Episode 15: Heavy Treasure Chapter 15: Olivia’s Message
After spending eighteen days, Linley had finally completely finalized the sword move he had been deducing and thinking about for a long time. This move, Misty Shadow, was now Linley’s strongest material attack. After creating the move Misty Shadow, Linley was at ease with Delia, Bebe, and the others.
When the metal beings had waited outside Yilan City for a month, the white-horned old man finally went to greet the hired demons, and soon, there were over a hundred of them walking over with this white-horned old man.
“There really are demons here too.”
Some of the newly hired demons couldn’t help but smile and open their mouths when they saw Linley and the rest of the group.
“But there’s so few of them, adding up to less than twenty.”
“I guess this mission is really as dangerous as said.”
“Dangerous? If they die during the mission, they can only be counted as useless!”
Listening to those murmurs, the three Edwards brothers, Rilmons, and other demons who were originally waiting here laughed coldly in their hearts—“Fewer people? And how do you guys know that when we set out, there were more than a hundred demons as well!”
“Useless? Let’s see how many of you people can survive.”
Linley and some others seemed to see these demons suffer and die as well.
That white-horned old man smiled and said, “You’ve all waited long enough, now all go inside, we’re ready to go.”
A bustling group of people all poured inside the metal life, with Linley, Delia, Bebe, Ness, and Salomon a few people in parallel. Hired this many?”
Bebe muttered, “A hundred and ten demons, a hundred of them are all Mediate God demons, the other ten are only Upper God demons, what’s the point of hiring so many Mediate God demons, to be cannon fodder?”
Linley heard Bebe say this. In the back of his mind, he said, “Cannon fodder? I’m afraid there are more demons so as to hide that Salomon’s identity.”
Linley suddenly recalled the words Salomon had spoken to himself earlier.
That time. Salomon had pretended to be mysterious, saying that this escort mission was dangerous, and that the place where this escort mission started wasn’t Emperor Wing City. Saying how dangerous this mission was. Letting Linley save his life first if he encountered danger. At first, Linley was still somewhat grateful to Salomon.
Later, Linley realized that ……
The actual protagonist of this escort mission was this Salomon!
“I’m afraid, that rumor was deliberately spread by him.”
Linley said in his heart. “When danger comes. Let the demons scatter and flee, and I’m afraid he’ll take the opportunity to flee as well. By the time there are many people fleeing, and he’s mixed in amongst them, the others will only be concerned with dealing with the old man with the white horns, who would think to deal with him.”
Linley had to admit that this Salomon was indeed thoughtful.
Demons inviting more was just confusing.
“It’s better to be careful with this kind of person. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t even know it if I’m used by him.”
Linley couldn’t help but be wary of this Salomon. Staying for about a month. Once again, he set off once more. Nowadays, this metal life volume had become the same size as when he had left Emperor Wing City. The entire metal life also appeared to be bustling with activity.
Inside the metal life, Linley and Delia’s two-person house.
Delia was frowning and thinking about something, then she looked up at Linley and spoke, “Linley, I have something I want to talk to you about. Linley,” “En. What is it?”
Linley turned his head to look at Delia. Looking at Delia’s expression, it seemed like there was something very important going on.
Delia frowned, “Linley. We originally wanted to take on a quest in the first place, so that we could catch up in the meantime. But this one mission always felt too dangerous to me. Don’t you know what we’re escorting? That’s an ancient family in hell, a huge fortune that has been accumulated for countless years! We’ve already been attacked twice in a row. I’m worried that there’s a third time, and I’m afraid that, this third time will be even more dangerous than the first two… Although we do need some challenges in Hell, it doesn’t need to be so dangerous that we could lose our lives at any moment.”
Linley nodded.
On this trip, the first time was just bandits and robbers, and that could only be considered a test run. And the second time, the ancient desert fortress land was indeed full of crises, so assuming there was a third time, how dangerous would that third time be?
