Chapter 45: Once Upon a Time in the Abyss
"Once, while Thieru was chatting with his friends, I heard," Nya's lips trembled, her eyes wandered, and her words were a little frightened and angry, "the Demon King Zagu left his pet in the Loren world, as his own eyes, guarding his palace in the Loren world. β
"What is his pet?" Wang Xu looked at Niya sideways and asked her in a low voice, for Wang Xu, no matter what that pet was, as long as it was related to the Demon King Zagu, it would make him a little uneasy.
Wang Xu also reflected on why he was afraid of the demon king Zagu, he felt that the reason might be that he instinctively feared those legendary powerhouses, perhaps, when he looked at Zagu face to face, he would not be as uneasy as now, but, because of the unknown, so afraid.
"I don't know what his pet is, but Tijeru also has a look of fear on his face when he mentions Zagu's pet. Niya shook her head silently, and then raised her eyes to look at Wang Xu.
From her flickering eyes, Wang Xu interpreted some different information, from the first mention of the Demon King Zagu, Niya seemed a little cramped and uneasy, even, a little annoyed, at first, she didn't feel anything wrong, at this time, her uneasiness and anger were even more serious.
According to the information recorded in the ancient books of the elves, the hierarchy between the demons is very strict, the status is completely based on strength, the weak must completely obey the slavery of the strong, and there is almost no rebellion, unless, the strength of the weak has increased to the point where it can challenge the strong, otherwise, the strong and weak will always live according to the law of the forest.
However, Niya's attitude is obviously not very respectful of the demon king Zagu, and her strength is so much stronger than herself, she is not Zagu's opponent at all, so what's going on with her?
"You don't seem to think very much of the Demon King Zagu?" Wang Xu whispered tentatively, although as the master, he could ask his slave Niya directly, but he was not the kind of person who liked to probe into other people's privacy, and the reason why he asked her this question was also to grasp more information about the demon clan, not to care about her privacy.
"You can see it," Niya took a long breath, her wonderful eyes that looked at Wang Xu were instantly filled with tears, and just when Wang Xu was a little embarrassed and ready to apologize, Niya said softly: "Two hundred years ago, when I was just a first-order succubus, my family was still a somewhat influential force in the first layer of the abyss. β
Niya raised her right arm, wiped the shimmering tears on her face with the sleeve of her black robe, and then continued: "Later, I lived a happy life for more than fifty years, and I also grew into a fourth-order succubus, and in that year, suddenly, the demon king Zagu's subordinates began to sweep the entire first layer of the abyss, and my family was also wiped out in the process of resisting the forces of Zagu's subordinates, and only my sister and I were left in the family, do you know why only the two of us survived?"
"Well, why?" Although the story that Niya told was quite miserable when she told her life story, if she didn't clearly know that what Niya said was true, Wang Xu would feel that the story she told was not credible, because Wang Xu didn't think that Zagu, who was the fourth layer of the abyss, would have nothing to do to go to the first layer of the abyss to claim the king, unless he wanted to do something earth-shattering.
"Because my sister and I are beautiful, and Zaku's men have taken us both as maids, so we can both survive. Nia replied miserably, with a crying voice in her words, and the tears that she had managed to hold in her eyes flowed again.
Just as Niya lowered her head and wept silently, suddenly, Wang Xu's right hand held her forehead.
Just when Niya was frightened by Wang Xu's movements, she looked up at Wang Xu violently, and tried to break free of the cold right hand holding her forehead, Wang Xu raised her left hand, holding a Shu brocade scarf embroidered with peach blossom patterns on a white background, and gently wiped away the tears in Niya's eyes and the tears on her face.
"Don't worry," Wang Xu stuffed the face towel on his left hand into Niya's trembling little hand, and let go of Niya's forehead with his right hand, "It's very easy to follow me, you don't have to do what a maid does, but don't expect me to avenge you, because, you can probably see my strength, I'm weak." β
Actually, Wang Xu originally wanted to ask Niya why the power of the demon king Zagu invaded the first layer of the abyss, but after thinking about it again, he felt that it was better to forget it, as long as Zagu was mentioned, it was a kind of harm to her, and her psychological age was about the level of a little girl, as a living fossil who had lived for too long, there was no need to hurt a little girl.
"You ......" Niya shook the Shu brocade scarf in her hand vigorously, looked at Wang Xu with a resolute face, and after nodding heavily, asked Wang Xu in a serious tone: "If I dedicate myself to you, can you go and rescue my sister?"
"No, you can't. Wang Xu directly rejected Niya's request, he pursed his lips, squinted at Niya, and replied in a relaxed tone: "You have long been my person, we have already signed a slave contract, have you forgotten, there is no question of whether you and I are dedicated or not, and if you want to save your sister, you go by yourself, and it is also your own business to take revenge, as long as you hone your ability well, one day, you can slash the enemy." β
"I knew you would say that," Nia shook her head slightly, smiled and sighed, then slowly lowered her head and whispered: "From your attitude towards the human girl named Livka just now, I know that your willpower is very terrifying, you are completely untempted by her, and you don't even love to take a girl as beautiful as her, let alone a demon like me who doesn't even have half of her beauty?"
