Chapter 735 II
PS: Thank you to the "Burning Ah 583" students for voting for their valuable monthly passes!
After some arguing, Grufia reveals the final solution agreed upon by the Sazex and Gimonri families and the Phoenix family - and that is to play a ranked game. It is a means to solve problems between demons with titles through the victory or defeat of battles between dependents.
After all, every pure-blooded and high-ranking demon is precious, and in addition to the rank, bloodline, identity, and status among the demons, the most recognized thing is also strength, and whoever has stronger strength will listen to whom.
It's just that in that case, casualties will inevitably appear, which is inconsistent with the idea that pure-blood demons are precious and need to keep their existence as much as possible in non-war times, so the battle between subordinates who can solve the problem and prove their strength without hurting the life of the pure-blood demon who is the lord has emerged.
After all, to a certain extent, the potential of forces and personnel is also a reflection of a person's strength.
Although the latter refers more to the future.
"In other words, my father has already thought about what to do if I refuse, and they have already decided that they want to decide this marriage contract with games, right? How far does he want to interfere with my way of life......! After listening to Grufia's words, Lias sighed helplessly and weakly. The expression looked quite irritated, and even the murderous aura came out.
"So the eldest lady is going to refuse the game?" Gurefia was unmoved, and asked directly. This level of murderous aura was far from the murderous aura emitted by those enemies that the demon had encountered during the war a hundred years ago, and it was not worth her attention at all.
Lias frowned, not agreeing as she did in the original book.
But if you think about it carefully, what is the situation of the original book? In addition to the existing dependents present, Hyoto Issei has the 'Red Dragon Emperor's cage hand' on his body, a god extinguishing device. My potential is very huge, as long as I use it well, I can make up for the lack of personnel. But now? Although Hyoto Issei is still there, the cage hand of the Red Dragon Emperor is gone, which greatly reduces the potential of Hyodo Issei. Coupled with the successive actions of the Zhou Dynasty and the opportunity for Hyoto Issei to lose his training, Hyoto Issei's current strength is not much weaker than the original book. How could she be able to make up her mind to play?
In that case, it's not a challenge, it's a death! Lias was not willing to risk her precious family at the risk of indifference.
So for a moment, Lias fell silent.
And this fell into the eyes of Ressell on the other side, that is, she had no choice but to be afraid, so the corners of Rysel, who was still gloomy before, curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a flirtatious smile, raised her chin to look at Lias who was standing next to Zhou Chao, and said with a smug and provocative expression, "What?" Scared? If that's the case, give up, and return to the Demon Realm with me immediately. Marry me. ”
"Good! I ......"
Lias looked angry when she heard this, even if she knew that Rysel was stimulating herself, she had to step into the trap of the other party, otherwise she was afraid that she would not even have the last chance, and she couldn't think of accepting her fate!
It's just that his words had just started when he was interrupted by Zhou Chao on the side.
"Ranked games? Sounds interesting. Well, I agreed. It's up to you and me to play a ranking game to decide where Lias ends. Zhou Chao stood up from the sofa and hugged the waist of Lias beside him and said.
"You?" Rysel frowned. Lias also turned her head and looked deeply at Zhou Chao's close face.
"I'm sorry. Mr. Zhou Chao, you are not a demon. So you can't take the place of Miss Lias in the ranked game. However, at this moment, Gurefia on the side spoke.
"I think you can ask Sazex about this, maybe he'll agree." Zhou Chao looked at Gurefia and smiled.
This is not nonsense. As Lias's own brother, Sazex broke away from the Gimonri family because he inherited the position of the previous demon king Lucifer and became the new generation of Lucifer. But his feelings for his sister have not weakened at all, so if he has the opportunity, he is also willing to help his sister.
Just like in the original book, after Lias lost the game again and had to marry Ressell, he asked Grefia to hand over a temporary magic card to Hyodo Issei at that time. So that he can directly descend to the demon world to complete the marriage robbery work.
Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty has reason to believe that in the happiness of his sister, Sazex will be willing to make appropriate concessions. What's more, isn't this an opportunity, a chance to see the strength of the Zhou Dynasty and his so-called Phantom Brigade?
After all, the Zhou Dynasty has a god destroying tool in his hands. The existence of the Red Dragon Emperor's cage hand, as one of the existences that can affect the balance of power of the three parties, cannot be ignored by him.
