Herilinde can even speak Common Language, which is a talent that is hard to imagine in a place like the Abyss.

Before Peropello answered her question, some demons couldn't help but ask: "Herilinde, is the abyss dragon that this man talks about... the one who was born with us?"

"Yes, the one called [Belxi], is it him?"

"And that companion on his head that can stick things to him."

"..."

Then, under Herilinde's nod, the demons looked at each other, and then seemed to make some decision.

"Can I follow you to find Belsi?

"I want to go too."

"Me too……"

——————————

Peropello:…

To be honest, he was really curious. What kind of fame did Belxi achieve in the abyss before coming to the main plane?
