Chapter 728: Over the Moon (1)
CΓ΄te d'Ivoire began to recall the time it had met Auguston, a long, long time ago......
At that time, CΓ΄te d'Ivoire was still Nidhogg, a giant ancient black dragon. One day, Nidhogg looked up at the stars and the big, round moon from the highest peak of Sonny Valley, the only place in Hull's underworld where he could see the sky. There has long been no rival in the Hellish Realm, and Nidhogg alone can occupy the entire Sunny Valley, and other monsters dare not approach at all.
Nidhogg has a great appetite and has to leave Sunny Valley every day to forage, but fortunately, the monsters around him are breeding quite quickly, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a food crisis in this neighborhood. As an ancient black dragon, Nidhogg also has the boundless feeling of the sky, and the sun, moonlight, and starlight are the most beautiful expressions in the sky.
"Anji, the night sky here is beautiful. Although I kidnapped you to the Hel Underworld, this place is more beautiful than your hometown, so don't be sad anymore, or I'll be heartbroken. β
Nidhogg had a small transparent box around his neck that contained a very cute girl. She is Angie, originally a princess, who was kidnapped by Nidhogg and taken to the Hellish Underworld, where she has nothing else to do but cry all day. As a princess, I could have had a beautiful life, but I never thought ......
Angie wiped away her tears: "I want to go home, great Lord Nidhogg, please spare me." β
"I didn't hit you, I didn't scold you, I didn't touch you, you said what was the harm of following me. Tell me what you want to do, and I'll take care of everything you need except to go home. Nidhogg ignored Angie's request to go home, because he had kidnapped enough princesses over the years. They all want to go home. But none of the princesses got their wish. So Nidhogg has long been used to it.
In fact, the world is full of cute little girls who can be kidnapped by themselves, but Nidhogg just likes princesses, and he doesn't know why, as if dragons are born to be loyal to princesses.
"What more could I ask for than to go home?" Angie sighed helplessly, the vices of Nidhogg were no strangers to her world, and Nidhogg would come to her hometown every once in a while to kidnap one of the loveliest princesses among them. Keeping her by his side as a plaything until she is no longer cute, Nidhogg will return her to his own world.
Of course, there is no lucky person like this, and although Nidhogg will try his best to protect the princess, a weak girl living in such a world can easily be used as dinner for other monsters, so Angie knows very well that she may not make it back alive. Even if she returns to her own world alive, I am afraid that she will have become an old woman by then, and her life will be over.
There are no handsome princes. There is no strong duke, no intoxicating wine. Even without beautiful clothes and mirrors, how can you survive in such a world? Eating something very strange every day doesn't know if it affects your body. Originally, Anji planned to starve to death here, but unfortunately, human instinct is not able to refuse the temptation of food, and several times she wanted to go on a hunger strike but gave up because she was too hungry......
In the end, Nidhogg put himself in a box and hung it around his neck, like a fine ornament, and did not see himself as a human at all. I really want to die, but this uncompetitive body is unwilling to give up such a humble life. If you can be ruthless, you may be able to get liberation.
It has been several months since she had been exiled to the Hellish Realm, and Angie had already accepted this fate, but at every chance Angie wished she could leave Nidhogg and return to her parents, and if this request could not be met, she wished that she could die.
"Anji, you don't have to be sad, there is one thing I must tell you, in fact, I took you away with the consent of your parents. I've always been like this, and I won't take someone else's daughter for nothing. Your father took the initiative to pray to me, he wanted the kingdom to be rich, but the gods did not favor him, and the kingdom was either flooded or destroyed, and the people did not have food to eat and clothes to warm up. If he could get a large sum of money to make the people's lives better, then he would rather give everything in exchange.
At first your father asked me to give me a hundred beautiful young girls, but you know me, and I don't eat people, so what's the use of me asking for so many beautiful girls? Your father did not refuse, but talked to me about the conditions, and in the end the conditions were met, and I gave him a miraculous ability to turn stones into gold.
