Outside the door of the dungeon, in addition to the imperial guard soldiers, there was also a strong long-haired man with a pair of steady eyes and a hooked nose. He said nothing and was leaning against a pillar with his eyes closed to meditate.
He was waiting for someone, that was the only thing the guard knew.
At this moment, two footsteps came, one of which was the familiar sound of hard-soled shoes.
There was a creaking sound, and two figures appeared behind the door, a man and a woman.
"Lord Claude!"
The guards stood upright, and there was no mistake. The two people who came out were none other than the Demon King and the Vice-President of the Adventurer's Guild, Rael.
"Bilox? Why are you here?"
At this moment, Leer saw the man next to the pillar and stopped.
The Demon King looked towards that person, and the other person's eyes happened to intersect with his.
"Hello, brave man of Calis, I am Leel's subordinate Pyrox."
"Nice to meet you."
The Demon King nodded to him. Regarding this Bilox, the Demon King could feel a little hostility towards him.
"I still have something to do, so let's go ahead and talk slowly."
After saying that, the Demon King left without looking back. Rael looked at Pyrox, who seemed to have something to say.
"Go back first."
"That monster...what happened to him?"
Bilox couldn't help but ask.
"If it dies, we will take part of its body back."
Leer said as she walked. She looked ahead and her tone was a little cold.
Bilox was silent, he frowned, he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
At this time, the Demon King, who had already reached the second floor, stopped. He looked out the window and watched the two people gradually moving away for a few seconds. Then he raised his head and looked at the sky. In the blue sky, he could vaguely see flying.
The shadow of the boat.
"What happens next?"
The Demon King said to himself, and then he continued to move forward towards the palace.
…
"Why didn't you refuse his gift?"
In the living room in the airship, Biroux couldn't help but ask.
Rael was sitting by the window. She looked at the dark night scene outside the window. She could see almost nothing outside, only the occasional clouds that appeared in front of her. Reflected by the light, they looked like a layer of fog.
"You know that will get you into big trouble. He wants to trick us and use our union as a bargaining chip to negotiate with those two big empires."
Bilox continued, saying that he couldn't figure out why, why Leile, who had always been calm and rational, would do such a thing. He only thought of one thing.
"Have you fallen in love with that brave man?"
He asked this question calmly. Although his expression was stable, no one knew what he was thinking.
At this time, Leer sighed, and her breath formed white mist on the glass.
"Don't ask things you know you know, I have other plans."
"Why don't you tell me what your plans are?"
Bilox felt depressed. He noticed the changes in Rael. Since she disbanded the team, he felt that Rael seemed to have some secrets and rarely complained to him.
Perhaps it was because of the housekeeper's resignation, or because after she became the vice-president, she came into contact with many secrets that could not be disclosed. Biroux expressed his understanding, but he felt very puzzled by the current matter.
Just like the brave Klaus, although the two of them looked like they were meeting for the first time, Bilox, who had been staying next to Rael, could see something strange about her. She seemed to know each other, and she pretended
Don't know.
"I don't want to involve you. You have always known my ambitions, and you should also know in your heart that it is impossible for me to climb up using ordinary means."
Rael suddenly said, and Bilox lowered his head. He understood that Rael wanted to become the guild president, and he also knew that... she would not be able to become the guild president. This is a very real problem, isn't it?
What's wrong with her origins is her gender. The person who leads the union is a woman. For an organization with far more men than women, this is an unrealistic thing.
"Then there's no need to do such quick and easy things. It's not worth your risk. We might be held accountable when we go back. Rael, have you really thought about these things calmly? You really are not impulsive...or
Deceived?"
"I don't want even you to doubt me, Pilox."
Suddenly Leer turned her head. She was not wearing glasses, and her light green eyes made Bilox stunned.
"You think too much. Go to bed early. You don't have to think so much."
After saying that, she stood up and left the room.
Bilox sighed softly and closed his eyes, feeling upset in his heart.
…
The airship returned to the union headquarters. In that steel city, there seemed to be a lot of people gathered in the very vast parking lot.
Various signal lights were flashing, the airship finally landed, the hatch opened, and Rael walked out first. She held the gift box containing the magic crystal and strode towards the crowd. The strong wind made her windbreaker fly.
Behind him is Bilox.
In addition to the guild president, four top decision-makers came here, Leo from the war department, Nera from the magic and science and technology department, Ito from the transportation department, and Monroe, who is now in charge of finance. They gathered here to prove that something big was going on.
occur.
However, none of them looked good-looking. Those around them were all key members of the trade union, and they were keenly aware of the changes at the top.
Vice President Reyelle Phoenix got into big trouble!
Everyone looked at Leer as if they were a criminal, staring at her walking over.
"It's really rare that you all welcomed me together. I guess not many people in this world can enjoy such treatment."
Leer said to everyone with a smile. Her smile was very confident. She shouldn't be so confident, because any normal person would be able to smell the strong smell of gunpowder here.
The senior management was angry, especially the current president Mullen.
No one spoke. Niela, who was also a woman, frowned. She gestured to Rael with her eyes, but it was of no use.
The one who spoke was Lele's enemy, an old guy, Ito Soga.
"You should know what you did."
Ito glared at Rael. He was not as tall as the other person, so his eyes were upward, and his hostility was obvious.
"Well, let me think about it, it should be some big event that brought you all together here overnight. Well, the wind here is very strong, and I don't want to waste my magic energy discussing it with you here."
"As a former friend, I don't want to say these words. Rael, I want to ask you to bring this, just in case."
At this moment Leo suddenly stood up and took out something that made Piroux angry.
A pair of handcuffs, handcuffs made of magic-sealing metal specially made by the union, which are generally used to deal with wanted criminals whose danger level exceeds two stars.
However, now that I have to use it on Rael, my consciousness is very clear.
"Don't get excited about Pilox, I will wear it, I will only wear it for a while, don't worry."
As Lele stretched out her hands, Ito immediately took the box in her hand. Leo stepped forward and fastened the handcuffs on Lele's wrist with an indifferent expression...
