After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King Chapter 237 - 113: First Pillar of Wings - Royal Knight - Wi

"Brother, what is the purpose of our lives?"

"To farm for the lord."

"No, brother, you misunderstood. I an... what aningful things should we do in our lives?"

"To farm for the lord, otherwise we will starve to death."

"..."

*This is really too sad. Shouldn’t we have so dreams? To beco knights, or maybe magicians? Even having a drink at a tavern at night would be nice...*

*Of course, we could stop farming and do things we love, like... sothing interesting!*

"I think... we can do a lot of interesting things."

"Like what?"

"Like... like... let’s keep farming..."

"..."

Listening to the conversation between the two farr brothers, Yila, standing in the shadows, revealed a complex and inexplicable smile. He felt like laughing... but for so reason, he couldn’t make a sound.

*This was the empire, and for the empire, even for his ti working in the empire, it was a good situation... The people must stay ignorant until their intelligence becos aningless.*

*Yila had no intention of changing this situation... It should have been like this, but things were different now. Since coming to the Demon King Territory, his deanor had softened quite a bit.*

*Whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, he did not know.*

Yila tried self-assessnt but couldn’t get an answer. His wings fluttered gently at his back as he watched the farrs heading ho and the gradually darkening sky. His body wrapped in Mana turned into a small bat, flapping its wings and flying into the sunset.

This place was within the empire’s borders... and relatively close to the Royal Capital. However, not too close. To be more specific, this place was -- Caligula Duke’s Domain·Caligula Duke’s Territory.

Yila had set off last night, and by the ti the sun was about to set today, he had already crossed a distance equivalent to the sea route from Silver Moon Tree Court to the Demon King Territory... A distance that would take a large ship sailing at full speed about twelve or more days to cover.

The Void Travel required knowing the corresponding Void Realm coordinates... In other words, after mastering the ability of Void Travel, one could only teleport to places they had previously visited.

Then, why was Yila so fast?

...

To understand this, one needed to know a fact... When Yila activated the First Wing Pillar·Crimson Dragon·Wing Shatter, he had used it for so many years that his skilled mastery allowed him to do incredible things.

For example... flying at speeds fast enough to cause a sonic boom.

Of course, although the World Spell on his neck could barely be said to be enough, the wings of the Crimson Dragon could not sustain 24 hours of flight. So when the wings broke down... he would use Void Travel to return and get more Mana from Satan Ye.

Heh, using cheat codes, they called it.

Yila was in such a hurry, on one hand, because the most important research project in the Demon King Territory was the automatic magic wand. Production and developnt had stalled, and more standard tallic magic wands were urgently needed.

On the other hand... hehe.

"..."

Yila peeked a small bat head out from behind a haystack, looking at the nurous warehouses in front of him. He had no idea where his target was... For a satisfying theft, he brought his precious rchant Bag.

Yes, it was the tiny satchel on the small bat Yila.

"..."

"..."

As night fully set in, the knights guarding the warehouses lit their torches... Yes, these were Caligula’s private soldiers, his exclusive knights, whose duty included guarding the warehouses.

The next morning, many carts would carry assorted goods to various auction houses or business guilds for sale... The atmosphere here was quite serious and ticulous.

Even a small bat would be imdiately closely monitored, and if it continued to approach, it would be cut to pieces by several sharp sword qis. There was no way to get close through normal ans.

Ordinary thieves couldn’t possibly succeed in approaching, much less steal anything.

But the one preparing to do sothing bad was no ordinary thief. One might even say... even legendary thieves didn’t have as overpowering an aura as Yila.

Because if possible, Yila wouldn’t mind using "rob."

For example, now... It was worth ntioning that Yila absolutely was not a good person.

"..."

A knight gave a look to two other knights, who imdiately understood his aning... It was ti for a bathroom break, and they headed to the nearby woods together.

This wasn’t because they were like school children, preferring to go to the bathroom together with friends... Mainly, it was to prevent assassination, betrayal, or private theft - overall, it prevented many things.

But no matter what, preventing Yila was still quite challenging, and that was the ssiest part... Who would have thought there would be a Legend coming to steal things?

Just like "if I beco an emperor, I’ll farm with a golden hoe," it was equally impossible to think, "if I beco a legendary thief, I’ll steal lots of gold coins?" In fact... by then, one wouldn’t even be interested in these things.

Because by then, it would’ve been too easy to obtain, and if it were for seeking revenge... Once a legend, why not just kill the enemy directly?

In summary, if a legend wanted to "steal" sothing, it would be unstoppable.

Though Yila wasn’t much of a thief.

...

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Ti’s up. They haven’t co back yet."

The knight captain, who had been silently counting the ti, said as he signaled a few knights around him, "I’ll take so n to check the situation. The rest of you stay on alert."

Imdiately, several knights went into alert mode, showing that each of them was a rigorously trained knight, not just so undisciplined actors.

However... the captain and several knights had no response after entering the forest.

The dark forest was like a monster eating people...

"..."

The knights quickly regrouped into formation, and one knight who realized sothing was wrong ran to the alert bell, preparing to ring it to notify the upper echelons of the territory -- sothing was wrong with the warehouses.

But a gleaming sword light cut him in half, his internal organs clearly visible...

At that mont, a muffled and indistinct voice ca slowly from the forest’s direction --

"First Wing Pillar·Royal Knight·Wing Shatter."
