My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

After saying goodbye to Hunter Axe, Lin Mo went straight back to the cathedral.

Because the second prince was with them, they were able to easily check into the largest guest room.

He went in and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Yin Xue flew off his shoulder, landed on the table, and stretched out a big yawn.

Mianmian quickly climbed onto his lap, curled into a pink and white ball of fur, and made soft purring sounds.

As for Otem, he didn't care and simply lay down on Li Yiguang's body.

Lin Mo closed his eyes and focused his mind on his body.

The attribute panel unfolds in my consciousness:

Name: Lin Mo

[Level: 58]

【Body: 109128】

[Agility: 109128]

【Spirit: 109128】

Free attribute points: 12450

[Skills: Mirror Image, Double Strike, Steel Sword, Soul Corrosion, Fatal Strike, Evolution]

【Sacred Revelation: Killing Domain】

Level 58.

He opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly.

They killed Daming, that level 80 hybrid monster, and several level 60 Iron Prison Guards.

I only went from level 54 to level 58.

The amount of experience points required to level up is visibly increasing with each level.

At this rate, I'll reach level 100...

Twilight Stone.

According to Yin Xue, that thing can provide a large amount of experience instantly, making it a shortcut for heroes to level up.

It seems I need to be more careful in the future.

He turned off the control panel and leaned against the headboard.

The matter with my parents has been temporarily resolved, but we must not let our guard down.

The doctor said that patients with mid-stage liver cancer still have a short lifespan and will be very weak.

Therefore, drug development must never stop.

There's also the matter of going home.

The thought of going home involuntarily brought Zhou Yue's image to mind.

I recall that withered figure.

I remember those eight black chains.

I remember the look in his eyes when he asked, "Have we defeated the Japanese?"

Those were veterans of the Long March.

We traveled 25,000 li, and instead of falling on snow-capped mountains and grasslands or under enemy guns, we were dragged to this godforsaken place.

He risked his life for this world, killed demons, and saved countless people.

What did we get in return?

It was eighty years of imprisonment, severed tendons in the limbs, and endless torture.

Lin Mo's fingers slowly tightened, clenching into a fist.

His eyes turned cold.

Not only must Zhou Yue be rescued, but the plan to destroy the country must also be accelerated.

……

Time slowly passed.

After an unknown amount of time, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

It wasn't just one person, but several people, walking hurriedly, heading straight this way.

Then came the knocking on the door.

"Your Highness! Is Your Highness there?!"

A high-pitched voice, the kind of tone unique to court servants.

Lin Mo frowned, stood up, walked over and opened the door.

A dozen or so servants in splendid uniforms stood outside the door.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and no beard, who looked like an old man from the palace.

He was taken aback when he saw that it wasn't Li Yiguang who opened the door, but he quickly put on a smile:

"This must be... a guest invited by His Highness? We've come to pick up His Highness."

As he spoke, his gaze passed over Lin Mo and looked into the room.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has decreed that you return to the palace immediately."

Inside the room, Li Yiguang slowly stood up.

The attendant bowed and respectfully addressed Li Yiguang with his hands clasped in a gesture of respect.

"Your Highness, His Majesty already knows about last night's events. You... had better be prepared."

Otem controlled the puppet, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.

understood?

What happened last night?

The attendant continued, his tone carrying a subtle warning.

"His Majesty is very angry. He says you left the palace without permission, broke into the military camp at night, and killed so many people... This is a grave crime. If you go back and admit your mistake, perhaps you can still..."

He didn't finish speaking.

Li Yiguang interrupted him, "Okay, I understand. I'll tidy myself up and go."

The servant bowed again: "We'll be waiting for you at the door."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to close the door.

Inside the door, Ottmu peeked out from behind Li Yiguang, looking at Lin Mo with a nervous expression.

"Boss, I'm doomed! If I go to the palace, I'll definitely be discovered and I'm dead!"

Lin Mo frowned slightly upon hearing his words.

Yin Xue, exasperated, tapped his wooden head: "They tell you to go to the palace, so you just go?"

Otem was taken aback.

At this moment, Lin Mo had already turned around and opened the door.

The servants at the door were taken aback, clearly not expecting it to happen so quickly.

After a brief reaction, they had to bow again.

However, Lin Mo didn't waste any words and immediately unleashed a sword light.

This sword slashed directly across the throats of more than a dozen people.

Their pupils contracted as they looked at Lin Mo.

"You...you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen corpses lay scattered in the corridor.

Blood flowed through the cracks in the stone slabs, staining the carpet at the entrance red.

Otem was dumbfounded; this showed absolutely no respect for the king's authority.

Lin Mo sheathed his sword and yawned.

"Now that he has the status of the Second Prince, he can select a few more families to upgrade, and at the same time weaken the power of this country."

As for how to rescue Zhou Yue, Lin Mo still has no clue and can only wait for news from Hunter Axe.

Therefore, Lin Mo planned to take this time to level up first, since strength is the prerequisite for all actions.

But as soon as he took a step, something tugged at the hem of his clothes.

He lowered his head.

Mianmian lay at his feet, one of her little paws gripping his trouser leg tightly.

Those compound eyes looked at him as if... they had something to say?

Lin Mo was taken aback.

Mianmian cannot speak.

But it looked at him with its compound eyes, then turned to look at Yin Xue.

Yin Xue flew over and landed on his shoulder, clearing his throat.

"Ahem, well, I have something to tell you."

Lin Mo looked at her.

"Do you remember the day Mianmian and I went out for a walk to clear our heads?"

Lin Mo nodded.

Yin Xue chuckled.

"We didn't just go out to play that day. We took a walk around the city and found that in addition to that Glory Trial Tournament, there was also a children's level tournament group."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

"Only those under 15 can participate. It's quite lively, and there are quite a few people who have signed up."

Yin Xue stretched out his hand and pointed to Mianmian, who was lying at Lin Mo's feet.

"So Mianmian wants to participate. Actually, I also wanted to participate, but the person who registered me said that I couldn't even open the attribute panel, so I couldn't participate. I could only beat that person up and then register Mianmian."

Lin Mo's lips twitched. "You, a former Demon King, are participating in a children's competition? Don't you have any shame?"

He turned to look at Mianmian, where the pinkish-white spider was staring at him expectantly with its eight compound eyes.

The little paws were crossed in front of her chest, as if she were saying, "Please come with me."

Yin Xue shrugged: "It really wants to go. It's no fun following you around killing people every day, so why not let it go and have some fun?"

Lin Mo fell silent.

He looked down at Mianmian.

Her complex eyes were full of expectation, and her small body leaned forward slightly, as if waiting for his answer.

He originally wanted to refuse.

But when he met Mianmian's unwavering gaze, Lin Mo sighed.

"Actually, it would be good to go and take a look."

Mianmian's eyes lit up immediately.

It leaped up in a flash and climbed onto his shoulder in a few quick movements.

It rubbed its furry head against his face vigorously, making excited hissing sounds.

Yin Xue watched from the side, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I knew you would agree."
