The last recorded member of the clan dates back 1,500 years, but the history of that time is already quite vague. So for most people, the Golden Clan is not much different from the legends.

But now, the legend has appeared before them.

"The Golden Clan, Selena... Could she be the hero the Demon Clan is looking for?"

After pondering for a long time, Gus asked again.

Gus had already told Cleos about the demons' purpose in coming to the territory and about the hero.

The demons didn't come for Ron, who possessed saint-level magical talent; they came for a so-called hero.

For the sake of this hero, they risked sending two of the Seven Demon Generals deep into human territory, just to eliminate this so-called hero.

It is foreseeable how much the demons fear this hero.

Therefore, if Selena is a hero, then she might be even more important than Ron!

"Let's discuss this matter when we return to the capital."

The door was pushed open, and Cleo led Ron into the conference room. She looked at Gus and said:

"Regardless of whether they are heroes or members of the Golden Clan, what we need to do now is to get them to a safe place."

"Furthermore, this area is no longer safe. The monsters are venturing deeper and deeper, which proves that there must be a problem with the kingdom's border barrier. Otherwise, the Seven Demon Generals would not have been able to appear here so easily. So let's pack up, Viscount Gus. The entire city of Monk will have to be relocated."

“The whole…the entire city of Monk?!” Viscount Guss stood up in surprise, then looked slightly helpless: “I thought we didn’t have to move.”

“I can’t stay here forever, and the kingdom can’t send a king-level professional to guard this place, so relocation is the best option.”

"Cleopatra said softly."

Although she has cleared out all the monsters near Monk City, this does not mean that Monk City can rest easy now.

The kingdom has been able to remain safe and sound all these years thanks to the protective barrier created by the magicians.

The barrier is divided into several layers, and many places rely on natural defenses. Under normal circumstances, apart from a few scattered monsters, no demons would dare to enter human territory.

But now, even the Seven Demon Generals have fled from the border into the heart of the human realm, which proves that there is a problem with the barrier at the kingdom's border.

Staying on the border until the issue of the barrier is resolved would be very dangerous.

If Gus wants the people of Monk City to survive, he should at least go to the next level of the barrier, even if he doesn't go to the capital.

Otherwise, if something unexpected really happens, they won't even have a chance to escape.

Gus understood this, so after hesitating for a moment, he sighed helplessly, "I understand, Lady Cleos."

"Hmm." Seeing that Gus had made a decision, Cleos nodded slightly, then looked at Ron beside her.

Without Cleos saying anything, Ron stepped forward and bowed to Gus.

Gus was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, and asked in confusion, "Ron, what's going on...?"

"Thank you for your continued care, Viscount. Ron... will always remember it."

Ron bowed slightly and gave Guss a very formal aristocratic salute.

Ron already knows what happened last night.

He also knew that, in order to attract the attention of the demons, Gus was willing to use himself and his daughter as bait to escape in another direction.

If yesterday's visitor was merely a King-level demon, and that King-level demon was indeed there for Ron...

Therefore, when intercepting the escaping children, he would definitely prioritize the nobles, Gus and Denise, whose carriages were luxurious.

In other words, Gus was trading his and his daughter's lives for Ron's chance of survival.

Although his plan ultimately failed, Ron could not forget it.

Failure is one thing, doing it is another. Since Viscount Guss was willing to sacrifice his own and his daughter's lives for Ron, Ron will surely repay him in the future by protecting the Viscount's family.

But Ron said nothing at this moment; he simply expressed his gratitude to the Viscount.

After all, he is only a magic apprentice now, and any promise he makes at this moment would seem somewhat unconvincing.

It would be better to express your gratitude first, and then we can talk about the rest later.

Viscount Guss's expression turned serious as he looked at Ron, who was bowing to him.

He didn't treat Ron like a child; instead, he returned the courtesy to Ron as an equal.

Because Gus knew that as long as Ron didn't die, he would definitely grow into a legendary powerhouse.

