Chapter 1: The Fallen Lord
I don't know how long it took, Ander screamed and woke up from the nightmare, he sat on the bed, his eyes wide open in horror, gasping for air, his heart pounding in his chest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info In the last moments before losing consciousness, Ender only remembered a large truck that had lost control and was speeding towards him...... Ander quickly touched his chest twice, and after making sure that his body was still fine, and there were no missing arms or legs, Ander breathed a long sigh of relief and collapsed on the soft and comfortable bed again.
I remember being in a car accident, and great, I'm still alive. Hmmm...... What kind of place is this? It doesn't seem to be a hospital.
Ander sat up on the bed again, taking a curious look at his surroundings. It was obvious that he was not in the hospital, although Ander had hardly ever been to the hospital, but he also knew that there would never be such a comfortable bed in the hospital, and the delicate crystal chandelier on the ceiling and the antique solid wood furniture in the room were telling Ander that this should be a bedroom.
Bedroom?Whose bedroom?
"Dangdang. β
Just as Ander was wondering, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Startled by the sudden knock on the door, Ander stared at the dark door before saying, "Please come in." β
With a creak, the door slowly opened, and outside the door stood a young girl, a very beautiful ...... Maid?
It's a maid, right? A long black dress, a white apron, and a white headband on her head, isn't this the standard dress of a maid? In other words, how rich the family is, they can afford to hire a maid. Ander thought to himself.
"That...... Hello, where is this place?Who are you?I remember I was hit by a car, did you save me?" Ander asked, and Ander couldn't help but smile with gratitude at the thought that the other party might be his savior.
In the face of Ender's question, the girl's beautiful but cold face like an iceberg showed a trace of doubt, as if she didn't understand Ender's words. She walked slowly into the room, and then, under Ender's questioning gaze, she actually knelt down on one knee in front of Ender's bed!
"This is your residence, and I am your servant, Lord of the Demons. The girl replied in a cold voice, meticulously.
Ander was immediately stupid.
"Hey, the Demon King...... My lord!?"
Ander looked at the girl in front of the bed with a shocked face, at this moment, Ander's heart seemed to have 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by......
A month later.
Early in the morning, Ander, dressed in a black robe, stood in front of the bedroom window and looked out at a large forest in the distance.
"Time flies, it's been a month since I came here. Ander said to himself.
Ander is a time-traveler, he crossed into the body of a demon, in the original world Ander was just an ordinary person, but now, he has become a prince of the demon race.
Gilgalot, this is Ender's name in this world, which means "fire-bearer" in demonic language. Before Ender crossed over, Gilgalot was a very powerful archdemon, he was one of the ten major lords of the demon race, and he had reached the strongest holy rank level in both martial arts and magic. He has countless servants under his command, and he is in charge of an army of 100,000 demons, guarding the lava fortress leading to the continent of the gods from the demon realm.
Ten years ago, the lord of the demon world, the great demon king Azesk, died, and Gilgarot and another demon lord, Jask, fought to the death on the flat-topped mountain of the Continent of the Gods in order to compete for the position of the demon lord. As a result, Gilgalot lost, he was seriously injured and fled all the way from the mesa to the Sunset Mountains. In the end, he could no longer walk, and he could not return to the Demon Realm, so he fell into an eternal sleep in this castle abandoned by unknown people on the Sunset Mountains.
When Ender woke up from his bed in this bedroom a month ago, Gilgalot had been asleep for ten years. Ender estimates that the real Gilgallot may have died.
"Dangdangβ"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Ander didn't have to think about it to know that it was Murphy who came.
Murphy is Gilgarlot's personal maid, she is loyal to Gilgarlot, and Murphy has been by Gilgarlot's side for ten years of Gilgarlot's sleep. Now, there are only two people in this huge castle, Ander and Murphy.
"Come in, Murphy. Ander turned and looked at the door.
Murphy opened the door and walked in, still in the maid costume he had when they first met, still with the same cold appearance.
"Lord Demon King, breakfast is ready. β
"Oh, let's eat, then. Ander smiled happily, he was already hungry.
After eating, Murphy finished cleaning up the dishes, came to Ender, and asked with a serious face: "My lord, I taught you the combination of elements a few days ago, have you learned it?"
Murphy is not just a maid, she is also an archmagister, and currently, Murphy is teaching Ander magic.
Although Gilgalot used to be a powerful figure who dominated one side, but after Ander crossed over, he found that he didn't know any magic or martial arts, and was completely an ordinary person, so he had to start from scratch and learn it again.
When Ender first woke up, he didn't know anything about Gilgalot and this new world. The master who has been serving not only has no magic power, but also doesn't even know himself, Murphy is naturally very strange, and then Ander has an idea and uses the two reasons of "amnesia" and "serious injury" to fool the past. After all, Gilgalot has been asleep for ten years, and it is a miracle that he can survive, and it is not impossible to lose his memory and magic because of a serious injury, so Murphy believes it.
Seeing Murphy come to inquire about his learning progress, Ander smiled confidently: "It's a piece of cake, and I already know what kind of magic this is, it's coagulation, right?" β
This is a special way of learning between Murphy and Ender, Murphy only teaches Ender the elemental combination of magic, and then Ender has to deduce what kind of magic it is based on the elemental combination and learn this magic.
Murphy said that when she was a child, Gilgalot taught her magic in this way, but she didn't expect feng shui to take turns, and now it is Murphy's turn to teach Ander this method.
