The Demon Palace, located on the highest peak of the First Hell, suspended in the sky, this huge palace has no defensive magic, not even guards, and has been like this since ancient times.

But this place with the highest status in hell, the most evil place in the legend, no one can forcibly break into, even the god of creation, who claims to be the strongest god in the world, has no ability to break the world barrier outside the palace, not a story, but a truth.

Two thousand years ago, during the war of the gods, the god of creation and the other two gods once sneaked to the back of hell in an attempt to shoot down this palace, but in the end it failed, the three gods at that time, without any demonic hindrance, just because of the thin layer of barrier, they could not break.

Looking ahead, the Demon Palace has stood on the commanding heights of hell for countless years, experienced countless turbulences, the race of hell was destroyed, and a new race was born, the sun and the moon changed, the years passed, and the only thing that did not change was this palace.

In the mysterious palace, countless generations of demon kings have come here to bow down, just to show their loyalty to the will they may not have seen in their lives.

The Demon Palace has seven major offices, with the first Demon King Hall and the second Elder's Pavilion having the highest status, and the people who serve in them are all Demon Kings.

The functions of the other five offices are different, but they are of equal status and importance.

And the Third Knight's Hall that Chen Ming joined,Responsible for managing the order of the Demon Palace,Hunting high-level demonic beasts,Crusade against the rebellious demon king and a series of combat missions,If you want to join it,The minimum requirement is that your own magic power level must be at the peak of the sixth order,And you have to complete the baptism within twenty years,Reach the seventh order,Otherwise, you will be expelled to the lowest miscellaneous servant,Ten years before you can leave the Demon Palace。

Of course, there are many advantages to serving in the Demon Palace, that is, your magic advancement, baptism, magic pattern branding, seal carving, and even the creation of magic soldiers will be provided by the Demon Palace, but except for the first and second offices, all the needs of other offices must reach a certain degree of contribution.

In addition, there is another benefit, that is, the title granted by the Demon Palace is common in all countries and races in hell, and the high-ranking princes are even enough to be equal to the head of a clan, as for the elders, they are demon kings themselves, and the titles no longer need to be taken into their eyes.

The strict system and strict hierarchical requirements have created a powerful and terrifying political collective, although there are many benefits, but there are very few demons who join every year.

There are two main reasons for this, one is because of the rank, and the other is the seventh-order demon, even if it is placed in the demon king's camp, it is the backbone of the camp, and its status in the camp is extremely high, no one wants to do this kind of thing of changing the head of the chicken for the tail of the phoenix, if it were not for the mandatory requirement of the demon palace every year to provide some members to join the camp, I am afraid the number of people in the demon palace will not be too much.

Even so, the permanent staff in the Demon Palace will not exceed 100,000, don't look at this number, but from the tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of intelligent life bases in hell, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a drop in the bucket.

In the Demon Palace, the conferment and promotion of knighthoods, in addition to being related to their own rank, also has an extremely complex contribution value system, similar to Chen Ming, a seventh-order life who has just joined, can get the status of a marquis, although it is not without precedent, but for thousands of years, he is definitely the first time.

Walking on the dark red floor, Chen Ming's eyes scanned the surroundings, and in front of him was the lord of the Knight's Palace, and also the Duke of the Demon Palace, Corvette.

"Young Master Chenming. ”

Corvette smiled and asked, "How did you feel when you first came to the Demon Palace?"

"Here, Lord Corvette will call me by my name. ”

Retracting his curious gaze, Chen Ming said, "There are a lot of powerful auras here......"

As soon as he walked out of the magic array, Chen Ming felt countless terrifying magic powers rippling in the sky above this sky palace, some of which even he couldn't capture.

"Of course. ”

Corvette was accustomed to saying, "Not to mention those demon kings scattered all over the hell, even the uncrowned kings and transcendents who guard the Demon Palace, the number of transcendents is above four figures, not to mention the demons of other ranks, after all, this can be regarded as the strongest temple in hell." ”

"Definitely. ”

Nodding sympathetically, Chen Ming asked, "Then where is our knight's hall?"

"In fact, the offices of the Demon Palace are basically not in the same space. ”

Corvette smiled, "Many years ago, the founder of the Demon Palace divided the space above the Sunset Volcano into separate spaces, and the place where we are now is the front hall of the Demon Palace, which is a centralized hub connecting all places, and if you want to go to other spaces, you must use the specific teleportation magic here to reach it." ”

"I see......"

Chen Ming frowned and said, "It's quite troublesome." ”

"Actually, it's also for safety reasons. ”

Corvette explained, "In any era, in the event of a major war, the Demon Palace was the first to be attacked, and in order to prevent it from being defeated by the enemy, our ancestors cut off all the places, so that even if one place was breached, it would not affect the operation of other aspects, and we could not put all our eggs in one basket, right?"

"Hmm...... That's the reason. ”

Chen Ming nodded in agreement, but Corvette, who led the way in front, stopped, "We've arrived." ”

Chen Ming looked up and saw a huge arched building appear in front of him, and on top of the building, there was a line of magical words carved in ancient characters.

