Chapter 127 The reaction of the Dragon family
Hits too similar.
Not only the aggressive eyes, but also the sarcastic tone are exactly the same as in school.
Luo Yan speculated that this should be some kind of "personality" of the succubus.
Once the desire to conquer is aroused by this "personality", it is equivalent to throwing yourself into a trap and actively getting into the trap of a succubus.
As for why he understands so well?
Of course it’s because that’s what Professor Lilith taught in class.
Hence, he did not fall into the trap at all, the decent smile on his face remained unchanged, and he spoke politely.
"You're well, dear Miss Mia, I didn't expect that my bronze-level strength left such a deep impression on you."
"That, of course... haha."
Hearing those words, my dear, even though Mia knew it was just a polite greeting, her cheeks still couldn't help but feel slightly hot.
In order to cover up her gaffe, she held her hands in front of her chest, deliberately raised her chin higher than usual, twirled her index finger around the ends of her hair, and put on a confident smile on her face.
"Don't misunderstand me. This is not a special favor for you. It's just that you are the first Demon King that I am responsible for, and we don't want to leave an unlucky stain on my career resume. After all, the Bronze-level Demon King is too weak, just like a fish, or even worse than a slightly more powerful adventurer. He may die one day."
While saying this, the guy seemed to accidentally bite his tongue.
Although the expression was a bit distorted, Luo Yan could tell that she was concerned about him, so he smiled and followed her words.
"Yes, yes, you are right. An unreliable Demon King like me may disappear one day. So in order to prevent my sacrifice from becoming a stain on your career resume, I hope that Miss Mia can take more care of us in the future."
"Ha, haha... As long as you know how weak you are, the front line is not a place for joking. You should understand by now that I am not scaring you, right?"
Hair on the temples was wrapped around the index finger again and again, and unknowingly became a curling iron. Mia, who was thinking about something, coughed lightly, and suddenly said in a pitiful tone.
"How? If you have suffered enough, for the sake of my old classmate, we can't help you transfer back from the front line——"
"That's not necessary," Luo Yan smiled and declined the offer politely, and continued, "Thanks to your care, the necropolis is developing quite well now. By the way...that Ork is very useful. If there are any similar talents, please help me keep an eye out."
"He... is quite brave." The expectations in her heart were disappointed. The corners of Mia's mouth trembled unconsciously, and her proud smile was a little unbearable.
Originally, I expected the youngest son of the Dragon family to come and take the blame, but now it seems that there is no need to even meet.
She quickly changed the topic.
"Speaking of which, you don't have a place to live yet? Hehehe, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to feel sorry for you, I just feel that the Bronze Demon King who is crowded into the hotel with the smelly goblins is really pitiful. Well, I happen to have an empty house nearby that is quite big. If you really have no place to live——"
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"I plan to live in the temple on Nightmare on Elm Street in the West District of the Magic City, and I will visit Priest Jeffrey by the way. You won't have to worry about accommodation."
h
What is this operation?
"That's right."
Luo Yan suddenly thought of something and took out a palm-sized, well-packaged oak box from his bag and handed it to Mia.
"This is a gift for you...it can be regarded as a thank you gift. It's not disrespectful to express my feelings. I hope Miss Mia won't refuse."
"Oh hehehe...a gift? It can't be some kind of prank, right?" As she said that, Mia reached out and snatched it away, but her idea was purely to save others by herself.
After staring at the oak box for a while, Mia didn't worry about anything and opened the gift directly in front of her.
Soon, the light of the candlestick illuminated the treasure in the box, and the crystal clear light stunned her on the spot for a moment.
Diamond? !
To be precise, it was a rough diamond of more than 100 carats, which had only been simply polished and was as big as a candy!
Mia's face turned red instantly.
Perhaps because she didn't hold it tight, the tail that was originally hidden by her popped out with a "bang" and swayed from side to side behind her.
"Is this for me?! Is it too expensive?"
As expected, most women like shiny things, and the devil is no exception. Luo Yan knew that he had given the right gift as soon as he saw Mia's reaction.
"It's not that valuable, I just got it by chance."
Scrounged it from a guy named Immovable Man.
Although the big guy was a bit stupid, he was not really stupid. He obviously knew that large diamonds were worth more than small ones, so he did not trade them to the Skull-Smashing Tribe.
In the end, it was cheaper for Luo Yan.
Looking at Mia's elated look, he didn't say that he had a lot of similar things. If the young lady of the Padrich family appeared at the banquet of high-level demons wearing jewelry made from it, the diamonds from the necropolis might become the darling of the Magic City.
This is also a good thing for him.
At this time, there was a knocking sound on the door of the teleportation room, and then the deputy director of the Demon King Management Department, Grien, opened the door and walked in from the outside.
