At the age of seventeen, he dug up the fragments of an artifact destined to belong to him from the horse manure in the stables next to the castle. As rumored to be, artifact fragments wander from place to place in the shadows, eventually falling into the right hands. At that moment, he understood that he would eventually achieve something in his life.

Probably the horse had eaten it from a very distant place and pulled it in the stable. At that time, Dong Shangjue, like Zuozhe, was a book-obsessed teenager full of fantasy, but he never expected that "fate" would be full of horse manure.

In the year when Dong Shangjue got the artifact fragment, many major events occurred in his life. First, he got married; Secondly, he became the youngest vice president of the Mage Association in the history of the Starfall Continent; On top of that, he killed his own demon with his own hands and replaced it with a new one, named "Vermilion Sparrow".

It was a pity that the old demon that he had raised with great difficulty gave up, but Dong Shangjue was determined to devote all his efforts and mana to raising the spirit sparrow, because he firmly believed that the spirit finch would definitely be the only demon that had never been seen before - not parasitic on the mage, but artifact fragments. The inspiration was found in the association's library. The experiment was a success, far superior to the regular demon in terms of size, color, intelligence, and spirituality.

The problem is passive magic.

Each demon carries a passive magic, some common, some rare, and each of them has it, which is also the advantage of the demons. But the Sparrow's passive magic is a bit ...... Insane. If it comes into direct contact with plants and animals, it will quickly suck the life force and cause it to die, with a fainting effect. As it grows, after a few years, it is able to "eat" people, and is very bloodthirsty, often hungry. Even sometimes the owner of Dong Shangjue can't completely control it, especially in the fasting state, the sparrow is very violent. It's as if he's raising a monster from hell.

Dong Shangjue began to use his power to secretly feed the condemned prisoners to the sparrows. In order to ensure the fodder for the sparrows, Dong Shangjue was very active in cracking down on criminals, which made the security situation in the territory among the best in the whole continent.

But the matter of making the demon eat people has become Dong Shangjue's biggest secret, and only a few henchmen know about it. The tremendous pressure caused him to gradually become uncertain, and as a result, he became estranged from Zuozhe's father-son relationship. This dilemma made Dong Shangjue deepen his love for the deformity of the sparrow.

Until it was discovered that the sparrow can actually lay eggs and reproduce on its own! He couldn't regret it, but it was too late, and there was no way, and he couldn't ruthlessly kill the demon he had raised for decades. Only the sparrow is strictly forbidden to lay eggs! Fortunately, he is a "master", and his words and deeds have a certain degree of binding force.

These years have been safe and sound, but Dong Shangjue knows that once he encounters an accident, the sparrow will lose its only restraint and wreak havoc everywhere.

He warned.

When Dong Shangjue sensed that someone among the nobles was trying to turn against him, he did warn all the nobles present in Yuanhuang's inn - once he fell, it would inevitably cause unimaginable consequences. Obviously, Dai Xingquan Li and Nike Yide Quan should be barking dogs and don't think so.

That's the case right now.

If you think that the vermilion sparrow will only eat people everywhere, you are very wrong. What it craves most now is not to suck life force, but to do something that has been forbidden by Dong Shangjue for a long time - to reproduce, and everything else is secondary, including its own life.

What was the aetheric monster thinking, how could Nikorids possibly understand? He made a forced contract with the sparrow, threatened the other party with death, and had always been conceited, so he firmly believed that such a change of ownership ceremony would be successful. So that the demon can understand the language of humans, and at this time, the spirit sparrow and Nikorid are entering into a contract, and they have the same mind, so they can clearly understand what situation they are in—resisting, or dying.

The sparrow nodded.

Nicorid was overjoyed and pushed Shar Pei forward beside him.

Shar Pei, who was also under threat, helplessly walked towards the deadly sparrow, and according to the boss's instructions, squeezed under the sticky and slippery sparrow with trembling hands, picked up the artifact fragment, and put it around his neck.

Shar Pei touched the sparrow, but was not fed. The latter, on the contrary, fluttered his wings skillfully and jumped onto Sharpei's shoulder.

It looks like everything is going well.

