Chapter 14: Double Dragon

The Crown Prince of the Demon Realm is well-known, but in Karen's words, he is just an unscrupulous speculator.

"Alec never tolerates others interfering in his business. In every unpopular industry, he guarantees to take at least 90% of the profits."

Because of his great talent and outstanding temperament, he even has heretical admirers among humans.

Karen shook his head: "Assassination, framing, bribery and threats... all kinds of methods are common against competitors."

Luke tried to speak in a calm tone: "I will be careful."

The water in the demon world was much deeper than he had imagined.

But I don’t have the capital to be ambitious at the moment, so the most urgent thing for me is to write the second part of “The Three and a Half Years Old Pet”.

Before leaving, Karen asked something that made him regret his whole life.

“By the way, why is this book called Three and a Half Years Old?”

Luke answered absentmindedly, "Three and a half years old is a critical point. By then, the little monster will have the ability to transform into a human, and different types of parents will come to it one after another."

He counted on his fingers: "There is the furious dark monster father, the flying monster that is cruel to the outside world but patient with the cubs, and the cute skeleton sister... They call the shots outside, but are particularly gentle when it comes to the cubs..."

Karen: "...I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Luke continued, "During the day, the monsters kill monsters without blinking an eye. At night, they will sit at the head of the bed and take turns telling the baby bedtime stories..."

An Qi in the dark: "I feel a little uncomfortable. I will fly first."

"Turning one hand can make clouds, turning another can make rain. All my efforts are to protect my cubs from the wind and rain."

Quill had nowhere to escape and vomited Luke all over his body with blood.

“…”

Luke scolded it for being vulgar, touched its purse, and the dog sneaked out.

Walking alone in the dark alley.

He wanted to be scolded, but not beaten. If he were exposed to the public now, he might be hit with some rotten eggs.

In the brick-and-stone alley, the boy's back slowly lengthens.

Shortly after he passed by, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly opened in the dirty cracks of the bricks.

Demon servant.

A group of sharp and powerful minions under the Great Prince of the Demon Realm.

They like to hide in the dark and stir up trouble, and their methods are hard to guard against.

Even Luke himself probably couldn't have imagined that the Crown Prince would act so quickly. After all, he only has one best-selling book now, and his pen name is not his original name, but his original name in the real world.

Obviously he underestimated the eldest prince's terrifying business intuition.

The demons always like to take precautions before they happen, and any threats must be nipped in the bud.

The quill was now hanging around Luke's waist.

Along the way, it closed its eyes and sneered, thinking that it was stupid enough to go out at this time, and it deserved to be targeted.

Lujia walked quickly to the exit, turned his head and stared at the high wall to study: "In fact, if you climb over a few walls, you can get directly to the herbal medicine store."

Quill subconsciously asked, "What are you going to the herbal medicine store for?"

"To buy you blood."

Lujia weighed his purse and said, "Thanks to you for providing me with reference materials, you deserve half the credit for the issuance of this contract."

He did not forget that this deformed heart required a large amount of essence and blood.

Monster blood can be purchased at herbal medicine stores, but because it requires a special person to draw the magic patterns to ensure that the energy is not lost, the price is very high and the cost performance is very low.

The feather pen was silent for a long time after hearing this.

When Lujia was halfway over the wall, he suddenly found that the nearby long street seemed unusually quiet. The clouds in the distant sky were permeated with strange crystals. The clouds were frozen and solidified, which was a very abnormal natural phenomenon.

"What's going on?"

…

The City of Stone was as prosperous as usual, with vendors and merchants busy doing their jobs, and occasional friction between different races.

The hot topic from a few days ago is still not over, and the role of the magic servant is indispensable.

First, he instigated people to spread slanderous remarks, ranging from books to personal character. At the same time, he secretly observed and followed Luke, confirmed his strength, and prepared to find an opportunity to kill him.

"Can you believe it? With this rubbish book, "The Group's Favorite is Three and a Half Years Old", I heard that the handsome boy made over a thousand gold coins!"

The strong man was cursing exaggeratedly in the roadside tavern.

When this number was thrown into the crowd, it caused a huge uproar.

Not to mention the drunkards in the tavern who couldn't help but have evil thoughts in their hearts, even passers-by had bad thoughts after hearing it.

Some people came to the Stone City purely to avoid disaster, and their family fortunes had long been emptied by the gold coin they earned every day.

A human boy with wealth, beauty, but low magical element is simply a piece of fat meat.

Just because killing is prohibited in the city doesn't mean there aren't loopholes. For example, what the pharmacist had done before, using drugs to make people unconscious and then tying them up outside the city to deal with them.

The sturdy man raised his voice: "The author should compensate us for writing this kind of stuff and harming people! He is just like the garbage freak he wrote about. There is no need for him to exist at all."

"That's right, ask him to return the money!"