"I'm sorry, I hope I haven't disturbed you two, but please allow me to remind you that this is the public transmission station of the Demon Lord Management Department... Maybe we can change our place to catch up with old times?"
If there were no express items to be sent to the Demon Lord's Territory on the front line, he would not mind letting the Miss Padrich family occupy it for a while.
However, Mia, who was in a good mood, didn't care about him. She hugged Luo Yan's arm happily and said with a playful smile.
"You plan to go to the temple on Elm Street soon, right? Take my car there!"
I didn't expect this guy to suddenly hug his arm. Luo Yan subconsciously ducked back, only to find that this guy's strength was unexpectedly great. Even though he was not BUFFed, he couldn't break free without using some strength.
At this time, the fragrance of peach and blackcurrant penetrated into his nose along his hair, with a faint smell of acacia honey.
"Is this...appropriate?"
Luo Yan cast a look at the old senior asking for help.
However, the latter probably misunderstood something and didn't want to look at him at all. He even rolled his eyes at the candlestick nearby.
This guy got a good deal and behaved well.
I don’t know how many demons want to climb the big tree of the Padridge family!
Seeing that her boss didn't care about her early departure, Mia pulled Luo Yan's shoulders and dragged him out of the transfer room with a smile.
ccogeneous island in the middle of the lake surrounded by magma. In the center of the island sits a ghostly manor, and in the center of the manor sits an eerie old castle.
The obsidian wall covered with murderous vines is bathed in the turbid light emitted by the magma, just like an arm crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones.
The beautiful piranha hanging under the window sill is like a torture instrument hanging in a torture chamber, exuding a terrifying aura.
solemn.
Standard.
Evil.
And fashion!
This is the manor of the Dragon family in the Magic City, and it is also the most luxurious mansion nearby. It is said that the majestic statue of the Terror in the center of the garden alone cost the first generation owner hundreds of millions of kyla!
It’s not just money.
The iron gate at the entrance of the manor is inlaid with a horror holding a battle ax - it is said that this is the emblem awarded to the Dragon family by His Majesty the Demon God Bayali himself.
Although this ancient family has declined in recent years, its rich heritage is still not comparable to that of ordinary demon families...
At this moment, a light is shining in the room on the top floor of the tallest spire of the castle.
Camu Dragon, the current head of the Dragon family, is sitting in front of a spacious desk, lighting a kerosene lamp, and quietly flipping through a yellowed notebook.
It was the relic of his father, Reggie Dragon, and was handed over to him by his grandfather, Zarok Dragon, who had resigned as the head of the family long ago.
This notebook not only records some public deeds his father did during his tenure as the Demon King, but also records some secrets that are inconvenient for outsiders to know.
For example, research on theology, soul, and other taboo knowledge.
Another example is the study of the last king of the Isaac Dynasty of the Kingdom of Lane, etc.
It was after studying this information that he was surprised to find that he didn't know anything about his father at all.
According to the results of his father's research, both gods and souls are things that can be created artificially.
As early as a thousand years ago, a human king named Lint Isaac had done something similar, and thus offended the Church of Saint Sith and the empire that regarded Saint Sith as the state religion!
If his father really understood the secret of becoming a god, these information are likely to be stored in the labyrinth under Thunder County.
A trace of greed flashed across Kamu's face.
In hell, there is no demon who does not desire power! There is no devil who does not desire to become stronger!
This desire for power engraved in their bones is the reason why they obey His Majesty the Demon God - because only the great Majesty Bayali can make them stronger!
And now, a new and unknown path is in front of him!
With this approach, he can not only become a more powerful existence without relying on the blessing of His Majesty the Demon God, but he can even surpass the Demon God Bayali himself!
Even become a new demon!
Speaking of which, before the Demon God Bayali became the Demon God, it seemed that he was the Demon King of a certain Demon King's Territory on the front line...
Thinking of this, Kamu suddenly began to regret it.
The Dragon family should not give up the Demon King's territory in Thunder County.
Even if the human archduke there seems to have demigod-level strength, it doesn't mean that you have to fight with demigods when you go there.
Isn’t it true that the Demon King who recently took office there is living a good life?
I heard that he is still a bronze-level human being.
Kamu has no doubt that even a bronze-level human can secure the throne of the Demon King. He, a platinum-level terror, will not do worse than that guy no matter what.
But it’s too late to say this now.
The Demon King is not one who can become the Demon King whenever he wants and resign whenever he wants.
If the guy doesn't agree, even if the demigod comes, he won't be able to spit out the demon king's throne from his mouth.
As for killing?
That is equivalent to destroying the Demon King, which is no different from treason.
Kamu fell into deep thought.
At this moment, a skinny giant bat landed on the edge of the window sill, stretched out its skinny knuckles and knocked on the closed window.
啪嗒，啪嗒。
Camu raised his head and glanced at the servant standing on the window sill. With a slight lift of his index finger, the window bolt opened by itself, letting in the giant bat standing on the window sill.
