Chapter 129: Brothers at War

The sky had just turned dark.

Luo Yan, lying on the bed board, couldn't sleep no matter what, and didn't want to tell Demon King stories to a group of little demons, so he could only sink his spirit into the sea of consciousness, standing in front of the stone tablet in the sea of consciousness and reviewing the official website.

Judging from the discussions of the players on the forum, the Demon King's territory is all normal, and there is no mess because of his sudden departure.

However, considering that he had only left for less than 24 hours, it is still too early to praise them, and he still needs to observe.

"Speaking of which, Hearing You You, can the Demon God feel your existence?" Luo Yan couldn't help but ask curiously, as he hadn't heard Hearing You You speak much all day today.

Hearing You You's voice appeared after a long time.

"Can't feel it."

Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought gods could see each other."

Hearing You You thought for a while and said:

"Strictly speaking, gods live in their own worlds, and... Hearing You You is just your divinity. Even if the Demon God can perceive other beliefs on his territory, at most he will notice our existence."

Gods live in their own worlds.

This sentence is a bit intriguing, and Luo Yan couldn't help but ponder for a long time.

"But why can you feel the breath of chaos?"

Hearing You You said:

"Because chaos is special, just like a bottle of ink spilled into the ocean. For a person, the 'humanity' part may be difficult to perceive the existence of pollution, but 'divinity' is not difficult to perceive... as long as it is close enough."

"So that's it."

I always feel that what Hearing You You said today is more profound than usual, and Luo Yan couldn't help but think, did he underestimate it a little?

However, this matter is not the point.

Because of the Dragoon family's stupid son, his journey home has added new variables.

Just as he was thinking about which layer of the labyrinth to use to test the not-so-smart Minotaur, a post on the forum suddenly caught his attention.

Longxing·Wo Ganfanxing: "Heavy news! Brothers! A large Ogre tribe discovered on the fifth floor, combat power unknown, the number might be ten thousand!"

Pig-headed Knight: "Damn?!"

Minotaur Warrior: "Really?!"

Zhi Shi Xue Bao: "Wait, no, when did the dog coins of Longxing Tianxia start sharing strategies on the official website?"

Wan Bu Qi: "Could there be a fraud?"

Longxing·Wo Ganfanxing: "Damn! I shared it out of kindness, and you guys called us dog coins!"

Longxing·Killer: "That's right!"

Longxing·Pig Killer: "Too much!"

Roast Lamb Skewer: "Damn, I'm starting to doubt it too."

Hu Wan: "Speaking of which, is this borrowing a knife to kill someone or testing the waters?"

Ye Zhiqiu: "Count it as borrowing a knife to kill someone, there shouldn't be a saying of testing the waters in the Thirty-Six Stratagems."

"..."

Fifth floor? It's the group of mercenaries invited by the previous Demon King, are there really so many?

Luo Yan was slightly stunned, suddenly a plan came to his mind, and an evil smile appeared on his face.

Want to be a Demon King, right?

Good, good, good.

Clean up the mess left by your old man first!

The Dragoon family's manor, the man-eating flowers and killer vines on the obsidian outer wall, are as elegant and fashionable as ever today.

On the top floor of the tallest spire, a burly Minotaur stood in the family head's study, looking at his elder brother behind the desk, and said with a straight face and strong confidence:

"Brother, lend me some money."

Unlike Xinuo Dragoon.

Lord Kamu sitting behind the desk is more like a real noble, whether it is the calmness between his eyebrows or the elegance of flipping through books with two fingers.

Facing the request made by his brother, he didn't look up, just asked casually.

"How much?"

Xinuo, whose confidence was insufficient, had an embarrassed expression and said in a low voice:

"5 million Kaila should be enough."

He actually has pocket money.

It's just that like other Hell N-generations, most of his money is spent on his personal hobbies. For example, serving his strong and mighty warhorse, for example, eating and drinking, for example, acquiring some fancy weapons and suspected enchanted armor.

