Chapter 122: The Capital
The other stone bridge didn't have so many things, and the road was smooth on that side, and Sig and the others crossed the river without much effort.
Although he lost a lot of evil spirits, it was not a problem for Sigurd.
And then it went on for a few more days.
This detour was delayed a little, but fortunately it was not late. The day before the grand ceremony, they finally arrived at the Fire Demon Capital.
It was a dark city towering in the middle of the wilderness, with huge walls tens of meters high.
The walls are made of black exotic stone bricks, smooth and level. Because of the age, a little green moss vegetation is exposed in the brick joints, and some of them will emit a faint green fluorescence, which is very weird.
And above the capital, there was a consistent gray sky, as if a dark whirlpool was spinning, and the atmosphere became inexplicably oppressive.
High on the top of the city walls hung shriveled corpses, some of which had even been reduced to skeletons. Their tattered clothes made a fierce noise against the gloomy wind.
The city gate is a round arch, dozens of meters high, and several giant evil spirits wearing armor are standing guard.
After revealing their identities, Sig and the others easily entered the city, and of course, many of the accompanying troops were taken to another place to settle. It was impossible for them to enter the city.
Sigurt only brought three small bosses in with blood food, and for some reason, when he first stepped into the capital, his stomach rumbled.
A feeling of hunger hit him instantly, making Sig's eyes glow and his saliva secretion was vigorous, and he wanted to grab an evil spirit and devour it.
"Strange, why am I hungry all of a sudden. Sieg held back this desire, feeling a trace of inexplicability in his heart.
In the Flame Demon Capital, pedestrians come and go, but the strange thing is that the scene is quiet. The evil spirits cowered one by one, even if they gathered together, they only signaled with their eyes, and if they had to speak, they said in a low voice.
The whole capital is surprisingly quiet.
"My lord, the Flame Demon Commander has always disliked noise, and there is a rule in his capital that anyone who makes more than a certain level of noise must have their tongues cut out, and then be stripped of their skin and hung at the gates of the city. ”
Sigurt remembered the rows of corpses at the gate of the city before, and his face suddenly became strange.
"This Commander has a really different personality. "Evil spirits are generally irritable and irritable, and this Lord of the Fire Demon not only likes to be quiet, but also hates the noise of others. It's really intriguing.
Seeger instructed everyone to be careful not to make too much noise.
It is a typical medieval-style town with well-organized houses.
The group quickly crossed the streets and came to the castle of the Fire Demon Lord.
It is a huge castle with a dark black body, built on a high ground, and looks down on the entire capital city from a high vantage point.
The castle was built very imposingly, and the gate alone was more than ten meters high, and Sig and the others stood under the door, only feeling as if they had entered the kingdom of giants, and everything seemed small.
The entire giant castle was like a lurking beast, lying on the ground exuding invisible coercion.
An old man in a tuxedo was standing outside the door, smiling as he greeted the many ghost knights who had come to pay tribute.
The man had a pointed nose with a hint of barb, and his smile always seemed to have a hint of strange emotion.
"After a hard work, please follow me into the castle to rest, and there will be a dinner party in the evening. The old man smiled slightly.
Tomorrow is the birthday of the Fire Demon, and the grand ceremony will naturally be held tomorrow.
This Fire Demon Commander from the lower plane of the Abyss has a total of fifty-six Evil Ghost Knights under his command, but among them, the Evil Ghost Knights who have reached the first level of strength are only eleven in total, including Sige.
Low-level Evil Ghost Knights can only find their own place to live in the capital, and only first-class Evil Ghost Knights are eligible to live in the Flame Demon Castle and enjoy high-standard treatment.
Sieg naturally showed his first-level strength, he came to the grand ceremony this time in order to compete for more rewards, more fiefdoms, and naturally did not need to hide his strength.
He nodded, and was about to say something, but at this time, a few more people came from behind.
At the head of the pack are two male evil spirits.
When Sieg saw the man's figure, his face suddenly became playful.
That male evil spirit is none other than the Knight of Philen!
"It's pretty fast. Sieg thought that he and the others had obviously spent more time because of the detour, which allowed the other party to catch up.
"The tribute was robbed by me, I see how you survive this grand ceremony, hehe. Sig looked at the other party slightly provocatively, after all, this was the territory of the Lord, and he didn't believe that the other party dared to make a move.
And it doesn't matter if you do it, even if Sig doesn't become a giant, even if he can't beat it in the same level, he can still run.
The hapless Philen knight was a little disgraced and embarrassed at the moment.
A few days ago, when he was robbing the town of Poxi, he suddenly received information that the team he sent to escort the tribute was robbed!
He blew up and jumped up all at once.
That's no small feat.
At the beginning, in order not to delay his participation in the Fire Demon Festival, he asked his henchmen to carry the tribute first, and equipped them with elite weapons. Originally, I thought that this would be enough, after all, no inconspicuous thief would dare to rob the tribute of the Lord of the Fire Demon.
Who knew something like this would happen.
The damn Knight of Sig, instead of following the script, rushed back to the rescue, but instead left his people alone and swaggered to grab his tribute to attend the Fire Demon Festival.
This is the most infuriating.
Philon also noticed Sigurt at this moment, but strangely, his eyes became flickering at the moment, and he seemed to be a little afraid to look at Sigurd.
"Are you afraid?" Sieg wanted to taunt him, but when he saw the other party's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
It stands to reason that he robbed the other party's tribute, and this greedy Philen should be like thunder, why is it now like a mouse seeing a cat, cowering?
What happened?
Just as Philon was about to bypass Sieg and go straight into the castle, another male evil spirit next to him noticed Sigurd.
"Wow, what a handsome little evil spirit. The man's eyes lit up, and then he walked over to himself, ignoring Philen's tugging.
The male demon was very handsome, with a pointed chin and fiery red hair. His face is like a knife, his body is slender, and his skin is different from that of ordinary evil spirits, which is particularly smooth.
"Sir, I don't know if I have the privilege of knowing your name. The male evil spirit's eyes were now staring at Sigurt with burning eyes, as if he had seen some beautiful woman stripped naked.
Sieg is now a poisonous fire demon in the atavistic state, he is not bad looking, and the appearance of turning into an evil spirit is naturally extremely prominent.
Sieg ignored the man and said bluntly, "Get out of here, dead faggot." ”
This male evil spirit is also a first-level powerhouse, and he was not angry when he was reprimanded like this by Sige, but looked at his body, and then smiled: "So that's the case, then I'll change my appearance." ”
After he finished speaking, his body began to wriggle and change like plasticine, his eyes became larger, his nose became smaller, and his body shrank......
In a few breaths, the originally handsome and tall male evil spirit suddenly became a graceful girl with long red hair and a hot body.
In particular, her breasts were as round as two coconut balls, breaking several buttons of her clothes directly.
"Your Excellency...... This is Jelena Knight, and he's an androgynous evil spirit who likes to collect all kinds of handsome men and women......" Serra said cautiously as she leaned over and spoke into Sig's ear.
"I see. Sieg looked at the hot beauty in front of him with some surprise, and then smiled and said, "Tsk, is this right, punctual enough." ”
