"However, because you go all the way here, there's something I'd like to request. And that you bring Rui out of this island."
"Sister?!" Sui widened his eyes in shock, never expecting this kind of request.
Noel, on the other hand, remained silent as if he were trying to see through his intention.
"Father..." Rui looked down for a moment before turning to Noel. "I also have a condition since I'm going to get involved in this."
"Rui!" Dhui frowned.
Rui didn't care. She simply continued while pointing at the headband she was wearing. "Take a look at this. This is what you want. And if I have to leave the island, it means the clan will lack another expert of my caliber. If that's the case, I need to put a condition as well!"
Noel closed his eyes for a moment.
"RUI!" Dhui raised his voice, trying to stop his daughter. However, Noel raised his hand and interjected him. "Depends on the condition. What do you want?"
Rui took a deep breath. She raised four fingers. "In this area, there are four overlords. Well, you know them as Ancient Demons.
"I want to kill two of them at the very least before leaving this island."
"Rui..." Dhui clenched his fists. He knew how powerful the Ancient Demons were. If they fought against them, there was a huge chance they would be injured in the process.
While getting weakened, it would be bad if the other clans were to attack.
Hence, it was better for them to fight the demons that threatened the clan. Since both of them would leave, it meant her father would remain at full strength while two of the ancient demons had died.
If it was only two ancient demons, the clan could take care of it while making sure other clans didn't take advantage of their weakened state.
Dhui clenched his fists. If he followed this arrangement, they would definitely gain a lot. Still, it meant Noel would be injured after fighting two ancient demons.
"Oh, by the way, you don't have to worry about the ancient demons. If you can locate them, I'm most grateful. After all, it means I can hunt them all."
"Hunt them all?" Rui gasped.
"Yes. To fight the demon king, I have to become a spirit king. Hence, I need ancient demon crystals. If you give me those demon crystals, let alone two, I will kill all four ancient demons. Of course, the body will belong to you since they are precious resources."
"This..." Rui looked down. "It's not that I'm looking down on you. Do you know how strong the ancient demon is?"
Noel raised his hand, stopping her. "My wife and my subordinate are also in this town. My subordinate is a powerful spirit grandmaster, while my wife has similar strength to me."
"!!!" All of them dropped their jaws.
"If needed, I can bring in another spirit transcendence, but I don't think it's necessary. With three spirit transcendences and one spirit grandmaster, do you think we are unable to kill all of them?" Noel turned to Rui. "Of course, since this is your condition, I hope you can participate in this battle to make things easier for us."
"O-Of course!" Rui furiously nodded.
Noel smiled and turned to Dhui. "What do you think? We're planning to stay here for one month or 30 days. In that case, we can take down one ancient demon every week. If you can help us with locating them and the accommodation, we will take down all four ancient demons.
"Besides, my wife and I have killed an ancient demon during our voyage here. I don't want to boast, but we are experienced in killing ancient demons."
Rui clenched her fists. If this was how he treated other people, Rui swore she would work hard when she came to his place.
Dhui stood forward and clasped his hands. "We will provide you with the accommodation, resources, and information for the next thirty days. Of course, we will also enable trade and ensure safety.
"If you are able to do this, we will recognize you as our eternal friends and Rui will join your force to fight against the demon king."
