Chapter 22: Night
A raven stood by the open window on one side of the castle, and tilted its head at the view of the castle, and suddenly a soft piano sounded in the castle.
Under the soothing sound of the piano, even the eerie lighting tones inside the castle softened.
The forest around the castle also seemed to be infected by the sound of the piano, and the evil spirits that inhabited the darkness of the forest stopped the commotion, and looked up in some confusion to listen to the notes that seemed to soothe the resentment in their hearts, so soft and warm that people wanted to fall asleep.
The crow jumped on the windowsill a few times, intending to wave its wings and leave the place, but was also infected by the warm notes of the sun, closed its eyes and chose to take a short rest on the windowsill.
"Nice lullaby."
Qiao Xiu sat on the floor of the room where he had just dined, enjoying the slow version of Canon played by the Skeleton Father.
Skeleton Gong didn't seem to put much less effort into music than he did in necromancy, and after Qiao Xiu composed the music for "Canon" to him, a thousand different sensations could pop up under his playing.
This one is a slow-pitched version used for sleep, and it seems that the skeleton still remembers that Qiao Xiu is a creature that needs sleep.
There was a fluffy rug on the floor, soft enough to be used as a bed.
In fact, Miss Ciri, a sorceress, had already used the rug as a bed, and she fell asleep by the fireplace with a pillow embroidered with gold patterns.
The encounters in the past few days have made Ciri tired, and the encounter in the demon world can definitely be called thrilling and exciting, even if Ciri knows that he must not expose his defenseless appearance in front of these demons, but driven by tiredness, Ciri just fell asleep on a pillow in the hall.
It's a pity that Ciri didn't let her guard down on Qiao Xiu, Qiao Xiu glanced at the magic wand that Ciri was holding in her hand, as long as there was a stir, she would wake up immediately.
The long light gray hair of the young lady magician fell down to her shoulders, and her cheeks looked a little rosy in the light of the fire.
It's nice when it's quiet.
Qiao Xiu has always felt that Ciri has a unique temperament, and the specific Qiao Xiu can't describe it, wild? It's a little inappropriate, and to describe it as a little uncultured is a bit fierce.
A girl like Heri who puts her on the earth is probably the kind of girl who never wears makeup when she goes out, and never spoils even if she has a boyfriend, but Qiao Xiu feels that this kind of girl is the type that should be spoiled the most.
Ciri had already fallen asleep, but Qiao Xiu was not sleepy.
The programmed ape is a creature that doesn't need to sleep while typing code, and working overtime is almost a daily routine.
Although Qiao Xiu's work is not so hard, Qiao Xiu does often forget to sleep when typing code...... As for the reason, Qiao Xiu can only say that it is interesting to change the code and not code!
"Don't you need sleep, Zenath?"
Qiao Xiu's fingers twitched in mid-air, trying to convert the inscription symbols into a programming language he was familiar with.
Qiao Xiu's ability to see these inscriptions does not mean that Qiao Xiu can use them, at present, Qiao Xiu has only read about half of the inscriptions, and the remaining part is still being studied.
But this half is enough for Qiao Xiu to knock on a few small things that can run without being based on the system.
Qiao Xiu picked up a glass of mulled wine on the floor with his other hand, this state of work finally made Qiao Xiu regain the feeling of being on the earth, of course, there would not be a humanoid lion on the earth that was close to two meters tall and stood behind Qiao Xiu.
"Your Highness." Since Joe was sitting on the floor, Zenas half-knelt down and hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know whether to say the next thing or not.
"Just say it if there's anything, I won't mind."
Qiao Xiu could see that this demon of sinful karma had something on his mind, and his heart was far more delicate than his appearance.
"I have no objection to you befriending a human, but if you were looking for a mate, Your Majesty would never agree to you marrying a human." As he spoke, Zenas glanced at Ciri, who was sleeping soundly by the fireplace.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Zenas's words made Qiao Xiu choke on red wine.
The bloodline of the Chaos Demon is extremely rare in the Demon Realm, and coupled with the pitiful short lifespan and low fertility rate of this race itself, the Chaos Demon Clan is forbidden to intermarry with other races in the Demon Realm.
It is impossible for those nobles in the Demon Realm, let alone a human being.
"I have three other siblings, and my father won't rely on me even if he wants to continue the offspring, and... I've had someone I like for a long time. β
Qiao Xiu put the cup in his hand, and with a slight stroke of his other hand in mid-air, the inscriptions that had been written by Qiao Xiu were pulled to the other side, and then Qiao Xiu's hand was shaken, and the inscriptions suddenly condensed into a whole, and then turned into the shape of a window.
This feeling reminded Joshew of Tony in "Iron Man" when he was controlling Jarvis.
"Don't talk about that, do you have any faith in Zenas?"
Qiao Xiu took out a wooden statue, this statue was the same statue that Ciri used to preach to Qiao Xiu before, Qiao Xiu dipped his fingers in red wine, and wrote a magic inscription on the floor next to him with water stains, forming a magic array.
"We demon clans believe in the fire of sin, which represents the flame of sin and punishment, and the more sins the enemy commits, the greater the suffering they suffer."
A faint spark erupted from the gaps in Zenath's magma-like skin.
Since Qiao Xiu was going to end this topic, Zenas didn't dare to ask the question of 'who is the person he already likes', and just focused on the small magic array that Qiao Xiu had written.
"Then Zenas shouldn't mind letting you learn another piece of magic, right?"
The magic used by demons is not as disciplined as that of humans, and demons emphasize more on power, firepower, and resolutely do not take Beretta pistols if they can use RPG bazookas.
This also leads to the fact that the magic of the demons does not rely on inscriptions to construct one spell after another with different functions, and it is enough for them to directly release their own magic power, which is simple and rude.
"If this is His Highness's order......" Zenas said.
"Then you put your hands on this statue."
Qiao Xiu, the head of the demon, can believe in God, of course Zenas is fine, the pale white light poured into Zenas's body, this hideous appearance of the demon successfully transformed into a white magician representing order.
"How many of these symbols have appeared in front of your eyes?"
Qiao Xiu showed several of the most simple and easy-to-understand inscriptions to Zenas.
"One."
It seems that this fierce demon of sinful karma has no attainment in magic, and he has enough power to abandon that so-called knowledge.
"And now can you see this thing in my hand?"
Qiao Xiu spread out his five fingers, and in Zenas's eyes, a white square was spinning in Qiao Xiu's hand.
Zenas nodded to see it.
"Then go on."
With a wave of his hand, Qiao Xiu threw the block at Zenas, and the cube easily went directly into Zenas's body.
This result surprised Qiao Xiu, and it seemed that even if he understood the inscription less, he could still accept the inscription program written by Qiao Xiu.
After all, when users use a program, they can't first learn how to make a program, right?
It seems that the same is true of the definition given by the gods of this world to the inscriptions.
A white square suddenly appeared in Zenas's field of vision.
"Your Highness... What is thisβ" Zenas rubbed his eyes, and saw that the object was still floating in his field of vision.
"Well, the chat window, as for the function."
Qiao Xiu's fingers tapped in the void.
'Are you ready for the day after tomorrow?' β
A line of words suddenly appeared in the window in front of Zenas's eyes, and he fell into a daze, then looked at Qiao Xiu.
"Uh... You only have one inscription and don't seem to be able to reply to me.,Sure enough, do you still need to make up an input method? β
Qiao Xiu found that there was still a long way to go to achieve Internet interaction, although Qiao Xiu now uses a local area network.
