Chapter 115: Greeting or Hindering
I went directly to report my name, and the people who stood in the way immediately got down on one knee and saluted, saying that they were waiting here at the order of the Sect Master to take me home. I nodded and replied, "Youlao leads the way", and the convoy followed them into the woods ahead, the Demon Cult headquarters was surrounded by a maze, and if you wanted to get in, you had to go through the maze.
Only their internal leaders, and members of higher positions, know the formula.
The person who came to pick me up was none other than the illiterate Emperor Fu, the master of the Earth Altar, and the people in their Demon Sect have always been humble in their names, and they will never boast.
The Emperor Altar Master led us through the maze, and after walking out of the woods, the first thing that caught our eyes was the blood-red trees.
They have nothing to do with beauty, and I have decided that the first thing I will do when I start working is to cut down trees.
Behind the mangrove forest, a tall spire emerges, and the architectural style is different from the rest of the building, a bit like modern European architecture.
The motorcade was in the middle of the mangrove forest, and another group of people appeared in front of it.
They were more elaborately dressed, and they looked "expensive" than the clothes worn by the illiterate emperors.
When the illiterate emperor saw them, he immediately stepped forward to salute, his attitude was respectful, and his head was deeply bowed, and the other party's status was obviously much higher than his.
I lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage and walked up to greet the group.
When you first arrive, you can't be too arrogant, although I will offend many people in the future, but when you first come, you have to be more restrained.
The Demon Sect in this world is not the same as the Demon Sect in martial arts.
The "demons" they have guarded for generations are not the target of their worship, strictly speaking, they should be "imprisoned demons".
Legend has it that in the territory of the Demon Cult, there is a secret place where the ancient demons are imprisoned, and the Demon Cult was established to guard the imprisoned demon and prevent it from escaping.
Originally, this was a good thing, but the demon coach's magic skills belonged to the category of evil skills on the rivers and lakes, so some people suspected that they were nominally imprisoning demons, but in fact they had obtained power from demons.
In the name of the demon, he is using the power of evil for his own use.
There are more and more rumors that people in the Demon Sect are not good cakes, and they don't have regular contact with the outside world, and over time, the Jianghu people will take them by default.
Therefore, there are always people who covet the power of demons who want to break into the demon cult and want to get a piece of the pie.
Most of the people were blocked by the maze, and the few who were able to break through the formation and enter, after "fighting" with the masters in the Demon Sect, were also "persuaded" to retreat.
At that time, the Demon Sect was still an existence that no one dared to provoke, and later those with a thief's heart gradually lost their courage to be thieves.
The truth about whether demons are imprisoned in the Demon Cult is no longer explored.
In recent years, some people's minds have been divided again, but fortunately, there is still Simon in charge, they only dare to think about it, but they don't dare to really put it into action.
Since the Demon Cult existed to guard the ancient demons, the positions within the organization were naturally set up for this matter.
Like the three altar masters of heaven, earth, and man, they are actually responsible for adding oil.
There is a torch in each of the three altars, standing in the middle of the courtyard, and the flame inside will burn for a long time, and they will be responsible for refueling it when the oil is about to run out.
In addition, there are four pool owners, each of whom has a small pool, and the water level drops to a certain point, and they have to fill it with water.
This work has to be done every day, for many years, and not for a day.
In a nutshell, the job of the two departments is to refuel and fill water.
In addition, there are two bells, and the owner of the bell is responsible for looking at two strange clocks, which are very similar to Western table clocks, but there are no numbers or words on them, and some are just complex symbols.
There are also no hands on it, only a disc that rotates automatically.
The last place that needs to be guarded 24 hours a day, all year round, is a circle, and the owner of the circle is responsible for guarding a large round ball, which does not rotate, only rotates, without external force, and never stops.
These four departments are idle people, and no one is allowed to enter without the order of the sect leader.
People who are not in their jobs can come out, but people from other departments are absolutely not allowed to enter at will.
Simon Wuxian specially told me about the layout and rules of the Demon Sect, just because he was afraid that I would go to the wrong place and break into a disaster that he couldn't clean up.
He repeatedly emphasized that except for these four departments, I could enter and exit any place in the Demon Sect at will, including the sect leader's study, bedroom, council hall, silver vault, and dungeon.
Love goes wherever you go, and you take what you like.
As for the rest of the sect, I don't have to worry about it, I don't care what they are responsible for, it's up to me.
Simon's conniving attitude is very similar to Mo Yu's indulgence of his stupid daughter, but I'm not interested in killing people for fun, I'm here to farm.
If you look at the small town outside the headquarters, you can know that in recent years, the Demon Sect has been "poor" and the economy is sluggish.
The man who stood waiting for me to pass by, dressed in a burgundy robe embroidered with dark bird feathers and gold trim on the cuffs, was about forty years old, with a straight back, and looked at me with his head slightly raised and his eyelids lowered.
"Demon Girl, this is Elder Xuanyuan, who is in charge of the deployment of personnel in the sect and other affairs, oh... He'sβhe's here to greet you." The last sentence of the illiterate emperor was dry, and it was obviously a temporary squeeze word.
Elder Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan has no eyes, Simon has no hatred and calls him "Brother Wuxi" when he was a child, his grandfather and father were all elders in the sect.
"The wild child who can't find the details wants to join my demon sect and calls himself a demon girl, hmph, I'm afraid the most reckless work in the world, and I don't dare to have such a delusion." Xuanyuan had no eyes in his eyes, and he saved all the kind words, and directly challenged me.
"Let me make it clear, the Demon Gu is called by Simon Wuhe, I personally don't like this title, you can call me Angel." I raised my hand and waved it lightly to stop the "guards" who wanted to speak.
They want to take this opportunity to show off and stand up for me as a boss, but I don't like people to fight for me, I like to argue for myself.
"No matter what your name is, cat or dog, and in what capacity you want to enter the Demon Cult, that's the point."
"I'm Simon's hateless sister, Simon is ruthless, of course you can still call me Angel." The name Simon Ruthless was not made up by me, it was given by Simon Ruthless before, but I refused it at the time and didn't want to use it.
However, I am a backbone, and the more Xuanyuan Wumu doubts my background, the more I have to use this identity.
Xuanyuan Wumu asked me to show evidence, otherwise he wouldn't let me go.
Further on is the gate into the HQ community, an ornate complex of buildings built in a circular area surrounded by mangrove trees.
"And what proof do you have that I am not his sister?" I stared into Xuanyuan's aimless eyes and stared at him calmly, trying to see if there was a secret hidden in his eyes.
"You are using strong words, can't you prove it, so you can let anyone come and confess to the sect leader?"
"Let me correct a little, it's not that I came to confess to Simon without hatred, it's that he found me and recognized me, you question your sect master for not knowing people, don't pull me on the head."
