The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Indeed, being a Divine, I am still too kind!

"Shut up, you're noisy, don't interrupt my thoughts." Listening to Youyou's endless chatter, Luo Yan couldn't help but snap.

Realizing he had annoyed Lord Demon King, Youyou stuck out his hypothetical tongue and quieted down.

Watching the team assembled outside the forest depart, Luo Yan waved his magic wand and lifted the magic.

At the same time, the owl perched on a treetop also turned into a tuft of feathers with a "bang," gently floating down to the snowy ground beneath the tree.

That was a familiar he summoned using magic power and a casting medium, primarily for sending messages and scouting. Although it would be discovered if too close, no one would notice it from such a distance.

After completing these tasks, he mounted his horse and turned back into the depths of the woods, arriving at the entrance of a cave.

Two Hell Dwarves were stationed there with dozens of goblins, gripping their weapons and standing ready.

Luo Yan didn't greet them; he first cast a sleep curse to knock out the two Hell Dwarves, then threw several Flame Bombs at the group of goblins chattering "gobble-gobble."

They weren't professional warriors, not even members of the Great Graveyard, just hired laborers sent by Hell Dwarf overseers to help build the railroad. What chance did they stand against Mr. Colin?

Seeing the Dwarf overseers fall asleep on the ground, the goblins hit with relentless explosions immediately dropped their weapons and fled.

In fact, these Hell Dwarf slaves had wanted to run for a long time, ever since arriving at the surface from underground.

Some of these creatures would flee into the mountains, others to the plains, and soon be caught by villagers there using pitchforks and firearms.

By then, they would naturally relay the story, covering up this tale for him.

Luo Yan quietly waited for every single goblin to run away before raising his magic wand and casting the Lighting Technique, entering the cave guarded by heavy troops like an adventurer.

Perhaps noticing the light in the darkness, a weak voice cried for help from deep within the cave.

"Princess Erin... is it you? I am Victor Gess, a Baron loyal to the Campbell family for generations, Saint Sis above... please send the lord to my side, just don't send another demon."

Floating beside Luo Yan, Youyou couldn't hold back his laughter.

Though no one else could hear its laughter, Luo Yan still warned it with a glance.

After all, humor can be contagious.

Luo Yan cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and called out.

"Mr. Gess, is that you?"

The dark cave was silent for a moment, quiet enough to hear dripping water.

After a while, a trembling voice came from the darkness, carrying a hint of joy.

"Mr. Colin... is that you? Saint Sis above... glory to your grace! You truly witnessed the piety of the Gess family!"

Though it's not Princess Erin, Mr. Colin is also good, perhaps even better!

His greatest regret was not having talked more with Mr. Colin at the banquet that night.

That esteemed gentleman seemed to always evade him.

Luo Yan steadied himself, ignoring the man's rambling, raised his voice, and moved forward.

"It's me! I've already dealt with the demons outside! Saint Sis above... I'm glad I came here to take a look! Are you alright? Are you alone, or are there others? Are you sure they are demons or humans?"

Confirming the presence of the visitor, Gess finally let his voice be heard, overwhelming joy evident.

"We are all here! I'm with my subordinates! They must be held in other caves, but I'm sure they're nearby! Damn, those demons must have sold us to the Hell Dwarves in the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range! Those vile slave drivers love extorting ransom from us, thank heaven you've come!"

Luo Yan was taken aback by what he heard.

So, there was such an explanation?

Apparently, after seeing the goblin leader, Baron Gess intuitively filled out the entire story with his imagination.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan secretly felt a hint of regret; if only he had found a Hell Dwarf to be the middleman.

"This must be fate!"

Holding his magic wand, Luo Yan stepped into the cave, his face showing relief, as he untied the ropes binding Baron Gess.

"Earlier, we were fighting the Demon King's army... I initially went to aid Princess Erin but got ambushed by Little Demons on the way; the blow to my horse's head left me unable to find my way back! I thought I was done for, luckily I saw goblin droppings en route, followed the footprints all the way here! Do you know how to get out of this forest?"

"Indeed, this must be fate... please do not worry, many of my subordinates are experienced hunters, with their help, we are sure to find a way out!"

Free again, Baron Gess was so excited he nearly cried, exercising his sore wrists, lamenting the neglect of the Extraordinary Power passed down from his ancestors.

He resolved to have his son diligently learn swordsmanship when he returned home, making sure he wouldn't fall into decadence, unable even to defeat a Little Demon, like himself.

No...

Swordsmanship wasn't enough; perhaps learning magic would be better!
