Chapter 4 The predecessors sucked blood, and the descendants took the blame
Seeing that Ninia had succumbed, Vincent was not carried away by the small achievement.
In times of crisis, he must be cautious with every step.
"Lich sage, there are enough undead. I'm going to put a collar on a new toy, and please get me some gold and contract blood crystals to prepare for the Blood Curse Ritual. ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The Lich Leader's voice was full of joy, "Increasing the fear of humanity will give me strength." ”
"Don't forget, give a little reward to the warriors who worked hard to catch the thieves today."
The threat was not enough, Vincent deliberately announced the reward in front of Ninia.
"I'm very busy, take a hundred magic crystals, and you and the giant scythe will divide them among you on my behalf. Remember, the wounded receive ten! Warriors, work hard, and there will be rewards in the future! ”
The magic crystal is produced in the Demon Realm, and it is the best tonic for monsters who crave magical power.
Hearing a hundred magic crystals, Ninia was also surprised, this is not a small amount.
A dozen intelligent demons can get several each.
It's a lot of money that adventurers can't make in a hard year.
"Long live Your Highness! Long live the hosts! ”
Seeing such a rich reward, a group of monsters began to dance again.
Of course, the lichs must be more happy, and the Scythe is also happy, but not obviously.
"See, stupid woman, I will not treat the faithful, nor will I forgive the inadequate."
Speaking of which, he added.
"How much money did your mastermind take to buy your life for you to do such a stupid thing? If it is not as high as my reward, you are too cheap. ”
In the face of Vincent's heart-wrenching words, Ninia's face was full of shame and indignation, and she was speechless for a while, but she cried uncontrollably.
"Live well here, it's enough for people to be stupid once, don't be stupid enough to be used again next time."
"Yes, master...... Woowoo woo ......"
Amid the howls of the monsters and the sobs of Ninia, Vincent felt something stir in his heart like never before.
Now it may just be his over-exuberant desire to survive.
Still, maybe one day, that thing will grow, get stronger, and be more intimidating.
But even at that time, Vincent would still tell himself without forgetting his original intention-
Even if he is unscrupulous, he has no choice but to do it, he just wants to be a lying nobleman and happily plaything.
The gold is here, and rubbing a collar is a breeze for Vincent, who is protected by the craftsman.
As long as the materials are in place, Vincent can rub the toys directly with his hands, and he is a walking humanoid machining center.
As long as you think of the shape in your mind and inject magic into your hands, the metal can be freely transformed in your hands.
It's magic, not science, and it's not too cool to use.
Because the gold collar was so exquisitely rubbed, Ninia's eyes were so straight that she almost forgot that it was a shackle for herself.
She never dreamed of getting something so beautiful.
The joys and sorrows of life followed, and the girl looked at everything that was extremely unreal, and began to be dazed and in a trance.
However, at this moment of happiness, Vincent gradually felt powerless.
Oh no, the level of the craftsman's protection may be too low, and it will be difficult to continue after rubbing two things.
So, he could only dispel the idea of showing off his skills and hurriedly ended the production.
The manual work was done, and the ritual of the blood curse was almost ready.
The magic crystal dripped with the girl's blood and was firmly attached to the collar, which Vincent himself wore around her neck.
Since then, Ninia, who has sworn allegiance, will be mortally punished by the explosion of the magic crystal if she breaks her oath, even if it is just a heartbeat.
The vast majority of humans don't like demons, and Vincent knows that, so loyalty is very important to him.
After the ceremony, Ninia still knelt at his feet, not daring to get up without orders.
She knew that her life no longer belonged to her, let alone senseless dignity.
"Get up, Ninia." Vincent bowed his head and ordered, "You are not an animal, walk upright." ”
"Yes, master."
Ninia stood up tremblingly, a little surprised, she thought her humiliation was just beginning from the moment the ritual was completed.
It would not surprise her to let the peasant girl crawl like an animal, at least in the case of the farmstead the landlord was fond of torturing the peasants in this way.
It seems that the young lord's taste is indeed higher than that of the landlord.
