Chapter 127 The Response of the Dragun Family

So similar.

Not only the aggressive look, but even the sarcastic tone was 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 kind of "personality", it is equivalent to walking into the trap and actively falling into the snare of the succubus.

As for why he understands so well?

Of course, that’s because that’s what Professor Lilith taught in class.

Therefore, he did not fall into the trap at all, and he kept a decent smile on his face and spoke politely.

"How are you, dear Miss Mia? I didn't expect that my bronze-level strength would leave such a deep impression on you."

"Of course... Hehe."

When Mia heard the word "dear", even though she knew it was just a polite compliment, her cheeks still felt slightly hot.

In order to hide her gaffe, she crossed her arms over her chest, deliberately raised her chin higher than usual, circled her hair with her index finger, and put on a relaxed smile on her face.

"Don't misunderstand me. This is not a special favor to you. You are the first demon king I am responsible for, and I don't want to leave an unlucky stain on your career. After all, bronze-level demon kings are too weak, just like small fry. They are even worse than slightly stronger adventurers. You never know when they will die."

When saying this, the guy seemed to have accidentally bitten his tongue.

Although her way of expression was a little distorted, Luo Yan could tell that she cared about him, so he smiled and continued speaking.

"Yes, yes, you are right. An unreliable demon king like me might be gone someday. So in order to prevent my sacrifice from becoming a stain on your resume, I hope Miss Mia can take care of us in the future."

"Hehe...it's good that you know how weak you are. The front line is not a place to joke around. Now you should understand that I'm not trying to scare you, right?"

The hair at her temples was wrapped around her index finger again and again, and before she knew it, it had become a curling iron. Mia, who was thinking about something, coughed lightly, and suddenly spoke in a sympathetic tone.

"What do you think? If you've suffered enough, we can help you get back from the front line for the sake of our old classmates—"

"That's not necessary," Luo Yan smiled and politely declined the offer, and continued, "Thanks to your care, the cemetery is developing quite well now. By the way... that Ork is very useful, if there are other similar talents, please help me keep an eye out for them."

"Hmm... you're quite good at showing off." Mia's expectations were dashed, and the corners of her mouth trembled unconsciously, and she could not hold back her smug smile.

I had originally hoped that the youngest son of the Dragun family would take the blame, but now it seems that there is no need for them to even meet.

She quickly changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, you still don't have a place to live? Hehehe, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to feel sorry for you, I just think it's too pitiful for the bronze demon king to share a hotel with smelly goblins. How about this, I happen to have an empty house nearby, it's quite big, if you really have no place to live-"

Luo Yan said with a smile.

"I plan to stay at the temple on Nightmare on Elm Street in the west of Magic City, and visit Reverend Jeffrey. Please don't worry about my accommodation."

"!!!"

That smug smile could no longer be suppressed, and the expression on Mia's face was as if the sky had fallen, and even tears welled up in her eyes.

What is this operation? "That's right."

Luo Yan suddenly thought of something and took out a palm-sized, exquisitely packaged oak box from his bag and handed it to Mia.

"This is a gift for you... It can also be considered a thank you gift. It's just a token of my appreciation, not a token of respect. I hope Miss Mia won't refuse it."

"Oh hehe... a gift? Is it some kind of prank?" As Mia said this, she reached out and snatched it away, but that thought was purely based on her own judgment.

After staring at the oak box for a while, Mia didn't hesitate and opened the gift in front of her.

Soon, the light from the candlestick illuminated the treasure in the box, and the crystal clear light stunned her for a moment.

Diamond?! To be precise, it was a rough diamond of more than 100 carats, which was simply polished and as big as a candy! Mia's face turned red instantly.

Perhaps she couldn't hold it tight enough, and the tail that she had hidden suddenly popped out with a bang, swaying left and right behind her.

"Is this for me?! Isn't it too expensive?"

Sure enough, most women like shiny things, and the devil is no exception. As soon as Luo Yan saw Mia's reaction, he knew that he had made the right gift.

"It's not that valuable, I just got it by chance."

Scavenged from a guy named Budong.

Although the big guy was a little dumb, he was not really stupid. He obviously knew that large diamonds were more valuable than small ones, so he did not trade them to the Skull-Breaking Tribe.

In the end, Luo Yan got the advantage.

Seeing Mia's overjoyed look, he didn't say that he had a lot of similar things. If the daughter of the Padrich family wore jewelry made of it and appeared at the banquet of high-level demons, the diamonds in the cemetery might become the darling of the demon city.

This is a good thing for him too.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the teleportation room, and then the deputy director of the Demon King Management Department, Green, pushed open the door and walked in from outside.

