Chapter 907 - 859: The Demon God of the Two Dwarf Princes
Although the NPC says it is, it certainly is, but not asking why would seem too bland.
Da Fei hurriedly asked, "Miss Hilda, are you so certain she used to be a hero?"
Hilda shook her head and sighed, "If you hadn’t mentioned Guxin, I wouldn’t be able to confirm immediately. But once you mentioned Guxin, I saw more and more resemblance. Not just her, every girl present has remnants of the magic power left by the Guxin Clan’s demon in their brains."
Da Fei quickly asked again, "Does Miss Hilda have a way to restore her hero identity? Even if it’s just recovering more memories!"
Hilda shook her head solemnly and said, "Firstly, let me tell you, Gusion, ranked 11th among the 72 Demon Gods, does not have the ability to brainwash and cause amnesia, but rather to plunder knowledge and power from the brain for his own. Amnesia is merely a side effect of this knowledge plunder, which conveniently facilitates slave trade. So, to restore the plundered power, the only way is to find Guxin, defeat him, and regain the lost knowledge and power. There is no other way!"
Da Fei was shocked, "The world is so big, how can I find Guxin?"
Hilda shook her head and sighed, "That’s why this is almost impossible, so accept fate. These girls being chosen by the Guxin Clan means they were extremely talented, unfortunately. However, surviving is already their best outcome; they are already immensely grateful."
Ista came back from her shock and nodded, "Yes, Master rescuing us is already our greatest fortune, we dare not have any further desires."
Da Fei shook his head and sighed inwardly. The system has already triggered the event; them not having desires doesn’t mean I don’t have any desires, right? I’m training them to grow; surely I won’t be satisfied with them just being bar dancers? Let’s say, now is indeed not the time to solve the problem, so let’s leave it be for now.
Just then, Hilda spoke again, "By the way, there’s a Dark Elf Hero on the Captain’s ship; maybe they know each other? Catching up over a drink wouldn’t be an issue, right?"
Ista was surprised, "Is it Miss Elena?"
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped, "Yeah! Ista knows Elena. Let’s invite her for a drink!" Da Fei immediately opened the control panel to summon Elena over.
Hilda laughed, "There we go, although Ista’s brainwashing is severe, knowing an old friend is nonetheless a comforting thing."
Ista shook her head and sighed, "Miss Elena is not my old friend; she is the Empress’s firstborn, the designated throne successor, her status is exalted, no one in the country does not know her."
Just as expected! Da Fei sighed inwardly again. Remembering when they were first rescued, Elena showed extreme disdain towards these half-bloods. Da Fei suddenly regretted calling Elena over. (Friends who forgot the plot, see Chapter 581 "Underground Palace of the Abyss Lord")
Hilda laughed heartily, "So Elena’s actually a Princess? I definitely have to get to know her!"
Da Fei said in surprise, "She doesn’t have much money."
Hilda laughed, "A Princess is a Princess; having no money now doesn’t mean she’ll never have money."
Gosh! Why are you so realistic?
During the conversation, Elena appeared, "What does Lord City Lord summon me for?"
Da Fei chuckled, "To introduce you to Miss Hilda here!" Then he pointed to Ista beside him, "By the way, regarding this Ista, Elena, do you remember a hero named Ista from your country?"
"Pleasure to meet you! Glad to see Miss Hilda!" Elena first greeted Hilda at the bar, then began to carefully stare at Ista for a while, "Speaking of which, among the heroes I know, there indeed is one named Ista. I think I’ve seen her at important sacrifice ceremonies..."
Ista shuddered!
Da Fei was even more excited, "Are you sure you’ve seen her? Is it her?"
Elena stared again for a while, then shook her head, "The name is definitely known, but regarding the appearance, not sure."
Hilda sighed, "From hero to mortal, the loss of vigor certainly affects the appearance, leading to changes."
Gosh! Changes in appearance still result in beauties; imagine how stunning she must have been before the change!
Elena sighed, "Perhaps it was her. But she’s not a hero anymore, and I might not be the Imperial Princess either. The world is unpredictable."
Hilda laughed, "Nothing is absolute in the world, fate is unpredictable, come on, let’s drink, drink, the Captain’s treating!"
Da Fei laughed heartily, "No problem, no problem, I’ll treat each lady present to a bottle of wine." Hmph hmph, women don’t get drunk, men don’t get a chance, the feeling of a harem lined with long beautiful legs is too good!
Hilda asked, "Miss Elena, as a Dark Elf, it’s inconvenient for you to show yourself within Alliance territory, right? How did you join Captain’s team then?"
Elena smiled bitterly, "It’s a long story; it starts with me being imprisoned by dwarves for a hundred years..."
Dwarves!?
