Chapter Sixty-Two: Killing the Demon 2

As the last vestiges of orange-red sunset faded into the horizon, the forest appeared somber.

"Yes, young master."

"Let's go back."

During the journey, Himi lowered her voice and said, "Young Master, I heard that Young Master Luther has entered the Roshi Forest."

Lu Cen remained calm: "How did you know?"

“Someone saw it and told me secretly,” Himi said, distressed. “Young Master Luther is as handsome as Adidas, but he’s a penniless wretch. Young Master, you must listen to the Earl and Lady and stop associating with him. He won’t amount to anything. You should consider Adidas instead.”

Seeing that she spoke so eloquently, Lu Cen teased him, "What if Luther successfully gets out of the Rosie Forest?"

The Roshi Forest is home to many fierce animals. Anyone who successfully hunts the designated prey and leaves the Roshi Forest will be awarded the title of Best Warrior and join the Guard Corps as a guard. This is the highest rank in the town of Sk, and no one dares to disrespect them. The Guard Corps is also responsible for patrolling the town for safety.

Himi's eyes widened: "Young Master Luther, with that small frame, can only hunt pheasants and rabbits!!"

Lu Cen couldn't help but laugh.

As darkness fell, the number of townspeople in the alley dwindled, and shops began packing up their goods to close.

The bustling sounds faded as night fell. After walking through a small alley, a round archway stood in an open space. Below it was a flight of steps, and Lu Cen and her maid stood at the very bottom. Looking up, they saw several huge pillars connecting the walls, creating a magnificent and ornate appearance.

There were two people standing guard at the entrance, dressed in Yan Shanting's guard uniform and wearing white boots.

"What's wrong, young master?"

"Let's go in and take a look."

The two guards clearly recognized him and politely addressed him as "Young Master."

Lu Cen stepped into the room, which was a large circular space with intricate carvings on the ceiling. At the far end of the room was a statue, about 1.7 meters tall, dressed in pure white and wearing a cloak. Its features were somewhat indistinct, with one hand raised and the other holding a dagger. At its feet was an even more indistinct figure, whose features and shape were not clearly discernible. This figure also had a dagger on its chest.

This is Alvin, the ancestor who first discovered that demons could be killed with ice blades.

To commemorate him, people sculpted his image for the world to worship.

Several footsteps grew closer, and the leader said, "Young Master Inlai, it's already night. For your safety, please go home quickly."

He was a man in his early thirties, tall with a high nose, a typical Western appearance, and a sword at his waist. Judging from his position, Lu Cen knew that this was the captain of the guard, one of the players: "Thank you for your advice, captain of the guard."

He pointed at someone at random: "You, escort Young Master Yinlai back."

It's impossible to move around in the town of Sk after nightfall, not only because there are no lights, but also because it's unsafe at night. Theft and robbery are common, let alone wandering around outside. In order to protect the safety of the townspeople, the guards need to patrol at night as well as during the day, and this is the first patrol time.

As Lu Cen walked, he pondered. There were seven people in total for this mission, and the most obvious one was the guard captain. He considered whether to approach him, reveal his player identity, and seek cooperation. As the guard captain, his sources of information would certainly be faster than Lu Cen's, the young master. But Lu Cen was unsure for one thing: were all seven of them on the same mission?

He dared not take the risk.

The manor and castle at night are completely different from their majestic appearance during the day. They are as black as ink, and the few oil lamps on the walls can barely illuminate the path underfoot.

When they arrived in the living room, Luna had already returned and was asking the maid to bring her some snacks. Lu Cen exchanged a few words with her and then went back to his room.

A servant brought him hot water. After taking a bath, Lu Cen lay on the bed and pondered. For this mission, he not only had to find the demon to kill him, but also find the Ice Blade.

The so-called ice blade is a dagger. This dagger is nothing special with the Alvin statue. It looks like an ordinary fruit knife. The handle is engraved with a pattern. Lu Cen has seen it. It seems to be the emblem of the temple.

But how and where this dagger was obtained is unknown.

If it's not a dagger specifically needed, can an ordinary dagger kill a demon?

Lu Cen knew that this speculation was unlikely, so he needed to learn more about demons as soon as possible in order to deal with it in a timely manner.

Currently, apart from a few counts and temple guards, the only people in this town who probably have information about demons are the town mayor.

It seems he still needs to start with Ados.

The cool moonlight bathed the manor. The windows were wide open, a beam illuminating half of the bed. Suddenly, a shadowy figure slipped in through the window, layers of silver light shimmering around him, making his exposed skin appear even whiter. He slowly approached Lu Cen, murmuring, "Yin Lai..."

In the quiet night, there was a slight sound.

The rustling sound was faint and not very noticeable.

Lu Cen was not sleeping soundly, and was half-awake.
