Chapter 129 The Eredar Twins: Yes, we're panicking.
"No need." Under Manolos's somewhat incredulous gaze, Bai Ye extended three fingers and directly pinched Manolos's double-headed greatsword, which was stained with the blood of countless powerful beings.
"My lord?" Manolos looked at Bai Ye with a puzzled expression.
"There's no need to rush into action against them. Since they dared to come and urge us at this time, they should know what they should do and when." As a true guest, Bai Ye spoke up to advise Manolos.
"Yes." Manolos casually put the double-headed greatsword into his spatial bag.
As Archimonde's most trusted and most valiant vanguard commander, who led his legions to destroy so many worlds, Mannoroth certainly couldn't have come away empty-handed.
For example, the spatial bag he carries now is a spoil of war from the legion's invasion of a world with magic and martial arts...
Upon opening the door, Bai Ye saw two figures standing outside.
This image... the Eredar twins?
"who are you?"
"No fel energy reaction, so it's not a demon?"
"Hmph, you two get out of the way!" Manolos rudely squeezed between the twins, shoving them aside, and then looked respectfully at Bai Ye: "My lord, I contacted the master when I returned. This way, please."
Bai Ye nodded and followed.
The twins, who had been pushed aside, stared at Bai Ye's back with a puzzled look... When did that big oaf Manolos become so well-behaved, actually calling someone other than the three adults "adult"?
Most importantly, the adult he was talking about wasn't a demon!
For some reason, a vague unease arose in the hearts of the Geminis.
If Bai Ye really did beat Manolos into begging for mercy, then wouldn't the two of them have just been tricked by those two big guys?
Emmmmm......
This is alarming, and a very serious problem.
……
On the other side, after walking a distance with Bai Ye, Mannoroth indeed began to sow discord between the twins, nagging about how the twins occupied the position of Egg's lieutenant all day long but rarely went to the battlefield, only knew how to do some underhanded things, and often plotted against him and the warriors of the Burning Legion in secret.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye really wanted to complain. Even if the twins really did have the mission of destroying the Scourge Legion as you said, what did that have to do with him, an outsider?
"Not there yet?" Seeing that Manolos looked like he could go on and on for tens of thousands of years, Bai Ye frowned slightly and interrupted him.
“It’s just ahead,” Manolos said, pointing to a tall door in front of him.
Upon entering the room, Bai Ye saw two extremely tall figures that would be considered very large by ordinary people.
"So you're the human Mannoroth spoke of, the one who could bring us directly into Azeroth without using a protective barrier?"
"Hmm..." Bai Ye nodded.
Using the Dimensional Shop as a transit point and the coordinates he left in Karazhan, it wouldn't be a problem to bring a few people there. However, if they wanted to bring the Burning Legion there using this method, then Bai Ye could only say that they were dreaming.
Putting aside the question of how much Origin Coins would be needed for the journey of so many demons, even if Egg and Ak could actually come up with that many Origin Coins, Bai Ye probably wouldn't agree—
He didn't want his home to be turned into a mess by those demons who came and went.
"Manolos, you go out first, I'll talk to the two of them."
Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Manolos looked at Archimonde.
"Get out, get out. Just stand at the door. I have something to ask you later." Archimonde's voice, complete with its own background music, rang out.
"Yes." Hearing his master's order, he turned and left.
Almost the instant the door closed, Manolos and the twins observing from the other side of the passage could feel two extremely powerful auras leaking out through the gap that was not yet closed.
Although the door was quickly and completely closed, preventing the aura from leaking out, all three were certain that what they had just witnessed was not an illusion. That was the performance of Kil'jaeden and Archimonde, who had used at least 80% of their strength!
"like……"
"Something big is about to happen..."
Looking at Mannoroth, who stood proudly at the door, clearly having done something to please the two lords, the twins felt a slight pain in their breasts... If they had known this would happen, they would have let that idiot Mannoroth steal the opportunity when the two lords said they wanted to find a high-ranking lord to check on the variable that Lord Sargeras had pointed out!
……
Meanwhile, inside the room, Kil'jaeden and Archimonde were somewhat surprised to see White Night remain calm and composed despite their imposing presence.
Accepting all their pressure with a smile and then unleashing your own power to fight them both to a standstill are two completely different concepts.
The latter had encountered several times during their conquests of the Burning Legion, even within the barrier of Azeroth, but the former…
Does their current leader, Sargeras, count?
Just to be on the safe side, the two exchanged a glance, then pretended nothing had happened, withdrew their imposing aura, and gave Bai Ye what they thought was a friendly expression.
"Give me your terms. As long as you can lead the Legion into Azeroth, you can name whatever you want."
