The jeep sped along the road. Xu Mu drove with an expressionless face. The woman in the black skirt looked at him for the twenty-third time.

"..."

What's going on with this elf?

Xu Mu glanced at her and said, "Miss in the black dress, if you have anything to say, just say it."

“Ah, yeah.”

For some reason, the black dress felt a bit restrained.

"Cough cough!"

She cleared her throat before saying, "Um...Mr. Xu, you can call me Black Skirt, or like Lord Fallows, call me Little Skirt."

ha?

why?

I don't know you well, and we don't look like the same kind of people.

Xu Mu looked confused and said, "Just call me Xu Mu."

"Uh-huh...Mr. Xu."

"..."

Are you listening to me?

Lady in black dress.

The hunter's cabin was not far from the Free City. In just a moment, the car was on the road and the Free City was visible in the distance.

The woman in the black dress took a deep breath and said, "Um... Mr. Xu, you know what? My compatriots and I are now living in the Rose Demon King's Palace. I think I should call you 'Sir Archon'."

Oh!

Is that true?

No wonder, no wonder the girl in the black dress didn't pursue the sword attack from Xu Mu, and even looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xu Mu smiled and said, "Since you've been to the Rose Demon King's Palace, you should know that I'm no longer the Chief Consul. I wanted to resign, but the Rose Demon King wouldn't let me. When she wouldn't let me, I secretly ran away—and for that, I even had several fights with her subordinates. The Rose Demon King claimed I was a traitor and said she would hunt me down at all costs."

The girl in the black dress was stunned, as if she didn't know about these things.

She blinked and tilted her head. "Is that so? However, there's still a statue of you in the Rose Demon King's Palace, and the position of Chief Archon is still vacant... Mr. Xu, I believe the Rose Demon King still misses you."

"..."

is it?

Ok……

It is not impossible.

In Xu Mu's impression, the Rose Demon King's body shape was no different from that of a child, and her mind was not mature, but she was not evil or cunning, on the contrary, she was very simple.

If it weren't for her simplicity, she wouldn't have been betrayed, and she wouldn't have needed Xu Mu's rescue.

The jeep slowed down, and Xu Mu showed a bit of nostalgia and asked, "Is the Rose Demon King Palace okay?"

The woman in the black dress smiled. "Excellent. The demons there are well-mannered, polite, and cultured. They've completely overturned my impression of the average demon palace. It's a very stable society, with no discrimination or prejudice within it. It's very inclusive."

"..."

I didn't ask you that.

Forget it.

Since it is stable, it means there are no accidents.

He asked without reason, "Have you reported my presence here?"

The woman in the black dress nodded and said, "We reported it immediately, but no news has been sent back yet."

is it?

Xu Mu stepped on the accelerator and the jeep quietly accelerated.

After a brief exchange, the woman in the black dress didn't know what to say and fell silent again. After all, they were the only two people in the car, so Xu Mu felt he should say something: "Black Dress, you and Fallows—are you on good terms?"

"Ok?"

The woman in the black dress considered for a moment and said, "Lord Farrows is very knowledgeable. I can learn a lot from him."

Oh, really?

What else can you learn from that old man except being slick and cunning?

Xu Mu asked again: "What is the purpose of your visit to the Central Land this time?"

"To resurrect the Demon King."

"Faros resurrected the Demon King in order to obtain his genes. Why did you resurrect the Demon King?"

The woman in the black dress was very calm. "I hope to receive the Demon King's blessing. I need strength. The Rose Demon King gave his blessing to my mother. I am not qualified to receive it again."

Oh……

The Demon King possesses a unique ability that can grant others wisdom and force, allowing them to become powerful masters in a short period of time - just like the purple potato demon Sky Wing King we saw earlier.

no doubt.

The Sky Wing King is something blessed by the Demon King.

In general.

In the cultural customs of the Demon King, only one person in a tribe can receive the Demon King's blessing and thus be crowned the "king" of the tribe.

If the mother of the black dress accepted the gift, then the black dress is not entitled to it unless her mother is willing to transfer the gift.

After all, it’s not possible to have two people in charge.

Wearing a helmet is not an option either.

The woman in the black dress continued, "Lady Farrow's plan is simple. We will revive the Demon King before the Northern Lord discovers him. The ancient Demon King once promised to fulfill a wish for anyone who helped him regain his life—that wish was to grant me power. After that, Lady Farrow will use the 'Demon-Slaying Divine Light' to slay the Ancient Demon King, extract the ashes, and obtain his genes."

what?

