Chapter 150 Demon Emperor

Chapter 150 Demon Emperor

A few minutes later, another waiter dressed in formal attire came over, confirmed the Yue man's identity with the receptionist, and then respectfully stepped forward to bow.

"Sir, would you and your companion be willing to come with me to the VIP room for a chat? We would like to discuss the matter of that item with you."

The waiter's voice wasn't loud, but the surrounding adventurers could all hear it. Such a rare scene unconsciously drew everyone's attention.

The once bustling adventurers' guild fell silent for a moment.

That direction leads to the pawnshop area. Did someone bring out some amazing treasure?

For adventurers stationed here, this phenomenon is not uncommon, but it is certainly not frequent either. It might happen once every few years or perhaps once every ten years. Some people who have obtained treasures come here to pawn them, and when the guild members discover their true value, such a scene often means an instant of wealth.

Isn't this the "DeadEnd" that we just arrived at yesterday? I heard it's a place with "watchdogs" and "rabies."

It's quite powerful. Is this something you gained from exploring the maze?

Tch, what a lucky guy!

Some are curious, some are envious, and some have ill intentions, but that's just the way it is; they're simply focusing their attention now.

Rudius:

"

Dude, what's going on? What did you pull out?

Yue Ren was slightly surprised by the other party's somewhat ingratiating attitude. It seemed that some of the little schemes above had been discovered.

It seems this adventurers' guild is not to be underestimated. He originally thought they would at most think it was a high-quality sword.

But this is better, because he won't have to waste too much breath and should be able to earn more money.

"Let's go then."

"Okay, please follow me."

Yue Ren turned his head and gestured for Rudius to follow.

Half an hour later, Rudeus walked out of the Adventurers' Guild with a check in hand and Yue Ren.

The former looked somewhat dazed, staring blankly at the check in his hand, as if he were still in a dream.

There's no way around it; the content above is rather fantastical.

"Asura Gold Coins: 50"

That's equivalent to 5000 green ore coins.

This was the final price agreed upon by both parties in that VIP room, and it was also the price of the check in his hand. With this check, they could exchange it for the corresponding currency at any adventurer's guild across the continent.

Without a doubt, this is a huge sum of money.

The reason he was able to get this money was because his older brother had pawned a seemingly luxurious and valuable weapon!

Thinking of this, he carefully put away the check that the Yue man had given him for safekeeping, and then looked at the Yue man with some hesitation.

"What's wrong? Everything's been resolved, so why the long face?"

Feeling the gaze directed at him, Yue Ren was puzzled.

Faced with the Yue people's question, Rudius hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind.

"Brother, that weapon must be very valuable! Don't worry, I'll help you redeem it when I have the chance."

"Why did we redeem it? Although it did use quite a bit of our accumulated materials."

"That sword, isn't it one of your prized weapons or something?"

"Of course not. I was worried yesterday that we wouldn't have enough gold dust, so I spent some time forging it using materials we collected along the way. I certainly think the quality is pretty good, but it's just for exchanging for money. Don't misunderstand!"

"what?"

Rudius was stunned.

"You mean, you spent a whole day forging such a precious sword?"

He heard it clearly in the VIP room: the appraiser said that the sword was undoubtedly of the highest quality and could be called a holy sword. The effects had also been demonstrated; it could not only cut through iron like mud, but also unleash a fire strike by infusing it with magic.

A self-defense weapon designed for magicians; it's incredibly powerful.

He thought it was some kind of family heirloom belonging to the Yue people, but now they're telling him he forged it himself? And in just one day? Is such a thing really possible?

Faced with Rudius's incomprehensible expression, Yue Ren had no choice but to offer a brief explanation.

"The world I took you to before is essentially the same as my forging workshop. Time was indeed a bit tight, and the materials weren't very good, so this is the best I could do."

"Does that mean, given enough time and better materials, you can forge a weapon even stronger than that sword anytime, anywhere?"

"Yes."

