In the three days since he came to the Temple of Despair, Chen Ming gradually adapted to the environment here, and this palace, which was as huge as a city, was also visited by him.

"If it weren't for these teleportation magics, it would take half a month to walk through the palace, right?"

Walking out of the library building, Chen Ming looked at the sky, the afternoon sun was not dazzling, affected by the volcanic gas, glowing with a faint red glow.

For three days, what made Chen Ming strange was that An Mixiu didn't come back here, nor did he send any message back, but just asked Xia Mi to bring him a message and let him wait.

"Natsumi. ”

Chen Ming called softly, "Is there still no news of An Mixiu today?"

"Yes, young master. ”

In the space behind him, a handsome young man in a black deacon robe suddenly appeared, "My lord, let the young master wait patiently, what you ask for, he will do it for you." ”

"Got it. ”

Sighing helplessly, Tatsunaru walked in the other direction, "Let's go find Maya and them." ”

"Yes. ”

Natsumi bowed and saluted, following him like a ghost.

Through the transmission of teleportation magic, they came to a bungalow, and the two walked side by side.

Walking to the end of a path paved with bluestone, Chen Ming looked and saw that on the lawn not far away, several children about four or five years old were chasing a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to fight.

Xia Mi stepped forward to remind, but Chen Ming shook his head to stop him, "It's okay to wait." ”

"Yes. ”

Natsumi nodded and stepped back, joining him in the laughter of the children.

After a long time, a touch of sunset fell on Chenming's body, and the children on the lawn also noticed the arrival of the two.

"Brother Xia Mi! Brother Chenming!"

Maya stepped on small steps and ran close with a few children, and the girl asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

"It's okay, just walk around. ”

Gently patting the little head of the child next to him, Chen Ming smiled softly, "Seeing that you guys are having fun, I didn't bother." ”

"Oh. ”

Maya answered, and then said, "I'm going to go back with these children, it's getting dark, are you together?"

"Nope. ”

Chen Ming shook his head, turned around and said, "I'm just going to look everywhere, and you can go home early." ”

"Good. ”

Seeing him leave, Maya said strangely, "Brother Chenming seems to have something on his mind......"

......

When he returned to the main hall, it was already night, and at the dining table, Chen Ming sat on the main seat and ate food quietly, while Xifa and Xia Mi did not move their chopsticks.

"Hefa, you don't have to prepare three meals for me in the future. ”

While chewing the food in his mouth, Tatsunami said.

Shefa was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Is it because the food I made is not delicious? I made these dishes according to the recipes of the human world where you are ......."

"It's not unpalatable. ”

Chen Ming shook his head, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "It's meaningless." ”

Holding his chin with his hands, Chen Ming said calmly, "You were ordered by me to sit here for dinner, but the essence of eating is to eat well and eat happily, are you happy?"

"Of course I was happy. ”

Natsumi nodded, "It's our honor to have dinner with you. ”

"But what I want is not your honor. ”

Chen Ming glanced at the two of them and said, "I said, I will try my best to treat you as family, I hope that you can also treat me as family, the food is delicious, but I can't eat it." ”

With that, he got up and walked out of the restaurant, "Thank you for the delicious dinner you prepared for me. ”

It wasn't until Chen Ming left their sight that Xifa breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "This little young master is really difficult, I was tired and half-dead to make up the recipes in the world to prepare this table of dishes, and it became our fault?"

"It's true that we were wrong. ”

Compared to Xifa, Xia Mi was obviously more calm, he picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of meat and chewed it in his mouth, "The food is delicious, but our restraint is not delicious." ”

He looked up at the corner where the young man had left and chuckled, "He wants real family, not obedient wood." ”

Shifa shook his head blankly and said, "I don't understand. ”

"I don't need to understand. ”

Xia Mi smiled and shook his head, and said, "The next time we eat, we just need to eat big and let go of eating, in the face of this gentle young master, we don't need to be restrained." ”

"But I still don't understand ......"

......

In this way, after another three days of peaceful days, An Mixiu still did not appear, but another guest arrived unexpectedly.

In the living room, at this time, Chen Ming and Corvette were sitting, and Xia Mi and Xifa were standing quietly behind Chen Ming.

"Congratulations, Young Master Chenming. ”

On the couch, Corvette chuckled and said, "Starting today, you will officially join the Third Knights' Hall and become a warrior of the Guardian Demon Palace. ”

Holding a beautifully drawn black paper card in his hand, the paper card has dense bronzing fonts, and Chen Ming looked at it seriously.

"This is the appointment document of the Demon Palace. ”

Corvette explained with a smile, "Every demon who holds a position in the Demon Palace has to sign this document, in fact, it is nothing, it is just something that is drafted to ensure that there is no chaos and conflict between camps. ”

Chen Ming nodded slowly, the content of the paper card was indeed like what Corvette said, just some clauses to ensure that he would not participate in the camp strife, but there was one that Chen Ming cared about very much.

"Lord of the Corvette Temple. ”

Chen Ming frowned slightly, "I don't have any opinion on the terms above, but this one, isn't it a little too high for me?"