"I'm sorry, I hope I didn't disturb you two, but please allow me to remind you that this is the public teleportation station of the Demon King Management Department... Perhaps we can go somewhere else to reminisce about the past?"

If there wasn't an express delivery to be sent to the Demon Lord's territory at the front line, he wouldn't mind letting the young lady from the Padrich family occupy the room for a while longer.

However, Mia, who was in a good mood, didn't bother with him. She happily hugged Luo Yan's arm and said with a grin.

"You're planning on going to the temple on Nightmare on Elm Street later, right? Take my car!"

Not expecting this guy to suddenly hug his arm, Luo Yan subconsciously dodged backwards, only to find that this guy was unexpectedly strong, and without any BUFF, he couldn't break free without exerting some strength.

At this time, the mixed fragrance of peach and black currant penetrated into his nostrils along the hair, with a faint smell of acacia honey.

"Is this...appropriate?"

Luo Yan looked at his senior for help.

However, the latter probably misunderstood something and didn't want to look at him at all, and even rolled his eyes at the candlestick next to him.

This guy is taking advantage of others and acting like a good kid.

I don't know how many demons want to climb the big tree of the Padrich family! Seeing that her boss didn't care about her early departure at all, Mia pulled Luo Yan's shoulder and dragged him out of the teleportation room with a smile.

"Stop dawdling and let's go!!"

…

In the suburbs of the Magic City, there is a small island in the middle of a lake surrounded by lava. In the center of the island sits a haunted manor, and in the center of the manor sits a spooky and terrifying castle.

The obsidian wall covered with killer vines was bathed in the murky light of the magma, like an arm crawling out from a sea of ​​corpses and bones.

The gorgeous carnivorous plant hanging under the windowsill is like an instrument of torture hanging in a torture chamber, emitting a creepy smell.

solemn.

style.

evil.

And fashion!

This is the Dragun family's manor in the Magic City, and it is also the most luxurious mansion nearby. It is said that the majestic demon statue in the center of the garden alone cost the first generation head of the family hundreds of millions of Keira!

It's not just about money.

The iron gate at the entrance of the manor is inlaid with a terrifying demon holding a battle axe - it is said that it is the emblem bestowed upon the Dragun family by the demon king Bayeli himself.

Although this ancient family has weakened in recent years, its strong foundation is still incomparable to that of ordinary demon families...

At this moment, a light was on in the room on the top floor of the tallest spire in the castle.

Kamu Dragun, the current head of the Dragun family, was sitting in front of a spacious desk, lighting a kerosene lamp and quietly flipping through a yellowed notebook.

It was a relic of his father, Reggie Dragun, and was handed to him by his grandfather, Zarok Dragun, who had long since resigned as the head of the family.

This notebook not only records some of the public deeds his father did during his tenure as the Demon Lord, but also some secrets that are not convenient for outsiders to know.

For example, research on theology, soul and other forbidden knowledge.

Another example is the research on the last king of the Isaac dynasty of the Kingdom of Ryan.

It was after studying these materials that he was surprised to find that he knew nothing about his father.

According to his father's research results, both gods and souls can be created artificially.

As early as a thousand years ago, a human king named Lint Isaac had done something similar, and thus angered the Church of Saint Sith and the Empire that regarded Saint Sith as its state religion!

If his father really understood the secret of becoming a god, the information would most likely be stored in the maze beneath Thunder County.

A trace of greed flashed across Kamu's face.

In hell, there is no demon that does not desire power! There is no demon that does not desire to become stronger! This deep desire for power is the reason why they obey the Demon God - because only the great Majesty Bayeli can make them stronger! And now, a new and unknown way is in front of him! With this way, he can not only become a more powerful existence without relying on the blessing of the Demon God, but even surpass the Demon God Bayeli himself!

Even become a new demon!

Speaking of which, before becoming a demon god, the demon god Bayeli seemed to be the demon king of a demon king territory on the front line...

Thinking of this, Kamu suddenly began to feel a little regretful.

The Dragun family should not have given up the Demon Lord's Territory in Thunder County.

Even if the human duke there is suspected to have the strength of a demigod, it does not mean that you have to fight a demigod when you go there.

Isn't the Demon King who took office there recently alive and well? I heard he's a bronze-level human.

Kamu had no doubt that even a bronze-level human could sit firmly on the throne of the Demon King, so no matter how badly a platinum-level demon like himself could do worse than that guy.

But it's too late to say this now.

You can't become the devil king just because you want to, or resign because you want to.

If that guy doesn't agree, even if a demigod comes, it will be impossible for him to spit out the throne of the devil from his mouth.

As for killing him? That would be equivalent to destroying the Demon King, which is no different from treason.

Kamu fell into deep thought.

