Chapter 137: Gambling

The demon's charter is much simpler than Xia Xin imagined.
Thazex Lucifer, a pure-blooded demon from the Gimonri family but inherited the destructive power of his mother's Bal family, when he said the word duke in front of many demon nobles, it already meant that Xia Xin, as a descendant of the Aini family, was officially restored to the title of duke.
As a demon king, he has such power and power.
However, the direct restoration of Aini's old territory is not within the scope of this authority, even if it is a demon king, he must follow the basic rule of the demons - strength and strength are respected.
If Xia Xin wants to get back the land of Aini, he can only use his own strength to obtain it, even if he has the support of the Demon King and the Seventy-two Pillars, all he can do is provide him with such a stage.
This place is obviously one of the stages.
And for Xia Xin, this is indeed a place that must be obtained, since he wants to mix in the demon society in the name of Aini, and the ancestral city can't get it back, then he can't get it back, so he can't get it together.
"Yes, I'm going to make that request."
He picked up the red-haired demon king's words crisply and cheerfully.
"Humph!"
The other demon nobles were left alone, and the male demon with the appearance of a forty-year-old human let out an angry snort.
Obviously, he was the Marquis of Ramonton.
Presumably, he and Xia Xin will definitely not have a friendly relationship for a long time, the lord system is always accompanied by the struggle between the lords, and the demon is no different from a human in this regard, but in the past few hundred years, the traditional way of fighting has been replaced by a ranked game that can minimize the death of people.
And in the face of the Marquis of Ramonton's anger, Xia Xin didn't care.
He could clearly feel the fluctuations in the magic of this marquis, and it was not a role he couldn't handle.
As for attitude...... The Marquis had been extremely unfriendly to him from the beginning, so why should he care if the other party would become even more unfriendly?
"Then Lord Duke, how are you going to bet with me? Where are you going to gamble with me? ”
In the face of the opponent who came to the door to grab the turf, the Marquis of Ramonton obviously did not intend to maintain much grace, and he showed great momentum.
And some greed.
This is something that Xia Xin doesn't understand - as a challenger, if he fails, then the land that was originally going to be exchanged will have to be given to the other party for nothing.
After all, each other is a nobleman, and since the challenger has the right to challenge, then the challenged, in the case of victory, should also be compensated for in terms of interests.
This is also the basic rule of the demon society, the strong will be treated preferentially to the greatest extent, and the weak will be the opposite.
However, it was said that the attitude of the Marquis of Ramonton at this time immediately caused a certain amount of commotion among the surrounding nobles.
A marquis, behaving so aggressively in the face of a duke, is already very disrespectful.
The aristocracy is not short of material things, and what they usually earn is a face, which can be regarded as a very serious problem.
But now no one is accusing this, everyone is watching, or rather expecting Xia Xin's reaction.
"If I lose, you can take all the land."
Xia Xin's answer was obviously unexpected,
"But if you lose, the land is not available, just get out, do you dare to bet?"
Ramonton caused a commotion, and he caused an uproar.
This can be described as a big gamble, for both sides, nearly half a million square kilometers of third-class land, for the Marquis of Ramonton is not something to ignore.
Of course, whether the new duke is confident or simply ignorant, the nobles do not care, they care about the result.
The momentum competition between Rammonton and Xia Xin is the first game.
The Marquis of Ramonton, who has been a nobleman for hundreds of years, is like an upstart, and in terms of equipment, he is not as good as Xia Xin, who has just become a nobleman.
This makes the pure-blood nobles happy on the side, and the reincarnated nobles are not in a good mood.
The nobles are in the camp, in fact, they can't simply distinguish whether they are pure-blooded or not, after all, some of the reincarnated nobles are from the pure-blood family, although they have become independent, but the former master-servant relationship has not been diluted, but there is such a connection of the family, after all, it is only a very small part, and today's reincarnated nobles are mainly developed from the first batch of reincarnated nobles, and most of them have little to do with pure-blood families.
And as one of the seventy-two pillars, the relationship between Ini, Xia Xin and the Marquis of Ramonton is simply the epitome of the so-called pure-blood reincarnation controversy.
They don't have any relationship with each other, and they don't like each other.
Ramonton thinks that Shaxin is disgusting him on behalf of the pure-blood side, and Shaxin is even more uncomfortable looking at Ramonton, who was unfriendly to him from the beginning.
"Since the Duke is so generous, it's good to !!"
But he said Ramonton, and when he heard Xia Xin's words, his face darkened.
He wanted to slap Xia Xin's face, but instead he was beaten by Xia Xin, how embarrassing it was.
He didn't want to have a verbal battle with Xia Xin anymore, so he walked directly to the field,
"I also know the situation of the duke, so let's be king against king."
"Single-handed, single-handed, what king is not king."
From the aristocratic point of view, Xia Xin is the turtle of the turtles, but after experiencing the world of GS and the god killer, he began to have the things that the demons admired - brutality, domineering, and violence.
The flames spread out from behind him, taking the shape of wings, and the light of the flames did not stop, and began to condense into something like a halo in him.
It was the sun, and soon, its form became very clear.
This is something that Xia Xin awakened and developed in the Godslayer World, but he hasn't used it properly since he returned.
"Let me state first, I'll try not to push too hard, but if your body is too fragile, it's better to keep your strength for defense."
Surrounded by flames, Xia Xin said.
"If you can do it, please try it."
The Marquis of Ramonton roared angrily, and a spear appeared in his right hand, silver.
In appearance, it is the kind of spear used by knights in the human world hundreds of years ago.
On his right hand, a large shield appeared.
"If the Duke's strength is stronger than that of the dragon, I can consider your proposal."
He smiled contemptuously.
"Disgusting guy ......"
Tannin muttered to the side, but his muttering was clear enough for the demons present......
However, the conflict between the Marquis of Ramonton and the former dragon lord was no longer interested in what everyone had long been familiar with.
What everyone was interested in at this time was the strength of the Aini clan, which had been extinct for hundreds of years.
And right now, what Xia Xin showed made some people who still had memories of Aini look surprised.
Obviously, this is not the Ani flame they remember.
"I reminded you."
Xia Xin said as if in confirmation, the sun behind him began to disappear, and correspondingly, the fire on his body vaguely showed some kind of phantom, it looked like a bird, but at a second glance, it seemed to have turned into a cow.
Ramonton's response was to raise the silver gun in his hand.
This is an artifact, and the shield of the other hand is a set, and it is precisely because of this that he became a demon, and then he was made a nobleman, not only promoted to the rank of marquis, but also obtained this land.
The spear can pierce the body of any dragon, the shield can also withstand the attack of the dragon's power, and of course, this artifact is powerful even if it is not aimed at the dragon's power.
Marquis of the Dragon Slayer, that's his name.
Of course, this is also the reason why Tanning dislikes him, and he has a bad relationship with Tanning after acquiring this land.
He couldn't get rid of his penchant for dragon hunting, even poaching.
As for the new duke in front of him, he has never had a good impression of this kind of guy who eats the food of his ancestors, even if he is a descendant of Aini, but Xia Xin's flame will never be stronger than Tanning's flame, right?
Thinking so, Xia Xin's "reminder" sounded humiliating to him.
"You give me ......"
He sneered and said what he had wanted to say a long time ago.
Until he found that there was no one in front of him.
This is also his last thought on this day.
