Chapter 25 The Demon Living in the Human World
She was surrounded by a dress-like curtain, and the patchwork look made people worry that it might break at any time.
Long black hair covered the skinny upper body, and the inner sides of the upward-erected ears were covered with light pink fuzz.
The reason why Luo Yan could see so clearly was not because of how good his eyesight was, but simply because the excited Youyou got so close that the camera almost hit the little wild cat's face.
It was obvious that she was really hungry, and she was so focused on food that she didn't even notice the undead being so close.
In addition.
There is no doubt that this guy is a demon - one of His Majesty's exiled subjects.
There is a very simple way to distinguish between demons and half-orcs, that is, the latter are more like beasts, while the former are more like transformed people who incorporate some of the characteristics of beasts.
Luo Yan didn't understand why there were people from hell in the hinterland of the human world, but then he thought about it, as a human being, he had already obtained a diploma from the Demon King Academy. It seemed that the presence of demons in the Lion Kingdom was not that exaggerated?
Just looking at the way this guy was devouring his food, Luo Yan could not imagine the state of a demon living in the human world.
Perhaps it is because they do not have the value of being united.
For the earthly world that is like a garden, the kings of the human kingdom really have no need to unite these burdens.
"Lord Demon King! Catch her quickly! Believe! Brainwash! Train her! Transform her into your shape!" Yuyou ran up and down excitedly, wishing that she could catch this "cat monster" herself.
Looking at Youyou jumping up and down, Luo Yan didn't know where to start complaining.
Tut.
Why is this guy more ruthless than the devil himself?
Seeing how much this little wild cat admired his cooking skills, Luo Yan couldn't bear to do anything for a while.
Since he is not an assassin.
How about just forget it?
He was full anyway.
However, although Luo Yan did think so, Bond, who had received the order, did not intend to just let her go.
"Hungry..."
hh A long, drawn-out growl came out of his mouth, waiting for an opportunity to burst out from him who was lurking in the dark.
I saw the big sword in his hand swinging out fiercely, cutting off the straw pile in front of him in an instant, and slashing at the feasting thief without losing momentum.
Mao Mao, whose mouth was full of wooden skewers, was suddenly startled. He stretched out his right hand and put it on the ground. He turned around and took two steps to distance himself.
It is purely a survival instinct.
The sharp sword blade almost swept past her ear.
She was just a little short of becoming an ear.
Luo Yan, who was holding the mirror, saw that the long sword in Bond's hand passed directly through Yuyou's body.
If this sword had struck a person, he would have been dead. Fortunately, it had struck a god.
As an incorporeal existence, Yoyo cannot be harmed by mortal attacks at all, whether it is physical attacks or magic attacks.
In contrast, Luo Yan was a little worried about the little wild cat.
Hum, friend, why don't you spit out what's in your mouth first?
That is a sharpened wooden stick after all.
Very dangerous!
"Hurry! Chase after her! Lord Demon King! Don't let her escape!" Yoyo in the mirror shouted regardless.
Luo Yan ignored this noisy godhead and just ordered to Bond who was ready to go.
"Bond, sit down."
Bond, who was holding his sword ready to attack one second, sat down cross-legged on the ground with a plop the next second.
Just after slipping back from the hell gate, the frightened little wild cat was obviously still in a state of stress and did not calm down because the evil ghost in front of him stopped attacking.
Although she couldn't figure out what was happening, her survival instinct told her that it was best to escape at this time.
If you don’t run, you won’t be able to escape!
Slender and tight legs were lowered into half-folded bows. However, just when she was about to turn into a gust of wind and slip away, her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they were fixed in place, unable to move.
She lost her balance and almost fell. It was only when she lowered her head that she was horrified to find that two skeleton hands emerged from the ground at some point and grabbed her ankles tightly!
It is the undead!
Seeing this horrifying scene, she was like a cat that had seen bananas for the first time. Her whole body was bent into a shrimp ball, and the hair all over her body exploded.
Looking at the desperate struggle, Luo Yan was worried that he would scare this guy to death, so he walked out from the shadows.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he showed up, his faith value suddenly rose.
