Zhang Ze pondered Qioniya's words carefully and thought to himself: "The so-called oracles should refer to us adventurers, right?"
"Those kind-hearted adventurers will naturally not mess around. They will abide by the rules of the demon world and find the stone gate through normal methods and means. Just like us, sometimes we will help people in this world to eliminate violence and make peace."
"And some adventurers with bad conduct will use any means, and even massacre the residents of this world! Therefore, such people will bring disaster to the Demonic World."
Thinking of this, Zhang Ze reiterated to the other party: "Don't worry, I'm not here to destroy this world. I just want to find Shimen and leave here. It's that simple."
Zhang Ze and the others came to this world for the first time and were unfamiliar with the place. They needed someone to guide them. If they could have a good relationship with the people here, it would be of great help to them.
Moreover, Zhang Ze and the others are not the kind of evil and cruel people who like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so it is necessary to make a statement in advance to dispel the other party's concerns, so that both parties can cooperate better.
Joania looked into Zhang Ze's eyes and saw that his eyes were calm and without any dodge. She was sure that Zhang Ze was not lying.
"Well, I believe in your promise."
Joania nodded and said to Zhang Ze: "Now, please come to the forest camp with us, and let's talk about the next cooperation."
Since the other party mentioned cooperation, Zhang Ze was sure that the other party should know the whereabouts of the stone gate.
So, Zhang Ze followed Prince Edward and his party back to the camp. The Guards soldiers in the camp couldn't help but look surprised when they saw Zhang Ze return. Prince Edward, Knight Commander Elliot and others were very respectful to him.
"What happened? Why did the prince invite him back?"
"Looking at the attitude of the prince and the knight commander towards Rakshasa, could it be that he has done something extraordinary?"
"I don't know. Maybe the prince will give us an answer."
…
In full view of everyone, Zhang Ze was invited into the prince's camp.
Zhang Ze felt very dramatic. Less than two hours after he was kicked out of the Guards, he was invited back again.
Ju Shen, Liu Yueying and others had already been notified by Zhang Ze. They made eye contact throughout the whole process and did not come forward to deal with him.
After all, Zhang Ze still doesn't know what kind of person this person named Qiao Yani is. If it is indeed reliable, he will let his companion show up.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, Zhang Ze got straight to the point: "Now, can you tell me about Shimen?"
Elliot and the prince all looked at Joanne.
"I once saw an ancient book in the library of the Mages Guild, which contained records about the stone gate..."
After hearing Qiao Yani's words, Zhang Ze asked: "Where is the Shimen?"
"This..." Joanne paused, shook her head and said, "The stone gate is not anywhere."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Ze looked surprised, and then Qiao Yani explained: "The stone gate is a spell."
"It is recorded in ancient books that after the oracle recites a spell, a stone door leading to another world will appear."
Zhang Ze was stunned and thought to himself: "The stone gate in this demonic realm has become a spell again? It's really ever-changing!"
"Then there's no need to guess. The key to clearing the level is most likely also a spell, right?"
He asked: "So, do you know what the spell is?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know, but I think I can help you investigate this matter."
Joanne looked serious: "Go find the author of this ancient book."
Doctor Beth interjected from the side: "But, Godmother, the author of the ancient book should have been dead long ago, right?"
"Yes, but it doesn't matter." Joanne said: "I can go to the archives to retrieve the writer's relics, and talk to him through the soul fragments remaining on the relics. Maybe I can gain something."
Zhang Ze asked: "So, how long will it take to get the results?"
"Please give me a week." Joanne apologized: "I need to apply to my superiors, and the efficiency of the Mages Guild is too low."
"Okay." Zhang Ze nodded, there was no point in being anxious about this kind of thing.
And he also understands that the Demon Realm will not let you pass the level casually, you must go through a lot of hardships.
So he took the initiative and asked: "So, what do you need me to do? Help the prince ascend to the throne?"
"Haha, Lord Rakshasa understands the righteousness so well, it saves me the trouble of talking." Joanne smiled and nodded.
