The two people sitting in the middle of the living room stared at each other for a while, and Chen Ming said helplessly, "Can you tell me why it has to be me?"

"You can not go. ”

Leon smiled and said, "But the Demon Palace will definitely think that this incident was arranged by my Eternal Night Empire, and it will not be a war to plot against an ordinary knight, but your other identity is something they have to take seriously, after all, there will be a second time, originally it would not have been me who came, but in order to prove my innocence, it could only be me who came, understand?"

"Yes, yes. ”

Chen Ming nodded, and then said, "But what does this have to do with me? The Demon Palace's crusade against you, shouldn't it be a headache for you, adults?

"Why is the young man so difficult......"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Leon sighed, "Okay, okay, I'll be honest with you, it's actually because of the strength." ”

"Because of strength?"

Chen Ming was stunned and puzzled, "Where does this start?"

"In today's hell, there are few seventh-order demons who can compete with eighth-order lifeforms, and they have basically been identified as the next candidate for the demon king, what about the Eternal Night Empire, after the great prince Riley, who originally had high hopes, was killed by you, only Sman was left to compete, but although that kid has improved a lot after three years of resource pouring, his strength has improved a lot, but he is still a little worse than you. ”

Leon explained, "The one who can brainwash a seventh-order demon without leaving a trace must be a life above the eighth order, but the laws of the world do not allow the eighth-order demon or angel to search on a large scale, so it can only be carried out by the seventh-order demon, we haven't thought about asking those allies for help, but first, it is too dangerous to face the eighth-order life, and secondly, this matter is extremely sensitive, and it is easy to get angry if you are not careful, so they were all politely refused, and we have no choice, so we came to you to help." ”

"It's not easy for you. ”

Chen Ming looked at Leon sympathetically and said, "But you also said that there are eighth-order and above beings controlling this matter, even if I can escape in their hands, but if I am not careful, I still have to braid, they think it is dangerous, don't I feel dangerous? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if I agree, my mentor An Mixiu will not agree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Leon's smiling expression, and he wanted to slap his face crookedly, "My stinky mouth!"

"Your teacher said that as long as you agree, he will not have a problem. ”

Leon smiled, "Besides, we ask you to do something, and we will definitely not let you do it in vain, and it will give you benefits." ”

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard that there was a benefit, Chen Ming immediately came to his senses, "What benefit?"

"This guy doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles. ”

Leon sighed in his heart, but said on his lips, "As the first prince of the Eternal Night Empire, I am also the honorary lord of the Demon Palace, as long as you return from the investigation, I will give you 500,000 meritorious deeds in the name of a private person, such an amount is not something that ordinary eighth-order can obtain." ”

"Half a million?"

Chen Ming's eyes were surprised, indeed as Leon said, the 500,000 feats are usually tasks that only the demons whose strength has reached the transcendent can take over, and the difficulty of this kind of task is several times more difficult than hunting the bone dragon, not to mention him, even if he pulls the entire second detachment together, it will be difficult to escape the danger of annihilation.

But although the rewards are rich, the danger of the task itself still makes Chen Ming hesitate, no matter how powerful he is, he is only a seventh-order, if he wants to face the life of the eighth-order, isn't it a mouse teasing a cat, and he will definitely die?

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Leon pondered slightly and spoke again, "In this way, as long as you agree to this matter, I will give you a blood dependent, how about it?!"

"Blood's Family?"

Chen Ming was slightly stunned and asked, "What is that?"

"The Blood Family is a unique breed of demonic beasts for our vampire clan. ”

Leon said, "This kind of demonic beast has no pain, not even feeling, it will only follow the orders of its owner, and because of the different ways of breeding, their strength is more fierce than ordinary demonic beasts, although not as good as dragons, but it is not far away, the most important thing is that as long as this kind of demonic beast absorbs enough flesh and blood, it can grow endlessly, and even grow to the same level as the demon king in the future, it is not impossible, how about it?"

Listening to Leon's introduction, Chen Ming suddenly became interested and asked, "Then what is the initial level of this kind of demonic beast?"

"The initial order is the sixth order. ”

Leon said honestly, "And in the first month, the blood family must absorb the blood of the owner in order to communicate with the owner, this kind of monster has no soul, and if you want to control it, you can only do this......"

"So troublesome?"

Chen Ming frowned, and asked again, "Then do they have a lot of food?"

"Not big, definitely not big!"

Leon hurriedly shook his head and denied, "The blood family only needs to drink two liters of blood a day for the first month......"

"Two liters of blood isn't big?"

The corners of Chen Ming's mouth twitched, feeding two liters of blood every day, it is estimated that he will have to become a dry corpse in a few days......

"It's not really big. ”

Leon explained, "Not to mention how much blood you have in your body as a human being, even if the blood runs out, you can recover with a life magic, for the sake of such a powerful assistant who will always be by your side and never betray the future, this trouble is still acceptable, right?"

