Chapter 424 (2/2)
The scene really made Hao Ren feel like the talent market on Earth. But in terms of noise and chaos, this place was a bit like a wet market—anyway, it was noisy and crowded, and it was easy to get lost by walking alone.
Although Lanina had a good knowledge of the human world, this was also her first time to visit this place. Also, she needed to pay attention to hide her identity, so she walked behind Ho Ren as soon as she went in and disguised as an obedient domestic demon as soon as she went in. She just gently poked Hao Ren’s in the back with the tip of her tail and said, “First look for those who wear uniforms …”
By this time Lily had already acted. As soon as she arrived at the lively place, she was so excited and ran to a man who looked like a staff member there and asked, “Hi! We’re mercenaries! We want to work in the Demonic Plane! Where can we find the news of the demon world?”
Hao Ren hurriedly ran to Lily to prevent this silly girl actually said the name ‘No Good Names Left’ out loud… The silly name could still be accepted in the Plane of Dreams but it was useless in this place.
The man was startled by Lily and then pointed to a corner. Lily immediately dragged Hao ren and ran. Hao Ren thought while running: One really needed some skill when walking a husky, not only one had to have the mentality of walking the dog, but also have to be mentally prepared for switching role. Lily ran like a lightning bolt while dragging Hao Ren along…
Information about the Demonic Plane was posted on a wall, arranged by date. They looked at it for a while and found that the human world did pay an extraordinary close attention to the Demonic Plane. Perhaps because the war of ten years just ended, the information about the Demonic Plane was not only detailed but also exceptionally timely.
Which place had a new demon lord; which demon lord was slain; which Demonic Plane had an abnormal multiplication; which Demonic Plane teleportation portal suddenly opened… News like these was all over the wall!
“The heck… How did they find these out?” Hao Ren looked at the information in dismay. And all of a sudden he had an illusion that the entire Demonic Plane was completely exposed to the human world.
“Most of them come from warlocks, and a small part comes from scouts,” Lanina whispered. She was not surprised by this. “Warlocks can summon demons, and they can force their consciousness into a demon on the Demonic Plane. In this way, the human world will be able to grasp the trend of the demon world. But this also applies to the human world: higher-order demons often lure warlocks, and even directly place a spy into the upper echelons of the human kingdom. And how to interfere with this kind of mutual exploration of the mind is the question that will be studied by both the human world and the demon world.”
“Oh,” Hao Ren said and read through the wall of information with Y’zaks. This information might not mean much to the people there, but for Y’zaks, it was very easy for him to find out some important new below the surface.
“It looks as if Serathon has already won the second plane…” Y’zaks said while touching his chin, “the old guy of the second plane should have secretly reached a surrender agreement with Serathon, but I reckon there will still be a big war soon. This is how things work among demons. The final form of all diplomatic mediation is to defeat each other.”
“But there’s no news about that ‘last testament’,” Vivian looked at Y’zaks and said, “and it looks like the Holy See coalition forces have blocked this intelligence.”
“Of course they did. Nobody wants this kind of rumors that will turn the world upside down spreading everywhere,” Y’zaks grinned and continued, “The seven heroes used to be close like brothers, I wonder if they feel awkward when they see each other now… Haha, you never know.”
Lily twitched her mouth with a bit of regret and said, “We have a wasted trip.”
Others were disappointed too. But just then, a soldier in light armor suddenly came up and posted a new piece of information with a church seal on the wall.
Hao Ren glanced at it and knew that something bad was going to happen.
Lily read it out, “… a phantom of the Helcrown has once appeared over the Broken Plain of the second Demonic Plane. Remnants of defeated troops of the demon king’s legion are found around the Broken Plain…”
