Chapter 132 The Targeted Knight Wolf
The sun rises as usual, and it's a brand new day. Wolves roam the plains, and the wolf riders can be seen everywhere.
The little beast was puzzled, and the giant beast was unaware of the cause, but it was ultimately a good thing. The knights were fighting on the front lines to eliminate the alien beasts, and Wolf Wild State seemed to have regained the familiar peace it once had.
However, not everyone is happy to see the Wolf Knights take proactive measures.
Luo Yi avoided the sight of all the knight wolves and was forced to use earth magic to eliminate his scent and traces. It took him a lot of effort and energy to finally reach the riverbank, the place Xin had asked him to meet.
"Are you kidding me? Bogaru clearly has the ability to escape on her own, yet you still made me go to help her, and I ended up getting blasted by Bogaru and almost died! Are you deliberately targeting me?!"
The resentment from the journey of being humble and submissive, along with the annoyance and frustration from being suddenly bombarded earlier, all contributed to Luo Yi's unfriendly demeanor from the moment he saw the letter. He bluntly vented his anger at the letter.
The breeze by the river was cool, and the road over the river was wide open. The once bustling thoroughfare was now deserted, with not a single boat in sight. Xin loved this tranquil atmosphere, and seeing Luo Yi's undisguised negative emotions made him feel even more pleased.
"How can we see your true abilities if we don't give you a little push? Besides, you did do unnecessary things, didn't you? Protecting humanity is not like you at all."
"Further words are pointless. Since you asked me for help, then don't interfere with my plans. You don't even give me this much trust, so how can I help you? I had my own plan to help Bogaru escape, but in the end, Bogaru ruined it all!"
Shin's carefree grin made Luo Yi extremely uncomfortable. So this was what it felt like when Haruki and Sean got angry at him back in Tsuchiya? Luo Yi never imagined he would be subjected to such a backlash.
"Of course, of course, I know you're helping me, otherwise that magic array barrier wouldn't have shattered so quickly, right? You secretly took the ore that strengthened the magic array, didn't you? You weakened the barrier without anyone noticing, your ideas are really quite clever."
Xin knew best how strong the magic array was at the time; the Golden Eagle Demon slashed at it dozens of times in the sky without even a crack.
Moreover, this magic circle is completely different from the first one. Even if the main magic circle is destroyed, the barrier can still last for a period of time. The only way to let Bogaru escape is to destroy the barrier.
Luo Yi's idea of trying to benefit from both sides—wanting to help Bogaru escape but not wanting to worsen relations with the Hero—was met with disdain by Xin.
Choosing neither light nor darkness, in the end only Luo Yi himself is tormented, but what's even stranger is that Luo Yi seems to enjoy this torment.
"Enough with the small talk. What brings you here? If you want to mock me, there's no need to risk a thorough search by the Wolf Knights, is there?"
“You’re very smart, Luo Yi, and I love doing business with smart people.”
Changing the subject, Xin stopped his earlier playful banter. Observing the sky, he realized it was already afternoon. After explaining the arrangements to Luo Yi, Xin had to set off to continue his hunt.
"I need information on all the current heroes, as well as the wolf king. I don't need any private information, just anything public. That shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
"Sure, I can get you the statistics from the guild, but I also have my own requirements."
Upon hearing this, Xin immediately sensed something was wrong. Looking at Luo Yi's expression, he didn't seem to be joking. What was he planning?
"Oh? What gives you the right to negotiate with me?"
His tone turned icy, and a white light flashed in Xin's eyes. His indifferent expression seemed to carry a sense of hatred towards everything before him.
"Because I am the only one who can meet your needs. You have no one else to rely on but me."
Faced with the naked killing intent from the otherworldly monster, Luo Yi did not show any intention to attack or defend. He simply raised his hand to summon a black circle, took out a notebook from it, which contained the guild's investigation into Haruki Zeta. Luo Yi had gotten his hands on a notebook a long time ago.
Luo Yi tossed the notebook in his hand to Xin. After a preliminary glance, Xin was convinced that the information was genuine. Luo Yi's competence and courage far exceeded Xin's expectations.