Therefore, Ron's gratitude is always very important.

Seeing Ron's heartfelt thanks, Cleos said nothing, but a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Clearly, she was very pleased with her new disciple's grateful nature.

But after laughing, Cleos looked at Gus and brought up another matter:

"By the way, Viscount Guss, how's the investigation going with that peculiar black-armored warrior I asked you to look into?"

"!"

Ron's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but he remained calm on the surface, returning to Cleos's side as if nothing had happened.

Yesterday, after Ron and Selena destroyed the remains of Phossonos, Cleos, in her haste to capture another of the Seven Demon Generals, completely neglected to inspect the remaining battlefield.

She didn't pay attention to what happened afterward, so Cleos didn't know that Ron was the mysterious black-armored warrior.

Ron only dared to deactivate his transformation and awaken Selena after he realized that Cleos had left.

Of course, Ron didn't intend to hide his trump card.

However... the matter of the Seven Demon Generals, and what Vito had said about the existence of traitors within humanity, always left him with a deep sense of insecurity.

Out of caution, Ron felt it was better to keep this crucial secret hidden for a while.

On one hand, it can be used as a trump card, but on the other hand... Ron can't explain the source of his power.

It wouldn't be good if we were mistaken for demon spies...

Ron was lost in thought, but Gus wasn't thinking so much. After a moment's thought, he replied:

"Lady Cleos, please forgive my incompetence, I do not know the true identity of that black-armored warrior, but... I think he should be related to the mysterious warrior who appeared at my manor a few days ago."

"Oh? There's also a mysterious warrior?"

Cleos asked in surprise.

Gus nodded and replied, "Yes, some time ago, the people from the Light Protection Society tried to kidnap my daughter and another child with superior magical talent. It was that mysterious warrior who appeared and saved them, but afterwards, the warrior disappeared without a trace."

Have you tried investigating from the adventurers' side?

"We tried, but there was no news at all, as if that mysterious warrior appeared out of thin air."

Gus replied.

A mysterious warrior appeared out of nowhere... Cleos fell into deep thought.

Could the warrior who saved Denise and Harwick be the same person who fought Fusonos this time?

If so... then could he be the hero that the demons are looking for?

Chapter 87 Heading to the Capital, and Rapid Chanting (Seventh update, please subscribe!!)

The identity of the mysterious warrior remains unknown.

After discussing with the others for a while and confirming that they could not obtain any clues, Cleos left the meeting room with Ron.

While all is peaceful now, Cleos needs to bring Ron and Selena to the capital as soon as possible.

Fortunately, because of what happened yesterday, everyone had already prepared everything, saving us the time of packing.

So, right after lunch, Cleos left the manor with Ron and Selena.

"Is there anyone else who wants to say goodbye?"

Before leaving the manor, Cleos asked Ron.

Ron shook his head slightly.

Ron didn't know many people at the manor. Apart from a few classmates who came with him, there were only Denise and Harwick.

Needless to say, although yesterday's events were critical, Denise herself was unharmed. At most, she was a little frightened, but after a couple of calming spells from a priest, she was back to her usual lively self.

Harwick was a little unlucky.

When Phossonos destroyed Ron's carriage, he also destroyed Harwick's carriage.

Fortunately, the old butler Aaron was a mid-level professional and reacted quickly.

Upon seeing that Ron's location had been destroyed, he immediately grabbed Harwick and jumped out of the car.

However, he jumped a little too slowly in the end and was grazed by Phosony's flames.

Both of them were severely burned, and if Cleos hadn't arrived in time, they would probably have been burned to death.

Even so, they are currently recuperating at the church, where a major healing spell is performed every day. It will probably take three to five days for them to fully recover.

Ron had already spoken to Denise.

Harwick was still unconscious, so Ron simply placed a flower by his bedside as a parting gift and that was it.

As for the rest... Ron really didn't have any companions he needed to say goodbye to.
