The king, in the Demon Palace, is second only to the Demon King and the Elder, and the title in the kingdom of hell is different, the title power of the Demon Palace is higher than the equivalent title of the kingdom in any class, that is to say, in the country ruled by the Demon King, the status of the Demon Palace Lord is second only to the Demon King, but it is higher than the official title granted by the country, and even has the right to sit on an equal footing with the Demon King.

The seventh-order demon title usually can't be promoted when you reach the earl, unless you advance to the eighth order and make a great contribution to the demon palace, there is basically no possibility of being promoted to the marquis or above.

And above the marquis, each title is another watershed, there is such an algorithm, the minimum requirement for the marquis is an eighth-order demon, while the duke needs a transcendent, as for the prince, it is an uncrowned king even above.

There is no defending king, and the strength is on par with ordinary demon kings, such an existence, even in the demon palace, there are less than twenty people, and these twenty people also enjoy the same treatment as the demon king.

And the youngest prince, his age is also more than a thousand years old, from the seventh order to the uncrowned king, it took nearly eight hundred years, what kind of concept this is, you can imagine.

"Twenty years, it's a question of whether I can advance to the eighth order. ”

In the office, Chen Ming sat on the sofa sullenly, because from An Mixiu's words, he could tell that this guy was not joking, "This is going to kill me." ”

But even so, he still didn't hesitate to agree to this appeal that was impossible to complete unless it was a miracle, and there was no need for An Mixiu's request, Chen Ming himself wanted to become stronger quickly.

"Young Master, there is one thing I need to remind you. ”

Chen Ming's side, Xia Mi bowed his head and said, "The mission system of the Demon Palace has unique evaluation criteria, and in the process of the mission, the exploration magic of the token will be activated, if you use external force, then after you complete the task, the merit you get will be deducted accordingly by the amount of external force you use, that is to say, when you go to perform the task, it is inconvenient for me and Xifa to follow." ”

"I know. ”

Chen Ming nodded, there is indeed a relevant record in the document given by Corvette, in the process of performing the task, once the existence of releasing goodwill appears around them, then the monitoring system will deduct the corresponding merit according to its help to you, which is also to prevent the merit system of the Demon Palace from appearing in a low-level and high-level situation.

"Actually, you don't have to protect me too well. ”

Closing the folder in his hand, Chen Ming smiled, "The desperate successor is not as weak as you think. ”

"Yes. ”

Natsumi bowed, then exited the room.

After Xia Mi left, Chen Ming flipped through the folder on the desktop again, there was not much text in the file, there was just a map, and a picture of a bone dragon full of spikes, and in the lower right corner of the picture, there was a small line of gilded text.

"The first mandatory task is to face this terrible monster......

Chen Ming frowned slightly, of course he knew the bone dragon in the picture, and he also knew something about its strength.

"After the death of a dragon-type demonic beast, its immortal soul is condensed into the corpse to form a lifeform, with a minimum of the seventh order, and it has the ability to grow. ”

Rubbing the textured bone dragon picture in his hand, Chen Ming's eyes were deep, " The bone dragon that has grown to the eighth order not only has the unique magic attributes of life, but also has hard bones all over the body, and its magic resistance is extremely high, and it is difficult for ordinary magic weapons to hurt it, and the most important thing is its metamorphosis recovery ability, no matter how terrible the damage it has suffered, as long as there is a small piece of bone residue left, give it some time, it can fully recover, and the only thing that can cause damage to it is the natural magic full of life, as well as the divine light magic. ”

"Proper undead......"

After thinking for a moment, Tatsunato looked up and called, "Rice." ”

The door opened, and a demon with a long body walked in, saluting, and asked, "Captain, what's the matter?" ”

"I need you to help me count how many nature elves there are in our second detachment. ”

Les, the deputy assigned to Tatsunami by Corvette and the vice-captain of the second team, is a three-eyed demon with magical powers that are about to enter the eighth order.

Chen Ming tapped the folder in his hand and continued, "In addition, I also need to know about the demons that can be used as meat shields, their number and damage resistance. ”

"Yes, Captain. ”

Les saluted and left the room.

After a moment of silence, Chen Ming got up and left the office and walked towards the outside of the knight's hall.

After a few days of adaptation, Chen Ming also has some preliminary understanding of the structure of the Demon Palace.

The Demon Palace, said to be a giant palace, is rather a large sky city cobbled together by multiple small spatial worlds.

In addition to the main seven offices, the Demon Palace also has a series of equipment manufacturing facilities such as alchemy workshops and forging workshops, as well as reserve combat power reserve facilities such as training grounds and magic research institutes.