Am I that scary?
Cleared his throat, Luo Yan spoke in as kind a tone as possible.
"Good evening, uninvited guest, my name is Luo Yan, from hell... In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I hope you will sign up consciously."
Just in case, he said this sentence first in the language of hell, and then in the language of the Kingdom of Ryan.
However, the little wild cat did not appreciate it.
The pair of amber pupils were still staring at him, and the looming tiger fangs were forcefully exposed in the mouth filled with skewers.
"Drink...!"
That vague growl was not intimidating at all, but made people feel silly because the mouth was full of food.
「……都这样了也不愿意先把烤串拔出来么？你这家伙到底几天没吃东西了。」
罗炎做了个无奈的表情，念动咒语的同时随手挥了下魔杖，从身后变出来半截石墩子坐下。
"Why don't you finish eating first, and then we can have a nice talk?"
Perhaps he was tired from drinking, or maybe he was really too hungry. Seeing that Luo Yan didn't make any next move, the little wild cat moved its cheeks in a slurp.
"Don't eat the wooden skewers together."
Luo Yan warned casually, and then picked out a few skewered rat tails from the wooden frame on the side, inserted them next to the fire and roasted them slowly.
When the little wild cat finally mastered the knack of making skewers, he was almost done grilling them, so he sprinkled a few grains of salt on them and handed them to her.
"Here."
Although those amber eyes were still filled with vigilance and fear, her body still accepted the temptation of food honestly, swallowing her saliva and reaching out her hand.
Luo Yan waved his magic wand, creating half a stone pillar behind her, gesturing for her to sit down.
When the little wild cat finally relaxed completely, he released the skeleton hand holding her ankle and returned her freedom.
Luo Yan noticed that the moment she regained her freedom, her shoulders tightened unconsciously.
However, after hesitating for a while, she finally did not run away as before, but quietly waited by the fire with the skewers stuck in it.
"Is it delicious?"
"It's cooked! Delicious!"
"Hahaha, I knew it."
Okay.
It took me a long time to do it. It turned out that it was not because of how great my cooking skills were, but because this guy was the type who was easily satisfied.
Looking at the happy chewing look on her face, Luo Yan became more and more curious about what kind of life she had lived before.
"So good."
"Hmm?"
"I mean, you have a really good appetite."
After eating the kebabs worth five thousand coins, the petite and childish face finally had a trace of the pain of happiness and contentment written on it.
Looking at the slightly stretched belly, Luo Yan stopped feeding him, put away the wooden skewers and threw them into the storage basket nearby.
I heard that people who have been hungry for a long time will forget the feeling of fullness, so that they will eat too much and stuff themselves to death.
Looking at the fire with no skewers left, the kitten sitting on the stone pillar cast a longing look at Luo Yan, hinting him to have some more.
It wasn't until the latter spread her hands to show that she didn't have any more, that she licked her fingers and the corners of her mouth, yawned and stretched.
「谢……谢谢。」
这家伙原来会说人话。
Looking at the cat lady who had opened her heart, Luo Yan persuaded her in a gentle tone.
"You're welcome, the demon god Bayali taught us that we must help each other in the surface world. After all, humans there are not good things... except for humans who believe in the demon god, like me."
< br/> "Demon? Bayali?" The cat tilted his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Sarah has only heard of Lord Saint Sith..."
Luo Yan's brows twitched, but he still said with a smile.
"So, has the respected Lord Saint Sith grilled you a kebab?"
Sara looked at him blankly and shook her head.
ifier
"Then did He give you money? Or helped you cure your illness? Or gave you a warm house or a warm home? Or helped you catch mice... Well, there is no need to answer, your sad expression has told me that you have nothing," Luo Yan said with a smile, "Remember, from today on, you are a believer of the devil."
"Demon...King?" Sarah looked at him blankly, her mouth open, her head not turning, "Isn't it the Demon God?"
Luo Yan shook his head and said slowly.
"The Demon God didn't give you the things I mentioned, right? But! As the Demon King, I gave you kebabs, don't you believe that I am suitable?"
