As the car drove in, there were fewer cars around, but there were many more tall trees, and on the side of the asphalt road, the big trees stood on both sides like guards, welcoming guests from outside the palace.

Tatsunami looked in the direction of the driver's seat, and in front of the windshield, a white building like a huge monster appeared in front of him.

"There is no most pompous, only more pompous. ”

I thought that the castle I lived in was already huge, but when the building in front of him appeared, Chen Ming realized that his idea was more or less naïve.

In fact, if this palace appeared in any place between hell and heaven, he would not be surprised, just like the Temple of Despair, the palace that occupies a city, as long as the demon king wants, such a palace can be built in an instant, but in the human world, such a palace requires endless financial and material resources.

Of course, this is also a well-denied sight, after all, Hestifo is a country of imperial power, and it is not surprising to have such a palace occupying a mountain range as a royal palace.

The sedan stopped at the gate of the tall manor, and Tatsumi got out of the car with Tirestin, letting the driver drive to the parking spot from another road.

"Sir, we need to walk a little bit on the next road, and the palace is closed to traffic. ”

Tirestin smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

"Good. ”

Chenming nodded, and followed Tirestin to the closed door.

On either side of the gate stood a heavily armored knight, who immediately opened the gate when he saw that it was their Royal Highness the Third Prince.

The two walked into the manor, and Chen Ming found that it was not so much a manor as a private forest, because their heads were still lush, and the sun was shining through the green leaves, dotted on the asphalt.

"I came in today on the pretext of seeing the Queen Mother, so let's go to the Queen Mother's palace for now. ”

Despite the size of the palace, Tirestin, as a prince, did not have the right to live here, and as a symbol of imperial power, only the emperor and his harem were eligible to live in the palace, except for those who were servants.

In addition, the palace also set up a series of places to deal with political affairs, such as the council hall and the government affairs hall, and in general, this palace is the place where the emperor usually deals with things.

Tirestine's mother, the princess of this country, is also a powerful demon, the magic level is about to break through the eighth order, is the current leader of the special office of the demons, responsible for managing matters related to magic, including magic invasions from other countries.

Her palace is located on the southeast side of the palace, and because of the needs of her duties, the palace covers a very large area, occupying one-tenth of the entire estate.

The palace forbade the use of magic, and the two of them were not in a hurry, so they did not borrow the scooter parked at the door, but slowly walked through the forested road.

"This huge palace, although it is wonderful, is just a little indifferent. ”

Casually glancing around, Chen Ming said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, aren't you afraid of the cold?"

When Tirestin heard this, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly pulled Chen Ming and said, "You can't say this here!"

"Afraid of what?"

Chen Ming said strangely, "There is no one else nearby, who can hear us talking?"

"Of course someone can hear me!"

Tirestin whispered, "Because in addition to my father, the pope of the church also lives here! I don't know for sure, but that old guy definitely has an eighth order! And it's not an ordinary eighth order!"

"Forehead ......"

Chen Ming was stunned, then frowned, and the jealousy in his heart became even stronger, "The princes and nobles are still arranged to live under the mountain, can the people of the church live in the palace......

In fact, Chen Ming didn't know that this palace was not forbidden for nobles to live, but for demons with noble titles to live, just like the third prince Tirestin, other princes with magical power did not have the right to live here, if they wanted to enter the palace, they had to have something to do before they could be released, and for hundreds of years, it had been the case.

"Now you know how worrisome our demons are, right?"

After some explanation, Tirestin smiled bitterly, "Whether it is the queen mother or me, we descendants of the demons have no authority to live here, nor do we have the right to inherit the throne, but just as a guard, we guard the royal family!"

"The crux of the problem is probably the difference between the three powers of man, emperor and god......"

Chen Ming's heart suddenly realized, "As the only demon who can live in the palace, Tirestin's queen mother, I'm afraid that life here is not very good......"

But the more this happened, the more he wanted to see what kind of monarch Tirestine's father, the emperor who was above all living beings but bowed to the divine power.

Passing through the forest to the east, the two of them came to a school field, which was so large that even thousands of people would not seem crowded to practice on it.

On the other side of the school field is a slightly old palace, where the residence of the current demon queen Attila, that is, Tirestine's mother.

"Let's go. ”

After pausing for a moment, the two of them walked across the school yard and towards the palace.

And as soon as they reached the middle of the school grounds, Chen Ming felt a fresh breeze blowing in his face, and a young woman in a blue dress appeared at the gate of the palace.

The woman's face is extremely good-looking, and the cyan tattoo on her eyebrows makes her look a little bewitching.

"This woman ......"

Chen Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, from the moment he saw it, he felt that the woman's body exuded a terrifying pressure like a giant beast, and at this moment he knew that the woman in front of him was definitely not as simple as Tirestin said, only the magic power of the peak of the seventh order!

