Chapter 2: Demon King's Capital
Wren temporarily bought a horse in the small town along the way, and his tallest war horse was given to Duan Xiaofei, it took three days, Duan Xiaofei could basically sit firmly on horseback, at this time, in front of him, was a tall city wall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"This ...... Is it the magic capital?"
The city wall is dark purple, but there is a bit of a demon atmosphere, Ren and Jessica are on horseback on both sides of Duan Xiaofei, and the girl Miaoke who found Duan Xiaofei at the beginning is following behind.
"Your Highness, please puff up your chest, the people of the Demon Race are looking forward to your return. Ren adjusted the armor on his body and said to Duan Xiaofei.
"I ...... Do you really want to be a demon king?"
"You don't have a choice. ā
"Okay......"
Now, Duan Xiaofei has no choice but to go down, who called God not to be long-sighted, let him travel to this strange world.
The Atsugi gates slowly opened, and like castles in Western fantasy works, a wooden bridge descended to span the moat.
Duan Xiaofei gently pinched the horse's belly, and the war horse stepped into the castle.
"Oh-"
"Hoo !!"
Duan Xiaofei walked in the front, and as soon as he walked through the city gate, the crowded demon people on both sides of the street erupted into extremely enthusiastic cries.
Duan Xiaofei looked at the side of the road, this crowd of people, no! This can't be called a "crowd", he found that among the crowd of onlookers, there are even many strange ...... "people"?
Duan Xiaofei remembered in his heart, as far as he came all the way, in addition to human faces, there were also half-orcs with various animal heads, and even, he saw several skeletons in the crowd!
That's right, a few living skeletons!
Oh, my God...... Duan Xiaofei resisted the desire to escape from this place, and his hands clutched the reins tightly.
"Today, please let the people of the demon clan witness the glory of the Obsidian Dynasty!
I don't know what means Wren used, but his voice was heard throughout the street.
"Ahem......" Duan Xiaofei was actually a little embarrassed, seeing that the people here welcomed him so eagerly, he also raised his hand lightly and waved it to both sides.
"Your Highness, you'd better keep it serious. Wren said beside him, "Your Highness, you need a dignified image. ā
"Can't just say hello?" Duan Xiaofei asked.
"No, that's not what the subordinates meant. Wren hurriedly replied, "As long as Your Highness is willing." ā
"Oh well. Duan Xiaofei pursed his lips, but he also pretended to be serious, and walked along the street to the end.
There are no onlookers here, after all, what is in front of him is probably where the palace of the demon clan is located.
It's still a darker color scheme, but when paired with a variety of rare building materials and decorations, the palace looks very gorgeous and extravagant.
"Your Highness, please follow me to your palace first, tonight the palace will invite all the demon nobles to hold a dinner party for you. Wren said.
"It's really grand......"
Duan Xiaofei looked around at the scene of the palace, although in Wren's mouth he learned that the demon clan was not as good as before, but the palace was still a palace after all, the core of a country was still so splendid.
"Alas, Your Highness, please don't be disgusted. Jessica, who was to Duan Xiaofei's left, said, "Thirty years ago, when the Demon Clan was still in its heyday, the royal palace was ten times more luxurious than here. ā
"Ten times more luxurious?!" Duan Xiaofei was a little surprised.
"Your Highness, your dormitory is at the innermost part of the palace, and it is guarded by the most elite soldiers of the Demon Clan to ensure that there are no security risks. ā
Duan Xiaofei dismounted and walked into the bedroom specially set up for him in the palace, at this time, Ren and Jessica also retired, but Miao Ke, who had been following behind, walked up.
"Miao Ke, aren't you going with them?" Duan Xiaofei saw that Miao Ke didn't leave, so he asked.
"I ......" Miao Ke was stunned, then lowered his head slightly, and whispered, "Miao Ke will serve His Highness and ensure His Highness's safety at the same time." ā
"Serve?" Duan Xiaofei's lips trembled, could it be ...... Was it what he imagined?
"This is an order from His Majesty the First King, and His Majesty the First King has asked you to help you adapt to the life of the demons as soon as possible. Miao Ke replied.
