Seeing the crowd that had suddenly barged in, Yasaka Kurenai was about to get angry, but when she realized that the person who came in was Mo Li, she quickly changed her expression, stood up, and invited Mo Li to sit in her seat.

"Lord Mo Li, what brings you here?"

"It's alright. Is there any news from the town right now?"

"Yes, ever since you stormed the execution ground, the residents have been living in fear, and fewer guests have come. Sato Kazuma and his group have been identified as the Demon King's army, and an arrest warrant has been issued."

Yasaka Kurenai gave Mo Li a detailed report on the recent situation in Axel, but there was nothing of use. The Empire did send a number of knights, but they returned after searching the area.

Suddenly, Yasaka Kurenai looked at Darkness, who was standing behind Mo Li, and said to her: 7

"You must be the daughter of the Dustinis family. There are rumors that you have joined the Demon King's army, and the Dustinis family is under investigation by the Southern Empire."

“Oh, Father… how could he…”

Darkness looked incredulous, never expecting that her actions would implicate her entire family.

A glint of light flashed in Mo Li's eyes; this was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve.

As a noble family of the Southern Empire, the Dustinis family held a high position and great power. Moreover, the family only had one daughter, Darkness. How could he not take advantage of this relationship?

Before long, he will personally go to Dustinis's house to confirm this so-called rumor.

"By the way, Lord Mo Li, recently there has been an aura of the undead coming from the underground city of Kiel. I went to investigate myself, and although it was only for a moment, I still sensed it."

"The undead, huh? I see. I'll go take a look."

Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well go and see if this so-called undead race is really real.

Wiz poked his chin with his hand and asked, puzzled:

"Kil's Dungeon? Hasn't it been explored by adventurers many times already? If there really are undead beings, there's no reason why they wouldn't have discovered it!"

"The reason for this problem is that the adventurers only explored the outermost layer of the cave. Because of the frequent earthquakes these past few days, one of the paths leading to the interior has been shaken open."

"An earthquake? I didn't feel anything."

"It's true. There have been frequent earthquakes in the morning these past few days, accompanied by huge explosions!"

Listening to Yasaka Kurenai's description, Mo Li couldn't help but think of Megumin's Explosion Magic. It seemed that she would release Explosion Magic once a day at the exact time.

Because Yasaka Kurenai stayed in the office, she probably thought it was an earthquake.

Mo Li nodded to himself; it seemed that this was the only reasonable explanation.

"I understand, I'll look into it. Give me the address!"

Yasaka Hong quickly found relevant information about the Kir Underground City and handed it to Mo Li.

After carefully observing the scene, Mo Li immediately decided to go to the underground city to find out more.

Meanwhile, after reviving Kazuma Sato, Aqua quietly returned to Axel with Megumin.

Huihui kept the fact that Mo Li had reincarnated her a secret from Aqua. Instead of telling her, she wore the amulet that Mo Li had given her.

The three of them avoided crowds along the way, afraid that their faces would be recognized by other adventurers.

On Axel's bulletin board, wanted posters for Sato Kazuma and his two companions were being posted.

[Sato Kazuma, a professional adventurer, suspected to be a member of the Demon King's army, bounty: 100 Eris.]

[Aqua, a professional high priestess, suspected to be a member of the Demon King's army, with a bounty of 10000 Eris.]

[Megumin, a professional archmage, suspected to be a member of the Demon King's army, with a bounty of 10000 Eris.]

The portraits of the three were neatly hung on the bulletin board, but few people paid any attention to them; such a small amount of money really made it hard to muster the desire to fight.

Whether it was lucky or unlucky, when they saw Kazuma in person, no one went to arrest him.

A hint of disdain crossed everyone's face. They were clearly wanted criminals, yet the bounty was a mere 100 Eris, not even enough to cover the cost of maintaining their weapons.

Sato Kazuma stared at his wanted poster, wishing he could tear it to shreds on the spot, tears streaming down his face.

"Why? Why is my bounty only 100 Eris?"

