Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!
Chapter 80 - 80 80 Biting is Too Hard on the Teeth

80: Chapter 80 Biting is Too Hard on the Teeth 80: Chapter 80 Biting is Too Hard on the Teeth Such a good Priest talent used to play as a Hunter, and spoken about as if it were a matter of course, is really a waste.

Besides, your Intelligence is not just one or two stars higher than your Strength, if I must say, since you want to play Hunter with such high Intelligence, wouldn’t playing as a Mixed Damage Magic Hunter be appealing?

Why keep focusing solely on Physical Skills, trying to leverage your high Luck to instantly kill an enemy?

Yang Yu was almost too exhausted to criticize.

Fortunately, Iyas’s level was not high, and there was still room for adjustment…

and re-education, so it was not too late to start anew.

Gradually leaving the novice phase, forming a reliable team became necessary to steadily level up by farming monsters; otherwise, in such a world filled with strong competitors, it was uncertain when one might face a setback.

It seemed, finding Skills was necessary not only for himself but also for Bai Jin and Iyas.

Yang Yu silently started making plans in his mind.

Iyas should look for Healing and various BUFFs; a Priest must fit the role of a Priest.

Otherwise, such a good talent would be wasted.

After learning the necessary skills, if she wanted to use bows and arrows for a normal attack, that was her business, as long as she didn’t forget to heal at critical moments.

As for Bai Jin, finding more large-scale AOE Skills would be ideal to facilitate clearing mobs.

Curse System Skills would depend on fate, and any upgradable skills learned along the way would naturally not be rejected.

Besides, both of them needed to maintain their mana, especially Iyas, who had just over 200 mana.

In prolonged battles, running out of mana would be pretty awkward.

After Iyas joined Yang Yu’s team, he briefly and formally introduced Bai Jin and He Meng, and immediately afterward, he asked Iyas if she had any clues about the auction house.

Actually, the simplest way to find the auction house that sold Iyas would be to locate the Silver Orchid Commerce that had purchased her.

But by now, Silver Orchid Commerce had infuriated Yang Yu to the point of steaming with rage, nearly inviting him over for a pot of tea.

Yang Yu was not so foolish as to walk into a trap.

Besides, although he liked drinking tea, he didn’t enjoy the metallic taste and texture of the teapot, as it was too harsh on the teeth.

Therefore, he preferred others seeking trouble with him rather than the other way around.

Perhaps he could capture an assassin and question him, but using elves for alchemy was a secret of the Silver Orchid Commerce, surely not mentioned to assassins, and thus, most likely a fruitless endeavour.

This path being blocked, Yang Yu could only try to see if he could extract any information from Iyas.

Iyas closed her eyes; despite all being painful memories, she still tried her best to recall them in her mind.

“At that time, I was locked in a cage, where, apart from me, there were various Subhumans and beasts.

Next to me was a striped giant snake, constantly hissing and spitting forked tongues at me, causing my brother to shiver incessantly in the cage.”

“How many cages did you approximately see?”

“I don’t know, many, even people would use magic to stack the cages, each cage packed closely together.

During the waiting period for the auction, we only received a small amount of water and food, not even enough to fill our stomachs.”

It looked like it was an auction house specifically for selling Slaves.

In Terun Country, slave trade was officially prohibited; if there were any, they were on a small scale, so the probability of that auction house being in Terun Country was very small.

Considering that the Luo Ze Empire and Wansheng Country were at war, and that there were no laws prohibiting slave trade, along with the evidence of private dealings between Silver Orchid Commerce and Luo Ze Empire, it was highly likely that the commerce was located in the Luo Ze Empire.

“I was being auctioned, in the auction house, filled with people wearing different masks…”

“That goes without saying.”

If the slave trade was involved, it would inevitably implicate the interests and personal preferences of many major families.

Even if the whereabouts of one or two slaves were known, forcing a major family who bought the slaves to divulge their origins would prove difficult due to the complicated nature of the slaves’ backgrounds, making it hard to pinpoint targets and unrewarding to pursue.

It would be better to start directly from the auction house.

“When you were auctioned, there must have been an auctioneer.

After each person called out their bids, with a final hammer strike, try to remember that person as much as you can.”

After recalling in her mind for a while, Iyas slowly said, “That person was also wearing a mask, but unlike the others, it was a mask adorned with feathers, covering only the eyes, standing tall, dressed in a wide-shouldered red garment.”

“On the clothing, were there any badges, or was anything odd affixed?”

“Indeed, there was an ornament like a sun, but not exactly a sun; rather, a cross was added to the sun, in silver-white color.

Additionally, at that time, I smelled the fragrance of the arnopis orchid from him—strangely, I was captured after those orchids were supposed to be out of season.”

Two useful pieces of information were obtained.

The ornament was likely the symbol of the auction house or the family that controlled it, and the out-of-season scent of the flower could help narrow down the geographical area.

Understanding these two pieces of information could further narrow down the search area.

“Bai Jin, do you know since when the Revive Elixir has been sold?”

Asked by Yang Yu, Bai Jin replied a bit displeased, “I don’t know the exact time, but it was about eight or nine months ago.

A general rejuvenated after consuming the resurrection medicine, and that’s when I wanted to purchase it.

But, it turned out to be just false advertising, the medicine was useless…”

“That’s similar to what I knew.” Yang Yu said earnestly to Iyas, “Iyas, the situation may be more complicated than we thought.

Simply put, it might have been ten months since you were kidnapped.”

“What!”

Iyas widened her eyes in disbelief; in her memory, she had just slept for a while, how could so much time have passed.

“You need to be prepared; your brother might have been sold just like you were, and it will be difficult to find him.”

Yang Yu hadn’t finished speaking when Iyas rushed towards the door, wanting to find her lost brother.

Yang Yu reacted instantly, touching the floor and utilizing “Thorny Binding,” where several thorns sprang from nowhere in the wooden floor, firmly binding Iyas’s entire body.

“Calm down.

Elves are quite valuable, even as slaves they wouldn’t be easily killed.

Perhaps, someone of high status might fancy you, setting you on a path to a brand new life.

Besides, what good does rushing out now do?”

Yang Yu paused for emphasis,

“Think carefully about what I just said.

Just finding the auction house that sold you isn’t easy, let alone extracting information about your brother from them.

You won’t be able to do it without sufficient strength and patience.”

Hearing Yang Yu say this, Iyas gradually calmed down.

“Then, what should we do?

How can we possibly find my brother?”

“For now, we won’t change our current course of action.

Instead of asking around everywhere, it’s better to head to the Library and get it straight.

That badge, if it belongs to some major family or some big auction houses, would be traceable.

After that, we can follow the leads.

Before that happens, surviving in human society is not simple; I have some things I must teach you.”

After releasing Iyas from her restraints, Yang Yu tossed a gold coin high into the air and handed it to Iyas, showing a smile.

“First, the most important lesson is the importance of money, complicated yet simple.

Be prepared mentally.”
