Thirty kilometers away from the Demon King's City, there was the first human village.
This journey is not short at all. It takes half a day to take a carriage, and it will be dark when we get back.
However, Jiang Li insisted on going, as if no one could stop me, so Yasaka Airi could only accompany him.
"Why do we have to go to the village?"
On the way, Yasaka Airi found two unicorns wandering in the wild.
She used the ability of monster protection to instantly strengthen the two unicorns to the cadre level, allowing them to move as fast as a car and carry the two people towards the village.
"Just going to have a look."
Jiang Li's tone was vague and his attitude was obviously perfunctory.
"Speaking of which, does your protective ability come from the same source as the old devil?"
He diverted Yasaka Airi's attention and directed the conversation to her abilities.
If you really want to say it, this monster's ability to protect is quite buggy. In an instant, you can create an Orario first-level adventurer or something, which is completely a plug-in level of power!
"Yes."
Yasaka Airi nodded and admitted this.
"Where is the source?"
"ancestor."
"What's it called?"
"I didn't know for a long time."
Yasaka Airi shook her head.
She didn't lie.
The name of the ancestor who was also suspected to be a reincarnation from Neon has long been lost in history, and even her direct descendants and the old devil have long forgotten it.
Jiang Li had some guesses in his mind.
In this case, their ancestor named Yasaka, like Mitsurugi Kyouya, was probably a reincarnated person who received a plug-in from a so-called "beautiful goddess" and was sent to this world.
But later, for some unknown reason, he chose to become the Demon King and pass on his bloodline and abilities to his direct descendants.
As evidence, Yasaka Airi is obviously a hybrid of ghosts in this world, but she still has long black hair, which is the characteristic of a reincarnated person.
I don't know if it is due to genetic selection, but she is also very good-looking, with very regular facial features, especially her long legs that are quite eye-catching, with good shape and appropriate proportions.
"I remember the old devil said that your protection has surpassed him and can cover an army of dozens of people, right?"
"That's right."
"Is the level of protection inferior to him?"
As soon as the words came out.
Yasaka Airi froze suddenly and looked at him in disbelief.
"No such thing!"
She turned her head quickly and spoke in a tight tone.
"The power you gave to these two unicorn horses and the power the old devil gave to the mimic monster are not on the same level. Do you think I can't notice it?"
Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the horse.
It seems to be swaying and could fall down at any time, but it always stays on the horse's back.
His inquiring eyes fell on Yasaka Airi's slender and tall back.
If the power that the old devil gave to the mimic monster in the treasure house was 100%, then the power that Yasaka Airi gave to the Unicorn was 90%.
After learning the Wing Sword and perfectly controlling his body, Jiang Li could see through the ups and downs of his opponent's aura, movement of his internal organs, and the health of his bones at a glance.
His eyes alone have the functions of an X-ray machine, a CT machine, an MRI machine, etc.
So amazing.
He naturally saw through the level gap between Yasaka Airi and the protection of the old devil at a glance.
"No such thing!"
But she insisted that there is no hierarchical gap.
The expression on her face was very cold, as if she was extremely unwilling to talk about this topic, and no matter how much he asked, he could not pry her mouth open.
"Yeah."
Jiang Li withdrew his gaze.
Since she wasn't going to tell her, there was no need for him to ask.
Anyway, this ability is probably out of his reach.
And he prefers the kind of power that strengthens himself. Strengthening monsters can certainly gain a power, but it cannot become the strongest. It is meaningless for him who pursues self-strength. The old devil has proven this.
…………
An hour later.
The two came to the human village closest to the Demon King's Castle.
After driving away the unicorn that was pestering the witch and unwilling to leave, the two of them walked towards the outer wall of the village one after another.
That's right.
Although it is just a small village with no more than a few hundred people, it still has a city wall several meters high, which looks almost like a semi-fortress.
This is probably also to guard against possible sneak attacks by the Demon King's army.
"Who are you?"
When a villager guarding the city saw the two people outside, especially Jiang Li, his breath froze, and his eyes quickly grew fond of them.
"We are adventurers passing by!"
Jiang Li adjusted the armor on his body. Needless to say, his striking handsomeness came to his face.
Yasaka Airi was wearing a set of mage robes, holding her hood with one hand to hide the ghost horns on her forehead.
But for some reason, her lower body was in a miniskirt that only covered her thighs, and her long legs were wrapped in a pair of black garters, which looked very sentimental.
"Why are you wearing this?"
"...Father asked me to wear it."
Yasaka Airi looked away silently.
It was the first time in her life to wear a miniskirt and suspenders, and she was very embarrassed!
But her father said that if she wanted to seduce Jiang Li, she must use her best advantage, so she could only wear it this way.
But to be honest, she almost never saw Jiang Li cast a bitter look at her along the way. Every time he looked at her, his eyes were very clear and without any desire.
"There is no fate between us, so please save it."
Jiang Li rejected her bluntly.
This call made her doubt her own charm. When she was in the army, the monsters under her command were full of praises for her, saying that she could completely charm human adventurers.
To be fair, she does have charm, and judging from her appearance alone, she even has a beauty close to that of a goddess.
If Jiang Li was still a virgin before, he would have been ready to agree, but now he is an experienced driver and is used to state banquets like Freya's. Now look at this kind of cabbage that is parallel to his XP system.
, even if it’s boiled cabbage at the state banquet level, it’s not sexy!
"Please come in!"
The city defenders quickly released the two men.
Do you feel like the people defending the city here are a little sloppy?
But with a super sportsman like me, this is normal!
Jiang Li thought this way, and with the warm welcome of the villagers, he and Yasaka Airi walked into the village.
"What do you want to do here?"
Walking on the road paved with stone bricks, Yasaka Airi once again tested Jiang Li.
"This is the third time you've asked me along the way, why, do you care?"
Jiang Li glanced at her with a half-smile.
"Or is it that you thought of something and felt you had to test me?"
"...Your eyes are indeed very powerful!"
Yasaka Airi sighed, and the expression on her face quickly turned cold.
"You want to become the Demon King to help humans, right?"
