Chapter 109 Speak or Shut Up?
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the sunlight illuminated the earth. People working on the streets felt the heat even more intensely. At this time, in the Mage Guild, the windows were open and ventilated, but the interior was quite stuffy, and some people even felt a chill down their spines.
"What exactly do you want, Luo Yi! Do you still want to disrupt everyone's peace?"
Upon waking up, Sean was the first to question Luo Yi. He simply did not believe Luo Yi's claim of coming to help the hero. Sean kept a close watch on Luo Yi, ready to throw him out the window if he made any suspicious moves.
“Even the hero isn’t in a hurry, why are you, Sean? I’m here to find the hero, and it’s obvious you’re not the one I’m looking for.”
Luo Yi showed no fear in the face of Sean's direct threat. If they really started fighting, Luo Yi wouldn't take Sean seriously at all. He could easily control a wolf beast outdoors and beat Sean unconscious.
"Luo Yi? You're the one who caused trouble in Tsuchiya? You're wanted by the Mage Guild, and you still dare to show your face here?"
This was Zhao Yu's first time meeting Luo Yi, but she had heard rumors about him within the guild before. According to information from the Tsuchiya Guild, Luo Yi had the ability to control monsters and had even controlled Tsuchiya to fight against the heroes.
"Ah, it seems I don't need to introduce myself now, which saves me the trouble. I heard that Wolf State is recruiting capable people to fight against otherworldly monsters, so I planned to come and take a look. If I could take this opportunity to travel with the hero, that would be even better."
As Luo Yi spoke, he ignored Sean in front of him and began to walk closer to Yao Hui, his eyes bright and his expression amused.
Haruki was taken aback by Luo Yi's sudden approach, but judging from the other party's demeanor, there was clearly no murderous intent. Haruki didn't know how to communicate with Luo Yi.
"So, can we get along well this time, Hero? I sincerely hope to take this opportunity to get to know each other better. After all, I had some deep misunderstandings before, and I hope you can give me a chance to repay you properly."
"What's going on? This is so agonizing!"
Yao Hui is feeling extremely uncomfortable because of Luo Yi's antics. This has even made Yao Hui feel that Luo Yi is deliberately trying to disgust him. Yao Hui can't understand Luo Yi's motives at all.
"Get away, you bastard! Haruki doesn't need your help. Who knows if you'll sabotage us halfway through! Stay away from Haruki!"
Ajiu stepped forward and stood between Yaohui and Luoyi, spreading her arms to protect Yaohui behind her. As she slowly retreated, she also spoke to Luoyi in a way that distanced her from him.
"What's going on? Does Luo Yi have some kind of grudge against the hero?"
"I suppose so. Luo Yi previously controlled the Earth Guardian of Earth Guardian Valley and clashed with the Hero multiple times. However, Luo Yi's identity and purpose remain unclear, which makes the guild very troubled by such a dangerous character as Luo Yi."
Faced with the captain's question, Zhao Yu gave a preliminary explanation. She didn't know Luo Yi's situation, but judging from his current behavior, the other side clearly had no hostility. Moreover, if Luo Yi could really provide help, it would definitely be very helpful to the current situation.
"You're not welcome here, Luo Yi! Leave the guild right now, or you'll be arrested and imprisoned by the Mage Guild!"
"How ridiculous! You, a victim of the Mage Guild, are here speaking up for the perpetrators. I was just trying to help you get justice, and you're driving me away. You have no conscience!"
"You bastard, you deserve a beating! You've done so many bad things and you still pretend to be righteous? You're the biggest monster destroying this town!"
"Then I'm still better than you. At least I won't be like you, who is nothing without the help of the hero. In the end, you still got to where you are today because of the hero's pity."
Sean grabbed Luo Yi by the collar and clenched his fist. Luo Yi reached out and wrapped his arms around the shadowy figure, his eyes becoming serious.
"Stop, stop, stop! This is not the time to be hostile to each other! Calm down, we're not gathered here to fight."
Zhao Yu spoke up and intervened, pulling Sean and Luo Yi apart and using telepathy to calm them down.