After Ender finished speaking, a bee suddenly ran in from nowhere and flew "buzzing" in front of Ender. Ender smiled wickedly and raised his hand to the bee, but before he could chant a spell, the bee was enveloped in the white glow of the coagulation. Then, as if he had been paralyzed, the poor bee flipped its wings and fell straight out of the air, crashing.
Maybe because Gilgalot once reached the Holy Rank realm, Ender learned everything very quickly, in just one month, Ender's magic level has improved by leaps and bounds, a month ago he was a layman who didn't know anything, but now, Ender has mastered seven or eight low-level magic. According to the level standard of this world's magicians, Ender is now a seventh-level magician.
And Ender's talent is not limited to magic, Gilgarrot used to be an all-rounder in magic and martial arts, and both martial arts and magic entered the holy rank. Ender is also a magic all-rounder, and if you have to compare, Ender's talent in martial arts is even higher than that in magic. Learning magic and Murphy, the teacher, learning martial arts is completely Ander's own blind practice, but I didn't expect that after coming and going, Ander really learned to fight without a teacher. Now, Ender is already an eighth-level warrior, one level higher than his magic level.
However, although Ender's talent in martial arts is more prominent, Ender prefers magic, for the simple reason that Ender thinks that magicians are cooler, and killing people with magic is much more elegant than slashing people with knives and guns.
Regarding Ender's almost perverted speed of progress, Murphy is very calm. In her opinion, Gilgalot used to be so powerful, but now she has lost all her magic power because of serious injuries, so as long as time passes, the Demon King will definitely return to the peak of the past.
Seeing Ander's easy coagulation technique, Murphy nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "My lord, do you want to continue learning magic today?"
Ender thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... No, I want to move my fists and feet for a long time today, although the magic is intoxicating, but the martial arts can't be slack. So, you don't have to stay with me today. With that, Ander got up from his chair and stretched his waist. "I'm going to the yard, if you're okay...... Just rest, I see you're always cleaning the castle and giving yourself a day off once in a while. β
Seeing that Ander was leaving, Murphy hurriedly said, "My lord, please wait, I have a very important matter to report to you today." β
Ender raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "What's the matter?"
Murphy had a serious expression on his face and said slowly, "That's the case, we're running out of food. β
"Hey?!" Ander was taken aback, "It's really a very important thing, what should I do? Do you want to go down the mountain to buy food?"
"I'm very sorry, my lord, I'm afraid we can't do it, we don't have the money. Murphy said.
"......" Ander looked at Murphy speechlessly, with a "what the hell are you kidding me" expression. Hey, hey, hey, I'm a dignified Demon King, and I don't even have any money to eat? I'm too poor and sour, right?
"But don't worry, my lord, I have already planned for a long time, and if the rest of the food is eaten by one person, it will probably last for half a month. Please give me three days, and I will definitely bring back a year's worth of food for the adults. β
Although Murphy swore as if the food for the three months was waiting for her to be taken at the bottom of the mountain, Ander was not at ease after hearing it. It's not that Ander doubts Murphy's ability, he believes that Murphy will definitely be able to get food, it's just that Ander doubts Murphy's method of getting food. After all, Murphy is different from Ander, she is a real demon both physically and mentally.
"How do you get food?" Ander asked uneasily.
"It's very simple, just wipe out a few human villages, and you'll have food. Murphy replied coldly, expressionless. That tone of indifference was as insignificant as destroying a few human villages and pinching a few bugs to death. In the eyes of most demons, there may really be no difference between humans and bugs.
Ender: "......"
Sure enough, a typical way of thinking of demons, although Murphy looks pure and cute on the outside, he is really a demon on the inside.
"I knew you would say that. Ander sighed helplessly and grabbed his hair. "Forget it, you better stay at home, I'll go down the mountain to get food. It just so happens that I want to go out and walk around, and I nest in the castle every day, and I'm about to grow hair. β
"How can this work? How can you let the Demon King do such a menial job?" Murphy took a step forward, and a pair of good-looking willow eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Alright, that's it. Ander stretched out his hand to Murphy and said in an unquestioning tone. "I don't worry about letting you go down the mountain by yourself, we're not in the Demon Realm now, Murphy, we're on human territory, if we do too much, it's hard to guarantee that we won't attract the attention of the human powerhouses." I haven't fully recovered my strength yet, although you are a great magus, but there are also Saint-rank powerhouses in the human race, if the human Saint-level powerhouses come to the door, what should we do? So, until my strength is fully restored, everything has to be low-key, you know?"
"Yes, what the adults said is very right, or the adults are thoughtful, but I am short-sighted. It's just that if you want to go down the mountain, please let me accompany you for protection. Murphy said.
"No, I'll disguise myself as a human, and with your words, it's inconvenient to move. β
"Adult ......"
"Needless to say, this is an order. Ander's expression was grim and he said sternly.
"That'...... All right. Seeing Ender's serious expression, Murphy knew that this matter must not be discussed. After the Demon King woke up, although his personality changed greatly, he was still exactly the same as before. "In that case, I'll draw a map of the descent for the adults. β
"No, I don't. Ander waved his hand indifferently and smiled confidently. "I knew that if I left the castle and head east, I would be able to walk out of the Sunset Mountains, and with my super sense of direction, I wouldn't need a map at all. Without further ado, I'll be down now. Murphy, you need to take good care of your home. β