"The place where the ancient will sleeps. ”

Squinting slightly, Chen Ming muttered in a low voice, "This is the Demon Palace......"

The whole body of the building and the floor are in the same color, and on the wall in front of it, there are countless gates, and on the door plaques, there are door numbers, which are the names of the offices that Corvette said.

"The location of the teleportation magic here is constantly changing, and we don't need to look for it. ”

Corvette took out a silver token with a sword and shield pattern, the token was inlaid with five gems of different colors, and under the infusion of magic power, the silver gem in the middle of the token lit up and flew towards a certain gate, "Let's go." ”

The two followed the token and walked to a stop in front of the ninth gate on the east side, where Corvette took it off and explained, " This token is an important item that symbolizes our identity, and it is also the key to guide and open the portal, the gem on it is a place we can go to, if there is no token to break in at will, we will be transported to some extremely dangerous places, such as the abyss in the center of the third hell, in addition, once we lose the token, or fall into death, this token will lose all use, which is also a measure to ensure the safety of the magic palace. ”

Pushing open the door, he stretched out his hand and said, "Your token is still being made, so during this time, if you want to enter or exit, you can just come with me." ”

Tatsunami nodded with a smile and walked in, holding Corvette's hand.

The moment the door closed, the originally pure white room began to distort, and the next moment, Chen Ming felt a wave of dizziness, and when he came back to his senses, he had already come to another space.

"Lord Corvette. ”

In the distance, a tall demon in heavy armor came at the head, led by a knight in silver armor who saw them and walked with heavy steps.

"These are a detachment of our Knights' Palace. ”

Looking at the demons who came over, Corvette explained, "The one covered in silver armor is our deputy hall master, Gele. ”

When he came closer, Glee took off the armor on his head, and it was a middle-aged man with a hideous face, although he was laughing, but in Chen Ming's eyes, the smile was permeated with a trace of ferocity, he looked at Chen Ming and asked, "Who is this?"

"Oh, forgot to introduce. ”

Corvette also looked at Chen Ming and said, "This is Young Master Chen Ming, who just joined the Demon Palace today, and is the successor of Lord An Mixiu, the Marquis of the Demon Palace. ”

"As soon as you joined, you were a marquis?"

Ge Lie's eyes froze, and there was a trace of unkindness in his eyes when he looked at Chen Ming.

Chen Ming smiled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, his shadow was distorted, making his face stiffen, and he shouted in a low voice, "Xia Mi, go back!"

"Forehead ......"

Corvette also saw something, and said with a dry smile, "That's the case, when Young Master Chenming went to the human world for the assessment, he won the dominance of a city for me in hell, considering that his rank is quite different from the contribution he has made, so the official will award the title of earl, Gelie, from today we will be colleagues, don't embarrass me." ”

After speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the big man with some indifference.

"I see. ”

Hearing Corvette's anger, Greet was no longer embarrassed, and said sullenly, "Young Master Chenming is really young and promising, he has just entered and obtained the same title as me, it seems that the future title of prince will also be reserved for you." ”

"Don't joke with me, Deputy Hall Master Gelie, I have small arms and legs, and giving me this title is probably for the sake of An Mixiu's face. ”

Chen Ming said modestly, "Compared to the merits of the deputy hall master, that is far worse. ”

"Humph!"

Glee, who couldn't hear his taunt, snorted angrily, and left with the team.

"Young Master Chenming, don't care, his nature is not bad. ”

When Glee walked away, Corvette smiled bitterly, "This deputy hall master of mine is a brother who was born and died with me for hundreds of years, I don't know what kind of character he has best, in fact, it is more than enough to get a higher title for his merits, but for some reason, the Elders' Pavilion is reluctant to grant him a grant, so it has become a little cynical." ”

Chen Ming suddenly said apologetically, "Say sorry to the deputy hall master for me." ”

"Not really. ”

Corvette turned around and smiled, "He has a rough nature, and his biggest advantage is that he doesn't hold grudges, you will know after getting along with him for a long time, let's go, take you to your office." ”

The two of them took another step towards the temple in front of them, and the rest of the road did not stand in the way, and all those who passed by only saluted respectfully when they saw Corvette, and then gave way for them to proceed.

Taken by Corvette to a simple office, and when he came inside, Corvette said, "In view of the Elder's Pavilion's evaluation of your combat power, there are few positions that match you in the seventh order, so I grant you the position of captain of the second detachment of the Former Temple Knights, under the jurisdiction of a thousand seventh-order demons, and a hundred candidate knights as substitutes, a total of 1,100 sergeants, the specific documents are still being drafted, probably tomorrow, you can receive it together with the token." ”

"Okay. ”

Glancing at the office that was a little too spacious for him alone, Chen Ming nodded casually and said, "Thank you, Lord Corvette." ”

"It's fine. ”

Corvette smiled, "Later, your assistant will send you the project documents that you need to be responsible for, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask him directly, then, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't disturb your rest." ”

It wasn't until Tatsunami nodded that Corvette left the room.

