Chapter XXXVIII
"Summer rain?"
Seeing Xia Yu, Vivian, who was preparing the next day's meal in the room, shouted in surprise.
The middle-aged aunt with the bucket waist who was helping next to her also looked over, and because of Xia Yu's previous advice, Vivian privately called Xia Yu directly, instead of Lei Luo.
Running to Xia Yu's side in surprise, Vivian's smile was like a blooming flower.
"You're finally back!"
Vivien then looked out the door again and said in surprise, "Where's Jill?"
Xia Yu made a reluctant smile expression, nodded slightly to the aunt in the room, took off her coat and coat, and the aunt also knew that the young couple had a lot to say, so she said: "It's also busy here, you have something to say slowly, I'll go back first." β
As the bucket-waisted aunt left, Vivian poured a cup of hot water and sat beside Xia Yu obediently, with a pair of big eyes as if she could speak, waiting for a response.
Xia Yu took the hot water, looked at Vivian next to her, and said slowly, "Guitar...... He's dead. β
"Dead?"
Covering her mouth and widening her eyes, Vivian looked at Xia Yu in disbelief, tears in her eyes, she couldn't believe it, she was a good person, how could she say that she would die.
"Yes, dead, a lot has happened this winter, hey......"
Xia Yu ** Vivian's soft hair, this poisonous soul let the bewitching devil know that no matter in any world in the future, he must reject those selfless emotions full of positive energy, and followers can only exist with greed, desire, not emotional deception.
After understanding the rules of survival of the bewitching devil, Xia Yu began to tell in detail about the experience of this winter field training.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Vivian and Aunt Bucket Waist were buying and selling meals, and Xia Yu was helping by the side regardless of her status as a knight of holy light.
Even if it's hypocritical, even if it's a show, what's the matter?
In the eyes of others, if you don't even know how to act, and you don't care about superficial kung fu, you are really hopelessly naΓ―ve.
In his spare time, Xia Yu sat down to rest for a while, thinking about the minimum requirements of several conditions if he tried to open the door of the devil.
First of all, as the imperial capital of St. Chidon, as a space-time node that breaks the rift in time and space, of course there is no problem, but if the other three conditions are used, it will be worse.
Using the gold coins that people in this world like the most popular as a medium wealth sacrifice and placing them as a special devil altar symbol, this is easy to say, because of Xia Yu's special identity, as long as you are willing to spend your heart, even if you borrow it, you can get enough gold and silver coins.
As far as followers are concerned, at least ten people are needed, and it is somewhat difficult to arrange for Vivi to be excluded.
The most difficult thing is a large number of deaths, although the dead are not necessarily humans, but can also be pigs, cows, sheep and other livestock, but combined with the devil symbols of followers and gold coins, thinking of Evan and Liya can know what Vivien did, such a devil summoning ritual is as difficult as a sky.
"In contrast, it is safer to start a war of faith to collect souls. β
As the first bewitching world, Xia Yu does not have enough bewitchment experience, and his foundation is very weak, so he requires a stable income as much as possible to lay the foundation for the host of the next bewitchment to have a higher starting point or potential.
Dada-da.
While Xia Yu was thinking, suddenly, a team of noble knights stopped in front of this inconspicuous restaurant.
The passers-by paused for a moment.
"Honorable Knight of Light Lei Luo, congratulations on your excellent results in this winter field training, I am specially invited to the palace dinner tonight by order of Your Majesty. β
As he spoke, the gorgeously dressed housekeeper dressed up as a character handed the invitation to Xia Yu.
A court dinner?
Xia Yu also secretly thought about creating chaos and contradictions between the church and the nobility, triggering a power war within the St. Kiedon Empire, but after only a little thought, it was vetoed.
On the one hand, the nobles, as believers in the God of Light, support the development of the Church of Light, and on the other hand, the Church of Light is also ignorant of the spirit of the believers, offsetting the pain of the common people being oppressed by the aristocracy, diluting the sense of resistance, and maintaining the rule and luxurious life of the nobles.
A subtle bundle of interests has been formed between the two.
It can be said that it is more difficult to cause a contradiction between the two than to cause a war of faith!
So, what are these court nobles looking for themselves?
Could it be that within the Church, as a "pseudo-hero" who inherited a part of Santammy's prestige, he had already influenced the nobility?
Impossible.