"It's all thanks to your low bounty that no one else has any interest in capturing us!"

"Damn it, this isn't how I expected it. Logically, we should be tracked by bounty hunters, escape for several days, be caught by them, have a big fight, and then leave triumphantly. That's the script we should be following!"

"No, you're overthinking it. Bounty hunters need to track targets with a minimum value of 100,000 Eris."

Huihui shattered Hezhen's dream. Under these circumstances, even if they swaggered into the city, probably no one would come to arrest them.

Kazuma Sato gritted his teeth, looked at the bounty posters for Aqua and Megumin, and felt a surge of displeasure.

"Megumi is one thing, but why is Aqua's amount higher than mine?"

"Hmph, they must have realized the noble status of my goddess, really. I forgive their disrespect for the goddess, Mr. Sato Kazuma of Eris 100."

"Damn it, this idiot! Someone, I've found Aqua from the Demon King's army on the wanted poster! Arrest her!"

Kazuma shouted loudly, startling Aqua, who quickly covered his mouth and looked around.

Unfortunately, no one was willing to arrest them for such a small amount of money, and their plan was aborted.

The guards at the door merely glanced at them and ignored them; after all, completing even a simple novice adventurer quest would earn them a reward of 50,000 Eris.

Chapter 304 The Dungeon Trap, The Great Magician Gil

Following the address given by Yasaka Hong, Mo Li and his group found the new road leading to the underground city of Kiel, which had been opened up by the "earthquake," and it was quite a long way from Axel.

Wiz had been here a few times before and was quite familiar with the layout of the dungeon.

"Is this the dungeon built by the great mage hailed as the strongest in the country? It is said that he lived here in his later years, and no one knows what secrets it holds."

"I can sense it, Lord Mo Li, there is indeed the aura of the Undead inside!"

As the lich king of the undead, Wiz was born with a strong sense of the undead. Even from a great distance, she could still sense the presence of the undead.

Mo Li's lips curled up slightly. Sure enough, could he be the legendary great magician?

"Interesting. Let's go and meet this so-called undead!"

"Hey, should I come in too? Or should I stay outside and watch the luggage for everyone?"

Youyou's expression became tense, and her legs trembled involuntarily, as if she was terrified of the environment.

Mo Li smiled. She was a demon herself, so why would she be afraid of those low-level ghosts?

"It's okay, Youyou. Just follow Darkness obediently. If there's any danger, let her take the damage first, and you can just run."

"Wait, while I do look forward to being tormented by those ghosts, you don't have to say it so directly."

Darkness, indignant, immediately stood up and retorted.

Mo Li waved his hand, ignoring Darkness's resistance; her physical strength was comparable to that of some orcs.

Mo Li had already witnessed it last time; Darkness survived a direct hit from Excalibur. Although Artoria held back then, it was enough to prove Darkness's defensive capabilities.

"Rebuttal is ineffective. Alright, let's not waste any more time here, let's go inside!"

After Mo Li finished speaking, he was the first to enter the cave and quickly disappeared inside.

Darkness and Wiz exchanged a glance and entered the cave, with Youyou following closely behind.

Although the cave was pitch black, it was no different from daytime in front of Mo Li, who had the Mangekyou Sharingan.

As they descended to the lower levels, they found numerous treasure chests, but these had already been looted by previous adventurers, and they did not see any undead.

The four arrived at a stone wall, which marked the furthest the novice adventurers could reach.

"It's a stone wall, there should be some kind of mechanism or something, let's look for it."

"There's no need for that, drink up!"

Faced with the stone wall blocking his way, Mo Li never bothered to seek out any mechanisms.

He raised his right arm and struck the stone wall hard, shattering it and revealing the passage behind it.

Mo Li snorted coldly. This was the Demon King's way of advancing, shattering all obstacles.

"Ahead lies uncharted territory, right? Maybe there'll be a whole bunch of treasures!"

"Hmph, I'm not interested in treasure, but you're right about one thing, Youyou: I smell a strong, annoying aura of the undead."

