However, unlike Elki and the others who stayed in Sami, Kalesa chose to continue with Lucifer's expedition team.
"Since Sammy's crisis has been resolved, there is no point for me to stay here. It just so happens that I haven't been back to Kazdel for a long time. Please give me a ride."
"It's easy."
Lucifer and the others did not dwell too much on Kalesa's explanation.
The original intention of their expedition to the North was to persuade the Sarkaz of the Royal Court who were scattered in various places to return to Kazdel. As a member of the Scavenger Royal Court, Kalesa was within their screening range.
As for whether Kalesa, who left her hometown, would be purged and tortured after returning, that was Neczrei's business.
Just when Kalesa was about to get on the bus, the Blood Demon Lord quietly found her.
"Lord Dukare? What do you want?"
"Scavenger, I don't care what happens to you when you return to Kazdel and Nezrei, but if you spread the news that the Stargate Demon and Lucifer were almost destroyed by the collapse to others... you know my methods."
Then, the Blood Demon Lord narrowed his eyes, and the scarlet hidden in his eyes made Kalesa swallow subconsciously.
"Of course... I understand the importance of this matter. Lord Dukare, please rest assured."
"Hmph, you better be."
After saying that, the Blood Demon Lord turned around and ignored Lucifer's call, and got on the vehicle in front, leaving Kalesa disheveled in the wind.
This was not the Blood Demon Lord's attempt to show off and establish a persona in front of his juniors, but a decision he made after multiple considerations.
If Kalesa returned to Kazdel and told everyone the story of the legendary Sarkaz monthly team, the scene of the evil demon at the star gate and Lucifer who almost fell into trouble would definitely cause chaos in Kazdel and the royal court, and Lucifer would have to be brought back to work overtime.
That was not the scene Lucifer wanted to see.
"My Lord, are you thinking of something happy?"
Lucifer looked at the satisfied and smug expression on the face of the Blood Demon Lord sitting in the passenger seat and couldn't help but feel emotional.
"It's none of your business, drive."
"You are so ruthless, my Lord. It's snowing in my heart..."
"Shut up and don't sing."
"send."
……
In almost silence along the way, Lucifer and his companions returned by the original route and re-entered the border of Ursus, and once again arrived at the northern border position of Ursus.
The closure of the Sami Star Gate seemed to have some impact on the demons on Ursus' side. The activity of the demons dropped visibly, and the guards who took turns to take turns even had two more hours of rest time.
Seeing Lucifer and his men returning triumphantly, Igor, the leader of the Wendigo tribe, immediately came out from the camp to greet them.
"I believe you have gained a lot from this trip to Sami."
Seeing that Lucifer's team was intact and even had an extra scavenger, Igor's seemingly stiff expression revealed a hint of relief.
"It's packaged, my brother."
Lucifer waved his hand not in humility but to show that no words were needed.
Although it was difficult and he was almost captured by the evil magic, he still succeeded. Not only did he unlock new combat skills, he also got a blank check from the Cyclops King's Court. He made a lot of money.
"Kuroko said no... So what about you guys, are you interested in switching jobs?"
The matter of the Cyclops has come to an end for the time being. The essential purpose of the expedition team is to determine the will of the Wendigo Court to stay or leave.
If the Wendigos are as determined as the Patriots to stay in Ursus, don't blame the Royal Court for ruthlessly cutting them off.
"about this……"
As expected, Igor's ideas were no longer as strong as when they first met, and the blood of his soul returning to his hometown made them waver a little.
"We do want to help Kazdel, but we are not the ones who decide this matter..."
"You mean there's nothing to talk about?"
Just when Lucifer thought he was going to go home with the Air Force, Igor's topic took a sharp turn.
"That's not the case. There should be a glimmer of hope. The internal guards who originally went to Sami with you have already reported the whole story to the military and Saint Steed Castle. Now, the Emperor of the Ursus Empire, Fyodor, wants to summon you for a talk."
As Igor finished speaking, Patriot and Logos were all surprised.
Although this is the normal process of diplomacy between the two sides, since Emperor Feodor wants to meet them now, it means that there should be more to discuss about the Wendigo Royal Court.
Just when everyone is covered by a serious filter, Lucifer's thoughts always start from another direction.
"Oh my god, Emperor Ursus invited me to the palace. I am so honored."
"?"
255
Chapter 255: Old Black Snake explodes gold coins.
Under the guidance of the Internal Guards, Lucifer's expedition team arrived at the location of Feodor, the capital of Feusas, Fort Saint Steed.
In order to meet Lucifer and his companions, Fyodor specifically turned down today's affairs and all appointments with nobles, just to see with his own eyes the hero who saved Sami and Ursus from the dire straits.
"Saint Steed Castle..."
The Patriot shook off the fine snow that was falling on his body and looked towards the palace of Saint Stein with deep emotion.
It seemed like the last time he set foot here was just before.
Times have changed. He once witnessed the glory of the former Emperor Ursus in the Castle of Saint Stein, and now he has to witness the new emperor's wave of innovation in the Castle of Saint Stein.
But compared to the Patriot who had a complicated heart, Askalon, Logos and the Blood Demon Lord all looked indifferent, and Lucifer couldn't help but complain.