Hearing the number 5 million, Lord Kamu smiled faintly.

As expected of his stupid brother, he has no concept of money at all, so much so that even his dreams are so conservative.

"Not enough."

Xinuo thought he would hear the word "no lend," and was about to turn and leave, only to realize that what he heard was not that sentence after his foot was halfway up.

He was stunned first, and then subconsciously said:

"Then... how much is enough?"

Lord Kamu smiled slightly and said slowly:

"At least, it must be greater than the pocket money of the eldest daughter of the Padriqi family."

Xinuo's eyes widened.

"She has that much?!"

Because he was too shocked, he didn't even have the heart to think about how his old brother knew what he was borrowing this money for, and how he knew that the eldest daughter of the Padriqi family was suspected of being involved...

However, even if he doubted, Lord Kamu was too lazy to explain to him.

Some cows are destined to be put on nose rings and led by the nose.

Even if he was born in a famous family like Dragoon.

"Hard to say, what if others have saved for a long time? Nobles without territory actually have no chance to spend money, unless she has the hobby of collecting junk like you."

"What I collect is not junk, it's real magic tools!" Xinuo subconsciously retorted, then asked anxiously, "Then, then what to do? If the Padriqi family goes all out to support that fake king, wouldn't I have no chance of winning at all?"

"You started thinking with your brain now? So why not have a man-to-man duel with him in the arena, and why engage in troublesome siege battles? Noble glory... hehe, do you have your own territory?"

Lord Kamu mocked.

Xinuo bowed his head and couldn't speak.

He actually asked for the servant's opinion, and even copied those opinions on his hand, just because he was afraid he couldn't talk to Mi Ya.

However, he didn't expect to drop the chain at the last minute and accidentally lost the cheat sheet in his hand.

Looking at his brother standing in place, Lord Kamu shook his head as if hating iron for not becoming steel, and then continued in a gentle tone:

"All right, don't worry too much about the Padriqi family taking action. A future successor is not equal to a family head. Any family head with a normal brain will not spoil the future successor. What she can use is only her pocket money, don't expect to use family resources to handle her own affairs. But you are different, you are fighting for the glory of the Dragoon family, right?"

"That's for sure!" Xinuo Dragoon puffed out his chest and said without hesitation, "I am fighting to take back my father's hard work!"

"Very good, I actually also feel that father's hard work cannot be wasted in vain, even if it is just a piece of territory with no value, but it has so many years of historical foundation after all..."

Lord Kamu nodded approvingly, resolutely not mentioning the fact that he had voluntarily given up inheriting the Demon King's territory at the beginning.

After saying this, he reached into his arms, took out a silver pendant from his arms, placed it on the table, and pushed it gently in front of Xinuo.

"Since this is the case, I, the family head, cannot sit idly by, you take this thing."

Seeing the silver pendant, Xinuo asked curiously.

"This is?"

"The token of the 'Hellfire' Legion."

Lord Kamu smiled faintly and said:

"This is a heavy sword legion I recently trained. The warriors in the legion are all composed of demons, with a establishment of 500, and the lowest level is Bronze tier. The strength of the ten-man captains is all above refined steel, and the five hundred-man captains are not much weaker than you."

Hellfire!!!

Hearing this name, Xinuo couldn't help but hold his breath.

He had heard of this name.

That was not a miscellaneous army his brother recently formed, but a personal guard formed by his brother to gild himself on the front line several years ago! Seeing that his brother intended to hand over such an important thing to himself, Xinuo was also a bit excited and didn't know what to say for a while.

"This... is this really okay?"

"Really okay? Heh, you wouldn't think the other party would show mercy?"

Lord Kamu glanced at this idiot and said with a faint smile:

"If I give it to you, take it, remember not to lose the face of the Dragoon family."

When he said this, he paused for a moment and continued:

"As for the fortress for defense, I have also prepared it for you. It is in the Black Wind Valley Baron territory 100 kilometers away from the Demon Capital. The terrain there is dangerous and easy to defend and hard to attack. Currently, a mercenary group of 1,000 people is stationed there. You can go and take a look when you have time."