As for the seven major offices, the Demon King Hall and the Elders' Pavilion, they are basically vacant, because their members are all Demon Kings and have their own camps, and no one will come in person unless it is urgent.

The other five offices belong to the permanent department, and in these five places, there are usually a large number of demons performing their duties, running the behemoth of the Demon Palace.

Came to the main hall square of the Demon Palace, Chen Ming took out the token, and under the transmission of magic power, the token emitted a faint light, and flew out of his palm to a certain gate.

Except for the space of the seven major offices, which requires special gems as a medium to open, the other reserve departments don't need to be so troublesome, as long as they have the permission of the demon above the title of vice captain, they can go there.

Tatsumei's token login information is the captain of the Knights' Palace, and of course he has the power to access those places.

And the goal of his trip was one of the forging workshops.

Slowly stepping into the open portal, Tatsunaru was transported to a strange place.

As soon as he stepped out, he felt an extremely hot aura rushing over his face, an aura that he was very familiar with, and he had the privilege of feeling it in the workshop of the dwarven city of Gru.

The noisy sound of striking iron spread over the space, and as far as the eye could see, bungalows with huge chimneys appeared in front of him.

"It should be here, right?"

Chen Ming took out the note that Corvette gave him not long ago, with a string of house numbers written on it, as well as the name of a dwarf, "Nezel, an eighth-order godsmith-level forger, once participated in the creation of the artifact steel hammer, although it ended in failure, but his exquisite skills were valued by the Demon Palace, and after the Dwarf King's deliberation, he was hired into the Demon Palace as a palace forger. ”

Looking around, Chen Ming looked for a direction.

The space of this workshop is huge, and after walking for nearly three hours, I didn't find the house number given by Corvette.

In desperation, he had to find a random workshop and walk in.

After entering, Chen Ming found that there were extremely many dwarven forgers here, and the ranks were generally above the sixth order, and even the seventh order was not a few.

"In times of peace they forge and strike iron, but in times of war they become the most powerful warriors. ”

Looking at the busy dwarves, Chen Ming gave a soft sigh and walked towards the depths of the workshop.

"Who are you looking for?"

At this moment, a muscular dwarf stopped his way, "You're new here, aren't you? ”

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Dwarves. ”

Looking down at the dwarf and strong man, Chen Ming saluted, "I am the new leader of the second team of the Knight Palace, and I came to your workshop to ask you about someone. ”

"So you're the Airborne Soldier Corvette was talking about. ”

The dwarf chuckled and turned around, "Come with me." ”

"Forehead ......"

Chen Ming hesitated, he was here to find the dwarf named Nesel, but he didn't want to waste his time by this strange dwarf.

As if sensing his hesitation, the strong man looked up and said, "Are you here to find Nezel?"

Chen Ming was surprised, "How do you know?"

"How do I know?"

The strong man pursed his lips and said, "There is only one dwarf here who dares to call Neselle, how do you say I know?"

"You're Nezel......"

Chen Ming looked at the strong man in surprise, he didn't expect that a workshop he walked into casually would actually meet a target person.

"Why, isn't it like?"

Nesaire snorted, turned and moved on, "Let's go, don't waste my time." ”

In the face of the dwarf's rudeness, Chen Ming was not angry, and hurriedly followed.

Taken by the dwarf to sit in a hut behind the workshop, Tatsu Ming smiled, "I really didn't expect you to be here, I apologize for my rudeness." ”

"There's so much more you didn't expect. ”

Polite people are never disgusting, and a smile appeared on Nezel's face, "Listen to that Corvette guy, you just joined the Knight's Hall in the past few days, so you haven't built armor yet, tell me about your needs." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I don't know much about armor, so I ......"

Chen Ming smiled awkwardly, "It's up to you to help me in this regard." ”

"That's fine. ”

Nezel's eyes drooped slightly, and he said, "The types of armor are roughly divided into three categories, one is heavy plate armor, the second is light armor, and the third is leather cloth armor, and these three categories correspond to the needs of three different demons. ”

"Heavy plate armor is mostly used for power demons, their mana amplification of the body, short range high burst, so they need extremely high physical defense and extreme weight to crush opponents. ”

"Light armor is used for warlock-type demons, magic as the main means of attack, but compared to power-type demons, their bodies are relatively weak, so too heavy armor will drag them back, but the necessary defense is still needed, so, this kind of armor is generally made of some extremely light and high-toughness materials, light at the same time, but also has a good defense. ”

"Compared to the first two, the defense of leather cloth armor is greatly reduced, and assassination demons do not need defense, but extreme speed and superb concealment magic, this kind of armor is generally sewn with some leather with a certain hidden effect, so as to facilitate their actions. ”

After the introduction, Nesel picked up the cup and took a sip of the fragrant ale, before looking at Chen Ming, "Look at your physique, you should be a warlock, right?"