"Actually, I should have done this kind of thing. After all, I am Prince Edward's godmother."
"However, the royal family and the Mages Guild are inextricably linked. If I intervene in the royal dispute, it will cause a lot of trouble."
"So, I can only help the prince secretly, but then I can't be around to protect him all the time."
A look of worry appeared on Jonya's face: "The queen is a ruthless person who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. I am very worried about the prince's safety."
She looked at Zhang Ze: "If you can stay with the prince, protect him, and assist him, I believe you can help the prince defeat the queen's group and ascend to the throne."
Zhang Ze now understood that this was probably the condition for clearing this level of demon realm, so he nodded in agreement.
"I agree, but I have a request."
"Please speak!" Joanne asked quickly.
Zhang Ze said: "I can't stay in this world for too long. I hope you can find the spell of Shimen soon."
"This is natural!" Joanne said with a serious expression, "I will definitely not delay your business."
"Very good, there is one more thing. You can let me help, but I hope the prince can obey my arrangements. I don't like to be ordered around!" Zhang Ze glanced at Knight Commander Elliot. He had nothing to do with this man. Good impression.
Joania looked at Prince Edward: "Your Highness, I think Mr. Rakshasa is a reliable person. Do you agree to his request?"
Seeing that his always trusted godmother said this, Prince Edward naturally would not object: "I agree to the request of Lord Rakshasa."
Now that the matter has been settled, Joanne is ready to return to the Mages Guild.
"No one knows that I came out this time." Jonja sighed helplessly and said, "The queen also has spies in the Mages Guild, and my identity is very special, so I am closely watched."
She said sincerely to Zhang Ze: "I'll leave it to you, Your Excellency, to deal with His Highness the Prince."
Zhang Ze also made a promise: "Don't worry, I will protect his safety."
Joania nodded, and before leaving, she pulled Prince Edward aside to talk alone.
"Your Highness, the Oracle appears beside us. I think this is a good omen!"
She said earnestly: "The queen is very powerful. You and I alone cannot bring her down. We need strong foreign aid."
"I can't tell the strength of Rakshasa, but I guess it may be above me, or even on par with the guild leader!"
Edward looked surprised: "Is this true? Rakshasa is so strong?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid he alone can't defeat the queen. You will also need to rely on the strength of others."
Jonia whispered a few words in his ear. The prince's expression changed again and again, and finally he nodded: "I understand, Lord Godmother!"
"Believe in yourself!" Joania sighed slightly and said, "The fate of this country depends on you!"
After watching Joania leave, Zhang Ze, Prince Edward and Elliot returned to the camp to discuss the next thing.
"Your Highness, I would like to know something about your enemy, the queen."
Zhang Ze made a request: "Only by knowing more about the enemy can I be sure to defeat her."
"Okay." Prince Edward took a deep breath and began to talk about his grudges with the queen.
"Before talking about my evil stepmother, Sigrid, let me tell you about my life experience."
"My father was once a warrior. He led the people to drive away the invading enemies. Because the king at that time had died in battle, he was elected as the new king by the people."
"Under his rule, our kingdom prospered. The surrounding countries did not dare to invade, and they sent people to form friendly alliances with us. That period was the most prosperous period of the kingdom."
Speaking of this, Prince Edward looked proud. His father is the eternal hero in his heart.
"My mother is an ordinary commoner's daughter. My father met her during a private visit in disguise. The two of them fell in love. I don't need to say more about what happened after that. My mother became the queen."
"Unfortunately, she died in childbirth when I was born, which made my father very painful."
After a pause, the prince said: "At this time, Sigrid appeared in front of my father. She is a princess from a neighboring country and married to my father because of a political marriage."
"Sigrid appears dignified and virtuous, but her true identity is a wizard!"
Prince Edward clenched his fists and said angrily: "She used witchcraft to charm my father, making him lose his mind and only listen to her words."
"From then on, she took control of the government and began to rule in darkness, making the people of the kingdom miserable."
"At that time, my godmother and I both discovered the abnormality of our father, but we were unable to do anything because the queen did not allow us to approach our father."
