Karan lowered his head deeply and didn't say a word at this moment.
Not responding? Looks like you're tired of talking to me?
"No, I wouldn't dare."
After a pause, Karan said in a slightly lower voice:
"But, Sage, please... don't bully me too much."
Faced with the unknown, even the Flame Demon Queen, the Demon Lord, placed herself in an exceptionally low position.
Even after many years, there is no so-called advantage of being a woman.
Unconsciously, the voice carried a hint of pleading and an almost imperceptible coquettishness...
Hearing this, the sage laughed, raised an eyebrow, reached out and gently lifted the queen's chin, and said with a smile:
[Bullying you? Well, I won't deny that, after all... isn't it quite fun?]
【You're a queen now, why are you suddenly acting like such a timid woman?】
With his head bowed, Karan's tension eased somewhat, but he remained respectful.
“Before you, I dare not call myself a king.”
[What's there to be afraid of? Even if I were to call myself king, what difference would it make?]
Anyway, it's not bad for me.
Just as I expected.
Having interacted with the sage so many times, Karan has gained some understanding of his personality.
The other party is usually quite easy to talk to, unless it's something particularly serious.
Although she couldn't figure out what he was thinking, as long as she didn't cross the line, she was generally not a difficult person to communicate with.
only……
Judging from the conversation just now, the sage seems to already know what happened before and doesn't need to be told again.
Was she always keeping an eye on her clients? Or was she actually watching from the scene the whole time?
If it's the latter, then the other person really has a twisted sense of humor.
Whatever the truth may be, the divine scroll maker was indeed favored and watched over by the sage.
The man they had never met was not lying.
Or rather, the fact that the other party possesses the means to summon him is enough to explain the situation.
Demons are more than willing to answer any call to fight and kill in places beyond the abyss, regardless of who the enemy is.
Even legendary demons will respond positively to legendary spells that can summon them.
The demon lords were not surprised. Since their main bodies were not usually able to leave their own plane, it was a pleasant experience for them to use their avatars to go to other planes when summoned.
Therefore, Kalan responded to the call that was very clear to him.
I thought he was a legendary demon spellcaster who wanted to show off his power.
Then they encountered such a special guy.
...Speechless.
Why don't you just come up and introduce yourself?
They insisted on waiting until I finished speaking before replying, and didn't give me a chance to respond at all.
That chosen one doesn't seem to be a good person either.
What are you thinking about?
Upon hearing the sage's question, Kalan stopped thinking about how to get along with the "chosen one" and looked at the smiling sage.
Karan knew exactly what to do at this point.
Without offering any explanation or speaking ill of the person who had been asked to write the answer, she simply made one move.
"It's not an important matter."
Bowing his head deeply, almost prostrate on the ground, Kalan kissed the sage's toes once more, humbly saying:
"I will always be your most loyal servant."
At this point, all you need to do is express your opinion.
How to handle this matter is her responsibility, not something she should propose herself.
【……Yeah. 】
As if he had lost interest in Karan's actions, some of the pleasure in the sage's voice faded, but he certainly didn't continue teasing him.
Okay, that's settled then... So, besides this, is there anything else you need to tell me?
"I have a request."
"I would like to ask you to pass this on to him."
Taking a dark red scale armor piece from his robes, Kalan respectfully held it up with both hands and bowed his head, saying:
"As long as he has this when he sets up the summoning circle, I will definitely respond to his call."
"Definitely."
He smiled and took the scales from her hand.
Hehe, I'll pass it on to him.
...
...
With a light laugh, Ning Feng toyed with the dark red scales in his hand, sensing the special power contained within them.
"What an interesting response."
"She's even more interesting than I thought."
Even with human blood extracted, her thought patterns are still more human.
More than a demon, she's like an ambitious woman with a strong, independent mindset.
He was greedy when he should be, but also decisive when he should retreat, without any lingering attachment.
"He neither offended the sage nor did he offend me; in fact, he approached me with the demeanor of a humble servant, but in reality..."
Feeling the scales on what part of his body he didn't know, Ning Feng smiled happily.
"He's not exactly honest either."
Divinity.
Within these scales lies a trace of the demon's divinity.
The other party bestowed divinity upon them.
This move may seem generous, but it's also a way of putting pressure on people.
Let's see if Ning Feng can resist the influence of divinity.
A small return gift.
If the other party cannot even bear this much divinity, then there's no need to communicate in that equal tone anymore.
Moreover, through the sage's intervention, this move was transformed into a perfectly legitimate scheme under her watchful eye.
Is it a choice to show favoritism?
Or should they choose to let their two subordinates secretly compete against each other?
"Although it's more troublesome, it's more interesting to have pieces with their own identity."
Meow meow meow~
The black cat yawned as it crawled out of Ning Feng's shadow, finally settling on his lap and asking:
[Could you please tell me, what's it like to be both a god and your own chosen one?]
"It was alright, quite interesting."
"Actually, there's no particular reason. It's just that as her value increased, I naturally had more contact with her."
"If I were to continue communicating with her directly as a sage, it would be somewhat... unbecoming of my status."
As a sage, she can issue divine pronouncements and do amazing things at will.
She is powerful and mysterious, with a willful freedom.
But there shouldn't be too many of those things, otherwise it will reduce her sense of pressure.
Even though Kalan, who has just become the Demon Lord, has no doubt about the Sage's strength, there is always a possibility that some oversights may occur in the long run.
Moreover, as is the case now, Karan is increasingly hesitant to express his own thoughts.
It's really boring.
"And the identity of the Divine Scroll Master can represent the sage's will and also make her less nervous. Doesn't that sound pretty good?"
