Chapter 512: Saxe’s Ambition
The bald uncle grabbed Klein’s calf. “Don’t be so modest. Although I didn’t see what just happened, your valiant and fearless spirit is worthy of our praise.”
“That’s right. If it weren’t for you, we would’ve been beaten to a pulp by Harris’ army. Even surviving would be a problem. From now on, please protect the safety of this space!”
Klein didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How did he become the savior out of nowhere?
He only wanted to clear a dungeon and accumulate materials. He didn’t have any lofty ambitions.
He couldn’t bear the pressure and responsibility that was placed on his shoulders.
After a moment of silence, he said, “Can all of you get up first? Let’s talk this out. I feel that there must be some misunderstanding.”
“There’s no misunderstanding. You are now the owner of the Divine Staff of Skylight, and the leader who led us to resist the tyranny of Demon King Saxe!”
Klein was somewhat at a loss.
Although he knew that the natives were indeed suffering under Demon King Saxe’s rule, he didn’t know what to do.
He was trying his best to overturn the situation in front of him, but he was unable to do so due to his lack of ability.
Therefore, they naturally wouldn’t let go of people like Klein who was nosy and capable.
Although Klein knew that these people also had their own needs and impure motives, he didn’t dare to reject them.
However, everyone’s faces were filled with respect and expectation, and it wasn’t easy to reject them.
He could only sigh softly in resignation.
“How about this? All of you get up first. We will consider the future. Although the Divine Staff of Skylight is indeed in my hands for the time being, I really don’t know much about this space!”
Klein was an outsider. It could be said that he couldn’t protect himself. He had come here to plunder resources.
Although the natives were weak and couldn’t expand the space, the appearance of Klein and the others still broke the peaceful lives of these people.
James coughed lightly. “How about this? This is no trivial matter. We need to consider it carefully and discuss the outcome before replying to all of you!”
There was no need to make it sound so nice. All he wanted was to find a leader to deal with the sinister and evil Devil King Saxe. Everyone knew that.
After asking Klein, he found out that the things that Devil King Saxe had done were beyond his imagination.
The disappearance of the bald uncle’s daughter wasn’t an exception. Many young and beautiful girls had disappeared without a trace.
All of this was inextricably linked to Saxe.
Klein had previously promised the bald uncle that if there was a chance, he would definitely save his daughter. This time, it was even more inappropriate to directly reject him.
James temporarily calmed the matter down and prepared to make a long-term plan with Klein.
The natives weren’t unreasonable. They still quietly waited for news from Klein after they came to their senses.
After receiving the power of the Divine Staff of Skylight, Klein, who was originally physically and mentally exhausted, felt as though he had been injected with stimulants.
The tiredness in his body was swept away. It was as though he had slept well for a day and a night. He didn’t feel tired at all.
He was so energetic that he really wanted to carve out a few more spaces and obtain some precious resources, but he was stopped by James and Cruise.
“Hurry up and go back and have a good rest. Too many things have happened in the past few days, and you need to rest!”
Klein blinked. He knew that James and Cruise were still worried about him, and he couldn’t help but feel touched.
Of course, there was still a huge problem before him. Would he accept being this so-called savior or not?
If Klein refused, he wouldn’t have the face to continue living in this space.
It would be better to return to the original space and enjoy peace.
However, if he really accepted the offer to help the residents, there would be more and more heavy burdens on Klein’s shoulders.
Just as the few of them were discussing what to do, in a magnificent cave in the deepest part of the space, someone was being attacked by an inexplicable anger.
A tall and thin man wearing a black cloak with golden edges was standing in the middle of the cave. His hair was snow white and he wore a strange golden mask on his face.
“What’s going on? You have to give me an explanation. My proudest army and my bravest men are fleeing in all directions and are all dead. You have to give me an explanation for this!”
An explanation? They were afraid there was no explanation.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads to look at the angry man’s face.
They were afraid that the man would turn them into dust with just a single mishap.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? What’s going on?”
“Reporting to the Demon King, Harris has already been beaten to the point that his mind and spirit have been destroyed. Now, we’re not too sure what exactly happened in between…”
The black-clothed soldiers who had escaped could not clearly describe the details of what had happened.
They only knew that they had met a very mysterious young man.
This person could not be said to be very powerful. He could always use unexpected methods to obtain victory in battle.
Even the strongest General Harris was not that person’s match.
Speaking of this man, Demon King Saxe seemed to be very interested.
He reached out and took off the golden mask on his face, revealing a thin and gaunt face.
It was indeed so thin that it made one’s hair stand on end. Other than the bones, there was only dry skin left.
The eye sockets were sunken, more like the result of long-term malnutrition.
“Who is that man? I need more pieces of information. I need you to immediately put the information in front of me. Don’t give me any more explanations and reasons!”
These people bore the fury of Demon King Saxe helplessly. Everyone was trembling in fear. They did not dare to raise their heads, much less speak.
It was as if Demon King was the most terrifying person in the world. No one dared to provoke him.
“Don’t worry, we will immediately go and find out more about this person!”
Upon hearing this answer, the angry Demon King Saxe finally revealed a sinister smile,
He gave the first order of the day, throwing all the black-clothed soldiers who had escaped back into the huge top floor, adding a fire to the cauldron’s flames!
“Also, how is the search for the five-colored stone I need coming along?”
“Rest assured, Great Demon King, we are actively searching for them. We will definitely not let you down!”
Hearing the affirmative report, the Great Demon King’s originally furious mood seemed to instantly calm down.
He looked behind him at the huge top floor, below which were the blazing flames of the stars.
As long as enough five-colored stones were thrown into the cauldron, after being refined by the blazing flames, he would be able to obtain the thing he had always dreamed of.
In this way, not only could he rule over this narrow space, he could even explore other spaces and become the eternal God of this world.
At the thought of this, the Great Demon King could not help but let out a cold laugh. This laugh seemed to be able to pierce through the eardrums of the people around him, making one’s hair stand on end.