The moment the skinny bat landed, the pair of black wings transformed into an elegant tuxedo and hung to the ground.
A handsome man with a thin face stood respectfully under the light of the candlelight, nodded slightly towards the current head of the Dragon family, and reported in a hoarse voice.
"The Demon King of Thunder County is back."
His name is Night Song, and he is a platinum-level ordinary demon. It is said that he served the Dragon family a long time ago.
Kamu glanced at Ye Ge who was standing under the candlestick, closed the notebook in his hand, stuffed it into the desk drawer, and continued in a casual tone.
"I know, is there anything else?"
Ye Ge nodded and continued in a hoarse voice.
"Your brother Xino Dragon went to find him again."
Hearing his brother's name, Kamu curled his lips and said with a sneer.
"That fool."
"He is your brother after all, and he is also a member of the Dragon family," Night Song reminded softly, and then continued in a hoarse voice, "Do you want me to bring him back?"
The nails of his index finger tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair. Kamu closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and suddenly spoke. "That's not necessary."
Ye Ge's eyes flickered slightly.
"You mean..."
Kamu smiled faintly and said pointedly.
"I heard that the situation in Thunder County seems to have changed. Grand Duke Campbell is ill in bed, and the entire Principality of Campbell has fallen into a vortex of power struggle. Although the maze there is useless, it is my father's hard work after all. If possible, I still don't want him to fall into the hands of others."
His voice was calm.
Hands against Archduke Campbell, the enemy who killed his father, cannot even be heard.
Ye Ge had a look of surprise on his face.
"I see, you want your brother to test the current Demon King in the labyrinth below Thunder County for you, right?"
Camu said with a cold smile.
For so many years, that idiot has never done anything serious except causing us trouble. If he can become the Demon King, he can be considered as making some contribution to the Dragon family. "
Night Song lowered his head and said.
"Subordinates understand."
Kamu waved his hand.
"Go down if you understand."
Yege did not leave, but continued.
"I have one more thing to report... The eldest lady of the Padridge family seems to be very interested in the demon king."
Camu has heard about this matter.
The two seemed to be classmates, and this was no secret.
Opening the desk drawer, he took out the yellowed notes again and replied casually.
"Isn't that great? The Padridge family just has the ability to bring that "little pretty face" back from the front line."
Yege said in a hoarse voice.
"But I heard... that Demon King doesn't want to come back."
The hand turning the book was pressed on the title page of the note. Camu Dragon narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous light flashing in his pupils.
Don’t want to come back?
Humbit Did he discover his father's research...
Hair looked uncertain for a long time, and he slowly spoke.
I understand.
Ye Ge bowed and did not stay in the study room. He transformed into a huge bat again and got into the night outside the window.
…
At the same time, in the West District of the Demon City, the luxurious carriage passing through the middle of the street attracted the attention of countless demons.
Padrich's family crest is not easy for ordinary demons to identify, but the tall and straight Pegasus is not common in hell.
Even if this is a magical city where just picking up a brick can hit several high-level demons.
All the demons speculated on the identity of the nobleman sitting in the carriage, and cast envious glances at him.
However, at this moment, Luo Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, was sitting on pins and needles, feeling uncomfortable all over his body.
The reason is that classmate Mia is too enthusiastic. She just wants to sit on the same side as him, but insists on sitting in the middle of the seat, forcing him to the edge of the door.
Facing Miss Mia who seemed to have endless words to say, Luo Yan had a decent smile on his face, but he was worried about how he would explain to Priest Jeffrey how he got off a succubus car.
Most of the temple's acolytes hate succubi.
Pastor Jeffrey is no exception.
It is said that the reason for this is that I don’t know which year started, a strange fashion suddenly started in the circle of succubi in hell——
Driven by this fashion, some succubi began to seduce the clergy in the temple, and they were proud of it, and even proud of it.
According to some succubi, there is nothing better to prove the charm of a succubus than to make an acolyte who has dedicated his soul to His Majesty the Demon God fall in love.
This is undoubtedly a bad taste.
Just like a copper-smelling businessman’s interest in Sister Saint Sith, like a eater who insists on eating to protect animals even though there is normal food to eat.
Of course, in the final analysis, it is still the connivance of the demon god - Bayali has never punished both parties because a high-level demon seduced people in the temple.
Some of the demons in the Demon City are too extravagant.
Pastor Jeffrey made this comment more than once.
Looking at Luo Yan who was staring out the window and was distracted, Mia couldn't help but pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. She stared straight at the distracted guy and moved her face closer to continue to squeeze his "living space" in the car.
At this moment, she suddenly found a piece of cat hair on his collar, so she curiously reached out and picked it up.
Still a black one?
"You have a cat?"
Hearing Mia talking to him, Luo Yan subconsciously replied.
