"Sigh, glad to see you’re okay."
Talia finally let down half of her hanging heart.
Upon receiving the Immortal Eternal Penalty, Lanci did not suffer the inhuman agony she had expected, and he even appeared to be at ease, as if there was no price to pay.
But it was precisely because of this that Talia couldn’t fully ease her mind.
So debts are borrowed; it’s just that the ti to repay them has not yet co.
"Let’s check the options first."
Lanci reassured Talia not to overthink it, he was fine, or rather, to achieve a perfect ending, it was a necessary choice.
All the options this ti were nas of places.
Since it was clear that Lanci wouldn’t just sit back and relax, he was bound to go sowhere.
If he chose option A, Necropolis Demon King City, it was likely he was seeking Blasphemous Lord logas’s help to join forces and attack the Huo Ning Empire.
Choosing option B, Saint Trier, the capital of Huo Ning, would likely fast forward to the assault on Blood Moon City, the Blood Clan’s lair.
Option C, Hansabec, was the Huo Ning Empire Province where the most simulated investigation activities took place last ti.
"First, let’s rule out seeking the Blasphemous Lord logas. Although it would be steadier to sweep Blood Moon City with a bunch of the Great Demon Clan, to be honest, ti is limited and I’ve already used the Immortal Eternal Penalty on myself, so there’s no need to waste ti going back to Demon King’s Castle to mobilize the Great Demon Clan for help."
Lanci also realized in this simulation why he was able to go to Demon King’s City.
It was actually an alternative option to "using the Immortal Eternal Penalty on oneself."
If Lanci did not apply the Immortal Eternal Penalty to himself, he could just as well call upon a group of the Great Demon Clan, amassing the strongest force at hand and launching a full-scale attack on Blood Moon City.
However, such a strategy was not guaranteed to win, and even if successful, it would inevitably lead to significant losses of the Great Demon Clan in Blood Moon City. Should it fail, it would result in the shaking of the very foundation of the Demon World, even annihilation.
For Lanci, he was still indebted to Calila, he could stake his own life but would not risk the fate of the Demon Race or the lives and desperate struggle of the Great Demon Clan mbers against the Blood Clan.
So he would go alone to settle things with Blood Moon City.
"Since your condition won’t worsen, and we have more than five days, it seems we don’t have to rush directly to Saint Trier straight on to Blood Moon City but can first go to Hansabec Province to further investigate what wasn’t covered before?"
Talia suggested to him.
She always felt that Calila might have seen sothing more than what Lanci experienced in the last simulation before her death.
If Calila were to simulate it, knowing she couldn’t defeat Blood Moon City herself, she would indeed choose a cautious strategy, gathering more intelligence rather than raiding Blood Moon City.
Thus, even if Calila only simulated once, she might have seen more than Lanci knew.
Lanci, in his last simulation, had chosen to march towards Blood Moon City, skipping the many sights he could have investigated in Hansabec Province.
"No problem."
Lanci and Talia thought alike, choosing to head to Hansabec Province.
The view before him shifted.
He turned into a shadowy figure and flew south.
Surrounding scenery quickly receded, and after an unknown amount of ti, the light dimd then brightened again; he had crossed the Demon World, the Land of Perpetual Night, the Holy Polante Theocracy, spanning over tens of thousands of kiloters, and the majestic fortress city-state that stood on the southern border of the Holy Polante Theocracy ca into view.
The orderly streets and the simple, heavy buildings were all within his sight.
[You have passed through the southernmost part of the Holy Polante Theocracy, the Iron Fortress Oberon, which is preparing for the fourth anniversary of the peace restoration of Seville with the border towns of the Huo Ning Empire.]
[Continuing south, you enter the northern Province of Herslein in the Huo Ning Empire.]
[After the war, on the border of the Huo Ning Empire, the cold winter sun shone on the main city covered with white snow, greenhouses abound with lush vegetables and fruits, children frolicking and running, bustling bazaars and comrcial squares, the festive cheer of the winter holidays, were all re illusions in your eyes.]
[Now you just look upon them indifferently.]
This ti, he moved silently within the Huo Ning Empire’s territory for an unusually long ti.
He passed countless city-states and landscapes, and then, as his vision slowed, it was sunset.
Looking around, towering peaks reached into the clouds, and high cliffs shot straight into the sky; amidst the valleys, clouds curled, and the mountain winds howled; a dark grey castle stood proudly on the highest mountain peak.
[When you see Lichtenstein Castle, the landmark, you know you have successfully arrived in the central-northern area of Hansabec Province in the Huo Ning Empire.]
[You have given up on taking another look at your hotown, Brunswick Town, because you have more important things to do.]
In the blink of an eye, he passed the sunny Erm Town and the historic city-state Soren City.
[Based on experience from last ti’s dream, you ca to Viok City to the south.]
[This ti, your only goal was Blood Moon City, but you decided to investigate information related to Demon People along the way.]
[Still, you couldn’t stop worrying about that mother and child.] Explore more at .Côm
[Perhaps you could save them even earlier.]
Nightti.
The Blood Moon hung high, its chilly moonlight draped like satin over the land.
Lanci, carrying a suitcase, avoided the patrolling Knights of the town, heading deep into the suburban forest.
[You walk on, passing through the dense forest at the southeastern corner of the suburbs.]
Suddenly.
A strange stench of blood wafted over him, the lingering scent of beast flesh gnawed upon.
[You survey your surroundings, eyes settling on a nearby thicket.]
[You approach the thicket without making a sound.]
[The cold wind is biting, and the tree shadows sway.]