"Later, we united with several ministers and asked to see the father. Unexpectedly, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, this vicious woman secretly poisoned the father and then announced that the father had died of illness!"
"She even took it upon herself to cremate her father's body and destroy all traces of it without anyone witnessing it!"
Zhang Ze frowned when he heard this: "Although she is a queen, this kind of behavior is too arrogant. Isn't she afraid that you will force her?"
Edward smiled bitterly and said: "She is very thoughtful. Before murdering her father, she had already colluded with Gordon, the general who commanded the country's troops. At the same time, she also had an ambiguous relationship with Willy, the vice president of the Mages Guild. These two people are... She holds her back and no one can touch her!”
"Also, in name, she is still a queen, so there must be enough evidence to convict her."
"In the end, we had no choice but to swallow her anger and secretly collect documents."
"Who knew, Sigrid made the first move? She deliberately framed me, saying that I was the culprit who poisoned my father! And Gordon, who was already prepared, led people into the palace to arrest me. Fortunately, Elliot The Knight Commander protected me from the siege, and the Godmother used magic to help us escape from the palace."
"Afterwards, I thought I would go into exile. Unexpectedly, Sigrid used a new trick. She announced to the public that I was young and ignorant and had done something wrong. Although the crime was serious, I was pardoned but deprived of my guilt. took away my right to be the heir to the throne and relegated me to this remote, cold, icy territory.”
Prince Edward sneered: "This woman really knows how to play with people's hearts. In this way, everyone thinks she is kind and can forgive a person who killed his father with his own hands!"
"Suddenly, her reputation reached its peak, and I became despised by thousands of people!"
Zhang Ze thought to himself: "This Sigrid is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp! This palace fight is very clever!"
"But I won't give in!"
Prince Edward clenched his fists and said: "I must avenge my father's revenge! I must also take back my throne!"
Zhang Ze nodded and said: "So, we have three enemies in total, Queen Sigrid, General Gordon and Vice President of the Mages Guild Willy."
"Now, if we want to touch Sigrid, we must deal with these two people."
He looked at Edward and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any plans?"
Edward said to Eliot: "Elliot, tell me."
"Okay, Your Highness!"
Elliot stepped forward and said with a serious expression: "Our plan is to deal with General Gordon first, because he holds military power and can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. He is the biggest threat!"
"If we get rid of him, we can have enough troops to besiege the royal capital and force Sigrid to admit her crime..."
Zhang Ze shook his head: "This is impossible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three princes were stunned.
"Why is it impossible?" Knight Elliot asked angrily.
In his eyes, Zhang Ze is still the young boy, and he has not yet accepted Zhang Ze's new identity.
"Sigrid is a wizard. She has a way to escape from the chaos." Zhang Ze explained slowly: "Furthermore, judging from what you said before, this queen will not sit still and wait for death, let alone Give up easily."
"I guess she must have prepared several plans to deal with you, so I'm afraid your trick of forcing you to have a baby won't work."
"Hmph! Then, Sir Rakshasa, what do you have to say?" Elliot was so angry that he blew his beard.
Zhang Ze ignored him and turned to ask Prince Edward: "Your Highness, which country is Sigrid a princess?"
"It's the Blackstone Kingdom." Edward asked curiously: "Why do you ask this?"
Zhang Ze smiled and said: "Since Sigrid has occupied your kingdom, then we will retaliate and occupy her country!"
"ah?"
The three people present were shocked!
"Lord Rakshasa, are you serious?" Dr. Beth couldn't help but say: "Although the Blackstone Kingdom is not strong, it is not weak. There are tens of thousands of troops! We only have a few hundred people, how can we fight against it? "
Knight Commander Elliot looked contemptuous: "What a stupid idea! If we do this, we will be directly destroyed by the Blackstone Kingdom's army without Sigrid taking action!"
Zhang Ze, however, looked calm and calmly picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly.
After Prince Edward was silent for a moment, he suddenly said: "Elliot, Beth... I think Lord Rakshasa's method is feasible!"
