"Investigation again?" Lord laughed and teased, "I remember you were investigating when we first met. Are you still investigating now? Could your real profession be a scout instead of a warrior?"
The muscles on Kraft's face twitched, and a trace of helplessness flashed across his face.
He did not make any excuses, but just curled his lips and said: "I thought this war was over, but I didn't expect the next war to come.
The demon king of the demon clan has already spread his minions in all directions, and the demon clan, which had suffered heavy losses, is also recovering its strength. We still have too little intelligence on them, and we only have warriors and scouts."
He patted the longsword at his waist and said, "As long as I can protect this peace, I will do anything."
The smile on Lord's face faded a little, and he keenly caught Kraft's determination.
Perhaps even without your interference and encouragement, the other party will still embark on that fateful path.
He took a few steps forward, his voice becoming serious: "Kraft, I remember you said before that you owed me a promise."
"Yes! As long as you need anything, Lord, I, Kraft, am always available to help."
"It just so happens that I have something I want to ask you for a favor."
"Please say."
Lord took a deep breath, looked directly into the eyes of the elven warrior, and slowly spoke: "It's about the demon king Asmodeus."
Kraft's body tensed up instantly, and even his hand on the sword at his waist clenched subconsciously.
"Kraft, I hope you won't spread what I'm going to say next," Lord continued, "The true identity of the demon king Asmodeus is Eric."
Lord's words were like a stone hitting the water, causing Kraft's eyes to widen instantly.
Eric!
He lowered his head, his shoulders shaking slightly.
No wonder Norn has been reluctant to tell me about Eric.
No wonder I haven't heard any news about the other party since fifteen years ago.
No wonder that demon king also suddenly appeared fifteen years ago.
Putting all these things together, plus the usual clues, Kraft had already started to have doubts.
But when Lord revealed this cruel truth so bluntly, the impact was still difficult for him to accept for a while.
"Eric...how could he..."
Kraft's voice was filled with disbelief.
How did the former hero become the devil today? And became the source of darkness! What happened in the process?
"During the decisive battle, he was corrupted by darkness, and gradually became corrupted and twisted, ultimately being pushed to that position." Lord narrated word by word. "He has been struggling in pain. The position of Demon King does not bring him power, but endless pain and torture."
Celia stood quietly by, watching the expressions of the two, and did not choose to interrupt.
Lord saw the confusion in Kraft's eyes and continued, "I hope you can walk the world in the name of killing the world and saving the devil, and then come to Eric."
"You want me to kill him?" Kraft said hesitantly.
Eric also has deep feelings for him, and he has contributed to the other party's transformation into a powerful warrior or magician.
If an elf with indifferent emotions were asked to kill the other person now, he might not care, but Kraft was not that kind of elf.
He is older than Bielie and has experienced more, so his emotions have long since transcended the scope of ordinary elves.
It is this shackle that makes him instinctively resist this matter.
"No! I will deliver the final blow, but in the eyes of the world, I am already a vanished legend, so this honor will fall to you."
Kraft raised his head and saw shock and confusion in Lord's eyes, but it eventually turned into relief.
He looked at Lord, his voice low, as if he had exhausted all his strength: "Lord, you fellow, are you going to be the one who goes into darkness to announce death?"
"Well, I'll let you take on this honor, Kraft."
"This is truly an incredibly cruel honor!" He let out a long breath. "But..." Kraft's voice became heavy and firm. "Someone has to do this. Watching him sink is even more unbearable than sending him off myself."
He raised his head, his eyes passing through Lord, as if looking towards the Demon King's city in the distant north.
"I understand! After all, I said before that I owed you a promise, and now I'll repay it, although this repayment method..."
He smiled and said nothing more.
Lord looked at the determination in Kraft's eyes and the promise on his lips, and said nothing more, but nodded heavily.
As he just said, someone has to do it.
Lord was unwilling to sacrifice the lives of his former companions for this honor, so he had to ask Kraft to take on the responsibility.
Little did they know that Kraft was unwilling to do so in his heart.
But in the end the elf warrior agreed.
Chapter 140 Finding a Companion for You
The struggle in Kraft's eyes gradually settled and turned into a heavy determination.
He accepted this cruel mission to free Eric and to repay the promise.
Lord looked at the other party and nodded, feeling relieved, but he thought that Kraft's current strength was not enough.
Not to mention the opponent, even Lord is not strong enough if he doesn't use Orger.
Unless he is given a certain amount of time to set up a super-large magic circle and then cast an explosive magic on the Demon King's Castle, he can do this.
