Yang Yu deduced from A Tai's reaction that A Tai was not squatting here to interview him, but as he said, this was just a chance encounter.
"Then let me first ask you why you are here. Do you want to interview some important figures, or does the Library of All Things assign you a task?"
Pointing at the scorching sun in the sky, and then at the cold drink shop not far away, Atai said, "Let's talk about it somewhere else. Your questions and my interview will not be over in a short time."
"Can."
They walked into the cold drink shop happily, Yang Yu bought A Tai a cup of iced coffee, and the two of them sat in the corner of the cold drink shop. The others sat near them and ordered cold drinks.
A Tai snapped his fingers, and an invisible soundproof barrier spread out from A Tai's body, covering him and Yang Yu.
After taking a sip of iced coffee, A-Tai played with the pen in his hand and said:
"Let's continue with the previous topic.
It doesn’t hurt to tell you why I am here. After all, that day is coming soon.
We detected extremely obvious magical fluctuations in a certain area of the sea.
As we all know, a long time ago, the ancient hero Laux sank the Demon King's Castle into the sea.
Various evidences indicate that the Demon King's Castle is an important tool connecting the demon world and this world.
In the more distant past, countless people tried to prevent the gate to the demon world from opening, but they all ended in failure.
Only Laux.
Now we can't say that Laux succeeded. He seems to have only destroyed the outer shell of the Demon King's City, but not the real core of the Demon King's City. The door connecting the two worlds can still be opened.
Hence, there was a prophecy about the coming of the devil.
According to previous experience, once the magic that connects the two worlds is activated, there is no way to stop it.
It was because I captured the magical fluctuations similar to those recorded in the books that the people above wanted me to go out to sea and monitor that area.
If anything happens, they can be notified immediately.
After all, we cannot determine the exact time when the demon king will descend, so it is necessary to do this."
"We don't just use surveillance magic, because the magic fluctuations caused by the arrival of the Demon King will affect the surveillance magic?" Yang Yu asked.
Artest smiled and said, "That's right. You know a lot."
So, someone must be sent.
Not only me, but also various countries sent representatives after detecting that special magical fluctuation.
Because time was tight, they directly sent most of the magicians who were training in the Library of All Things to form a reconnaissance team. They purchased several ships from the Hague of Stone Snail and recruited experienced sailors to join them.
As the elder of the Library of All Things, I am responsible for monitoring that area and the safety of other surveillance personnel."
"I see. It's a tough job. You have to be monitored all the time. You have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate on the boat. And you don't know how long you'll be staying there. I'm surprised you took on such a job."
"It's not all bad. If the Demon King comes, won't we be able to get the information about him and his subordinates right away?"
A Tai had a faint smile on his face. He knew the danger of this mission better than anyone else.
Especially after the Demon King arrives, he may be asked to continue tracking the Demon King or his subordinates.
Once exposed, it's basically a dead end.
But when the Elder Council of the Library of All Things gave him this task, Atai did not refuse.
Some things have to be done by someone.
And Artest chose to be that person, nothing more.
"Can you tell me how the countries are preparing for the upcoming invasion of the Demon King?" Yang Yu added, "I know this is a very confidential issue, and it will take some time for these issues to be recorded in the archives of the Library of All Things. If you can't tell me, just briefly mention it."
After taking another sip of iced coffee, A-Tai crossed his legs leisurely and jokingly said, “Originally, this kind of thing can’t be said casually, but it’s absolutely okay to tell the colorful-haired masked man who cares about the world.
After the succubus appeared in the Rose Empire, all countries began to worry whether their countries would be eroded by the succubus.
The first step to resisting foreign aggression is to stabilize the country, especially in such a context.
All countries have joined forces with the Goddess Cult to investigate suspicious individuals. In return, they must immediately report any traces of the Curse Cult to them, and must follow them to deal with the Curse Cult.
The draft agreement to jointly fight the enemy has been signed, and another meeting will be held at the end of the year, which should finalize it.
Before that, various countries had already started building and reinforcing fortresses under different excuses, hoping to block the Demon King's advance on important fronts or even launch a counterattack.
Of course, everything I said has not been announced to the public by various countries. No one wants to panic the people and cause unrest in the country.
After the devil actually arrives, governments will plan to take out the prepared results, unite the people, and fight the enemy together.
The Luoze Empire is responsible for connecting with the Wansheng Republic.
The Second Prince's power is rising rapidly, while the First Prince seems to be suffering from lovesickness.
Emperor Luo Hui of the Rose Empire seems to be considering abdicating recently, but he has no choice.
I found out that you have a close relationship with the Second Prince.
If he can sit on the throne, it is partly due to you.”
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. This is all the result of his own hard work." Yang Yu casually evaded the question and changed the subject.
Realizing that Yang Yu didn't want to continue this topic, A Tai didn't say anything more, but started to solve other problems for Yang Yu.
After Yang Yu finished asking his questions, the situation reversed and it was A Tai's turn to ask Yang Yu questions.
Yang Yu patiently accepted the interview and chatted with Artest Roosevelt for an entire afternoon.
After finishing all the interviews, A Tai stood up, put down his cowboy hat, and said goodbye to Yang Yu:
"Time flies. I should be leaving soon. If you can become a hero in this world, please accept my interview again."
Yang Yu nodded and still did not refuse. He also knew the risks that A Tai would face in this trip. Many ordinary farewells are farewells forever.
After a few simple greetings and wishing A'tai a safe journey, Yang Yu watched A'tai slowly leave the cold drink shop.
Before it got completely dark, Yang Yu and his friends took a good look at this huge port city, enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the port city at night, and then fell asleep peacefully in the cool sea breeze.
Time flies and it is the next day.
Yang Yu got up early, dressed up so that no one could tell who he was, and went to the place where he had agreed to meet Lang Yi.
In addition to the bustling harbor above, the Hague of Stone Snail also has an underwater city that exists like a reflection, where some marine species that have separated from their groups and are trying to make a living gather.
Some help fishing boats catch fish; some serve as escorts for merchant ships; some make handicrafts and sell them to tourists.
Morning is the busiest time in their city.