"Alright, I do feel guilty towards you. Now tell me your request, Luo Yi."
Xin withdrew his previous oppressive aura and returned to a calm state, staring at Luo Yi with an amused smile.
"Give me the knight wolf that was swallowed that night; I have a use for it."
"You want a wolf beast instead of an Ice Fang Crocodile? I really don't understand you anymore. What good will this do you?"
"Don't worry about it, big sister. Just hand over the wolf beast, and I'll give you what you want after I've finished my business. It's that simple."
Neither side wanted to waste time, so Xin stopped asking too many questions. However, once the Amethyst Knight Wolf appeared, it would directly expose Bogaru's problem. Devouring was just a spatial transfer, which was ultimately a hidden danger.
However, Xin didn't care about that now. The Wolf Knights were conducting a large-scale search throughout the Wolf Wilds State, and it was only a matter of time before he was discovered. Since his abilities would eventually be exposed anyway, he might as well use this information to exchange for information that was more valuable to him.
Xin raised his hand and extended his palm. A crack appeared out of thin air, and then a giant wolf fell to the ground, unconscious and weak. It was on the verge of death, and it was hard to imagine what it had experienced in that strange space.
Xin then departed, vanishing completely without a trace. Luo Yi fired a Shadow Arrow, giving the Amethyst Knight Wolf a boost of nutrients. They were still a long way from the Wolf King's location, and the Knight Wolf had to get there alive.
As the sunlight shifted and the sky gradually turned yellow, the village remained bustling and lively even at dusk.
One reason is that the Wolf Knights' activity area is active, and resupply and communication work must be carried out around the clock;
On the other hand, because of the presence of the Wolf Lord and the Warrior, many people came from all directions to pay their respects, to watch the spectacle, or to seek protection. In just one day, an obscure village at the foot of the mountain became the most prosperous place in the entire Wolf Wilderness State.
"The streets are so lively! This is the first time I've seen such a scene in Wolf Wilderness. I never imagined the Wolf Lord's reputation was so great."
Looking through the room window, Haruki couldn't help but sigh. Akio was also surprised by the sudden change in the village, but after thinking about it carefully, she could understand the reason.
The Wolf Wilds State is currently in chaos, repeatedly disturbed by an otherworldly monster. Everyone hopes to find a safe place to live and will try any means to achieve peace, even if the results are only temporary. It is better than being constantly shrouded in fear.
"Did you come to see me because of the Light Magic Stone, Zhaoyu? Actually, I don't know much about the Light Stone."
Haruki was inside his room when Akiha knocked on the door to greet him. Zeta lay by the window absorbing the sunlight. Belial Twilight floated in the air, enjoying the sight of humans bustling about outdoors. He never tired of watching.
"It's not entirely about the Light Magic Stones. Yao Hui, it's about me. I feel something's not right."
Zhao Yu recalled the scene of reaching out towards the setting sun yesterday. The feeling of having all her magic activated was something Zhao Yu had never experienced before. She had indeed sensed the light stone.
"When I first saw the Light Magic Stone, I didn't feel anything, but yesterday I did feel the powerful energy it possessed. It was a blazing, abundant power, and I felt very strange at the time."
"Did you receive a summon from the Light Magic Stone? Hmm... no, in that situation, it should be that you summoned the Light Magic Stone, which is why the lord was able to use Ultraman's power to turn into a red ball of light and come to the rescue in time."
Haruki's deduction is the most reasonable explanation at present, but it did not solve Zhaoyu's confusion. In fact, Zhaoyu did not want to know about the situation of the light stone, but wanted an answer...
Should I go and fight?
Given Haruki's personality, he certainly wouldn't say anything forceful or blunt. Zhao Yu knew very well that she couldn't get a clear answer from the hero, but just being able to share her confusion had already eased her mind considerably.
Yongyi Chunjing's urgent shaking immediately shattered the silence of the scene. Yaohui quickly picked up the phone and heard Ajiu's urgent shouts.
"Yaohui, are you there? I just received a notification that something's happened in the port area. The humans are going to attack Knight Wolf!"
