Chapter 12 The general trend of the demon world ()
The triceratops walked slowly. Chen Rui and Athena had their own thoughts and remained silent. The atmosphere became strange for a moment.
"Athena," Chen Rui asked to break the awkward atmosphere: "I am a human and know almost nothing about the demon world. Now I am considered a member of Darkmoon City. I really want to know about the Fallen Angel Empire.
Can you tell me?"
This request was normal, Athena explained it without thinking.
There were originally seven major royal families in the demon world. After countless battles and eliminations, three major royal families were finally left. They are the Lucifer family that controls the Fallen Angel Empire, the Mammon family that controls the Blood Demon Empire, and Asmodeus that controls the Shadow Empire.
The three empires of the royal family and the demon world have grown and declined with each other, and they have been standing together for tens of thousands of years.
The barrier between the human world and the demon world weakens every five hundred years, which is the beginning of the war between the two worlds. White Night in the Fallen Angel Empire. Emperor Lucifer is the strongest man in the demon world and is respected by all parties. He fought against the demon world more than three hundred years ago and
During the human war, he served as the commander of the demon alliance and personally killed three powerful humans, which once gave the demon army hope to return to the bright world on the ground. However, the White Night Emperor was suddenly attacked and killed by a mysterious powerful man, leaving the dragons without a leader.
The demon army was finally defeated and forced to retreat to the demon world.
After the death of Emperor White Night, Crown Prince Green Lucifer was too young to handle government affairs. Two foreign enemies, the Blood Demon Empire and the Shadow Empire, were eyeing him. The Fallen Angel Empire was experiencing internal and external troubles.
At this time, Bai Ye's younger brother, Green's uncle Prince Obsidian, stepped forward to temporarily take charge of government affairs and was called the regent. Although Prince Obsidian's strength and military ability were far inferior to those of Emperor Bai Ye, his political skills were superb and he regarded his elder brother as the leader.
On the grounds of the demon's heroic sacrifice, Bai Ye signed a non-aggression agreement with the Blood Evil Empire and the Shadow Empire by relying on Bai Ye's remaining prestige in the demon world.
However, after Prince Obsidian resolved the external crisis, he did not return the power to his nephew Green. Instead, he took over the power, eliminated dissidents, and was likely to replace him. However, because Prince Obsidian did not obtain the Lucifer clan's artifact "The Fallen Angel"
"Sword" was recognized, and Emperor Bai Ye's prestige in the army was extremely high. Two of the three generals of the empire supported Prince Green, so Prince Obsidian could only continue to bear the title of regent, but confiscated his nephew's fallen name.
Sword of Angels, and assigned him to the desolate Dark Moon Territory, secretly sending people to monitor and control him.
The environment of the Dark Moon Territory is dangerous, resources are scarce, thieves are rampant, and there are many terrible demonic creatures in the territory, which makes it impossible to develop and grow. Green died in depression in this adverse situation, leaving behind two daughters in his later years, the eldest princess Xi
Asia and the little princess Alice.
Shia has been influenced by the idea of regaining the throne instilled by Green since she was a child. She has developed a cold and stoic character. She is calm and decisive in dealing with things. Unlike her relatively weak father, she has a vague demeanor like her grandfather Bai Ye. She is only sixteen years old.
He took over Darkmoon City and immediately used a series of measures to establish his prestige and manage Darkmoon City in an orderly manner.
But even though Shia was extremely talented and ambitious, she could never fundamentally change the harsh situation in the Dark Moon Territory. After Green's death, another imperial general turned to the Obsidian Regent, and the only military forces supporting Dark Moon were
That leaves First General George Wells, Athena's father.
General George is currently guarding the Varok Fortress on the northern border, at the border with the Blood Evil Empire. Three years ago, Athena came to Darkmoon City at the instruction of her father, which also showed to the outside world that General George continued to support the Crown Prince's lineage.
Attitude.
Over the years, Prince Obsidian has been studying the Fallen Angel Sword that originally belonged to Shia. Once he can unlock the secret of the artifact and gain the approval of the artifact, he will be able to legitimately become a true emperor. At that time, even with George
The opposition led by the general could only express submission.
