Chapter 025: Summoning the Demon God

Wang Bo originally wanted to arrange a meeting with Dr. Bravestone in a timeline and then send him back, but Dr. Bravestone waved his hand and decisively refused.

"My matters are not urgent for now. I plan to send Lady Yui and Asuna back first, then return to my own world."

Wang Bo looked at Dr. Bravestone's serious expression and immediately understood. The three were all travelers, sharing a common plight, and might have already formed deep bonds and friendships in the game Oasis.

So it was not hard to understand why Dr. Bravestone wanted to send Yui and Asuna off first.

Wang Bo did not refuse and agreed instead. "Alright, then please wait a moment, Dr. Bravestone. Once I resolve the matters of Yui and Asuna, I will send you home."

Dr. Bravestone nodded firmly.

Yui said, "My matters are not urgent either. Let's send Asuna back first."

Asuna seemed about to say something, but after a few words of comfort from Yui, she obediently nodded and agreed.

Just then, Anorak transformed back into James Halliday, clapped his hands, and said, "Wonderful. Lady Yui, Miss Asuna, and Dr. Bravestone, soon you will all be able to return safely to your respective worlds. I congratulate you here."

The three expressed their gratitude to James Halliday. Without his help, they were unsure what might have happened to them.

Thus, all three were very grateful to James Halliday.

James Halliday smiled slightly, accepted their thanks, and couldn't help asking, "So, what are your plans next?"

Wang Bo said, "Communicating between two game worlds is not easy. I can't give an exact time, but I will do my best to accomplish it. Before that, I plan to enjoy this game thoroughly."

Asuna's eyes lit up, and she invited Wang Bo, "If Lord Wang Bo doesn't mind, how about teaming up with us? We are on a very difficult quest. With your help, we can surely complete it."

"What quest?" Wang Bo asked curiously.

"Escorting the One Ring!"

"The One Ring? You mean the Ruling Ring of Middle-earth?" Wang Bo found it quite surprising. He knew that Oasis had replicated Middle-earth, but he hadn't expected Asuna and the others to be on a quest to escort the One Ring.

"That's right, Sauron's Ruling Ring."

Wang Bo said with interest, "Alright, I'll join. Actually, I have a few companions as well. Can they join the party too?"

Yui smiled slightly and nodded, "Of course. Many hands make light work."

Dr. Bravestone shared the same thought.

"Then it's settled. Once I leave here, I'll head to Middle-earth and meet up with you." After saying this, Wang Bo asked, "Where are you now?"

"We're still in Rivendell, about to set out," Asuna said.

Wang Bo nodded, "Alright, I'll arrange things here first, then go to Rivendell to find you."

After they agreed, James Halliday transformed into Anorak and said, "I'll send you back."

The next second, Yui, Asuna, and Dr. Bravestone disappeared one by one before Wang Bo.

Anorak bowed slightly to Wang Bo and said, "Their matters are in your hands, Mr. Wang Bo."

Wang Bo nodded, and before he knew it, his vision blurred, and he was also sent away by Anorak. After returning to the castle, Friday appeared before him.

"Master, welcome back."

Wang Bo nodded and said to Friday, "Have Malthus and Caroline take Ada Wong to level up. I have some business offline."

With that, Wang Bo logged out of the game.

Back in the real world, Wang Bo took off his helmet, drew a magic circle in the room, and summoned Lady Gremory.

Lady Gremory did not refuse Wang Bo's summon. In the blink of an eye, she appeared before him, but unlike the previous true form manifestation, this time she was merely a projection.

"What do you need?" Lady Gremory asked directly. She knew Wang Bo's nature well—he never went to the temple without a reason. This man had always resisted her identity as a demon god of the underworld.

Unless necessary, he would never contact her.

Lady Gremory was not angry; instead, she kept helping Wang Bo. Her goal was simple: to make him need her, rely on her, and be unable to do without her.

When that time came, Lady Gremory's purpose would naturally be achieved.

Wang Bo was also helpless, but he had no choice. Whether in magic or influence, he was far inferior to a demon god like Lady Gremory. When faced with difficult problems, he could only rely on her.

Of course, Wang Bo would pay a price and not let Lady Gremory work for nothing. But the problem was that the intervention of a demon god was priceless in itself.

In response to Lady Gremory's inquiry, Wang Bo detailed the difficulties he faced. Lady Gremory smiled slightly and asked, "What about the Dimension Gate? Take it out and let me see."

Wang Bo casually pulled a Dimension Gate from his Fourth-Dimensional Pocket and placed it before Lady Gremory.

Lady Gremory examined this treasure that could connect two worlds, tapping and inspecting it from material to craftsmanship, from workmanship to the spells inscribed on it, analyzing it thoroughly.

Then she said, "This thing is interesting. I can't figure it out right away, but give me some time, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Lady Gremory said calmly, "This time, the payment will be this Dimension Gate."

Wang Bo thought for a moment and said, "Alright, but I need to erase the coordinates on it."

The coordinates on the Dimension Gate connected to Middle-earth, which was Wang Bo's transit point.

He didn't want Lady Gremory to sneak into his transit point.

Lady Gremory shot Wang Bo a glance but said nothing, nodding in agreement. "Fine, but prepare a game helmet for me. I want to go in and take a look."

Wang Bo nodded and said, "No problem. But how long will you need to give me a result?"

"At most a year, at least half a year." Lady Gremory gave an approximate time.

Wang Bo nodded, thinking that with this timeframe, he could give Yui and the others an answer. Then he copied a game helmet and handed it to Lady Gremory.

Lady Gremory put on the helmet, and after a moment, said to Wang Bo, "I've logged into the game. My username is 'Underworld Demon God Lady Gremory.' Come find me."

Wang Bo: ...
