Chapter 35: Under the Nine Grounds

In the forest, Vincent stayed up all night.

The young demon prince was sitting under a tree, playing with the gadgets in his hand carelessly and not talking to anyone.

However, as soon as there was a slight movement around him, he immediately raised his head and looked around nervously.

Some of his subordinates with certain intelligence can see that His Highness is not as indifferent as he said.

If the lord is worried about something, it must be the blond girl he calls "toy" every day.

Only she can accomplish this, but the danger is inevitable.

Those who have been following the lord, such as the giant scythe and the Lich leader, have never seen him so uneasy.

Maybe the lord himself didn't realize that he would care so much about an ordinary human woman, right?

"Your Majesty, our earth-burrowing worms should be back soon." Seeing that the lord was nervous, the leader of the lich reported the situation, "It should be faster to come back than when we left."

"Lich Sage, you don't have to worry about me." Vincent said calmly, "You have reported this for the third time."

But this time, the Lich leader was right.

Not long after he finished speaking, the ground began to shake slightly. As the shaking became stronger and stronger, the expressions of the monsters became excited.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Several lichs ordered to the skeletons and monsters, "make room for the worms."

The ground covered with grass and low shrubs began to slowly rise. A fleshy, hairless giant creature broke through the soil. When its carriage-sized head fell, the ground shook.

The thick and long worm's neck twitched a few times like it was chewing the cud, and suddenly opened its terrifying disk-like mouth, revealing dozens of densely packed teeth and a dark mouth.

After two sounds of "plop" and "plop", the two people covered in saliva and mucus were spit out by the giant worm.

One is a blond girl wearing black clothes, and the other is an orc girl with leopard ears and tail.

Unfortunately, due to the poor underground air quality and the lack of comfort in the worm's mouth, the girls have already fainted.

Vincent, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, bent down and placed Niniya in a head-down position, twisting her slender neck to tilt her head to one side.

"Learn what I do." Vincent told his men, "Let the orc also maintain this posture, and then use the healing spell."

Then, Vincent took off her wet tight top and wrapped her body in his cloak.

Fortunately, as the surrounding environment improved, the girl's chest began to rise and fall,

Vincent breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped Niniya's face covered with mucus.

After a while, Niniya's beautiful face appeared in front of him again.

"Owner……"

Niniya opened her eyes and saw herself lying in the lord's arms, and her body tensed up involuntarily.

"You don't need to speak, just restore your strength first." Vincent smiled at Niniya and said, "You have done a good job this time."

The joy of surviving the disaster, coupled with the sense of security brought by the familiar people around her, made Niniya feel indescribable warmth, and even the demon master became smiling.

"Where's Elsa?" Niniya suddenly remembered something important and struggled to remember, "Is she okay?"

"She is fine. I thank you on behalf of her and her brother."

Vincent motioned her to look at the petite half-orc girl. There was already a lich over there using the healing scroll sent by the church to treat Elsa.

Although Elsa's body was covered with new and old injuries, the orc's physical strength meant that although she did not wake up, her life was not in danger.

"Did I do it?" Niniya closed her eyes tiredly, but a naughty smile appeared on her lips, "I finally did a good thing."

Could it be that everything I asked you to do before was bad?

Vincent resisted the thought of complaining and picked up the exhausted Niniya, feeling a big stone fall to the ground in his heart.

Does this count as an explanation to Sadaka?

After you go back, you must ask the little girl about Luke.

The crime of illegally detaining women and children is definitely a serious crime that should be punished according to law!

"Don't yell!" Vincent stood up and ordered his subordinates who were about to cheer, "The worms have worked hard, give them a reward!"

A group of skeletons carried several large deer and wild boars that they had hunted, and slowly walked to the worm's huge mouth.

The worm seemed to smell the smell of blood, and twisted its head excitedly, raised its mouth to the sky, and rubbed its teeth back and forth, appearing impatient.

The skeleton lifted the prey and threw it directly into the worm's mouth. The worm's neck began to expand, and then quickly returned to its original shape as the food was swallowed.

"I will call you when I need you next time." Vincent patted the worm's head a few times and said with satisfaction, "Now, go to the dark underground and have a good sleep."

The worm shook its head meekly, and then slowly sank into the soil.

"Let's go." Vincent said to his men, "Let's go back to the castle and entertain our new friends."

Before the main city gate opened, Vincent had already entered Silver Dragon Castle through the side gate without causing any movement.

For the people, since the lord had already announced that he was going out for hunting, they didn't think it was worth making a fuss about the person who notified him coming in and out of the city.

The only thing that can be called a regret is probably that Miss Niniya from the lord's family has not shown up in the past two days.

Back at the castle, Vincent immediately asked Miss Bones to take care of Niniya and Elsa.

I had done a big thing, I had no worries, and just had a good sleep.

When he woke up, Vincent found that it was already evening.

The daylight gradually disappeared in the horizon, and the setting sun cast the faint light of sunset on the window. The house was quiet, as if everything was unreal.

The giant scythe is definitely in the house. He can hide his figure and will not come out to disturb unless necessary.

This lonely scene triggered the long-buried sadness in Vincent's heart.

Coming into this world alone, no one knows my loneliness, and my future is difficult and unpredictable.

Looking up at the ceiling that was no longer unfamiliar to him, Vincent sighed slightly.

"Owner."

A girl's timid voice suddenly appeared from the corner of the bed.

Needless to say, it must be Ninja Wald.

Vincent sat up and saw Niniya, who had changed her clothes and dressed up again, and was standing at the foot of the bed tremblingly.

Although she wanted to hide it, Vincent could still see that her eyes were a little sleepy, one side of her blond hair was a little uneven, and there were traces of sleep on her arms where her face was pillowed.

It seems that she didn't know when she came to him, but she was too tired, so she lay down beside her bed and fell asleep.

She slept so soundly, which showed that this silly girl was completely unprepared for the demon lord.

"Are you asleep?"

"I'm sorry, Master, I've been waiting for a long time. You are still sleeping, so I will..."

"Then you go on sleeping, I'll go see that...Elsa."

Seeing that Vincent wanted to leave, Niniya hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.

"Master, she is now..."

"What's wrong?"

Vincent noticed something strange in her expression and tone.