"Great, the ceremony was a success!" Nikorids applauded, "Come on, untie the sparrows." ”

Upon hearing the order, the Assassins immediately moved forward and began to lift the sparrow's seal.

“…… My lord, I beg your pardon for saying ......."

"Huh? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

A masked cronie leaned into Nicoid's ear and whispered a question. If it were someone else, Nikorid would not have had such good patience.

"My subordinates really don't understand, why do you want to hand over such a powerful demon to others? Wouldn't it be better for you to master it yourself? Or leave it to our direct subordinates......"

Ha, Nikorid laughed when he heard this: "Such a dangerous thing, of course, is for cannon fodder." ”

After hearing this, the cronies understood and bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Yes, Shar Pei's role is just a discard. If the ritual is safe, Nikorids has a way to keep Shar Pei under control; If the ritual changes, just give up the sour-ritual. However, Nicorid is confident in his contract magic, and if the sparrow dares to rebel, he will surely die. It's a fool's errand.

There is no such thing as "foolproof".

The sparrow waited until the Assassins had lifted the seal, looked around, and then leapt from Sharpei's shoulders to the top of his head, crouching down.

"Hehe......"

Seeing this, several of the Assassins burst out laughing. Because the ferocious sparrow is like an old hen holding a nest at this time, intending to hatch eggs on top of Shar-Pei's head, this contrast is cute.

The sparrow craned its neck and barked softly.

Everyone laughed even harder. This appearance is really no different from an old hen holding a nest. The atmosphere in the cellar becomes relaxed and lively.

…… But it only lasted a few seconds.

When everyone saw that there was really a bird's egg-shaped ether on the top of Sha's head, their whole body suddenly stiffened. The atmosphere became bitterly cold like winter. The man-eating sparrow has laid eggs! Needless to say, what that means......

The Assassins looked at Nicorid, expecting instructions to attack. But no. Nicorid hesitated...... He really couldn't believe it, how could his contract magic be invalid? No, it's just laying eggs, and it's not necessarily a bad thing.

…… Right!

The more treasures like sparrows, the better.

As a result, Nicotid missed the only chance to completely eradicate the sparrow, which was worth more than ten seconds. The sparrow suddenly began to suck the life force and mood power of everyone around it, causing chaos on the scene. At the same time, it flapped its wings, sticking directly to the three Assassins on each side of the right, absorbing the life force as quickly as possible, and then distributing the nutrients to the eggs. Not only that, but it laid eggs on six other people.

The above seems to have been planned for a long time, in one go, and the action is very fast.

From the moment she attacked, the mother bird suffered the great damage of the Nikorid's contract magic, and persevered in the pain to lay a total of seven eggs, and concentrated on feeding the first egg.

The sparrow would rather die under the magic of the contract than fulfill the wish of the year. The seven eggs are the brainchild of its best efforts.

Sha's physical and mental strength was extracted by the spirit sparrow, and his eyes suddenly turned black, and he fell to his knees and lost consciousness. The other six Assassins, possessed by the eggs, were also unconscious.

Seven sparrows are about to hatch......

"Withdraw! Retreat now! Nicorid gave a decisive order.

At the beginning, more than 100 people died in order to catch a spirit sparrow, but now there are seven that will break out of the eggs at any time. How long will it take to be born, and whether there is a chance to eradicate them, Nicotid can't afford to gamble! Not to mention that the mother bird is still struggling, and the wounded beast is the most dangerous.

In addition, Nikoyid has always been conceited, and now his most proud contract magic has been tricked by a mere magic, and his heart is deeply devastated. The only way to do this is to flee first, and then think about it in the long run.

The horrors of the sparrows were still vivid in the Assassins' minds. The sight of a mother bird and seven eggs was frightened, and the morale was completely crushed by the order to retreat, and now he ran faster than Nicoid.

"Hey, lock the cellar lid!" When Nikorid escapes to the ground, he finds his men so frightened that they forget to lock them. Even with this reprimand, no assassin stopped. Never mind! He also fled.

At this time, Yuan Huang, Hongyang Minbo and other six people happened to be covered in mud and climbed up to the cellar from the "underground altar", and witnessed the scene of the mother bird dying and the egg on Sha Pei's body about to break out. The timing is very coincidental.
