The Grand Knight quickly said," Lord Viscount, please forgive me. It was someone else who killed Mayor Chalk. It wasn't a Necromancer at all. Even I barely escaped."”
"Someone else?"
Viscount Goode sneered and said to his maid proudly,""See, I told you it wasn't a necromancer's doing.”
"Lord Viscount is wise." The maid quickly agreed.”
"Then tell me, who killed Mayor Jock and even caused the knights and the investigation team to not return?”
Viscount Goode's gaze fell on Grand Knight Kelly again. He then slowly picked up his exquisite teacup and was about to drink some milk.
Being in a high position for a long time had allowed Viscount Goode to accumulate some dignity of a superior.
Goode Town was an important town on the border of the Rhode Kingdom. If one didn't have some ability and was just a popinjay noble, they wouldn't be able to sit on the position of chief!
Grand Knight Kalil hesitated for a moment before answering,""The other party calls himself the Demon King."
"Puff!"
Viscount Goode spat out the milk that he had just taken a sip of.
"What did you say? Demon King!"
Viscount Goode was frightened. His eyes were wide open as he stared at Grand Knight Karel below. His voice was several times louder.
There was no comparison between a Necromancer and a Demon King.
A Demon King was a thousand times more terrifying than a Necromancer!
The two were not on the same level at all.
"You mean the Demon King?"
Viscount Goode gradually calmed down and said with a smile,""I think you know about the Divinity's War from decades ago, right?”
"The humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and other powerful beings of the Norland Continent have surrounded the seven demon kings.”
"That battle caused the seven demon kings to either die or be injured. All of them went into hiding. Only then did our human countries, dwarf countries, and other races and kingdoms develop rapidly.”
Viscount Goode spoke slowly and beckoned for the maid to bring him a wine glass. He poured a glass of red wine for him.
Then, Viscount Goode held a goblet of red wine and stood in front of the French windows, admiring the charming moonlight outside the window and the rare peace.
He told the story of the Great War of Gods and Demons to Grand Knight Kallie.
The reason Viscount Goode was so passionate about this legend was because one of the heroes who had participated in the war, the Holy Knight, had once given his ancestors a piece of bread.
Therefore, Viscount Goode's family had always regarded this as an honor.
Some people even said that the Holy Knight's Bread was the reason why their ancestors could rise from the poor and obtain a noble title.
After Viscount Goode finished speaking, Grand Knight Kelly told him about his encounter with Demon King Gu Chuan in the tavern, as well as how he was led to the underground city by Demon King Gu Chuan and was ambushed.
Of course, in the version of Grand Knight Kelly, Demon King Gu Chuan became a cunning and evil demon.
As for his Grand Knight, Karel, he fought bravely.
The battle in the Buried City was especially thrilling. His teammates and comrades all told him to leave, but the Grand Knight Kallie insisted on staying and protecting his comrades until the last moment!
When all of his companions died in battle, Grand Knight Kai Lie had no choice but to use the secret technique of burning his blood essence to escape from the underground city.
Hearing this, Viscount Goode was slightly moved, but his face immediately darkened.
"Buried City, does that mean that this self-proclaimed Demon King already has his own strength outside of Grimm Town?”
"If that's the case, then it's going to be difficult. The Demon King's Lair will be a malignant tumor, deeply rooted at the borders of the kingdom.”
Viscount Goode thought for a moment and asked," Karel, you've fought with that demon king before. Do you know how strong he is?"”
When Grand Knight Kelly saw that Viscount Goode did not pursue the matter of the investigation team and the knights being wiped out, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, Grand Knight Kelly thought about it seriously and said,""That demon king is very powerful. Even if I join forces with the other knights, we are still no match for him.”
"According to my deduction, the demon king's strength is probably close to the level of a commander.”
"Knight Commander?"
Viscount Goode heaved a sigh of relief.
At the very least, he was not a Paladin.
"What is the strength of the Demon King's Underground City?”
Viscount Goode asked again.
"Military strength…"
The image of the Buried City's army appeared in the head of the Grand Knight, Kalil. There were dozens of low-level Skeleton Soldiers with tattered equipment and Skeleton Archers with rusty arrows.
"There's no military strength to speak of. They're all defeated soldiers and low-level skeletons.”Grand Knight Kelly lowered his head and said truthfully.
"Low-level skeleton soldiers, huh? If we ask the commander to lead a team of knights, can we clear that devil's den?”
"One Knight Commander and ten Knights are enough to eradicate the Demon King's underground city!”
"The Buried City's soldiers are fearless, mainly because their Demon King is powerful. However, the Knight Commander and ten Knights will definitely be able to kill the Demon King.”
Grand Knight Kai Lie said with certainty.
"Alright."
Viscount Goode slammed the table and said,""Take my dispatch letter and ask the Knight Commander of the Goode Knight Regiment to follow you. Then, lead ten knights of the Goode Knight Regiment to the Buried City. You must destroy the Buried City and the Demon King!”
Grand Knight Kai Lie quickly agreed.
"Oh right, you should go with the Knight Commander and lead the way for him and the Knights. After all, you've been to the Buried City once and know the location.”Viscount Goode added.
Instantly, Grand Knight Kallil's face paled.
" Sir…I…the side effect of burning my blood essence…"
"Then go back and have a good rest! Alright, you may leave. I'm going to rest.”
Viscount Goode waved his hand and told the Grand Knight to rest early. Then, he would go to the Goode Knight Regiment tomorrow morning to look for the Knight Commander.
"Yes…Yes, sir…"
Grand Knight Karel felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, but he could only retreat.
……
On the other side, after dawn, Gu Chuan caught a random demon, peeled it, washed it, roasted it, and ate it with Catherine.
"Let's go. I'll send you back to Greene Town. At that time, you can return to Good Town with an adventure team.”
After finishing the food, Gu Chuan stood up and patted the dust off his body. Then, he said to Catherine,
"Okay, thank you, Gu Chuan. I will definitely not forget your life-saving grace!”Catherine said.
The two of them left the forest and headed to Grimm Town.
After receiving Viscount Goode's transfer order, Knight Captain Riel also brought Grand Knight Kallie and ten other knights from Goode Town to Greene Town.
