Chapter 191 Demon
"Father, please dispatch your guards to eliminate this Demon King cadre who has escaped from the front lines. Alternatively, we can request reinforcements from the capital. We absolutely cannot miss this rare opportunity. Beldia's itinerary has already reached us. There's no need to be on guard in other towns."

This suggestion made Alderp somewhat tempted. If he could lure the prince over, he could directly possess his body in one go.

As for his adopted son, he would serve as his subordinate after he became a prince. It wouldn't be a waste of all his efforts to train him. Choosing someone like him was not easy.

So he said to his adopted son, "I will write to the capital asking for help. In the meantime, tell everyone in the Adventurer's Guild to be careful. Don't provoke the Demon King's army leaders."

Lu Chen looked at the somewhat confident Alderp and guessed what he was planning, but Huihui would give him a big slap in the face.

"Give this adventurer some money and ask him to pass the message to others. Now, all of you, leave."

Lu Chen looked at the many guards around him, not sure whether his stand could be seen by the mages with magical vision.

Otherwise, the alien world would be harmed, and if Alderp died, Maxwell might lose control.

Dealing with the Demon Duke is not easy. I have to find a way to reveal the artifact to Chris. Then I can let the goddess kill Maxwell and eliminate Alderp myself.

Or you could wait for Vanir to arrive and use him, but this demon is very difficult to deal with. It's best not to meet him unless necessary.

Aldap had no idea that Lu Chen had already started planning to kill him, and waved at Lu Chen with some disgust.

He was very unhappy that such a commoner came to his mansion, especially since this person was so powerful.

Bart then said to Lu Chen: "Please come with me, I will give you the reward."

Lu Chen didn't show any personality towards this kind of person. After Alderp's death, he should be able to manage the territory well.

After walking out, Bart handed the money to Lu Chen and instructed:
"Please bring this information to the Adventurer's Guild and ask everyone to be careful when going out during this period. Please also tell Miss Luna that I will continue to provide food for the adventurers at the street corner. I hope we can all get through this difficult time."

"You've thought it through perfectly. This matter should be over soon." Lu Chen said casually.

When this matter will end depends on when the Headless Knight can no longer bear Huihui's bombardment. According to the novel, the Headless Knight endured for a month before coming here.

Come to think of it, the Headless Horseman actually seems to have a decent temper.

Lu Chen arrived at the Adventurer's Guild with all his thoughts in his mind. After seeing the teller, he told her Bart's order.

"The Demon King's army has set up camp outside the city, so the lord's son hopes you can tell other adventurers about this."

The teller couldn't believe that such a thing could happen.

"How could this happen? Isn't this a novice village?"

"It seems something went wrong, but the news is true. Bart will continue to distribute food to adventurers at the street corner."

"I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible. I will remove all quests going in that direction. Besides, the number of monsters has decreased recently, so there really aren't many quests left."

"This is best."

The next day, Lu Chen sat in the guild and watched the adventurers looking dejected because they had not found a suitable task.

Lu Chen was on vacation and had no plans to fight the Dullahan yet. Not long after, the He Zhen team of four arrived at the guild and decided to take on a quest. They hadn't done any quests in a few days.

Upon hearing this, Aqua shouted to Kazuma, "That woman must have attracted this enemy. She must be doing something shady with the Demon King's army."

Although Aqua was just making a wild guess, she was right in this matter.

"She's not that kind of person. This matter probably has nothing to do with Wiz." Kazuma retorted, tapping Aqua's head.

"It must be her existence that caused my bad luck. I caught all the lettuces when I was trying to catch cabbages." Aqua tried to blame her mistake on others. After all, she was a goddess and she would never make mistakes.

The flying cabbages that attack humans speak of the difference between this world and the others. It's said that the main reason Kazuma doesn't cook is because he can't beat the food he cooks. He's even lost to the weeds in the yard.

"This is clearly your own problem. Don't put the blame on others. Besides, aren't you trying to defeat the Demon King? This is a good opportunity to weaken him."

"I don't think we're any match for the Demon King. Actually, this world is quite interesting." Aqua was already eating, having been fed. So her words were quite difficult to understand.

Everyone in the guild likes Aqua very much because she often comes here to perform.

Kazuma sighed helplessly and looked around. Seeing Lu Chen, he greeted him and said, "Hey, Senior, you're here too. Didn't you get any missions today?"

"I'm on vacation and someone suggested I take some time off. I agreed."

"Oh, I didn't expect that a cadre from the Demon King's Army would come to a novice village like ours. There's absolutely no need for them to come to a place like this."

Lu Chen lowered his voice and said to Kazuma, "Actually, he has many reasons for coming here, such as this goddess."

"So you think this is Aqua's fault?"

"Guess what was the reason for the mission I took on before?"

Kazuma remembered Lu Chen's previous mission, so he also asked quietly: "The Demon King's army shouldn't be aware of Aqua, right?"

"Shouldn't be, otherwise they would have attacked the town long ago."

Kazuma finally felt relieved: "You're right. Then we should continue to complete the mission. The cost of living in this world is so high. We can hardly afford to live in a stable." Kazuma cried poor to Lu Chen in order to get some help.

Huihui yelled, "Let's do this mission. The bounty is half a million."

"Don't you think we have the strength to deal with this kind of enemy? Reject!"

"Kazuma, I'm going to do this mission."

After some debate, they chose to purify the polluted water source, which happened to be in line with Aqua's expertise.

While Aqua was watching the crocodiles up close in the lake, Kazuma continued to carry Megumin to the old place and cast explosion magic.

The Headless Horseman was bombarded again.
