Chapter 226: Demon Sword Ji
Horn walked into the hall with an elegant gait, dressed in a black robe. I have to say that Horn's demeanor and demeanor are really getting more and more similar to Ares.
Horn ignored the eyes of others, slowly saluted Xiusi, and said, "I heard that Young Master Fang Yu has newly advanced to the seventh order, so I came to congratulate you." ”
It's just a seventh-order, not a saint-level, so there's no need for Horn to come to congratulate him in person.
In fact, Xiusi just wanted to take advantage of this incident to put Fang Yu and Xue'er's wedding date on the agenda, to be honest, it was only a seventh-order, it was not worth celebrating, after all, even Xue'er and Dia did not have such treatment.
Hugh laughed twice and said, "Young Master Horn, why do you have time to come?"
Horn smiled: "Your Excellency is polite, I'm just here to join in the fun." ”
"Huh. Xiusi's eyes flashed with fine light, and an old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and said: "Since you are here, you are naturally a guest of my Xiusi family, and you can do your own thing." After saying that, Hughes stopped paying attention to Horn and chatted with others again.
Horn's identity is different from the past, although Horn is still the young master of the Ares family, but in the heart of Xius, Horn seems to be the head of the Ares family. And Horn is not from the same generation as Theseus, of course, Horn is not as cold to Horn as he is to Ares, even if Horn is shameless, he has not fallen to the point of bullying juniors, right?
If it was in the past, Xius would definitely drive Horn out mercilessly, but now looking at Theseus's attitude towards Horn, some demons have already smelled an unusual smell, and their gaze at Horn has begun to be ambiguous.
But isn't Horn still fighting with Xiao Ya to seize power now?How can he have time to come to the Xiuth family?
Although Ares once said that he hoped that Theseus and Gotai could help Horn, after all, this is Ares's family matter, and the rules of the ancestors are there, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, until the last resort, Hughes and Gotai will not casually interfere in the affairs of Ares's family.
In fact, even if the orthodox heir inherits the family, there will be small-scale sibling fights, not to mention that now the unjustifiable Horn wants to inherit the Ares family, and Xiao Ya, who is almost equal to Okka, will certainly not let Horn grow bigger.
It's just that with the covert support of Xiusi and Gotai, Xiao Ya has already been doomed to defeat. As long as it is within the allowable range of casualties, both Hughes and Gotai hope that Horn can solve this problem by himself, after all, Horn is the person who will become one of the heads of the three major families in the future, if Horn does not even have the ability to deal with such a thing, and hands over the huge Ares family to Horn, the future of the Ares family is really worrying.
However, Hughes has to say that Horn's methods are indeed very clever, and it is really strange that Xiao Ya, who has mastered nearly half of Ares's power, will live peacefully with Horn for half a month.
For half a month, Ares has maintained relative calm, Horn and Xiao Ya don't seem to be in a hurry at all, Horn is not in a hurry to kill Xiao Ya directly and cut Xiao Ya's forces to the roots, and Xiao Ya except for quarreling with Horn, it seems that he is not in a hurry to destroy Horn, so let Horn jump around alive.
Although Ares's soul was integrated into Horn's body, Ares did not leave a word in Ares's family before he died, and the three major families fought each other for many years, what Ares said to Theseus and Goday, the people of the Ares family may not believe it, and Ares died just after leaving the Tower of Babel, and died in front of Theseus and Goday, no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is a bit of a smell of Theseus and Goday teaming up to murder Ares.
If Theseus and Gotai went to Ares's house and told the elders of the Ares family that Ares wanted Horn to inherit the Ares family, they might have thought that Hughes and Gotai had other plans, but it was possible that because of their words, Horn was completely isolated, and even pushed Horn to the opposite side of the Ares family, but helped Xiao Ya in disguise.
Therefore, the old fox-like Xius and Godai wisely chose to shut up, as long as they knew this matter, the affairs of the Ares family, of course, it was best to solve it by themselves.
Horn ignored the others and walked directly towards Fang Yu, Dia, and Ye.
Fang Yu's expression was very indifferent, then he lowered his eyelids and took a shallow sip of wine to hide the glint in his eyes.
