No way,\" Elena protested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren found it hard to believe as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're just pulling our leg, aren't you?\" Princess Lorelai commented and whacked Nori's head. \"Don't lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm . . .\" Evie furrowed her brow and crossed her arms in contemplation. \"If what she said is true, then . . . how are we going to find Salister Kane?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Salister?\" Nori asked. \"Are you searching for someone with that name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Lorelai sighed. \"That's right. You didn't stumble upon that evil demon, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nori shook her head. \"No, I don't know any demon by that name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then . . . how about Solomon Krane?\" Ren asked, saying Salister's true name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nori paused, her eyes widening, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the words that were about to escape her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Nori let out a breath, sounding like a deflating balloon. \"Nope. I don't remember hearing that name, although it does sound familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Lorelai smacked Nori's head in frustration. \"Don't get our hopes up for nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled up in Nori's eyes as she rubbed the growing lump on her head. \"B-but maybe the elders in my village knew. Those grannies are more than centuries old, so they definitely know a thing or two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yosh! Then let's speed up ahead! To your Village!\" Princess Lorelai declared, brandishing her sword forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch where you swing that big thing,\" Elena deadpanned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone was chatting, Ren stood silently at the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he wasn't worried about not finding Salister. His plan was to search for Vanadon-Necroth's lair in the first place and obtain those recipes ASAP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything else would follow once he settled Evie's debt. Finding Vanadon-Necroth's lair was his top priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, now that we're still traveling for a day, I think it's time for you to tell us who this Voraxa is,\" Princess Lorelai suddenly interjected, abruptly changing the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evie shot her a sideways glance. \"Still not over it, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Lorelai widened her eyes at them. \"Aren't you guys curious as well? She's been mentioning Voraxa this and that, and I'm not a fan of suspense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'You're not exactly a fan of being patient either,' Ren mused to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of Voraxa, Nori's face turned somber, and fury flickered in her eyes. \"I don't know where to begin. The best person to explain would probably be the elders––gurgh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nori's words caught in her throat when Princess Lorelai gripped her with her hands, choking the words out of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me now, or I'll get the information from your severed head,\" Princess Lorelai threatened, her voice icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoi.\" Elena slapped Princess Lorelai's hands away from Nori, who quickly retreated behind her savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be so harsh on a child,\" Elena scolded, her tone firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Child? That devil is a hundred years old. She's practically a granny,\" Princess Lorelai retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena rolled her eyes and patted Nori's back reassuringly. \"There, there. Don't mind that grumpy lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nori nodded, wiping her tears and snot on her sleeve before Elena suddenly grabbed her shoulder, her smile teetering on the edge of a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will tell us who Voraxa is, won't you?\" Elena said, her tone leaving no room for refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eegh!\" Nori couldn't do anything but scream while the two tortured her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren and Evie released a weary sigh as they watched the scene unfold before them, feeling a mixture of amusement and exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright. I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything I know. Just please, don't hurt me!\" Nori pleaded, her voice laced with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better not skip any details,\" Princess Lorelai said, settling comfortably and slipping another piece of meat into her mouth as she began to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Nori had regained her composure, she started explaining about Voraxa. \"Voraxa is one of the seven warlords of the Netherworld. I don't have all the specifics, but they used to be generals under the late Netherworld King, Obsidian X.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In his era, the Netherworld knew a long period of peace. The realm was governed peacefully for over a thousand years until the king's demise. After his death, the seven warlords took control and became the new rulers of the underground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peace . . . ?\" Evie echoed, a hint of disbelief in her voice. \"I'm surprised demons even comprehend that concept.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think demons and devils are?!\" Nori shouted at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flesh eaters,\" Evie replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deceptive and manipulative,\" Ren chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A menace,\" Princess Lorelai added with a resolute nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just plain ugly,\" Elena finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nori's mouth dropped open in astonishment and exasperation. She was about to unleash her frustration when she realized it would only be a futile effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a resigned sigh, she collected herself and addressed the group, \"You guys . . . not all demons and devils are evil, you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait . . .\" Elena interjected, her brow furrowing in confusion. \"He was a protector before, and now he's turned into an oppressor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nori nodded solemnly. \"Exactly. The seven warlords weren't always like this. Something within them changed after the passing of the previous king. They underwent a transformation that struck fear even into the hearts of their fellow underworld inhabitants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's as if the loss of their former ruler triggered a dark side within them, leading to their descent into tyranny and oppression. The Netherworld, once a realm of relative peace, had become a place where they ruled with an iron fist, using fear to maintain their dominance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that right?\" Princess Lorelai thought for a moment, crossing her arms in contemplation. Then, with unwavering determination, she declared, \"Then I will defeat these warlords for you and bring peace back in this godless world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren swiftly whacked her on the head. \"We don't have time for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ren's absolutely right,\" Elena chimed in. \"We're here on a mission, not to save the Netherworld. Besides, even if we kill those warlords, new ones would just replace them. It's an endless cycle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. That's right. Therefore, the optimal solution would be to reinstate the former king to the throne.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. That's right,\" Nori nodded in agreement, the others acknowledging that it was indeed the most logical solution. Having that king who reigned in peace sit on the throne was a better choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They paused, turning their attention towards that unfamiliar voice that had suddenly interrupted their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Off to the side, they spotted a boy sitting cross-legged near Tiki's tail with a big smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo!\" he greeted cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>",1100,"2026-06-09T06:03:36.371Z",1,"novelbin.me","79b564db2683907963db41b95687fed0644b9e15dd2a916e662d920aaafce1bd","mmorpg-rebirth-as-an-alchemist-chapter-694","mmorpg-rebirth-as-an-alchemist-chapter-692",910,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmmorpg-rebirth-as-an-alchemist-cover.jpg"]
