Human race, but was chased by girls from all races

Seeing the seriousness and earnestness on Vincent's face, King Chris nodded and said, "Someone come."

"Your Majesty, I'm here." Two guards came from behind the throne and half-knelt respectfully in front of King Chris.

"Go arrange an empty conference room. I need to meet a guest."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two guards withdrew and immediately followed King Chris's instructions.

"Master Vincent, and this young friend, please follow me." After a while, a guard came running over to tell King Chris that the meeting room had been arranged, and Chris said in an inviting manner.

"..."

Lin Tianlang and Vincent followed the dwarf king Chris to the meeting room. Behind them, there were two dwarf guards holding axes to escort them, and the atmosphere was a little serious.

"Okay, you guys go out. If anyone else wants to see you, just say I'm meeting an important guest and I'm busy for the moment." After arriving at the meeting room, the Dwarf King Chris said to the two guards who followed him.

"Yes, Your Majesty. If there are any special circumstances, we will report to you." The two guards gave Chris a chest-beating salute (bending over and lowering their heads, hammering their hearts with their right fists. Lin Tianlang believed that this should be a unique etiquette of the dwarves, or the Machinery City, to express loyalty).

"Okay, you guys go out, don't come in and disturb us unless there is something special."

"As ordered."

The two guards retreated and closed the door of the conference room. At this moment, only the Dwarf King Chris, Lin Tianlang and Vincent were left in the conference room.

"Master Vincent, what urgent and serious matter requires you to visit the Machinery City in person?" Chris gestured for the two to sit down, and then asked straight to the point.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point and state my purpose." Vincent nodded and said seriously, "I wonder... Your Majesty Chris, have you heard about the news that the Demon Lord has broken the seal and returned?"

"Well... I haven't really heard of it, but I heard about it from some gossip. I thought it was just some rumors at first, so I didn't take it to heart or care about it." The Dwarf King Chris pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Why did Archmage Vincent bring this up? Could it be that the news of the Demon Lord's return is not a rumor, but a fact?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Vincent nodded very seriously. “The fact that the Demon Lord broke the seal is already an established fact, but he hasn’t made any big moves yet (actually, he has made big moves, but we haven’t heard the exact news yet), so the world doesn’t know about it yet.”

"Well... Master Vincent, if this is true... is there any evidence to prove it? You must know the seriousness and gravity of this matter. If the news spreads too quickly, it may cause panic." Chris touched his beard and said in a deep voice.

"Earlier, I had predicted the arrival of this moment through divination with the crystal ball. And just a few days ago, I personally felt the breath brought by the strange phenomena in heaven and earth caused by the breaking of the seal by the Demon Lord. In fact, before coming to your city, I had already visited the Ministry of Magic and met with the minister. I believe that the Ministry of Magic will issue an announcement soon." Vincent replied.

"Oh... I never thought that the Demon Lord actually returned. And I believe... I believe that the Grand Master will definitely not, and there is no need for him to lie to me. So since the Grand Master said so, then this matter is probably almost certain." Chris rubbed his temple, looking a little bad.

"Your Majesty Chris, if necessary, I hope you should put your city on alert as soon as possible, impose martial law, enter a state of combat readiness, and then prepare for possible attacks. No one knows what the Demon Lord will do next and where he will attack. If the Machinery City does not prepare early, when the Demon Lord arrives with his demon army, everything will be too late." Vincent said.

"Well...thank you for the reminder, Master. I will carefully consider your suggestion." Chris sighed, then nodded slowly.

"Your Majesty Chris, time is running out! The sooner the Mechanical City enters a state of alert, the safer it will be. Otherwise, danger may come at any time!" said Vincent.

"Master Vincent... I know everything you said. But you also have to understand that what you are talking about is a city-wide curfew, which is not something that can be done easily. Imposing a city-wide curfew for no reason will cause panic among the people!" said Chris.

"Alas... Your Majesty Chris, I understand your difficulties. However, I am also considering you, your subjects, and your city. The Demon Lord may attack here at any time." Vincent sighed softly and said slowly.

"Master Vincent... why are you so sure that the demons will soon attack our Mechanical City?" Chris said, narrowing his eyes.

