Chapter 1285

After hearing this news, Li Yue's face immediately showed a smile; he hurriedly said, "Old man, may I ask, where is the location of that group of Lord Alliance forces now? How many troops do they have? Which Lord do they belong to?"

Having finally heard the news he wanted to hear, Li Yue appeared extremely excited at this moment.

He threw out several questions in a row, and even grabbed the old man's shoulder with his whole body due to the fluctuation of his emotions.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Only after the old man repeatedly shouted "ouch" several times did Li Yue realize that his action had been a tiny bit too heavy.

He hurriedly released his hand, stepped back half a pace, and looked at the old man beside him.

"I am truly sorry; I was a bit too excited just now. Did I hurt you?" Li Yue apologized sincerely.

The old man waved his hand: "It's fine, it's fine! Young man, you are an interesting young man. If possible, I hope you won't have such excited displays in the future. If something unfortunate happens, I will have to say goodbye to the human world, and that would be a pity."

"Old man, I understand. I am sorry; just now it was indeed because my emotions were too excited."

Saying this, Li Yue hurriedly asked in return, "By the way, old man, can you tell me the questions I just asked?"

When Li Yue said this sentence, his tone was filled with anxiety.

The old man, however, gently shook his head and said, "Sorry, I cannot!"

"Cannot? Why? Do you not want to tell me?" Li Yue was stunned and hurriedly asked.

The old man, however, smiled and said, "You are a smart young man; since that is the case, you should clearly know that I am just a merchant. How would I know such things? Moreover, I dare not inquire. If the Lord Alliance forces mistake me for a spy and arrest me, what should I do?"

Li Yue nodded, secretly cursing himself for being confused; he had not thought of this aspect just now. It seemed he still needed to find other methods.

Immediately, he spoke to the old man again and asked, "Old man, may I request one more thing from you?"

"Speak."

"I want to know where the location is where you encountered the Lord's army," Li Yue said. "I have something very important; I am looking for the Lord Alliance forces. If you are willing to help me with this favor, I will thank you."

Hearing Li Yue's words, the old man immediately laughed and said, "Young man, there is no need for thanks or not thanks. Coincidentally, we are preparing to set off for the neighboring territory right now. If you do not mind, let us travel together."

"Together?" Li Yue frowned and asked, "How long will it take to arrive?"

"At the slowest, it takes half a month; at the fastest, it takes seven days," the old man replied with a chuckle.

"Seven days?" Li Yue immediately gently shook his head: "No, seven days is too long; it is simply not enough time. You might as well tell me the location; I will go by myself."

Hearing Li Yue's answer, the old man immediately laughed and said, "Young man, you are not being friendly, are you? I already said I am willing to take you there. Even if you are anxious, there is no need to be anxious for this Yishiban Society time, right?"

"Moreover, even if I told you, what would happen? Could you suddenly 'whoosh' over there? You must know that the road is Full of dangers, with countless demonic beasts. Even worse, if you have bad luck, you might encounter the Demon Clan's scouts; at that time, what can you do alone?"

The old man spoke with earnest advice, and his words were entirely filled with concern.

Fortunately, at this time, Ireland Besp beside him spoke up.

"Uncle, just tell him. His speed is very fast; you don't need to worry at all," Ireland Besp said.

Hearing this, the old man immediately sighed.

He said, "Young man, I know you want to go find the Lord's main army, but now you must first consider your own safety. There is a distance between here and the location of the neighboring Lord's main army. If you walk a bit faster, you can arrive in five or six days. But if you walk a bit slower, I am afraid you will encounter danger."

Then, he took out a map from the side, raised his hand, and pointed at the ground, saying, "This is where we are now."

The old man then moved his finger on the map, finally landing on another spot.

"And this is the place you are looking for."

While speaking, he specifically indicated a direction.

Li Yue's gaze followed the direction the old man pointed, and he nodded: "Okay, thank you for the reminder, old man."

"It's fine. You only need to know one thing, which is that there is a swamp on this journey. The swamp is very dangerous. If possible, you should take a detour around it," the old man said seriously.

Hearing the old man say this, Li Yue nodded to indicate he remembered, then said, "Old man, thank you for now."

"You're welcome," the old man shook his head.

At this moment, Li Yue's gaze turned to the girl beside him.

He asked, "Besp, what about you!? What do you plan to do next?"

Ireland Besp shrugged and waved her hand: "Me? What plan could I possibly have? Of course, I will go back where I came from. Anyway, now that you already know where to go next, you don't need me to see you off."

While speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave; when leaving, she did not forget to wave her hand.

"Li Yue, let's meet again when fate allows."

Li Yue watched her retreating back and helplessly smiled bitterly. "Really!"

After complaining that one sentence, without any hesitation, Li Yue directly jogged to Besp's front.

Ireland Besp looked at Li Yue's behavior and action, asking curiously, "Why are you stopping me? Don't tell me you still want me to guide you? I'll say it beforehand; I really don't recognize the road ahead. Moreover, if I go, how will I come back? Grandpa is still waiting for me at home!"

Hearing her say this, Li Yue let out a "pfft" and laughed. "Really, you have a Suowu Society misunderstanding! Let me send you back instead!"

"You...?" Ireland Besp raised her hand, pointed at Li Yue, and asked with a bit of disbelief: "You send me back? What kind of joke is that?" "No joke. You also know my speed is very fast; it won't take much time to go and come back."

Speaking to this point, Li Yue paused for a moment, then said seriously: "Moreover, you are my savior. If something goes wrong halfway, I would be letting you down."
