Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Without much hesitation, Yang Yu accepted the task.

After all, there was no penalty for failure, so doing a side quest wouldn’t hurt. As for how to decide, it could be determined after seeing Qiuye.

After Bai Jin and Iyas finished their report, Yang Yu began to discuss the next plan.

To reduce the variables after the Demon King’s descent, Yang Yu wanted to resolve the ticking time bombs in this world as much as possible before the Demon King descended.

The [Count Blood] and the Curse Sect that wanted to summon demons were the primary targets.

As for the reborn Goblin Emperor...

The task issued by the dragon was related to it, and a large number of adventurers should unite to take it down.

With [Dragon God’s Might] backing the operation, even if it couldn’t be completely resolved, it should at least hinder the Goblin Emperor’s growth pace.

Considering this, Yang Yu decided to put the task of subduing the Goblin Emperor at the end.

If after dealing with [Count Blood] and the Curse Sect, the adventurers haven’t resolved the Goblin Emperor, or if the Goblin Emperor happens to appear on his route, Yang Yu would show no mercy.

Currently, [Corpse Collection Coffin] hadn’t found the exact location of the Curse Sect. According to Iyas’s description, finding the group hiding in the shadows would be quite time-consuming.

On the contrary, the living locations of the Wind Winged Hapi Clan and the Spiny Scale Lizard had already been identified by Owen.

By following the clues, Yang Yu should soon uncover [Count Blood]’s whereabouts.

Two super large mazes have also recently appeared on the expanded territory of the Spiny Scale Lizard. If the races driven away by the Spiny Scale Lizard can reclaim their territory, they should be able to proceed with the strategy and gather the keys.

After weighing the pros and cons, the choice naturally became clear.

Yang Yu decided to get new equipment from Brian Redbeard and immediately head to the Ocean Duchy to investigate [Count Blood] and carry out the strategy.

The situation in the Ocean Duchy was intricate, so it would be best to find a local familiar with the races to guide them.

[Island Drifting] was a ready option, but their goals were different from Yang Yu’s. They’d prefer to tackle the dragon-issued tasks.

After a brief thought, Yang Yu decided to have a word with Lang Yi from [Island Drifting] later.

After explaining the upcoming itinerary, Yang Yu discussed the alliance with Bai Jin and Iyas regarding [Red Blood Rose].

Sena was still in Bai Jin and the others’ room, and they could consult on what kind of requests would allow Gordon to agree.

Yang Yu’s requests were few and quickly listed them.

Lingshan was long gone from the corridor; drunk, she was carried back to the room by Jiao Xi and was snoring away.

Lang Yi crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, waiting alone for Yang Yu.

When the door opened, Lang Yi left the wall, blocking half the corridor, and said:

”Long time no see, that woman..., my group leader, caused you trouble.

Do you want to find [Red Blood Rose] first?

If you have time after your conversation, I have some matters I’d like to discuss with you alone.”

After speaking, Lang Yi stepped aside again.

As he passed by Lang Yi, Yang Yu slightly paused to respond:

”I also have a few matters to discuss with you, see you later.”

After a brief greeting, Yang Yu continued forward and entered Gordon’s room.

Wanjing Zhuhua, who went out, had returned. She went out so late to see if there was any information about Aslit.

As usual, no one had found any trace of Aslit.

Back at the inn and seeing Yang Yu and the others who had arrived, the previously gloomy Wanjing Zhuhua slightly lightened up.

Soon, Wanjing Zhuhua, on behalf of Gordon, started discussing the alliance with Yang Yu and his team.

The alliance discussion was very smooth. Neither Yang Yu nor [Red Blood Rose] made any excessive demands, and both parties graciously accepted all of each other’s requests.

Gordon represented [Red Blood Rose], and Yang Yu represented his adventure group, shaking hands to officially announce the formation of the alliance.

Wanjing Zhuhua brought out a Long Spear [Fallen’s Spear] and [resurrection medicine] from the Storage Scroll and handed them to Yang Yu, who unceremoniously received them into the system.

Adjusting her glasses, Wanjing Zhuhua’s lenses reflected a sharp light,

”I have given you everything that should be given, and everything that needed to be said has been said just now.

I hope you will seriously fulfill the agreement between us.

How hard it is to have a conversation with you.

We should leave here tomorrow, and I will contact you when we need your help in the future.

…...If we are too far apart, I will still give up contacting you.

After all, a distant water cannot quench a near thirst.

[Immortal Vajra] consists of a bunch of troublesome guys...

Once I go back, I’ll also try to establish contact with them to prepare for future disasters.

If you meet them then, I hope you can also accept those troublesome guys.”

After a few simple words, Wanjing Zhuhua sent Yang Yu and his group off and then began to think about how to persuade [Immortal Vajra].

Yang Yu originally intended to show his notebook to Wanjing Zhuhua, asking her to use duplication magic to make multiple copies and send them to the hands of those distinguished nobles.

But, Yang Yu reconsidered and decided against it.

The duplication magic in this world isn’t simply splitting an object into two; rather, it’s more imitation magic than duplication magic.

To duplicate an item, one must first prepare materials similar to the object’s body, even if not entirely identical,

Then, the magic user would cover the entire object with their magic power, outlining the object, carving each detail with magic power to make a precise mold, followed by channeling other magic to move materials to fill the mold, thereby duplicating the item.

It sounds cumbersome, and is even more cumbersome to operate.

Whether a magician can reproduce an identical item is one criterion for assessing their strength.

Books are the least duplicated using duplication magic, as replicating the text on a book accurately requires a great deal of time and effort.

The only benefit of duplication magic is that once the magic coverage is completed, as long as there’s sufficient magic and materials, a magician can constantly create multiple nearly identical duplicates in a short amount of time.

The reason Yang Yu’s camouflage clothes could be mass-produced initially was because the life-type magician adopted a craft similar to duplication magic.

[Red Blood Rose] has a lot of matters to attend to, and it would be better to find a time to visit the All Things Library, let the editorial department there re-edit a bit, make it a publication, and mass-produce using the printing machines there than wait for Wanjing Zhuhua to have free time to slowly duplicate the notebook.

The reason Yang Yu didn’t show Wanjing Zhuhua his notebook now also had another reason.

——Right now, it is not the right time for this notebook to be revealed.
