The demon Miao Lan suppressed his emotions and was walking in the forbidden forest.
If you hadn't seen her dark red eyes, you would never have imagined that such a weak woman could be a high-level demon.
Of course, the dark black cloak obscured her, making it difficult to see her face clearly even if she passed her on the road.
Once upon a time, she was a witch who lived in a human city.
Witches, a kind of human girls with their own magical powers, are actually regarded as evil existences, although they themselves have no such idea.
But this did not stop the fellow villagers and the Litian Church from persecuting them. Many witches were tied to the stake and burned to death.
Miao Lan is also one of them, and he is very obsessed with the innate magic power, so naturally he will not be spared.
Miao Lan has also been persecuted by humans. Although they may not be malicious, people who are blinded by hatred and public opinion are the easiest to gain a sense of security and pleasure by hurting others.
Fortunately, she later escaped from the clutches of humans, but fell into another pit of fire.
Originally, she escaped to the inaccessible forbidden forest. She carefully avoided contact with people and demons. She deliberately kept a safe distance and just lived quietly in the forest.
However, those days finally came to an end. Miao Lan lived for 251 years, but even if he used magic to extend his natural life span, there was still a limit.
Seeing that he was not far from death, Miao Lan regretted a little.
Now she has no way of understanding the true essence of magic, and no one has inherited her knowledge.
Miao Lan asked herself, what is the meaning of coming to this world
In fact, it is like this. No matter how long they live, when they are dying, they still feel that they have not lived long enough.
Human desires are often human weaknesses.
At this time, Demon King Rayman appeared in front of her. He was the new Demon King, not the strongest, but the most cunning.
At first, he negotiated with well-known demons and monsters, and quickly used various means to expand his troops through coercion and inducement, gradually occupying a large part of the forest.
Appearing in front of Miao Lan was also to make her his subordinate.
"I grant you eternal years and an immortal youthful body. In return, you must swear allegiance to me."
The Demon King Rayman is eager to obtain Myolan's magic and knowledge, so he comes to make a deal with her.
Sadly, Miao Lan agreed.
People often pay for their own greed. Now Miao Lan discovered that this decision was actually a failure.
She has returned to her youth, and time has stopped.
However, freedom eludes her.
This is not an exchange of equal value, but an unequal treaty.
For Demon King Lehman, it is easier than breaking a baby's wrist to kidnap Miao Lan, who has magical knowledge and power but does not know the dangers of the world.
As soon as he swore allegiance to Lehman, Miao Lan's heart was engraved with a curse mark - "the dominated heart".
Demon King Lehman cast a secret technique on Miao Lan, which combines a high-level magic medium with the magic power of the target object. This secret technique will turn the recipient into a demon.
In the end, the secret technique was successful, and Miao Lan lost his human identity and was reborn as a demon. At the same time, he became a "puppet" who could not disobey Lehman.
Miao Lan's magic power is very high and he becomes a very powerful demon.
However, she was not happy about losing her freedom at all.
From that day on, she became a puppet manipulated by the Demon King Rayman.
Myolan has been waiting for the opportunity to come, trying to lift the curse mark on his body, and even planned to attack the Demon King Clayman.
However, the knowledge she possesses tells her that this method is not feasible. Once the "dominated heart" is cracked, she will become a human again.
In that case, the stopped years will flow again, and her lifespan will return to zero in one breath.
Besides, there is another reason.
The gap in strength between Miao Lan and the Demon Lord Reiman was so great that it made her feel discouraged and unable to act rashly.
So she no longer even had the will to rebel, and continued to be at the mercy of Demon King Rayman.
But on the other hand, she still harbors dreams, hoping to one day escape from this annoying curse...
And this time—
Demon King Rayman wants her to collect information.
"I consider myself not good at fighting..." When he heard Lehman's call for the first time, Miao Lan instinctively rejected all kinds of damn tasks.
"That's right. Although you are already a high-level demon, you are not suitable for fighting. So this is the mission this time. I want you to monitor a group of monsters in the forest and record all their information. No direct contact is required, so If so, even you can do it, right?"
Miao Lan thought that he wanted to increase his combat power and wanted to serve as a lobbyist himself, but the result was completely unexpected.
Demon King Lehman had a calm smile on his face and gave orders to Myolan.
I don't know if there is such a concept as a partner in his opinion. These people who are now called subordinates can only be regarded as props at best, and it doesn't matter if they are used badly.
Moreover, Lehman is very ruthless. If he wants to survive, he has no choice but to complete the tasks assigned by him.
Lehman must have made up his mind about this matter.
So no matter what Miao Lan said, it would not change the outcome in the end, but would only cause Lehman's displeasure.
"I see."
Myulan suppressed his boredom and obeyed Clayman's order.
She had only one choice, which was to nod in agreement.
I’m really not frank—Miao Lan whispered to himself.
She seemed to be immersed in sentimentality as she remembered her former free self.
Miao Lan decided to change her mood, and in order to complete the assigned task, she cast the illusion magic "Magic Sense" on the surroundings.
This magic can detect the flow of magic elements, and when used together with the additional skill "Magic Sense", the range of information reading can be even greater.
Miao Lan's ability to live for hundreds of years was not due to luck, but to the fact that he had strong strength to back him up.
Direct face-to-face combat is indeed not her specialty, but this does not mean she is incompetent.
She was a mage among the witch species before, and she could use more than three systems of magic with ease.
Demon King Rayman knew her characteristics well, so he appointed her and assigned her tasks.
(Let’s see the reaction…)
As soon as the magic was activated, a considerable amount of information flowed over at the same time like an invisible stream.
She investigates every short period of time, and this time she senses a demon with a large amount of magic in him.
It seemed that she was close to the area controlled by the person she wanted to monitor. Miao Lan tensed up her nerves. She was a little nervous and wanted to avoid exposing herself.
There seemed to be some scattered magic induction in the woods, as if they were hidden scouts doing secret defense work.
Miao Lan found a hidden place and hid.
Then, her consciousness was concentrated to the highest point, and her sight was focused on the target -
Start monitoring…