Chen Ming thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then please help me create a light armor, as for the materials, Mr. doesn't need to worry." ”

"What's that?"

Nezel rolled his eyes, "Corvette really didn't tell you anything." ”

Chen Ming frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

That means. ”

Getting up slowly, Nazel said, "All the armor forging materials of the warriors of the Demon Palace are provided by the official, but this warrior must participate in the forging process, only in this way can the warrior fit closely with the armor, and there is no need for a run-in period, understand?"

"I see. ”

Chen Ming suddenly frowned again, "But I don't know how to forge." ”

"Hammer always wield, right?"

"We craftsmen will solve technical problems, but you have to be involved, and only by participating in the creation of them can you communicate with the spirit of the armor and minimize the barrier between the armor and yourself." ”

"What kind of theory is this? How come I've never heard of ......?"

"That's my theory. ”

Nezel smirked, "The forge is my territory, and I can do whatever I want, if you don't want to participate in the forge, but I can't guarantee that I won't forge inferior armor for you." ”

“......”

The young man was speechless for a moment, and now he finally understood why Corvette had a strange expression when he gave him the note, and smiled helplessly, he compromised, "As long as the gentleman doesn't mind me dragging you back, I can get involved." ”

"That's right. ”

Standing on tiptoe and patting Chenming's chest, Nazel said confidently, "Don't worry, I will create a perfect armor for you." ”

"I believe in the skill of the gentleman. ”

Nodding with a smile, Chen Ming took out a document bag from the magic ring and handed it to Nazel, saying, "This is some of my information, Mr. can use it as a reference when choosing materials, then, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't bother Mr. here." ”

Nesaire took the bag and waved his hand casually, "Go, go, go." ”

Chen Ming smiled slightly and turned to leave.

"I'd like to see what kind of bull ghost snake god can make that guy personally ask me to make armor for him. ”

After Chenming left, Nezel opened the file bag, took out a few thin pages and looked at it, but the next moment, his face and expression stiffened.

"This guy turned out to be the successor of that one......"

A cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and Nazel said angrily, "Is Corvette trying to kill Lao Tzu? I'm still making things difficult for him like this, I'm stupid!"

"However, what I said seems to be true, that person with a big heart should not make things difficult for me for such a trivial matter, right?"

......

After leaving the workshop, Chen Ming did not go anywhere else, but returned directly to the Knight's Palace.

As soon as he walked out of the portal, Tatsunaru saw Les waiting quietly outside the hall, and he walked over with a smile.

"Rice, why are you waiting here?"

Walking closer, Chen Ming smiled, "Let's go, let's go in." ”

The two of them returned to the office one after the other.

"In the future, if I am not there, you can just put these documents on my desk. ”

In the office, Chen Ming took the document handed to him by Rice and said, "In my place, there is no need to follow so many rules. ”

"Yes. ”

Les nodded, and stood there blankly.

Shaking his head with a sigh, Chen Ming set his eyes on the open folder, "After statistics, the number of natural elves in the second team is fifty, and the general level is above the seventh order, and two of them are about to advance, and the number of strength-type heavy armor soldiers is two hundred and twenty, and the general level is the same, among them, three are about to advance." Notes: There are also thirteen demons who are good at life magic, and two dragons, namely the Frost Dragon and the Storm Dragon. ”

Looking at this detailed information, Chen Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "The mission in seven days will be carried out by them with me, and besides, Les, as an exploratory demon, you will also come with you, you know?"

Les saluted, "Yes." ”

Chen Ming really had no choice but to ask, "Rice, do you have any grievances against me?" ”

Les was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I am not dissatisfied with the captain, but I am a little skeptical about your strength, but the Lord of the Corvette Hall ordered me to obey all your orders before I am willing to be your deputy." ”

"Hmmm......"

Chen Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It seems that there should be a lot of team members in the detachment who have this idea, right?"

Les didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"That's what to do. ”

Chen Ming patted his palms and said, "You help me go and bring a message to all the demons in the second detachment, just say, I will wait for them in the training ground tomorrow, with a maximum of ten people, as long as any of them defeat me, I can go to the Lord of the Corvette Hall to resign, and ask him to find another eighth-order demon for you as the captain to lead you." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Les was startled, he did have some doubts about Chen Ming's strength, but he didn't expect Chen Ming to prove himself in this way, he asked in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

"Of course. ”

Chen Ming nodded with a smile and affirmed, "This is indeed my negligence, the so-called three fires of the new official, my new official has no fire but makes you look down, since this is the case, then tell you in the simplest and most direct way." ”

He raised his head and said confidently, "By what do I have to rise above you?" ”
