With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

Chen Beixuan initially thought it was Pedro.

But when I turned around, I was instantly stunned!

He never expected to run into the other person again, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"It's actually you!"

"Ha, why can't it be me?"

Kalis, still looking like a hunched old man, smiled and said.

“I sensed you carrying my badge around as soon as you entered the Demon Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Beixuan became wary and secretly held the teleportation talisman in his hand.

Although in a sense he saved Kalis.

But demons are demons after all; what if they turn their backs on him and try to deal with him?

It's best to be cautious.

"What, are you going to arrest me? Or are you planning to kill me?"

He was shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to see his expression.

But just from his tone of voice, Kalis could picture him raising an eyebrow.

“I mean you no harm. This is not the place to talk. Come with me.”

Seeing that Chen Beixuan didn't move, he was both amused and exasperated.

"Your friend is with me too, so don't worry about it."

After saying that, he turned and slowly walked towards a small alley.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Beixuan...

He lifted his foot and followed...

Upon arriving at Kalis's residence, the interior of the spire-shaped building was quite spacious.

Upon entering the room, they saw Pedro with his hands and feet bound and lying on the ground.

Kalis calls this the "Quick Calming Method".

Upon seeing Chen Beixuan enter.

Pedro writhed excitedly like a maggot, making muffled noises with something stuffed in his mouth.

Chen Beixuan stepped forward to untie him, and after a brief explanation and reassurance, the three of them sat down.

Pedro exuded resentment and sat there without saying a word.

He was tied up as soon as he was released from prison.

His reputation as a master thief is ruined...

Ignore his thoughts.

Chen Beixuan sat in the chair, his sharp gaze fixed on Kalis.

"Speak, I'm all ears."

Kalis shook his head and smiled wryly.

"How about... I tell you another story?"

"I think it's better to speak your mind directly."

Chen Beixuan interrupted him, secretly using his reconnaissance technique.

------

Shadow Demon Kalis: Level 70 Gold Boss

Health: ? ?

attack:???

......

Danger level: Extremely lethal!!

Introduction: One of the twelve demon generals, he was sealed and tormented for a hundred years. When he came out, he found that everything had changed.

------

Is Kalis stronger than Papach?

From this perspective, the twelve demon generals of the demon race are probably comparable to the city lords of the human race.

Papachi is slightly inferior, but he is about to reach the level of a city lord.

Notice the last sentence, "Things are no longer the same, people are no longer the same."

This gave him a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

Upon hearing this, Kalis simply cut to the chase.

"If I'm not mistaken, your mission objective is to destroy the teleportation array."

"If you do me a favor, I'll distract Greg. As for the rest... that's up to you."

"What's the deal?"

Chen Beixuan squinted and asked.

Kalis looked up at him and spoke slowly.

"Help me steal my divine staff from the city's treasury."

As soon as these words came out.

This immediately caught Pedro's attention.

He didn't care about being kidnapped and his eyes lit up.

"Steal the treasure vault? Where's the treasure vault? What kind of guards are there...?"

Snapped!

"Ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Beixuan slapped him on the back of the head!

"You get all excited when it comes to stealing from me, so shut up and behave yourself."

After reprimanding Pedro, Chen Beixuan turned to look at Carlis with a suspicious gaze.

"You are a demon, yet you help us. Please give me a reasonable explanation."

"Could it be... that you intend to abandon darkness and embrace the light?"

"Uh... Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Kalis burst into laughter.

"You old man, you're really cautious!"

After laughing for a while, he pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"It's not about abandoning darkness for light; I just want to take back everything that's mine."

"I am no longer among the Twelve Demon Generals. The only way to take my place is through a challenge."

"My strength has declined due to being sealed for a hundred years, and my divine staff is still sealed in the treasure vault. It's just a pipe dream if I want to succeed in the challenge."

“My strength can grow slowly, but the artifact is in the treasury, and Greg is unwilling to return it to me.”

"I can't openly steal, otherwise I'll truly become a traitor who betrays the demon race."

"Therefore, I need you, who have both the ability and the legitimate status, to help me."

"I thought it would be many years before you came to the Demon Realm, but I was wrong..."

Kalis said this.

He couldn't help but give Chen Beixuan a deep look.

The speed at which his strength increased was truly astonishing.

After hearing his explanation, Chen Beixuan suddenly thought of a question.

"But in the end, the artifact ended up in your hands. Won't Greg suspect you?"

"And if you helped us lure him away, and the teleportation array is destroyed, wouldn't you be the prime suspect as an accomplice?"

Kalis smiled confidently at both questions.

“It’s perfectly reasonable for me to challenge him. As long as I don’t admit it, he can’t do anything to me.”

"As for the artifact, there's even less to worry about. That staff has a built-in transformation function; once you change its appearance, no one will be able to recognize it."

"So? Accept it or not?"

[Ding! Kalis has issued you an A-rank hidden quest, "Steal the Artifact." Accept?]

"accept."

Chen Beixuan no longer hesitated and clicked "accept".

This task is highly feasible.

Who says you can only take quest artifacts from the treasure vault?

As long as he's fast enough, he can make a fortune just by grabbing a few items!

Seeing that he accepted the mission, Kalis smiled.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about the defensive configuration of the vault."

Pedro, who was standing nearby, was overjoyed and immediately perked up his ears.

"The treasure vault is located inside the tower behind the city lord's mansion. The walls and floor are engraved with runes that isolate space, so it can only be entered through the main gate."

"The elite guards are level 35, and Captain Otto is level 50. Their strength should not be underestimated."

“Greg should have been guarding the city lord’s mansion, but for some reason he went to guard the teleportation array today, which makes it convenient for you to move around.”

"If you are discovered, you will only have one minute to react, so you must act quickly!"

"That's about it. I can't get involved, so you'll have to rely on yourselves."

Chen Beixuan nodded thoughtfully.

The mission conditions seem very demanding, leaving only a strong attack as an option.

But after experiencing the Dark World and the Iron Cage, he felt that the Chaos Mage was not so simple.

Perhaps by using the ability to enter the void, one can ignore the runes and directly pass through the interior.

If that doesn't work, there's still time to take action.

If we succeed, wouldn't we be able to pick and choose from a multitude of treasures?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Pedro was equally excited, determined to prove his identity as a master thief this time!

After finalizing the plan.

The two left Kalis's room and headed to the city lord's mansion.

The two demon soldiers patrolled the streets in formation and, without any major incident, saw the tower.

A demon soldier stands guard every 5 meters around the tower.

The guard captain also patrolled the area from time to time, making the defense quite tight.

With a casting range of 84 meters, he can easily obtain information about his opponent.
