Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Chapter 1760: The Disposition of Sol Rott

  • Next Chapter

The operation concluded faster than expected.

Before the plan started, Yang Yu and his team prepared everything meticulously.

They did not slack off despite having just experienced a battle.

The situation was one-sided, and the Lux remnant hiding in the secret hideout had no power to resist.

In addition to defeating the Lux remnants, Yang Yu and his team were pleasantly surprised to encounter remnants of the Curse Sect.

Originally, Yang Yu had planned to find the Curse Sect remnants, and meeting them now saved considerable effort, allowing more time to prepare for visiting the goddess.

Carrying the captured offspring of the Evil Dragon and members of the Curse Sect back to the surface, the giant dragon once again tore through the sky, appearing before Yang Yu and his team.

This time, Black Dragon Hei Luo came.

He brought Sol Rott along with him.

How to handle Sol Rott was a matter of lengthy discussion for the Giant Dragon Council.

Some believed that although Sol Rott was from ancient times, he was living in this world as a giant dragon, and the Giant Dragon Council should have the right to manage him; he should not be allowed to act recklessly.

Others argued that Sol Rott spoke with reason; until now, they had been pursuing ancient rules, ignoring the ever-changing times. As a dragon born in ancient times, Sol Rott should have unique insights into this era; as long as he doesn’t use his transcendent abilities recklessly, he should be allowed to exercise his rights as a human.

The proponents of this suggestion argued that not only Sol Rott, but any well-educated dragon meeting certain conditions should be allowed to understand, recognize, and change this world.

The Old Dragon King was a supporter of the second view.

He sensed that a new era was about to arrive.

In the history he understood, breaking certain shackles would lead to unprecedented efficiency and rapid prosperity in society.

Clinging to past ideas would continually cause backwardness in the future world.

While dragons are extremely powerful, as magic power continues to decline, their strength will gradually diminish, and then...

Eventually, they will reintegrate into the collective known as humans, and their mission will thus end.

The Old Dragon King finally made his decision, establishing three conditions with Sol Rott, granting him freedom again to pursue what he wanted.

Sol Rott was not reserved; he requested to visit Panlong Peak directly, narrating past stories to every dragon he encountered.

It wasn’t until Hei Luo said, "Yang Yu and the others found a new offspring of the Evil Dragon, would you like to meet Yang Yu?" that Sol Rott paused his storytelling and came along.

After handing over the offspring of the Evil Dragon to Hei Luo, just like the previous two times, Yang Yu and his team received a very generous reward, completing the team’s collection of legendary equipment.

Yang Yu greeted Sol Rott like an old friend and stepped aside to whisper, truthfully sharing the upcoming plan.

Due to the unknown danger, after Gao Yuanyi inherits the Devil King’s Power, Yang Yu decided to enlist anyone he could for emergencies.

Unfortunately, what they were about to do was too shocking, and given how others might accept it, Yang Yu wasn’t sure how many people he could get on board.

Whether Sol Rott could help became especially crucial.

Sol Rott asked Yang Yu a few simple questions and agreed to his plan.

As a descendant of past civilizations, Sol Rott felt responsible and obliged to witness everything, risking his life if necessary.

The Dragon God’s Might was nearby, and Yang Yu and his team did not deliberately avoid it.

When asked about this by Glantham, Yang Yu eloquently recounted the story he heard from the Nine-Life Cat Demon, providing the translated diary of The Dragon God’s Might.

"I don’t know if you can understand this book.

Nor do I know whether you would approve of my next steps after understanding it.

But I believe you are trustworthy people.

Perhaps we will still need your strength, so now I tell you what I know.

If we disagree, we might have to find a way to fight so you can be convinced."

Taking the translated diary, there was a hint of surprise and depth in Glantham’s eyes,

"I will read it carefully.

After reading, we will plan further.

Let me remind you, clumsy inducement won’t fool us.

The bitter fruit of deceit, you will have to swallow yourself."

Glantham carefully took the diary handed by Yang Yu and asked if there was anything else.

After confirming Yang Yu had nothing else to add, The Dragon God’s Might bade farewell to Yang Yu and his team and went back to study the book Yang Yu had given them.

From Yang Yu’s words, The Dragon God’s Might vaguely understood some of the ins and outs, but there were still detailed questions they did not grasp.

Perhaps they could find the answers they wanted in the translation Yang Yu had given.

Watching The Dragon God’s Might leave, Yang Yu turned his gaze to the unconscious Kekarlos and the other remnants of the Curse Sect.

How to dispose of these people, Yang Yu had already thought of before returning to the surface.

...

...

Time flew by once more, and in the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.

The world seemed to return to the peace of yesteryear.

Walking on the bustling commercial street, pedestrians came and went endlessly, shops lined the street with various products, and the cries of vendors were unceasing.

War appears to be a thing of the distant past.

With no demon clans active within the borders confirmed, each country declared a preliminary victory and gradually relaxed regulations.

In recognition of those who excelled in the war, each country also launched its "celebration banquet" mode, celebrating victory.

Yang Yu and his companions were naturally amongst those invited.

The high-ranking officials did not know the role Yang Yu played in the battle at Demon King City, but solely based on their actions in various battlefields, they were worthy of receiving several hero medals.

To recruit Yang Yu, this "high-end talent," the high-ranking officials of various countries tirelessly sent personnel to extend an olive branch to him.

If Yang Yu were willing to work domestically, Luo Ze Empire might even break the norm to grant Yang Yu the title and treatment of a Duke.

This was a dream-achieving honor and power for countless people.

However, Yang Yu refused Klaroci’s award, saying: "If you really want to give me these things.

I hope you can convert these things into actual money to appease the families of the deceased.

Even if their strength was insufficient, those soldiers fearlessly charged ahead for this country, for their families.

They are heroes too.

If their funeral matters are not handled well, who would be willing to sacrifice for the country in the future?"

Klaroci said they had already prepared the rewards in that regard, assuring Yang Yu not to worry.

Yang Yu changed his reason to decline again, and after several attempts, Klaroci could only reluctantly agree to only bestow honors without substantial rewards to Yang Yu.
