Chapter 218: Blessings on Careers

"Ahem—alive!"

In the palace of the devil, in an inconspicuous cave, Yusi, who was lying on the stone bed, suddenly had a violent cough and woke up from his coma.

The veiled night elf retracted his outstretched right hand and the dark green light condensed at his fingertips.

At the same time, Missy, who was waiting nervously on the side, suddenly rushed forward and sobbed with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Yussi! Great! You're okay!"

After being hit on the chest by the pointed forehead, Yousi, who had just opened his eyes, almost rolled his eyes again. He pushed away Missy, who was crying and snotting, with a grimace.

"Ahem - be gentle! You idiot! I finally survived, do you want to send me away?!"

In the face of Yousi's grimacing shouts, Missy seemed not to hear them and just kept crying loudly.

fortunately!

This guy is still alive.

Although it was tempting to monopolize the king's favor, she felt that the food was not tasty without this guy to quarrel with her.

Looking at Yusi who came back to life and Missy with tears in her eyes, Sarah blushed and lowered her head, sincerely apologizing again.

"sorry……"

Looking at the cat girl who bowed her head to apologize, Yousi shook himself and stood up from the stone bed. He threw away Missy who was hanging on him, took two steps forward on his little feet, and patted her shoulder generously.

"It's okay, it's okay. After all, you are the Demon King's guard, and you have your own difficulties..."

Rubbing her butt, Missy climbed up from the stone bed and came over, cursing.

"That's right, Yusi's brain isn't working anyway! Maybe if you throw her a few more times, you can cure her."

"That's right! Huh?! What do you mean?!" Yousi nodded smugly, and when he was halfway through his words he suddenly reacted and pounced on him.

The two little devils were wrestling with each other, and one of them was not even wearing any clothes. The scene was really an eye-catching sight.

The veiled night elf girl looked at Sarah speechlessly, and said to her with her eyes -

"I'll leave this to you."

Although she wanted to return to the Demon King as soon as possible, Sarah nodded silently and agreed reluctantly.

“Well, leave it to me…”

…

The devil's palace, the solemn audience hall.

Luo Yan, sitting on the throne, looked at Xixi who was humming a song and shaking her legs.

It was hard to disturb him because of his happy look, but he had to get down to business after all, so he coughed lightly and spoke in a dignified voice.

"It's about time to come down."

"It seems that happy times are always short-lived. Thank you for the hospitality... I mean, thank you for the reward, my respected Demon King."

Although she looked reluctant, when she met Luo Yan's majestic gaze, Xixi still jumped off his shoulder obediently and landed steadily in front of the stairs to the throne.

Her dignified and virtuous appearance was completely different from her previous savageness, so much so that Luo Yan couldn't help but wonder if she was really stimulated by something, and couldn't help but worry about the mental health of his subordinates.

"You're welcome. Besides, it's okay for you to talk to me in your normal tone."

"What are you talking about? Haven't I always been like this, Dear Demon Lord?"

Xixi smiled softly with her rosy lips covered, then suddenly changed the subject and asked in a nonchalant manner.

"By the way, that blond-haired female gorilla has never done anything similar, has she?"

Luo Yan: “……?”

Something like that means sitting on shoulders?

With Erin Campbell's size, he could hardly imagine her sitting on half of his shoulder.

No offense meant.

This is purely from a physical point of view, and it should be impossible for any normal human being.

"It seems not... Hehe, please forgive my rudeness, please pretend you didn't hear it."

Seeing the Demon King's reaction, Sissi looked in a good mood and lifted her skirt to salute elegantly.

“Have a nice evening.”

The joyful voice disappeared into the shadows under the candlelight along with the petite figure, just like the moon leading into dark clouds, silently leaving the gloomy and majestic audience hall.

Luo Yan gathered his emotions for a moment, then faced the main entrance of the hall and spoke in a majestic voice.

"Come in."

At the same moment he finished speaking, joyful footsteps and clear, pleasant voices floated in from the door of the audience hall.