Linley reached out and embraced Delia in his arms, saying softly, “Delia, I know. However, we’ve already taken on this one mission, are we actively retreating now? Look at the other surviving demons, did any of them retreat?”
If it was a time of war, and one took the opportunity to leave, one would still have an excuse at that time, saying that one had panicked and ran apart.
However, actively retreating.
Once this was recorded in the Demon Castle’s mission records and was spread out, the ground that was lost was face! In hell, bravery is honor and cowardice is shame! Not to mention that hell was already dangerous, and everyone already had a mental tolerance for danger.
“That’s not what I meant.”
Delia even said, “I’m aware that we can’t back down now, or else it will be spread to the Pale Blue Mansion, and be known by your earthly forefathers. We indeed cannot afford to lose that face. I’m just saying, when we arrive at the Blue Maple City of the Hongyang Prefecture, when we pick up another quest, we have to choose well. Pick an easier one.”
“I know.”
Linley nodded his head and advised, “Don’t worry, we’re halfway through this trip, so bear with it a little longer.”
“Delia, she doesn’t like it to be too dangerous.”
Linley said silently in his heart, in reality, hovering on the edge of life and death, fighting for his life on the edge of a sword, this kind of dangerous thing Linley yet felt his blood boiling. He wasn’t afraid of this at all.
Instead, it made Linley feel, as in his teenage years, a sense of crisis in the Demonic Beast Mountains.
It was an exhilarating feeling.
“Squeak!”
Closing the door to his room, Linley headed towards the hall.
Because there were so many demons, the hall of metal beings also seemed a little more lively, and at the moment, there were seven or eight people there drinking and laughing, and among them, there were also two that Linley recognized. It had also been several months since he had set off from Yilan City, so naturally, Linley had recognized some of the demons.
“Hey, Linley!”
A demon greeted Linley from afar.
Linley greeted them with a smile as well, and then he sat alone at a round table, casually ordering two dishes and a bottle of wine, and promptly drank the wine alone.
At this time, a man who was a full two meters tall. A burly man with short blonde hair walked over in some surprise, looking curiously at Linley. In a low voice, he said, “You, are Linley?”
Linley looked up at him suspiciously, “Yes, I’m Linley.”
“Are you Linley Baruch?”
The short blonde-haired man abruptly inquired.
Linley was taken aback. Surprisingly, someone had said his full name, “And you are?”
Seeing Linley’s expression the short blonde-haired burly man smiled and sat down next to Linley, “Linley, don’t be nervous, I’ve only heard about some of your affairs in the past.”
“Heard about me?”
Linley was puzzled.
He didn’t have much of a statement in hell, how could a stranger recognize him.
“I’ll introduce myself first. My name is Batchelor. As for why I know your name …… Olivia. You recognize it.”
The burly man laughed.
Linley was surprised, “Batchelor, you know Olivia?”
After being in hell for so long, suddenly hearing the name Olivia, a special feeling welled up in Linley’s heart. After all, that was a hometown person from the same Yulan continent realm.
“Of course I recognize him.”
Batchelor held his wine glass and laughed, “Olivia and I are also somewhat destined to be together, we came to the Helllands in the same batch before being randomly left behind by the Purple Thorn Army. We then temporarily resided in a tribe.”
Linley nodded secretly, this was similar to himself.
“At that time, I was already a Mediate God, and this Olivia was only a Lower God, but he cultivated quickly, in about fifty years. He reached the Mediate God realm in the Laws of Light.”
Batchelor lamented. “And then we came to Yilan City together and participated in the Demon Examination together. Together we all managed to become one-star demons!”
A small smile also appeared on Linley’s face.
It seemed that this Batchelor and Olivia did have an extraordinary relationship.
“What about Olivia?”
Linley asked.