He pointed to the end of the card, which read: "The signatory will have the position of Marquis in the Demon Palace, and if he performs well, he may receive a higher title.

"In the past few days, I have also done some knowledge about some official titles in the Demon Palace. ”

He said softly, "When a normal seventh-order demon joins, it will be awarded the title of baron or viscount, and the upper limit of the title is earl, as for the higher title, it will only be granted if it is promoted to the eighth order, no matter my contribution or the position and rank I hold are not enough to serve as a marquis, are you writing it wrong?"

"This document is given by the official of the Demon Palace, there will be no mistakes, even me, I have no right to change it without permission. ”

Corvette said respectfully, "Maybe it is because of your special status that the Elders' Pavilion will specially approve your position as a marquis, after all, no matter what, you are also the successor of the monarch, plus your feat in the world, your influence is no longer inferior to that of the eighth-order demon, so, this title, I think you deserve it." ”

Chen Ming lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Since you said so, then I have nothing more to say." ”

He raised his hand, and Natsumi placed a fountain pen in his hand.

After writing down his name smoothly, Tatsunaru handed the paper card to Corvette.

"Good. ”

Corvette didn't even look at it, so he threw it directly into the magic ring, got up and said, "Congratulations on joining, I'll meet you at the same time tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out the door, and Chen Ming behind him suddenly asked, "Can you tell me, what has An Mixiu been doing these days?"

Corvette stopped, turned around and said, "My lord's whereabouts are uncertain, unpredictable, I don't know what he's doing, I just know that he went to the deepest part of the Demon Palace seven days ago, and there has been no news since then. ”

"The deepest part of the Demon Palace?"

Chen Ming frowned and asked, "What is that place?"

"Sorry, I don't know. ”

Corvette shook his head and said, "Only the highest-ranking demon kings have the right to enter that place, and only they know what is inside, but you can rest assured that it is the safest place in hell, and nothing will happen to you." ”

"Who's worried that something will happen to him?"

Chen Ming pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll see you tomorrow." ”

"Good. ”

Corvette nodded, then turned away from the doorway.

The guest left, and Shifa pushed Natsumi next to him, who frowned and opened his mouth to say something, but closed his mouth again.

Taking in their movements, Chen Ming said helplessly, "Say whatever you want, in my place, you don't have to do this." ”

Xifa smiled awkwardly and pushed the deacon, "Xiami, you say." ”

Sighing, Natsumi spoke, "That's right, in view of the unpleasantness that made you unhappy a few days ago, Xifa has prepared dinner for you again, ready to admit his mistake. ”

"Didn't I say that you don't have to prepare three meals for me in the future?"

Chen Ming frowned and said, "You can eat it yourself." ”

"Natsumi......"

Xifa looked at Xia Mi as if asking for help, and the latter was helpless, and spoke again, "Young master, this time will definitely not be like last time, please appreciate your face." ”

“......”

Chen Ming was speechless, glanced at Xifa with an expectant look behind him, and Xia Mi, who had a natural zombie face, and got up and said, "Then let's go." ”

Xifa was pleasantly surprised, and quickly pulled Xia Mi and walked towards the restaurant.

The three of them moved to the restaurant, and what greeted Chen Ming was a table of the same dishes as a few days ago, raised his eyebrows, and didn't say anything, and he did the main seat.

This time, however, the two deacons did not sit down directly at the behest of their master.

"What the hell are these two guys doing?"

His heart was full of puzzlement, but Chen Ming didn't ask, just said lightly, "Eat." ”

"Young master, you try this. ”

Xifa picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dishes in front of him and put them on Chenming's bowl, and said with a smile, "This is my proud work." ”

Glancing at Xifa a little unnaturally, Chen Ming picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them, and after a while, he nodded and said, "It tastes good." ”

"Hee-hee, huh. ”

Xifa smiled proudly and picked up the dishes and chopsticks to eat.

"I see......"

With a hint of clarity in his heart, Chen Ming glanced at Xia Mi, who was eating quietly, and a smile climbed the corner of his mouth.

The time of a dinner is very short, but it is the most comfortable time for Chen Ming during this time, after the meal, Chen Ming smiled, "It's not that I said, Xifa's cooking skills still need to be strengthened, otherwise everyone will get tired of eating the same dish all the time." ”

"Hmm...... Huh?"

Xifa was stunned, and then said in surprise, "Young Master means that there is dinner tomorrow?"

"Hmmm......"

Chen Ming got up and said, "Three meals a day, you will have to be responsible in the future." ”

After saying that, he left his position, and when he arrived at the door of the restaurant, he stopped, turned around and smiled, "When the family eats, don't care about those rules, I don't think An Mixiu will care about these either." ”

The two deacons who were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks were stunned for a moment, and saluted to Chen Ming, "Yes." ”

......

In the deepest part of the Demon Palace, there is an ancient small building, in front of the small building, there is a hot spring surrounded by strange mountains and rocks, and the smoky water surface is gurgling and bubbling with blisters.

