That's right, the spider demon in front of him was Roy's first "neighbor" Alanya when he was in the shallow abyss world!
At that time, Roy was just a low-ranking demon. He couldn't defeat Alanya at all and was almost eaten as food. However, what he didn't expect was that things had changed. Now Roy has already become a top-level mid-level demon. Demon, and is climbing to the upper-level demon, but Alanya has just been promoted to the middle-level demon.
Through spiritual contact, Roy learned the whole story from Fat Hu. He was speechless looking at Alanya for a while. He didn't expect that when Alanya appeared in front of him again, she actually planned to be a "neighbor" with him again. , and it was so good that the place she chose to build her nest was actually in a gold mine. Roy didn't know what to say about this.
What a bad fate. The abyss world is so big, but the chance of encountering the same demon in two worlds is so low that even Roy can't calculate it, but it happened that he and Alaniya met.
However, Roy recognized Alanya. That was because although Alanya was promoted, the overall change was not big, but Alanya could not recognize Roy. Roy's appearance was not the same as before. The red-skinned little devil is completely different. Even if Alanya was deeply impressed by the little devil that suddenly grew devil wings on the lava river, she probably can't relate to Roy's current appearance anyway. Get up.
Roy stood up and walked towards Alanya. Alanya saw Roy's actions and quickly lowered her body to express her submission. She had already seen it. This one bit her and dragged her to the The Cerberus here is the servant of the frost demon in front of me. From this, this Frost Demon is more powerful than the Cerberus. Alanya thinks that she is no match, and she is a spider demon. Her clan The demon is cunning and insidious by nature, and will not act recklessly and recklessly like those demons who only know how to use their muscles, so when they see that the situation is not right, they immediately give in decisively.
Speaking of which, Alanya is actually quite frustrated. When she was in the shallow abyss world, although she was only a lower-level demon, she was still at the top. There were only a few demons who could defeat her. It can be said that she wanted to She could pick up any prey at her fingertips, and her life was very comfortable. But she didn't expect that after she finally completed her promotion and came to this middle-level abyss world, she would suddenly become the bottom of the food chain that anyone could bully.
Even she understood that this situation was the same for many demons, but after all, the psychological gap was huge, and it was difficult for her to adapt to this change all of a sudden.
However, being a demon is difficult, and no matter how hard it is to adapt, she must adapt. So when Roy came to her, she not only lowered her body, but also said flatteringly: "Sir, Alanya pays tribute to you! Forgive me for being clumsy. , I really can’t remember where I met you, but since you know me, please spare me this time for the sake of being an acquaintance!”
While speaking, Alaniya straightened her body and said bluntly: "If you need to vent, I will try my best to serve you!"
Roy's face turned dark when he heard these words, and he was so angry. Which of your eyes can see that I need to vent? ? Also, why are you so confident in your plush, black fur-covered upper body
"Shut up, say one more thing, and I'll tear you apart!" Roy was a little disgusted and simply shouted with a cold face.
Fat Tiger also cooed beside her very cooperatively, with three heads and six eyes staring at Alaniya's neck.
"Yes!" Alanya trembled. She saw Roy's displeasure and quickly lowered her head.
"When did you come to this abyss?" Roy asked her with a cold face.
"About...about two months ago!" Alanya answered honestly, completely losing her arrogance like she used to in the shallow abyss world.
Two months ago, when he had just come back, Roy looked at her and asked: "It's strange. When you became a demon, you were in the form of a spider demon. How come you were promoted to a mid-level demon and still like this?" What does it look like?”
"Sir, you may not know that the spider demon bloodline has always been a relatively strong bloodline in the abyss world..." Alanya replied: "If there is no more powerful bloodline coverage, then the demons born will usually be demons in the form of spider demons. , even when promoted, most of the ones awakened are from the spider demon bloodline, so the appearance of the demons of our family generally does not change much after they are born... "
"Is the spider demon bloodline very strong?" Roy touched his devil horn and asked, "So, your clan has a relatively pure bloodline, so it should be easier for you to be promoted to a high-level demon, right?"
"No, just the opposite!" Alanya said with a slight frustration: "Most spider demons may end up as middle-level demons throughout their lives, because although the spider demon bloodline is strong and easy to temper, the spider demon clan has long been in the middle class. Hunting souls is not a strong point, so in terms of increasing magic power, it is difficult to compete with other demons... "
After hearing this, Roy was a little curious, so he asked in detail, and finally understood what Alanya meant.
The reason is very simple, it’s because of the habits of the spider demons! As a spider demon, Alanya is very good at making traps with spider webs, but everyone knows that this wait-and-wait hunting method is fundamentally passive hunting. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch prey in the web. But when you are unlucky, you often wait for a long time without getting any results.
