The three-cornered rhinoceros walked slowly, Chen Rui and Athena had their own concerns, and neither made a sound, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

"Athena," Chen Rui's question broke the embarrassing atmosphere: "I am a human being, I know almost nothing about the Demon World, and I am now a member of Dark Moon City, and I really want to know about the Fallen Angel Empire. Can you tell me?"

It was a normal request, Athena explained without thinking.

There were originally seven royal families in the Demon Realm, but after countless battles and eliminations, there were finally three remaining royal families. They are the Lucifer royal family that controls the Fallen Angel Empire, the Mammon royal family that controls the Blood Fiend Empire, and the Asmodean royal family that controls the Shadow Empire. The three great empires of the Demon Realm have had their ups and downs with each other, and they have stood together for tens of thousands of years.

The barrier between the human world and the demon world will weaken every five hundred years, which is the beginning of the war between the two worlds. The White Night of the Fallen Angel Empire. Lucifer the Great is the most powerful man in the demon world, respected by all parties. In the war with mankind more than 300 years ago, he served as the commander of the allied forces of the demon race, and personally killed the three strong men of the human race. The hope of returning to the surface of the bright world. However, Emperor Bai Ye was suddenly attacked and killed by a mysterious strong man, causing the dragons to be leaderless, and the demon army was finally defeated and forced to retreat to the demon world.

After the death of Emperor Bai Ye, Crown Prince Green. Lucifer is too young to handle government affairs, and the two foreign enemies, the Blood Fiend Empire and the Shadow Empire, are staring at each other again, and the Fallen Angel Empire has internal and external troubles for a while.

At this time, Bai Ye's younger brother, Prince Hei Yao, Green's uncle, stepped forward to take charge of the government affairs temporarily, known as the Regent. Although Prince Obsidian's strength and military ability are far inferior to Emperor Baiye's, he has excellent political means. He used his brother's heroic sacrifice for the demons as an excuse, and took advantage of Baiye's surviving prestige in the demon world to sign mutually exclusive agreements with the Blood Fiend Empire and the Shadow Empire. violation of the agreement.

However, after Prince Obsidian solved the external crisis, he did not return the power to his nephew Green, but monopolized the power and ruled out dissidents, and he seemed to be replacing him. But because Prince Obsidian was not recognized by Lucifer's artifact "Sword of Fallen Angel", and Emperor Baiye had a high prestige in the army, two of the three generals of the empire supported Prince Green, so Prince Obsidian only He can continue to bear the name of the regent, but confiscated his nephew's sword of the fallen angel, and entrusted him to the desolate dark moon territory, and secretly sent people to monitor and control him.

The environment of the Dark Moon Territory is dangerous, the resources are poor, thieves are rampant, and there are many terrifying demon creatures in the territory, which cannot grow at all. Green died in this kind of adversity, leaving behind two daughters in his later years, the eldest princess Xia and the youngest princess Alice.

Shea was influenced by Green's idea of regaining the throne since she was a child, and she developed a cold and persevering character, calm in dealing with things, and decisive in methods. Unlike her relatively weak father, she faintly has the style of her grandfather Bai Ye. She took over Darkmoon City when she was only sixteen years old, and immediately used a series of methods to establish her prestige and manage Darkmoon City in an orderly manner.

But even if Shia is talented and ambitious, she will never be able to fundamentally change the harsh situation in the Dark Moon Territory. After Green's death, another imperial general fell to the Obsidian Regent, and only the first general, George, remained in the military forces supporting Dark Moon. Wells, Athena's father.

General George is currently guarding the Warlock Fortress on the northern border, at the junction with the Blood Fiend Empire. Three years ago, Athena came to Darkmoon City at the behest of her father, which was equivalent to showing to the outside world that General George continued to support the prince's lineage.

Over the years, Prince Obsidian has been researching the Sword of the Fallen Angel that originally belonged to Shia. Once he can unravel the mystery of the artifact and get the approval of the artifact, he will be able to become a real emperor. The opposition headed by the general can only express surrender.