"It's quite sweet. ”

Wandering around the room, Chen Ming found that it was not so much an office as a separate suite, or the top-of-the-line kind, with a study, living room, bathroom, bedroom and other rooms, and some daily necessities were also extremely complete.

"Natsumi, come out. ”

After shopping around the room, Chen Ming sat lazily on the sofa and called softly.

Beside him, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the shadow, and after squirming slightly, a young man in a black deacon uniform saluted him respectfully, "Young Master." ”

"I said I wouldn't let you follow, you had to follow. ”

Glancing helplessly at the expressionless young deacon, Chen Ming said, "I'm not a child, are you overprotective of me like this?"

"You are the most important person to us, and keeping you safe is our mission. ”

Xia Mi said flatly, "There are too many powerful demons in the Demon Palace, although it has its own order, but it is difficult to ensure that there are some crazy demons doing nonsense here, and what the subordinates do is just a necessary thing to prevent it from happening." ”

"I know your worries, but ......"

Chen Ming opened his mouth to speak, but he caught a glimpse of Xia Mi's stubborn expression, and finally could only sigh and say, "Forget it, let it be." ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, Chen Ming asked again, "By the way, how did you get in?"

"I am the hall master of the Sixth Assassination Department. ”

Xia Mi took out a token with six gems inlaid and handed it to Chen Ming, "Because it is related to the knight's hall, my token can also enter the knight's hall." ”

"This guy ......"

Chen Ming was speechless and said, "Just tell me directly, in addition to the Demon King Hall and the Elder Pavilion, how many offices here are people who are An Mixiu." ”

"With the exception of the Fifth Ruling Office, the current heads of the remaining four offices were all members of the Desperation Camp. ”

Xia Mi said honestly, "In addition, Xifa is the hall master of the Seventh Military Division. ”

"Forehead ......"

Chen Ming's face was black, and he muttered in a low voice, "An Mixiu, this old guy, does he want to turn the Demon Palace into his back garden?"

"Of course not. ”

Xia Mi explained, "Lord An Mixiu is the auxiliary minister of the Demon Palace, responsible for overseeing other departments except the Demon King Hall and the Elders' Pavilion, and arranging us in is only for the convenience of management, and it is definitely not what you think. ”

"Also, with his lazy appearance, he doesn't even have a serious ally. ”

Thinking of An Mixiu's lazy expression, Chen Ming couldn't help but laugh, "How can such a guy have the ambition to dominate the world?"

He raised his head and said, "Since you want to follow me, I won't force you to leave, but I want you to promise me not to appear in front of people when my life is not threatened." ”

"Yes. ”

Natsumi bent over, and then retracted into Chenming's shadow.

"Knock knock knock. ”

Not long after, there was a knock at the door, and Chen Ming looked at it and said, "Come in." ”

The door opened, and a young man with a large figure walked in, saluting Chenming, "Hello Captain Chenming, I am Corvette's assistant arranged for you, and he asked me to hand over your mission documents to you. ”

"I see. ”

Chen Ming nodded and beckoned, "What's your name?"

"My name is Rice. ”

The young man approached, put a stack of documents in his hand in front of Chen Ming, and then stood there upright, "If there is anything you don't understand, the captain can ask me." ”

"Sit down. ”

Chen Ming picked up a document, opened it and looked at it carefully, the content on it was similar to what Corvette just said, but as the captain of the Knight's Palace, he must complete a certain task indicator every month, otherwise the contribution value in the Demon Palace will decrease, and after a certain level, the title will be reduced, or even deprived.

"Here's one, I'd like to ask. ”

Chen Ming raised his head, but saw Les who was still standing there, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, just asked, "The designated mission of the Demon Palace here, can it be changed to a self-selected mission?"

"It's a no-no. ”

Les said softly, "Officers above the vice-captain level need to complete at least one of the designated tasks of the Demon Palace every month, and also complete three other tasks, and the rank and difficulty of these three tasks will be assigned according to your title for you to choose. ”

"Assigned by title?"

Chen Ming's head suddenly became bigger, his current title is Marquis, and the corresponding difficulty level is the lowest eighth-order, that is to say, even the simplest task of hunting Warcraft needs to face at least eighth-order tricky guys.

"Now it seems that the title is too high, and it is not all good......"

As he smiled bitterly, Les spoke again, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, these missions are released to you at the same time, they are also issued to your team, as long as the captain's team can complete the assigned tasks on time, you and your team will be rewarded by the Demon Palace." ”

"That's acceptable. ”

Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief, if he faced the eighth-order demonic beast alone, it would be an iron-clad delivery, after all, the real eighth-order was not as easy to deal with as a crappy angel like Hai Meize, but if it was a well-equipped seventh-order army, then the difficulty of this kind of task indicator would be greatly reduced.
