Chapter 285: The Trouble of the Blood Scythe
As the Demon Count of Bloodclaw Island, Bloodsickle has been under a lot of pressure lately......
There are many reasons for the pressure, such as his greedy and cunning subordinates, who always run away first when the battle is unfavorable, such as the increasingly strict round-up of the Cold Stone Empire, so that Bloodclaw Island may be completely exposed at any time, such as the commercial fleets passing nearby always take a long detour, so that he has worked desperately this month to rob a few small merchant ships, and he can't even eat.
I've had enough! Why is it so hard to be a demon?
In the midnight blood-colored moonlight, the blood scythe squatted on the tower of the desolate castle, looking at the swarm of black bats flying in the sky, grinding its fangs with anger on its face, and two huge scythes made of flesh and blood plunged deep into the hard rock in front of it, emitting a demonic aura as black as night, and even making the surrounding air become cold.
Sometimes, it really felt ashamed that as a noble scythe demon of the family, Count Ben had been reduced to the point of robbing small merchant ships for a living, which was simply detrimental to the evil reputation of the demon family, enough to disgrace the family's dark emblem, which could not be washed away even with blood.
You know, thousands of years ago, the grandfather of Count Ben's grandfather was the demon king who once ruled the entire Stormy Sea, and he controlled millions of human slaves, and just for the dessert of every meal, he would eat the hearts of a hundred maidens, and he would not eat it unless he was a virgin.
But now, as the Cold Stone Empire established by humans becomes more and more powerful, Count Ben can only hide on this desolate island, with a group of incompetent low-level demons to mess around, and even the blood bat golem left by the family cannot be unsealed...... Damn, if the grandfather's grandfather's grandfather knew in hell, he would be furious to death.
However, life always goes on, doesn't it?
Wielding the scythe viciously, the blood scythe forced itself to cheer up. Thinking about how to reinvigorate the family and restore the evil reputation of the Nicholas family, as the last words of the grandfather's grandfather said, although the road is full of twists and turns, the future must be dark!
So, instead of lamenting the bad situation that can't be changed, it's better to think about what to do next, maybe you should try to kidnap a certain nobleman, or find a way to kill a few recalcitrant knights...... Warm up with that strange guy who just entered the Blood Castle?
Speaking of that weird guy. Blood Scythe couldn't help but bow his head slightly, looking at the desolate garden under the tower, just half an hour ago, a young man with black hair and black eyes actually walked into the castle lazily, and looking at his leisurely appearance, it seemed that he was planning to spend the night here?
It's so strange to know that this desolate Bloodclaw Island is full of vicious demonic beasts. And his own insidious and brutal demons, but the human was so nervous that he was defenseless, as if he were having a picnic in his back garden.
Of course, that's not the point. The real point is that the guy's life is simply ...... It's simply that poverty and luxury have fallen to the extreme!
What? How extravagant, you ask? Just look at the dinner he's eating.
Expensive caviar from the North Sea, which requires at least five hundred gold coins per piece. But he was unceremoniously used as a dessert before cooking, an expensive bottle of Porto red wine, enough to feed a medium-sized family. But he only took a sip and threw it away, as well as the roast pig that was roasted to a golden brown and crispy crisp...... Well, the roast pig itself isn't worth much, but that bastard actually sprinkled half a pound of spices on it, as if he didn't want money.
Beasts!Losers!Fallen! Wasted!
The blood sickle gritted his teeth with grief and indignation, and his eyes were burning with red flames, unforgivable, simply unforgivable, as the demon count of the Blood Castle, I have only drunk a small bowl of polenta since the morning, but this little white face who looks weak and can't help the wind actually dares to ...... How dare you ......
Probably attracted by the aroma of food, all the demons in the castle gathered, the hideous Abyssal Flame Demon spewed flames, the vicious Ice Angel Demon waved its claws, all the demons were full of anger, what the little white face did was simply a provocation to the demon clan.
"Kill him!Grab all his things!" A few seconds later, watching Lin Taiping take out another high-grade foie gras, the Abyssal Flame Demon couldn't help but roar fiercely, "Lord Blood Scythe, give me an order, as long as you give me two minutes, I promise to kill that damn little white face and snatch all his things!"
Agree, completely agree, more than a dozen demons can't wait for a long time, eager to rush out now, that damn little white face, actually dare to show off his wealth arrogantly in the demon's castle, is it unbearable, if you don't snatch him so that he doesn't even have pants left, do we demons still have dignity at all?
"Dignity you are big!" "Blood Scythe suddenly jumped up viciously, trampling a group of demons under his feet, "A bunch of fools, do you use your brains, I swear by my family's evil reputation, that guy dares to break into the castle, it means that he must have some kind of support, even if he seems to be ineffective now." ”
This is true, the demons looked at each other, and had to admit that they were indeed stimulated to lose their minds a little just now, but the Abyss Flame Demon still couldn't help but mutter: "Damn, can we only watch like this, and let that little white face leave the castle safely, this is simply detrimental to your family's reputation." ”
"Of course not, I swear by the evil reputation of my family, and I will never let go of the fat that reaches my mouth!" "Blood Scythe sharpened his fangs with a vicious face, but narrowed his triangular eyes insidiously, "However, a frontal assault is the stupidest thing to do, we should think of other ways to kill that human at the lowest cost, such as ...... Lilu?"
