Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer

"I see. You've been waiting for a long time."

Seeing how polite the other person was, Wu Ye felt embarrassed to act like a big shot. After all, you couldn't hit someone in the face when they were smiling, right? And sometimes, seeing is believing.

"To be honest, I'm ashamed to ask others for help with this family matter. If it weren't for those nobles..."

Jie Haiyin suddenly realized that he almost said something, so he quickly shut up.

Wu Ye caught on to this topic. Normally, Wu Ye was pretty good at judging people. The Jie Hain in front of him was not the type of person that was rumored before. Instead, he seemed like someone who was very approachable and easy to talk to. However, it seemed that the problem lay with those nobles!

"If you have any troubles, you might as well tell me. I might be able to help you solve it. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."

I don’t know if Jie Hain was waiting for this sentence. When he heard Wu Ye say this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but it was not easy to notice.

"Actually, this is the case. I'm sure Elder Wu knows about this. There are rumors that I'm boycotting adventurers, right?"

Jie Hain started his topic directly without any hesitation. This surprised Wu Ye. He thought he would not tell him anything, but he did not expect it would be so easy for him to start talking.

"I have indeed heard that, in order to prevent adventurers, His Highness even warned them not to enter the noble district. There was something like that, and it seemed discriminatory."

However, Wu Ye didn't really know much about it, because he himself wasn't affected at all. The most he knew was just hearsay.

"These are all true, but I didn't say them myself. It was one of my brothers who did these things in my name."

After hearing the truth, Wu Ye became even more convinced that the man in front of him had some unspeakable secret, and if he allowed him to continue talking, he might get himself into trouble.

"Hiss... How about your Highness discuss the matter of the underground palace first? It won't be too late to discuss other matters after I return."

Seeing that Wu Ye didn't want to listen any more, Jie Hain couldn't help showing a disappointed expression, and was secretly a little sad, but he quickly changed his mind.

"Since Elder Wu is so anxious, let me talk about the underground palace."

“Initially, this palace was not built by our family, but was renovated. It used to be called Fesjeli Fortress, a very old castle. Later, after our family became the ruler, it was renovated into the current royal palace and the city of Lugain was established.

A lot of Lugain's territory has been occupied by demons, so I've been thinking about how to regain it all the time. Oh, sorry for getting off topic. When I got this castle, there was already an underground palace. Later, under the transformation of successive kings, the underground palace became habitable. It was also at that time that a Fesjeri wizard came to visit the palace and said that he wanted to use the underground palace to find some things of his ancestors.

Later, the wizard disappeared into the underground palace, and we all thought he had left. And indeed, that was the case. However, when I sent people to search, I found something like an archway in the center of the deepest part of the palace. I thought it was something that had always been there, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But then the court wizard, Drognan, told me that it was a portal that required some kind of medium to open, and so far it seemed impossible to move or destroy it.

Afterwards, everything went peacefully for who knows how many years, until recently, when the patrolmen in the underground palace disappeared. I sent people to investigate, but found only bloodstains everywhere but no bodies. I later called in the mercenary leader, Graze, to help me investigate. We discovered that a portal had inexplicably opened, and a multitude of demons had emerged, though none seemed to be heading up to the palace. So, I've been strengthening the underground palace's defenses, but I can't find a better solution, so I had to seek help from the master in Rogge.

After listening to this, Wu Ye finally understood something. The so-called Fesjeri man should be Herasen in disguise, and this portal was created by him so that he could escape from this world safely. After all, in this world, he was already a rat crossing the street and everyone wanted to kill him.

Once summoning a demon is discovered, the person will be executed. Even if he escapes, he will be hunted down, and the Assassin's League will be responsible for it.

But we can only say that Herasen was very smart. He found this good hiding place and escaped successfully.

"Is that so? Thanks for clearing up the confusion. Then when can I go to the underground palace?"

Wu Ye doesn't bother with these nonsense things. If there is something to do, just do it!

"I wonder if Elder Wu would be willing to lend a hand? I will definitely reward you handsomely later!"

Hearing this, Wu Ye knew that this was a request he couldn't refuse! Who wouldn't want money?

"Ahem, tell me what it is. As long as I can do it, it should be no problem."

Seeing Jie Hain who looked a little embarrassed, Wu Ye could only promise.

Hearing Wu Ye's words, Jie Hain instantly became excited.

"Actually, I have a daughter. She..."

Just as Jie Haiyin was about to continue speaking, Wu Ye interrupted him.

"Stop, stop, stop! Why is it that only one of your daughters went there? Aren't we discussing going to the underground palace?"

This guy has no good intentions!

"Um... Elder Wu, please listen to me patiently before making a decision. Here's the thing. I'm sure you've heard about what my older brother did in my name. When my daughter was about ten years old, I sent her away from Lugain and headed to Xiansai, in the far north of the Twin Seas, to study magic. Perhaps it was out of a sense of protection. After she arrived, she passed the test smoothly and then began her studies there.

It was probably not long ago that she finally returned from Xiansai. After hearing about the underground palace incident, she seemed very eager to help me resolve it. However, I couldn't let her go alone, so I wondered if Elder Wu could take my daughter with him if he wanted to go.

After saying these words, Jie Haiyin felt relieved, as if he understood something.

Originally, Wu Ye was going to refuse, but when he heard that his daughter had just returned from studying in Xiansai, he changed his mind.

You know, Xiansai is a place that all mages yearn for! This guy's daughter actually passed the trial at the age of ten, which shows how strong her talent is!
