You want to force me to be the devil, right?

Chapter 215 Youth is Wonderful~ Our Secret Relationship!
"This...is this the physique of young people...?"

"That's incredible!"

Lady White Rose smiled and exclaimed in amazement.

"No, I'm the only one who's special." Shane smiled and shrugged.

Are young people physically capable of fighting off dozens of succubi?
That's overthinking it.
"When are we heading to the Dark Forest? Tomorrow?" Lady White Rose asked, leaning against Shane's chest.

"It should be late tomorrow night. I heard from Lophis that the number of people has been gathered," Shane replied.

But he was a little confused. He had only managed to gather about half the people yesterday, so how come everyone was there today?
Could it be that they're conscripting men?

“Coincidentally, I am also traveling to a special country tomorrow,” Lady White Rose said softly, her fingertips gently stroking the holy light.

Xia En: "Where to?"

"Do you know about mermaids?" Lady White Rose asked, staring intently into Shane's eyes.

"Mermaid?"

Upon hearing this, Xia En revealed a thoughtful expression.

He had indeed heard of mermaids, but had never seen one.

I have seen fishmen before, on the coastline.

“They dwell on the Isle of Glass, which is a shifting island that only approaches the coast of the Kingdom of Dawn recently,” Lady White Rose explained. “Because the Isle of Glass produces various corals, crystals, and other specialties, I must make a trip there myself.”

"But you should know that the goods acquired on Glass Island account for 15 percent of the White Rose Merchant Guild's annual profits."

"Oh, that's an astronomical figure."

Shane nodded thoughtfully.

The White Rose Merchant Guild's annual profit is probably over several hundred million gold coins, and 15% of that is nearly a hundred million gold coins!

hiss~
The White Rose Merchant Guild is really rich!

"Is there anything you'd like me to bring as a gift?" Lady White Rose asked affectionately.

"I...want a mermaid!" Shane joked.

"Okay~"

Lady White Rose smiled and agreed.

"?"

Xia En paused for a second, then quickly said, "Just kidding, just bring me some local specialties."

"Good~"

Lady White Rose smiled gracefully, but a mysterious glint flashed in her eyes.

It seems she has already chosen the gift for Xia En.

next morning.

When Shane opened his eyes, Lady White Rose had already left the room.

On the empty bed, only the fragrance of roses lingered in Shane's nostrils.

"Wow, I'm really busy!"

Xia En murmured something, then got up, quickly washed up, and left the White Rose Bank.

As soon as he returned to Saint Hua Magic Academy, a member of the student council approached him.

"Shane, the student council president invites you."

"it is good."

Xia En nodded, then followed the other person toward the student council.

When he pushed open the door to Lophis's office, he saw Mina.

"looking for me?"

Shaun asked Lophis a question, and at the same time, sat down next to Mina.

"Mina said she wants to go with you, is that true?"

Lophis glanced at Mina sitting opposite her and asked Shane.

"Well, really."

Shane nodded and responded.

His response brought a delighted smile to Mina's face.

After all, she was only a second-year student and could not sign up to go to the Dark Forest.

Only through Lophis's connections can this be achieved. "Then you must take responsibility for her safety," Lophis said to Xia En, her arms crossed.

Okay, no problem~

Xia En assured him.

“Alright, I’ll take care of the formalities.” Lophis nodded slightly and continued, “We’ll probably set off tonight.”

"Isn't the royal city quite far from the Dark Forest? What kind of transportation should we take to get there?" Shane asked curiously.

"Magic airship".

Lophis twirled a strand of hair as she answered Shane, "While it can't match the speed of a griffin, it's about the same."

"Based on the time calculation, it should take about twenty-seven hours to reach the Dark Forest."

"A magic airship? I've never been on one before."

Xia En nodded thoughtfully. He had never been on a magic airship before, so he could try it out.

"However, the magic airship is for four people. All the third-year students have already been settled, so it's just the two of you~"

Lophis glanced at Shane and Mina, then continued, "Would it be alright if you shared a room with me?"

"Okay."

Xia En nodded, mentally calculating the 27-hour journey.

If we set off tonight, we should be able to reach our destination around midnight the day after tomorrow.

Moreover, an airship would be much more comfortable than a griffin.

"So, how did you manage to gather a hundred people in such a short time?" Shane asked Lofis.

"It's very simple."

Lophis shrugged and said, "I found those guys who spread the rumors. To punish them, if they're not willing to go to the Dark Forest, then they won't be able to graduate from the Holy Flower Magic Academy."

"?"

Shane's eyebrows raised slightly.

Are you threatening me with graduation?
As expected of you, Lophis.

However, that was trouble that group of guys brought upon themselves.

Who gave them permission to spread rumors?
"Speaking of which, several teachers from the Holy Flower Magic Academy have already gone to the Dark Night Forest ahead of time," Lophis continued. "They will assess which areas are safe and which are dangerous, and selectively send the students there."

"Moreover, I heard that this battle went particularly smoothly."

"Therefore, this live-fire exercise should not be too dangerous."

"That's good."

Xia En heard that the teachers had already familiarized themselves with the environment in advance, which showed that Saint Hua Magic Academy attached great importance to this practical exercise.

“I heard from my grandfather that although there are figures resembling the Demon King in the Dark Forest, progress is going very smoothly under the leadership of Auresia and the Pope of Light,” Mina added. “It seems that the demons are still in a state of defeat and leaderlessness, and there is no trace of them being led by the Demon King.”

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, Xia En was overcome with longing.

The demons... indeed did not receive any leadership from the Demon King.

Because their demon king resides in the capital city of the Dawn Empire!

“My grandfather also said,” Mina continued, “that the Demon King might not be a true demon, because according to historical records, a small number of Demon Kings were not originally demons.”

"That's absolutely right~"

Lophis smiled and glanced at Xia En.

Shaen, he is definitely not a demon!

After talking for a while longer, Shane and Mina left Lofis's office temporarily.

They need to go back home to retrieve their personal clothing, etc.

On the way, Mina asked Shane, "Speaking of which, how did your relationship with the president suddenly become so good? Even his attitude towards me has changed a bit."

"Do you really want to know?"

Xia En asked Xia En seriously.

“Hmm…” Mina was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"Because I have a secret relationship with her..."