Horn's body was full of lazy aura, but Fang Yu's whole body was subconsciously tense.
Maybe it was Raymond who stimulated Fang Yu a little more, and in the face of people with a similar aura to Raymond's body, Fang Yu would always subconsciously increase his vigilance.
Moreover, Fang Yu could clearly feel that Horn had a very dangerous aura on his body, and if he didn't need to look at it with his eyes, Fang Yu even felt that a mysterious and powerful beast was slowly approaching him. It was wrapped in darkness, but Fang Yu could feel the power of madness and irritability contained in the darkness.
Despite Horn's lazy and harmless appearance, he is more like a devil who hides in the darkness and chooses people to devour. I don't know who completely unleashed Horn's hidden ferocity.
Fang Yu had seen Horn several times, but he had never felt like this, if it wasn't because Fang Yu had advanced now, it was because Horn had broken through again.
Horn nodded to Dia and said with a smile, "Master Dia, it's been a long time. ”
Dia just looked at Horn quietly, with an almost imperceptible apology on her indifferent face. Regardless, Oka and Ares' deaths have something to do with Dia. If Dia and Horn's identities were to switch today, Dia wasn't sure if she would be able to act like Horn and not care at all like she is now.
Horn took a breath, slightly avoided Horn's gaze, and said lightly, "Long time no see." ”
Horn turned to Fang Yu and said with a smile: "Young Master Fang Yu is really young and promising, he has become a seventh-order master so quickly, and he has also won the most beautiful beauty of our demon clan, Young Master Fang Yu is really enviable." ”
"Huh. Fang Yu smiled: "Young Master Horn is really too polite, compared to Young Master Horn, Fang Yu is really nothing." ”
Dia smiled and said, "Young Master Horn, I don't know when I will be able to drink Young Master Horn's happy wine?"
Horn shook his head and said half-truthfully: "Young Master Fang Yu has been engaged to my most beloved woman, Horn is really sad and has no intention of marrying someone else." Horn didn't see any sadness in his eyes, but he sighed faintly. said: "It's Young Master Fang Yu, when will I be able to drink your happy wine?"
Fang Yu smiled: "Don't worry. ”
Dia narrowed her eyes, put her head directly on Horn's shoulder, leaned her head closer to Horn, and said, "I said brother, what are you still hiding from me?" I mean, when will you be able to ascend to the position of the head of the family, and the younger brother should prepare a generous gift, right?"
Horn was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Dia to make such an intimate move. Horn showed no modesty at all, and with a confident smile on his face, he said, "This matter...... No hurry, no hurry. ”
Dia said in a low voice: "How can a huge family like Ares be without an owner for a day? ”
Horn smiled and said, "I don't know what Young Master Diya thinks?"
"Huh. Dia touched her nose and said, "I can't talk about it, but I'm afraid that if this matter drags on for more and more, it will be bad for Young Master Horn." ”
Horn smiled elegantly: "Then thank you Young Master Dia for your concern." ”
The eyes of the night wandered, and I didn't know where I was looking. However, just as Dia put his hand on Horn's shoulder, a faint layer of black mist floated around the four of them, blocking the leakage of Dia and Horn's voices.
Under the eighth order, no one can hear the conversation between Diya and Horn at all, and if the demons above the seventh order want to listen, although the night can't stop it, they can feel their behavior, and when the time comes, Diya will of course stop talking.
The dark magic of the night is difficult for even the masters of the Holy Rank to escape, and now, the Night is only the seventh order, which is really terrifying.
Fang Yu also turned his gaze away, looking very relaxed.
Dia said nonchalantly, "Well, I was by his side when Lord Ares died. Dia shook her head and said, "Your Excellency Ares was covered in purple and black at that time, as if he had been poisoned, and he almost just got out of the Tower of Babel, and he ...... in a few moments" Dia said to herself: "It's really miserable." ”
Dia didn't say nonsense, Ares didn't even have a corpse left at that time, and his entire body turned into a cloud of purple smoke, which was really too miserable. Who would have thought that the dignified head of the Ares family would end up with such an ending in the end?