“…… Okay, wait a minute. Gu Reyfia looked at Zhou Chao deeply and nodded in agreement. Immediately, he didn't hide from everyone, and directly used magic to contact the demon king of the demon world in front of everyone, Lias's own brother - Sazex. Lucifer.
The next moment, the magic light screen flashed, and Sazex. Lucifer's avatar appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Grufia, is the matter decided?" Sazenx asked.
"Something went wrong." Grufia replied.
"Oh?"
Without hesitation, Grufia told Sazex the whole process. Of course, this also wrapped Zhou Chao's proposal, and then he quieted down and waited for Sazex's decision.
"You said you were going to take the place of Lias in the ranked game?" After a moment, Sazex looked at Zhou Chao, who was still holding Lias in the room, and said in a faint voice.
"Yes." Zhou Chao nodded in affirmation.
"What do you mean, Lias?" Sazex was noncommittal, then turned to Lias and asked.
"Since the contract is still there, and I am still a subordinate of the Zhou Dynasty, then the Zhou Dynasty has the right to interfere with my decision. So, I agree. Lias turned her head to look at Zhou Chao again, then exhaled softly and said calmly.
It seems that Lias is still unwilling to exist in her heart because she can't participate in the ranking game, and her marital happiness still has to be solved by someone else.
"In that case, well, I agree that Zhou Chao will participate in the ranked game instead of you." Hearing this, Sazex was silent for a few seconds, and finally decided. But it's not over, after a pause, he continued, "But correspondingly, you and your dependents can't join the game and become his help, all the contestants need to be found by Zhou Chao, no problem, right?" ”
"Yes." Lias naturally has no problem with this, after all, without her as a king, she can't even identify the enemy formation, not to mention the problem of soldier promotion, just the strength of other chess pieces will be affected, she doesn't want her family members whose strength is suppressed to fight with the enemy who is full of strength, so she happily agreed.
Then Sazex looked at Zhou Chao again and continued, "As for you, Zhou Chao, in addition to yourself, you can also choose a companion of no more than fifteen people to participate in the game. You have a week to prepare, and a week later you and Rysel. Phoenix's ranked game has officially begun, is there a problem? ”
"No problem." Zhou Chao nodded in agreement. A week is enough, after all, the manpower is ready-made, although he himself is only six, but all of them are strong, enough to crush all the dependents of Phoenix, but there is no need to find other people to come over to increase the combat power, that would be too bullying.
Of course, other than that, he didn't expect Sazex to give him seven days to be active. You must know that you are a free man, and no one knows the situation of the network behind you, if you are the kind of person who has a heart, you are not prepared to find a group of 15 powerful helpers to ensure this victory, which is not fair to Phoenix, and it is even very likely that the Phoenix family and the Gimonri family will be completely stiffened for this, and even have opinions about him as a demon king.
Therefore, Zhou Chao's original idea was that Sazex would start the game directly, or give Zhou Chao one to two days, no more than three days at most.
"Isn't he really afraid that he will be cheeky and affect him? Or does he have some other purpose? After agreeing, Zhou Chao squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Sazex in the magic light screen, and said secretly in his heart.
"Whatever you want. I'm here to see what you're trying to do. ”
"Well, seven days later, at ten o'clock in the morning, the game will officially begin." Sazex said. Then the magic light screen flashed, but it cut off the connection with Gurefia.
"Hmph, when the time comes, I will teach you what is the etiquette when facing a strong person." Rysel stared at Zhou Chao with a cold gaze and said coldly.
"I'm looking forward to it." Zhou Chao raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Hmph." Rysel snorted coldly, activated the magic array, and disappeared into the air in a sudden burst of fire.
"You can let me go." Then, Lias's voice rang out.
"Sorry, forgot." Although he said that, Zhou Chao's face did not show the slightest meaning, so he took his hand away from Lias's waist with a smile and took it back.
"You wait here for a while, and I'll talk to you about Rysel." Seeing this, Lias didn't say anything, just spoke in a calm tone, and followed Gurefia out of the office of the old school building, leaving only Ryan Himejima and other Lias's dependents looking at each other.
Fortunately, this time was not very long, and it was only about half an hour before Lias returned to the office in a red magic light. However, he still didn't pay attention to Zhou Chao immediately, but delegated the demonic work he received to Kiba Yuto, Hyoto Kassei and Tacheng Kitten as usual, and let them go out to work, before he left and walked to Zhou Chao and sat down.