"The Queen Mother. ”

Seeing the woman, Tirestin hurriedly smiled and saluted, "The child has come to see you." ”

Atira's gaze was a little indifferent, and her red lips closed one by one, "Do you still want to struggle now?"

Tirestin's body trembled slightly, obviously extremely afraid of his mother, "The child is just ......"

"Forget it, let's talk about it first. ”

Glancing at the expressionless Chenming on the side, Atira's eyes drooped slightly, and she turned around and entered the palace.

"Yes. ”

Tirestin saluted again, walked out of the school with Chenming, and followed Artilla into the palace.

In the palace, there is no light, only the carved windows, which let in a faint ray of sunlight.

Chen Ming glanced around, and he found that compared to the outside world, the palace here seemed to be decades faster, and it had become old.

"Just sit down. ”

When the three of them came to the living room, Artilla sat on the sofa by herself, and after Chenming and Tirestin sat down, she said coldly, "I don't know what you're going to do next, but I don't want you to drag the entire demon clan to the funeral!"

"Queen Mother's ......"

Tirestin's eyes trembled slightly, he lowered his head, and said, "What the child wants to do is just to restore the demon to its past glory, and it doesn't ......."

"Glory?"

Attila smiled indifferently and pointed around, "What glory do demons have now? Isn't this all due to Heather? Your dear uncle, let us demons almost enter the land of no return, do you still want to follow his example?!"

"I ......"

Tirestin looked up and opened his mouth to explain, but when he saw Atila's reddish eyes, he swallowed back the words that had just come to his lips.

"Princess Attila ......"

Chen Ming frowned, he was about to speak, but was drunk back by Atira, "Shut up!

When the words fell, Chen Ming seemed to feel a huge mountain crushing against him, making it a little difficult for him to breathe.

"Queen Mother!"

Tirestin's pupils constricted, and he shook his head and pleaded, "Don't ......"

"Humph!"

Artira snorted coldly, and then withdrew all the pressure, and said, "No matter how depraved the demons are, they will not fall to the point of being at odds with the demons! Tirestine, I hope you can understand how much I spent in order to protect you and the demons in the first place! Don't let my efforts go to waste!"

"Princess Atira. ”

After adjusting his breathing, Tatsunami called out again, this time, his voice was a little cold.

"What, demon, what else do you want to say?"

Attila frowned, for some reason, she seemed to be extremely disgusted with the demon, "For the sake of you being brought by Tirestine, I won't hand you over, but I advise you, it's best not to stay in the palace for a long time, otherwise, you won't be able to get out of here alive!"

"Is this a threat to me?"

Chen Ming smiled indifferently and said, "I have signed a soul contract with your child, I must fulfill his request, and he must also fulfill my request, if you don't mind losing your child, then even if you prevent me from cooperating with him, I promise, he will break the agreement first." ”

"You!"

Hearing the four words of the soul contract, Attila's face suddenly changed, she looked at Tirestine, and there was a hint of restlessness in her voice, "Don't you want to die?!

Tirestin didn't dare to look at her, and before she could speak, Chen Ming took the first step and said, "I heard Tirestin say that your demon clan is in this situation because of the emperor, and the church is very close to the emperor. ”

"Even if that's the case, they can't do anything to us!"

Perhaps because he was afraid that Chen Ming would do something to Tirestine, Attilla's tone slowed down as much as possible and suppressed his anger, "My demon is the orthodoxy of the royal family, and no matter how good the church is, it is also an outsider!"

"Indeed, in a short time, they will not be able to do anything to you. ”

Chen Ming smiled and nodded, and said, "But the biggest thing that the lives of heaven and hell have in common is that they are demagogued, maybe in a short period of time, the emperor will not expel you when he remembers the past exploits of the demons, but what about after a long period of bewitchment? Can you still guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will stand firmly on your side? Looking at your current living environment, I think you should be very clear in your heart, right?"

Attila was silent, her eyes were a little dim, in fact, she didn't need Chen Ming to say, she also knew that the status of the current demon clan was not as good as before, no matter how hard she tried, she could only let the demon survive, and she had no power to return to the sky.

"Now that you have entered a situation of isolation. ”

Chen Ming spoke again, "Why don't you consider making a deal with the demons? At least compared to those angels who only write blank checks, we demons still pay attention to honesty in doing things, don't we?"

"Integrity?"

Attila looked at Chenming sadly, her eyes flashing with hatred, "The reason why the demons are in this situation is because Heather believes in the so-called integrity of your demons!

"Because of the devil?"

Chen Ming frowned, and glanced at Tirestin beside him, who nodded gloomily, "My uncle once made a deal with a demon, and was finally discovered by his father......"

"Tirestin!"

