Chapter 285 Goodnight in the Demon King’s Castle

“Where did you catch the young golden dragon?”

The vampire princess Stella looked at what was shown in the magic mirror in front of her, which showed a young golden dragon fighting with the endless stream of skeleton guards. She couldn’t help but look back at the black-haired man sitting on the throne.

“…”

The Demon King remained silent, staring at the magic mirror in front of him that could patrol every corner of the cemetery. He looked at the young dragon fighting in it and wondered why this dragon appeared in his Demon King’s city.

Yes, although he caught this young dragon with his own hands, the Demon King couldn’t figure out what the intention of his uncle who asked him to do so was.

Although the great uncle had told him that the main purpose of looking for him was to correct Uncle Long’s obsession with law, he found such a reason hard to convince.

It’s just Francophilia. Whether it can be considered a disease or not, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to have this disease is still up for discussion.

Even if he really wanted to correct it, there were many places he could choose. Why did he choose his Dead City? Was it just because the Land of the Dead was more suitable? Could it provide a greater sense of crisis? Could it stimulate this Uncle Long to unleash more potential and suppress this bad habit?

Wayne didn’t quite believe the reasons given by his great uncle. Perhaps the reasons were true, and there were indeed these considerations, but the Demon King believed that the ancestor golden dragon, known as the Holy Dragon, had other deeper considerations and was only telling part of the truth.

This is the most cunning thing about the Metal Dragon Clan. They will certainly not deceive people, but telling only part of the truth is sometimes more deadly than making up lies. Even if you use prophecy spells to investigate, you will not be able to find any problems.

“Your Majesty, please tell me something. Could this young dragon be the offspring of that holy dragon?”

Seeing the silent demon king, Stella felt terrified.

The question she asked was actually unnecessary. With such a special golden dragon in shape, it would be difficult to find a third similar one even if one searched the entire world, even if one went to other planes. If it wasn’t the offspring of that dragon, whose offspring could it be?

“This is indeed the son of the Holy Dragon. What do you think is wrong?”

Although he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, the Demon King had no choice but to accept this commission which was full of doubts. He looked coldly at the vampire princess in front of him who dared to question him.

His helplessness and compulsion came from facing his great-grandfather, Uncle Long, who could crush him both in name and status, not the princess who could only enjoy herself under his crotch now.

“Your Majesty, calm down. How could I question your wisdom?!”

Feeling the overwhelming, surging demonic power, the princess who already stood at the top of the blood clan lineage prostrated herself on the ground.

Even though she was the one who personally helped the Demon King ascend to his current position step by step, that was in the past. Having lived through thousands of years, she knew that she could occupy a high position and hold power with this merit.

But if she really thought she could act recklessly in front of the devil with this, then she would be close to death. She had seen too many similar things.

Therefore, she knows how to control her identity and status very well. If something goes wrong, she will immediately surrender. Under the cruel and tyrannical appearance of this demon king, there is also a kind and compassionate side that is not shown to too many people.

“You’re scared, aren’t you?”

Wayne stood up and looked down at the princess who was crawling on the ground, revealing her graceful body curves. There was no warmth in his eyes, only indifference and coldness.
“I’m afraid that the golden dragon will take off my head just like it took off the head of the Immortal King, and then you will lose all your power and status overnight.”

“I……”

Stella’s body was trembling, and she didn’t dare to say a word. Of course, she could say that she was not afraid, but not to mention that the demon king in front of her didn’t believe it, she herself didn’t believe it.

As for the consequences of lying in front of this devil, many colleagues have already verified it for her.

To be honest, the Holy Dragon that beheaded the Immortal King is indeed the mortal enemy of the Undead Kingdom. However, it is precisely because the Immortal King was defeated that the second generation Undead King was able to ascend to the throne.

In the eyes of the vampire princess, the demon king before her only needs to be hostile to the Holy Dragon in name only. Why should she really provoke the Holy Dragon?
Ordinary countries could explain such actions as boosting morale, but what kind of morale is needed for the undead to fight? Forcibly kidnapping the son of the Holy Dragon is a hundred harms and no benefit no matter how you look at it. She really can’t understand why the Demon King would do such a thing.

“Since you are so afraid of the Holy Dragon, then you will take care of his offspring.”

“I’ll take care of it?”

Stella raised her head suddenly, looking stunned.

“That’s right. You will take care of the dragon’s food and daily life. You can neither let him live comfortably nor let him have any problems.”

Wayne threw all the requests made by his great uncle to the princess and asked her to execute them. He couldn’t resist his ancestor, but could he not exploit this vampire toy?
“His Majesty!”

“What? You still want to disobey my orders?”

“Don’t dare!”

Watching the enchanting figure with a bitter look on her back leaving, the Demon King fell into deep thought.

The reason why he felt that his great uncle had other purposes in sending his own son here was because he had successfully gained huge benefits from the Immortal King over the past thirty years. Because he had a guilty conscience, he felt that everything was wrong.

“I haven’t told anyone about this, so how did my uncle know about it?”

The young man sitting on the throne of the devil raised his hand, and from his palm, a crescent blade that was shining with hazy golden light but was completely white, crystal clear and flawless gradually emerged.

This is a weapon with a narrow and slightly curved blade. Although there is no decoration on it, its white material itself has an exquisite and flawless beauty. The aura it exudes makes any creature that sees it have an urge to kneel down and worship it involuntarily.

The origin of this weapon is very simple. It is made by polishing and refining a rib removed from the Immortal King. It can be said that Wayne, the Demon King and the second-generation Undead King, has basically spent most of his energy on this weapon for more than 30 years.

Although he independently completed the entire process from collecting the raw materials to polishing and refining this weapon, there is no impenetrable wall in this world.