“If this is your requirement, then I’m afraid I can’t help you.” Bai Ye shook his head: “My method is only suitable for bringing a small number of people into Azeroth. Although I don’t know exactly how many troops the Burning Legion has, the number of people on this ship alone has already exceeded the limit that I can accept.”
"..." x2
"What is the upper limit that you can accept?"
"At most... within a hundred, I guess?" Bai Ye stroked his chin. "To be honest, I don't recommend that you enter Azeroth before Sargeras returns. It's not that I look down on you... you experienced the War of the Ancients, and although it has undergone tens of thousands of years of changes, even now, can you two guarantee that you can take Azeroth by personally taking action?"
“You don’t need to worry about that.” Kil’jaeden opened his mouth, drool dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound: “If it weren’t for… hehehe…”
Chapter 130 The Twins Given Away as a Free Gift
Although Bai Ye really wanted to learn the details of the War of the Ancients from Kil'jaeden or Archimonde, the two involved parties, they tacitly stopped there. No matter how Bai Ye hinted afterward, they just glossed over the matter with various nonsense.
Having understood what the two meant, Bai Ye didn't delve any further, since the place he had traveled to was Gensokyo, and Azeroth was just an incidental part of it.
It has to be said that even if they could return to the Twisting Nether to be resurrected, both Kil'jaeden and Archimonde still valued their lives very much... After all, just because they can't die doesn't mean they can't be sealed away!
Since Bai Ye wouldn't let them move the entire Burning Legion there, the strategy of mass-producing troops by exploiting the fact that demons who die outside the Twisting Nether will return to the Twisting Nether to resurrect would no longer work. So the two of them unanimously decided... whatever, they were definitely not going to get involved themselves anyway.
Sending a few mediocre lords to help the orcs who are being remotely controlled by Kil'jaeden would be more appropriate.
After chatting with the two demons for a while, agreeing that once the selection was made, Mannoroth, the exclusive liaison between the Burning Legion and the Dimensional Shop, would lead the group to the Dimensional Shop, Bai Ye then left.
At least on the surface, he, Egg, and Ak got along quite well—unless, the two of them planned to sell some spells, only to find that all the spells they knew had already been sold off by some unknown, hidden sage.
After Bai Ye left, Archimonde immediately called Manolos, who had been waiting at the door, inside.
"Master, do you have any orders?"
"I called you just to ask... how much do you know about that place called Dimensional Shop?"
"Um...what specific aspect does Master want to ask about?"
“All of them!” Archimonde said matter-of-factly.
"..."
"Forget about what we said before. We just want to know if that place is real and what the shopkeeper is capable of." Kil'jaeden chuckled, dismissing Archimonde's unrealistic claim, and then posed a question to Mannoroth that was still within his capabilities.
Manolos finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about that person's strength. But the second time I went, she wasn't there; I was received by one of her attendants or something. I felt that if it really came down to a fight, I probably wouldn't be a match for her. And yet, someone with that kind of fighting ability was only kept in the shop to do chores like cleaning... Oh, and across from that shop, there's another woman who gives me a very dangerous feeling. I don't think even the woman I saw ten thousand years ago named Azshara would be a match for her..."
"You just mentioned two...hers?" Kil'jaeden asked thoughtfully. "So, the two people who are close to the shopkeeper are both women?"
"Ah."
"I knew it! How could there possibly be a truly perfect person in the world? The Seven Deadly Sins don't just apply to demons; they apply to other races too... Hehehe..."
This time, Archimonde finally couldn't hold back and slapped Kil'jaeden across the face: "Hehehe, what the hell are you 'hehehe'ing about? Can't you speak properly?"
"You hit me?" Kil'jaeden's face instantly darkened.
"So what if I hit you?"
"Die, you bastard! You're good for nothing but causing trouble! I've had enough of you!" Kil'jaeden leaped out of the lava and tackled Archimonde, followed by the loud thuds of muscles colliding.
Manolos: "..."
Seeing these two big shots bickering so unceremoniously, I hope I won't be silenced.
……
Half a day later, White Night, who was chatting with Jeanne Alter, saw Mannoroth arriving with a group of Dreadlords and Eredar warlocks.
"that's it?"
“Yes.” Mannoroth nodded. “According to Lord Kil’jaeden, it is almost impossible for the Legion to break through the protective barrier and enter Azeroth. And as you said, the power of Azeroth itself should not be underestimated. Therefore, the two lords sent some lords who are not easily detected or who can help their existing pawns.”
Looking at the rice bowl in Bai Ye's hand, and then at the demons that filled the room to the brim, Manolos was really worried that Bai Ye might get angry and kill these lords right here.
Fortunately, as a competent businessman, Bai Ye still possessed this much integrity.
After giving Jeanne Alter an apologetic smile, Bai Ye returned to Azeroth and repositioned the coordinates to a location neither too close nor too far from Karazhan before returning to the Dimensional Shop and signaling Mannoroth to lead the demon lords to follow.
