The fire on the outskirts of the city burned for three days and three nights, burning down not only Cecil's villa but also almost the entire Vatican.
Wade Cecil, who was notorious as the "Black Emperor", also disappeared in the fire. No one found his body. The latecomers only saw a destroyed teleportation array and countless human bones. In addition, there was also Thomas Eddon Cecil who was declared dead. His younger brother took over the position of the head of the Cecil family and claimed that he died of an acute illness. No one knows the truth behind it.
Without the deterrence of Vader's military power, the remnants of the Church and the old aristocracy in Dusk City are ready to make a move, and they want to label Vader as the devil who stole the throne again. Duke Hall and others will wait for the return of their monarch, and the restorationists will never give up their intentions. There are those secret organizations hidden underwater, the Fallen Cross, and the "night market"... The Green family, who are trying to protect themselves, closed the doors and windows. Elizabeth, who no longer believes in God, no longer prays to God with her father and brother, but takes off the necklace that she originally planned to donate to the Church on Christmas Day from her neck, secretly orders someone to exchange it for money, and donates it to the charity association founded by someone...
No matter what, until Wade Sissel returns to the royal city or is confirmed dead, this undercurrent will never subside. His return may face the blade of the traitor or the fear of ordinary people.
In addition, there is a rumor that Lucian Cecil also appeared in the fire. This former Son of God has now fallen into the company of the devil and died in the fire with him.
And all this news is now dust that the silver-haired saint in the Demon Realm cannot hear.
…
Lucian covered his face with a linen cloak he had picked up. This was not because of the strong wind and sand in the Demon Realm, but because the bright red magic pattern on his forehead belonging to the succubus was too conspicuous.
Succubi are a species that attracts conspiracy and covetousness even in the Demon Realm. For example, the person following him now.
Or rather, it was a high-level demon clan.
"You said your brother was injured?" The demon looked like a human. The more handsome the demons were, the better their magic power was. What's more, he had long horns on his head, which only high-ranking demons had. At this moment, he followed behind Lucian, his brown eyes kept glancing at his overly slender waist, "So he is also..."
“Yes, he is also a succubus. We were bought by human slave traders and we managed to escape with great difficulty,” Lucian pushed aside the bushes, “Look…”
The tall demon stretched his neck to look, and indeed there was a seriously injured beauty lying in the bushes, with her body and head covered with straw mats. The beauty had an elegant appearance, but her eyes were tightly closed, as if she was in pain. The appearance of the two succubi made the tall demon suppress his excitement, and said: "Maybe I can..."
"Have you seen enough?"
A soft voice sounded behind him, and the next moment, there was the sound of a dagger being unsheathed.
Lucian had chopped off the head of the tall demon before it could even scream. In order to prevent him from having any special abilities to reincarnate, Lucian used the dagger's soul-burning ability to burn his soul.
The lustful and greedy demon would never have thought that his momentary negligence would lead to such a fate. The seemingly weak gray-haired succubus in front of him was actually a...
A femme fatale who cuts the grass and eradicates it completely.
Lucian tied his long hair with a ribbon and squatted down to search the body. Behind him, in the bushes, Wade was still sleeping.
This was the third day since they came to the Demon Realm. The demon in front of them was the third demon killed by Lucian.
"No. 5, why did you bring him here to kill him?" The system complained in his mind, "You could have killed him on the road just now, why did you bother to come all this way..."
"Wouldn't it be more exciting if Wade woke up and saw me killing people to protect him?" Lucian answered, shaking his head regretfully. "Unfortunately, I tried several times, but he didn't wake up at the most critical moment. My performance was in vain."
system:…
"Ah, this person has something good in his package."
Lucian took out a token from the package. With this token, Lucian could successfully enter the main city of the Demon Realm.
There are seven large city-states in the Demon Realm, and each city has its own city lord. Above the city lord is the lord of the Supreme Main City, who commands the entire Demon Realm. The city lords of the seven cities are different demons, representing the seven deadly sins. Of course, in the city-state of "lust", the city lord is a high-level succubus.
That city-state is also the only city-state that is like a paradise for succubi.
The Demon Realm outside the city-state is extremely dangerous. In addition to the dangerous swamps, forests with unknown creatures, bottomless caves, and flames that suddenly emerge from the ground with a smell of sulfur, there are also various monsters wandering in the Demon Realm, and even crack-type monsters that crawl out of the cracks.
Of course, encountering a demon with a mind is not a good thing. The demons are a race of the jungle, and the city-state is maintained in order by the existence of the city lord, but killing one's own people in the wild is not a new thing. Moreover, Lucian is now a succubus - a succubus with great power will be respected in the demon realm, but it is also easier to become a target and a plaything of more powerful demons.
