Chapter 240 A Date with Many Twists and Turns
In a corner of the commercial street, Baron Avisler, holding the arm of a tall demon girl, was talking about his "glorious achievements" in elementary school.
However, his audience was obviously not that interested. While Avisler was talking nonstop, the demon girl couldn't help yawning, her eyes were dazed, and she looked like she would fall asleep at any moment.
At this moment, Avisler caught a glimpse of a familiar face out of the corner of his eye. He was suddenly as excited as if he had discovered a new continent, and flames seemed to burst out between his brows.
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
Seeing the sudden burst of flames, the demon girl was startled and jumped away quickly as if she had been electrocuted.
However, Avisler ignored it.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on the man who was less than ten meters away from him.
"...I didn't expect you to be such a person! Hahahaha, I really misjudged you, Mr. Luo Yan. I thought you were deeply in love with Miss Mia, so I reluctantly gave up on her and silently blessed you two in my heart, but I didn't expect that after just a few days of not seeing you, you were actually dating another woman on the commercial street!"
Avisler's face was filled with a smile of victory, as if he had grasped a huge handle.
He seemed to have completely forgotten that he was doing the same thing at this moment.
--Dating?!
The moment she heard this word, Vivian's face turned red and steam seemed to be floating above her head.
She was already a little annoyed when this random guy suddenly appeared, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the name "Mia". However... what this guy said made sense.
Date... hehehe...
Vivian secretly glanced at Luo Yan, lowered her head shyly, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised up, almost to the sky.
Baron Avisler didn't know that his casual words inexplicably saved half his life.
Luo Yan looked at the fire demon in front of him who had popped out from nowhere with an expressionless face, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Who are you?"
There are so many species in hell. Even the demons with a low degree of mixed blood are okay, but the terror demons are already a bit difficult for them, not to mention the fire demons.
Of course, he was referring to face blindness.
Baron Avisler didn't expect that Luo Yan didn't recognize him. His eyebrows twitched violently, and his whole face flushed like magma.
However, as a noble who prided himself on being elegant, he suppressed his inner anger, took a deep breath, and tried to maintain his composure.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is...I feel sorry for Miss Mia."
"You know her well?"
"It's...it's okay. She...she should have heard of my name...haha." Baron Avisler's eyebrows continued to twitch, and the expression on his face gradually became unbearable.
——That means I don’t know him at all.
Luo Yan looked helplessly at the little character who jumped out.
Originally he thought that it was someone from the Dragun family who was spying on him secretly, but before the other party showed up, a strange guy showed up first.
It seems that the aftereffect of that birthday party was greater than he imagined.
Unlike Baron Avisler, the demon girl standing next to him had a hint of excitement in her eyes.
"You...you are Mr. Luo Yan? I...I'm Sandra Lustway, very...nice to meet you..."
Her cheeks flushed slightly, the horns on her head swayed gently, and her expression was full of admiration and joy, like a fan seeing her idol.
Luo Yan nodded, but before he could say anything, Vivian, who was holding his arm, glared back at the annoying fire demon with a murderous look on her face.
Due to the continuous triggering of Mia's keywords, her originally relatively stable spirit exploded again.
"Where did the wild dog come from? Oh my god... Luo Yan is not a human!"
That was a close call!
He almost exposed the scandal of Colin's family.
Vivian was so proud of her clever change of words for a second that she didn't notice that Luo Yan beside her was almost choked to death by his saliva.
The Flame Demon standing opposite was also stunned for a moment, opening his mouth but unable to speak for a while.
Perhaps because he recognized Vivian's identity, his arrogance instantly weakened and his neck shrank back.
"Miss Colin? Why are you here?"
"Don't you have eyes? Date, date!" Vivian's face flushed. She tightly grasped Luo Yan's arm for fear of being thrown away. At the same time, she glared at Baron Avisler with gritted teeth, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Baron Avisler stared at her in amazement, then turned his head woodenly to Luo Yan, his eyes full of jealousy - even resentment.
Why! A mere human not only won the favor of Miss Padridge, but also got close to the eldest daughter of the Colin family! On the other hand, not only did he not get an invitation to Miss Mia's birthday party, but he was also thrown out by those servants who looked down on others! He hated it so much! Ahhh! Avisler felt a flame in his throat, and the flame crystal seemed to be burning.
He took a deep breath, took out a burnt black glove from his pocket, and threw it on the ground with a thud.
"Mr. Luo Yan, I want to duel with you!"
Looking at the gloves on the ground, Luo Yan was slightly stunned, then looked at Avisler with a strange expression, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Are you serious?"
A leisurely shadow appeared beside Luo Yan, watching the fun and cheering him on.
