Free Web NovelChapter 1529: Chapter 1529: Reason
The massive underground maze is distinctly layered, but there are no monsters here.
Every level is full of life, with furniture neatly arranged, exceptionally clean and bright.
Lutrola Doron walked down the stairs into the stronghold, and a little girl with twin ponytails excitedly jumped into her arms and energetically said:
"Welcome back, Mom!"
Gently stroking the little girl’s head, Lutrola Doron showed a doting smile:
"I’m back, Ailuo."
"Hey! No.016, stop clinging to mother all the time!" In the depths of the room, a red-skinned girl with braids said unhappily.
"What’s the harm! I’m the youngest sister, it’s my privilege as a little sister!" The twin-ponytail girl turned her head and stuck her tongue out at the red-skinned girl, continuing to bury her head into Lutrola Doron’s chest, "Besides, with our growth speed, these days are numbered."
The red-skinned girl pouted, glaring fiercely at the twin-ponytail girl, without saying a word. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Lutrola Doron rubbed Ailuo’s head and playfully pulled on her cheeks.
Ailuo’s eyes sparkled with tears, looking pitifully, she asked:
"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you treating me like this?"
Lutrola Doron chuckled, "Ailuo, I have things to do.
You need to hurry and improve your strength, go learn something from your sister!"
Ailuo complained, "The sisters are all too strong. Even if I ask them, they won’t teach, saying I need to comprehend on my own, but I can’t comprehend anything!"
The red-skinned girl, annoyed, spoke again: "I said rely on yourself to comprehend, just comprehend on your own. Some things aren’t that easy to teach. Talking is pointless, with the time you spend whimpering, you’d better fight a few more battles."
"Sister Duozhi, you’re resting here too?" Ailuo pouted.
"I’m not like you; I’m just digesting what I’ve learned from battles, not waiting all day for mother to return like some little kid."
"What’s wrong with that!"
The girl named Duozhi didn’t respond, just stuffed a few cookies into her mouth and left, heading to the training room upstairs.
Ailuo wanted to continue whining in Lutrola Doron’s embrace, but given what Lutrola Doron just said, she didn’t want to be thick-skinned.
As Lutrola Doron mentioned, she has a lot to do, and Ailuo doesn’t want to become a burden to her mother.
Saying "Then I’ll do as mom suggests, and try harder," Ailuo reluctantly left Lutrola Doron and headed upstairs.
Lutrola Doron composed herself, and a magic array appeared under her feet, teleporting her to a huge tiered meeting room.
Bubbles floated in the meeting room tier, exactly like the ones the giant dragon used to observe the world, displaying scenes from around the world.
Several people were there, waiting for a long time.
One had a waterfall of purple long hair, dragon eyes that captivated the soul; one dressed provocatively, exuding allure with every move, possessing confidence that made all men lose control; an aged person, eyes forming a strange inverted V, with his ever-present crocodile and eagle nowhere to be seen...
Yongfang Chunlan crossed her arms, satisfied with Lutrola Doron’s judgment:
"So far, your performance has been impeccable.
No wonder he chose you."
Lutrola Doron smirked, "Who do you think I am? Such a small matter is simple for me.
It’s just...
There’s one thing I don’t understand, if the man you spoke of is so dangerous, why not just eliminate him?
I personally think that waiting until he exhausts himself dealing with the Four Heavenly Kings is an excellent opportunity to strike.
Is it to maintain some kind of balance?"
Yongfang Chunlan didn’t deny: "It’s still too early.
That man is heading to kill the Demon King, moving at lightning speed.
If he defeats the Demon King before Lux fully grasps power, the door to the Demon World would shut.
The magic power in this world would be insufficient.
Lux knows a lot, but not every detail.
This is to be on the safe side.
If he fails, we must wait for the next demon king invasion."
"So, losing that guy would unbalance the power on this side, putting all the pressure of fighting the Demon King on the Hero?
And we can’t intervene...
You mentioned the Goddess’ Apostle has the trait of quickly growing by defeating certain targets.
If that guy defeats the Four Heavenly Kings in succession, he’d really have the ability to fight the Demon King, and if he swiftly takes the Demon King down, no matter what we do, we’ll fail?"
"This time, both the Demon King and the Goddess’ Apostle are very difficult to deal with.
If it were like the last Demon King and Goddess’ Apostle, we’d have plenty of time...
We just need to secretly provide them with some support, quietly completing a balance of power, allowing us to easily gain a lot of time."
Yongfang Chunlan raised her hand, biting her fingernails. Lux built the underground maze not just to sift Holy Sword candidates but had several other ideas,
"Furthermore...
They are also the only ones who reached the underground maze, resisted temptation, and chose to explore the truth.
If we balance the power, maybe he will try to gain more strength, choosing to unravel what is recorded in the books.
Lux mentioned...
If he understands everything, changes his mindset, we might become allies on the same front.
If after understanding everything, he chooses to continue opposing us, we need not show mercy."
Lutrola Doron sat down in an empty seat, honestly, she didn’t want to ally with someone who killed her child, "Here, what do you two think? Haven’t you lost companions at his hands too?"
Aregas, the aged one, looked up and replied:
"Compared to you, we don’t have such strong hatred for them.
We demons, in the past, were divided into many factions.
Because of the many factions, there were significant disagreements, so some demons did such foolish things, causing our creators to seal us, preventing the completion of our ultimate mission.
But don’t worry, now almost all demons have their will unified by Lord Baal.
That’s why we agreed to cooperate with you.
Our goals are aligned.
One might say that achieving that goal is the reason for our demon existence.
Well, occasionally a few stupid demons maintain their foolish thoughts, tempted by lowly interests.
No need to worry.
Lord Baal has the power to correct them.
If those annoying things have no use, Lord Baal will immediately correct them."
"Is that so?" Lutrola Doron scoffed, then asked, "You say your demons were created. I’m suddenly curious about the purpose behind your creation."
"That’s quite a long story..."
Aregas was just about to tell Lutrola Doron about the past when Yongfang Chunlan coughed:
"Some things are better told to you by him personally!
In any case...
Having him defeat the Demon King is the first step in the plan.
Before he’s confident enough to defeat the Demon King, we must ensure that the power sides do not collapse or become unbalanced."