"My current magic power is the seventh order, and even if I get the Blood Family, I can't make it a combat power immediately. ”

Chen Ming pondered for a moment and said, "This thing eats other things, if the food is sufficient, how long will it take to grow to the seventh order?"

Leon smiled, "With your capital, it only takes ten years to raise yourself in the Temple of Despair and grow to the seventh order." ”

"So long?"

Chen Ming was speechless, shook his head and said, "Then I still don't want it." ”

"No, you think the seventh order is all cabbage?"

Leon said with a sneer, "If an ordinary demon wants to grow to the seventh order, it will take a hundred years to say the least, even if it is extremely talented, it will take thirty years, but the blood dependents only need ten years, and the higher the quality of the flesh and blood it eats, the faster it will grow, if the flesh and blood that feeds it every day is a seventh-order demonic beast, it will only take three years." ”

"That's pretty much it. ”

Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief, after all, his strength grew extremely fast, if he was already an eighth order in ten years, and the blood dependents were still only a seventh order, what was the difference between it and having a pet?

"Do you say yes or not?"

Leon said, "This kind of price is not affordable for everyone, and there is no such store in this village." ”

"A dignified prince, how can he be like a peddler......"

Looking at Leon who looked like a philistine with some helplessness, Chen Ming nodded and said, "Since Lord Wang Jue has spoken like this, then I can't say it if I don't agree, I will take this matter, but if I find that things are beyond my ability, I will immediately return to hell, and I must also receive the price you said." ”

"Absolutely. ”

Leon readily agreed, got up and said, "As a sign of my sincerity, I can hand over the Blood Family to you now." ”

Saying that, he didn't wait for Chen Ming to answer, and walked out of the living room directly, and Chen Ming saw this and followed out.

When they arrived at the main temple square, the two stopped, and Leon said, "This is it." ”

He stepped forward, the magic in his body rippling, and he shouted softly, "Summon magic, Blood Dependent!"

The voice fell, and a purple magic array appeared in front of them, and Chen Ming felt a trace of life, drifting in the magic array.

After a while, the energy of the magic array gradually became stronger, and a small beast covered in red fluff emerged from the ground and appeared in front of their eyes.

"This is what you call a ferocious demonic beast?"

Looking at the little beast that was no different from the corgi in the world except for the color of the fluff, Chen Ming said, "Aren't you kidding me?"

"Isn't this because you're human, I'm just thinking of picking the cutest blood family for you, the others are too ugly and fierce, I'm afraid to scare you. ”

Leon said with a smile, "And as I said just now, don't look at the surface of everything, this is just the normal state of the blood family, as long as you feed it and drink the first blood, its battle form will appear, and when the time comes, don't be frightened." ”

Touching his forehead with a headache, Chen Ming sighed, "I believe you once, but forget it now, after all, if you lose too much blood, you will enter a weak state." ”

"I understand, I understand. ”

Hearing what he meant, Leon was not angry, and smiled, "Since everything has been made clear to you, I should also go back, and in addition, apologize to Xifa for me." ”

After saying that, his entire body suddenly exploded, turning into pitch-black bats and flying out of the Temple of Despair.

Squatting down, teasing the cute little red beast, Chen Ming's heart was slightly paused, he did feel the existence of magic in the little beast's body.

"Natsumi. ”

With a soft call, Natsumi appeared behind him, and Chen Ming spoke, "Take care of the surroundings for me." ”

"Okay, young master. ”

Natsumi nodded, and released her magic power throughout the main hall area.

"Just let me see if you're as amazing as Lord Lyon said. ”

With Xia Mi there, Chen Ming was able to completely put his mind at ease, opened his wrist sleeves, and with a stroke of his fingers on it, a thin wound appeared, and a large amount of blood spilled on the ground.

"Woo ......"

The little beast that smelled the blood screamed excitedly, twisted its little ass and ran to the pool of blood and licked it quickly.

As the blood seeped out of his body, Chen Ming's face also turned pale, he was a human after all, and two liters of blood accounted for almost half of the blood in his body.

At a certain moment, he felt the blood flow almost immediately, and quickly stopped pumping blood, and bouts of vertigo filled his mind.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Xia Mi behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with concern, "I'll call a doctor right away." ”

"No, I'm fine. ”

Chen Ming shook his head and set his eyes on the little beast, at this time, the little beast had already licked the blood on the ground, and a trace of blood and blood lingered in Chen Ming's heart.

"Magical life. ”

Murmuring in his heart, Chen Ming chuckled, "Show me your battle form." ”

"Woo ......"

