Soon, I found out that the man in black actually flew back to the palace with me, what is he doing, is he the person next to the Demon Emperor?

The man in black gradually slowed down and quietly landed near the firewood room, and from the degree of sweat on his body, I knew that he was also about to be exhausted, and I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart.

The man in black threw me into the firewood room, looked around, closed the door, and gasped, "You kid is so heavy, you almost can't come back." Don't think about it, I won't waste your efforts for the time being. There are some things I want to ask you. With that, he took off the mask from his head.

I froze suddenly, and the man in black in front of me was Uncle Chai, who only drank and chopped wood all day long, and I was stunned and said, "Uncle Chai, how could it be you?"

Uncle Chai smiled, resumed his original voice and said: "Why can't it be me, from the first day you came here, I saw that you are not simple, tell me, why do you have a first-level artifact?" Since you want to know, then let me tell you, it's like this, I was originally a magician in the human Aisha Empire, and I have been practicing light magic since I was a child,...... "I told me about my experience in general, of course, including the part where I was recognized by the king of the gods and passed on the holy sword, when I talked about the demon king, Uncle Chai's brows were deeply locked.

“...... That's it, we came to the demon clan together, trying to dissuade the Demon Emperor from continuing to use troops against humans, and combining everyone's strength to resist the soon-to-be-resurrected Demon King, but the Demon Emperor didn't listen to our explanation at all, and insisted on going my own way, beating me to a serious injury and taking my companion away. ”

Uncle Chai nodded and said, "You are ruthless enough, in order to save your companions, you actually disfigured yourself and went undercover in the Demon Emperor Palace." ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think this is what I want? I was invaded by the Demon Emperor's dark magic energy, which corroded my body, and if it weren't for the protection of the Holy Sword, I'm afraid I would have been finished long ago." But the scars on the body never recovered. ”

"I see. You go out every night these days, I follow you secretly, and your relationship with Muzi seems to be unusual. "This old guy, his heart is really careful, I didn't say anything about Muzi just now, I didn't expect him to be following me all the time, it seems that I have to talk to him, I feel that this Uncle Chai doesn't seem to be very hostile to me, I smiled awkwardly and said:" Since you know so much about the demons, you should know about Muzi going undercover in the human country, I am her classmate, and I can also be said to be her lover, I am sincere to Muzi, an important reason for coming to the demons this time is for her, but you have also seen that I have made it like this, how can I match Muzi, I can only look at her silently in secret. "Saying this, it touched my heart, and I couldn't help but feel sad.

Uncle Chai said: "Let's change your clothes first, just now, the people in the entire capital were alarmed, maybe someone will search here."

I was surprised and said, "Aren't you going to hand me over? I'm here to go undercover." ”

Uncle Chai bowed slightly and said, "If I don't hand you over, it doesn't prove that I will let you go." Don't think that what you just said moved me, I temporarily believed in you for the sake of the first-level artifact on your body. ”

I asked, "You and the Demon Emperor have both mentioned first-level artifacts, what does this mean, are artifacts still graded?"

Uncle Chai looked at me with idiotic eyes and said, "Of course it is divided into levels, didn't the king of the gods tell you when he passed on your holy sword?" The artifact is divided into 5 levels, the first level is the most powerful, only the king of the gods can have and distribute, the reason why I believe you, it is for this reason that the king of the gods will never look away, and pass on his sword to an evil person, like the staff of the dragon god Sucrates you said basically belongs to the fourth-level artifact, and the dark demon dragon spear used by the demon emperor is handed down by the ancient demon god and belongs to the second-level artifact. ”

I said in surprise: "So that's the case, then why can't my first-level artifact plus a fourth-level artifact resist a second-level artifact of the Demon Emperor?"

Uncle Chai said while changing his clothes: "That's because your absolute strength is not enough, do you think the artifact is so easy to control? Not to mention the first-level artifact, with your current strength, you can't even exert the full power of any fourth-level artifact, and the current Demon Emperor is the first day in the history of my demon race, and at the age of more than 50, he can master the full power of the Dark Demon Dragon Spear, although this has something to do with the help of his mount, the Dark Demon Dragon." But his intelligence and hard work are also unquestionable, and your current ability is at least two notches worse than his. Although the Demon Emperor has not yet reached the God of War level at the level of martial arts, the difference is not very far. Unless you can go to that canyon to accept the inheritance of the God of Light as the King of the Gods said, otherwise, not to mention the Demon King, even the Demon Emperor is definitely not an opponent. ”

His analysis is very correct, when I was in my heyday, there were two artifacts that couldn't beat the Demon Emperor, it was indeed a gap in strength, I originally thought that I was already a top master in the upper continent, but compared with the Demon Emperor and Uncle Chai, it was still too far behind.

Uncle Chai had already changed his clothes, and suddenly, he coughed violently, his face was pale, my strength had recovered somewhat, and I hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked, "What's wrong with you, Uncle Chai." ”

Uncle Chai glared at me, picked up firewood from the side and chopped it, he said while chopping: "It's not you who hurt me, I'm old, I'm useless, I consume too much energy today, and I have committed the old problem again." ”

I walked over and said, "I'll chop it for you, you can rest for a while." "Now, my little life is in the hands of others, how dare I provoke him casually.

Uncle Chai said: "No, I can do it myself, I forcibly opened the meridians in order to train the fighting spirit to the point of the god of war, although it was successful, but it also hurt the lungs, the lungs belong to wood, in order to exude lung qi, I have only been chopping firewood here for decades." I'm 97 years old this year, and I'm afraid I don't have a few years to live. ”

I changed into my original clothes and said to Uncle Chai: "At first glance, you are not an ordinary person, why do you want to stay here, it should not be just to chop wood." ”