"His Royal Highness Xi Ya is not easy, almost supporting the Dark Moon Territory with her own strength." Athena said with emotion: "His Royal Highness has strict requirements on her, and she has been under tremendous pressure all the time, gradually forming a ruthless Even Alice is afraid of her. But according to Alice, the Eldest Princess was actually very gentle when she was young... "

Only then did Chen Rui realize that the situation in Dark Moon City was so unfavorable, and he suddenly remembered that if the Regent Obsidian had figured out the Sword of the Fallen Angel and launched a war against Dark Moon, no one would be able to guarantee the safety of the poisonous dragon. Lord Pagliu is likely to become the spoils of the dragon slayer, and Chen Rui also followed suit. It seems that at least help the poisonous dragon unlock the lock of light and darkness first, and then find a safe place to settle down. It is not clear what the super system has at the moment, so it can only sacrifice Hue to borrow Athena's power.

While calculating, Chen Rui said, "I heard from Master Ardas that the royal family has a special blood talent. I don't know what the Lucifer royal family's talent is?"

Athena replied: "I have heard from my father that the higher the level of awakening of the royal family, the more and stronger talents they can use. The most powerful talent of the Lucifer family is the heart of light and darkness, which can swallow all power , even the power of light of human beings is no exception, and then there are black flames and holy light wings. Back then, Emperor Baiye relied on these three kinds of power to defeat the invincible opponents in the demon world, even if he is the strongest in the demon world today, the leader of the blood evil empire Emperor Lei Chan can only bow down willingly."

When Athena mentioned Emperor Baiye, her face was full of reverence. Chen Rui thought to himself that this chick is indeed the type who worships violence. If she really uses beauty tricks as Pagliu said, it may be difficult for her to suit her taste, so she tried again calmly: "Besides , Do you have any other talents, such as... mind reading?"

"Mind reading?" Unaware of him, Athena shook her head decisively: "Impossible, the Lucifer family only has three bloodline talents, which is well known in the devil world."

Chen Rui finally understood that the mind-reading technique Alice mentioned was a bluff. It turned out that the frogs were crawling on their feet and didn't bite people. It was a shock!

After much deliberation, he decided not to expose Alice, otherwise this loli would come up with some crazy idea at that time. As for the hole in the prehistoric, let's slowly find a way to fill it.

"Athena, my questions just now may offend the taboo of the royal family, please keep it a secret, especially don't tell the little princess."

"No problem! I will never say it!" After talking with Chen Rui for a while, Athena let go of her psychological burden a lot. When she heard this, she habitually slapped her chest. His eyeballs almost swayed.

The two continued to talk, and Chen Rui got a lot of useful information from Athena. The power levels of the demons can be divided into low-level demons, middle-level demons, high-level demons, demon kings, and great demon kings from low to high. , Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor, Demon Venerable.

Each level is equivalent to a watershed. Not only is there a huge difference in strength, but there is also a certain level of suppression. For example, it is difficult for a mid-level demon to exert the strongest combat power in front of a high-level demon.

Although there is no rank suppression between the same level, there are differences in strength. For example, a veteran high-level demon who has reached the peak strength can defeat at least ten high-level demons who have just advanced.

The Demon Lord is the highest state in the legends. It is said that the power can make the gods fear, but it has never been heard that there is a Demon Race who can become a Demon Lord. Three hundred years ago, Emperor Baiye was extremely talented and amazingly talented. He practiced to the peak of the Demon Emperor, and was only one step away from being promoted to Demon Lord. Unfortunately, he died in the war with humans.

Today, Emperor Lei Chan of the Blood Fiend Empire and Emperor Catherine of the Shadow Empire are both old-fashioned devil emperors, and there are many strong men under their command, but none of them can compare to the level of Emperor Bai Ye back then. Even the powerhouses at the same level, due to the relationship between talents and abilities, there is still a lot of gap in strength. The strongest man in the Fallen Angel Empire, Prince Obsidian, has reached the peak Demon Emperor, but he is the same as the other two. Compared with the Great Emperor who is the peak devil emperor, his strength is more than a notch inferior. Perhaps after obtaining the power of the artifact Fallen Angel Sword, he can truly compete with the other two countries in terms of strength.

