The answer lay in the east, in the ancient city of Stonestone.
Eliyar understood what Eibron was trying to say. He was already speeding towards the east.
The Demon King stood in the city, looking up at the airship disappearing into the horizon. Eibron was rubbing the talisman, feeling a little more at ease.
… …
During the banquet, the king sat nervously in his seat. His expression was tense, and his eyes darted to the opposite side of the table.
The table was filled with delicacies, but Kingsley didn't touch his chopsticks. The sound of cutlery clanking against the porcelain bowl could be heard from time to time. The person sitting in front of him was enjoying the food.
"Erm, Lord Hero, what business do you have with me?"
The king stammered. He appeared very timid, as if he was afraid of the man in front of him.
The Demon King stopped eating and raised his head to look at the fat King.
"Your Majesty, is the food not to your liking?"
"No, no! I, I like it very much. "
The king immediately picked up a piece of meat with his fork and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed twice and swallowed it.
The Demon King said expressionlessly, "As long as you like it."
Kingsley choked and hurriedly drank a glass of water. He had been paying attention to Brendel's actions, afraid that he would offend him.
"I thought you were so angry at those investigators who trespassed into our country that you couldn't eat."
The king paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and lowered his head. "Yes, indeed, I'm a little unhappy. Those bastards are too impudent."
The Demon King raised his head and looked at the king, who immediately avoided his gaze.
"So, what do you plan to do?"
"Uh … this, protest against them?"
"Well, I don't think protesting is a good idea, Your Majesty. They're trampling on your dignity."
"Those bastards! I! I! I'll express my anger. "
"Very well, I'm curious how you'll express it."
The Demon King looked at Kingsley with great interest. The king wanted to cry, but he couldn't. "Well, I'd like to hear the Lord Hero's opinion, as a reference."
"My opinion? I think the most direct method is … "
Hearing this, Kingsley's eyes widened as if he was shocked. "This! I can't do that! This will anger them. No, no, we will all die. "
He hurriedly said.
The Demon King didn't say anything. He just looked at him quietly.
Kingsley gasped, his eyes wide, his eyes full of fear and rejection.
"Are we really going to do this?"
"I'm just giving you a suggestion."
What kind of suggestion was this? This was clearly a naked threat!
The king's hands were shaking, not because of anger, but because of fear.
He knew that if he didn't comply, he would quickly become a corpse. He didn't want to die, he absolutely didn't want to die. He was still young and couldn't die like this. A great man knew when to yield and when to stand tall. He believed that one day, someone would defeat Klaus.
"Alright then …"
The king lowered his head.
…
The airship flew over the mountains and arrived at the eastern border of the Kalis Empire. It was very close to the border of the Luyas Empire. Many smugglers came here through the complicated terrain.
Fourth Prince Elijah came to the ruins of Stone.
"It's really a ruin. Why hasn't this place been rebuilt?"
He stood on the airship and looked down at the ground. Soon, he found the answer.
"That is?"
Elijah narrowed his eyes. He saw a town hidden in the forest. He had never heard of a village next to the ancient city of Stone.
The terrain here was very strange. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and there were only three intersecting roads. Stone was at the intersection point. One road led to the Kalis Empire, another to the dragon boat, and the last to the Luyas Empire.
The other side was further east. It was the border. It used to be the territory of the Demon King of the Underworld, but he didn't know what the situation was like now. Because there weren't many resources there, the dragon boat and the Luyas Empire weren't interested in investigating this place.
But now, it seemed that there were some changes.
A town in the forest, and many carriages heading to this town.
What was going on?
Elijah decided to go to the town to investigate. He let the airship approach the ground. The terrain here couldn't land, so he could only fly down. He walked on the deck with a sword at his waist. A magic array suddenly appeared on the soles of his shoes. Then, a flying dragon made of magic appeared under him and carried him to the ground.
Behind him, there were also soldiers riding on staffs. They flew in the direction of the town, but they didn't land on the town. Instead, they landed in the forest.
"Remember, we can't expose ourselves. We have to disguise ourselves as ordinary people or merchants to investigate."
Prince Elijah ordered.
Thus, they took off the Luyas uniform and walked towards the town.
Soon, with the sound of rolling wheels, they saw the town up close.
This town was still under construction. Many houses were being built. Even in winter, there were workers climbing on the shelves to work.
There were many merchants here. According to Elijah's observation, they were transporting different goods from all over the world. Among them were all kinds of clothes, daily necessities, tools, and the like. Of course, there were also some that couldn't be seen. Many carriages were tightly covered, and from time to time, there were sounds coming from inside.
The sound of breathing.
At that moment, Elijah stretched out his hand and stopped a merchant.
The merchant was wearing an animal skin coat and a hat that looked like a bamboo hat. In his carriage, there were cages, and the cries of animals came from inside. They looked like chickens and ducks.
"Hey! What's the matter? "
"Hello, may I ask where this place is? We were going to the ancient city of Stone, but we found that it was already in ruins. "
Elijah asked.
The man scanned the prince from head to toe, then glanced at the people beside him. He revealed a wary expression, then said, "You guys are too uninformed. The ancient city of Stone was long gone. I don't know what kind of town this is. I only know that the people who lived here for a long time called it Little Stone."
The merchant replied.
"Little Stone?"
Elijah was confused. He seemed to have heard of it. Of course, if Stone wasn't rebuilt, then there must be another town nearby to replace it.
"You didn't bring anything. What are you doing here?"
The merchant asked.
"Someone we know is doing business in Stone. We came to find him to make a living," Elijah replied.
Eliard answered, as calmly as if it were the same thing.
Hearing this, the merchant frowned and said, "Then you'd better be mentally prepared. Many people died in that disaster in Stone, but you can try your luck here. Most of the people who survived are here. I wish you good luck."
"Thank you."
With that, the merchant lifted his hat to the crowd, and then drove the carriage away.