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Youyou, who had just mustered up her courage, immediately hid behind Darkness again.

From the depths of the cave, roars could be heard from time to time, the sounds sending chills down one's spine.

Mo Li snorted coldly. He didn't believe in the idea that a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. He released a little bit of the Demon King's pressure, and the roar immediately disappeared, making the entire cave eerily quiet.

As Mo Li and his group ventured deeper into the area, they encountered an increasing number of low-level demons, but none of them dared to act recklessly in front of Mo Li and Wiz.

A demon king and a lich; their biological instincts compelled them to constantly flee from these two.

"That's really strange. Such a large underground city doesn't even have a single trap. That's really odd!"

"Mr. Mo Li, look, look! There's a treasure chest here! Wow!"

Youyou pointed to a golden treasure chest and walked over happily; this was the first time she had ever found a treasure chest.

Previously, because no one was willing to team up with her, Youyou could only solo monsters on the surface and had never gone into dungeons with teammates.

Wiz immediately recognized it as a trap and was about to warn Youyou when Moli stopped him.

He could obviously tell that it was a trap set by the dungeon mimic monsters, but since Youyou was so interested, how could Mo Li possibly dampen her enthusiasm at this moment?

Mo Li glared at the mimic monster, his meaning clear: if you dare to make a move, I'll tear you apart alive.

A bead of sweat appeared on the mimic monster's face. It is human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm, and monsters are no exception. Even when it slowly approached, it dared not make the slightest movement.

Youyou opened the treasure chest, looked inside, shook her head in disappointment, and said:

"Hey, why is it empty? That's strange, why are there sweat stains on the treasure chest?"

"It's probably just condensation. Let's keep going, Yoyo!"

Mo Li was very satisfied with the mimicry monster's performance and led the group away from there.

The mimic monster breathed a sigh of relief. This dungeon was too dangerous. Besides adventurers, how could there be such a terrifying creature as a demon king?

As Mo Li and his companions ventured deeper, they encountered numerous unintelligent demonic creatures that lunged at them.

However, Wiz blocked them all, and with just one ice spell, he wiped out all the attacking monsters.

"Lord Mo Li, the aura of the Undead is growing stronger; we are probably very close to it."

“Very good, let me see if the undead hidden in the dungeon are really that legendary great mage.”

"This way, Lord Mo Li, he's right behind this wall!"

"I've finally found you! Crush it, Darkness!"

When Darkness heard Mo Li call her name, she didn't react for a moment. Just as she was about to raise her greatsword to slash at it, the wall disappeared on its own.

Inside was a huge room, from which came a chilling voice:

"This aura... is it a lich? No, there's an even more powerful being... a demon king?"

"Who are you and why are you here?"

"I am Gil, the evil sorcerer who created this dungeon and abducted the noble lady!"

Long ago, there was a great magician named Gil who fell in love at first sight with a noble lady who happened to be taking a walk in town.

Knowing that this relationship would not work out, Gil devoted himself wholeheartedly to the practice of magic.

Finally, Gil became the most outstanding archmage in the country.

To recognize Gil's contributions, the king held a banquet for him and offered to grant him one of his wishes.

Kiel's only wish from beginning to end was to bring happiness to the abused people he loved.

"After I said that, I kidnapped that noble lady!"

Kiel proudly stated that although he was now just a skeleton, his expression still showed that he had no regrets.

After hearing about this, Darkness glanced at Mo Li very subtly, then turned her head away.

This behavior is exactly the same as the scene where Lord Mo Li kidnapped me. Does that mean Lord Mo Li fell in love with me at first sight? This kind of thing... this kind of thing...

Mo Li stared at Darkness, who had suddenly become shy, her face full of questions. "What's wrong with you?" she thought, her face flushing.

After hearing this, Youyou was deeply moved, and a few tears even rolled down her cheeks.

"So you built this dungeon just to be with that lady? How thoughtful of you."

Hearing Mo Li praise him, Gil moved the bones in his throat and continued:
