After driving Lothkar and leaving Baihua City, Yang Yu did not immediately set out to return to the Rose Empire.
It's a rare opportunity to come to Wansheng Republic, so I'll take this opportunity to finish off some of the tasks and things that were left over.
In addition, if his words don't work and Mindarak intends to continue to provoke a war, he can also use some physical means to persuade him.
The day of the devil's arrival is getting closer.
The characteristics of the demons are still unknown, and it is unknown what their purpose is in invading this world countless times.
Preparing for the worst has always been Yang Yu's style.
The worst outcome is that the devil really wants to destroy the world.
"If you can make an ally, make another one." Based on this principle, Yang Yucai chose a relatively gentle approach.
There are some things that only Mindarak can handle.
Having completely broken off relations with Mindarak and killed him, Yang Yu had no idea how he would be able to manage the Wansheng Republic in the future.
Mingdarak is now the nominal Grand Archon. If he is killed, he can leave and leave the mess to the Wansheng Republic.
Yang Yu didn't want to come back shamelessly when he needed Wansheng Gonghe's help.
In short, there must be a good reason to kill Mindarak, and he must be executed publicly so that Wansheng Republic will feel that Mindarak deserves his crime.
However, this plan was difficult to implement.
Think about it, just collecting evidence is quite troublesome. Mindarak is so cautious, there may not be any evidence left.
The Dragon God Conference is imminent, and Yang Yu does not want to miss it because of collecting those clues.
According to the nature of dragons, once you miss it, you will not be able to obtain the dragon's racial essence no matter how hard you try, and you can only wait until next time.
So Yang Yu had to speed up.
After leaving Baihua City, Yang Yu’s first stop was the Forest of Life.
There, Yang Yu met the members of the Plant Clan Council again.
They had mixed feelings about Yang Yu's exposure of the traitor, especially after learning that Shu Mu was an accomplice. After countless discussions, they still couldn't decide what to do next.
When they met Yang Yu, they asked for his advice.
Yang Yu’s suggestion is very simple. Although the plants seem to still have choices, they actually have no other options.
In this case, don't hesitate any longer and slowly integrate with other races.
Although it will be difficult to see relatively purebred plant species after this generation, it is still better than allowing the plant species to die out in the future.
Of course, no matter what Yang Yu said, the final decision still lies in the hands of the Plant Clan Council.
Whether to take that path or not is up to the Plant Council.
After greeting the plant tribe, Yang Yu asked Lotkar if he wanted to go back and take a look. Lotkar hesitated for a while, but still refused:
“After this war is over, my people will probably return to the village temporarily to reunite with their families, and then begin preparing for the battle against the coming of the Demon King.
They should bring back my and your achievements.
Hearing about our heroic performance, my reputation should gradually improve.
In a few years, when you defeat the demon king, I will return to the village without having to carry such heavy things...
I can say hello to them properly.”
Yang Yu knew Lothcar's concerns and chose to respect Lothcar's choice.
Afterwards, Yang Yu saw a task light up on the task panel, asking Lotkar to go straight to the Elf Forest and find the Elf Queen.
As soon as the Elf Queen Elena saw Yang Yu, she knew what they were here for. She asked the guards to serve tea and water and warmly entertained Yang Yu.
Afterwards, the Elf Queen went to the treasury in person and handed the Elf's secret treasure [Goddess's Smile] to Yang Yu, saying:
"Not long ago, Mindarak suddenly contacted me, confessed everything to me, and proposed that he would do his best to find the elves that were trafficked to the human world.
To be honest, I was quite surprised to hear his confession.
When I heard you say that before, I more or less expected it to be him."
Elena sighed, then reached out and handed Yang Yu a piece of pure white stone:
"Sir Yang Yu, in recognition of your contribution, please accept this.
This is the Celestial Stone.
This was the item that the angel gave to our clan when he descended last time. It was said that it could be forged into a weapon blessed by holy light.
We elves have been isolated for a long time, and there is no one who can forge this thing.
Please shape it into the shape you want.
Of course, this is also considered as a loan to you.
After forging, remember to return it. "
Yang Yu wanted to take the Celestial Stone from the Elf Queen without hesitation, but he retracted his hand when he heard:
"You are a dishonest queen. To put it bluntly, you still want me to run errands. I worked so hard to build this thing, only to have it returned to me after only a few years of use. I won't do such a drudgery."
The Elf Queen smiled and said, "Don't you want to know how many years I can borrow it for?"
“How many years can I borrow it for?”
“The answer is that there is no time limit, provided that the item remains in your or your partner’s hands.
As long as you claim that you are borrowing it, and never claim that the item is yours, there is no lease term."
"This is like giving it away for free. You are not allowed to regret it."
Elena looked at Bai Jin and said, "I won't regret it. This is the reward for the lady chatting with me that day. I'm sorry for dragging it out for so long."
When Bai Jin heard this, she said she wouldn't mind since there was nothing else to do at the time anyway.
Yang Yu then put the Heavenly Stone into the system without hesitation.
After putting away the [Stone of Heaven], Yang Yu took out the page from the system and asked Elena if she could interpret the questions above. If not, did she know about the creature called the Nine-Life Cat Demon
Elena couldn't decipher the words on it, but she seemed to have seen similar words somewhere. When she thought about it carefully, it really reminded her of something.
"The previous Elf Queen seemed to have shown me this page, and also told me about the nine-life cat demon."
"If it's the nine-life cat demon that is the hero's companion, I've seen it before."
Elena shook her head and said, "It was earlier than that. Queen Mingtu Saiqiute seemed to point to the pages of the book and explain to me the superiority of holy light treatment over potions.
I remember that she was reading
'The first plant to tame magic was alfalfa, which used magic to weave unique fibers and proteins', giving those fibers and proteins some unique properties.
Clover with a large concentration of magic power will have four perfect leaves. Clover with a small concentration of magic power will have an uncertain number of leaves, mostly three leaves.
If the magic power is more sufficient, three more leaves will grow on the four leaves.
When those fibers and proteins are blended, the magic in them can be absorbed by other creatures.
Unfortunately, after absorption, the plant's magic power will be deposited in the body, hindering subsequent absorption by the organism, and it is extremely difficult to excrete it through metabolism.
There is still no creature that can perfectly absorb this magic power.'