But the prerequisite is that the demons in the Demon King's City are not blind.
Fortunately, he was prepared.
Lord reached into the package beside him, fumbled for a moment, and took out an insignificant-looking object.
It was a disc about the size of a palm, with complex runes engraved on the surface. It looked like some kind of magic prop made by dwarves.
"Take this, Kraft." Lord handed over the disc.
Kraft took the disc and carefully examined the intricate runes on it. "What is this? It looks like some kind of magic item."
"It's not an exaggeration to call it a magic item, but be careful, it's very fragile." Lord didn't immediately explain in detail, but emphasized, "Keep it safe. When you arrive in the Demon King's Castle or stand before Eric, you can inject magic power into it and activate it."
Kraft weighed the small disc and asked, "What happens when it's activated? What can it do?"
Lord gave a slightly mysterious smile. "Well... I'll keep it secret for now. You'll know when the time comes. Just think of it as a backup plan to ensure everything goes smoothly."
"Keep it secret again?" A cold voice with obvious dissatisfaction appeared in the conversation between the two.
Celie crossed her arms and looked at Lord with a scrutinizing look.
She took a step forward and stood in front of Lord, looking up. Although she looked up at him, her aura was not weak at all: "You guy, you have been hiding it like this since before the final battle.
Now, you're going to play the same trick on Kraft?" Her voice was low, but it carried an undeniable firmness. "Tell me clearly, what exactly does this magic item do? I want to know!"
Lord looked at Celia's panting face, and felt the same questioning look from Kraft beside him, and suddenly felt a headache.
"Alright, alright, Miss Elf has spoken, how dare I disobey?" Lord raised his hands in surrender, the mysterious smile on his face turning into a soothing one. "Actually, it's just a teleportation array."
"Teleportation array?" Kraft looked at the disc in his hand in surprise.
When did the dwarves' technology become so advanced?
He has never heard of it!
And shouldn't such a large teleportation array require a large amount of magic power to activate?
The palm-sized disc in front of me doesn't look like it at all.
"Lord, is this thing really a teleportation tool?"
"Yeah," Lord nodded and explained, "Actually, I compressed a teleportation spell into this device. You could call it a magic item, but it's quite unstable and can't withstand strong impacts."
"Uh," Kraft's hand holding the disk froze, "What if it's accidentally touched?"
"Oh, don't worry about this. Even if it is accidentally activated prematurely, it will only send me here directly."
"I see." Kraft breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Lord emphasized that he had to go before the Demon King before using it. So that's how it was.
After listening to Lord's explanation, the dissatisfaction in Celie's eyes lessened slightly, but her doubts were not completely eliminated. "Just teleporting you there? There is no other purpose?"
"Theoretically, it's just a teleportation effect," Lord replied vaguely. "After all, I... um, combined it with some special technology to create it. Of course, it can only be used once, so it must be used at the most critical moment."
Kraft suddenly understood Lord's intention: "Is this what you just said, that you will deliver the final blow?"
"That's right," Lord confirmed. "The final blow must be delivered by me. This is... the final agreement between him and me."
"I understand."
Meanwhile, Celie stared at Lord for a few seconds, as if trying to judge the truthfulness of his words.
She always felt that this man was hiding something from her, but she suspected it was just her illusion.
In the end, she snorted softly, reluctantly accepting the explanation.
"Would my elf lady like to come with us?" Lord looked at Celie with a smile.
"No!" Celia refused directly, not noticing Lord's words "my elf lady".
"Well, it looks like I'll just have to be alone then."
Lord secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally he managed to fool the elf lady.
After all, he concealed the most crucial point. When the teleportation array was activated, it was very likely that more than one person would be teleported.
To be precise, it will teleport you, a guy with whom you have signed a life contract, and the area where the other person is located.
As for the other party, he is now recuperating in the kingdom of God in heaven.
At that time, the Kingdom of God in Heaven will descend upon the Demon King's City.
But it’s too early to say it now, let’s leave it until then.
Kraft solemnly put the disc into his pocket, then looked at Lord and asked a very practical question.
"Lord, although I really want to know how you will send Eric off, there is a key issue.
The Demon King's Castle gathers the remaining monsters and demons from all over the continent. There are countless powerful demons. It would be difficult for me to defeat the Demon King alone."
"Of course I've considered this." Lord gave a look of pre-arranged plans. "You won't be alone. I've already found a companion for you, a powerful priest. The two of you will travel together, look after each other, and together you will become heroes who save the world!"
"Priest?"