The chaos in the harbor is over, and as Vincent prepares to leave, there are monsters and skeletons building a guillotine.
Until the support promised to him by the Demon King's father arrives, Vincent does not plan to provoke the people with a killing spree.
"Don't take it, open the portal and go to the castle."
The Great Lich finished a spell and waved his scepter, and a portal made of bones slowly rose.
From inside the door, Vincent could see a different view of the castle.
The monsters swam in, and Ninia and several corpses that were still intact were taken away.
Arriving at the castle of the Silver Dragon Castle, Vincent knew why the people hated him so much.
It's too magnificent, isn't it? It's not so much a castle as a palace.
I don't know, I thought Disney Castle had also crossed.
Well-decorated houses, neat and clean roads, beautiful gardens, and warehouses full of supplies are all rare to find in the Demon Realm.
The lord's mansion is even more resplendent and extravagant, and although most of the valuable things in it have been taken away by the predecessor, the remaining furniture is still staggering.
It's surprising that the demons who didn't need a luxurious life would enjoy such a blessing.
With so much money looted, how could the people forget that they had won the great lack of virtue of the lord?
Unlike the grumbling lord, Ninia looked stupid, this was not the world she could imagine at all.
In the huge bedroom of the lord, there were no windows on all sides, and he could not see his fingers without lighting the lamp when he entered.
Vincent didn't see the bed, only a coffin the size of a classroom.
"Oh, hell, seeing this thing in broad daylight, it's really bad luck to get home!" Vincent scolded, "Carry this out for me and burn it." ”
"It's a former lord's thing." The Lich Sage touched the jeweled coffin and said, "It's a pity that I can't take it with me, otherwise I can sell it for a lot of money." ”
"Who is the ex?"
"Count of the Blood 'Red Wings' Dakras."
"Red Wings? I think it's Porco Rosso! Your Majesty said that this guy is so fat that he can't fly now, it turns out that vampires not only suck blood, but also make money, and offend all the people to me! ”
Vincent was so angry that he kicked the ornate coffin into a big hole, and a bunch of stinky bat monsters flew out of it.
The giant scythe stepped forward and slashed the bats to the ground.
The predecessor got some nourishment, and he had already returned to the Demon Domain with the loot to enjoy the blessings.
Poor Vincent was ordered by the Demon King to come and take the blame.
Vincent even suspected that the sixth prince was not born by the Demon King, right?
"Also, who are these people?"
A group of charming and beautiful women stood in the corner of the room, and Vincent immediately recognized that they were not human.
"This is a dependant of a former lord, who serves as a maid and concubine here." The Great Lich replied, "They weren't taken, do you want to keep them?" ”
"What a disgusting vampire, I don't want to be gnawed by the Earl wherever I go."
"Your Highness, what about these dependents?" The Great Lich asked, "Do you want to be sent back to the Demon Realm?" ”
"Save some courier fees! Lich Sage, find a way to get them back home after recovery, or the people will think I'm a blood-sucking pervert too. ”
Ninia glanced at Vinson mockingly, as if to say, "I actually thought I wasn't a pervert."
When the lord looked at her, the girl quickly pretended to be well-behaved again.
"Master, who will serve you?" The giant sickle asked with concern, "I will protect, I will not take care of it." ”
"Just let Miss Bone and her men take care of me."
After saying the order, Vincent glanced at Ninia coldly.
"By the way, isn't there still her?"
Serving a Lord? Ninia immediately felt creepy, and her whole body became uncomfortable.
After arranging all the trivial matters, Vincent left his subordinates behind and walked into the tower of the castle alone.
The tower is different from other places, and the decoration and layout are full of original demon style.
On the floor, there were some unknown magical beast bones and strange magic weapons, which were surrounded in a circle, forming a large magic circle with a diameter of five meters.
This is the sound transmission tower used by the demons, where high-level demons can report to the demon king thousands of miles away.
Alone, Vincent stepped closer, reached out to cast his magic, and spoke to the circle.
"Dear father, I have arrived safely in the territory."