The little beast screamed excitedly, and then the fluff exploded, and the whole body became huge, the original long mane became barbs, growing behind the skull, and the two drooping ears also became huge antelope horns, permeated with a sharp and hard feeling, and the fluff on the body turned into extremely slippery scales, this four-legged beast with a head and feet five meters high, as if it was born for war.

"Natsumi, what do you think?"

Looking at this huge beast, Chen Ming could feel the powerful magic power in its body.

"It's just a preliminary feeding to have this kind of aura, and this blood dependent, even if it is placed in a vampire, can only be raised by nobles above the duke. ”

Xia Mi, whose strength is close to the ninth order, does not have a good relationship with Leon because of the disagreement between the camps, but as the saying goes, the only one who knows each other best is the fierce rival, and the two who compete against each other are also the people who know each other best, if he says so, then there should be no problem with the quality of this strange beast.

"It seems that this time the Eternal Night Empire is really in trouble, so it will be so panicked and run to seek help from the opponent. ”

Chen Ming smiled lightly, turned around and walked towards the main hall, there was no grudge between him and the Eternal Night Empire except for Arden and the three princes, and the meeting with Leon also gave him a thorough understanding of the Empire's way of life, as long as you don't do things out of the way, they won't kill you at all costs.

"That's right. ”

Coming to the door, Tatsu Ming asked, "If you fight Leon, who will win in the end?"

Xia Mi thought for a moment and said, "The best result will be the end of the year." ”

"Thankfully, he's not here to get in trouble. ”

Chen Ming seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and took a step, "Xia Mi, it's time to change your temper." ”

......

The Temple of Domination.

This is the world of eternal night, in the night sky, except for the bright moon, there is no light, darkness, dead silence and cold, is the main color here.

In the main hall, the dim candle flame illuminated the study, and in front of the table sat a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old, where he was reading a book, and his scarlet blood eyes seemed to be the most evil substance in the world, and the fear that governed all life.

"Crunch. ”

The door of the study opened, and a young man in a white dress walked in, saluting the young man, "Brother Rahman, I'm back." ”

The boy didn't look up, still looking at the book to himself, "Did the desperate successor agree?"

The young man said, "Yes." ”

"Hmm. ”

Rahman nodded lightly and said, "How did it feel to meet him?"

"Very smart, very convicted, and very strong. ”

The young man's face sank and he said, "Even if Riley is still alive, it is impossible to compare with him, and I think that even the fire dragon Edie is not as good as him." ”

"Smana Kid ......"

Rahman stopped reading and raised his head, "I am ruthless enough, but I lack wisdom and strength......"

"Wisdom and strength can be cultivated ......"

The young man laughed, "That kid is stupid, but he's obedient. ”

"Stupidity is stupidity, so what's the use of being obedient?"

Rahman frowned and said, "In this generation, we have lost again. ”

"It's not the end of the matter yet, so don't jump to conclusions so early. ”

The young man's eyes flashed, and he said, "Pour all the strength of the empire, and Siman will grow." ”

"I have a hunch that a battle with the will may come soon. ”

Rahman got up, put the book on the shelf, and took down another one, "An Mixiu has a special identity, and Igril is not strong enough, this battle must be started by me." ”

He sat back in his seat, opened the book and said, "Only when the will is injured will those people be revealed, Leon, if I can't come back, you ......"

Leon's pupils constricted, and he hurriedly said, "Your strength is so strong, it's impossible for you to ......"

"If I can't come back, you can kill Siman and sit on the throne of the demon king yourself. ”

There was no emotion in Rahman's voice, even though he said that Sman was his own son, "This is yours." ”

"No, brother!"

Leon shook his head and said sadly, "You won't die!"

"You're underestimating the will. ”

Rahman's eyes raised slightly, and he said unhurriedly, "Back then, even the Ancestor Catherine, the Pupil of the End Fafnir, and the Broken Dragon Leviathan could not escape from the hands of the will, Catherine was sealed in the void of eternal silence, Leviathan was suppressed in the Sunset Volcano, and the strongest Fafnir was beaten into nothingness by him, and even the traces of the soul no longer existed, as strong as they all failed, let alone me?" Although the will is only a newborn now, even a newborn has the power to surpass everything, and there is no way to escape from it alone. ”

"Then why don't you work with the other two?"

Leon wondered, "Even if you can't kill the will, you can come back alive, can't you?"

"An Mixiu chooses to assist the will, and Igriel remains neutral, and only I am qualified to provoke the will. ”

Rahman chuckled, "Besides, if we're all wounded, who will defend against those people's attacks?

"We control the fate of everyone, but we ourselves are also dominated by fate, we can't break free, we can't escape, Leon, if we want to get out, only transcendence, beyond the law, beyond the order, these are far from enough, beyond the will, we can get rid of all ......"

In the middle of the night, the sound of a low cry made the moonlight stained with sadness, and Rahman's figure disappeared, leaving Leon alone on his knees and wailing......