In that instant, Da Fei suddenly had a flash of inspiration! Didn’t Brother save the dwarf hero Hangeval in prison back then who was also beaten to level 1? But the difference is, he was extracted of his power by the extremely greedy Prince, who then used the extracted power to arm the Skyshattering Thunder, instantly boosting that fool’s level to over 50!
Then when that fool was killed by Hangeval’s ambush, Hangeval said, "Little friend, that was once my power, now it should be returned to me!" (Note: Chapter 508 "Fragments Fed to Magma Dragon"), and then the level of that fool Skyshattering Thunder was beaten back to its original form!
This bizarre extraction and return of power is very similar to what Miss Hilda said about Guxin, isn’t it? So, does this mean the Prince is colluding with Demon God Guxin? Is the Prince in the last level of the dungeon extracting the Mage’s and Elena’s mana to artificially create gods, and it’s actually creating Guxin?
Da Fei stood up in shock!
Hilda and Elena exclaimed in surprise, "What happened to Lord City Lord?"
Da Fei asked in surprise, "Elena, was the extraction of the dwarf hero Hangeval’s power done by the Guxin Clan? You were imprisoned in the dungeon for so many years, was your power extracted to nourish Guxin?"
Elena was stunned on the spot, "This..."
Hilda said in surprise, "You mean you’ve seen a hero whose Hero Power was extracted?"
Da Fei nodded repeatedly, "That’s right! We will meet him on this journey east!"
Hilda said, "Oh, I need to meet this Hangeval personally. Once I see his symptoms, I will know which demon god it is. Generally speaking, the ability to absorb hero power is rare among demon gods, it’s highly likely to be a demon from the Guxin Clan!"
Holy shit! "It’s highly likely," the plot has coincidentally reached this point, if it’s not him, it is him! So the key question is how to defeat him?
Da Fei hurriedly asked, "What do we do if we find out he’s from Guxin afterwards?"
Hilda laughed heartily, "The 72 Pillars of Demon Gods are named by pillars because they were once subdued by King Solomon, who was granted wisdom by God, then he signed the Book of Demon Contract, which is the famous Demon Summoning Scroll known as ’Solomon’s Key’. King Solomon drove these demons to serve his Israel Empire, but the price was his soul being driven by these demons after his death."
"Later, when King Solomon died, his empire began to decay, his descendants didn’t even have the strength to summon the 72 demon gods to maintain the empire. Eventually Babylon, their enemy, destroyed Israel. ’Solomon’s Key’ was torn and robbed by ignorant Babylonians, and since then, the summoning spells of ’Solomon’s Key’ spread throughout the world, with each Chapter containing a forbidden curse for summoning mages!"
Da Fei listened, utterly entranced, "Forbidden curse?"
Hilda chuckled, "Of course, King Solomon was granted wisdom directly by God, his power was extraordinary. He could naturally drive demon gods. As for ordinary mortal mages, whoever dares to summon them would be the first to become the demon’s sacrifice, probably not even qualified enough to be wedged between their teeth. This is also the reason Solomon’s descendants could not continue to control the demons."
Da Fei exclaimed, "But, I suspect both dwarf princes have summoned them, haven’t they?" No doubt, if it’s the second prince, the demon god summoned must be the one with incredible shadow skills.
Hilda nodded, "That’s truly a national tragedy. In short, if you are strong enough and find out the demon colluding with the Prince is Guxin, you can choose a battlefield supremely advantageous to you, set an ambush, then summon a demon from the Guxin Clan! At first, the demon of the already present prince will hear the summons, then you go and kill it! As for the forbidden summoning curses for the Guxin Clan, although high-level, if you search diligently, you’ll find them."
So that’s it! It seems to resolve the prince’s throne struggle, you must first eliminate their demon god!
Hilda said seriously, "But I warn you, although you’re the hottest hero recently, with your current troops, in a direct confrontation, any member of any demon god family, even the weakest, can easily annihilate you, so don’t act rashly!"
Da Fei felt a chill in his heart, indeed! Brother slaughtered dragons and exterminated gods, never did a proper frontal battle before! The most reliable method probably is to let the two demon gods fight until they’re severely wounded, then Brother goes in for the kill?
Da Fei remembered something, "By the way, the second prince’s colluding demon god possesses astonishing disguise abilities, does Miss Hilda know what demon god it is?"
Hilda smiled, "There are far too many demon gods with disguise abilities. The top-ranked Baal can do it, but it’s unlikely any mortal could summon him. Then ranked 10 is Buel who can do it, followed by the ranked 25 Labolas, the 51 Balam, and the 57 Ose. Among them, Ose can completely disguise a person into other forms, the pinnacle of disguise techniques! In short, I still need to see a sample!"
Damn it! Brother is attending an advanced demon god class from Angel Sister!
Da Fei excitedly pointed at himself and Elena, "We’ve both been samples disguised by demon gods!"