"Brother..." Xinuo's eyes were full of emotion, holding the silver pendant tightly in his palm, "You are so good to me."

"What kind of polite words are these?"

Lord Kamu laughed, got up from his seat, walked to Xinuo's side, and put his hand on the latter's shoulder.

"Don't forget I am your own brother."

Xinuo's face was filled with a bright smile, excited and flushed.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered one more thing, so he immediately said:

"By the way, brother, there is one more thing."

Lord Kamu: "What's the matter?"

"The eldest daughter of the Prince Prince Kelin family found me and said she wanted to help me..." Xinuo scratched his head and told his brother what happened after he proposed the duel.

"Prince Prince Kelin? The Prince Prince Kelin who occupies a seat in the Cabinet?" Lord Kamu had a surprised expression on his face, looking at his stupid brother in astonishment, "You guy are capable... actually got involved with the eldest daughter of the Prince Prince Kelin family."

Honestly, he looked at him with admiration.

However, this ungrateful guy shook his head and muttered:

"I don't like that person, I feel she is using me."

Lord Kamu chuckled.

"Being used by others is not a bad thing. Most people in this world don't even have the qualification to be used... Let me advise you, what does she want to get from you?"

Xinuo answered truthfully.

"She wants Luo Yan to die... but this is not in our interest, right? We have to get the labyrinth core, he can't die. And the eldest daughter of the Padriqi family warned me that if Luo Yan dies, she will make me look good. I am not afraid of her, but there is no need to offend her, right?"

Lord Kamu's face once again showed a surprised expression, not expecting his stupid brother to use his brain.

Although looking at the problem is still very superficial, and he can't grasp the real point.

Another thing that surprised him was that the pretty boy was a bit too heaven-defying, not only hooking up with the young lady of the Padriqi family, but also provoking people from the Prince Prince Kelin family. That is the vampire with the smallest eyes.

Not as easy to deal with as a succubus.

"It seems that having too good peach blossom luck is not always a good thing... hehe."

Shaking his head with a smile, Lord Kamu, who clearly misunderstood something, pondered for a long time, and then spoke:

"Actually, the labyrinth core is not that important to us."

Xinuo was stunned.

"But—"

"The old core has already shattered, and the new core has only been placed for two months. You are nothing more than losing two months of time, but you can get the favor of the future successor of a huge family."

Lord Kamu put his hand on Xinuo's shoulder, looked at the silent latter, and patted his broad shoulder with a smile.

"My dear brother, you have too much to learn. You have to learn to trade, exchange non-core interests for core interests, you have to learn to be used by others, but not let yourself become a knife in someone else's hand. These are compulsory courses for nobles. Originally, you should think about them yourself, but since I am your own brother, I will teach you one trick."

Saying that, he pulled Xinuo to the side and whispered:

"Doesn't she want to kill him?"

"Don't be stupid and do it yourself, just create an opportunity for her."

On the other side, in the wilderness in the suburbs of the Demon Capital, a ghost horse pulling a pitch-black carriage stopped beside the road paved with granite bricks.

A boy of about twelve years old stood beside the tall ghost horse, stretching his neck and looking around, as if waiting for someone.

His appearance was clear and beautiful, his skin was pale and delicate, and his face carried a bit of childish roundness. That deep purple short hair was soft and curly, just over his eyebrows, and a pair of purple-to-black eyes were always squinting as if sleepy, looking like a docile sheep from a distance.

A small black cloak was draped over his shoulders, a silver button was printed on the collar, and the neck of the white shirt collar revealed was as white as paper, as slender as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Although this is the Demon Capital with the best security in all of Hell, even Goblins are law-abiding and polite, it is not very common for such a child to stand here alone.

Demons passing by on the street occasionally cast gazes at him, some curious, some ill-intentioned, but no one dared to approach.