"It's not easy for His Highness Shia. He supports the Dark Moon Territory almost single-handedly." Athena said with emotion: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has very strict requirements on her. She has always been under tremendous pressure and has gradually developed a cold temperament.
Even Alice is afraid of her because of her character. But according to Alice, the eldest princess was actually very gentle when she was a child..."
Only then did Chen Rui realize that the situation in Dark Moon City was so unfavorable. He suddenly remembered that if the Obsidian Regent figured out the Fallen Angel Sword and launched a war against Dark Moon, no one could guarantee whether the Poison Dragon was safe. Once exposed,
Master Pagliu is likely to become the trophy of the dragon slayer, and Chen Rui will also follow suit. It seems that he must at least help the poisonous dragon unlock the lock of light and darkness first, and then find a safe territory to settle down. It is still unclear what the super system's capabilities are.
, we can only sacrifice color to borrow Athena's power.
Chen Rui was making calculations while talking: "I heard Master Aldas say that the royal family has special blood talents. I wonder what the talents of the Lucifer royal family are?"
Athena replied: "I once heard my father say that the higher the level of awakening of the royal family, the more talents they can use and the stronger they are. The most powerful talent of the Lucifer family is the heart of light and darkness, which can swallow all power.
, even the power of human light is no exception, and then there are the black flames and the wings of holy light. Back then, Emperor Bai Ye relied on these three powers to defeat all the invincible opponents in the demon world. Even the strongest man in the demon world today, the Blood Demon Empire,
Emperor Lei Chan can only accept defeat."
When Athena mentioned Emperor White Night, her face was full of admiration. Chen Rui secretly thought that this girl really worshiped violence. If she really used the beauty trap as Pagliu said, it would be difficult for him to fall in love with her.
Taste, calmly asked again: "Besides, are there any other talents, such as... mind reading?"
"Mind reading?" Athena didn't expect him and shook her head decisively: "Impossible. The Lucifer family only has three major bloodline talents. This is a well-known thing in the demon world."
Chen Rui finally realized that the mind-reading skill Alice mentioned was actually a bluff. It turned out to be a frog crawling on the feet and not biting, so he was shocked!
He thought about it and decided not to expose Alice, otherwise this lolita would come up with some weird ideas. As for the hole in the ancient world, he should slowly find a way to fill it.
"Athena, the questions I just asked may offend the royal family's taboos. Please keep them secret, especially don't tell the little princess."
"No problem! I will never say it!" After talking with Chen Rui for a while, Athena relaxed a lot of her psychological burden. When she heard this, she habitually beat her chest, and suddenly the waves were turbulent, looking at a normal man.
His eyes almost swayed.
The two continued to talk, and Chen Rui got a lot of useful information out of Athena. The power levels of demons from low to high can be divided into low-level demons, mid-level demons, high-level demons, demon kings, and big demon kings.
, Demon King, Demon Emperor, Demon Lord.
Each level is equivalent to a watershed. There is not only a huge difference in power, but also a certain level of suppression. For example, it is difficult for a mid-level demon to exert its strongest combat effectiveness in front of a high-level demon.
Although there is no level suppression between the same levels, there are differences in power. For example, a veteran high-level demon that has reached its peak strength can defeat at least ten high-level demons that have just advanced.
The Demon Lord is the highest realm in the legend. It is said that the power can make the gods fearful, but I have never heard of any demons who can become the Demon Lord. Three hundred years ago, Emperor Bai Ye was extremely talented and stunning, and he practiced to the level of the Demon Lord.
He was one step away from reaching the peak of his realm and could be promoted to Demon Lord. Unfortunately, he died in the war with humans.
Today, Emperor Lei Chan of the Blood Demon Empire and Emperor Catherine of the Shadow Empire are all veteran demon emperors, and they also have many strong men under their command, but they are not as good as the White Night Emperor back then. As for the strongest man in the Fallen Angel Empire,
Prince Obsidian is only the peak Demon Emperor who has half-stepped into the realm of Demon Emperor. His strength is slightly inferior. Perhaps after obtaining the power of the artifact Fallen Angel Sword, he can truly compete with the other two countries in terms of strength.
