Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Yang Yu stared at Rosalind, daring to appear directly as an Enchanting Demon, openly declaring her Demon Clan identity, indicating that she most likely genuinely wanted to invite Yang Yu and his group to the Count Blood’s ancient castle.

Really so blatant...

No, it seems I am the one blatantly stepping onto their territory, and they are merely coming out to greet the guests.

Speaking of which, have they really been continuously monitoring our movements?

Though it feels somewhat like being watched, neither Iyas nor Bai Jin have sensed the presence of bats, indicating they’re observing everything from quite afar.

As for whether they have eavesdropping methods to hear all previous conversations, Yang Yu can’t be sure at the moment.

”Our identities truly can’t hide from you. You came too quickly.

So tell me, what purpose does your master have in finding me?

I won’t just follow you for no reason.

What if it’s a treacherous dinner, where there’s no return?

After all, in the war between Wansheng Republic and Luo Ze Empire, I did cause a lot of trouble for you, directly bankrupting your plans.”

Rodrinda responded respectfully: ”On this, please rest assured.

My master is not a petty person; for larger goals, he can weigh the pros and cons.

Even if we don’t reach an agreement for the time being, my master will ensure your safety.”

Yang Yu sneered: ”Who knows? We are Human, and you are Demon Clan. Do you think we can trust each other?”

Rosalind squinted and smiled slightly: ”As the leader of the newly formed S-Class adventure group [Chasing Origin Strategy], are you so lacking in confidence in your strength and that of your companions?

You reversed the war between two nations and effortlessly conquered this Underground Maze that we spent ages trying to conquer.

Additionally, you individually defeated some of my master’s proud creations.

If we really wanted to harm you, wouldn’t you have some capability to protect yourselves?”

It’s been only a few days since the name change, yet they already know.

Seems they have indeed been watching us for a long time.

Yang Yu laughed coldly:

”Don’t think I’ll fall for this old trick.

I’m not exaggerating, but I’m terribly afraid of dying.

The place you want us to go is your stronghold, and if I asked you to visit the Goddess Sect’s Main Cathedral, what would you think?

I mean no harm, just want you to see how beautiful the cathedral built by the Goddess Sect is and how pleasant the bishops are in speaking; I quite love it there.

Would you go?”

Rodrinda smiled indifferently:

”No wonder my master is interested in you, you’re quite an interesting human.

Really, you can boldly say such cowardly words.

However, please rest assured, my master absolutely does not rank individuals by race; he admires the strong.

As long as you are strong, regardless of origin or race, he will treat you equally.

Moreover, he will inspire your potential.

The strong are not only those with outwardly displayed abilities, but also those with undeveloped potential, and incredible willpower and determination.

My master is always committed to recruiting the strong and loves to help those with unexploited potential to develop it.

As for whether my master will harm you.....

If my master truly wanted to eliminate you, you’d long be gone instead of growing to this stage.”

Rosalind’s tone was very calm but carried a hint of sharpness, as if it would be an easy feat for her master to erase Yang Yu and his companions.

At this point, Yang Yu found himself in a dilemma, with Luo Luosi behind him repeatedly chewing her straw.

Luo Luosi was seeing a genuine Enchanting Demon for the first time; she never expected to see the Demon Clan here.

Though she heard of the Enchanting Demon’s presence in the wars Yang Yu was involved in, feeling it inevitable that they’d trouble him, this was too soon.

Luo Luosi showed a worried expression, and Bai Jin and the others were watching Yang Yu, waiting for him to make a decision.

Should they fight?

Or accept the invitation and head to the castle?

If they accept the invitation to visit the castle, what should they be wary of?

After contemplating for a long time, Yang Yu said to Rosalind:

”Let us consider a bit, I want to discuss privately with my partners.”

Rosalind smiled generously and said: ”Take your time, chat as long as you need, but do give me a definite answer, so I can report back.”

With Rosalind’s permission, Yang Yu glanced at Bai Jin and said: ”Bai Jin, set up a Soundproof Barrier.”

”Understood.”

Lightly responding, Bai Jin gently waved her Magic Wand, and a Barrier emanated from its tip, enveloping Yang Yu and the others.

This Magic Barrier is sturdier than ever before; they can’t be careless facing the Enchanting Demon.

Once the Barrier was set up, Yang Yu began explaining his thoughts.

Initially, Rosalind referred to He Meng as Chongdu, and logically, if Count Blood had been monitoring Yang Yu, he should know Chongdu is He Meng in disguise, yet Rosalind acted particularly naturally, as if she was entirely unaware of this.

Yang Yu considered this Rosalind’s gesture of sincerity towards them.

If they accepted their invitation, they would inevitably associate with Thorny Scale Lizard.

Yang Yu had killed one of their important officers, and if He Meng’s true identity were uncovered now, it would inevitably create an irreconcilable conflict between Yang Yu and Thorny Scale.

Depending on the degree of smoothness in the conversation, Rosalind might provide varying explanations for Chongdu’s death, mediating the situation.

If Yang Yu and his companions consistently displayed a firm refusal, Rosalind might unhesitatingly expose them on the spot.

Yang Yu wasn’t afraid of being pursued.

With their current strength, capturing them would undoubtedly come at a high price.

Though not entirely certain, Yang Yu vaguely sensed Count Blood’s intentions.

As long as he wasn’t completely enraged or made to feel threatened, Count Blood shouldn’t stir up a great commotion over them.

Direct refusal is currently the safest choice.

But Count Blood must eventually be strategized against; only by completely eliminating Count Blood can the subsequent safety be ensured.

Yang Yu ultimately knew little about this Demon King Four Heavenly Kings.

This invitation was an opportunity to meet him, gain information, and then escape smoothly to prepare for a thorough strategy against Count Blood.

Perhaps they might gain some special intelligence from him.

But accepting the invitation, fighting on their turf involves undeniable risks.

This is an opportunity where risks coexist with rewards.

Yang Yu felt that the opportunities overshadowed the risks, hence should accept the invitation.

Of course, Yang Yu wouldn’t simply accept someone’s invitation and stride into their stronghold without caution.

He strives to ensure everyone’s safety.