Rudius was completely convinced. So the real money-making tycoon was right here. Was all their previous careful calculation really necessary?

Thinking of this, he suddenly shook his head.

No, we can't think like that. It's fortunate that Brother Yue was with them. Otherwise, if it were just the three of them, they would be trapped in this situation and would eventually have to resort to something like smuggling themselves out.

We must be grateful.

So it turns out that Brother Yue's ability to forge is true? Tch, I didn't pay attention when he said that last time, and it just faded away. Now that I think about it, I feel like I missed out on a fortune.

Ah... the Holy Sword? I really want one too...

It wasn't that he was greedy for anything, but rather that since he had already transmigrated to another world, something that was very meaningful and tied to the "protagonist" was quite appealing.

However, according to Brother Yue, materials are crucial for forging high-level equipment, so let's find the right materials first...

With the ticket issue resolved, there wasn't much else to do. However, remembering yesterday's dream, Rudius still asked Brother Yue to accompany him on the trip.

I still can't trust that guy. Alice has Rijrud by her side, and although I don't think I'll encounter any danger, I'll still ask Brother Yue to accompany her for a while, just to be on the safe side.

He wouldn't call it dependence, but as long as Brother Yue Ren was by his side, things wouldn't go in the worst possible direction. This was a truth he had realized through their long-term relationship.

So, holding the food they bought from the stall in their hands, Yue Ren and Rudius wandered into the alley.

All the food at hand was skewers.

There were scallop skewers resembling dried scallops, whole grilled fish resembling horse mackerel, and several other seafood skewers of unknown origin.

Although the god told him to go to the stall to buy food, he didn't specify the type, so he prioritized buying things that were easy to carry.

He was initially worried that Brother Yue would ask some questions, but to his surprise, Yue only paused slightly after hearing the request for him to accompany him to a place, and then agreed with his usual smile.

Without asking any questions, her eyes were full of trust in him (what she thought was trust).

As expected of Brother Yue, he never disappoints in making people feel at ease.

The alley was quiet, seemingly a perfect place for doing bad things like kidnapping.

In this world, human kidnapping is one of the most common and lucrative crimes, even forming a kind of industry chain. As long as the employer places an order for a certain type of slave, a specialized team will go to the corresponding place to burn, kill, rob, and plunder people.

However, if someone tries to harm him, he will likely cripple their hands and feet, force them to reveal their hideout, plunder all their valuables, and then hand them over to the authorities.

If they are strong enough, they also have Mr. Ruijie Lude and Brother Yue Ren behind them, so there is nothing to worry about.

After wandering aimlessly through several alleys, while Rudius was still pondering, a black, unidentified object appeared on the side of the street ahead, constantly groaning and writhing.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

'

Enduring the unpleasant smell, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the black, unidentified object surrounded by flies was actually a person? Or perhaps a demon?

A moment later, it was discovered that she was a young girl wearing a revealing black leather outfit.

Leather camisole, leather hot pants, and knee-high boots.

Her skin was pale, and her collarbone, waist, navel, and thighs were all exposed.

The most striking feature was her fluffy purple curly hair and goat-like horns.

Looking at the figure whose faint, weak cry of "Hungry" could be heard, Rudeus's lips twitched.

Could it be her?

Ten minutes later—

"Mmm... Mmm! Delicious! Food that's been sitting out for a year tastes so good!"

The young girl regained her strength and leaped off the ground using only her back muscles, doing a somersault before standing up.

I never expected her physical abilities to be so outstanding. She's not some giant isopod...

Looking at the girl in front of him who exuded a strong aura, Yue Ren nodded slightly. Sure enough, he had a sense of déjà vu from Rudeus's actions just now. He felt that this scene must have happened before, so it was a turning point that he remembered. He did remember this part as he walked along. This girl was the Demon Emperor named Chisilica.

"Ah, you guys have been a huge help! A huge help indeed! Now we can probably hold out for another year!"

The young girl, who was actually a demon king, finally made eye contact with Rudeus.