"To be honest, Your Majesty Chris, the two of us have been targeted by the Demon Lord." After thinking for a moment, in order to speed up communication efficiency and minimize misunderstandings as much as possible, Vincent decided to tell the truth directly.

"You... have been targeted by the Demon Lord? What does that mean?" Upon hearing this, Chris couldn't help but stand up from his chair and said.

"The Demon Lord is hunting us down." Vincent said calmly. This was a conclusion that could be drawn after a simple deduction, because not long ago, the two of them had sensed the feeling of being spied on by the crystal ball. Besides Vincent, the only person who could skillfully use the crystal ball to spy was probably the Demon Lord. Since the Demon Lord spied on them through the crystal ball, it was self-evident what the demons would do next.

"What?!" Chris couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Your Majesty Chris, please don't be anxious. I will explain the reasons to you in detail." Vincent said to the Dwarf King.

"In fact, we came to the Mechanical City this time to inform you and let you and your city prepare for war. But this is not our main purpose. Our main purpose is to borrow a prop."

"We need the Dwarven Staff."

"Dwarf's holy staff? Why do you need that thing?" Chris frowned and asked after hearing this request.

"Your Majesty Chris, the Demon Lord has broken the seal, and the demons are becoming more and more reckless. The second anti-demon war will begin sooner or later. There is a key item to fight against the Demon Lord, which is currently hidden in the Forbidden Forest Temple near our school. To open the temple, you need the Dwarf Holy Staff as a key."

"Forbidden Forest Temple...Holy Staff Key..." After hearing Vincent's words, the Dwarf King Chris fell into deep thought.

"..."

"This is the dwarf's holy staff." After pondering for a moment, the dwarf king Chris cast a little magic, and the king's scepter in his hand suddenly became bigger and longer, completely changing into a different appearance.

"The Dwarf Holy Staff is a token of my clan and a sacred treasure that guards my Mechanical City. Normally, this holy staff serves as my king's scepter." The Dwarf King Chris said slowly.

"Master Vincent, what you just said... I have some impression of it. In the historical records of my clan, there does seem to be a record of such an event. Five hundred years ago, after the anti-demon war ended, a certain descendant of the ancient gods, I think his name was Mace Garriott, sealed up a treasure of the world. I can't remember the place where it was sealed, but the records do seem to mention that the seal of the sealed place needs to be keyed by the dwarf's holy staff."

"In fact, it's not just our holy staff. You also need the blood-colored holy stone of Twilight City and the relics of the Undead Clan, the Holy Crystal of the Undead. These three holy objects form a complete key to open the seal. Is that right?"

"That's true." Vincent nodded and replied.

"Well... I roughly know it." Chris nodded slightly.

"In fact, Your Majesty Chris, the inheritor of the new generation, the warrior who will face the Demon Lord in the near future, is right in front of you now." Vincent mentioned.

"What...what? You mean, the new generation inheritor of the ancient gods is the young man next to you?!" This time Chris was completely surprised. He looked at Lin Tianlang and said in disbelief.

"Yes, it's him." Vincent nodded. "And, in fact, I am no longer the only gold-level magician in the magic world. The young man next to me is also a gold-level magician."

"This... is incredible!" Chris was full of surprise, and still couldn't believe what Vincent said. As for Lin Tianlang, he felt a little embarrassed. But he didn't lower his head, but raised it high, which was also a recognition of his own identity.

"I never thought that this young man, at such a young age, is already a gold-level magician... The blood of the inheritor is indeed so terrifying!" Chris pondered and nodded to Lin Tianlang. This time, he was no longer looking at a junior, but at a peer, or even a more respectable person.

As a nightmare-like existence, everyone can only flee from the Demon Lord. Only the inheritor can stand up and lead people to blow the horn of counterattack. This is accompanied by huge sacrifices and efforts, which are simply unimaginable for ordinary people. In fact, this is likely to be a road of no return, a road that there is no possibility of turning back once embarked on.

"Master Vincent, and Mr. Warrior, I understand your needs and suggestions. However, the Dwarf Staff is a sacred weapon of our clan after all, and cannot be lent out at will. Please give me a day to consider. Tomorrow, I will give you my answer."

"Your Majesty Chris, please consider this seriously. Because this is not only related to the Mechanical City, but also to the entire magical world." Vincent saluted to Chris and said solemnly.
