The lazy, bright sunshine and the drifting sea of clouds, just like the hymn of the Holy Lord of Light, bring life to the world.
The golden sand is brilliant, the exquisite seashells are sparkling, the blue sea is blowing a refreshing breeze, and the coconut trees rooted on the beach are laden with coconuts.
"debt?"
Xiao Han's eyes widened, and the grilled squid he was biting into slipped from his hand. Even so, the gentle and elegant woman in front of him calmly calculated the losses.
"Yes, rescuing the Demon King has exhausted all my wealth."
Ofina was calculating intently, and her pretty yet cold face appeared increasingly ferocious in Xiao Han's eyes.
Why do I have a bad feeling?
"The cost of hiring the chimeras, the high-level magic scrolls consumed, and the use of the Starstorm Empire's safe passage..."
Amidst Ofina's "bombardment," Xiao Han's eyes glazed over. He slightly raised his head, gazing at the sun amidst a sea of clouds drifting across the sky.
Despite the weather being warmer, he felt a chill as if winter was approaching.
"etc!"
Suddenly, remembering something crucial, Xiao Han's eyes lit up, a sliver of hope in his eyes: "As the Demon King, do I have territory?"
Upon hearing this, Ofina had already calculated the cost of the chimera's food. She blinked her beautiful heterochromatic eyes, looking at Xiao Han with a blank expression.
Hey, what happened to your arrogant, violent assassin persona? Stop acting cute, you jerk!!
"So, you mean there isn't any?"
Xiao Han replied bitterly, speaking on behalf of Oufina, his face revealing a look of utter despair.
"Your Highness, the food is ready!"
At this moment, the necromancer grabbed a few skewers of grilled squid and handed them to Xiao Han with a fawning, "skull-like" expression.
But Xiao Han paused for a moment, stood up, the bandages wrapped around his body slipped off, and walked silently towards the sea.
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
The necromancer, puzzled, asked curiously.
"I'm wondering if it's too late to go back to that prison?"
Xiao Han did not turn around. Instead, he opened his arms to the smell of the sea breeze and responded earnestly.
He raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight, and the white light shone through his slender fingers, warm and comforting.
Although Xiao Han really wanted to hurl insults at Oufina, saying, "You did this terrible thing yourself, why should I be responsible?!", he figured she was more likely to just slash him to pieces with her sword.
If Xiao Han had known beforehand that the price of freedom would be so heavy, he would have immediately clung to Evelyn's leg and shamelessly demanded that his prison cell be fitted with multiple layers of restraints, preferably the kind of defense that even a gold-level expert couldn't break through.
"Huff!"
A shadow swept across the sky, and with an earthquake-like tremor, a ferocious two-headed dragon with grotesque scales stepped onto the beach. Its two heads glared at Xiao Han, and it snorted a wave of air to show its disdain.
The Chimera has arrived to demand payment from Ophina.
Although the demon race is hated by various forces, it is undeniable that the higher races of the demon race value their reputation highly.
This explains why, despite being severely injured, Chimera wasn't worried about being betrayed by Ophina and turned into a dragon meat feast to nourish the newbie demon king.
Moreover, and most importantly, the guarantor of the employment contract between the two parties is no ordinary powerful figure. Even the Fallen Angels would have to give the other party some face.
"Ding! A newbie-friendly and super simple task has been successfully posted."
Just then, Xiao Han, who was sitting on the sea reef enjoying the sea breeze, was stunned, and a seductive voice came to his mind.
Why does it feel a little obsequious that I don't mock the system that's making me feel so uncomfortable all day?
Mission: Robbery! [Incomplete]
Difficulty: Yellow...cough cough, Iron level
Content: Seize the Magic Orb and hand it over to the supreme master.
Reward: Ahem, once you get your hands on it, everything will be fine.
[Hurry up and grab it, you coward! Stop standing there!]
Xiao Han: "???"
That's Gold level, right? It's definitely Gold level!
Four years of exploration have given Xiao Han a clear understanding of the difficulty of the mission.
The difficulty level of the task corresponds to the cultivation level of the professional who performs the task. This damn system is clearly making him court death!
You want me to steal from a Gold-rank expert who possesses extraordinary power? Why the hell don't you just die?!
After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Han looked at Ophina and Chimera, who were talking. With the help of his magic eye, he saw Ophina frown and raise her eyebrows slightly, taking out a round jade bead from her waist. Judging from the lingering look in Ophina's eyes, it was no ordinary object.
The fact that the Dogcoin system had such a strong possessive desire for this kind of item greatly intrigued Xiao Han.
Xiao Han subconsciously looked at the precious pearl, activating his [Demon Eye], and a list of information appeared:
Item: Magic Orb (Fine)
Grade: Gold
Description: Contains magical power for the evolution of life.
[Own it and embark on the path of demon god evolution! Quickly use your most despicable means to snatch it!]
Are you out of your mind, selling loquats like that?
Xiao Han thought to himself, speechless at the system that had possessed him.
However, this magical orb is surprisingly important to the Silly Sculpture System.