The latter noticed that she had heterochromia, with one eye being purple and the other edge purple. Was she trying to cosplay something? No, there are no color-changing corneal lenses in this world; she was probably born with this color.

"Oh?"

The young girl's right eye suddenly spun around, and her pupil instantly turned blue, just like the images flipping on a pinball machine screen. How... disgusting!

"Ugh! Ugh! What's wrong with you? This is disgusting! What is this? What is this? Hahaha! This is the first time I've ever encountered something like this!"

Upon seeing Rudius's face, the young girl excitedly uttered these words.

Rudius was deeply hurt; it had been a long time since anyone had openly criticized him for being disgusting.

However, he also felt that the other party was disgusting, so he decided to call it even this time.

"Is that so? They were twins in the womb, but one died at birth, right?"

...What? What is she saying?

"No, I don't think that's true."

"Yeah?"

"Um."

"Never mind then, but your magical power... is higher than Laplace's."

What is taller than any person?

Rudius didn't quite understand what she meant.

The Yue man standing to the side seemed to be deep in thought.

Laplace, is it the demon god Laplace? It's not surprising that Rudeus possesses even stronger magical power than him; I remember it's because he has the Laplace factor and has trained since childhood.

Is that the Demon Emperor, Chisilica? Her methods are indeed unique; those in her eye sockets are her demonic eyes... She's truly all-powerful.

Then, the girl's gaze fell on Yue Ren.

"Oh, you're quite good! Such a dazzling flame! You have the potential to become a hero, young man. I have high hopes for you, hmm..."

'

Ah, I must say, he truly lives up to his reputation as the eldest brother of the Yue people.

Although I don't know what the other party's evaluation criteria were, being by Brother Yue's side is really as comfortable as basking in the sun on a sunny day.

Hearing the girl praise his elder brother, Rudeus felt a surge of pride.

But why did she evaluate herself that way? In the end, Rudius felt that perhaps she was a rather problematic girl.

"Alright, you two, state your names!"

'

My name is Rudius Greirat.

"Very well, I am Chisilica Chisilis, also known as the Demon Emperor!"

She used her hands to support her waist and leaned her upper body back, causing her hips to thrust forward.

I see. Rudeus has heard of the name of the Demon Emperor, Chisilica Chisilis.

She was an immortal demon emperor who led the demon race in the war between humans and demons, but was defeated in no time.

Is this the real Demon Emperor? He came here on the advice of the gods and men. This girl could indeed be the real Demon Emperor. But would the real Demon Emperor collapse on the roadside in a remote town on the edge of the Demon Continent because of hunger?

...No, no, no, that's just too far-fetched.

By the way, I remember that kids in the Demon Continent often played a game like this, pretending to be great people from the past.

The most popular character is the demon Laplace.

Despite his defeat in the war, he pacified the Demon Continent, granted the Demon race a certain level of status, and brought peace. Therefore, he is known as the most remarkable figure in the history of the Demon race.

This girl must be a huge fan of the Demon Emperor, but she has no friends who want to play with her, which is why she's alone in the alley.

Rudius felt that this reasoning was quite reasonable.

Yeah, being alone must be so lonely. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to play along.

"Oh...oh dear! How offensive, Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Highness, Demon Emperor!"

Rudius exaggeratedly adopted a respectful attitude, kneeling on one knee as if he were a subject bowing.

To his surprise, the Yue man next to him also bowed slightly. Could his brother actually understand his thoughts? I love it!

"Oh? Oh wow! Very good, very good! This is exactly the reaction I've been waiting for! These days, young people have absolutely no manners!"

Chishilica seemed quite pleased and nodded repeatedly.

Yeah, you definitely want someone to play with you.

"I had no idea that you had been resurrected, which is why I was so rude. Please forgive me."

"It's alright! You saved my life, so you may make any wish you desire."

They said they saved her life, but they just saw she was hungry and gave her food.

However, since the other party had said that, Rudius decided to continue playing along with her.