Only because the aura emitted by that ghost horse was really unusual, just like thousands of corpses galloping on the battlefield! However, interestingly.

Such a bloodthirsty beast was as docile as a cat to the boy beside it.

Pacing back and forth beside the ghost horse, the boy looked at the brass pocket watch in his hand frequently, and a trace of worry gradually rose between his eyebrows.

Not back yet...

Just when he was worried if something bad had happened, a loud bat cry crossed the sky.

Seeing the group of bats appearing above his head, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally let go.

Countless bats fell to the ground, transforming into a girl of about sixteen or seventeen, wearing a pitch-black western dress.

Vivian Prince Prince Kelin.

Looking at the sister who returned safely, Watching Nan Fu Prince Prince Kelin breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Sister, you are finally back."

Vivian Prince Prince Kelin didn't say a word, her face was as gloomy as the tombstone in the back garden of the old house at home, just reached out to pull open the carriage door, lifted her skirt and sat on it.

Feeling the bone-chilling cold, Watching Nan Fu couldn't help but shiver, didn't dare to say anything more, and obediently followed behind his sister and got on the carriage.

The carriage door closed.

The pitch-black carriage rose into the air and merged into the night of the Demon Capital.

Looking at Vivian who closed her eyes and didn't say a word, Watching Nan Fu, with his back close to the chair, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling that his sister's mood had improved a little, so he asked tentatively in a low voice:

"Did Dad... really cheat?"

He still couldn't believe it.

That father who always put mother first, and would gentlemanly ask mother's opinion on everything... would actually raise a lover outside!? There must be some misunderstanding here! It's not just him who thinks so.

Until a few dozen minutes ago, his sister Vivian also thought so. However, all beautiful fantasies vanished the moment she heard that man's pouring out and confession to the priest...

Once upon a time, in her eyes, her parents were the best parents in the underworld, impeccable model couples, and the objects of envy for everyone—including herself.

She had thought more than once in her dreams that her future husband should also be such a considerate, gentle, and decent gentleman—at least half as good as her respected father.

However, now, recalling those dreams, she just wanted to vomit, and even on the way back, she had already vomited once.

Why? Why did that guy have to hide it from everyone!

Is mother not good enough to him?!

It wasn't just an affair, he even had a child outside, with another woman! If she hadn't discovered that father was a bit exaggeratedly poor, and curious about what that man spent his money on, so she took her brother and quietly followed behind him... I'm afraid until now, their whole family would still be kept in the dark! Living in a happy swaddle for sixteen years, she felt like a joke, and all beautiful memories turned into the ugliest scars at this moment.

Vivian gritted her teeth, water mist squeezed out of her eye sockets, but it was quickly held back by her gritting her teeth.

Facing her brother's timid gaze, she said in a hoarse voice:

"... Worse than cheating."

Watching Nan Fu fell into silence.

The silence lasted for a long time before he asked in a low voice:

"... Are there two objects?"

Feeling the murderous gaze shooting over, Watching Nan Fu immediately closed his mouth, and even covered it with both hands.

Looking at the frightened brother, Vivian took a deep breath, trying not to vent her emotions on him, who was also a man, and told what happened before.

Including the conversation between father and the priest.

Including that man's hurried glance at his own flesh and blood.

As for the duel and her subsequent secret talk with the Dragoon family's son, Vivian chose to conceal it.

Because it was not important, and there was no need for him to know.

She would handle this matter herself.

After listening to her sister's statement, Watching Nan Fu was silent for a long time, and his face also carried an expression of inability to accept.

The fist on his lap clenched and loosened, then clenched again, repeating this action constantly, just like his struggling heart.

"I don't understand... why did he lie to us, and lied to us for more than ten years! Since he has someone he can't let go of, since he loves to the point of being unable to extricate himself, shamelessly saying those mushy words, then go marry her! Why involve mother... and... us..."

Vivian gritted her teeth, her clenched fist squeezed white, as if all the hatred was vented on the tightly clasped nails.