Just then, a skinny giant bat landed on the windowsill and knocked on the tightly closed window with its skinny knuckles.

Click, click.

Kamu looked up at the servant standing on the windowsill, raised his index finger lightly, and the window bolt opened by itself, letting the giant bat standing on the windowsill in.

The moment the skinny bat landed on the ground, the pair of black wings turned into an elegant tuxedo and fell to the ground.

A thin and handsome man stood respectfully under the candlelight, nodded slightly towards the current head of the Dragun family, and reported in a hoarse voice.

"The Demon King of Thunder County is back."

His name is Ye Ge, an ordinary platinum-level demon. It is said that he has been serving the Dragun family for a long time.

Kamu glanced at Ye Ge who was standing under the candlestick, closed the notebook in his hand, stuffed it into the drawer of the desk, and continued in a casual tone.

"Got it, anything else?"

Ye Ge nodded and continued in a hoarse voice.

"Your brother, Xeno Dragun, has gone to see him again."

Hearing his brother's name, Kamu curled his lips and sneered.

"That fool."

"After all, he is your brother and a member of the Dragun family," Ye Ge reminded softly, and then continued in a hoarse voice, "Do you want me to bring him back?"

The nail of his index finger tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair. Kamu closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then suddenly spoke.

"That's not necessary."

Ye Ge's eyes flickered slightly.

"You mean..."

Kamu smiled faintly and said meaningfully.

"I heard that the situation in Thunder County seems to have changed. Grand Duke Campbell is bedridden, and the entire Principality of Campbell is caught in 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 it to fall into the hands of others."

His voice was calm.

One could not even hear much hatred towards Grand Duke Campbell, the murderer of his father.

A look of realization appeared on Ye Ge's face.

"I see. You want your brother to test the current demon king of the labyrinth below Thunder County for you, right?"

Kamu said with a cold smile.

"I just wanted to make that guy useful... For so many years, that idiot has never done anything useful except causing trouble for us. If he can become the Demon King, it can be considered a contribution to the Dragun family."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ye Ge lowered his head and said.

"I understand."

Kamu waved his hand.

"Go down if you understand."

Ye Ge did not leave, but continued speaking.

"I have one more thing to report... The eldest daughter of the Padrich family seems to be very interested in the demon king."

Kamu heard about this.

The two seemed to be classmates, and this was no secret.

He opened the drawer of the desk, took out the yellowed notes, and replied casually.

"Isn't that great? The Padrich family happens to have the ability to bring that 'gigolo' back from the front line."

Ye Ge said in a hoarse voice.

"But I heard... that demon king doesn't want to come back."

The hand that was turning the book pressed on the title page of the notebook, and Kamu Dragun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous light flashing in his pupils.

Don't want to come back?

Could it be that he discovered his father's research...

His expression was uncertain for a long time, and then he slowly spoke.

"I see."

Ye Ge bowed and nodded. He did not stay in the study room any longer. He transformed into a giant bat again and flew into the night outside the window.

…

At the same time, in the western district of the Demon City, a luxurious carriage passing through the center of the street attracted the attention of countless demons.

The Padrich family crest is not very easy for ordinary demons to identify, but the tall and upright Pegasus is not common in hell.

Even though this is a demon city where you can hit a few high-level demons with just a brick.

The demons were all guessing the identity of the nobleman sitting in the carriage and looked at him with envy.

However, at this moment, Luo Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, felt very uncomfortable, with tingling all over.

The reason was that Mia was too enthusiastic. Not only did she sit on the same side with him, but she also insisted on sitting in the middle of the seat, pushing him to the side of the door.

Facing Miss Mia who seemed to have endless things to say, Luo Yan had a decent smile on his face, but he was worried in his heart about how he was going to explain to Pastor Jeffrey that he had gotten off a succubus's car.

Most of the temple's acolytes hate succubi.

Reverend Jeffrey is no exception.

It is said that the reason for this is that since some year, a strange fashion trend has suddenly emerged in the circle of succubi in hell.

Driven by this popular trend, some succubi began to seduce clergymen in the temple, and they were proud of it, even proud of it.

According to some succubi, nothing can better prove the charm of a succubus than making an acolyte who has dedicated his soul to His Majesty the Demon Lord fall in love with her.

This is undoubtedly a bad taste.

Just like the money-grubbing businessmen's interest in Sister Sissi, or like diners who insist on eating protected animals even though they have normal food available.

Of course, it all came down to the Demon God's connivance - Bayeli never punished either party just because a high-level demon seduced the people in the temple.

Some of the demons in the Magic City are too extravagant.

Reverend Jeffrey made this comment more than once.