After passing through the portal and finding themselves indeed inside Azeroth, no longer blocked outside the barrier, Mannoroth led the way in a roar to the heavens…
I finally got in!!!
It seems that a detailed plan for each demon was already in place before they entered. After discovering that they had actually entered Azeroth, the warlocks formed a group and headed towards the orcish tribe that Bai Ye had previously scouted, while each of the dreadlords chose a different direction from their kin.
After the lords had all left, Bai Ye looked at Manolos, who was still standing there, with a strange expression: "Aren't you going to stay with them?"
“I don’t think the beings of Azeroth would choose to fight me one-on-one, so until the main force of the Legion arrives, my task is still to maintain communication between the Legion and you, my lord.” Mannoroth smiled awkwardly.
Although his combat prowess wasn't bad within the Burning Legion, being surrounded by a bunch of guys only slightly weaker than him meant he was doomed to be overwhelmed. Not to mention, there were several beings in Azeroth stronger than him, and he might not even be able to defeat them in a one-on-one fight...
Who says that an Abyss Lord who relies on his strength can't follow his heart?
Don't let his double-edged sword fool you; he's actually quite skilled in dark magic!
Upon returning to the Dimensional Shop, Bai Ye noticed that the atmosphere there was rather strange...
There were quite a few demons here before, so it was easy to hide in the crowd and not be easily discovered. But now that the Eredar warlocks and dreadlords have left, the two girls, dressed and acting all sexy, have successfully attracted all of Jeanne Alter's firepower.
"Why are those two here?" Bai Ye's brows twitched upon seeing this, and he grabbed Manolos, who was sneaking towards the teleportation portal.
Manolos's large face was smiling rather ambiguously, completely unaware that Jeanne Alter's anger gauge was almost full: "This is a decision made jointly by the two of you. From the moment they entered here, their ownership belongs to you. What is on the table is a wisp of their soul. You can decide their life or death with a single thought, my lord."
Sensing a master-servant contract forming between himself and the twins, Bai Ye remained silent...
Sure enough, one's status within the Burning Legion is simply a matter of a word from the three leaders; Eggman can even sell his lieutenant without hesitation.
Before he could even ask Egg and Akula what they were planning to do with the twins, Mannoroth was swept into the portal by Jeanne Alter's flag. The World Destroyer Witch said she felt annoyed just seeing this pimp now.
Chapter 131 Although I wear heavy armor and wield a greatsword, I am a talent in education.
There's no doubt that Jeanne Alter was very unwelcoming to the twins' arrival; the twins could tell from her expression when the lords left, leaving the two of them alone in the shop. However, what surprised them was...
How could Bai Ye, a grown man, not feel anything for them?!
What happened to Bai Ye being a hidden "woman-obsessed" patient?
Watching Bai Ye casually toss two sets of clothes to them and then have them take care of cleaning and other miscellaneous tasks in the store, and also greet customers with a smile and a "Welcome!" for the first time, Gemini felt that her former boss's reputation as a fraudster was really that despicable...
"Where did you get these two from?" Passing by by chance, Mokou noticed that there were two more maids dressed in maid outfits in Byakuya's shop. On the other hand, Jeanne Alter, who had been dressed in the same elegant outfit a long time ago, was now clumsily playing on the computer under Byakuya's guidance, wearing loose casual clothes. This time, Mokou couldn't help but ask.
Wait, why did she say "again"?
"You mean those two?" Bai Ye glanced at the twins, whose smile seemed a bit forced. "What would you say if I told you I got them as a prize in a raffle when I was buying soy sauce at that shop on the street...?"
"Uncle Miki?"
white night:"……"
You actually believed it?
"No, who are you trying to fool? Even I can see that these two are not simple, okay? How could they be given away for free!" Realizing that she had been tricked, Mokou put her hands on her hips and looked at the two lewd men and women behind the counter with displeasure.
"Their background doesn't really matter, does it? I guarantee they won't leave this door unless there are special circumstances... Besides, don't you think having a pair of sisters in the shop would attract more customers?"
"guest……"
Mokou glanced at the four pots of sunflowers displayed at the entrance of the White Nightclub, then at the green-haired great youkai in the sunflower shop across the street, who was leaning on his chin, seemingly lost in thought. Mokou's eyebrows twitched slightly.
With your environment, even if you added ten more pairs of sisters, let alone one pair of sisters, there wouldn't be any new customers looking for excitement here, right?
Now, even when she passes by the store, she worries that those four sunflowers might suddenly open their mouths and swallow her whole!
"These things don't really matter. Speaking of which, haven't you rarely come here since all the residents on this street moved away? What brings you here today?"