Athena herself is a great demon, also known as the sickle demon. The sickle demon is a born powerful fighter who is good at using various weapons, not limited to the signature scythe. Athena is proficient in swordsmanship. At only nineteen years old, she is already at the peak level of middle-level demons, and she is only one line away from high-level demons. For the demons, she is an outstanding genius.

Not every demon can cultivate all the way to the peak. For example, the upper limit of the scythe demon is a high-level demon, and the little lemurs will linger in the low-level for life, unless some rare mutation occurs.

Chen Rui's performance in the face of the poisonous dragon made Athena look differently, and the communication with him became smoother. I felt that although this human being was not strong enough, his courage and wisdom were worthy of respect, and he was not the annoying type.

"Athena..." Alice's lazy voice interrupted their conversation.

"Alice!" Athena helped Alice up in surprise, "You're awake!"

"Where are we?" Alice wiped her hazy eyes, "It seems the picnic isn't over yet."

"It's over. You and Ji Ya were tired and fell asleep while listening to the story. I brought you on the triangular rhinoceros and are heading back to Darkmoon City."

Alice recalled it for a while, and it seemed to be the case. She stretched her waist and said to Chen Rui: "Your story is good. This princess ordered you to tell me one every day. And that barbecue..."

Chen Rui hurriedly said that he really couldn't think of one—this Snow White is pitiful enough today, and she can't bother with other characters anymore.

Athena also echoed: "Alice, that story is meaningless, let Chen Rui make that Kong Mingsuo again."

"Athena, you call him 'Chen Rui'? Didn't you always call him 'Human'?" Alice showed suspicion, "I remember you liked listening to stories, and you were very energetic when you started telling Snow White , why now..."

Little Lolita looked Chen Rui and Athena up and down for a while, her big eyes narrowed: "There is a problem, there must be a problem!"

Alice's sensitivity made Chen Rui shudder, and Athena was even more guilty. Little Lolita asked again: "Athena, where is your sword?"

Athena showed a look of regret, and lowered her head: "Earlier, I found a biped flying dragon flying by. I used a cross-whirlwind to scare the flying dragon away. As a result, the sword fell into Lanbo Lake. Also useless."

Although Athena did not tell the truth, her regret for the sword was definitely not a fake. Alice knew that she had the ultimate move of throwing a big sword, so she had no doubts. Two clear eyes fell on Chen Rui's face On: "I don't remember how I fell asleep, maybe I was poisoned?"

Chen Rui broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, and took a sip from the water bottle to hide the tension in his heart: If he hadn't had considerable confidence in the poisonous dragon's toxicity and strength, he would have suspected that Alice had been pretending to be asleep, this loli's reasoning Ability is terrible.

Alice's voice suddenly increased: "Chen Rui! You must be coveting the beauty of this princess, and you put medicine in the barbecue with bad intentions. But when Athena found out, you threatened the reputation of Lucifer's royal family, Forcing Athena to keep it secret is even submitting to your lust, isn't it?"

"Tch!" Chen Rui didn't have time to swallow a mouthful of water, and almost choked it out of his nose—the evaluation just now was wrong! This little loli's reasoning ability is not terrifying, but shocking!

Athena was also overwhelmed by Alice's powerful vision, but she was accustomed to this friend's personality, and she was relieved instead. Chen Rui finally stopped coughing, and was about to speak, when Alice looked sad, touched her lower abdomen, and said, "My God, will I be pregnant with a human child?"

It was too late for Chen Rui to criticize Alice's superficial acting skills, and he was so shocked by the lines that he vomited blood for three liters.

Athena had already carried Ji Ya, who hadn't woken up, and switched to the back of another triangular rhinoceros, pretending not to hear.

Here Alice is still thinking about herself: "When the child grows up, when he asks who the father is, how will he answer?"