Someone immediately agreed. After all, with so many people, they would have plenty of ways to make a fortune even if they didn't take action.

Just when the momentum was about to turn into a wave, the sturdy man suddenly felt a push, and the whole person turned into a meteor on the spot. He tried to stop halfway, but failed after trying every possible means. Finally, the strong man's eyes widened in horror and he screamed for help.

The people around him were knocked over one by one, so no one had time to care about him.

The guard hurried over and looked at the captain.

The latter shook his head, "People will fly directly out of the city."

At this speed, he would probably be half-crippled if not killed, but the other party flew out intact, so in a sense it was not a violation of the rules.

As he spoke, the captain's muscles tensed and he lowered his voice and said, "Go and inform the city lord."

He stared straight ahead.

The dragon is coming.

There's more than one.

The guard realized the true identity of the uninvited guest belatedly and his face changed drastically.

Dragons rarely walk on the mainland, and the arrival of two of them in succession is arguably the biggest news in the Stone City this year.

Some of the people who had been knocked over earlier rolled and crawled to avoid the situation, and the pedestrians on the road subconsciously all retreated to both sides of the street.

For a moment, it seemed like a grand welcoming scene.

Being watched by countless eyes, the Frost Dragon kept his head down and focused on reading the book. Even though he had read it several times, he was still reluctant to give up the content in the book and was unwilling to return it.

Leo walked ahead with a grim face, and stopped when he passed a bookstore.

The Frost Dragon didn't even raise its head and was still behind. The bookstore owner only saw Leo with a sullen face and almost cried.

Could it be that the dragons bought the book out of curiosity, were disgusted, and now want to come back to take revenge on the bookstore?

"Gui, a distinguished guest has arrived. Is there anything you want to ask?"

Leo: “Giveaway.”

"Ah?" Seeing the increasing impatience on the dragon's face, the bookstore owner finally realized, "You mean the activity where readers can exchange messages for gifts?"

Leo nodded.

The bookstore owner was even more devastated.

"I'm sorry, the redemption event is in a few days and hasn't started yet."

After Leo was interrupted, his mind was filled with thoughts about the gifts and he didn't even look at the designated bookstores and exchange time. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

The bookstore owner was shaking like a sieve and wanted to suggest that the other party tie up the author.

Just as the bookstore owner was about to speak, Leo glanced at the door and suddenly asked, "How many bookstores are there in the city?"

"Three."

There are more than twenty blacksmith shops, but the bookstore business is average, with less than a handful of them.

The boss was afraid that they couldn’t find it, so he drew a map. It’s better to die than to have a friend. Let’s go find him!

There was a pile of gold coins on the table.

The bookstore owner was overjoyed. When he looked up, Leo had already walked to the door, holding up a cute promotional sign.

It was then that he discovered that there was another dragon in the store!

Frost Dragon Berlani finally looked up at the boss and pointed at "The Group's Favorite is Three and a Half Years Old" on the shelf: "I want all of these."

A few minutes later, the boss, who had packed the books, walked them to the door in a daze.

Berlani stared at the sign, and said seriously, "The next sign belongs to me."

The appearance of Eastern and Western dragons is quite different. After being condensed into Q-version, people who see them will not immediately associate them with dragons.

Unless the reader already has a sense of immersion.

Berlani belongs to this category.

The little monster on the stand has bright eyes, and although it is a little deformed, it exudes a fiery vitality. The promotional signboard is very large, but in the eyes of the dragon clan, it is still small.

So cute.

The onlookers on the street watched in horror as they entered a bookstore, quickly cleared out all the books on the shelves, even the promotional billboards, and then rushed to the next one.

After a long while, someone swallowed and said, "Is Long...really interested in reading this book?"

What kind of shocking news is this? !

Everyone looked at each other, and felt shocked from each other's expressions.

The captain of the soldiers who had stayed behind hurried towards the City Lord's Mansion. According to his position, he was not qualified to meet the City Lord, but the soldier who had come to report earlier had already passed on the message. There is no small matter when it comes to the dragon clan, and when they heard him say that he was here to report the situation later, the city lord's guards immediately let him go.

Walking through the courtyard with layers of mountains and strange rocks, he immediately stopped and saluted when he arrived at the door of the city lord's study.

After getting permission, the captain couldn't wait to tell what happened on the street.

After reporting all at once, the captain couldn't help but look up when he heard no sound.

The Lord of Boulder City was not as gentle as he looked at the auction that day. His elegant face was filled with an inviolable majesty.

The captain couldn't help but feel a little strange when he found that the city lord seemed to be lost in thought.

In the final analysis, this was actually a misunderstanding. As long as we are sure that the dragons are harmless to Boulder City, all we have to do is tell them to keep a close eye on the rest.

The city lord did not respond to the captain's confusion.

People see things differently depending on their position. His men apparently did not notice that there was a huge benefit hidden behind this matter. An object that could arouse the interest of the dragon clan, the object itself and the person who created it, would also establish an ambiguous relationship with the dragon clan invisibly.

