Chapter 5: Re-entry into the Demon Realm
Murong Lan straightened up and walked towards Ola, every movement exuded a huge momentum, shaking Ola's heart. Coming to Ola, Murong Lan was obviously taller than Ola, and looked at each other condescendingly at the moment.
"Lord Wang, you, you still have ······ Such ······ Change?" Ora said in surprise, her body unconsciously taking two steps back.
"Didn't you see it all, why do you still ask this?" Murong Lan's fangs were extremely mad when he spoke, "It can't be that you're scared, right?"
“······” Aura looked Murong Lan up and down, "How long can this change last?"
“······ There is no limit!" Murong Lan said calmly, but a thought popped up in his heart - maybe this form was what he really looked like!
"Then there is no need for us to continue, even if my change can last as long as the prince, I am not the prince's opponent!" said Ora as he retracted his demonization, his face bitter.
"It's boring~" Murong Lan was stunned for a moment, slightly disappointed, he really wanted to see how strong his transformation was at the moment.
"No way, I'm really not the prince's opponent~" Ola said, saluting Murong Lan, "Then I'll leave next~"
"I'll go to the Demon Domain!" Murong Lan also retracted his transformation.
"Sweep the couch!" Ora's voice came from afar.
After Murong Lan left, he also left here, and after returning to the border of the empire, Murong Lan naturally wanted to check on it, and the Jiang brothers and sisters had managed the border very well. In a new town, Murong Lan asked Jiang Xiran to find a secret room for himself.
After entering the palace, Murong Lan opened the jade sarcophagus of the Earth Sage, and there was no corpse of the Earth Sage inside, only a black stone the size of a fist, but this stone was not shining red from the inside out.
"Is this the Divine Stone?" Murong Lan stretched out his right hand towards the Divine Stone, "That's what that reclaimable Divine Stone looks like?"
"Wait a minute!" the sword spirit suddenly stopped Murong Lan, "Childe is going to devour the Divine Stone?"
"That's right, let's not talk about how powerful the Divine Fighting Stone is, but its ability to devour other minerals makes me very tempted!" Murong Lan said, "Even metals are also bred in ores, and with the Divine Fighting Stone, my natal divine weapon can be continuously strengthened!"
"That's true, but this is the Earth Sage, isn't it disrespectful to do this?" said the Sword Spirit.
"The earth sages are all dead, let him contribute to the great achievements of this king!" With that, Murong Lan grabbed the Divine Stone with his right hand, and the powerful force shattered the black impurities on the surface of the Divine Stone, revealing the red Divine Stone.
"This color is right!" Murong Lan held the Divine Stone with his right hand and began to slowly devour the Divine Stone, and merged it into the Natal Divine Weapon.
"Alas~" Sword Spirit sighed and didn't say anything more. And Murong Lan's Natal Divine Soldier was constantly trembling in his arm, obviously with the integration of the Divine Stone, the Natal Divine Soldier was getting more and more excited.
"Huh?" After Murong Lan devoured the Divine Stone, he found that there was a line of words under the Divine Stone, which was an ancient script, and it was written - Water Sage is in Cold Iceland.
"The Water Sage is in Cold Iceland?!" Murong Lan was a little suspicious, the Water Sage lived in seclusion, why did this Earth Sage leave her place? Is it to let someone go to him? Murong Lan looked at that line of words with a deep brow.
"Childe, do you want to go to the Water Sage?" the Sword Spirit asked.
"Besides, there are things in the Demon Domain that interest me more!" Murong Lan said.
"Oh, could it be that the prince wants to learn that demonization?"
"Hehe~" Murong Lan was noncommittal.
Murong Lan first chose some demon clothes to wear on his body in the chaotic land, mainly to hide his identity as a human race, and now the two races hate each other, and it is still very troublesome to walk in the demon domain with the image of a human race, but Huangfu Wushuang and Zhan Lili didn't want to waste any more time, so they decided to cultivate in the palace and try to improve themselves, but asked Murong Lan to come and see the two of them from time to time.
The style of the clothes of the demon clan is very different from that of the empire, but the general type is no different, for example, the armor worn by the soldiers is also divided into heavy and light; Murong Lan chose light armor to wear on his body, after all, Murong Lan still doesn't like the clothes of the demon clan very much, and this light armor has a hood, which can just hide the image. However, Murong Lan also had another outfit in addition - he released the dragon horns a little, so that he was like a member of the demon clan, although the demon clan walking in the demon domain was also very special, it would not cause too much trouble.
After buying a carriage, Murong Lan set foot on the land of the Demon Domain for the second time.
This time is different from the previous time, this time it is more like a trip to the mountains and rivers, and the mood is no longer so tense.
