Walking slowly through the deep corridors of the Demon King City, bathed in the blood-red moonlight shining in through the window, Ringer thought that when he went to work tomorrow, he would ask Nilou to design him a shirt suitable for spreading his wings.
After completing the puzzle, he gained the power that Reddy had left in it, and as a result, he grew pitch-black demon wings that he could retract after spending an hour or two familiarizing himself with and experimenting.
It would be too much trouble to undress or braw your clothes every time you use your wings.
He stopped in front of the room of the current Demon King, Seinsti, and the guardian spirit on the door who looked exactly like Reddy was watching him.
"You're five minutes ahead of usual today."
Ringer flipped his wrist and a glass of wine appeared in his hand.
Seeing the wine glass in his hand, the eyes of the guardian demon spirit lit up slightly.
"This is today's wine, please use it."
The glass flew from Ringer's palm, levitating in front of the Guardian Spirit.
Looking at the demon spirit enjoying the wine, Ringer thought to himself, could this demon spirit that looked exactly like Reddy also contain fragments of his soul?
While thinking about it, the demon spirit had finished drinking the wine in the glass, and with a satisfied expression, he returned the glass to Ringer and opened the door.
"Let's go inside."
Ringer put away his glass, walked into the room, and saw Seinsti lying on the bed in large letters.
Sensing his entry into the room, Seinsti sat up from the bed abruptly, her little face full of anticipation.
"How's the puzzle going, and what's the wine today?"
"The puzzle is complete, do you want to look at the picture first or drink first?"
Seinsti opened her mouth.
"Is it really done so quickly? Hurry up and show me. ”
It seems that I looked at the picture first.
With a wave of Ringer's right hand, Reddy's portrait appeared in front of Seinsti's bed.
"It turned out to be a portrait of my father." Seinsti looked at the portrait, "It's amazing, you actually put it together in three days." ”
At this time, she saw that the father in the portrait suddenly moved, and a majestic voice was heard.
"Sain, that's how you completed the trial I left you?"
Hearing this voice, Sain's small body tensed up reflexively.
"Father, father?"
"Hmph, you asked him to help you complete the puzzle, the power I left in the portrait was originally a reward for you, but now it's all in his body."
Seinsti looked at Ringer and scratched her head.
"Ringer is my subordinate, and he signed a soul contract with me, and my father's power is also used by me, so it should be okay."
In the painting, the old demon king glanced at Ringer faintly, and his daughter's words proved that this kid did not lie last night.
"Well, in that case, I won't take back those powers. Boy, you are cheap, you must make good use of the power I have given you, and assist Sain wholeheartedly. ”
Ringer bowed slightly.
"Father, where the hell have you been?" Sain stared at his father in the portrait, looking a little annoyed.
When her father disappeared suddenly, she didn't even say goodbye, and when she woke up, she ascended to the throne of the demon king under Andiel's arrangement, and she was not mentally prepared at all.
She was a little overwhelmed by the powerful cadres left behind by her father, especially when she was refuted, but fortunately Andiel was there to help her through the first period of time.
Later, although she learned to be tough, she was still very bottomless in her heart, so every time she had a meeting, she would hide herself in the thick darkness.
She had thought more than once that it would be nice if her father was still there, but now her father suddenly appeared in front of her, although it didn't seem to be a complete father, but it also made the resentment and grievances that had accumulated in her heart explode together.
However, the father in the portrait did not give her a satisfactory answer.
"I'm sorry, Sain, I'm just an insignificant fragment of my soul, and I don't have any memory of the Buddha's location."
Seinsti puffed out her cheeks and glared at the man in the portrait for a moment, then suddenly turned her head to Ringer and said, "Tongue demon, where is today's wine?" ”
After drinking the wine offered by Ringer in one gulp, Seinsti let out a long breath and waved his little hand:
"Tongue Demon, take this thing away."
Ringer was stunned: "Won't Lord Sain stay?" "After all, it's a portrait of my father, and it also carries a fragment of my father's soul, so I sent it away?
The old demon king in the painting was also stunned, my daughter is driving me away?
"Sain, I want to see you more."
"You're not my father, you're just a fragment of your soul, like my father's toenails, staying in my room will only affect my mood."
"Sain, you ......" the Demon King in the painting opened his mouth wide.
Seinsti waved her hand again: "Tongue Demon, take this thing away, hang it in your house, give it to others, or throw it wherever you want, you can do it." ”
"Well, this ...... Good. Ringer put away the portrait of the old demon king and left Sain's room.
When he came to the door, he said hello to the demon spirit on the door, and walked in the direction of the library.
The demon spirit stared at his departing back, rejoicing in his heart: "It's good that I wasn't discovered, otherwise Sain might have taken me down...... Poof, toenails, if the soul fragment in that portrait is a toenail, then what am I? Well, it's probably a full nail cover, hehe......"
In the Demon King's library, starlight shone on the bookshelves, and the ground was covered in black mist.
Ringer walked through the gap at the bottom of the bookshelf and took out the portrait of the old demon king from the ring, intending to comfort the old demon king, who was disgusted by his daughter.
Described by his daughter as a cut toenail, the father must not feel very comfortable.
He expected to see a depressed face, but the expression he expected didn't appear on the face of the Great Horned Demon King, and the person in the portrait looked a little happy.
"What's the matter, you look surprised?"
"I think you should be a little more frustrated."
"Haha, why should I do that?"
"Just ...... in Lord Sain's room" Ringer tried to make him remember what had just happened, but he was ruthlessly kicked out by his own daughter and had him disposed of at will.
Reddy smiled: "In my incomplete memory, Sain was an innocent little girl, and now she dares to talk to me like this, which fully proves her growth, which is a good thing, why should I be depressed."
As a qualified demon king, that's how it should be, just like I once kicked my daddy's ass hard, I kicked him out of the demon king's position, and then took the position myself. ”
"Well," said Ringer, "where do you want to stay after that?" Stay in Demon King City, or somewhere else? ”
"Since Sain won't let me stay, take me back to your house, where I can talk to Evie and the old woman."
"Old Woman ......"
"Gorolit, my ancestors' contemporaries, I am afraid that there are few beings in the world who are older than her, not an old woman. By the way, are you here looking for books? ”
Ringer's heart moved, Reddy might be able to help him find a book. "Are you familiar with the distribution of books here?"
"Of course," Reddy said, "I spent a lot of time here as a teenager, what kind of books are you looking for?" ”
