Chapter 187 Roy’s Ambition

After Julia used her fallen angelic sword to open the spatial gate of the Black Stone once again, Roy and Julia returned to the main world.

Due to the different flow rates of time, despite Roy and Julia having stayed in the Black Stone for several hours, only an hour had passed in the main world.

They flew out of the volcanic crater and into the air. When they returned, Julia said to Roy, “What should we do regarding the mission Mother Lilith gave us…?”

Lilith had asked Roy to go to the Charred Council to find the so-called Red Sea Egg, but in fact, she had said this to Roy and Julia and handed them the mission. Although Roy and Julia did not show anything unusual, Lilith, as a succubus, could easily smell the mixed smell on them, so of course, she understood their relationship.

Hearing Julia’s question, Roy smiled helplessly. After becoming high-rank demons, although it was a good thing for their strength to increase, it seemed that these demon lord and demon king big shots were beginning to like assigning missions to high-rank demons.

Of course, from another perspective, this was also proof that Roy’s strength had entered the eyes of the big shots. In the human world, this was the appreciation of his boss. But the problem was that the big shots did not seem to like to consider whether Roy had the ability to complete these missions when they assigned them.

The Lord of the Hollows was like this before, and so was Lilith now. They seemed to be measuring the difficulty of the missions based on their own strength. But as a result, when it came to Roy, these missions were clearly beyond the scope of his abilities.

For example, it was like the knowledge that some teachers thought was very simple, but when they taught students and found that the students could not learn it no matter what, they would scold the students. Why are you so stupid? Don’t you know how to solve such a simple question?

Now, Roy was facing this kind of trouble. The Lord of the Hollows wanted him to deal with Demon Lord Abraxis, and now, Lilith wanted Roy to go to the Charred Council to steal some Red Sea Egg. These things were very difficult to accomplish, okay?

Roy could still fool the Lord of the Hollows, this former demon member of the council, but Lilith was troublesome.

When Julia recounted the situation of Samael being sealed, Lilith’s expression did not change, and she did not look surprised. This meant that Roy’s guess was right. Lilith was probably one of the masterminds, and she and Samael were plotting a big game of chess together. In the beginning, it might have been the Horsemen of the Apocalypse who had entered the game and became pawns. But after Lilith gave Roy the mission, it meant that he had become one of the pawns on the board.

However, this time was different from when he was in the Heroes of Might and Magic world. Without the restraint of the demon contract, Roy was not enslaved by Lilith, and it did not matter if she used him as a pawn. After all, Lilith would reward him. This could be considered a transaction. The key was how Roy should plan to profit in this process.

Roy could not guess what Lilith wanted to use him for, and it was also possible that Lilith had only given him this mission casually. It was naturally better for Roy to complete it, but even if he failed, it did not matter to Lilith. But there was no doubt that she would divert a portion of her attention to his actions. Roy could only think of ways to do this to the best of his abilities, and at least he should not delay too long.

After thinking about it, Roy said to Julia, “When Lilith first started, she was always talking about the Charred Council. She even told us that the Charred Council is likely to be corrupted by the Corruption of this world, like the ancient gods corrupted by Void power. Logically speaking, saying this to two high-rank demons is of little use. Even if it was really corrupted, it’s not something we can stop. So, what’s her purpose for saying this?”

“Umm…” Julia pondered for a while and said, “I think she may be trying to spread this matter through us and let others know?”