Xu Mu turned around and asked, "Isn't the demon-slaying divine light supposed to last ten days? If nothing unexpected happens, do you have ten days?"

The Central Land didn't send soldiers to guard the magic circle, so with Farrows, the black skirts, and the others...

Guard it with your head for ten days!

Without saying anything else, that Sky Wing King was enough to give them a hard time.

"We've set up not nine, but twenty-seven secondary magic circles. If all twenty-seven of them were to take effect simultaneously, it would only take ten seconds to kill the Ancient Demon King."

but--

The woman in the black dress tilted her head and said, "For some reason, Lord Farrows didn't do that. The remaining eighteen secondary magic circles are all operational, but he only showed nine of them."

Xu Mu thought for a moment and said, "The doctor might want to stay in the central area for a while."

"?"

Black skirt tilted head.

Xu Mu continued, "He deliberately prolonged the time it took to kill the Demon King in order to show off in front of the senior officials in the Central Land and increase his presence as much as possible. He's already at the scene, and everyone will be praising him until he's completely killed the Demon King."

"Is that so?"

Black dress, still looking confused.

do not know.

My guess.

……

……

No. 88, Zuo'an District, a rented warehouse.

Xu Mu loaded several sacks of star sand onto the car, estimating that they weighed about a hundred pounds. Then he said to the woman in the black skirt standing by the car, wearing a black beret, "Do you have a place to stay in the city?"

"No."

The woman in the black dress answered simply.

Fine……

We all came from the Rose Demon King's Palace, so we were half-hometown people. From the way the woman in the black dress spoke, it seemed her homeland had been brutally massacred by human invaders, which was quite pitiful, to be honest.

There was certainly some unpleasantness before, but it’s better to resolve a feud than to create one, and it’s just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks anyway.

Xu Mu got in the car and said, "Get in, I'll take you back to my home."

The woman in the black dress smiled meekly and said, "Mr. Archon, won't you ask me if I'm willing?"

Xu Mu smiled and said, "The doctor asked me to take care of you for a few days. I can't just kick you out to a hotel. Of course, if you really don't want to, I won't force you."

"Of course I do." The woman in the black dress sat in the passenger seat and smiled again. "I'm sorry to bother you for a few days, Your Excellency."

"..."

All said.

Don't call me Archon.

Chapter 126 #124 You didn’t expect it!

"Excuse me—"

The black skirt made a sound, she took off her shoes at the entrance, and walked into Xu Mu's house wearing black stockings.

Um--

Very simple.

There is nothing special about the interior decoration, giving people a slightly "cold" feeling, a home that is not warm enough.

Mr. Xu... should be single.

The woman in the black skirt thought silently.

Xu Mu didn't quite understand the concept of "injury". After all, whether he was playing games or now, he had no experience of "recovering from injury".

After asking, I learned that if an adventurer broke a bone, he would need to recuperate for at least a month.

Healing professions can speed up this process, but the bones they create are relatively fragile and not as strong as those that can be healed on their own. If it's not necessary, most adventurers will choose to heal slowly.

Xu Mu took her to the guest room on the second floor and said, "You will stay here for the time being."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Excellency the Archon."

"You're welcome. You can take a rest first."

"Yes."

The woman in black skirt watched Xu Mu leave and closed the door carefully.

She took a deep breath and suddenly lifted her skirt, revealing two straight, slender legs. Various parts were tied to those legs.

The girl in black dress was very skillful and put all the parts together to form a fax machine!

Finally, she dug out a "philosopher's stone" from between her breasts and installed it in the core of the fax machine.

A soft "hum" sound was heard.

The fax machine has power and begins pre-starting.

The woman in the black dress looked alert and cautiously looked towards the door. After confirming that there was nothing unusual outside, she flew her fingers and typed on the fax machine keyboard -

"Respected Lord Rose Demon, your loyal subordinate Black Skirt sends you greetings."

"Under Lord Farrow's planning, I managed to approach the Archon with almost no effort. It was all so simple, yet this simplicity was also incredibly deceptive. I don't know what the Archon thinks of me. It seems he kept me here purely out of 'goodwill.'"

"If it's just out of 'goodwill', then the day my injury heals, I'll have no reason to stay with him."

"Therefore, I dare not say that I have successfully lurked."
