Chapter 111 - 109: Talking Back
For two whole days and nights, Lu Hong immersed himself in a heap of messages. During this time, Ku Le’s family members delivered meals on time, each day presenting a different delicacy from the wilderness, but that did little to alleviate the impending meltdown in Lu Hong’s head.
Demon King Yan, Year 753, April, mysterious treasure light in East Coast Village, suspected to be Divine Eye.
Demon King Yan, Year 927, June, in the northern border forest, the Bai family battled the Rainbow Demon family in the wild, the Rainbow Demon family used a mind-controlling magic item, suspected to be Divine Eye, the four City Lords arrived at the battlefield, but subsequent investigations found nothing.
Every message started with Demon King Yan. It seemed the demon race truly used the years of Demon King Yan’s reign as the calendar to record time.
From the messages of these two days, although Lu Hong didn’t get much definitive useful information, he at least learned one thing—the Demon King Yan has been alive for thousands of years. All the information about the Divine Eye occurred during the reign of Demon King Yan. Lu Hong didn’t know if there were other Demon Kings before Yan, but since Yan was still in power, this guy truly was an old immortal. There’s a saying, the older, the stronger. Although the wilderness level is restricted to Second Transition Level 4, this old immortal definitely had a strong foundation.
Thinking about it now, Bai Tianhang’s idea to overthrow the demon race’s rule while Demon King Yan was injured seemed quite ludicrous. How could a powerful being who had lived for thousands of years be easily assassinated and just die? Maybe the assassination was possibly a trap set by the Demon King Yan himself, pretending to be gravely injured as a means to eliminate dissenters.
During Lu Hong’s contemplation, a gentle knock on the door sounded: "Sir Tu, I have come to bring your meal."
"I’ll go out to eat later. I’ve seen enough." Lu Hong opened the door, stretched a long stretch, and said to Ku Le’s young nephew standing in front of him, "Pagas, could you prepare some hot water for me? I want to take a bath."
Pagas nodded. "Rest assured, Sir Tu, I will prepare it immediately."
After Pagas left to make preparations for Lu Hong, Lu Hong slowly strolled through the long corridor, passing rows of studies. The intelligence stored here was not limited to the wilderness; many studies also contained messages from other planes. The majority were from Divine Grace, occupying more than ten rooms.