When he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Atira's angry voice, who said indifferently, "Even if my demon is really at the end of his rope, he will not have anything to do with the demon again, even if my son has already signed a contract with you, I will not tolerate it!"

"Before I change my mind, get out of here!"

With that, she turned around and walked towards the second floor.

"Mr. Chenming, I'm sorry. ”

Tirestin said apologetically, "My queen mother doesn't like demons very much, but don't worry, I'll persuade her again!"

"It's fine. ”

Chen Ming shook his head and stood up, "Let's get here first today, let's go." ”

"Hmm. ”

Tirestin nodded, got up and walked out of the palace with Chenming.

However, as soon as they walked to the school grounds, a knight covered in armor walked in the distance, and judging by the posture, it was coming at them.

"That's ......"

Tirestine's eyes narrowed, then froze abruptly, "How did the Royal Knights come here?!"

"Royal Knights?

Chen Ming also saw that knight team, not only that, but he also sensed that each knight had an extremely strong light magic in their bodies, at least of them were of the sixth order!

"The Royal Knights are the personal guards directly under their father, provided by the Church. ”

Tirestin's eyes flickered slightly, "Each of them is extremely powerful, and within the same rank, they are no less than demons!"

"No less than a demon?"

Although there is no direct comparison, after a glimpse from Lilith, he can understand a little, if you want to reach the level of a demon within the same level, ordinary angels will definitely not be able to do it, at least like Hameze, a seraphic angel with light magic.

"In other words, every knight on this team has at least one Seraphic Angel in his body......"

Although Chen Ming was not afraid of these low-level Seraphs, he would never be able to do anything here, after all, there were still eighth-order terrible guys here!

"Sir, don't worry, I'll ask about the situation first. ”

Perhaps sensing the seriousness of the situation, Tirestine's face was extremely solemn, and he shouted, "Powerful knights ahead, I wonder why you came to my mother's bedchamber?"

One of the masked knights in the team, and the only seventh-order in the team, obviously recognized the Third Prince, immediately waved his hand to stop the team, and saluted, "Your Excellency the Pope said that a demon broke into the palace today and specially asked us to search the major palaces, Your Highness the Third Prince, if you don't mind, can you let me check your friend?"

Although it was an inquiry, he and the team behind him had already stepped forward and moved closer to the two.

"Who told you to move?!"

Tirestin's eyes bloomed with indifference, obviously angered by the rudeness of this group of knights, "This prince is still here, I think which of you dares to step forward?!"

"The minister is routine, Your Highness don't blame!"

The knight at the head didn't care about it, he still insisted on stepping forward, and the knight behind him followed suit.

"Humph!"

Seeing that they didn't listen to persuasion, Tirestin snorted coldly, and the terrifying magic power was instantly released, enveloping the entire knight team.

"His Royal Highness obstructs official business, and the minister is only offended!"

The Covered Horseman's gaze was slightly condensed, the spear in his hand was waved, and the rich aura of light resisted Tirestin's magic, and it was faintly evenly matched!

"I'll hold the third prince back, you take down his friends as soon as possible!"

With a command behind him, the Covered Rider stepped forward, his magic power surging, and the earth was torn out of cracks, and the others behind him also swept out and attacked Chenming.

"How dare you fight here without my permission!"

Just as the two sides were about to collide, a cold cheer came from the palace, dispersing all the magic power, and in the middle of the two sides, a beautiful woman in a green dress suddenly appeared, and around her, there was an infinite storm raging, blowing all the knights, including the Covered Knight, to the ground.

"Queen Mother!"

Tirestin's eyes were overjoyed, and he looked at the Valkyrie-like woman in front of him, and his heart settled down a lot for no reason.

"I let you leave early, but I just didn't listen!"

Attila glanced at the two behind her and sighed, "Now you can't leave if you want to." ”

In this regard, Chen Ming didn't have a panicked expression, he smiled and said, "What should come will always come, it's just a matter of time." ”

"I don't know where you got your confidence. ”

Attila glanced at Chen Ming deeply, then withdrew her gaze, "For my son's sake, I will try my best to protect you!"

Chen Ming was stunned and saluted, "Thank you, princess." ”

"What are you talking about, sir?"

Although a hint of clue was heard in their conversation, Tirestin, whose perception was far less than that of Chenming and Yatiraqiang, was still a little dazed.

But in the next moment, he knew where the reason for his mother's solemnity was.

As they spoke, infinite light fell in the sky like a waterfall, turning into a pair of huge wings, and on the ground below the wings, a kind white-robed old man suddenly appeared there.

The old man held a huge angelic staff in his hand, and his whole body exuded a thick holy radiance, healing the knight who had fallen to the side.

"Holy Church, Pope Hested, has met the Three Princes, the Queen of the Wind Demons. ”