In an instant, with the low cry of the blood sickle, all the demons turned their heads in unison and looked at the corner of the tower.
"Me?" The succubus girl hiding in the corner was stunned at first, and then shook her head desperately with tears streaming down her face: "Woo woo, my lord, why am I again, why is it me every time?"
Unlike the ferocity of other demons, this trembling succubus girl looks weak and timid, her baby's fat pink cheeks are pale, her big watery eyes are full of tears, and her petite and soft body trembles slightly. Just use a goldfish and you will be scammed......
At this moment, being watched by the demons with great anticipation, she couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said pitifully: "My lord, I really want to help, but I can only use the fireball technique, and I only have one shot." ”
"Idiot, did I let you go to hand-to-hand combat?" the blood sickle snorted angrily, and took out a large box from the tower, "Less wordy." Choose one of your own, and then use your natural charm to get rid of that human. ”
In some of the large old chests, there were more than a dozen sets of clothing and armor of different styles, all of which were left over from the previous robbery of caravans, including the ball evening dress of a noble girl, the standard attire of a mercenary adventurer, the battle armor of an armed knight, and even a set of short-skirted maid outfits that could easily make people think about it......
Sure enough, it's this trick again!
The demons looked at each other with strange faces, and the Heart Dao Blood Scythe Lord was really unchanged for thousands of years. Every time I let Lilu deceive people, but I have to admit that Lilu is really pretending to be something, such as the innocent little maid she played last time. actually let a few mercenaries with crooked brains kill each other directly, and before the demons could make a move, they almost died.
"What works is the best. The blood scythe smirked triumphantly, but with a vicious swing of the scythe. "Lilu, you came here to choose it yourself, it's a helpless aristocratic girl who was kidnapped by demons. Or a righteous knight who goes out on adventures, or a pure maid who can do anything?"
Can I choose nothing?Lilu was not in tears at this point, but tears were about to flow like a river, and for some reason, she had a terrible premonition, as if the strange human with his back to the tower was waiting for her to run into it stupidly......
"Don't be wordy, hurry up and change your clothes. Bloodsickle touched his chin without sympathy, "Listen, I'm just giving you a few minutes, if you don't let me see a satisfactory result, then you won't want to eat for the next three days." ”
Woo woo, don't, don't, poor Lilu couldn't cry, she could only pick up those clothes with a pale face, and went into the tower room aggrieved, I don't know what she did in the room, after two or three minutes, she whispered timidly: "My lord, I'm fine, do you want to come out now?"
A group of demons looked at each other with strange faces, and waited with their eyes wide in curiosity, and the blood sickle desperately urged: "Don't be wordy, come out quickly after changing, I don't want that human to escape...... Huh?"
A few seconds later, when I saw Lilu reappearing, the demons present were suddenly stunned, and the ghost knew what was going on, and as the door was gently pushed open, it was actually a holy and pious priestess of light who walked out of the room carefully.
On the delicate and beautiful face, exuding a solemn and sacred atmosphere, the silver-white priest's robe hung down to the feet, looking simple and neat and clean, holding a mahogany scepter in his left hand, and holding the old and yellowed "Holy Book of Light" in his right hand, no matter from which point of view, this is a pious priestess with light in her heart, and there is no trace of evil at all.
What a genius idea this is! More than a dozen demons were immediately in awe, as a demon who believes in the god of darkness, Lilu you can actually play the priestess of light, seriously, if the god of light has a spirit in the sky, maybe a thunderbolt will directly slash down?
In fact, for a few seconds, the demons were a little unrecognizable, and the blood sickle couldn't help but have a strange face: "Lilu, your human father who has never met before, could it really be before?"
"I, I don't know. Lilu pitifully hugged the scepter, the petite was not as tall as the scepter, "My lord, do I look okay like this?"
It is unbelievable that Lilu, who was originally weak and timid, after dressing up as a priestess of light, actually has the temperament of that divine light, if it weren't for the tears in her big eyes, she could have swaggered into the Temple of Light.
"Perfect, really perfect. The blood scythe snorted happily, and couldn't wait to sharpen the black scythe, "So, what are you waiting for, remember our plan, you know what to do, right?"
I know it, but Lilu still has a feeling of fright, and can't help but say pitifully, "Woo woo, my lord, what if that human is very smart, if he really sees through it, if ......"
"If that's the case, you can die. The blood scythe waved the scythe very irresponsibly, and said with a fierce face, "So, you'd better act like it, understand?"
What can I say, poor Lilu could only burst into tears, biting her lips tightly and desperately reminding herself, I am a priest, I am a priest, I am a priest, I am a demon...... No, no, no, I'm a demon...... No, no, no, I'm a priest, I'm a priest......
"Good, then we're going to get started. The blood sickle smiled wickedly, and slowly turned his head away, looking at the Oriental man who was still happily eating from a distance.
After a few seconds, it suddenly stretched out its long tongue, which was as red as blood, and gently licked the cold, sharp black scythe, and chuckled in an eerie hideous chuckle, causing several crows on the top of the tower to fly away in terror.
"Tsk, it's a fun game, I can't wait!" (To be continued......)
