The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 266: Aftermath

Chapter 266: Aftermath
Magic City, Cabinet Building, Office of the Minister of Military Affairs.

The magic flames lengthened the shadows of the candlesticks, illuminating the battle map spread out on the table. The air was filled with the scent of old books and withered tobacco.

Sitting behind the desk, Caesar Colin, wearing a black military uniform, with a pipe in his mouth, a rare smile on his old yet majestic face.

Good news came from the direction of the bloody wasteland.

The Os Empire’s army was dazzled by the victory in Port Sardo and organized a huge battle half a month ago, trying to swallow up the Red Flame Legion that retreated to the Blood Wasteland.

They may have obtained intelligence from within Hell, or they may have seen clues from some clues. In short, when the Empire learned that the notorious General Cebes had been captured due to internal struggles, they immediately organized three legions with a total of more than 150,000 troops and launched an offensive against the Bloody Wasteland from three directions.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the operation, they even transferred General Hamelton, the “Imperial Griffin” who advocated a steady and cautious approach, and instead sent a duke with diamond-level strength.

It is extremely rare for the Duke to go to the front line in person. After all, the hardest parts of the human body are the femur and skull, but who would use these two parts to fight?
General Barro was ordered to lead the remaining troops to organize a defense. Facing the pursuit of the Grand Duke of Humanity, he fought and retreated, and finally held out until the nearby Lord of Hell arrived with reinforcements.

Two diamond-level warriors fought each other. One of them was diamond-level two hundred years ago, but hadn’t fought seriously for half a century. The other one was fifty years old and still strong, but he rarely went to the front line.

The two sides were fighting so fiercely that they had no time to care about other things, and bystanders could basically not intervene.

Just when the battle between the two sides became increasingly intense, twenty “Hellfire” magic crystal tanks launched a charge towards the human cavalry in the wilderness!

The bones and flesh were rolled into pieces by the steel. The heavy tracks were like teeth rolling on the ground. The magic crystal cannons that fired at close range directly cut an abyss-like crack in the waist of the 200,000-strong army.

Seeing the roaring steel behemoth, all the human soldiers were stunned, as if they saw the Doomsday Judgment described in the Book of the Holy Word.

They chopped with swords, released fireballs with scrolls, smashed with hammers and bit with teeth… but it was of no use to the heavy armor.

What was even more fatal was that a tidal army of goblins, demons, and ghouls launched a charge right after them, eventually causing the total collapse of the 20-strong army.

Occasionally, one or two silver-level pioneers tried to break through the tank’s armor, but they were all defeated by the magic crystal cannon.

To withstand the bombardment of that thing, one must have at least gold-level strength. Even with gold-level strength, it is extremely difficult to break through the heavy crowds and paralyze the opponent’s war machine in this chaotic battlefield.

After all, for Hell and the Empire, the gold level is a watershed.

The general commanders are of this level, and the knights below them are mostly made of fine steel and silver.

Those above them are either clergymen who serve the gods, or nobles who serve the emperor… These people will not easily take risks on the battlefield. After all, a large number of ants can kill an elephant, and dying on the enemy’s territory will be very troublesome, and there is a risk that the soul will not be able to return.

Caesar Colin could even imagine how embarrassed the diamond-level duke was when he escaped.

20 soldiers were killed and their weapons and armor were abandoned…

I wonder what kind of turmoil will be caused in the holy city of the Oss Empire after learning this news.

There was a playful smile on Caesar’s lips, and his eyes, narrowed into slits, were filled with profound meaning.

Just as he was tapping his fingers on the table, lost in thought, light footsteps were heard from outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

He extinguished the pipe in his hand and threw it into the drawer, regaining his imposing demeanor, and then spoke calmly.

“Come in.”

The door was pushed open, and a wave of heat followed.

Fire Demon Councilman Atlan stepped into the office, with a faint red glow under his well-fitting tuxedo, like a piece of living molten iron forged by a volcano.

He respectfully placed a plan on the table and said with a smile on his face: “Your Excellency, this is the new design plan submitted by Baron Luo Yan of Black Wind Castle. Although I think there is no problem in directly approving it, but you said before that all the drawings of the ‘Black Wind Castle New Armament Plan’ must be reviewed by you personally, so I brought it here for you.”

