598: The mysterious demon lord

Wuluan Ancient City, Chaoxing District.

In the center of a spacious street, Dick suddenly opened his eyes.

"Where did this meat-slave come from, sleeping in the middle of the road? If I run you over, I won't pay for it..."

A rough angry shout came, and Dick turned his head, only to see a carriage speeding towards him.

With no time to think, in the next second, Dick first rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding being run over by the wheels.

Ten seconds later, Dick came to a bench by the roadside and sat down, his breathing heavy, his face behind the mask filled with terror.

It wasn't because he was almost run over by the carriage just now, but because of the pain caused by the System transplanting the Eye of Premonition in the Main Spacetime.

Dick found it truly hard to imagine that he would... be in so much pain that he completely lost consciousness and was forcibly transported to Wuluan Ancient City!

This was an outrageous matter. After all, with the Blessing of a hundred lifetimes of experience, Dick prided himself on being a man of extremely strong will.

Not to mention the Blessings of various Talents and Blessings, no matter what, he shouldn't have been in so much pain that he fainted.

Recalling it now, Dick still couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine!

Subconsciously, Dick touched his left eye, and soon murmured, "Is it gone too..."

His left eye socket was empty, and his vision was also slightly less than usual. Beacon of the Devil Ⅲ had indeed affected his body in Wuluan Ancient City.

Dick wasn't surprised by this.

After all, here in Wuluan Ancient City, although the System's UI interface had disappeared, all Blessings and Talents were still functioning normally.

"So, I can also use the power of the Beacon here..."

Suddenly, the space next to Dick warped, and a spatial gate soon appeared.

Adela, wearing a long maid dress, opened the door and walked out, slowly bowing to Dick and respectfully saying, "You came really early today."

Hearing this, Dick sighed softly. He didn't have the habit of sleeping in the evening.

More than ten minutes later, in a luxurious manor in Chaoyue District.

Sovereign Alice took a small sip of tea and said indifferently, "Don't worry, the me in the Main Spacetime said that you are lying in the hospital in Manbo City for examination, and your body is fine, except..."

"Heh, your left eye is gone!"

Speaking of this, Sovereign Alice looked at Dick with interest, looking at his dark left eye socket.

Dick, who usually had everything under control, had actually suffered two setbacks in one day, losing consciousness in a sorry state and arriving at Wuluan Ancient City.

As expected, no one is perfect. Sovereign Alice knew that no matter how capable Dick was, he was just an arrogant mortal youth.

He was bound to stumble, and then... he would have to come and ask her for help.

Thinking of this, Sovereign Alice felt inexplicably pleased, and a slight blush even appeared on her beautiful face.

"Tell me, what trouble have you encountered this time? For the sake of the Mysterious Sovereign, this Lord can..."

"No need."

Dick exhaled softly, leaned back on the soft sofa, rubbed his brow, and said, "I'll just stay here for one night. You go about your business. If something comes up, I'll tell Adela..."

Hearing this, Sovereign Alice's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, but soon returned to indifference.

She believed that Dick was putting on a brave front, purely out of youthful pride, unwilling to kneel before her for the sake of that boring face.

Besides that, there was one more thing that made Sovereign Alice very unhappy.

This fellow Dick had actually omitted the honorifics again!

When there were no outsiders present, Dick's attitude was becoming increasingly casual, his tone as if they were equals.

If this continued, it wouldn't be long before Dick would order her around just like he did Adela.

"Hmph, if this Lord's guess is correct, you should be unable to return to the Main Spacetime right now."

Saying this, Sovereign Alice gently lifted her leg, displaying her fair and flawless beautiful foot to Dick.

Her slightly curved toes were like unpolished jade, adorned with perfectly applied red nail polish, supplemented by two light gold toe rings, a true work of art.

Sovereign Alice suppressed her excitement, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "This Lord can help you go back again, just like this morning."

However, Dick waved his hand, directly refusing.

"There's no need. I can go back myself. I can wake up in the Main Spacetime at any time."

Dick was a little speechless. Was this Sovereign Alice trying to help him? She clearly just wanted to kick him legitimately.

"You can go back yourself?"

Sovereign Alice looked suspicious, crossing her arms, and asked, "Then why are you still here..."

"Because I don't want to go back yet."

Dick didn't want to experience that terrifying pain that could make him lose consciousness a second time.

His will was indeed strong enough, and perhaps he could gradually adapt, or even endure that pain in the end.

But there was absolutely no need for that. Enduring meaningless suffering, in Dick's opinion, was simply foolish. He wasn't a masochist.

It was better to rest in Wuluan Ancient City for a night and let his body in the Main Spacetime recover.

Sovereign Alice still wanted to say something, but Dick interrupted her first, saying, "Do you know where the Emperor-tier Demon Giber is?"

"Hmm... The Demon Lord was last seen over thirteen hundred years ago. A Lord saw Him appear at the very source of the River of Time..."

Hearing Dick's long-awaited honorifics, Sovereign Alice felt comfortable and slowly spoke about Giber's information.

In most cases, no one dared to call Giber by His name. He was usually respectfully referred to as "Demon Lord."

His powerful strength was one reason, but more importantly, for beings of Giber's level, calling Him by His name was considered a great disrespect.

No matter which time-space plane one was in, He would be sensed, thus inviting disaster.

Of course, this was just an unrealistic rumor. Even if Giber really sensed it, He wouldn't possibly run around looking for everyone.

But regardless, the title Demon Lord was very fitting for Giber, as He was the only Demon Lord!

"Then do you have any news of Him now?"

Hearing this, Sovereign Alice rolled her eyes at Dick and retorted, "Do you think this Lord knows everything? That is a being who has entered the strongest echelon. How could His whereabouts be easily controlled by others?"

After several exchanges, Dick didn't get any more useful information. Sovereign Alice didn't know much.

To be precise, Giber was too mysterious. Although His strength was extremely high, He had only taken action in front of others a handful of times.

Over time, there were even rumors that everyone who had seen Giber take action had been silenced!

"Go ask Fiona. As an information broker, she might know more..."

Dick nodded slightly, but didn't hold out much hope. He soon started talking about other things with Sovereign Alice.