"Unfortunately, it's not the city of lust. It's the city of the greedy city lord, but it's better than nothing." Lucian saw the pattern on the card and took it back into his arms out of boredom. The demon city-state relies on tokens to enter and exit, and you can get tokens by submitting enough merits to the city lord. The demon city lord doesn't care who the token he issued goes to - the law of the jungle is the default rule in the demon clan.
So it was a good opportunity for Lucian who made a living by robbery.
In addition, the high-ranking demon's package also contained some scrolls, magic potions, and silver coins used by the demons as a universal currency. Lucian took them all away. He looked up at the seemingly endless dark demon realm, sat down next to Wade, and put the needle on his face.
Wade was sleeping. He looked at him with his eyelashes drooping, and there seemed to be some sadness in his eyes. The system looked at Lucian's expression, and suddenly felt a little sad.
After a long time, it heard Lucian whisper: "I'm so sad..."
The system comforted Lucian: "Don't be afraid, Wade should wake up soon."
Lucian continued, "It's been a long time since I've had to count my money so much. I'm so sad."
system:…
Lucian: "And I have to take care of people, alas."
…Lucian had indeed not experienced such a hard life for a long time. He should have been pampered for decades. The system could only comfort him: "Why don't you run away?"
"No, if I run away now, I will have to live a miserable life for three years." Lucian replied, brushing aside a strand of Wade's black hair with his fingers, "It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one."
system:
Lucian's sadness only lasted for a while. In the afternoon, he went to the jungle and caught a magic rabbit. The Demon Realm also has its own magic rabbits. This kind of rabbit has black fur and red eyes, and is silly and plump, but timid. It secretly watched Lucian for a long time from behind the mushroom bushes, and thought that this beauty looked gentle and holy, so it ran over on all fours to ask for a touch, and then Lucian grabbed the rabbit's ears.
The rabbit chirped in Lucian's mouth. Lucian didn't rely on eating this kind of food to get energy, but he didn't let it go. The system watched Lucian grab the rabbit's ears and shake it, and then heard him say: "You said..."
system:
Lucian: "Catch four of them, tie them to a straw mat with a rope, can they drag Wade away?"
System: “I’m afraid not.”
“You’re so useless.” Lucian poked the rabbit with his finger, and the rabbit screamed again.
Lucian didn't eat the rabbit, but he played with it for a while out of mischief. Finally, he tried to put the rabbit on Vader's face. The moment he let go, the rabbit screamed and ran away from Vader, who seemed to be extremely frightened.
"Look at you, even rabbits don't like you." Lucian held his chin and sighed, "You are so scary."
system:…
The system began to feel unbearable to look directly at its host. Finally, after two days of waiting, Lucian gave up waiting for Wade to wake up. He let Wade's arm go around his shoulders, carried him, and walked out of the jungle.
As they walked, Lucian said, "I've been so kind to Wade, he must be very touched when he wakes up."
system:…
Lucian's kindness didn't last long. Less than an hour after carrying Wade, he became impatient. Lucian stared at Wade, as if he was wondering whether to abandon him and run away. The system even heard a few creepy words from him, such as "He won't die anyway" and "Bringing him here should be a great kindness, and he was very touched"...
Fortunately, Lucian soon encountered a monster with red eyes. The monster looked very similar to a traditional wild boar, but with sharper fangs, a more ferocious look, and a more…
Broad back.
Lucian threw Vader down on the spot, trapped the demon pig that tried to attack him with holy light, and beat it for four hours.
Four hours later, the demon pig whimpered and wept as it walked forward. The unconscious Wade was carried by the demon pig, while Lucian walked leisurely beside them.
system:…
The walk lasted a quiet day. The next night, Lucian finally arrived at the main city. After seeing more people, Lucian covered his face with his cloak. He dragged Wade off the magic pig, and the magic pig ran away in tears after getting his permission.
System: “…Host you.”
Lucian: "Ah, I am so tired after carrying Wade all the way here."
Lucian carried Wade in line to enter the main city. When he was in the line, several nearby demons couldn't help but look at him - Lucian looked like a kind demon who would take his injured companion back to the main city.
This is extremely rare among the demons.
Lucian ignored their scrutiny. He was only worried about the people entering the city. You know, when he was the Holy Son, he was famous in the Demon Realm.
The demon warriors wanted to eat their bones.
Fortunately, this trip was over without any danger. Lucian successfully entered the main city of the demon clan, and soon he was in trouble.
He has come in, but where should he live now