Caesar raised an eyebrow and reached out to pick up the document and flip through it.

The title of the document clearly reads: Improvement plan for “Hellfire Vehicle No. 2”.

Just as Caesar was flipping through the book with interest, Senator Atlan stood beside the desk and introduced it with a beaming smile.

“Compared to the previous ‘Hellfire’ model, this vehicle has additional firing holes while maintaining the original armor thickness, allowing soldiers inside the vehicle to shoot more effectively in close combat.”

Having said this, he paused for a moment and added another sentence.

“In addition, he optimized the embedded magic pattern based on the advice of the War Department, reducing the energy consumption of magic feedback and gas shield by 20%, and adjusted the triggering method… The magic pattern will only be activated when an attack above bronze level touches the vehicle body, thus avoiding the goblin operator’s accidental triggering. To be honest, this is a genius design… He solved the problem that our engineers racked their brains to solve with just a piece of fragile ceramic.”

Caesar lowered his head and looked through the documents. After thinking for a moment, he nodded, his voice filled with obvious satisfaction.

“Not bad… It seems that the young man is not only talented in tactical application, but also quite insightful in equipment improvement.”

“I think so too,” Atlan smiled and continued to report, “In addition, the first batch of ‘Hellfire’ tanks have been deployed to the front line and have been widely praised by officers. Especially in the battle of the Bloody Wasteland, its powerful off-road performance and heavy firepower caused heavy losses to the enemy… I think you have seen these in the battle report.”

When Caesar heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He doesn’t praise others easily, but this time, there was a hint of obvious approval in his sharp eyes.

“Haha, you are worthy of being the young man I have my eyes on.”

After saying this casually, he closed the document in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and crossed his fingers.

“Does he have any other new plans recently?”

Atlan smiled and nodded: “Indeed. Your Excellency Prince, you should have heard about the recent railway plan of Black Wind Castle, right?”

Caesar said nothing, but motioned for Councillor Atlan to continue.

The latter paused and continued.

“Currently, Black Wind Castle is advancing the railway plan that was shelved due to the plague incident. The goal is to connect the mining area of ​​Graystone Ridge and the densely populated western urban area of ​​Magic City.”

When Atlan said this, an expression of sincere approval appeared on his face.

“The goblin engineers in the logistics department were full of praise for this new mode of transportation, especially after they came back from their visit to the maze in Thunder County. I originally thought he was just a scheming guy, but I didn’t expect that he had such far-reaching insights in industry. This is simply…”

“It’s incredible, isn’t it?” Caesar finished the second half of the sentence with a smile.

“Yes.”

Atlan nodded seriously, his pupils flickering with admiration and a hint of complexity.

I don’t know when it started, but a rumor suddenly began to spread among the people of the Demon City – it said that “the Demon King” who was born in the temple was the chosen one sent to the underworld by the Demon God, and he came with a mission.

The Ministry of Truth did not make any comment on this. After all, Councillor Luo Yan’s identity was too sensitive. Without the word of the Minister of Religion, nothing the people below could say would be appropriate.

Atlan never took the rumors seriously, but this time he couldn’t ignore it completely.

After all, that silver-level demon king killed Elder Zakro, who had completely fallen out with him, despite the obvious protection of Grigor Soran…

The only explanation he could think of was divine intervention.

Caesar was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: “…He is indeed better than I thought.”

such a pity.

It’s a good deal for the little girl from the Padridge family.

To be honest, he really disliked the women in the Padrich family. They didn’t look like demons at all, and the culture of succubi in the Demon City was distorted by them.

What is the pure love of succubus?
What’s the difference between that and vampires drinking milk and demons eating steak?
Of course, he didn’t like the one from Melusine’s family either. That guy’s eyes always made him feel annoyed.

really–

The evil spirits in hell still need to be saved by the Colin family.

Caesar was very satisfied with his precious granddaughter Vivian, and he wished he could skip over that waste Roxel and pass the throne directly to her.

Of course, at this moment he didn’t know what his precious granddaughter was doing.

Otherwise, it is hard to say whether this respected vampire prince will still be as optimistic as he is now.

……

After the business was over, the atmosphere in the office gradually quieted down. The fire in the fireplace crackled, reflecting Caesar Colin’s deep face.

