Chapter 135 How dare he?
After the site was cleared, the noise subsided. Li Ying accompanied Po Xiao off the field to receive treatment and examination. The remaining wolf knights waited outside for further instructions. The wolf lord led Yao Hui, Luo Yi, and others into the rear of the camp to formally discuss countermeasures.
"How exactly did you rescue the leader, the wolf knight, Luo Yi? Did you discover some secret about Bogaru?"
"Don't be so impatient, Mr. Hero. Let me sort out my thoughts. Rushing things like this can lead to saying the wrong thing."
Yao Hui's straightforward greeting also voiced the doubts of those present. Luo Yi began to think carefully, which was unusual for those who knew him, but they didn't think much of it.
"Do you think Luo Yi can be trusted, Zhao Yu? I feel like he's hiding something from us."
"But at least he's on our side now, isn't he? He's really helping us, so let's try to trust him this time, since the lord probably feels the same way."
Sean, like Ajiu, still harbored distrust towards Luo Yi. Zhaoyu could understand their concerns, as she herself felt the same way to some extent, but she still chose to be tolerant.
Moreover, compared to Luo Yi's matter, Zhao Yu is now more concerned about the Light Magic Stone in front of her. It is on the Wolf Lord's collar, so close yet so far. Zhao Yu is not sure if she is ready to touch the Light Stone. She still feels that she does not have enough strength to become a hero.
"The secret about Bogaru is actually quite simple. The Ice Fang Crocodile that I made a contract with was also swallowed by Bogaru, but the contract did not disappear after that. So I followed the contract's guidance and found a chaotic space, where I discovered the monsters that had been 'swallowed' before, including the Amethyst Knight Wolf and the Golden Eagle Demon, but they were all in a coma."
"Because of my limited abilities, I could only rescue one giant beast. After bringing the Amethyst Knight Wolf out, I hid it to avoid being discovered by Bogaru. I will tell you about it when the time is right."
Luo Yi tentatively offered this explanation, his expression of looking around clearly indicating that he was not someone who would lie. However, there was no other evidence besides Luo Yi's statement, so whether they believed it or not, everyone had to listen.
"You don't look too well, Mr. Luo Yi. Is there something you're worried about? If you have any needs, please feel free to ask."
The wolf lord was the first to raise a question, and Luo Yi calmed himself down and turned around to respond. Even though he knew he wasn't good at lying, Luo Yi still had to keep the situation going.
"Then I'll be frank, Lord. Because I had a lot of unpleasant experiences with the guild before, I wanted to seek the protection of some other powerful forces. However, when I cooperated with the First Wolf Knights, I also had some conflicts with them, which put me in a rather awkward situation."
Luo Yi's face clearly showed his helplessness. In front of the Wolf Lord, and after just rescuing the territory knights and making a contribution, Luo Yi's words sent chills down the spines of the members of the Magician Guild and the first team of wolf knights present.
"This guy actually resorted to dirty tricks!"
The wolf lord chuckled. Having dealt with humans for so long, it was impossible for it not to understand the meaning behind Luo Yi's words. Humans are always seeking protection, and if they can't get protection from the guild, then the best option left is the Wolf Knights of Wolf Wilds.
He was the very backer that Luo Yi needed right now. This wasn't the first time the Wolf Lord had encountered such a situation. He sat up, his eyes darting around. The Wolf Lord was quite happy to take Luo Yi under his wing.
“That’s easy. I’ll arrange a position for you, and you can report for duty tomorrow. After that, you can focus on your work. I’ll take care of everything else.”
"Thank you for your kindness, lord. I am grateful for your help, but what I want is not peace."
The Wolf Lord's kind acceptance and shelter was undoubtedly a reward that every creature in the entire Wolf Wilderness State longed for. When the Wolf Lord himself uttered these words, many of the wolf knights watching were stunned. And now, Luo Yi actually refused to his face...
How dare he?
"Oh, what do you want?"
The wolf lord's curiosity was piqued. He had seen far more greedy and profit-driven people than anyone else, and he wanted to see what made Luo Yi different from them.
"Finding a stable position is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the fact that I am all alone with no background or achievements, so I am not comfortable sitting in my position. Therefore, I would like to ask the lord if he could give me a chance!"