Batchelor shook his head helplessly, “After we became one-star demons, we went to take on a two-star mission. However, that mission encountered danger halfway through, and when we were caught off guard, we scattered and fled, and I fled back to Yilan City with some of my friends. As for Olivia, I never saw him again.”
Linley frowned.
“Perhaps Olivia, he’s still alive, who knows?”
Batchelor tilted his head back and drank from his glass, putting it down with a sigh, “This demon taking on a mission is supposed to be full of crises. It can’t be helped if you die.”
Linley nodded slightly.
In hell, death had been seen too often, and his heart was prepared for it.
“When Olivia and I were in the tribe, he talked to me about you, you made a deep impression on him.”
Batchelor exclaimed, “Back when I praised him for his quickness in reaching the Median God, he said that he guessed you had reached it as well, and now it seems that it’s true!”
Linley sighed.
When he was on the Yulan Continent, himself and Olivia had once been put together in a discussion and evaluation as the Yulan Continent’s greatest geniuses in ten thousand years. However, himself and Olivia, when placed in the boundless hell, were that inconspicuous.
“Hopefully, Olivia he’s still alive.”
Linley silently blessed this fellow friend.
“It’s fate that I can continuously encounter two geniuses from the same material plane, come on, cheers.”
That Batchelor laughed.
Linley also had a good impression of this Batchelor, and raised his glass with a smile as well.
Linley and Batchelor then drank and talked casually, Linley talking about the battle at Moon Lake Castle, and Batchelor also talking about his own examination mission. However, neither Linley nor Batchelor paid attention to the fact that at this moment, this metal being had already flown into an area of volcanic clusters.
“According to the map, there should be a very ordinary mountain range down here, so it’s turned into a volcano cluster?”
The two demons beside the window discussed with each other.
Indeed, this volcano cluster had moved over just a short while ago!
While Linley and Batchelor were still excitedly talking about giggling, Olivia suddenly appeared behind the enemy, stabbing him directly through the back of his head, killing him with a single sword, and only then was I able to save this little life ah.”
Batchelor said excitedly.
But just at this moment —- “Hoo!”
“Hoo!”
“Hoo!”
Densely countless voices cut through the sky, at the same time, the entire metal life also exploded with a puff, only to see countless fire-red boulders bombarded to all the demons within the metal life, a time of chaotic and unbearable extreme.
“Peng!”
A demon not far away from the same hall where he was drinking was directly smashed on his body by a fire-red boulder, his body was smashed into mud, his bones shattered and splattered, and his godhood also fell from mid-air.
A fire-red boulder smashed over at Linley, who immediately dodged, but the fire-red boulder turned abruptly.
“Peng!”
It ruthlessly smashed into Linley’s body.
Linley’s body shook tremendously, and the pulsating armor on his body surface trembled slightly. “Fortunately, this pulsating armor defense is powerful enough!”
Linley was secretly grateful in his heart, “Not good, Delia.”
Linley presumptuously flew in the direction of where Delia was.
However, the surroundings were filled with tons of fire-red boulders.
Linley realized that Batchelor was also facing a fire-red boulder, and that Batchelor roared as he slashed out the huge sword in his hand, and a wave of violent and powerful energy collided with the fire-red boulder, and the fire-red boulder was split in half. However, the two halves were still attacking Batchelor.
Batchelor’s face changed greatly.
“Hoo psychedelic fuzzy purple sword shadow steeply appeared, fast as lightning, but there is a kind of slow purple sword shadow swept to, sword shadow over, space are all trembling. The purple sword shadow swept through the two boulders, and immediately the two boulders were shaken and cracked, turning into a large number of broken stones.
That Batchelor let out a sigh of relief and glanced at Linley with a hint of gratitude in his gaze.
“Careful!”
Linley’s face changed drastically.
“Boom!”
A nearby fire-red stone that had originally attacked someone else turned abruptly, directly smashing into Batchelor’s head. “Boom!”
Batchelor’s head directly exploded open, and a godhead fell from midair.