"That's right, what's wrong?"
Mia covered her mouth and chuckled.
"It's nothing, I just found a piece of cat hair on your body... Hehehe, I didn't expect the devil to have such a hobby."
Luo Yan glanced at this guy helplessly.
"Isn't it possible?"
Mia said with a smile.
「怎么会？说起来本小姐还没见过地表的猫长什么样，改天去你的魔王领拜访一下好了。」
「其实和地狱里的差别不是很大。」想到那些整天嚷嚷着魅魔的玩家，罗炎简直不敢想像这家伙去了以后，自己的魔王领会乱成什么样。
Fortunately, the portal has two switches.
Without his permission, no one can fly to his territory without permission...
While the two were chatting, the slowly walking carriage finally arrived near Nightmare on Elm Street, and the solemn temple finally caught Luo Yan's sight.
Night has just fallen.
The believers were leaving from the temple after praying.
It was a very coincidence that Priest Jeffrey was standing at the door of the temple, talking to a middle-aged man in simple clothes and walking in a hurry.
Luo Yan had never seen that person before, so he thought he was a believer who had just finished praying.
However, I don’t know if it was his imagination, but the middle-aged man was obviously stunned when he looked at the carriage he was riding in. Then he hurriedly said goodbye to Priest Jeffrey, turned around and disappeared at the street corner beside the temple.
Is it because of the Padridge family?
Luo Yan could only guess this way.
Speaking of which, another thing that concerned him was that the guy's expression was very unnatural, as if he had used a disguise potion or something similar.
It is unknown why he did not show his true face when praying...
At this moment, neither the middle-aged man who disappeared in the alley, nor the priest Jeffrey who watched him go away, nor Luo Yan who was sitting on the carriage, did not notice a pair of eyes hidden in the crowd watching all of them.
That look is full of complexity.
A little more gloomy...
After saying "Thank you" to classmate Mia, Luo Yan jumped out of the stopped carriage with his suitcase, only to see Mia following behind him.
Meeting Luo Yan’s unexpected gaze, Mia lightly covered her lips and smiled.
"What's wrong? I'm not welcome here?"
"How come? This is the temple of His Majesty the Demon God... Any demon is welcome to admire the glory of that Lord."
Luo Yan was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, especially when Priest Jeffrey was looking at him and Mia standing next to him in surprise.
Seemingly on purpose, Mia patted his shoulder lightly and said with a giggle.
"Then let's go. Speaking of which, you haven't introduced your adoptive father to me yet... His name is Priest Jeffrey, right? I heard that the priests in the temple don't like succubi very much."
Luo Yan: "Since you know, why don't you—"
"Of course I know, but dear Luo Yan will explain it to me, right?" Mia blinked, "I am different."
Luo Yan glanced at her in slight surprise.
Different?
What’s the difference?
He has never seen a succubus with a purer bloodline than hers.
But looking at Mia's energetic look, Luo Yan knew that if he didn't satisfy her, he wouldn't be able to spend the past seven days peacefully.
Just when he was about to walk towards Priest Jeffrey, a huge tauren suddenly flashed in front of him.
To be precise, it was a fear demon, belonging to the same species as Professor Enos.
He has a pair of horns on his head, his angular face is powerful, and his clothes are bulging with the tangled muscles.
Because the figure flashed so suddenly, Luo Yan couldn't help but wonder, how did this guy hide in the crowd without being discovered?
But I heard that high-level demons above the silver level can consciously hide their demonic characteristics. Maybe he has been hiding his identity until just now, and finally exposed it when he could no longer hide it.
The surprise on Mia's face was even more exaggerated than that of Luo Yan, her eyes widened as if she had found a fly drowned in butter on a delicious pastry.
「How did you find this place?!」
"Hahahaha," Xino Dragon laughed up to the sky and said proudly, "You don't think that only the Padridge family can read other people's genealogy books, do you?"
Mia was stunned and speechless with her mouth open.
Is this something that can be discussed publicly? !
Luo Yan also looked at her in astonishment.
"Your suitor?"
"No——"
Before Mia could explain anything to Luo Yan, her index finger as thick as a python pointed at Luo Yan, who was standing next to her.
"The person I'm looking for is you! The usurper of the necropolis, the false king of Thunder County Labyrinth! Even if my cowardly brother gives up the inheritance of my father's Demon King's Territory, it doesn't mean that territory belongs to you! Even the cabinet cannot deny that I also have Inheritance! And I didn’t say I was going to give up!”
The horror demon didn’t give Luo Yan a chance to speak at all. He dropped these words and the saliva on the ground, and at the same time, he grabbed a glove from his pocket and threw it on the ground.
"If you are confident that you can defend His Majesty the Demon God's territory, then pick it up for me! If you don't have the courage and courage, then get as far away as you can! Hahaha!"
(End of this chapter)