"Beat him! Beat him! Lord Demon, I can see that his soul level is only silver at best!"
Avisler raised his chin slightly.
"What? Are you scared?"
Noticing the movement here, passers-by stopped and cast interested glances over here.
Luo Yan smiled lightly and waved his wand. A skinny skeleton hand emerged from the ground and picked up the gloves on the ground.
"I just think it's a waste of time and disturbs my date with my dear...Miss Vivian."
That was a close call.
He almost exposed the Colin family scandal himself.
Suddenly, Luo Yan felt his arm sink, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw a vampire hanging on his arm. The ears exposed outside his hair were as red as red-hot horseshoes, and his face... was completely covered by his hair.
Um……
Did I say something wrong? Seeing Miss Colin, who was said to be as ferocious as a dragon, being turned into this petite lady, Baron Avisler became more and more jealous and said with gritted teeth.
"Very good, in three days we will be at the arena in the Magic City—"
Luo Yan shook his head.
"Don't bother yourself, just go to a nearby park."
"Ah?" Avisler was stunned for a moment, with a look of bewilderment on his face. "Now, now?"
He glanced quickly at Miss Sandra beside him and gave her a questioning look.
However, the latter just looked at him coldly, pretending not to be familiar with him.
Luo Yan raised his eyebrows.
"Are you scared?"
It is also possible to regret.
Luo Yan actually hoped that this guy would give up when he saw the difficulty.
He had no interest in the weak, and the reason he chose the park was to give this guy some face.
The Dragun family has more than one title, so it doesn't matter if they lose a barony, but Avisler may really only have one baron title, and if he loses it, he will really become a commoner.
However, there are few people with normal brains in hell. Avisler clenched his fists, and anger instantly rose to his forehead.
"Afraid? Human, you're playing with fire!"
"I'm not interested."
Luo Yan turned his gaze to the park next to the commercial street.
"Then let's make it quick and decisive."
Extraordinary combat power is not equivalent to absolute strength.
Although this guy's strength seems to be at the silver level, he is essentially no different from Baron Gus. Both are good-for-nothings. At most, the former has trained seriously.
After all, hell is a place where the strong are respected. It is not as rule-based as human society. An aristocrat without extraordinary powers can run rampant in his own territory, and no one dares to disobey him. However, a demon without extraordinary powers, even if he has the title of aristocrat, may be bullied by other demons with extraordinary powers in his own territory.
Luo Yan calls this "server culture."
He is a flexible person who can easily adapt to both the gameplay of Hell and the gameplay of the surface.
The group moved to the park, and the surrounding demons and undead gathered around them, obviously very interested in this duel.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Vivian reluctantly let go of Luo Yan's arm and whispered.
"Be careful... I'll be waiting for you right next to you."
Before she finished her words, she glared at Avisler fiercely, her eyes like a ferocious hellhound.
Baron Avisler couldn't help but shudder.
He was not afraid of Luo Yan, after all, he was also a baron, and his status did not give him an advantage. As for the Demon King, that was a position, just like the Governor, who only had a specific authority in a specific place, and was nothing in the Demon City.
But this young ancestor of the Colin family...
Her reputation in the aristocratic circles of Magic City is no joke.
This guy is a madman who is invincible among his peers and dares to show his teeth to everyone! However, now that things have come to this, he has no way out.
His only chance now is to defeat Luo Yan severely in this duel and make Miss Colin face reality.
He had to let her see clearly that the man in front of her was nothing but a playboy.
Look here, Padrich—No, Miss Colin! He is not worthy of your favor!
Baron Avisler regained his fighting spirit, cleared his throat, and read in a rhythmic voice.
"My name is Avisler Lele, Lord of the Barony of Blackthorn Hill, a member of the Stonewell Magical Species Observation Association, Honorary Vice President of the Fire Demon and Goblin Friendship Cooperation and Exchange Association, Secretary General of the Goblin Torture Research Association..."
After reading more than a dozen titles in a row, Baron Avisler finally slowly pulled out a short scepter inlaid with rubies.
Luo Yan looked at him expressionlessly, ready to let him make the first move, but he saw that the chattering mouth did not utter a spell, but squeezed out an opening remark.
"…This duel is about honor, loyalty, and the purity and nobility of blood!"
"I want everyone in the Magic City to know that the loyalty of love is sacred and cannot be betrayed, and the dignity of the nobility is sacred and cannot be questioned!"
"..." Luo Yan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he put down the raised magic wand again.
He wasn't the only one who was speechless.
Miss Sandra, feeling embarrassed, shyly slipped into the crowd of onlookers nearby, while Miss Vivian, who was standing at the edge of the crowd, couldn't help but yawn a second time.