Even if he has not told anyone, once this incident happened, there is a possibility that it could be spied on and sensed by others.

Therefore, Wayne was not very confident that the holy dragon uncle would know about this matter. After all, he took the head of the Immortal King away. While the devil was confused and entangled, the young dragon he caught was fighting bravely. Although he was facing only elite skeleton soldiers, human soldiers with full equipment could eliminate them without any damage if they were of the same number.

But Tyramus was only a three-year-old dragon cub. Although he was nearly ten meters long since birth, even a simple and rough dragon chariot collision could crush a large number of skeleton soldiers. However, the number of skeleton soldiers was too large, and their average strength was gradually increasing, which made the dragon cub’s battle gradually become difficult.

Dragons are powerful and can fight for long periods of time at high intensity, but they are still living creatures and can still feel tired and hungry.

This was true even for Tyramus, who had the bloodline of an ancestral dragon. After two days and one night of continuous fighting, the movements of this young dragon began to slow down. He was now tired, sleepy and hungry, and he needed to eat a lot and then rest.

“Your Highness Stella, this young dragon is almost exhausted. Do we still need to send cannon fodder?”

In a dark corner of a cage as large and magnificent as an arena, a mummy pharaoh, whose body was as shriveled as old bacon, leaned respectfully towards a charming woman shrouded in endless shadows.

The vampire duchess who had been servile and fawning before the Demon King was now like a noble queen. Her gaze did not linger on the mummy priest even for a moment. All her attention was on the golden dragon cub covered with a layer of ashes, watching his every move.

“Go ahead, but bring enough food with you.”

Stella ordered in a cold tone.

“Carry enough food?”

Even though the facial muscles withered and shriveled thousands of years ago, making it difficult for him to make any expression, the soul fire that suddenly leaped in his skull was able to fully express the surprise and confusion of this mummy pharaoh.

“Of course. Do you want to starve this dragon to death?”

Stella looked at the mummy pharaoh with disgust and disdain. It was hard to imagine how there could be such a stupid undead? The brains of these guys had long been withered and decayed, but the leaping soul fire still made it impossible for them to maintain their thinking?

“Of course not, but what should I feed him?”

The Pharaoh knew the identity and status of this damned blood bat in the cemetery. Therefore, even if he was treated like a slave, he would not have any complaints. It was just a temporary humiliation, and he did not have the pitiful emotions of mortals.

“You’re asking me this kind of question? Do you want me to teach you how to summon a skeleton?”

“I was just being foolish. I have some unused gems in my treasury that can be used to feed this dragon.”

The mummy pharaoh prostrated himself on the ground, and without hesitation or thought for too long, he made the move.

He had already seen that although this young dragon was a living creature and the offspring of the Holy Dragon who had killed and taken the Immortal King’s head, due to its status and position, the blood bat in front of him did not dare to do anything to it. This matter was most likely ordered by the Demon King.

He was only allowed to send out skeleton cannon fodder, which showed that the Demon King had no intention of doing anything to the young dragon.

Since he couldn’t move, of course he had to take good care of the other party. With the dragon’s diet, he wouldn’t have to spend so much money, but in the cemetery, where could he find flesh and blood that normal creatures could eat to feed it? He could only bear the pain of bleeding and feed it with gems.

“Take good care of this dragon. If a dragon scale is missing, I will use your bone to replace it.”

The vampire princess, who had just been oppressed by the Demon King, turned around and put pressure on her undead subordinates.

“Yes, yes, I will never let this dragon lose a single dragon scale.”

The mummy pharaoh assured him again and again that he had already seen that the upper echelons of the tomb treated the young dragon as if it were an ancestor. In that case, what else could he say?

Therefore, Teramus, who gritted his teeth and persisted, soon discovered that among the skeleton guards who kept emerging, there were some strange skeletons using gem weapons. However, the inlay of these gems was very rough and without any skill, and they did not even bring out one tenth of the effect of the gems.

“What a waste! Even an alchemy apprentice shouldn’t make such garbage!”

Tyramus looked at the scarlet ruby ​​embedded in the spinal axe in front of him. It was an ordinary fire-attribute gem, but it was embedded in the bone.

Of course, now is not the time to be sentimental. For him, this gem is like a rain after a long drought, it comes at the right time. Although it is a pity, he still has to eat it in order to survive.

When the young golden dragon took out the gem, opened its mouth and swallowed it, a warm current rose from its abdomen, which quickly drove away most of its fatigue and sleepiness.

So, Telramus became full of energy again and continued to fight. Although he couldn’t figure out how he suddenly fell from his father’s palace to the Demon King’s Castle, now was not the time to think about these things.

However, as the battle continued, Telramus noticed something different, because he discovered that whenever he felt tired and sleepy, a few skeletons using gem weapons would appear among the skeletons besieging him at the right time for him to kill.

The appearance of these skeletons not only did not pose any threat to him, but instead brought him gem supplies, allowing him to recover in time.

These gem weapons also have a very common feature, which is that they are completely useless. The gems inlaid on them make little difference whether they are safe or not. It is as if the gems were deliberately given to him.

Although Telramus is young, his innate dragon heritage has given him the most basic thinking and logic, and he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

This is too fake, it was clearly the Demon King who abducted him to the Demon King’s Castle, but after he was thrown into the prison, he was besieged by a group of skeleton soldiers who could not pose any threat to him as long as he resisted.

So, after ten days of fighting, Teramus, who was extremely bored and sleepy, once again swallowed a few gems that were deliberately placed in front of him. Then he curled up his body, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

At first, there was a group of skeleton soldiers waving bone knives and hitting him, but soon, these skeleton soldiers that kept coming in retreated like a tide.

“good night!”

He found that just as he expected, Tyramus closed his eyes, whispered, and fell into a deep sleep.