But unfortunately, demons like spider demons cannot use common elemental magic. Apart from spider web magic, the only magic they are good at is curse and poison magic. These spells have a shortcoming, that is, they tend to weaken, not that. A destructive magic that can cause large-scale damage, so it cannot obtain souls in large quantities.
In addition, the spider demon clan has one biggest shortcoming, that is, they are lazy! They can stay motionless on their webs for a month or two, willing to wait for the rabbit to hit the tree stump, but not willing to move further to hunt...
Therefore, the spider demons are relatively slow to acquire souls. When faced with the increasing demand for magic power, they feel that they cannot keep up with the large army. It is definitely a long and difficult road to advance to high-level demons.
Just like Roy, although he was cheated, his magic power was able to increase to the value of 5,000. Not only did he use the help of the essence of magic potion, but he probably also consumed more than 10,000 souls. In other words, For other demons, the soul consumption would be at least 70% to 80% more. If the spider demon clan wants to obtain so many souls, there is no better way than relying on time accumulation.
This is also the reason why demons such as Balrogs are more famous in the abyss world. It is because their magic power can cause huge damage. It is easier to harvest souls and it is also easier to be promoted. Compared with Balrogs, other races Demons are inferior to other demons in terms of the speed of acquiring souls.
Although Alanya looks like this, she is actually almost eighty years old. Her promotion to the middle-level devil is entirely based on the accumulation of little by little over the years...
As for why she appeared in Roy's gold mine, it was because she passed by here a few days ago and accidentally discovered the gold mine. However, she entered from the other side of the gold mine, so she was not discovered by Fat Tiger at that time. Spider demons are all good at curse spells, so she also noticed the power of the curse of misfortune contained in these gold mines. Alanya didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After all, for demons, gold and other things, except for the occasional demon Apart from making some decorations, it has no use at all, but after Alanya left, she suddenly thought about it and came back.
Just like Roy's original thoughts, Alanya also suddenly thought about whether she could make use of the gold.
In fact, as a spider demon, Alanya rarely responded to the call to go to other worlds, because he hunted souls in other worlds, which was not much different from the abyss world... However, after discovering the gold mine, Alanya planned to Use these gold mines as bait.
She didn't intend to take advantage of the curse of misfortune on it. This curse of misfortune was of no use to her. She just planned to place the gold on her spider web to make it easier for greedy humans to take the bait.
When Roy was talking to her, he found that Alanya's thinking was indeed very clear. She had even been secretly observing Roy, but she still seemed unable to recall who Roy was.
After chatting with Alanya for a while, Roy suddenly asked her: "Have you ever heard of the Devil's Bible?"
This question was so sudden that Alanya couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then she nodded and said, "I know a little bit!"
Roy actually just tried to ask, but he didn't expect Alanya to really know, so he quickly asked her to tell her.
"That is something mentioned in my memory inheritance. It is said that it is something in the deeper abyss world, and it is the content recorded on the seven sealing stone tablets!" Alaniya said: "It is said that the sealing stone tablets are left by the seven original sin demon kings. There are magical powers on the stone tablets... But this is just a legend, because it is too old and cannot be verified. Sir, why do you ask this? "
"It's nothing, I just heard such a legend accidentally, so I'm just asking!" Roy said calmly: "Speaking of which, you even know such things. Your memory inheritance seems to be very complete!"
Alanya puffed out her chest again and said proudly: "Because the memories of our spider demon clan all come from the Spider Goddess Rose! She is one of the existing demon kings in the abyss world and the greatest existence of the spider demon clan. !”
Roy was stunned when he heard this, and quickly said: "Wait! What did you say? Spider God Queen Rose? Are you sure you are not mistaken? Isn't that... isn't that the god of the dark elves? How can I hear you say it? , the Spider God Queen has also become a demon?"
"Queen Rose was originally a demon!" Regarding the pride of her clan, Alanya's voice became louder and said: "It's just that she used a special method to become a half-elf and half-demon body. , so now we can only stay in other worlds and cannot return to the abyss world. The legend of the dark elves is wrong. The predecessor of Queen Rose was a demon, not a dark elf!"
"Yeah?"
Roy didn't expect that he would hear such a thing from Alanya. In fact, Roy knew that there was such a spider goddess Rose. There was no way, she was too famous, but he always thought that it was just He is just a god of the dark elves, but he has never been connected with the spider demons of the abyss world.
It is difficult for the Spider Demon clan to be promoted. This is what Alanya said personally, but if Rose, the Spider Queen, really has a body similar to half-human and half-demon, it would make sense...
