Upon hearing the voice, the two of them turned around at the same time and saw a blonde young man in knight armor running towards them. It was obvious that they had never seen each other before. Yes, this was obviously an NPC, but they had never seen this NPC at the Hero Recruitment Plaza or at the banquet. They didn't know what he was here for.
"Wait, Lord Hero." As they were thinking, the NPC ran in front of Li Huailin and said, "Please allow me to join your crusade against the Mystic Dragon."
"Who are you?" The Jade Summoner Emperor asked directly.
"I am Wade Suramos, the vice-captain of the Royal Knights' Third Squadron," Wade replied.
Of course, the two had already seen the NPC's name. Now, they were asking about his identity. They didn't know what this NPC was doing here. Was he a storyline NPC? At this time, the Jade Summoner Emperor suddenly remembered something and said, "Suramos?"
"Who? Do you know him? "Li Huailin asked curiously.
"Can you fix your bad habit of not remembering people's names? The one you mentioned before is the strongest warrior in their country," the Jade Summoner Emperor reminded. The Summoning Jade Emperor reminded him. Seeing that Li Huailin did not seem to remember, he added, "The one who was slapped by the demonic dragon."
"Oh, I remember now. It's this guy." Li Huailin really didn't remember this guy's name. He only remembered now. "You are Suramos?"
When Wade heard this, his face turned slightly red, but he immediately replied, "You are talking about my father. Although my father was defeated by the Mystic Dragon, he stopped the Mystic Dragon for a long time and saved a lot of people in the city. He is a great knight, please …"
"Alright, alright. What are you here for?" Li Huailin interrupted him.
"I want to join the crusade against the Mystic Dragon and avenge my father," Wade said.
"Huh? Didn't I remember that your father is still alive? "Li Huailin said.
"Just now … my father … passed away due to his heavy injuries." As Waydes spoke, he clenched his fists and said, "I'm sorry. Because of this, I didn't attend the banquet and missed the opportunity to meet Sir Hero. Please forgive my rudeness, but if you want to fight the Demon Dragon, please take me with you. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will help Sir Hero defeat the Demon Dragon."
"Gua!" Frogsauce seemed very touched by Waydes' words. He even patted him on the shoulder with his wings, then looked at Li Huailin and the Jade Summoning Emperor. Yes, he knew his place. Li Huailin and the Jade Summoning Emperor were the ones in charge.
"Sigh." The Jade Emperor sighed and said to Wade, "We understand how you feel, but the current situation …"
"Wait." Li Huailin suddenly stopped the Jade Emperor from continuing. Instead, he looked Waydes up and down and said, "You … look pretty good. Turn around and let me see."
"What?" Both Waydes and the Jade Emperor stared blankly.
"No, can you not suddenly comprehend a new world?" the Jade Emperor couldn't help but say.
"Comprehend my ass," Li Huailin said. "Didn't I just say that I'm missing an important chess piece? Look, this guy really does sound like a suitable one. "
"How would I know what you want? You didn't even tell me your plan," the Jade Emperor said.
"Anyway, the plan is very simple. I'll tell you later," Li Huailin said. "This guy seems quite suitable."
"Hm?" Waydes was, of course, confused. However, hearing the conversation between the two, it seemed that he could go with them. Of course, he was very happy. "Sirs, no matter what, I will do it. Please tell me what to do, but don't let me join the team to fight against the demon dragon."
"Yes, yes …" Li Huailin nodded in satisfaction. He then patted Waydes on the shoulder and said, "Young man, I've thought about it. Right now, there is indeed a rather important task that needs someone's help to complete. However, it might be life-threatening. You just said that you're willing to pay any price, right?"
"Yes, sir. As long as I can avenge my father, I'm willing to give up my life," Waydes said without hesitation.
"That's good." Li Huailin nodded. The Jade Emperor suddenly observed a moment of silence for this insensible young man. Yes, the last time he heard Li Huailin say this, the other side was really miserable. He didn't expect that there would be someone willing this time. He was 100% going to fall into a trap.