After Xia Yu instinctively accepted the invitation, he showed a polite smile and said with great interest: "Oh, Your Majesty actually invited me, it is really an honor, I wonder if I can bring my relatives with me?"
"Of course. β
The housekeeper also used etiquette, and the guests who were enjoying the food in this ordinary restaurant were almost stunned, this ordinary restaurant that had been open for a winter, the owner was so powerful?
After these court knights left, passers-by seemed to come over to cheer and say some flattering words in order to have a good time, which made the hard-working Vivian very uncomfortable, and she didn't know what to do, while Xia Yu was completely silent and continued to help.
......
Night.
Knock knock knock......
Strange orchestral instruments complement each other, candlelit crystal lamps illuminate the huge palace as if it were daytime, beautiful women and girls intersperse the dance floor, and aristographers raise their glasses to celebrate.
After Xia Yu and Vivian changed into their dresses, they sat calmly in the corner of the hall.
Generally speaking, people in the church rarely attend aristocratic banquets, but at this moment, Xia Yu is just an ordinary Holy Light Knight, and he has not yet been officially promoted to the arbiter, so it doesn't matter.
"Summer rain, we ...... What should I do?"
Vivien asked, bewildered, her tunic making her a little unnatural.
Xia Yu said indifferently: "Just eat here, someone will come to us." β
From time to time, there are beautiful women and girls who look at Xia Yu, but as a high-level official in the imperial capital, coupled with the brilliant results of this winter field training, people who are interested in Xia Yu naturally find out Xia Yu's "achievements" in Alpha City, and these noble ladies and girls don't want to be the second Yaliana.
Several nobles who had been familiar with Lei Luo took the initiative to come over to greet Xia Yu, and Vivian on the side was like a Cinderella, tired of coping, silently eating delicious food.
Gradually, as the banquet drew to the end, as Xia Yu said, the person who should have come finally came.
Golden hair, eyebrows reveal a bit of youthful handsomeness, but it was destroyed by the fat belly at the moment, this person is none other than the king of the St. Kiedon Empire!
However, compared to his ancestors, this king has completely become a dependency of the Church of Light, and has become a citizen of God in the world, the symbolism is far greater than the actual power, greedy for enjoyment, and the royal nobles have long been accustomed to this kind of life, and they do not want to dispute anything with the Church of Light.
Beside the king, there stood two strong men, and the bewitching devil's soul snooped and got a series of "?".
"Hehehe, Knight of the Holy Light of Leiluo, first of all, congratulations on your remarkable achievements in this winter field training, without you, the church will not know how much it will lose as a result. Hey, how many young people in their prime have just left. β
Amid the king's sigh, Xia Yu said in a deep voice, "Their souls have attained eternal peace in the Bright God Realm. β
Xia Yu made a gesture of prayer, and his eyes were full of piety.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The king showed a little smile on his face, Xia Yu could certainly feel the other party's emotions clearly, for those light crusades and holy light knights of life and death, this king may not care at all.
"I heard that it was because of some legendary powerful creatures that caused such a great loss? Hey! In any case, the Holy Jedon Empire will never tolerate the blatant aggression of these barbaric and evil creatures, as the people of the God of Light, as the king of the Holy Jedon Empire, I must find out the origin of this matter, if it is those evil creatures, the Holy Jedon Empire will never end here!"
I see.
The summer rain suddenly brightened.
Just like the bloodline of the dragon slayer warrior of the earth fanged Billy, many ancient creatures will bring unexpected blessings to humans, and the legend has it that the essence of the tree man has the effect of prolonging life, but it is a pity that it was set on fire by his own group.
The reason why these palace nobles invited themselves was probably to satisfy their luxury through these ancient creatures.
If you understand the cause and effect, the following things will be much easier to do for demagoguery and devils.

PS: Reading the book review message, there are always people who say that the devil is chaotic and neutral, chaotic and orderly, chaotic and evil or something, "Bewitching Demon King" does not use any DNF system concept, and has not studied this aspect, it can be said that it is inspired by the pure Western devil, and the independent world system and balance concept innovated by the eclectic fantasy of the Egret.
Because Egret's writing technique likes to grow smaller, bury the introduction, slowly conceive heat, full of randomized mutant elements, eclectic, the plot ups and downs are relatively large, the setting will be thrown out little by little, and the story contradictions will gradually introduce high tides with elaboration, so it will avoid the established rules that people are familiar with as much as possible.
