After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

Most of the masters in the central area secretly went to the abandoned Demon King's Palace. Two hours later, Nanasha drove there and jumped out of the car with Xu Mu, who had a headache from the bumpy ride.

As soon as I got off the car, an old man came up to me and scolded me, "Sword Saint Nanasha, why are you here so late? It's been two hours!"

Nanasha remained calm and said, "I was at the Golden Ranch at the time, and this was the fastest speed."

"Where's the Hero Candidate?"

"This is it."

The old man glanced at Xu Mu, took his hand, and said hurriedly: "Come on, come on, come on! Follow me!"

"..."

Xu Mu was bewildered and could only follow forward.

When they arrived at the portal, a group of people were already waiting. Xu Mu took a quick look and saw that they all had a powerful aura, towering like mountains, their equipment gleaming brightly. They were clearly high-level adventurers.

The old man said, "Could-be hero, come and open the door! Saving lives is like putting out a fire, there's no time to lose!"

what's the situation?

Where to follow?

Xu Mu was completely confused and felt baffled.

But this matter was obviously beyond his ability, and he was most likely just a door opener.

Without thinking too much at this moment, he stretched out his hand and pressed on one side of the door frame. On the other side, a short and fat middle-aged man with a Mediterranean appearance came forward and also pressed his hand on the door frame.

"..."

"..."

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

But no one spoke.

"Om-"

A clear sound was heard, and a vortex of blue light appeared in the middle of the stone gate, and the road leading to the abandoned Demon King's Palace was opened.

The old man who had dragged Xu Mu forward stood in front of the door and said, "Everyone, I won't go into details about how dangerous the situation is right now. Our opponent is the extremely evil Pharos, the evil magician who wields the 'Star of National Destruction' and can destroy an entire country! The responsibility on your shoulders is extremely heavy, but don't rush into anything - the rescue team will be arriving soon, and you are not fighting alone!"

"We all understand these principles, and there's no need for the chairman to explain."

The strong man who led the first rescue team showed no fear and spoke calmly.

He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, follow me!"

Chapter 62 #062 The Value of a Brave Man!

The rescue team members were of extremely high quality. They drove into the portal in an orderly manner, and no one showed any signs of uneasiness or nervousness.

After the last person entered, the old man who had brought Xu Mu along looked at Xu Mu and said, "I am the chairman of the Free City, in charge of the city's general affairs. Boy, are you Xu Mu?"

"Ah, I'm Xu Mu."

"Mr. Xu, this is an emergency. You can't leave here for the time being. The first advance rescue team just entered, and there will be a second and third batches soon. You must stay here and open the portal for them."

"..."

Xu Mu didn't say anything.

Judging from the chairman's attitude, it makes no difference whether he speaks or not.

I can't leave anyway.

Fortunately, Xu Mu didn't have much to do recently.

His Adventurer's Cup final will be held at the "Freedom Celebration" in a month. Given the current situation - if the abandoned Demon King's Palace is not taken care of, the Freedom Celebration will probably not be able to be held, so it cannot be delayed.

He nodded and said, "I understand that we have to make decisions in an emergency. I just regret that I'm not capable enough to do anything except open the door..."

"Good ambition!"

clap clap!

The chairman patted Xu Mu's shoulder and showed a relieved expression.

Beside him, Nanasha breathed out through her nose, snorted, and looked away.

The chairman added, "Follow Mediterranean to the camp. Sword Saint Nanasha, please follow me. We need your help now."

Mediterranean?

Who is the Mediterranean?

Seeing Nanasha about to leave with the chairman, Xu Mu took out the lunch box prepared by the elves from his backpack and said, "Captain Nanasha, this lunch box is for you."

"what?"

Where did the lunch come from?

Still hot.

Nanasha glanced at Xu Mu and said, "Thank you, you are very thoughtful."

After watching the chairman and Nanasha leave, the man who had helped open the door leaned closer and said, "What a wonderful woman... Look at that butt, it's moving so beautifully! Xu Mu, are you pursuing Captain Nanasha?"

Who are you!

Don't come over suddenly!

Xu Mu smiled politely and asked, "Who are you?"

"Oh! Haven't introduced yourself yet? I'm also a Hero Candidate, my name is Mediterranean."

what……

Xu Mu glanced at the bald spot on the Mediterranean's head and nodded randomly: "So we're kindred spirits! Hello, Mr. Di! I'm Xu Mu."

The two of them shook hands.

Mediterranean has lived here for a few days, so he is naturally familiar with the place.

He took the initiative to lead the way, and was quite enthusiastic: "Xu Mu, you don't look like you are from the Central Land? Where are you from?"

Xu Mu said casually, "I was born in the Kingdom of Li and recently came to the Free City."

"Oh! The Land of Etiquette! The Land of Gold, the Land of Etiquette, what a wonderful place!"

"polite."

The abandoned Demon King's Palace is of great importance to the Free City.

