Chapter 345: 344

Inside a luxurious, spacious hall, there were ten rows of chairs arranged in ten chairs in a single line, neatly in order, all these seats were filled with different demons wearing the same black attire, with their God Baphomet, white imprint on its back.

However, there were small golden stars, shimmering on each of these black attire notched collars. In the last five rows, demons have two golden stars, the front four rows demons have three golden stars, and the row at the very front has three golden stars and one silver star.

In the very front of these ten rows were five black thrones, and currently, five tall demons were sitting on each of them and giving off an unfathomed feeling. Each wore the same black attire. However, they had five golden stars and one red star!

Two aged demons were sitting on the right side and one middle-aged demon was sitting right in the middle of these five, while the other two were women sitting on the right, both of them were old and appeared to be in their sixties, but their charm was still there despite their wrinkled skins.

All of them were emitting an invisible deadly aura that was proof of their high cultivation.

At this moment, someone stepped inside this grand hall and quickly get on his knees without even a second delay. This was none other than New Moon, a Demon Duke was keening in front of these five demons!

“Harold Wolff greeted Royal Demon Council Elders and Five High-Elders!” New Moon, or Harold’s voice, was filled with respect and reverence.

Everyone inside this hall was clad in that black attire were a Royal Demon Council Elders present in all provinces and five high-elders who managed the Royal Demon Council outside the royal zone!

Simply put, at this moment, the entirety of the Royal Demon Council’s upper echelon was present in this hall!

All of this was for one reason, a… Thief!

“Rise, Harold, I didn’t think I would see you this soon after I granted you your title.” The High-Elder, sitting at the very right, spoke with an amiable tone, giving an elderly smile to Harold.

This old demon’s wrinkled skin was red, and a pair of crimson eyeballs, and curved black horns on his head with short red hair. However, this old demon’s ears were lit by red flames, which were flickering sporadically.

Harold didn’t dare to show any disrespect and quickly replied, “High-Elder Crimson Flame, I also didn’t think I would get another chance to see your exalted self again in this life.”

Harold was telling the truth because these High-Elders didn’t meet just anyone and the common public didn’t even know about their existence. Only when a Demon Duke level Demon appeared did they get the chance to see one of the High Elders, and one could imagine just how rare it was to see all five of them together!

Furthermore, these High-Elders in seniority and rank were even higher than Demon Kings because they were under the direct command of the royal family, and they can contact the Royal Zone at any time, while Demon Kings didn’t have such privileges.

That’s why Harold didn’t dare to show any kind of arrogance here because he knew if any one of these five High-Elder found him an eyesore, even the Mist Demon King behind him will kill him just to please them!

These High-Elders of the Royal Demon Council have this kind of authority or simply put, the royal zone was just too scary for all these demons living outside it!

High Elder, Crimson Flame, just smile amiably. He likes Harold because of his upright character and talent. It was quite to his liking, and that’s why he didn’t want to make things difficult for Harold.

However, this didn’t mean others would have the same thoughts as him, though.

The old woman sitting on the fourth seat spoke impassively at this moment, “We, heard about your entire report about this incident from elder council… that thief or hex master, stole storage rings from over eighteen hundred demons and a demon marquis, and you didn’t even notice, what were you a Demon Duke, doing while all this was happening right under your nose?”

This old demoness had an icy demeanor, her skin was gray while her eyes were brown with the same brown long hair, she had small gray horns and the most eye-catching thing about this woman was a three-centimeter diamond shape black gem embedded right between her eyebrows.

Harold suddenly felt a chill run down in spine when he felt the coldness in this old demoness voice, he didn’t dare to talk back and quickly got on his knees and said, “I, know I have failed my duty as an evaluator and a demon duke, please punish me!”

“Hmph, do you think the punishment is enough for you? From my resources, I found out that you were using a Low-Grade-3 Surveillance Formation, but you still failed to notice that thief, and only when that hateful thief had done the deeds did you notice it… Oh, you didn’t even notice it then as well, it was a victim!” The old demoness sitting at the very left coldly glared and berated Harold.

This fiery old demoness had yellow skin, a pair of silver horns, and long blonde silky hair, and her special trait was her pair of silver and golden eyeballs, giving off the feeling of cold and warm.

Harold sweated heavily at this moment. He knew he would be blamed for this since nothing can hide from these five high elders. They had a vast network of information, and they might’ve already known what has transpired in Iron Demon City before his report.

That might also be the reason they were able to gather together on such short notice from different parts of the continent.

“Now, now, ladies, don’t give little guy such a hard time.” The old demon sitting beside Crimson Flame spoke coolly at this moment, “I, also read the report and investigate it myself as well, it seemed that Hex Master has a very high-level hex for his appearance change, and he could use an unbreakable hex on a soul realm cultivator. However, what I’m not able to comprehend is why his victims remain unharmed despite being affected by those hexes.”

This old demon had a scholarly demeanor. He had light blue skin with a pair of white eyeballs and black long hair sporting a pair of white horns. There was nothing special about him, except for four inches of holes in the center of his palms.

“I agree with brother Dark Hole. That’s what I’m curious about as well, don’t you all find it strange that this Hex Master can easily rob thousands and even hexed them at the same time, but he didn’t attack them or kill them with his hexes and completely leave them alone?

“It also seemed he wanted everyone to know his name, and he’s using those hexes to announce it. Even before this event, this thief had appeared in the Iron Demon City before and done the same kind of stunt with his hexes, placing them on the theft sites. The reason for this entire war was him as well.

“It is just that no one else paid attention to him at that time and thought he was just a petty thief who was after fame. However, now he again appeared and take everyone by surprise, and he also got the fame he wanted. Now everyone knew about him.”

Crimson Flame said with a hint of curiosity in his elderly voice. He had done his homework about Sky Stealer, and he knew this thief didn’t kill anyone and just stole while putting hexes on places he theft.

This fascinated even someone like him because he can’t see through this thief’s motives. After all, no one will be foolish enough to enrage the royal demon council just for fame and attention.

Furthermore, if this thief was a hex master, then using his hexes publicly seemed even more foolish. Either he didn’t know the status of hex masters in the demon race, or he just didn’t care.

“Sigh… it’s useless to debate over it. I have already received the order from the Royal Zone.” At this moment, the middle-aged demon spoke in a grave tone.

This middle-aged demon has an imposing demeanor. His skin was white with a pair of golden eyeballs and short, white hair. His sword-like golden horns were two feet long. The most eye-catching thing about him was his sword-shaped fingers gave off a sharp, chilly feeling.

However, the moment this demon spoke, everyone’s face turn serious when heard Royal Zone. They all knew their order was absolute, and they had to make sure to implore it.

Dark Hole promptly asked, “Brother White Sword, quickly tell us.”

White Sword’s eyes turn sharp as he said, “We should wait for the Blade Demon King, he’s already approaching the assembly hall!”