He closed the file and tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he suddenly sighed and changed the subject.

“To be honest, Zachro’s death has touched me a little bit. I’ve been thinking about it a lot these past few days.”

Atlan was slightly stunned, then looked up at him with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

“Zakro?”

He didn’t understand what Prince Colin wanted to say, so he said nothing quietly and waited for the latter to continue.

Caesar raised his index finger and rubbed his forehead, his majestic voice with a hint of lowness.

“Ever since I broke through the bottleneck of the demigod level, there are very few things in this world that can scare me. However, recently I suddenly realized… I am not as omnipotent as I thought.”

Atlan quietly pondered his intentions, and suddenly a casual smile appeared on his face.

“Oh? A young man who has just come to prominence has left such a deep impression on you?”

“It has nothing to do with him,” Caesar smiled faintly, looking at the crackling flames in the fireplace, and continued expressionlessly, “I just… saw something familiar in Zakro.”

He looked down on Zakro.

When he was still young, the Dragun family was at its peak and was not inferior to the Colin family.

However, ever since he took over the power of the Principality of Colin and made his mark on the big stage of Magic City, the Dragun family has been on a downward spiral, until now it has completely fallen to the bottom and has almost fallen out of the core power circle of Magic City.

However, even though he looked down on others, it did not prevent him from looking at his still young self and the future of Colin’s family through this mirror that had been stained by more than five hundred years of time.

Zach Lowe is a good reference.

They all have a glorious past, a determination to achieve their goals at any cost, extraordinary ambitions… and a faith and desire to control everything that fades with the passage of time.

If nothing unexpected happens, my life span will not be less than this guy’s. In fact, as long as he wants, there will be no problem for him to live forever.

It was hard for him not to worry that one day in the future he would become the person he once hated.

There is no telling what the future holds.

But one thing is for sure, if this happens, it will be almost impossible for anyone to stop him…

This is true both from the perspective of power and strength.

It was both his outer garment and his cocoon.

Atlan understood the expression on Caesar’s face, nodded slightly, and spoke in a firm tone.

“Your Excellency is worrying too much. I think if it were you, it would not turn out like that.”

Caesar waved his hand and chuckled. “No need to flatter me. I often reflect on whether I am too stubborn sometimes… or too controlling.”

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on the map on the wall that depicted the territory of the Magic City, his fingertips slowly tapping on the armrest.

“I didn’t feel this way today, but I didn’t start to think about it seriously until recently… our world belongs to young demons after all.”

Demons live too long.

In the blink of an eye, several generations of human beings have passed, but they are still the same.

Perhaps this is also the reason why they could not defeat the Oss Empire.

Even though they had the upper hand in the battle of the Blood Wasteland, he could not be optimistic that this would become a turning point in this war that had lasted for a thousand years.

After all, similar coincidences have happened too many times in the past. They have taken advantage time and time again, and even brought the war to the edge of the Holy City time and time again, but in the end they all became a chapter in the epic of the Ottoman Empire’s long-lasting prosperity.

How long can the advantage of the magic crystal cannon last?

He couldn’t tell either.

Atlan was silent for a while, and finally said softly: “Your vision is much broader than that of most demons. I don’t think you need to be too anxious… Just leave the future to time. This is how we have been for a thousand years. It’s not just us, isn’t it the same for humans on the surface?”

“maybe.”

Caesar sighed softly, and after a pause, his sharp and deep gaze suddenly looked out the window.

“Also, I’ve been thinking these days that maybe it’s time to let Roxelle inherit some of my things.”

The Cabinet was still too far for him.

But the title of the Principality of Corin should be just right.

Anyway, the title is not that important to me, but it is a good training opportunity for Roxelle.

As for himself.

It’s enough to keep a baron title in hand.

Hearing Caesar’s words, a hint of surprise flashed in Atlan’s eyes.

He pondered for a moment, then carefully chose his words and said, “It’s not convenient for me to interfere in your family affairs…but is that child not mature enough?”

He used the word “child”, which clearly showed his attitude – he didn’t think highly of Roxelles.

Although the Colin family has a mature elders’ council mechanism that can greatly restrict incompetent patriarchs, a weak patriarch will still inevitably make the Colin family’s allies feel uneasy.

