The Hero in Exile

"Is that so..."

Phil's eyes were dull and his face looked slightly pale.

When he just learned the truth, he realized that his kind teacher was just a murderer who killed lives for eternal life, and he was just a container to prolong his life. He even collected materials in order to kill his best friend.

And the senior brother mentioned earlier just wanted to kill him and bury the secret.

"Wow Reiyu..."

Phil hugged Lingyu and sobbed in his arms. Lingyu slowly patted Phil's back. For this little girl, everything happened too fast and she needed some time to recover.

"It's okay, it's okay, Phil, none of this is your fault. You still have a chance to start over and it's all in the past."

While Phil was still being comforted over there, Moran was observing Kaden's body over here.

After being possessed by the demon Sorelli, he still retained some of the demon's characteristics even after his death.

Looking back at the previous battle, there was something suspicious everywhere.

It was once recorded that the demon Sorelli not only had superb magical skills, but also liked to torture his opponents. When he had absolute superior strength, he would deliberately prolong the battle and watch his opponent being toyed to death.

Logically speaking, a demon like him wouldn't be so brainless, but this time he actually fought with Lingyu, which he was not good at.

The most important thing is to look at yourself from time to time during the battle.

Although one is a demon and the other is a devil, the two are completely different in nature. One is a creature from hell, and the other is a person who has been enslaved after being infected by their evil spirit.

Not to mention being friendly, they are two completely opposing groups.

If Moran wanted to know the answer, he looked at the magic circle on Kaden's chest.

Finally he shook his head.

"That's one of the demon dukes, what is he thinking."

"Ah, thank you so much for bringing this decades-long farce to an end. I don't have to hide anymore."

Rory Reed came up from behind, speaking in a relaxed tone, as if nothing had happened after decades of hiding.

"Then I understand that you are using us to kill Caeden for you. You seem to be helping us, but in fact you are doing it for your own benefit?"

Seeing the hostility in Moran's eyes, Rory knew he was misunderstood. He saw panic in the old wizard and explained immediately.

"My friend Moran, you misunderstood. I was prepared to hide for the rest of my life, but after meeting you, my stargazing helped me to roughly predict the future. I foresaw that you would find Kaeden, and that's why I gave you the necklace with the teleportation sign on it."

"Then you can't interfere with the future?"

Rory smiled bitterly and pointed at his own miserable appearance.

Moran also realized that if he could interfere with the future, he would not have hidden for decades. It is also possible that his strength is not enough to interfere.

"Can you predict the future now?"

Rory shook his head and said it was impossible. In fact, he used the last stargazing on them only because he recognized that Moran's sword was a magic sword. He realized that the opponent's strength was limited and did not dare to act rashly for fear of being discovered.

I used it for human safety but I didn't expect to see these.

"Is that so? Then there is nothing we can do."

There was a trace of confusion in Moran's eyes, confusion about the future.

"Don't be discouraged, little friend Moran. I know a place that can definitely help you, including you and Lingyu's curse."

"Where is it?" Moran, who had gained hope, looked at Rory Reed excitedly.

"Don't get excited. It's in the dense jungle in the north, sitting on top of the World Tree."

"You mean those pointy ears? How could they do that?"

Although the elves, like the demons, are hostile to the world, it does not mean that they sympathize with each other. They will hide in the forest protected by the magic of the world tree and express hostility and contempt for all outsiders.

Rory Reed stroked his beard and spoke slowly.

"The elves may not know, but the Elf King on the throne is a teammate of the first generation of heroes. It is very likely that part of the curse on you came from him."

"Elf King, after such a long time he still hasn't..."

"The World Tree is still full of life, so he'll be fine."

Although I know how to solve the problem, how to enter the forest protected by magic and the attitude of the elves after I get there are another matter.

"I know what's bothering you, little guy, take it and it'll be alright."

A stone with runes on it was thrown into Moran's arms, and he could faintly feel the power of natural magic on it.

"I got this from an elf I rescued from a slave trader in the wild. After I sent him to the forest, he learned about my life story and was willing to let me live with him, but I refused. I didn't expect this thing to be useful here."

"Thank you so much, when I regain my strength and complete everything, I hope you can come to my place as a guest. You will be a friend of our demon clan."

"Haha, that's too much, but it's just fate that I happened to meet the rescue elves and then you guys."

"If there is such a thing as destiny, I will break it without hesitation."