I gave him a glove made from the mane of the same dragon we ate last time, which could resist this magic. After wearing this glove, your father is a normal person, but if you take off the glove, his right hand will turn into gold no matter what it touches, but this is only temporary, after a hundred years the gold will become the original thing, but for your father this is enough, exchange your 20 years of youth for hundreds of years of prosperity in the kingdom, so he gladly accepted my conditions.
And after giving the gloves and the curse to your father, he immediately rushes into the castle and takes you away. It's a deal, not a kidnapping. I've told the princesses of the past about what happened to them, usually a few months after they came to the Hellish Realm, and if they couldn't survive the months, I would let them die without knowing the truth, so that they would have a better time. But you're different, you're very strong and you've been looking pretty good until now, so I'm telling you about it, I just hope you can accept this fate. β
Anji smiled coldly: "You mean that my father sold me to you for gold?"
"Yes, it's a pity, but you belong to me. Nidhogg lay on the ground and curled up in a ball, wrapping his body and tail around Angie's small box, the huge dragon head was in front of the small box, admiring Angie's beautiful body with a very peaceful look. At this time, Niederhogg was naked, because after coming to Hull's underworld, Nidhogg had already torn all of Anji's clothes, because Nidhogg thought that this was the most beautiful look of a girl.
"Angie, I'm lonely to stay alone in the Hel Underworld, I want someone to chat with me, although I can only appreciate it, but I really like beautiful and clean human princesses, so every once in a while I will go to your world and bring back a princess to live with me, otherwise I don't even have a chat partner. β
Anji smiled coldly: "Why did you choose me? It doesn't matter, I never thought that it was my father who sold me to you, I always thought that you kidnapped me...... May I ask a question, what will happen to my kingdom if I die?"
"It won't be good, I won't hurt your kingdom. Although I am a big demon king in your world, but in fact, my dragon is very gentle, you should have felt it in the past few months, I am not the kind of demon king who is very bad and violent, I like to be quiet. The only time I kill is when I'm hungry and I need to eat. It's the same with you humans, you kill animals and eat their flesh, and that's all I do. β
Angie agrees with Nidhogg's statement, and has indeed been by Nidhogg's side for a while, Nidhogg has not gone everywhere to destroy, and his tone of voice is also very gentle. It's just that I have to go out hunting every day, catch some prey and go back to Sunny Valley to roast and eat.
Actually, Nidhogg is also a very poor fellow, he just wants someone to talk to him. Whoever he took captive would be treated the same. only blamed himself for his bad luck, and also blamed his father for being obsessed with money and selling his daughter for a curse......
"Nidhogg, if I were by your side, would my country really be rich?"
Nidhogg shook his head, "Who knows, if your father dies of illness, or if he doesn't use his curse at all, your country will be poor." This is your father's choice, if he asks me to make your land rich, then even if he dies, your country will continue to be rich, but he didn't ask for that, he just asked for gold to be able to turn it in. Your father was a selfish man who said he wanted to make the country rich, but he just wanted to live a prosperous life. β
"It's clearly my life, why should anyone else sell me? not even my father. Angie suddenly got a little excited, and stared at Nidhogg.
Nidhogg pouted helplessly: "If you're not happy, think I've kidnapped you, so you might be in a better mood." I think you're pretty bored, tell me what you want, whatever it is, I can get it for you. β
"Give me a handsome and beautiful prince. β
"I'm sorry, it's not possible. β
Anji nodded: "As expected, then you can give me the moon in the sky." β
Nidhogg looked up at the sky, and thought for a moment, "Give it to you, now that the moon is yours, go get it." β
Angie looked at the moon and didn't say a word, and Nidhogg felt like Angie was saying, 'It's still some kind of big demon king, and he can't even get the moon down, what kind of skill is this? β
"Well, there's no way I'm going to get him off the moon, but...... I can take you to the moon to have a look. Would you like to?"
"Is it really possible?" Angie was originally in a depressed mood, but when she heard that Nidhogg was going to take her to the moon to have a look, her mood instantly improved. The moon is a mysterious and familiar thing that human beings have always pursued, and it appears in the night sky every day, but no one can peek into its true face, if you can really go to the moon to play, it is a very good thing.