And next to the bluestone not far from the hot spring, a young man in Chinese clothes who was about fifteen or sixteen years old stood quietly, with a gorgeous red robe hanging from his arm, and the ancient books suspended in front of him were emitting a faint red light.

"After two years of sleep, it's time to wake up. ”

The young man looked at the hot spring with a smile on his face and said softly, "According to your request, I will bring him to the first hell, and tomorrow, he will come to the Demon Palace to meet you." ”

"Gollum ......"

The surface of the hot spring suddenly boiled, wisps of scarlet flames fluttered on it, and after a while, a naked red-haired girl, out of the water, stepped ashore step by step.

"I can already feel his breath. ”

There are some droplets of water hanging on her white skin like a porcelain doll, and there is no expression on the girl's little face, and her scarlet eyes are dull, like a marionette that can be manipulated by others.

The young man stepped forward and put on the robe he held in his arms for her, then took two steps back and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty Shaqira, please allow me, lowly, to return to you the emotions sealed in the Book of Magic for you. ”

The girl nodded lightly and said, "Okay." ”

The boy got up and turned the old book to the last page, and on the pale yellow page, there was a bottle of pitch-black coffin, and when it appeared, even the clear moonlight in the sky was obscured by dark clouds.

The boy chanted, "The ancient god of burial, I, the Desperate An Mixiu, beg you to open the door of the underworld of yin and death, and release the unknown from the world, and I am willing to sacrifice half of my magic power as your strength!"

"Chaos magic, the coffin of the underworld!"

At the end of the chant, a strange black mist seeped out of the book, and in the black mist, the skeletons of eight huge demons stood on one knee, their purple flames fluttering in their eyes, as if they were meeting something they were extremely afraid of.

A sickly pale appeared on An Mixiu's face, in this short moment, more than half of the magic power in his body was consumed, and his eyes looked solemnly at the black coffin that appeared in the black mist.

The shape of the coffin is very peculiar, and in the middle of the intersection of four huge chains made entirely of white bones, is a hideous snake head with a large open mouth.

"The serpent of the underworld, the god of death intercepted a monster created by the river Styx......"

Even the most powerful monarch in the world did not dare to take it lightly in the face of this terrifying thing.

An Mixiu's palm opened, and a hole two fingers wide suddenly appeared in his palm, and a large amount of blood seemed to spray, forming a straight line in the air and pouring into the mouth of the she.

"Open it!

He shouted, and the surging magic shattered the surrounding rocks and houses.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Shekou, which was suspected of having drunk enough blood, slowly closed.

"Ahem!"

An Mixiu staggered back and almost fell.

"Click......

With four slight sounds, the thick bone chain broke one after another, and the snake's head also disappeared into the coffin door.

"Wow ......"

After the snake's head disappeared, the coffin door slowly opened in the puffs of smoke, and out of the coffin, a girl who looked exactly like Shaqiluo came out.

The girl was wearing a gothic Lolita dress, and there was a faint smile on her face, "Uncle An Mixiu, thank you for your hard work." ”

Wheezing violently like asthma, An Mixiu shook his head and pointed to the wooden girl who was standing there not far away.

Shaqiro nodded, took a small step and walked to the front of her to stop, as if looking in a mirror, two petite figures looked at each other.

The girl in the robe raised her white arms, opened her small hands, and whispered, "After being separated for so long, it's time to come back." ”

Shaqiro nodded, and the lo skirt on her body began to burn, and in an instant it turned into a scarlet flame like blood, blooming in the shape of a lotus flower.

The blood-colored fire lotus quickly weakened, and when it reached the size of a thumb, it slowly drifted away from the center of the girl's eyebrows, turning into a faint mark that fell on it, and faded away in a blink of an eye.

The color of affection returned to the girl's face, there was endless remembrance in the red eyes that were burning with flames, she raised her little hand and smiled lightly, "It's been a long time since I've seen him in such a state, and I'm a little uneasy in my heart......"

"Miss, don't be upset......

I don't know when An Mixiu, who was sitting on the ground, pointed to the coffin not far away, where there seemed to be some terrible figure flickering, about to walk out, "The rest is left to you, the old man can't do anything......"

The girl raised her eyes and glanced at the dark coffin, her pink lips closed one by one, "The god who has been dead for many years, does he still want to come out and destroy anything?"

She stretched out her hand, and the scarlet flames poured out, turning into a strangely shaped long sword, and murmured in a low voice, "The sword of Mahari Shura, drive for me to destroy this world!"

"Boom!"

Like a heartbeat, time stopped at this moment, and the moment the long sword waved, there was no great magic ripple, just the coffin, and the figure in the darkness, in this sword, with the space split into two petals.

The black mist and coffin exploded in an instant, and everything returned to its original state, Shaqiluo dissolved the long sword, walked to An Mixiu's side and helped him up, and a faint warm current poured into his body from her hands.

"As for the artifact, have you even used it?"

Shaking his head bitterly, An Mixiu said, "Now it's okay, the coffin of the underworld is completely useless." ”

"It's just a relic of the old era, Uncle An Mixiu doesn't care about it. ”

Shakiro stuck out her tongue, then timidly asked, "Will he really come tomorrow?"