Looking at Luo Yan who was staring out the window and was distracted, Mia, who was talking dryly, couldn't help but pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. She stared at this distracted guy and moved her face closer to continue to oppress his "living space" in the car.

Just then, she suddenly found a cat hair on his collar, so she reached out and picked it up curiously.

Or a black one?

"You have a cat?"

Hearing Mia talking to him, Luo Yan responded subconsciously.

"I guess so. What's wrong?"

Mia covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Nothing, I just found a cat hair on you... Hehehe, I didn't expect the Demon King to have this hobby."

Luo Yan looked at the guy helplessly.

"Is it not possible?"

Mia said with a smile.

"How could that be? Speaking of which, I have never seen what cats on the surface look like. I'll go visit your Demon Lord some other day."

"Actually, it's not that different from hell." Thinking of those players who were yelling about succubus all day long, Luo Yan couldn't imagine how chaotic his Demon King's Territory would be after this guy went there.

Fortunately, the portal has two switches.

Without his permission, no one can fly into his territory without permission...

Just as the two were chatting, the slowly moving carriage finally arrived near Nightmare on Elm Street, and the solemn and dignified temple finally came into Luo Yan's sight.

Night had just fallen.

Devotees are leaving the temple after praying.

Coincidentally, Father Jeffrey was standing at the door of the temple, talking to a middle-aged man who was dressed simply and in a hurry.

Luo Yan had never seen that person before, and thought it should be a believer who had just finished praying.

However, it was not known whether it was his illusion, but the middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment when he looked at the carriage he was riding in. Then he hurriedly said goodbye to Priest Jeffrey, turned around and disappeared at the corner of the street on the side of the temple.

Is it because of the Padrich family? Luo Yan could only guess.

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.

As for why they don’t show their true face when they pray, it is unknown…

At this moment, neither the middle-aged man who disappeared in the alley, nor Priest Jeffrey who watched his back go away, nor Luo Yan who was sitting in the carriage, noticed that a pair of eyes hidden in the crowd were watching all of them.

That look was full of complexity.

A bit more gloomy...

After saying "thank you" to Mia, Luo Yan jumped off the parked carriage with his suitcase, only to see Mia following behind him.

Meeting Luo Yan's unexpected gaze, Mia covered her lips and chuckled.

"What's wrong? Am I not welcome here?"

"How could that be? This is the temple of His Majesty the Demon God... Any demon is welcome to see the glory of that Lord."

Luo Yan was feeling embarrassed and didn't know what to say, especially since Pastor Jeffrey was looking at him in surprise, and Mia was standing next to him.

As if on purpose, Mia patted his shoulder gently and said with a giggle.

"Then let's go. By the way, you haven't introduced me to your adoptive father 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 this, why—"

"Of course I know, but my dear classmate Luo Yan will explain it for me, right?" Mia blinked, "I am different."

Luo Yan looked at her with slight surprise.

Different? How?

He had never seen a succubus with purer blood than hers.

However, seeing how motivated Mia was, Luo Yan knew that if he didn't satisfy her, he wouldn't be able to spend these seven days in peace.

Just as he was about to walk towards Priest Jeffrey, a huge minotaur suddenly appeared in front of him.

To be precise, it was a fear demon, of the same species as Professor Ernos.

He had a pair of bull horns on his head, his angular face looked strong and powerful, and his tangled muscles made his clothes bulge out.

Because the figure appeared too abruptly, Luo Yan couldn't help but wonder how this guy could hide in the crowd without being discovered?

However, 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 revealed it because he could no longer hide it.

The surprise on Mia's face was even more exaggerated than Luo Yan's. Her eyes were wide open, as if she had found a fly drowned in cream on a delicious pastry.

"How did you find this place?!"

"Hahahaha," Shino Dragun laughed up to the sky and said proudly, "You don't think that only the Padrich family can look through other people's family tree books?"

Mia was stunned, her mouth open, unable to speak.

Is this something that can be said publicly?!

Luo Yan also looked at her in surprise.

"Your suitor?"

"No--"

Before Mia had the time to explain anything to Luo Yan, the 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 Great Cemetery, the false king of the Thunder County Labyrinth! Even if my cowardly brother gave up the inheritance of my father's Demon Lord Territory, it doesn't mean that the territory belongs to you! Even the cabinet cannot deny it, I also have the right of inheritance! And I didn't say I would give up!"

The demon didn't even give Luo Yan a chance to speak. He threw these words and spit on the ground, then took out a glove from his pocket and threw it on the ground as well.

"If you are confident that you can defend the Demon God's territory, then pick it up for me! If you don't have the courage and determination, then get out of here as far as you can! Hahahaha!"

(End of this chapter)