Seeing that no fight had broken out for a long time, some demons in the crowd could not help but leave, and then new demons and undead came up curiously.
An old demon soldier with scars on his face came over and whispered to the goblin next to him.
"What is this guy talking about?"
"I don't know... It seems to say that the dignity of the nobility is sacred and cannot be questioned, and it cannot be betrayed."
“This guy…”
The demon veteran couldn't help but clench his fists, gritted his teeth but couldn't refute, while the grumpy hell dwarf next to him couldn't help but speak.
"The dignity of the nobility is sacred and cannot be violated... Do we, the warriors who have shed blood for Hell, have to endure your wanton trampling and ravage? You scum, you are the traitors who betrayed the devil!"
Bulger, who had just come out of the tavern, was already full of anger. Looking at the Fire Demon Baron who was standing there with a righteous look on his face and making convincing arguments, he immediately vented his anger.
Hearing Bulger's voice, the demons, hell dwarves and even goblins who were also on the bottom floor nearby also started shouting.
“That’s right!”
"The honor of the nobility is inviolable. Is our honor not honor?"
"You are a coward hiding behind glory! Have you ever been on the front line for a day?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"You are enjoying the glory of peace, yet you dare to brazenly challenge the Demon King! Why don't you go fight the humans on the surface?"
"What?! This guy wants to duel with the Demon King?"
"Hehe, isn't it... just a lackey of the hearing."
The only thing to blame is that Baron Avisler talked too much nonsense, and the goblins watching didn't have such a long train of thought, so they were confused and only remembered the part they wanted to hear.
What noble glory, what violation... in short, it's just a few words.
Adding to the news they had read recently in the newspaper, they didn't even need to listen to Avisler's explanation. They automatically made up a "logical" story in their heads.
This shameless baron is defending the honor of the nobility!
And the poor Demon King was the target of persecution by the nobles headed by Baron Avisler! Looking at the angry demons and undead, Baron Avisler was confused.
What the hell are the lackeys at the hearing?
But rather than being confused, he felt more annoyed.
The baron of Black Wind Castle was fine, but how dare these guys talk to me like that? "What are you barking about, you little bitches! Don't you have anything to do?"
These words instantly ignited the anger of the demons.
"I'm off work!"
"Have you ever done any fucking work?"
"Damn it... The Demon King just said a few words for us, do you really want to kill him?"
"The Demon God will not support you! Oh, by the way... the Demon King was appointed by the Demon God himself!"
"If you want to touch us, Demon King... you have to step over our dead bodies first!"
"That's right! Protect the Demon Lord!"
"For the Demon King! For His Majesty the Demon!"
“Ohhhh!”
As the saying goes, there is power in numbers.
Standing in the middle of the demon group, even the most timid goblin became as bold as a drunken hell dwarf, not to mention that they had found the logical legality in just a few words - they were upholding the dignity of the demon god!
Under the influence of the demon swarm, the angry veterans of Hell and the goblins who took advantage of the situation rushed towards Baron Avisler.
Even though he had silver-level strength, Baron Avisler panicked for a moment and hastily swung the scepter in his hand.
"You are asking for your own death! Roaring flame, please obey my call and punish these rude people!"
Roaring flames surged out from the ruby on the top of the scepter and condensed into two powerful fire elemental spirits on the obsidian road.
The burly body was like a city wall, protecting Baron Avisler in the middle, and then he slapped the veterans of Hell who were rushing over with a palm as big as a city gate.
Several hell dwarves were knocked off their feet and flew backwards, falling to the ground with a thud.
However, not long after, dozens of water arrows flew in from all directions, pouring water on the two fire elemental spirits like urine, making them smoke and howl in pain in the steam.
Baron Avisler waved his scepter in a hurry, and dozens of fireballs gathered above his head. However, before he could throw them out, he was hit by the oncoming stones and retreated repeatedly, looking like he could not resist.
This guy perfectly illustrates what it means to be outnumbered by two fists.
The demons besieging him were at most steel grade, with more than half being black iron or even ordinary. As a result, after only two rounds, this silver grade fire demon could no longer hold out.
"That's enough! I'm going to hang you all! Damn it - you're ruining the sacred duel!"
"Wait a minute - this is a misunderstanding! I'm here for Miss Padridge. What exactly is this hearing you're talking about?"
"Stop it! I'm saying this for the last time! This is your last chance to avoid punishment! Otherwise--"
"Damn it! Do you guys listen to people or not? Are your brains like burrow spiders?!"
Baron Avisler roared in frustration, but no one listened to him.
In a sense, this is also a kind of retribution.
This guy who always talked to himself and never listened to what others said finally met a group of "equally matched" players.
These people, like him, have no more than three lines of "code" in their heads.