Falling in love with a human is not a problem, and it is not a problem if this human is a clergyman. Even playing the role of a sentimental person is not a big deal… The Padrich family are old players in this regard, and no demon thinks there is anything wrong with them.

However, Roxelle’s problem is that he can’t get over a little emotional turmoil… Who can stand this?
Caesar heard the hesitation in his words, but just smiled faintly and spoke in a soothing tone.

“That may not be the case. I didn’t think much of him before, but recently… I suddenly found that this brat is not that unpleasant to look at.”

Atlan was speechless for a moment, and couldn’t help but complain in his heart – that’s your son, sir.

It’s okay if you don’t like it yourself.

However, he did not say anything else, just nodded slightly respectfully.

“Since you have made up your mind, I won’t say anything… The Hephis family will always respect your choice.”

“Thank you.”

Caesar smiled and continued slowly.

“Anyway, take your time. I didn’t say that I would let him take over right away starting tomorrow, but there are some things you can let him try to do gradually. This can also be considered as my assessment of him.”

At this point, Caesar paused for a moment and answered Atlan’s previous question.

“…and if I never take this step, he will always be just a child.”

“He should be a continuation of me, not another me.”

……

The butterfly of fate flapped its wings silently.

At this moment, Roxie didn’t know that the only thing he had been determined to do in more than ten years, not only did not make his situation worse, but instead made his father change his prejudice against him – this guy was still tough when he needed to be tough, and he was not always fussy.

This was something he had never imagined.

Not only that, Roxelle also did not expect that although Vivian gave the key to the First Embrace to Luo Yan, the latter did not use the key to embrace the bloodline of the Colin family, but instead improved his soul level through other methods… and finally achieved the same effect by accident.

That is why, when Vivian discovered that her dear “brother” did not obey her orders because of the constraints of blood ties, she instantly suffered an unprecedented breakdown in defense.

Although Luo Yan was unhappy that Vivian did not tell him about the “side effects” of the First Embrace, he was an adult after all and was not going to argue with a child.

Besides, that kind of non-binding contract is nothing compared to the need to drink blood regularly.

In the end, the whole thing ended with Vivian sliding down and apologizing, and Mia believed his explanation.

Although Luo Yan didn’t feel that he needed to explain anything, there was no reason for him to explain.

The devil can testify.

He is innocent!
The little episode in the study came to an end.

The original trip for two people turned into a trip for three people. Luo Yan took the “still frightened” Vivian and the “relieved” Mia to the first hot pot restaurant in Black Wind Castle – Fendilao.

Although Mia seems to be unable to eat spicy food, there are also two options: double soup and clear soup.

As for why he chose to go there, firstly, there was really nothing to see in Black Wind Castle, and secondly, he also wanted to take a look at what the new tricks his little players had come up with recently were like…

As soon as the three guests appeared in the market near the industrial area, they immediately caused a huge sensation.

Although few people in Black Wind Castle could recognize the faces of Miss Padridge and Miss Colin, the identities of succubus and vampire were already quite rare in a place like Black Wind Castle, and they would attract a few extra glances if they walked down the street.

As for the figure sandwiched between the two, it was no stranger to the surrounding demons—

That is their respected Demon King!

Vivian really didn’t like the feeling of being stared at, and she glared back fiercely at everyone who stared at her.

What are you looking at?

If you look at me again, I’ll dig your eyeballs out!

Some goblins looked away in fear, while others seemed to be inexplicably happy… but they also quickly looked away.

After all, it was the stare of a gold-level strong man. Even without the bonus of his status, it was still quite intimidating.

Unlike the “Evil Ghost of Colin’s House”, Mia actually enjoys the feeling of being watched by everyone –

Especially that look that clearly showed some misunderstanding.

Not bad.

Please misunderstand me a little more!
She had a charming smile on her face, and her ten white fingers gently held Luo Yan’s arm. The proudly standing mountain peak unconsciously moved closer to the green pine that seemed to support the sky.

Luo Yan’s expression was a little stiff, not because of Mia’s intimate behavior, but because his other arm was held in the hand of a gold-level vampire – the nails were deeply embedded in the flesh.

“Vivian.”

He felt the need to remind someone to be careful, so he scolded in a low voice.