Athena herself belongs to a clan of great demons, also known as scythe demons. Scythe demons are naturally powerful warriors and are good at using various weapons, not just the signature scythe. Athena is proficient in swordsmanship and is already a swordsman at the age of nineteen.
The peak level of an intermediate demon is only a hair away from the high level. For the demon clan, he is an outstanding genius.
Not every demon can practice all the way to the top. For example, the upper limit of the sickle demon is high-level demons, while the little lemures will linger at the low level throughout their lives, unless some rare mutation occurs.
Chen Rui's performance when facing the poisonous dragon made Athena look at him differently, and her communication with him became smoother. She felt that although this human being was not powerful, his courage and wisdom were worthy of respect, and he was not the annoying type.
"Athena..." Alice's lazy voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Alice!" Athena helped Alice up in surprise, "You're awake!"
"Where are we?" Alice wiped her hazy eyes, "The picnic doesn't seem to be over yet."
"It's over. You and Jiya were so tired that you fell asleep while listening to the story. I took you with me on the Triceratops and we are returning to Darkmoon City."
Alice recalled it for a while, and it seemed that this was what happened. She stretched and said to Chen Rui: "You told a good story. I order you to tell me one every day. And that barbecue...
"
Chen Rui quickly said that he really couldn't think of anything - Snow White was already pitiful enough today, and she couldn't mess with other characters anymore.
Athena also echoed: "Alice, that story is not interesting. Let Chen Rui be the Kong Mingsuo again."
"Athena, you call him 'Chen Rui'? Haven't you always called him 'human'?" Alice looked suspicious, "I remember that you like to listen to stories, and you were very energetic when you started telling Snow White.
, why now..."
The little Loli looked Chen Rui and Athena up and down for a while, then narrowed her big eyes: "There must be a problem!"
Alice's sensitivity made Chen Rui tremble, and Athena felt even more guilty. The little Loli asked again: "Athena, where is your sword?"
Athena showed a look of regret and lowered her head: "I saw a bipedal flying dragon flying past earlier. I used a cross whirlwind move to scare away the flying dragon. As a result, the sword fell into the blue wave lake. Even if I fished it out,
It’s also useless.”
Although Athena did not tell the truth, her regret for the sword was definitely not fake. Alice knew that she had the killing move of throwing a sword, and had no doubts. Two clear eyes fell on Chen Rui's face.
Previous: "I don't remember why I fell asleep. Could it be that I was poisoned?"
Chen Rui broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. He picked up the kettle and took a sip to hide the nervousness in his heart: If he hadn't been quite confident in the poisonous dragon's toxicity and strength, he would have suspected that Alice had been pretending to sleep. This was Loli's reasoning.
The ability is too scary.
Alice's voice suddenly rose: "Chen Rui! You must have coveted the beauty of this princess and drugged the barbecue with evil intentions. As a result, Athena found out, and you used the reputation of the Lucifer royal family as a threat.
Forcing Athena to keep it a secret is even submissive to your power, isn't it?"
"Scoff!" Chen Rui almost choked out a mouthful of water before he could swallow it - the evaluation just now was wrong! This little loli's reasoning ability is not terrifying, but shocking!
Athena was also shocked by Alice's powerful idea, but she had become accustomed to her friend's personality, so she felt relieved. Chen Rui finally stopped coughing and was about to speak when he saw Alice looking sad.
, touched his belly and said: "Oh my god, will I be pregnant with a human child?"
Chen Rui had no time to criticize Alice's superficial acting skills. He was so shocked by the lines that he fell to the ground and vomited three liters of blood.
Athena had already moved Ji Ya, who had not yet woken up, onto the back of another triceratops, pretending not to hear.
Here Alice was still looking at herself and feeling sorry for herself: "When the child grows up and asks who his father is, how should he answer?"