"Let me stay by the lord's side for a few days, so I can do some work to help you. That way, I'll have made an appearance in front of the public and have some achievements to show for myself, right?"
Luo smiled and grinned at the wolf lord, his smug expression making many people want to beat him up.
Luo Yi has gone straight to the lord's name. He's definitely using the lord's reputation to embellish his own image. He's shameless!
"Hmph, you certainly have a big appetite, human! But what's interesting is your magnanimity. I'd be happy to give a courageous warrior a chance to prove himself. As long as he has the ability to slay demons, I'll grant him fame and fortune!"
"To be honest, my slash is quite powerful, as the Light Stone Hero standing over there knows best."
"That guy really deserves a beating!"
Luo Yi's few words reminded Sean of his past unpleasant memories. He had been tormented to the point of near death, and he had also dragged down too many people around him. All of that was Luo Yi's fault, and now their suffering had become Luo Yi's bonus points.
"I'll beat you up sooner or later, Luo Yi!"
Sean watched from afar as Luo Yi fawned over the Wolf Lord, his eyes blazing with fury. His low growl, filled with gritted teeth, made everyone around Sean feel his intense hostility. It was hard to imagine what would happen if Sean and Luo Yi were alone together.
With the interlude over, let's get back to the main topic. For the Wolf Lord, settling Luo Yi down is a minor matter; the real issue now is how to eliminate Bogaru as quickly as possible, which is the most important thing for the entire Wolf Wilderness.
Knowing that Bogaru's devouring was merely a spatial transfer, the Wolf Knights no longer needed to be as timid as before. Now, they viewed Bogaru as nothing more than a strange-looking, somewhat powerful otherworldly monster, which had become the next prey in the eyes of the pack of wolves.
"Luo Yi, what exactly is Bogaru's chaotic space like? What is the situation inside?"
"I don't know. I only saw a crack at the time and didn't go inside. If you want to ask, you'll have to ask the leader, Knight Wolf, but I can't guarantee whether he was conscious when he was there."
"Where did you find that crack? Can we find Bogaru through that crack?"
"I'm afraid that won't work. After discovering that some monsters have gone missing in the Chaos Space, Bogaru will most likely move his base. Going back to the old place would be pointless."
Yao Hui's several inquiries did not yield satisfactory answers, and the strategy for dealing with Bogaru remained unclear.
The wolf lord listened to the discussion from the side, and this was also an opportunity for him to understand the heroes' style of doing things. In any case, they were still the most revered beings among humans, and knowing more about them would help the wolf lord to get along well with the humans.
"The key to breaking this deadlock lies in finding Bogaru. As long as it's still in Wolf Wilds, it's only a matter of time before it shows up. But right now, besides Bogaru, we have our own issues to discuss with the lord."
Changing the subject, Yaohui, prompted by Ajiu, addressed the Wolf Lord. After a moment's thought, the Wolf Lord roughly guessed what the heroes and their companions cared about.
"It's about the Light Magic Stone, isn't it, Hero?"
The wolf lord stepped forward, revealing a collar that displayed a red light magic stone, a creation of the Mage Guild, which should have been received by Zhao Yu.
Now that Zhao Yu has seen the Light Magic Stone up close, she does realize that her telepathic magic is being activated by the Light Magic Stone, and there is an invisible connection between her and the Light Magic Stone, a feeling of mutual calling.
"This Light Magic Stone was acquired by the Wolf Knights after landing. After research, it was found that it could unleash some superpowers. After a final discussion between the Wolf Knights and the Mage Guild, it was decided that I would temporarily use this Light Magic Stone."
"I know this is not kind to the original hero, but I hereby guarantee with the honor of the lord that it will be returned after the Bogaru riot is quelled. The Wolf Wilds now needs a lord stronger than before to stabilize the order of the entire territory, and we need the hero and others to understand and be tolerant."
After the Wolf Lord said this, Yao Hui and the others had nothing to say. The Wolf Lord did have his own difficulties in taking possession of the Light Magic Stone, which was understandable, but they were still somewhat upset.
This is a last resort; Yaohui and everyone else have to reluctantly agree. It's hard to make them happy to say "yes," but it would be even worse to make them say "no."
Luo Yi didn't get involved in Yao Hui and the others' emotions. He looked at the wolf lord in front of him and had some new ideas...