How to operate this relationship so that it is beneficial to humanity is something that is worth thinking about.

"Where are the people?"

The captain was puzzled. Aren’t you talking about the dragon?

The city lord stared at him and asked a question that he had not cared about before: "The devil...the author of this book, go check his current situation."

…

On the streets, the turmoil caused by the giant dragon's entry into the city not only did not subside, but more and more people came to discuss the matter after hearing the news.

Luke, who was secretly standing far away, could not see the whole picture due to his height. He could only vaguely learn about the dragon clan buying books from their shocked conversations.

He was immediately delighted and said happily, "The future is promising."

He lowered his head and whispered to the feather pen: "The blood you asked for is also expected."

The feather pen had been silent since then, and rarely did it say anything sarcastic to dampen his excitement.

Luke quickened his pace and walked forward.

He was so busy climbing over the wall that he didn't notice a gray mist oozing out from the tip of the pen hanging at his waist.

It floated lightly and drifted to the back like smoke.

In the shadows farther away, the demon servant who was muttering "This young man must not be allowed to stay" was brutally strangled before he could react.

The demon's body was easily split into thousands of pieces by the gray lines and turned into particles and disappeared.

It was as if he had never appeared in this alley.

Luke seemed to hear something and was about to turn around when he was attracted by the sound of conversation on the opposite street.

The man who was knocked over earlier was still weak in the knees and feet, trying to save face: "Tsk, no matter how proud a race is, don't they all transform into human forms to participate in important negotiations?"

Humans are the mainstream of the continent.

The people around him were worried that he would get killed for speaking without restraint, so they said unhappily, "What else? Let's all turn into groundhogs and scream together in the conference room?"

“…”

"By the way..." The person next to him frowned: "Why did Lord Leo return to the Stone City again?"

He still didn't want to admit that the other party just wanted to buy a book.

The staff of Stone Magazine had already rushed to the scene. Upon hearing this, the writer snorted, "Can't you see how much the two Lords Long like "The Group's Pet is Three and a Half Years Old"? They even took away the promotional signs."

The previous image of the giant dragon carrying the cards suddenly reappeared in everyone's mind. While it was magical, they had to start accepting this reality.

The article that was called garbage was like a rare treasure in the eyes of the dragon clan.

Could it be that they really don't know how to appreciate it?

Someone was so unconvinced that he bought another copy on the street and forced himself to read it twice... He just couldn't bear to read it!

"Can anyone tell me where the good things are?"

A magician with a broad vision suddenly stood up and said: "The one who should be feeling the most disgusted right now should be the prince of the demon world."

The other party's domineering style is well-known in the mainland.

Having dominated so many unpopular industries, a piece of it has finally been taken away from it. This author who writes about three and a half years old has dragons as readers, so he will definitely not just stick to his own little piece of land. I guess this is just the beginning.

The magician's voice was quite loud when he said this, and Luke heard it clearly.

He proudly transmitted: "I am a national hero."

The feather pen said coldly: "Humanity is amazing because of you. Go to the Holy City to show your merits."

Thinking of the other half of the blood in his body, Luke frowned and asked sincerely: "Wise Sir Alex, how can I truly integrate into human society?"

He was originally a human before he crossed over, and in the future he would prefer to be active in the human realm.

Some treasures that can prolong life or dilute treasures, and even the most brilliant knowledge, are concentrated in the Holy City. I can't hide in the Stone City all my life.

Quill didn't even think about it: "Unless you take the devil's head with you."

Luke didn't even think twice: "Can I take Ding with me?"

Why should children repay their parents’ love?

Let Ding take the blame.

"This is an open conspiracy. If I bring a Ding over and say he belongs to the Demon King, then how can the Demon King prove that he has not been castrated?"

“…”

The quill thought it was crazy because it really thought about it and found no solution.

The crowd gradually began to disperse, so Lujia temporarily stopped talking and took the opportunity to make a detour to the herbal medicine store.

There weren't too many people in the herbal medicine store during the day, but when the boss saw Luke wearing a mask, he immediately woke up from his doze: "It's you, a smile worth a thousand gold?!"

Compared to Luke's strange pen name, people remember the story of a smile that can't be bought with money more clearly.

Lujia's mouth twitched, and he took out the gold coins: "Buy monster blood, the purer the better."

The boss looked at him suspiciously as he spent a large amount of money to buy blood at one time.

Luka urged: "Can't you see that I'm a useless magician? I want to try some unorthodox methods to see if I can improve my physique. Please hurry up."

boss:"……"

Feather pen: “…”

The author has something to say:

Luke: I want to do something evil, don't bother me.

Boss: I don’t know what to say for a moment.

In the article details interface, don't forget to collect the red envelope. Although I always get moonstone or sunshine, I believe my readers must be Jinjiang coins.