"Okay," Wang Xu smiled indifferently, he knew very well that Niya was using the means of pretending to be pitiful, trying to get himself to avenge her, but he didn't accept this set, "It's still the same sentence, revenge, when your strength surpasses Zagu, you can do it yourself." β
"Hmm. Niya knew that her beauty plan had not been effective at all, and she also understood that Wang Xu's methods on the other side were indeed higher than herself, so she didn't say anything anymore, just looked at Wang Xu silently.
"That," Wang Xu took out a set of lady's Mithril rune armor from his backpack system, handed it to Niya, and said to her: "This set of armor is for you, the fierce battle is about to begin, although I know that your movement speed is extremely fast and your attack power is also good, however, your defense is not as good as your movement speed and attack power, this set of rune armor can make up for your shortcomings." β
Just after Niya took the rune armor handed over by Wang Xu, Wang Xu added in a low voice: "If you drip a drop of blood on the magic circle on the armor, you won't feel the weight of this armor." β
After listening to Wang Xu's words and knowing the subtleties of this set of rune armor, Niya winked at Wang Xu gratefully, and then cut the index finger of his left hand with a palm-sized blood-colored knife engraved with black runes, and after dropping a drop of purple-black demon blood on the waist of the rune armor, he stood up and put on this set of Mithril rune armor that came out of the same place as Sangu's armor one by oneγ
Moving her arms and legs, and jumping twice, Niya felt that she really couldn't feel the weight of this armor, and even that this armor didn't affect her movement.
Just when Niya happily took out the big knife bigger than the door panel from her space ring, and was about to wave it to try the feel, there was a soft sound of "ding", Niya let go of her right hand weakly, and the big knife immediately fell on the volcanic ash on the ground, and at the same time, Niya also covered her chest with her left hand and gasped heavily.
"How long will it take for your injuries to heal?" Looking at Niya's appearance, Wang Xu knew that she was very fragile at the moment, because she had cut off the eight energy chains connecting the source and meridians in her body earlier, so now she only had less than two percent of her original strength.
"Without ten years, there is no recovery at all. Niya sighed, picked up her big knife from the ground with great difficulty, put it into her spatial ring, and then sat back on the drum bench in front of Wang Xu.
"This is for you, eat it!" Wang Xu took out a black bula gold sore medicine from the backpack system and handed it to Niya.
"This is," after Niya took the gold sore medicine that Wang Xu handed to her, she looked at the small pill in the palm of her right hand that was blacker than black charcoal, and tilted her head to look at Wang Xu, she was very suspicious that Wang Xu was cheating herself and letting herself eat some messy and strange things, "Can you eat it?"
"I'll go, you can ask again and try it!" Wang Xu stared at Niya with round eyes and looked at Niya viciously, gritted his teeth and roared: "Do you know how much this pill costs, 100,000 gold coins! It's not worth the price to sell you, if you don't meet me, you can eat such a good thing, forget it, give it back to me!"
After speaking, Wang Xu reached out and was about to get back the gold sore medicine.
"Hee-hee. With a smile, Niya suddenly grasped her right palm, dodged Wang Xu's claws, and then, with a big mouthful, swallowed the golden sore medicine into her stomach.
As soon as she swallowed the golden sore medicine into her stomach, Nya's expression changed, she was originally a hippie smile, her brows instantly wrinkled, and her body kept trembling, and in an instant, bursts of hellfire rose around her body, and her hair turned from silver white to blood red, and even, the hair that was originally draped behind her gradually stood up.
Looking at Niya, who was about to erupt, Wang Xu quickly got up and pulled out the drum stool under her that had not been burned by the hellfire, and then lifted his rosewood Taishi chair and quickly retreated three or four meters away.
Just when Niya's head began to burn and was about to turn into a fire-headed girl again, Wang Xu hurriedly stopped: "Can you not burn your head into a skull, I look disgusting!"
Wang Xu's words seemed to have an effect, and he saw that the hellfire on Niya's head, which had already burned her face, was extinguished in an instant, and then the burned skin on her face gradually grew again, and the long blood-red hair that stood up on it hung down again, and slowly turned silver-white again.
"How is it, how much strength has been restored?" Looking at Niya who had returned to her original state in front of her, Wang Xu carried two stools, walked to Niya, put the drum stool behind her, and sat on the rosewood Taishi chair again.
"What kind of pill is this?" Niya, who had been squinting, suddenly widened her eyes and looked directly at Wang Xu, who was as tall as herself even if she was sitting on a chair.
"What's wrong with my unique alchemy product, the effect is not good?" Wang Xu stretched and asked Niya.
"It's not bad, it's too good. With a flattered expression, Niya slowly sat down on the drum bench behind her that had been roasted off a layer of skin by the high temperature, looked at Wang Xu with tears in her eyes, and said softly: "I feel that my strength seems to be ......."
