Before putting away the soundproof barrier, Bai Jin asked Yang Yu one last question: "Yang Yu, how should we explain this to Lotkar?"

After putting the furniture in the room back in place, Yang Yu replied:

"No need to explain it specifically, he will understand."

After paying the bill, the hotel owner rubbed his hands, smiled flatteringly, and saw Yang Yu off, saying that he could come back anytime.

The man who can walk around with a few beautiful girls and those extremely expensive magical beasts must be no ordinary person.

Few people would dislike such a generous person in business.

When meeting Lotkar in the stable, Yang Yu did not call Lotkar by his full name, but just called him "Carl". Lotkar immediately understood what Yang Yu meant.

He did not ask too much about Yang Yu's plan. When Yang Yu wanted to tell him, he would naturally know it all.

Everything that Lotkar experienced in the [Hall of Courage] was enough to make him firmly believe that the young boy in front of him was unexpectedly thoughtful.

Yang Yu and the others did not immediately mount on Lotkar's back and leave the town, but took Lotkar to the nearest pharmacy.

It would be in line with Yang Yu's personality to first prepare dozens of all the medicinal materials that an ordinary pharmacy can provide.

Walking on the street, Yang Yu soon noticed that there seemed to be a dark cloud above everyone's head.

The streets that were ordinary yesterday were now dead silent. No laughter or joy could be heard, and everyone who was chatting had a serious expression on their face.

Deliberately moving a little closer to them, Yang Yu was able to vaguely hear some of their conversation.

It seems that there is something extremely unexpected published in today's newspaper.

In this world, thanks to the existence of props such as crystal balls that can enable long-distance communication, the speed of information transmission is much faster than imagined.

Although the strength of individual magic power determines the range of the crystal ball's communication, as long as multiple people build a network, it is still possible to deliver messages to all parts of the world in a short period of time.

The people of Wansheng are short of manpower and have not received unified magic education, so they are unable to build a network for rapid information transmission.

But this "problem" was "solved" a few months after Yang Yu joined Wansheng State.

Even a country like Wansheng has its own newspaper. However, it cannot publish several issues a week like the Rose Empire. Wansheng's newspapers are only used to report very important events.

If we can get the latest issue of Wansheng's newspaper, we may not be able to fully understand the context of the Wansheng coup, but at least we can understand about 70% of it.

The fact that they were able to unite so quickly and launch a foreign war at least shows that the Mindarak coup was extremely clever, to the point where it was hard to tell it was a coup.

"After such a long time, as long as the intelligence department of the Rose Empire is not idle, they should have heard some rumors."

With this idea in mind, Yang Yu took out the list of required medicinal materials and gave it to Iyas, asking her to purchase them. Then, he spent a large sum of money to buy a newspaper that a passerby was reading.

You don’t know until you see it. It’s shocking.

Yang Yu couldn't help rubbing his head. The ancient Chinese translation that he had been thinking about was published in the newspaper just like this.

After quickly browsing the contents of the newspaper, Yang Yu pinched his chin and fell into a long silence.

No matter how many times I look at it, I will never be mistaken; the handwriting of the ancient text published in the newspaper is exactly the same as the handwriting on the page in my hand, except for the words at the bottom.

Even though he couldn't understand classical Chinese, Yang Yu could understand the numbers at the bottom of the pages in his hands, but he couldn't understand the bottom of the ancient Chinese text in the newspaper at all.

There is only one explanation for this.

The pages published in the newspaper were genuine books, not fakes like the ones in Yang Yu's hand.

Although I couldn't understand the words at the bottom of the page published in the newspaper, I could be sure that it was the last page of the entire book based on the content that was only half written.

The translation on the last page reads: "In this world, humans will eventually be replaced by demihumans."

Not only did the Luoze Empire recognize this translation, but the Wansheng Kingdom. No, the Wansheng Republic also recognized this translation.

Yang Yu knew what consequences this would bring.

The two countries are pushing their respective countries into the abyss of war. What is even more terrifying is that they will each use racial justice to coerce other countries to join, and it will eventually turn into a world war.

The world was in chaos before the devil even arrived.

If it is not resolved, it is basically foreseeable that different races will stab each other in the back in the fight against the Demon King.

The situation became more complicated than expected.

Yang Yu knocked his head and fell into deep thought again. He was so absorbed in his thinking that he didn't notice Yias and Bai Jin coming out of the pharmacy with bags and standing beside him.

Yias and Bai Jin did not disturb Yang Yu's thoughts.

After a long while, Yang Yu folded the newspaper, placed it next to last year's [Adventurer's Peak], and said:

"Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry that the battle will completely turn to one side. Continue to head north as planned and collect medicinal herbs as quickly as possible."

After saying that, Yang Yu took the herbs from Bai Jin and Iyas and threw them into the warehouse. Then he immediately rode on Lothkar with his team and disappeared completely in the town.

The Rose Empire, the northernmost, bitterly cold land.

A beautiful ice palace stands on the vast ice field.

In the midst of a fierce snowstorm, a group of human adventurers finally confirmed the equipment and props they were carrying.

At a glance, this group of adventurers numbered over a hundred people, consisting of several adventure groups, most of which were A-level adventure groups, a small number of quasi-S-level adventure groups, and some B-level adventure groups that were strong and capable of being promoted to A-level adventure groups.

Such a large group came here for only one purpose, and that was the generous rewards offered by the dragon mission.

It has been almost a year since the demise of the quasi-S-class adventure group [Forget-Stone].

[Forget-Me-Not Stone] encountered strange creatures and was almost wiped out, with only one person left alive.

The adventurers could get almost no useful information from the man who survived.

He drank alone all day and became crazy. He was completely ruined.

Fortunately, after a long search, the adventurers found the monster's trace again before the winter of this year.

The monster that the dragon wanted is now in this ice palace.

As long as the monster can be successfully defeated, everyone can obtain enough wealth to last a lifetime.

They had conducted countless drills for this day, and this large, improvised adventure group was full of confidence.

The quasi-S-rank adventurer who led them, seeing that everyone was ready, shouted out the order to attack without any ambiguity:

"For our future, move forward!"