Luo Yan waited for a while, but no thunder struck down.
Very good.
It seems that neither the Demon God nor Saint Sith heard it.
Sarah, who was hugging her knees, nodded in understanding, feeling that what the human in front of her said seemed to make some sense.
Her mother always told her when she was still alive that she should believe in Lord Saint Sith. The omnipotent Holy Light would one day redeem them who were lost.
However, every guy she met who claimed to be a servant of Saint Sith never gave her a good look for even a second... Instead, the guy in front of her who claimed to be the Demon King gave her a full meal.
The devil.
There seems to be nothing wrong with it?
Humbling about her previous "vicious" attitude, she suddenly buried her head in shame.
"Sarah...my name. Sarah doubted you before, I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter, it's human nature to be vigilant, just like I have also suspected that you hiding in the dark are actually an assassin or something."
Luo Yan smiled friendly and continued.
"Speaking of which, I'm quite surprised. How did you avoid the early warning magic circle I set up outside this hotel?" A little confused, Sarah recalled it carefully for a long time, and then said in an uncertain tone, "Is it the smell of corpses...I did smell a little bit outside the hotel, so I avoided it."
The smell of corpses?
Could it be the ashes used for casting spells?
But can that thing really be smelled with your nose?
Luo Yan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Perhaps he can improve it.
For example...how about replacing the ashes with plant ashes?
Looking at Luo Yan who was silent, Sarah thought he was angry, so she apologized in a low voice.
「对不起……这里一直没人，我看到有火光，就想着过来看看，能不能找点什么有用的东西。」
对上那小心翼翼的眼神，罗炎立刻猜到她误会了什么，于是笑了笑说道。
"No need to apologize, this hotel is not my home, I am just occupying a magpie's nest."
The evening wind of mid-autumn shook the light on the fire, and the rising fire flakes were like dancing fireflies.
Sarah stared at his face for a long time, just like squatting in a flower bed by the roadside, sizing up a wild scavenger cat.
/> "Yes."
"Is there... far from here?"
Luo Yan glanced at her, and saw a hint of longing for the Utopia - or desire - in his amber pupils.
“Do you want to go?”
“Hmm...”
Sarah nodded, not hiding her inner feelings.
However, for Sarah who revealed her heart, Luo Yan poured a basin of cold water on her head.
"I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea."
"Why??" Sarah looked at him puzzled, as if she was seriously confused.
Luo Yan thought for a while and carefully selected his words to answer.
"There... How should I put it, if you happened to be born in the Magic City, you should have a more comfortable life. But other than that, everyone has their own explanation."
To put it bluntly.
If hell was really that comfortable, he wouldn't come here to be the devil.
He was born in the Demonic City, and he still has a halo of protecting animals on his head, and he also has a godfather, adoptive father and grandfather who is a priest in the Demonic Temple of the Ministry of Truth.
As for ordinary demons like Sarah, who were born in the human world, let alone going to the Demon City, if they want to go to hell, they have to go to the front line to prove their loyalty first.
After hearing Luo Yan's answer, Sarah lowered her ears in frustration and stared at her toes not knowing what she was thinking.
"It's not that my back hurts when I stand and talk, but guys like you who grew up on the ground really can't adapt to the environment there, so don't think about it. How many people want to come up but can't... By the way, I happen to have a job here. If you really can't find where to go, why not come and work for me."
Players are busy upgrading, and he is worried that he can't find anyone to be an NPC.
Cat girl shop assistant.
It was enough to excite the animals who had been shouting about succubi and succubi all day long.
Sarah did not respond.
Luo Yan thought the little wild cat was depressed, and was about to say a few words of chicken soup to coax the ghost, but he heard a steady purring sound.
I saw a slender silver thread hanging next to the softly breathing mouth, and the slightly raised corners of the mouth were like a small boat rowing on the Milky Way.
I don’t know if I dreamed of something delicious, but the child actually became so greedy for it.
A certain black-hearted boss was dumbfounded.
「Good guy...」
He actually fell asleep! -
(Thanks to the leader of "Lin Qingyu" for the reward!!!)