The 1,000 elite city defense troops stationed here were well-trained, and the camp's security was excellent. Xu Mu explained that he was a Hero Candidate who had come to help open the gate, and the sentry even produced an omniscient magic circle to confirm his identity.

After confirmation, they issued a pass to Xu Mu, asking him to keep it properly and show it voluntarily.

No problem, no problem.

Seeing how strict they were, Xu Mu didn't feel bothered at all, but felt at ease instead.

oops--

The soldiers of the Free City are well trained.

The brave candidates have a special residence, which is a simple house built of wood and stone. The conditions are not very good, but at least there are windows and a bed, which is more comfortable than a tent.

Mediterranean was familiar with the place and took the initiative to take Xu Mu to get daily necessities.

This was also Xu Mu's first time meeting other "hero candidates," so he was inevitably curious about Mediterranean. After making the bed, he asked, "Brother Hai, when did you become a hero candidate?"

"Some years."

Mediterranean was lying on the bed, flipping through a magazine.

The woman on the magazine cover is posing in a coquettish manner, and it is obvious that this book is not serious.

"I awakened as a hero candidate five years ago, but I didn't get any benefits...Brother Xu, a candidate is just a candidate. There are no privileges, and no one likes me. Only by becoming a true hero can you become successful!"

"Wow... is this true? Are heroes really that good?"

Speaking of this, the Mediterranean is no longer sleepy.

Not only was he no longer sleepy, but even the magazine in his hand seemed uninteresting. He sat up and continued, "Brother Xu, let me tell you something! The first benefit of becoming a hero is a massive boost in all your abilities! Look at me, I'm only level 20 now. If I awaken the power of a hero one day—with luck, I could soar to level 70 right now! Level 70!"

"..."

It’s only level 70, what’s there to be excited about?

Mediterranean nodded his finger and continued, "The second benefit is that after becoming a hero, you can register in any country. No country will refuse a hero's support. At that time, I can choose from country to country. I will go to the country that offers the best conditions! At that time, hehe——"

oops.

Mediterranean lay back on the bed, hissing, "Wealth and glory! Beautiful women and luxury cars! What do I want?"

what……

Xu Mu hesitated and asked, "What can a hero bring to a country? Why wouldn't a country reject a hero?"

Mediterranean glanced at him and said, "A hero can kill the Demon King! A hero is naturally able to restrain the Demon King, and has an additional, enormous bonus when fighting the Demon King. Throughout history, there are at least eight countries in ten that have had a Demon King's castle appear within their borders, and were eventually annihilated by the Demon King's army. Do you think those countries dare to refuse a hero? They all rely on the hero to kill the Demon King!"

"Oh—that's it."

Xu Mu nodded, understanding a little.

While he was playing the game, he heard about the Demon King's deeds of destroying a country.

He had also personally been to the Demon King's Castle and even served as an official in the Demon King's Castle, and had observed the Demon King up close.

The biggest difference between the Demon King and an ordinary maze boss is that the Demon King is born with the ability to command monsters.

The Demon King has a skill similar to "initiation and transmission of power", which can enlighten the wisdom of monsters and enhance their strength. Therefore, they can easily gather a large monster army for their own use.

Appeal.

Organizational ability.

Leadership ability.

There is also a stable, ready-made demon culture and social structure.

The Demon King's Castle can be regarded as a small country, and the threat it poses to human civilization is certainly far greater than that of an ordinary maze.

Combined with the Mediterranean's rhetoric -

The preciousness of the brave man is naturally highlighted.

After all, the people of the Blue Star are not players, and cannot upgrade, learn skills, and brush equipment easily and mindlessly. If they want to defeat the Demon King, they must rely on the brave adults who can attack the Demon King specially.

Xu Mu touched his chin and thought it made sense.

He smiled and said, "Brother Hai, is there any way to get rid of the word "candidate" and become a real hero? The benefits of being a hero are so good, I want to be one too."

This time, the Mediterranean sighed.

He shook his head and said, "It's good to know! Brother Xu, didn't you see that I was still just a substitute for five years? This thing is very mysterious and depends purely on luck."

is it?

Xu Mu didn't say anything, just smiled.

Chapter 63 #063 I just opened the door

"Da da da."

Inside the abandoned Demon King's Palace.

The bright red high heels made crisp sounds on the wooden floor, and the woman in the black skirt walked quickly through the corridors of the palace with an angry look on her face.

She reached out and opened a door. Looking at the old man standing in front of a huge instrument, she said, "Lord Farrows, the portal just opened again. I went to the prison to check. A prisoner disappeared inexplicably. I found this on the ground."

She placed something the size of a fingernail on the table.

The old man glanced down and said, "A miniature escape device. It's very technologically advanced. On the entire Blue Star, there are no more than ten people who can make it, and I'm one of them."

"...Is this the time to worry about technical content? What should we do now? We've been exposed, and you're not worried at all!"

"Calm down, little skirt. Most importantly, calm down."