Sean calmed down, loosened his fist, and stepped back, ignoring the person he disliked. Luo Yi stood there, very interested in Zhao Yu's magic. He raised his hand and grabbed at himself, and a ball of light appeared in his palm.
"This is truly amazing magic. It's similar to Yongyi Chunjing's healing energy, but it's a mind-based one."
Once everyone had calmed down, Zhao Yu stepped forward to take charge of the situation, first ensuring everyone was seated comfortably. The most pressing issue was still dealing with the threat from the otherworldly monsters.
“I told you I’m here to help. Even if you don’t believe what I say, you should at least believe this.”
Luo Yi manipulated a dark shadow with both hands, forming a circular hole from which a red feather floated onto the conference room table. This feather came from the Golden Eagle Demon, and everyone present recognized it.
"It looks familiar, doesn't it? These are the feathers of the Golden Eagle Demon leader. Before coming here, I originally planned to find a few Golden Eagle Demons as spies to gather intelligence from the air. However, when I arrived at the Golden Eagle Demon's territory, I found it to be a scene of devastation, with craters and broken feathers everywhere."
"The Golden Eagle Demon Clan was attacked? Was it done by that otherworldly monster?"
Luo Yi's description made Yao Hui feel very uneasy. Whether it was the tragedy of the Golden Eagle Demon Clan's death or the worry about the power of the otherworldly monsters, all of this made Yao Hui feel extremely uncomfortable.
"It can be basically confirmed that there was almost no blood or debris left at the scene, which is consistent with the characteristics of the otherworldly monster's 'predation'."
However, in a secluded cave belonging to the Golden Eagle Demon clan, I discovered a few remaining Golden Eagle Demons guarding the clan's eggs. They were completely terrified and didn't even dare to leave the cave.
I tried to control them and make them fly, but they showed obvious stress reactions as soon as they left the cave. If I had let go any later, I think we would have lost another golden eagle demon.
Luo Yi's tone was neither pity nor anger as he recounted the events; he was simply stating the facts, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
However, Haruki could no longer contain himself; the combined emotions of grief and rage were now weighing heavily on his heart—
Did the Red-tailed Golden Eagle Demon ask Zeta for treatment in order to fight against the otherworldly monsters? Was it the invasion of the otherworldly monsters that led the Golden Eagle Demon clan to fight to the death?
No, this otherworldly monster is completely different from the last one, which was so arrogant. Could it be an intelligent otherworldly creature? Considering the unusual reaction of the Golden Eagle Demon horde during their attack on Wolf Wilderness, could it be that the threat of the otherworldly monster forced the Golden Eagle Demon horde to...
"Are you alright, Haruki? Are you alright?!"
"I... I'm fine, Zeta, it's just... there are many things I can't understand, but I dare not think about them anymore."
Zeta's words of comfort did little to ease Haruki's heavy heart. On the contrary, the numerous doubts only intensified Haruki's inner torment. If this otherworldly monster wasn't found quickly, more tragedies like this would occur.
"So, do you have any countermeasures, Luo Yi?"
"No, but I can mark the monsters myself. If a marked monster is attacked by an otherworldly monster, I will know its location immediately."
"Can we really trust this guy? Don't forget what Luo Yi said about his goal being the Courage Crystal! If he's in cahoots with the otherworldly monsters and steals the Courage Crystal, then we're doomed."
The captain asked a question, Luo Yi answered it, but Sean still had doubts. The three parties held their own opinions, and it seemed that a balance could not be reached through words alone.
"Have you finished talking so much nonsense? You're really dragging your feet. Are you discussing how to eliminate otherworldly monsters or playing house? If you really can't, why don't you have a fight? Whoever wins becomes the leader, so we can stop arguing here!"
Belial Twilight, never one to shy away from stirring things up, chimed in with a few words. Although he was clearly there to provoke them, the three people present shared the same sentiment and thus went along with Belial Twilight's provocation.
Let's have a fight and make those who should shut up shut up obediently.
