The carriage stopped in the area surrounding the Forest of Monsters, as the road conditions thereafter were no longer suitable for carriage travel; the only option was to ride a horse or walk.
There was no longer any need to disguise it as a kingdom convoy; there was no one around.
After the carriage stopped, the four people in the carriage got dressed and got off.
"You've worked hard, knights. Now line up in order and come here to change your appearance, take off your armor, collect your resettlement allowance, and then go to other towns to start your new lives."
Chen Hao had no intention of silencing these knights. After all, their personalities had been overwritten, and they were now absolutely loyal. Although they had many bad habits and misdeeds, they were forced to work under Freya and had no choice but to live. He would spare their lives if he could.
"Yes, sir!"
The knights lined up and one by one took off their mithril armor and handed it to Chen Hao. Chen Hao naturally accepted them all with a smile. After all, mithril is a rare material that costs a lot of money to buy. Using it to make armor, apart from its high defense and lightness, does not bring out the original characteristics of mithril. Giving it to him to use for refining alchemical items is a way to make the best use of it.
After changing their appearances and leaving each of them a weapon for self-defense and a considerable sum of money to settle them down, Chen Hao dismissed the knights and sent them off to different towns.
"Alright, now, the Hero of Healing, Kayal, and the Hero of Magic, Freya, have truly vanished on their way back to the capital."
Chen Hao cut the reins of the luxurious carriage and the fantasy unicorn. The carriage was retrieved from the [Magic Ring], and the fantasy unicorn used [Improvement] to change its disguise and become an ordinary white horse.
And so, the last piece of evidence was also destroyed.
"Lord Chen Hao, are we going to meet up with Kree, who is investigating the whereabouts of the demons?"
Freya asked this question, because what she knew from Freya's memories was that Chen Hao said Kreh was investigating the traces of the demons here.
"She is indeed going to meet up with Kree, but she hasn't investigated any demons yet. I just made up a lie to Freya before, and you actually believed it?"
Chen Hao answered Freya's question with a light laugh.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Freya was a little confused. Compared to the seemingly innocent but actually cunning Freya, her personality was much simpler, and she couldn't understand the tricks involved yet.
"Lord Chen Hao, is the Kreher you're talking about... the Kingdom's Sword Saint Kreher?"
Tsukuyomi asked hesitantly, while Setsuna also cast a curious glance at her.
"It's her. Now she's one of my women, just like you, but she started much earlier than you, and she was also my first love..."
As Chen Hao spoke, he led his horse deeper into the Monster Forest, with the three women following closely behind.
"Lord Chen Hao is indeed a womanizer. He already has the Sword Saint Kreehe, yet he still comes to provoke us."
Although Tsukuyomi teased Chen Hao, she didn't actually complain. After all, if Chen Hao hadn't provoked her and Setsuna, who knows what their fate would have been? In any case, it would have ended badly.
"Exactly, Lord Chen Hao, aren't you afraid of being killed by Sword Saint Kreehe with such a womanizing ways?"
Setsuna chimed in, saying that this was a rare opportunity to criticize Chen Hao.
"If Kreeher really intends to kill you because of us, I will definitely stop her. Don't worry, Lord Chen Hao!"
Freya patted her ample bosom, her face filled with determination and confidence.
"Hehehe...you guys..."
Chen Hao smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying:
"First of all, what I did wasn't being fickle, it was being greedy. Being fickle means having a crush on someone else, while being greedy means wanting everything. Since I've gotten involved with you all, I will definitely take full responsibility for it."
"Kreh knew this too. Although she did have some resentment at first, she didn't object in the end. It's unlikely that she'll kill me or anything like that."
"Let's keep going. I've been away for a month now. They must be very worried by now."
"Wait, them? Are there any others besides Kreeher?"
Tsukuyomi grasped the key point instantly.
"Hmm... There's also a Blackwing Clan girl named Eve Lis who's with me now, but she's just a subordinate for now."
Chen Hao now understands Eve's little trick back then, but he doesn't care. After all, the girl was shy and not mentally prepared. She'll be in his hands sooner or later anyway.
"The Blackwing Clan... there's no such race among demi-humans... are they demons?"
Tsukuyomi racked her brains but couldn't recall any demi-human race called the Blackwing Clan. In other words, it could only be the Demon Clan.
"Yes, she is a demon, and one of the candidates for Demon King."
Chen Hao answered Yueyong's question calmly.
"I've just heard... that the demons are all pretty bad. Is it really appropriate to keep her by my side, Lord Chen Hao?"
Because of the propaganda of the Kingdom of Geolar, most humans and demi-humans living within the Kingdom of Geolar have the impression that demons are an evil race, and even Setsuna thinks so.
"Although the demons may not actually be as evil as the Kingdom of Geolar claims, their relationship with humans is not harmonious at present. Lord Chen Hao, the Eve you mentioned is still a candidate for Demon King. I don't think we can completely trust her. She may be a demon spy who pretends to surrender and is secretly planted by Lord Chen Hao's side."