And Horn didn't have much expression on his face, and Dia's hint was already obvious, Ares was poisoned and poisoned to death. can poison the head of the Ares family, not only this poison, but also the method of poisoning is really worth scrutinizing.
Ares may have been poisoned for several years, but it was never detected until the poison erupted, and the momentum was unstoppable, because of the pressure of the Tower of Babel, Ares barely suppressed the poison, and as soon as he left the Tower of Babel, Ares immediately died of poison.
Horn was not surprised at all that Dia would know about this, and for such a big matter as the death of Ares, both Theus and Gotai would definitely send someone to investigate secretly. Although it is a little incredible, when I think of Ares's appearance before his death, the word of poisoning seems extremely accurate.
What makes Horn really strange is how Diya could have said this to herself?
In fact, Horn has not touched Horn, first, Horn is plotting against those demons under Shawya's command to turn their allegiance to Horn, and second, Horn is also investigating the poisoning of Ares.
Although the three major families have been fighting privately, not to mention whether Xius and Gotai can use such despicable means, just under the current situation, Xius and Gotai will definitely not attack Ares, so Horn lightly ruled out the suspicion of the Xius family and the Gotai family.
Then, the people of the Ares family who want the life of the head of the family are the only ones who can get the greatest benefit after the death of the head of the family. So during this time, Horn has also been investigating Xiao Ya.
When Horn has enough evidence, he can justifiably execute Xiao Ya, and those demons who follow Xiao Ya know Xiao Ya's crime, and I believe that they will no longer follow Xiao Ya, and Horn will be able to preserve the power of the Ares family as much as possible. The crime of killing the father is big, but killing the head of the family is a heinous crime, and it will almost lead to the end of betrayal and separation, so Horn is not in a hurry to solve Xiao Ya.
In fact, it is not difficult for Horn to take out Shawya, but Horn must think about the entire Ares family. Knowing what he and his family were up against, Horn had to preserve his family's viability as much as possible.
In fact, Horn vaguely guessed the unusualness of the matter when Ares sent them to fetch the Death Sea Buckthorn, but after Horn fused Ares's soul, Horn really understood the cause and effect of the matter, and even knew what kind of huge crisis the three major families were about to face. Horn won't be like Shawa's stupid donkey, who only knows how to revolve around the Ares family.
Horn's face was full of laziness, but a fierce look flashed in his eyes, since Xius had begun to urge himself, it seemed that this matter really couldn't be delayed any longer. Although he was only seventy percent sure, Horn could only do his best to eradicate Xiao Ya.
Horn smiled faintly: "Young Master Dia, please rest assured, Horn knows what to do." ”
"Huh. Dia nodded and smiled, "That's good, that's good." Dia said sincerely: "If there is anything, Young Master Horn does not have to be polite, I, Dia, will definitely help you." ”
Horn was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Definitely, definitely." ”
Horn didn't misunderstand Dia's meaning, since Dia made a promise to Horn in her own name, it means that Horn will not take advantage of the fire to rob, and Dia did this just to help Horn.
Dia let go of Horn and said with a smile: "Young Master Horn, you might as well come to the Xiusi house to play more in the future." Dia smiled and said, "Anyway, our two families are always allies." ”
"Huh. Horn's face became a little indifferent, and he said, "Young Master Dia, why don't you go to my Ares's house to have fun if you have time." ”
"Visit by all means. ”
Horn raised his glass in the distance, then gestured to Dia and walked away.
Fang Yu looked at Dia's solemn eyes and said, "Dia?"
Dia was silent for half a second, then whispered, "I owe Horn a life." ”
Either way, Oka died because of Dia, and Dia remembers. And the depth of the relationship between Oka and Horn is known to everyone in the demon clan, and Dia can only try her best to help Horn.
Turning his head to look at Fang Yu and Ye, Dia was silent. Words of gratitude, Dia no longer need to say.
Although he didn't know what they had experienced, Dia knew that Fang Yu and Ye must have been born and died for him. This friendship is far from being expressed in a few words or a few words of thanks.
The strong brotherhood slowly flowed in the hearts of Fang Yu, Dia, and Ye.
