Chapter 107

The trio, consisting of one human and two demons, had been walking for some time when they encountered a mounted procession head-on.

The horses neighed in alarm, their riders taken aback by the imposing figure of the brute force demon, who stood tall and barely shorter than the trees lining the road. The horses grew restless, stamping their hooves uneasily.

The man leading the procession, dressed in exquisite attire, was the first to attempt a hasty retreat.

The fly demon emitted a low chuckle, extending its arm. Suddenly, a swarm of black flies burst forth from its body, piercing the temples of the men and burrowing into their skulls. Those who had been fleeing came to a halt, their expressions transitioning from fear to a numb stupor.

Soon, all of them obediently gathered in front of the demons.

Lynn narrowed his eyes, finding the fly demon’s methods rather weird.

The fly demon cradled the head of one of the men, slowly extruding a white needle-like tube from its mouth, piercing the scalp. Yellowish-gray brain matter flowed into its mouth like tofu pudding.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

Shaking its head, the fly demon opened its mouth to communicate with the group.

Remarkably, they managed to converse seamlessly. Unable to understand their language, Lynn could only stare blankly, observing their expressions.

The fly demon relayed the information it obtained to Lynn. Through a brief interrogation, Lynn learned that the leader of the group was actually the son of a noble viscount.

However, this noble’s family now had little possessions left. His hometown had been besieged and overrun by rebel forces. With the help of some elite family members, he had fought his way out of the siege and was now attempting to reach the kingdom’s capital city, Whitefall.

The royal library, the largest in the kingdom, was located in Whitefall, coincidentally aligning with Lynn’s destination.

“Let’s go take a look. I doubt we’ll find what we’re looking for in the royal library,” Lynn suggested.

After all, besides demons, many wizards had also entered this time. Demons might not value knowledge, but wizards might.

However, their current location wasn’t far from the royal library, so they could check it out first.

“If there’s no knowledge, we still have other options,” the fly demon said confidently.

“A world definitely has many mineral deposits. Only a fraction of these deposits have been discovered by the natives. Some are surely hidden in the wilderness, undiscovered by anyone. By then, I can summon a gold-eating demon. They have a keen sense for metal and can detect it within a certain distance.”

Lynn nodded thoughtfully, silently taking note of the fly demon’s experience for future reference.

He could look for similar alchemical creatures or species when he returned. If there were none, he could consider raising a gold-eating demon himself.

“Let’s just raid them directly,” the brute force demon suggested.

“We might not succeed with so many powerful demons coming here this time,” the fly demon shook its head.

If it were elsewhere, that might be fine, but this time there were many formidable characters at the market.

Take, for example, the simplest principle: being able to invade other planes and having plenty of resources to trade, which ordinary demons couldn’t achieve.

“I’m afraid it’s not just demons,” Lynn said quietly.

Not only demons but official wizards had also come.

Direct confrontation might be a bit difficult.

He probably wouldn’t get the lion’s share of the spoils this time, and even the scraps would be hard to come by. But being able to dip his toe in the water was already a pleasant surprise.

“Don’t you know the ‘Universal Language’ spell?” the fly demon asked Lynn.

Lynn silently shook his head.

‘Universal Language’ was a two-ring spell among wizards, allowing one to quickly learn a language by reading the memories of others. But the two-ring spells were beyond his current capabilities.

“I like ambitious, unscrupulous women like her. If it were another plane without demons, perhaps I could tempt her into starting a full-scale war. If we could conquer most of the land, there would be a chance to hold a ritual to plunge it into the Abyss,” chuckled the fly demon sinisterly. “But alas, it’s a pity now.”

Lynn knew what the fly demon regretted. In the current plane, which had already descended into the Abyss, the greatest benefits naturally wouldn’t fall into its hands.

In theory, even if these nobles rebelled, they wouldn’t be able to cause much of a stir. However, the three rebel forces were said to have the shadow of a mysterious power behind them, and their momentum was unstoppable, conquering many cities.

But according to the nobles, a powerful legion stationed in the north of the kingdom had also been struck by a plague, leaving them too preoccupied to act.

“With so many rebel forces, we can cooperate with this queen. We’ll let her provide us with knowledge, flesh and blood, and we’ll deal with those rebel forces for her,” the fly demon suggested.

Lynn thought more deeply. In a plane where the Elven Court had ruled for so many years, what kind of mysterious power could there be behind these rebel forces? Most likely, this mysterious force was related to the power that guided the descent into the Abyss. Lynn doubted there would be conflict with these rebel forces.

When they meet those rebel forces, they’ll know what’s going on.

“We should set off first,” Lynn said.

“We’re moving too slowly like this. I’ll summon a mount,” the fly demon said.

Turning around, the fly demon used its fingers to slit the throats of everyone except the nobleman, using the bodies and blood to sketch out a seemingly uncomplicated array on the ground.

Standing at the edge of the array, a faint black mist was emitted from its body.

Under the black mist, the teleportation array gradually emitted a faint glow.

The bodies on the ground quickly shriveled up, all their essences of flesh and blood devoured.

In the next moment, the dried blood smeared on the ground suddenly became vividly red and glaring.

The red blood light illuminated Lynn’s cheeks.

Within the summoning array, a giant monster, resembling a pterosaur in size appeared—with a long tail full of spikes, two horns, and a bird-like appearance, appeared in the summoning array.

Demons. These people were definitely demons.

The nobleman’s eyes widened in fear at the sight.

He had never seen such terrifying monsters before. Apart from the man who had interrogated him, both the other one resembled a giant fly and this giant monster looked like demons from legends.

And in his eyes, Lynn, who could converse and joke with these demons, had also turned into a demon disguised in human skin.

The summoned monster, upon seeing the fly demon, affectionately extended its long tongue to lick the fly demon’s feet.

“This is my pet, the evil-winged bird,” the fly demon explained. “Riding it is faster than walking.”

The fly demon climbed onto the evil-winged bird’s back. When it was Lynn’s turn, the evil-winged bird suddenly turned its head and emitted a sharp cry.

Thwack!

A sudden slap from the brute force demon behind Lynn struck the evil-winged bird across the face.

Directly stunned the evil-winged bird.

This strange bird stared blankly ahead. After receiving a hefty blow, it seemed to snap out of it in an instant.

Extending its long and slender tongue, it gently licked Lynn’s boot, its eyes full of flattery.