"Lord Demon King! You are finally back!" Shirley's eyes sparkled as she looked at the Demon King whom she had not seen for a long time.

"Shirley, be serious..." Helen followed her sister closely and scolded her harshly. Then she pulled her down on one knee and nodded, saying, "I'm sorry, Lord Demon, please forgive my sister's rudeness..."

"Please stand up. There's no need to be so serious." Looking at the embarrassed Helen and the unconvinced Shirley, Luo Yan smiled faintly and said in a gentle tone, "And I am also relieved to see you guys are so lively and cheerful. It seems that you have been doing well during my absence."

"It's all thanks to your wise decision." Helen nodded as she stood up from the ground.

Luo Yan looked at her and nodded.

"Thanks to you for watching over me. You worked hard while I was away."

"…It is our honor to serve you."

After receiving the praise from the devil, Helen's face flushed with a faint blush, while Shirley, who was standing next to her, showed a happy expression, her nose was so proud that it seemed to be raised to the sky, and her little mouth became talkative.

"It's really hard! Especially my sister. Seeing you standing next to that yellow-haired guy, her teeth are almost broken. Ugh—"

"What are you talking about! When have I ever... done that!" Helen's cheeks flushed as she covered Shirley's mouth with her hands. She looked so ashamed and angry that she almost wanted to eat her up.

Shirley struggled and whimpered, looking pitifully at the respected Demon King for help.

This guy was still the same as always, liking to make her sister angry, so much so that Luo Yan couldn't help but wonder if she enjoyed it.

After all, with her agility, it is quite difficult for Helen, a magician, to catch her.

"Okay, I understand your hard work. I will give you the deserved reward for your efforts at the banquet later."

"No, Lord Demon, I have no intention of offending you, nor do I mean to offend you because of that..."

"Offended? I don't think so." Looking at Helen who was explaining with a red face, Luo Yan coughed lightly, adjusted his expression, and continued, "Speaking of Irene Campbell, I want to ask you what you think of the troops under her command."

Although he could see their soul levels, the soul levels were only for reference and did not represent their true strength.

After all, even a guy like Baron Gus is at the silver level, and his wife's soul level is not low either, but together they probably can't beat Sarah, who had not yet awakened her extraordinary powers a year ago.

In contrast, Irene Campbell's personal guards are not all powerful transcendents, but when they stand together, they can burst out amazing combat power like a group of human mages casting spells together.

This kind of cohesion is probably the reason why the Human Empire can defeat demons that are far more powerful than them on the front battlefield one after another.

When Shirley heard Luo Yan talking about the battle more than a month ago, a confident smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that she did not take those defeated opponents seriously.

"They are just a bunch of ants. Lord Demon King, don't worry. With just one order from you, the warriors of the Grey Wind Tribe will be able to defeat them all without mercy, even without your minions taking action!"

Luo Yan turned his gaze to Helen, whose expression was obviously much more cautious than his sister's. After thinking for a moment, he answered seriously.

"Master Demon, although I believe that you are stronger than them, I still have to say that the strength of those humans should not be underestimated. Although we did not use our full strength that day, I believe they also held back."

"Yeah," Luo Yan nodded and said in a deep voice, "I noticed this too."

Although it is true that all the players on the field are professional life players, it is also a fact that none of Campbell's personal guards were captured or seriously injured.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In addition to Irene Campbell's own combat power, her followers also have impressive combat power.

No wonder Reggie Dragun was no match for them.

The lack of cohesion within the maze is probably not the only reason. Perhaps it is precisely because there is a huge gap in the strength of the two sides that the demons within the maze are not united.

Shirley pouted in dissatisfaction, obviously not completely agreeing with her sister's point of view, but she did not interrupt.

Helen paused for a moment and continued carefully.

"Also, Shirley and I discovered something when we were fighting the enemy knights."

Luo Yan remembered that they had a fight with Theresa, but because of the obstruction of the woods and the distance, he did not see the entire process of the battle.