And his threats were of no use at all. After all, there were too many demons and undead besieging him, and he himself was not a powerful noble.
Even if it is to appease the anger of these veterans of Hell, the parliament’s final choice will most likely be to turn a blind eye rather than to uphold justice for an insignificant person.
Not to mention he wasn't that reasonable.
Looking at Baron Avisler who was roaring in frustration, Luo Yan put away the wand in his hand with a strange expression.
Although he didn't know what happened, it seemed that he didn't need to take any action.
At the same time, Vivian, who was standing on the edge of the demon group, stared at him intently with shining eyes.
As expected of you, my brother! He only needed to make a slight move - no, he didn't even make a move at all, and just relied on the majesty of the demon king to press his opponent to the ground and trample and rub him...
So cool!
Not far away, Baron Avisler was forced into hand-to-hand combat with a group of Hell veterans.
He had just knocked down an undead warrior with one punch when he was kicked hard on the butt by the hell dwarf who rushed up from behind.
He cursed angrily and activated the power of the Fire Demon's bloodline, then turned around and slapped the thick-skinned and tough Steel-level Hell Dwarf, but the latter just snorted lightly without even breaking his defense.
At this time, the undead warrior who had been knocked down by him before had staggered to his feet and rushed forward with a roar.
"For justice!"
Avisler: “???”
You guys beat me up, and you dare to ask for justice?! In less than five minutes, Baron Avisler was beaten black and blue, with red and black spots on his face, his clothes torn, and he lay on the ground in a mess.
This group of commoners did not dare to actually beat the nobles to death.
Seeing that he had lost his fighting ability, they all let go, and then someone blew a whistle, and they all fled... and took away Baron Avisler's ruby scepter and other jewels on his body.
The guard who was patrolling nearby hurried over, helped Baron Avisler up from the ground, and asked in panic.
"My Lord, are you all right?"
Baron Avisler had a dark face, brushed the dust off his clothes, and said with gritted teeth.
"I am fine……"
It would do him no good to hold a group of poor people accountable; instead, it might make his scandal spread throughout the entire city.
After struggling for a while between saving face and upholding justice, he finally chose face despite the humiliation.
Wait for me...
Avisler looked at the demon king fiercely, but was stunned to find that the latter had disappeared.
This guy didn't even watch him get beaten to the end, and he left at some point in the process.
Baron Avisler's face turned red, his lips trembled with anger, and the Flame Crystal almost exploded.
The guards nearby looked at each other, not daring to ask any more questions, let alone speak.
At the same time, not far from the group of people, Elsabel, who was hiding in the shadows, witnessed all this and excitedly shook her heart-shaped tail, as if she had discovered a treasure in the maze.
Before, she had been secretly following the devil, hoping to find a chance for an interview, but she didn't expect that she didn't get the chance for an interview, but instead got to eat such a big bite of sweet potato.
"In order to defend the dignity of the hearing, Baron Avisler challenged the Demon King to a duel... In order to defend their own dignity and the glory of the Demon God, the righteous veterans of Hell bravely stood in front of the Demon King... Haha... It's simply perfect!"
Holding the video crystal in her hand, Elsabel's cheeks flushed with intoxication.
However, just as she was fantasizing about the news that was within her reach, a calm voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"Taking secret photos is not a good habit. Although I don't mind, the Colin family will not like a sneaky little mouse following their little master."
Elsabel shuddered all over, and her tail stood up like an antenna.
She turned around tremblingly, and as expected, she was met with a pair of deep purple eyes.
"Demon, Lord Demon King..."
Her body was completely stiff, her calves were trembling, and she almost collapsed.
Luo Yan looked at her with a half-smile and reached out to take the video crystal ball from her hand.
He originally thought that it was the Dragun family who were secretly observing him, but he didn't expect that the Dragun family would care a little about their eating manners. Today, he actually encountered some small characters who didn't know how to live or die.
The guy who secretly took photos of the little ancestor of the Colin family is even braver than Baron Avisler.
Does this person have no relatives in hell? As for why he knew that this guy had no connection with the Dragun family, it was because the newspaper logo on the crystal ball had betrayed her identity.
This guy is actually a reporter! Vivian yawned and looked at the reporter who was taking the photo secretly, with sleepy eyes as if she was looking at a bat hanging on a tree.
"Dear... Mr. Luo Yan, how about leaving this succubus to me?"
What she hated most was the succubus.
These fishy vixens spend all their time seducing other people's brothers.
And this guy was even more outrageous, he even dared to secretly take photos of her respected and beloved brother...
The crime is even more serious! Luo Yan looked at Baron Avisler in the distance, and then looked at the reporter in front of him who was weak in the knees.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly understood something and a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Let me handle it."
