Chapter 218: The Big Guy's Routine
After eating, Felik went to Augustus' house alone.
Because the last time Claudia brought her here, Felik didn't look long to find it, and he arrived through the mysterious door in the wall of the Senate.
After entering this time, Felik was surprised to find that the environment of Augustus's house had changed again, which reminded Felik of Lance's magic prop, Raven's hut.
As if the layout of the space inside could still be converted by Augustus at will, in front of him was the living room, with retro magic lamps hanging from the ceiling, and the air was filled with a vague smell, which could not tell what it tasted like, but it was inexplicable, looking forward, Augustus was sitting on the sofa obliquely, looking at himself with a strange look, which made Felik feel like he was meeting his parents.
"What about Claudia? Didn't she come with you? ”
"Well, she said she was tired, so she went to sleep." Felik replied as Claudia had commanded.
Hearing this, Augustus smiled slightly and shook his head.
He had already guessed that Claudia would not dare to come to see him, and it was not surprising that Felik would come alone.
"Sit down."
"Okay."
Felik obediently sat down on the couch across from him, ready for the next question thrown by Augustus.
"I've wanted to talk to you for a long time."
Augustus picked up the teacups on the coffee table and poured black tea into the two cups, and suddenly a rich aroma of tea wafted out.
Felik carefully picked up the teacup and took a slow sip, now this battle is quite strange, Augustus is too polite to him, and he has long wanted to talk to himself about what is going on?
For some reason, Felik always felt that the content of this conversation would be very serious, and as a person who was difficult to get serious, he planned to let the other party start the topic first, and he tried to talk as little as possible.
Augustus leaned forward slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, his expression became serious, and he cut straight to the point.
"I think the status quo of the Blood Clan needs to change, this is no longer the time when the king is still there, the era of the Blood Clan is long gone, and now I still want to rise and stand tall in the world, and reproduce the glory of the Blood Clan's rule, which is really a bit unrealistic. Not to mention that when the king is awake, the blood clan is only on par with the demon clan, and now that the demon king is still there, the blood king has long been asleep, and it is impossible to return to the past in this situation. ”
"And human beings are no longer what they used to be, after thousands of years of development, human beings have gained enough power. Human beings are inherently incredible creatures, obviously they don't have the body as strong as the blood clan, and they don't have the blessing of the demon realm like the demons, but in just a thousand years, they have integrated physical arts and magic to innovate, and even created new powers. ”
"The power you used before was very peculiar."
Felik paused, rolled his eyes, and said casually, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
To be honest, it's really embarrassing to be praised by the other party like this, but it's a pity, in fact, he is originally a demon, and that energy is not a novelty, but the power that the demon king has passed down from generation to generation.
He didn't want to continue to talk about his abilities, and if Augustus continued to delve into it, he would be in trouble if he couldn't lie, so he immediately diverted the topic: "Then what do you think?" ”
"Cooperation." Augustus replied.
"Cooperation?"
"Yes, it's cooperation." Augustus nodded, looking very determined: "After that Council of Patriarchs, I once left the Holy Land for Kas Bay, and after witnessing the prosperity of Kas Bay, I deeply realized that if I want to gain a foothold on this continent now, it is a matter that can be decided only by the strength of the race. ”
"The world is ushering in the power of change, and what binds everyone is not the bond of blood, but the chain of interests."
"You used profit as bait to gather people of different races in that small projectile land of Kas Bay, and let that barren area show unprecedented vitality, I have to say, you are amazing."
Oops, praised again.
Although I don't know why, but the strong sense of crisis in my heart is getting heavier and heavier, I should be the weak side, why do I keep being praised as soon as I come here, is it just like written, big guys generally like to test the strength of young offspring, if that's the case, shouldn't you be humble now?
As soon as he thought of this, Felik immediately replied, "It's just a little cleverness, anyone can think of it." ”
"It doesn't have to be like that, excessive modesty is pride." Speaking of this, Augustus paused, raised his head to look at Felik, his eyes flashed, and he slowly spoke: "And in fact, you are very strong, if there is no curse, I am afraid you will be the strongest human race in the world today except for Doyle." ”
Hearing this, Felik thought to himself, it's a pity, although you are right, but I am actually the former demon king, and the former demon king is now so rubbish, in fact, it is already very embarrassing.
And it seems that he has been completely treated as a strong person, although this feeling of being appreciated is not bad, but the other party is a blood patriarch, if he can't be used by him, will he be cut down and eradicated?
But before Felik could worry, as soon as Augustus finished saying this, he changed his words and said: "But the premise is that you have to be a human to do it, but in fact, the truth is that you are a demon, right?" ”
Burst!
A mouthful of black tea that had just been put in his mouth was re-sprayed into the cup by Felik, he raised his head and replied solemnly: "How can I be a demon!" ”
"Well, this expression, you can't be wrong, sure enough, you are a demon." Augustus instantly confirmed his guess: "Probably Clara also has such a guess, after all, the posture you fought just now is completely out of line with that of humans, if it weren't for the help of black magic and forbidden books, it would be impossible for human bodies to change so much." ”
Hearing this, Felik already regretted that he didn't use the night to descend at that time, and the night descending was to use the power of magic to completely distort all the natural light in a certain area, and the distorted light overlapped and intertwined countless colors, and finally became the purest black.
But the moonlight in the Holy Land seemed to be a little different from the light outside, and he used to cast the night when he was bored, and he found that if he wanted to distort the moonlight in the Holy Land, he needed to consume far more mana than the outside world.
So at that time, Felik thought that this kind of trick should not be useful to the patriarch, and it would consume magic very much to descend into the night, so he simply didn't use it.
And then when it came to the final transformation, he completely forgot about it, causing his other form to be completely exposed.
Felik sat there with a tangled and uncomfortable expression, as if he had just missed a million-dollar lottery ticket, with a look of regret and lovelessness on his face.
"Don't worry, if you don't admit it, no one will treat you as a demon. After all, you usually use your human body to act, and it is even more convincing to say that you have mastered the forbidden arts. Augustus comforted rather perfunctorily.
"Really?" Although he knew that it was only comfort, Felik still wanted to hear the answer he wanted from the other person.
"Fake, do you think someone else is an idiot? And we're off topic, so let's get down to business, and I'm going to ask you a serious question. ”
Felik's expression was distorted, and the other party didn't even bother to comfort him, making him feel that he had lost his care, in that case, why did he carry out such perfunctory comfort before? Is it a fool's bad taste?
This reminded Felik of the feeling he had when he first met Claudia, when Felik always felt that the other party despised him all the time, just like now.
Presumably, Claudia somehow inherited her father's shortcomings - she liked to see others as stupid.