She hated it! Hated that liar full of lies!

Hated the person who destroyed all the beautiful fantasies she had about everything in this world! Watching Nan Fu hesitated for a while, reached out and held his sister's fist on her lap, and asked in a serious voice:

"Sister... after going back, do you plan to tell Mom?"

He felt this was not good.

Of course, this is not to say that his mother should be kept in the dark, but he hoped to give his father a chance... to explain the situation to her himself.

That is their business.

As children, they shouldn't get involved.

Vivian took a deep breath of the cold night wind, let the restless emotions in her heart cool down, and then said in a voice without a trace of emotion:

"Not for now..."

She knew what her brother was thinking, what he could think of, she could also think of... and understood far faster than him.

Whether it was strength or mind, she was far more mature than this little brat. This is not only her arrogance, but also the common evaluation of everyone around them.

Her mother always said that she was like her grandfather Caesar Prince Prince Kelin, not only gifted, but also had enough courage and boldness, and would definitely become as great a vampire prince as her grandfather in the future, and even the right-hand man of His Majesty Bayeli.

Vivian had no doubt that that was her future.

The Prince Prince Kelin family always gives birth to a strong family head, followed by a cowardly straw bag, but soon the next generation is a hero among vampires.

It's just that she didn't expect that the first big thing she had to do in her life was to wipe the ass of that cowardly father...

Looking at the calmed-down Vivian, Watching Nan Fu breathed a sigh of relief, but facing that cold gaze, he couldn't help but raise his heart to his throat again.

"Are you trying to..."

Vivian looked at him expressionlessly.

"So what?"

Watching Nan Fu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said tremblingly:

"Sister, is this really good?"

"What's good or not, I don't understand what you're talking about." Vivian's tone was as cold as ever, which made Watching Nan Fu more and more certain of his guess.

She is serious! "B-but, he is our brother after all—"

"Shut up! When did I say I needed an inexplicable brother?!" Vivian roared this sentence with an almost roaring voice, just like an angry lioness.

Looking at the terrifying fangs exposed on her lips, Watching Nan Fu was so frightened that he immediately closed his mouth, trembling and not daring to speak.

Perhaps as grandfather said, he is more like his father, becoming hesitant at critical moments.

It is precisely because of this that when he learned that he had a reliable big brother, his heart was actually not all dissatisfaction with his father's irresponsibility and heartache for his mother, but actually a little selfish joy...

In short, all this is not the fault of his big brother he had never met, and that person is also a victim...

The one who should be condemned is the old man who hid it from everyone.

However, looking at his sister's eyes, he knew that she had made up her mind, and nothing he said would be of any use.

"Then, can you tell me... who is he?"

Vivian's eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously, and she leaned in front of him.

"My dear brother... do you know the fate of a snitch?"

Watching Nan Fu moved his butt backward in fear, his back stuck tightly to the chair.

"I... I didn't mean that..."

Seeing the annoying shadow on him, Vivian clicked her tongue, sat back in her seat, and closed her eyes to rest.

"You better not."

She has to adjust her emotions.

Don't let father see any flaws in a while.

The pitch-black carriage drove toward the ancient castle in the graveyard, and crow cries sounded on the decaying and luxurious old gate tower.

At the same time, the news that the second son of the Dragoon family initiated a duel with the Demon King of the Necropolis spread almost throughout the circle of nobles in the Demon Capital under the promotion of interested people.

A duel between two people actually involved three families... This is destined to be an unusual contest.

It has been a long, long time since such an interesting thing happened in the Demon Capital, and pairs of curious gazes focused on the two parties involved.

There were even busybodies opening a market to sit as the dealer.

What's more exaggerated is that the two parties involved haven't reached the arena yet, and the odds of winning or losing have already come out.

Judging from the odds alone, it is clear that the Dragoon family's youngest son has a higher chance of winning.

This night was exceptionally long.

I catch a cold every season change, I've caught it to the point of experience =. = (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 130 =====