"Ahem, okay, then you can follow me. Since he had to accept the setting of the eldest prince of the demon clan, Duan Xiaofei automatically substituted himself into the identity of such a prince.
"Your Highness is tired from the journey, so Miao Ke first instructed the maid to prepare hot water for you to bathe. Miao Ke bowed to Duan Xiaofei, and then walked towards the side of the dormitory.
"I'll go ......" Duan Xiaofei scratched his head, but there was some joy in his heart, since he became a prince, wouldn't it be ......
There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the iron pestle is ground into ...... Ahem...... No, no, it should be full of glory and wealth, drunk and beautiful.
"Hey, hey. Duan Xiaofei couldn't help but smile.
After sitting in the dormitory for a while, Duan Xiaofei also calmed down, he leaned on the sofa in the dormitory room, and he didn't know what material this sofa was, although the workmanship was not as fine as the world he originally lived in, but it was unusually soft, Duan Xiaofei began to think back to what had happened in the past few days......
First of all, one thing is certain, that is, he did indeed travel to another world, and he didn't seem to bring anything with him except for the clothes on his body, all this was by no means a dream, no, according to Wren, he was summoned, not a natural crossing.
The second point is that the lingua franca of this world is not Chinese, but he can communicate with the people here normally, indicating that he has become proficient in a different world language without knowing it.
The third point is that because the black hair and black pupils represent the highest bloodline of the demon king clan, Duan Xiaofei was regarded as the descendant of the demon king, and was invited back to the demon clan's lair, and he also had to ascend the throne to lead the demon clan.
Fourth, now the demons are at war with humans, and the demons are already at an all-round disadvantage, and he is pinned on the hope of reviving the demons by the demons.
In the end, his life seems to be very precious now, when he first came to this world, he heard the words of those villagers, the head of the demon with black hair and black eyes is worth a thousand gold dragons, and if he is captured alive, the bounty is enough for 100,000.
You know, on the way back to the Demon Capital, Wren told him that a civilian here only earns ten golden dragons a year.
"My God......"
Duan Xiaofei looked at the ceiling, he came to this world inexplicably, and inexplicably became His Royal Highness the prince of the demon clan, to be reasonable, he was just an ordinary student, but he suddenly carried such a cauldron of the commander of the demon clan, this is unacceptable to anyone, okay!
Said that the good time-traveler will have extraordinary talents, born in a noble family, and then use the advantages of the time-traveler step by step to reach the peak of life in another world!
Well, in fact, Duan Xiaofei's crossing is completely in line with the routine of the novel, but he has not become a normal palace nobleman, but has become a villain, or the final boss at the demon king level!
"Since I want to become a demon king, there won't be any warriors to kill me, right?" Duan Xiaofei said with some concern.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, that Myok will fight to protect your safety. At this time, Miao Ke happened to walk in, she was still wearing that red robe, and when she heard Duan Xiaofei's words, she hurriedly replied.
"Damn! No one really wants to kill me. Duan Xiaofei asked.
"Your Highness, you are the eldest prince of the demon race, and now the war between the demon race and the human race is very fierce, although there is only one tenth of our territory left, but the elite power of the demon race is also concentrated in this tenth of the territory, and it is not so easy for humans to attack it. ā
"All along, humans have been sending assassins to kill the Demon King, although with the efforts of all the Demon Clan, His Majesty the Demon King will be closely protected......," Miao Ke changed his words and said, "However, the First King was plotted by despicable humans, so he urgently summoned you back." ā
"What did you say?" Duan Xiaofei's heart tightened, "The previous Demon King was assassinated?!"
"Your Highness, you can rest assured that the strength of the Demon Capital's guards has tripled, and even if someone wants to disadvantage you, they will have to step over my corpse first. Miao Ke said solemnly, and in her tone, it all seemed to be normal.
"That...... Let me ask, how did the former Demon King, the former Demon King, and the former Demon King die?"
"After the demons entered the Obsidian Dynasty, there have been a total of seventeen demon kings in history, two of them died on the battlefield, one died of illness, one died of cultivation and fell into demons, and thirteen were assassinated by humans. ā