"It's true that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse."
Compared to the frugal palace of Kazdel, the palace of Saint Steed Castle is obviously several levels higher in terms of upper-class nobility. In addition, it has the unique decoration style of Ursus, as if it has the purity of heavy industry.
"Everyone must have come a long way and must be tired. Do you need to rest for a while?"
In front of the main entrance of the palace stood the two gate gods, Witt and Kashena, who asked Lucifer and the others very humbly.
In fact, Lucifer actually wanted to be lazy, but in front of Lord Blood Demon and the others, Lucifer didn't dare to say it out loud, but he didn't want to give up the opportunity to get something for free.
Lucifer's amazing wisdom started to work quickly, and he asked in a more tactful tone:
“Can I get my meal reimbursed afterwards?”
Hearing this, Witt was speechless for a moment, and Kashena, who was smiling with her lips twitched, almost couldn't hold it in.
"...Of course you can. Any expenses you make in Ursus will be paid for by Saint Steed Castle, as long as you don't cause a series of troublesome murders--"
Witt, slightly embarrassed, looked at the Blood Demon Lord in the crowd.
The Blood Demon Lord's notoriety is clearly recorded in various relevant files and historical records. If this humanoid scourge wants to attack Fedor or the Holy Steed Castle, the inner guards who are forced to fight on their own land may not be able to stop him.
Therefore, Witt had strongly opposed Fedor's decision to meet with Lord Blood Demon and others at the beginning, but he could not resist Fedor's insistence on his own way.
Fortunately, the Blood Demon Lord ignored Witt's gaze and seemed to be indifferent to the process of the meeting between the two parties, which made Witt finally feel relieved.
"If you have no other questions, please follow me."
After that, Witt and Kashena gently pushed open the double doors of the Saint Steed Palace, and Lucifer and the others walked into the magnificent hall on the bright red carpet.
Looking around, Fyodor had been sitting on the throne deep in the hall, waiting for a long time.
But the moment he saw everyone, Fyodor, who was supposed to be a background NPC, stood up from the throne, slowly walked down the steps, and stepped on the same level as Lucifer and the others.
What surprised Logos and the others even more was that the Emperor Ursus before them was not as old and haggard as they had imagined. At first glance, he looked almost as young and decent as Lucifer.
It’s just that the responsibilities of being in a high position give him a layer of maturity and steadiness, giving him the beauty of a pressure-resistant king.
At the same time, Fyodor was also looking at Lucifer in front of him.
"The hero who saved the North and defeated the evil... well... he looks no different from me."
Fyodor's speech moved Patriot and Logos.
Unlike other emperors or the previous emperor of Ursus, Fyodor always treats everyone equally, whether infected or Sarkaz. Although his ideas have not yet conquered those deep-rooted impressions, he is indeed influencing Ursus little by little.
"Don't be nervous. I know your purpose is to deal with the Wendigo. Regarding this, I have already informed a messenger from Kazdel called the Shapeshifter Group of my considerations. Once the North is settled, I will arrange for the Wendigo to return to Kazdel. Don't worry, it won't take too long."
"This is so satisfying, my buddy is so powerful."
Fyodor's decisiveness was even more surprising, causing Lucifer to secretly exclaim: This buddy is capable, he really gives with the Wendigo.
And Fyodor didn't call Lucifer and the others over from afar just to inform them of this matter.
Lucifer's team helped him solve the problem of the evil demons in the north and eased the relationship between Sami and Ursus. If he didn't express his gratitude, it would seem that he was too stingy as an emperor.
At the same time, he took this opportunity to establish a good impression and lay the groundwork for Ursus to connect with Kazdel in the future. After all, the ancient mystical expertise inherited by Kazdel could help Ursus solve many of his shortcomings to a certain extent.
"The mainstream of the times does not necessarily have to be war. There are many talented people in Kazdel. I hope we can have closer cooperation in the future."
"Oh."
Looking at the hand that Fyodor extended to him, Lucifer shook it.
Although there were no media or reporters at the scene, with the witness of patriots, this was a scene worthy of being recorded in history.
"Okay, I won't bother you guys anymore. Please enjoy your time in Saint Steed Castle. Black Snake is not... Miss Kashena will accompany you throughout the trip. If you have any questions, just consult her."
Kashena, who was standing by, gracefully bowed to Lucifer and the others, with a look of willingness written all over her face.
"OK buddy, call me if you need anything."
Looking at Lucifer who seemed to be a brother to Fyodor, Logos and others felt complicated.
Fortunately, the result was good. The expedition team’s mission cannot be said to have been successfully completed, but it can be said to have been a great success. The value of the mission was really high.
Under the gaze of Witt and Fyodor, Lucifer, Kashena and their group gradually faded out of the palace's sight.
However, Lucifer intercepted Kashena not long after she walked out of the palace.
"What, what did you do?"
Looking directly at Lucifer's bright red vertical pupils, Kasheina's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and she suddenly recalled the feeling of emptiness that she had once felt when Lucifer drained her.
Lucifer said nothing, but just kept reaching out to get something for free.
"Mr. Lucifer...isn't this inappropriate...?"
Kashena, who was forcing a smile, subconsciously tightened her arms and thighs, showing a playful attitude.
