Chapter 5: The March Covenant
"Hehe, Second Prince, it's just a broken cup, is it worth killing your head?" Duan Xiaofei glanced at the second prince and said, in his opinion, it would be too cruel to break a cup and kill your head. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Then Your Royal Highness, the eldest prince, how do you think it should be punished?" the second prince said, "If you don't punish your subordinates, I'm afraid you will become more and more bold in the future." β
"How much does a crystal cup cost?" Duan Xiaofei asked the nearest person to him.
"Back to Your Highness, a ten-golden dragon. The servant replied truthfully.
"How much can you earn for a year?"
"Back to Your Highness, if you save a little, you can save the hardware dragon. β
"Then he will be punished for five years. Duan Xiaofei looked at the second prince again and said, "I don't know what the second prince has to say about my punishment?"
"Hahaha, His Royal Highness punished him well, which not only saved his old life, but also made him have a long memory. The second prince's expression became obviously gloomy, and he said, "Your Royal Highness, you are the protagonist of tonight, and the people of the major nobles of the demon clan are about to arrive, but there are many people who want to celebrate your return." β
Of course, Duan Xiaofei could hear that there were still words in the words of the second prince.
It didn't take long to stay, people had already begun to gather outside the Blood Alliance Palace, Duan Xiaofei walked to the door, just from the clothes, the identities of these people outside were not ordinary, they were all dressed in beautiful clothes, and their speech and demeanor were also quite aristocratic, but Duan Xiaofei, who was the highest in the audience, was a little weak-hearted, although he was a prince, but in fact, he was just an earthling who had just come to this world for a few days, this kind of high-end scene, he had never seen it before.
However, what made Duan Xiaofei happy was that these nobles in front of him were all human faces, and he could also guess that half-orcs and that kind of skeleton should be very low-level existences in the demon race.
"Hahahaha, congratulations!" At this moment, a fat man came out of the crowd, this fat man's body size was four Duan Xiaofei's size, he walked to the front of the Blood Alliance Hall with a big grin, and said to Duan Xiaofei, "Congratulations on the return of the eldest brother! β
That's right, this fat man is also a black hair!
"He is the youngest son of the first king, the fourth prince. Miao Ke reminded in a timely manner, "The fourth prince has always been the most favored one among the heirs of the previous king, he never asks about politics, and he is all about food, so only the fourth prince is the prince who doesn't want to be the demon king." β
"Understood. Duan Xiaofei nodded, and also stepped forward to salute, the action of the demon nobles to salute is also Miao Ke taught him, although he is unfamiliar, but he also has that look, besides, he is the eldest prince, even if the salute is not standard, no one will say it.
"Since everyone is here, please come in. Before Duan Xiaofei could speak, the second prince walked directly to the door and said to everyone under the steps.
However, this behavior really made Duan Xiaofei frown, this was a banquet to welcome him, but the second prince behaved like a host, it seems that the second prince really wanted to get along with him...... This banquet is obviously the protagonist of him.
This is the highest level banquet of the demon race, of course, the scene is very grand, fortunately, Miao Ke explained beside him, otherwise Duan Xiaofei, a "modern person" from the earth, really can't stand here.
"Big brother, the first time I saw you, let's have a drink!" The fat fourth prince squeezed through the crowd of banquets, holding a tall crystal cup with dark red wine shaking in it.
"Hmm. Duan Xiaofei also raised his glass and said.
"Big brother, why don't you tell me what the other world is like? The fourth prince leaned over and said expectantly.
"Yes, Your Highness, you have just returned from another world, tell us about the other world. The nobleman on the side saw that the fourth prince had raised his head, and he also said.
"Your Highness, is the other world as the bard said, thousands of miles of barrenness, and yellow sand in the sky?"
"No, no, no, I've seen His Highness just returned to the Demon Capital, and the clothes His Highness was wearing at that time were very high-tech, I'm afraid even the skilled craftsmen of our Demon Royal Family can't make them. β
"In this way, then we are more curious. β
Duan Xiaofei is a little big, if he tells them that the civilization of the earth is far more than 10,000 times here, these people will probably think that they are talking nonsense, even if they can't say it directly because of their identity, then they may think that he is a liar in their hearts.
"Well, these things don't need to be talked about at the banquet. β
At this time, a voice came from the back of the crowd, although the crowd was a little noisy, but it could still be heard, this was the second prince.
In an instant, the nobles in the Blood Alliance Hall all quieted down, and everyone's eyes looking at Duan Xiaofei seemed to change slightly.
It seems that the two princes' thoughts about being the demon king are already well known......
But now, Duan Xiaofei has no choice but to catch up.
Duan Xiaofei's impression of the second prince was not very good, he just greeted coldly: "Second prince, hello." β
"Your Royal Highness the Great Prince, although you are the successor of your father, according to the tradition of our demon clan, the position of the demon king can be obtained by the capable. β
The second prince's voice was not small, but the nobles present heard it, and I am afraid that everyone can understand the meaning of these words.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the scene dropped to the freezing point, and the people who were joking in the last second immediately closed their mouths, although they are all nobles with status, but who is the demon king, they can't be the master.
"Hehe, but eldest brother, you are also extraordinary, it seems that the magic level of the other world will not be lower than that of our demons, presumably you are bound to win this throne. The second prince continued.
Another world, magic level?
Duan Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, this rich continent is a world of magicians and warriors! And whether it is in humans or in the demon race, magicians are the most noble profession! As a demon king, the second prince must be a magician with extremely strong strength!
As for "the magic level of the other world is not lower than that of the demons", after hearing this sentence, Duan Xiaofei didn't know how to refute it at all, the other world that the second prince said was of course the earth where Duan Xiaofei used to live, where did the earth come from!
"I don't know what the second prince means?" Duan Xiaofei didn't beat around the bush, but asked directly.
"The first king died, and according to the rules of our demon clan, there is no internal fighting for three months. The second prince walked up to Duan Xiaofei, put down the wine glass in his hand, looked directly into Duan Xiaofei's eyes, and said, "However, after three months, it will be decided who will inherit the throne of the Demon King." β
"Although you are now the person appointed by your father, in three months' time, I will challenge you. β
Whewββ
The nobles in the back immediately discussed, although everyone also had a certain understanding of the battle for the position of the demon king, but the second prince was so straightforward in the war book, it was really exciting news.