"Good, good, good. Then you're a member of our team now," Li Huailin said with a nod.
"Really? That's great. Don't worry, Sir Hero. I'll definitely help, "Waydes said happily.
"Come, come, come. As a welcoming ceremony, I'll give you a buff. Stick your head out here," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Uh …" Waydes felt a little strange. Looking at Li Huailin's smiling face, he had a bad feeling. However, after thinking about it, he thought that there shouldn't be any problems since he was the Hero's companion. So, he stood in front of Li Huailin and said, "Sir, you said …"
Before he could finish speaking, he was directly lifted up by Li Huailin. Then, without saying anything, Li Huailin slapped him in the face. That's right, Li Huailin had activated the legendary Intelligence Lowering Strike. After fighting for nearly a minute, Wade, who had been beaten into a pig's head and had also triggered the Idiocy debuff, knelt in front of Li Huailin.
"Heal him. His face will be useful later," Li Huailin said to the Jade Emperor.
"I knew it." The Jade Emperor looked at Waydes and couldn't help but facepalm. Yes, the Jade Emperor had seen Li Huailin beat people up too many times. He was almost used to it. After all, it was just a method to beat someone into an idiot. It was probably to make it easier to control. However, even though he understood, he still didn't know what Li Huailin's plan was.
"So, what exactly are you planning?" The Jade Emperor asked Li Huailin as he healed Waydes.
"If I want to make a move, I'll still have to make a move on Penella's side." Li Huailin said. "But after the previous round, they already know how strong I am. If I choose to fight them head-on, they will be on guard. Most importantly, they should have already guessed why I didn't attack them just now."
"In other words, they know that you are worried about being eliminated, so they didn't directly kill the newly born Hero?" The Jade Emperor asked. "That's possible, but even so, they shouldn't be able to directly remove the Law of Immortality from the Hero, right?"
"Of course." Li Huailin nodded. "After all, even if we don't attack, the Hero might still die. So, the Law of Immortality must be on the Hero. What I mean is, they won't let their guard down now that they know about my worries, but they will think that this is my weakness."
"Huh?" The Jade Emperor didn't seem to understand.
"If we can't fight them head-on, of course, we have to attack their weakness. That must be what they are thinking," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said. "From their point of view, I think the current situation is that 'if a participant attacks a hero, he or she will be eliminated'. Regardless of whether this is really the case, at least that's what I think."
"Uh … Can you be more straightforward? Stop beating around the bush," the Jade Emperor could not help but say.
"To put it simply, since I don't think the participants should attack the Hero, I should think they won't attack the Hero, too. Therefore, if I do something that looks dangerous, it's in line with my logic. They won't suspect anything," Li Huailin said. "That's right.
"So, you're saying that I don't want to add the Law of Immortality to Frogsauce?" the Jade Emperor asked. "Let the Hero kill our Hero?"
"Stop joking. Who knows how it's determined? What if something happens?" Li Huailin said. "So, the Law must be added to Frogsauce. You have to be careful here. You can't be killed."
"No, then what do you mean after talking for so long?" the Jade Emperor said unhappily.
"Seriously, if I don't tell you, who do you think looks like the Brave one standing next to this guy?" Li Huailin asked the Jade Emperor as he pulled up the idiot Wade, who was still licking his fingers, and placed him next to Frogsauce.
"Uh …" The Jade Emperor looked at Wade, then at Frogsauce. Suddenly, she understood what Li Huailin meant. "Wait, you mean …"
"Sigh … This … What happened to me just now …" At this moment, Wade suddenly came back to his senses. Yes, after all, the effect of lowering his IQ only lasted for two minutes. Now that the time was up, Wade naturally returned to normal. However, he looked confused. He remembered what had happened just now, but he did not know why he had suddenly become like that. It was as if he had lost the ability to think.
"Young man …" Li Huailin pulled Wade, who did not know what was going on, and smiled brightly. "Do you want to become a Hero?"
"What?" Wade was, of course, confused. What was going on? What happened all of a sudden?
