Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 17: Volame's Letter

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Damon finally came back to his senses, and a strange expression appeared on his resolute face.

Before coming, he heard many rumors about this lord from the people in the territory.

There are many evaluations such as mysterious, majestic, powerful, etc., but he never thought that the evaluation that best fits the other party's character is actually the one that Volame mentioned casually many years ago... Well, casual!
No matter what Damon thought in his heart, on the surface he still maintained the respect that a subject should have.

"My Lord, it is Damon!"

"That's no problem!"

Lin Yu smiled and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the surrounding scene changed rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them moved from the magnificent hall to the study inside the stone fortress.

The space here is extremely large, and the walls are surrounded by bookshelves that are five meters high. The bookshelves are filled with various bamboo magic scrolls, as well as new paper magic books invented by the Ridge Peak Leader in recent years, which are gradually replacing scrolls.

Lin Yu sat down at the desk, looking at Damon who was still calm in front of him and said with a smile:
"Let's sit down and chat. I'm very interested in your journey!"

Hearing this, Damon realized that there was a high-backed mahogany chair behind him.

He hesitated for a moment and chose not to sit down. Instead, he took out a scroll of letters from his pocket and said respectfully, "My Lord, this is the letter that Lord Volame asked me to bring to you. I believe Lord Volame has already written a detailed account of our journey..."

It’s actually paper!

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

It was only two years ago that he secretly guided the old village chief to invent paper.

It is not yet popular in the areas surrounding the Ridge Peak Territory. How did Volame get it in the northern plateau?
As Lin Yu thought about this, he gently hooked his finger.

In an instant, the magic power in the air rippled, pulling the scroll into his hands.

The moment the scroll fell into his hands, Lin Yu's face darkened visibly.

No wonder she could write letters on paper, this thing was basically torn out from the holy book!

You know what, this really seems like something Volame would do...

While Lin Yu was complaining in his heart, he casually asked, "Where are the Volame people?"

Daemon said respectfully, "Your Excellency, after crossing the northern plateau, Lady Volame left first. I heard that she plans to take her new apprentice to meet her teacher and will come to visit you again after some time."

...A new apprentice?

Has the destined protagonist of this world, the elven magician Fulilian finally appeared?!
Lin Yu pondered in his heart, then nodded and said: "Let's go see Celia first, that's fine."

As he spoke, he unfolded the letter in his hand and read its contents carefully.

"To my friend Lin Yu: I haven't seen you for ten years. I wonder if you and Longlongyan are doing well."

"Since leaving your territory, Damon and I have been heading north, passing through..."

Lin Yu carefully read the letter from his friend which was received ten years ago.

The content at the beginning of the letter was very simple. It basically said that Volame and Daemon traveled north together, defeating monsters and exploring mazes along the way, and met the other two people in the team in a city in the north.

Both of them were orphans of the Northern War, one was a down-and-out noble knight, the other a young female monk.

Unlike the avant-garde Damon who was born with a perverted physique, this noble knight is best at swordsmanship. In terms of positioning, he is more like Xinmeier in the brave team a thousand years later, and is the physical output of the team.

As for the other female monk who can use the holy book to dispel curses, there is no need to say much, she is definitely a supporting lady.

From then on, the vanguard, support, magic output, and physical output have all been gathered, and Volame's four-person team is officially assembled.

They set out from the frontier city in the north of the Unified Empire, headed northward, passed through the territory of the demons, defeated countless demon armies, and finally arrived at the northernmost part of the continent with great difficulty.

There, they finally met the Demon King.

In Volame's own words, the moment she laid eyes on the Demon King, she knew he was not an enemy she could defeat head-on. Even so, they engaged in a battle with the Demon King and his army.

It was a battle that Volame called a disastrous defeat.

Even someone as proud as Volame had to admit that if it weren't for the holy book that Lin Yu gave her, all four of them would probably have died in that battle.

In short, after an indescribable battle, Volame was forced to take out the Holy Codex and unleashed several devastating attacks in succession, reducing the entire Demon King's Castle to ruins. Only then did he and his three companions barely escape.

Lin Yu didn't know whether Volame in the original novel had ever fought against the Demon King.

If her teammates had indeed died at the hands of the Demon King, then his sacred text undoubtedly saved all three.

If Volame did not fight the Demon King head-on in the original novel, then this time, it is very likely that Lin Yu's holy book gave her the confidence that was not in the original novel.

Whatever the truth is, his codex has changed the fate of Team Volame.

Lin Yu continued to read downwards, and the following part of the content was about Volame's change of mentality.

Volame admitted that she was definitely no match for the Demon King now.

If she intended to fulfill her ideals and promote the development of magic in human society during her lifetime, then she would never be able to grow enough to defeat the Demon King until her death.

So, the final decision is to strengthen yourself and gamble on the possibility of defeating the devil in the future.

Or should I stick to my original intention and spend the rest of my life fulfilling my original ideal?

This is the difficult choice that Volame has faced since leaving the Demon King's Castle.

She pondered this question along the way, and gradually shifted her style without even realizing it.

Before her battle with the Demon King, she was an extremely proud and talented young genius, but after her crushing defeat, she began to consider ways to fight other than direct combat.

In this letter, Volame emphasized the inseparable relationship between demons and magic power.

Just like the mindless monsters, the demons are also divided into different levels by magic power.

Magic is a symbol of dignity and status for them. They cannot give up everything that magic brings, so they cannot hide their magic forever.

But humans do not have this limitation, which allows Volame to see a glimmer of possibility for strategic victory.

She began to hide the fluctuations of her magical power and maintained this suppressed state during training, combat, and daily life.

It turned out that her strategy was quite successful. After getting used to suppressing her magic power, she successfully ambushed many powerful demons, causing them to reveal fatal flaws due to underestimating the enemy.

This was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Volame, who had been quite depressed since going south.

Unfortunately, the battle between them and the Demon King was too noisy.

Before long, the name of Volame and her group spread, and many powerful demons became wary of her. This method of relying on suppressing magic power to harm people was no longer very effective.

When writing this, Volame laughed at herself and said that in Lin Yu's words, her account had become useless.

Therefore, she wanted to find a peerless genius and train him to be a weapon against the Demon King, so that he would get used to suppressing his magic power from a young age and maintain it throughout his life until the day when the Demon King was defeated.

Unfortunately, human magicians are very disapproving of this method.

They think this behavior is extremely despicable and disdainful of it.

Of course, this is just their one-sided statement.

Volame felt that they were simply unwilling to give up the status and wealth brought by magic, and did not want to be like her, pretending to be a pig forever, just to eat the tiger in a battle!

She did not get discouraged, but kept looking for the right person.

Until not long after, in an elf village in the north that was slaughtered by the demons, she met the destined elf girl...
