Chapter 171: The Hen and the Elf
That was probably what Drow had been trying to tell him, wasn’t it?
But how had Drow known all this in advance? How had he tried so hard to drop him hints—despite being unable to actually say the words?
All of this filled Illiya’s mind with questions.
One day, he would uncover the truth behind the strangeness surrounding the dark elf.
Now that he’d come to this conclusion, Illiya’s expression grew noticeably gentler.
He softened his voice to soothe the still-nervous dark elf. "Thank you, Drow. I’ll take good care of myself, don’t worry. Besides, I’m not facing all of this alone—you’re all still by my side, aren’t you?"
The moment Drow heard the latter part of Illiya’s sentence, his entire body relaxed.
Right—he was by Illiya’s side now. In the previous life, he had been lured away, but this time, he definitely wouldn’t be.
After all, many things had already changed.
Thanks to Illiya’s warning, the spies planted in the Demon Realm had already been rooted out, patrols had increased significantly, and the demons were taking the war very seriously this time around.
In their past life, although the demons had treated the pact with a measure of seriousness, they hadn’t been able to uncover the hidden threats within their borders.
That failure had triggered a series of terrible consequences, including the severe injuries Illiya suffered.