"What's up?"

Helen said in a deep voice.

"The Knights of Saint Sith are different from adventurers. If they are of the same rank, it will be difficult for us to defeat them easily even if we are two against one. This reminds me of the previous battle between Reggie Dragun's men and the human knights, where monsters were often killed by those of higher ranks."

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, with an interested expression on his face.

Similar situations not only happen to the demons in hell, but also to the undead he summoned.

Often a skeleton soldier needs to reach the Black Iron level before he can surpass the old farmer of the empire in one or two attributes.

At first he thought it was a limitation of racial talent, but later he found that it was not entirely the case.

"What do you think is the reason?"

"I think it might be because of their faith," Helen paused for a moment and continued to express her opinion. "The following is just my guess. Saint Sith gave them not only the power of holy light, but also blessings for a certain profession or identity."

Is this kind of thing possible?

Luo Yan asked Youyou in his heart, and the latter gave an ambiguous answer after thinking seriously for a while.

"I think it should be possible, right? After all, the Book of Holy Words contains relevant records about divinely granted titles and knightly disciplines, and the various legends related to the Book of Holy Words have also endowed this profession with legendary power to a certain extent... These doctrines and legends have perhaps formed a kind of underlying logic after the sedimentation of time."

Luo Yan said silently in his heart.

"Can you explain it more clearly?"

Youyou continued.

"To put it simply, a large number of legends have endowed knights with powerful strength and physique, while also stipulating the knights' precepts. In other words, as long as a knight is granted a title by a noble and meets those conventional precepts, he or she can obtain the buff bonus provided by the knight profession."

Luo Yan couldn't help but look a little weird.

"So as long as we find a group of people to brag to, a certain profession will become stronger?"

Youyou, who was floating aside, shook her head and said.

"That's not the case. It's like the more people use the same supernatural power, the weaker the power becomes. If the streets are full of knights, then the strength of the knight profession will become that of adventurers. But on the contrary, if there are enough people who worship the profession of knights, and the number of knights themselves is scarce, they will be as powerful as dragons with thousands of wishes!"

"I see."

Luo Yan roughly understood what Youyou wanted to express.

The blessings bestowed on professions, like the extraordinary powers, are essentially the manifestation of the wish-making mechanism of some special substance on this planet or in this star field.

For any supernatural power system, the more people agree with it, the stronger the overall power will be. However, the more people use it, the less each person will get.

This actually has the same purpose as "economy".

The more people make the cake, the bigger it will be. The more people divide the cake, the smaller the share each person will get.

Luo Yan's heart moved.

"In that case, can I also create some professions and give them special powers to enhance their strength in a certain field?"

"It should be no problem! I heard that there were some mechanical wizards in the era of Lint Isaac! As long as they pass a specific inauguration ceremony, they can not only gain a stronger physique, but also communicate with any machine with a machine soul attached, thereby directly mastering the ability to manipulate the machine!"

Youyou spoke excitedly, but halfway through, she suddenly stopped talking and added something in a low voice.

"However, setting up such a profession will consume a lot of faith power, and it may also increase the maintenance costs... It is better for you to think it over before making a decision."

Luo Yan fell into deep thought, and after a long time he nodded, indicating that he understood.

With his current power of faith, he has a considerable surplus in both reserves and daily growth.

He planned to discuss this matter with the acolytes of the cemetery to see if he could build a few more "job transfer altars" in addition to the original reincarnation altars.

In addition, the blessing of the power of faith on the profession also provided him with another idea to weaken the combat effectiveness of the imperial knight class.

It is enough to weaken people's faith in them.

Looking at the night elf sisters waiting quietly at the bottom of the stairs, Luo Yan spoke.

"This clue is very valuable. I will discuss countermeasures with my staff later."

After a pause, he continued.

"Another thing, I want to know how your research on artificial humans has progressed while I was away?"

When Helen heard this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I was planning to report this work to you."

"As you instructed, the first batch of test subjects has been completed."