Along the way, through the desert, through the wasteland, and into the grassland, Murong Lan looked at the land of the demon race, and sighed very much in his heart, with such a magnificent scenery, why did he have to fight? Wouldn't it be better for all the races to live peacefully? What the human race needed was aura, and the vitality that the demon race wanted, and there was no absolute conflict between the two sides at all.
On the way, Murong Lan harvested forty-two spiritual roots through the Golden Crow King Machine Beast, these spiritual roots can be described as treasures in the eyes of the human race, but they are not as precious as those in the eyes of the demon race, and he has not even paid much attention to them.
A month later, Murong Lan entered the prosperous region of the Demon Clan, and the last time he led troops to invade, he didn't go so deep. The demon architecture here is very beautiful, especially in some small towns, there are no city walls, everyone is very harmonious with each other, there is no distinction between states, and the whole demon domain is under the rule of the demon lord. It's just that some nobles, that is, those horned demons or some noble demons live in castles with some city walls, I heard that these nobles are often challenged, and I don't know why. The common people have their own reasons for their challenges, but what are the reasons of the nobles? Could it be the same as among the common people, for the sake of a beautiful woman?
"Look at these demons, life is much more peaceful than the empire!" Murong Lan said, "Maybe what I see is just a superficial phenomenon, but it's still good~"
"Childe, why did you suddenly have this idea?" Xiaoqing's voice came from the dragon's horns.
"It's just a little emotional, you don't have to care~" Murong Lan said, with a flick of the whip, the carriage sped up.
After arriving in a prosperous but somewhat noisy town, Murong Lan put his hood on his head and walked into a tavern, whether it was a human race or a demon race, the tavern was a good place to find out the news.
The tavern of the demon is very different from that of the human race, the internal light of the tavern of the human race is much brighter than that of the demon race, and the layout is also very different, the tavern of the demon race is a place to drink, there are not many dishes, and it is very simple, that is, the types of seasonings are very small, and the dishes of the human race are exquisite, meticulous and cumbersome, and most of the taverns have a long "table" ,On one side is the guest,On the other side is the waiter.,The waiter will constantly communicate with the guests.,From time to time bursts of laughter;In addition, the demon tavern will also have other tables for guests.,But the table here is not big.,Just three or four people will surround the table.。
And the tavern that Murong Lan entered at this moment was very famous in the Demon Clan, called the Death Tavern. It's a killer organization that's a lot like the Empire's Shadow Temple, so it's very well-informed. Almost every larger town has this Tavern, but the bustling town Death Tavern will be more well-informed.
Murong Lan sat at a small table, then ordered some drinks and began to listen carefully to the conversations of the people around him; in the chaotic land, Murong Lan exchanged for a large amount of demon currency, and the demon clan used a long currency made of crystals, black crystals were the most valuable, red was second, and white was the lowest.
There is a bulletin board in the Tavern of Death, and if you want to post a quest, you only need to make some notes at the tavern waiter, and then you can post the quest, and when the killer completes the task, the waiter here will do some confirmation procedures, and then the fee will be handed over to the killer; although this is a place where killers gather, no fights are allowed, unless you pay the Tavern of Death a certain price, which means turning the grudge into business.
The difference between the Death Tavern and the Shadow Hall is that it can also buy and sell news, and the Shadow Hall and other news are shared internally, but the Death Tavern sells them as commodities.
Here, Murong Lan got a lot of information from the surrounding population, especially there is a great difference between the demon race and the human race, that is, although the demon race also has some forces, most of them are mainly in the form of families, and then there are various academies, this academy is the same as the Imperial Martial Academy, and the student disciples will end their studies and return home after studying and practicing in the academy for a period of time.
From this also determines a phenomenon, that is: the quality of personnel from all walks of life of the demon race is very high, so the common people also have to challenge each other; and the soldiers of the demon race can be recruited faster, not to mention that all the people of the demon race are soldiers, but it is almost the same, and they can quickly form combat effectiveness when assembled, unlike the empire, many civilians do not meet the conditions for being soldiers at all, that is, they need a lot of time to train after being gathered.
"Alas~" Murong Lan looked at all kinds of people in the tavern, and couldn't help but sigh, I have to say that the demon clan is superior to the empire in some places, and if it goes on for a long time, the demon clan's top combat power will become more and more. But it's strange to say, after the spirit race transformed into a demon race, its fertility has improved a lot, and the spirit race does not have such a large population base as the demon race.
Just when Murong Lan was drinking silently, he had been targeted by some people, and the reason was very old-fashioned - Murong Lan threw a black crystal to the waiter when he paid for the wine, and he was so generous, which made many people feel bad. (This black crystal is enough to pay for the entire drink in this tavern.)
"When did a demon come to the tavern?!" a sharp voice sounded, and it was a female voice.