Hearing the stern voice, Vivian, who had a murderous look on her face, suddenly trembled her shoulders and hurriedly loosened her clenched hands, looking aggrieved, like a kitten that broke a vase.

“Yes, I’m sorry…”

Luo Yan didn’t have the heart to blame her, after all, she was his sister, so he let it go.

Not far away, several little players were staring at the three unique figures, whispering with envy and jealousy.

This game has been launched for so long, but they haven’t experienced the succubus as advertised at all. It turned out that the Demon King experienced it for them.

“As expected of the Demon King, he has only been back in the Demon City for a few months and he already has a child!”

“Hasn’t the child grown up this much?!”

It’s a pity that Vivian couldn’t understand the crickets behind them, otherwise there would be a few more sad figures at the resurrection point…

Arriving at the stall selling delicious food at Fendilao, Luo Yan ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot, and then sat down in a secluded corner with the other two.

The Greedy Sword God who was in charge of receiving the guests came over with a chuckle, the soul fire swaying in his skull like a swaying tail, “Respected Demon King… what can I do for you?”

“What’s your signature dish?”

“Signature dishes? There are so many! For example, freshly cut Minotaur marbled beef fillet, Hellfire wolf leg meat, Thunder Lizard Snake, Ogre Brain Flower, Hill Rat Tail, Abyss Ice Soul Fish Fillet and various blood sausages.” [Greedy Sword God] looked excited and listed them all.

When Vivian heard the word blood, she suddenly became energetic and her eyes sparkled.

“Blood?! What is that?!”

Bewitched by this guy’s cute appearance, the Greedy Sword God immediately explained attentively.

“It’s…something like tofu.”

“Tofu?”

“Well, it’s delicious anyway!”

“So what kind of blood is there?”

“Yes, yes! We also support on-site ordering, but you will have to wait a while… May I ask what would you like, sir?” [Greedy Sword God] held the pen and paper seriously, preparing to record with great enthusiasm.

“I……”

Vivian licked her lips with her little tongue and secretly glanced at Luo Yan beside her, her eyes eager to make a move.

Luo Yan felt his neck tighten, as if a mosquito had fallen on him, so he coughed and changed the topic.

“If there is any blood of the Minotaur, please give me some, and also slices of beef and mutton…”

He ordered more than a dozen dishes in a row, ordering everything that looked normal on the menu, except for things like ogre brains and hill rat tails.

After confirming the menu, [Greedy Sword God] immediately ran to the kitchen in a hurry.

Vivian showed a lost expression on her face, as if she was regretting missing out on the most delicious food in the world.

Luo Yan didn’t want to know what she regretted, so he focused his attention on the menu in front of him and asked Mia, who was sitting next to him, if she wanted any extra dishes.

I don’t know if it was due to some kind of stimulation, but Mia changed her usual behavior and became abnormal.

She held her chin with both hands, looked at Luo Yan and shook her head gently, her voice was soft and weak, and she didn’t show any silver-level strength at all.

“It’s up to you to decide. I like whatever you like.”

As expected of a silver-level succubus—

Luo Yan was fine. Considering his research on tea art, this was only at the entry-level level. It was obvious that this poor student had indeed returned all of Professor Lilith’s true teachings.

However, unlike him, Vivian, who was sitting next to him, looked as if she had received 10,000 critical hits. She acted as if she had been seriously injured and wiped the non-existent blood from the corner of her mouth.

hateful……

Is this the strength of the Padrich family?

It’s really scary!
Mia looked at her with a smile, as if she was sure of victory and had firmly grasped the future.

Although it is a bit unkind to bully a child, Mia no longer intends to treat her as an ordinary sister, and she must strike back hard.

And she has gradually mastered the trick to break this guy’s defense –

Just give our dear classmate Luo Yan a lesson!

Mia thought so, but she still underestimated Vivian’s jealousy and revenge.

This guy is probably a Scorpio.

The glances between the two men created sparks in the air until a skeleton came up carrying a huge iron pot.

“The shabu-shabu hotpot is here! Help yourself to the small ingredients!”

The charcoal fire was lit and bubbles began to gurgle in the pot.

Vivian, who had just returned from running to get the seasoning, happened to trip over the stool at the next table and let out a mournful cry.

Luo Yan quickly grabbed her, but didn’t notice the sly smile on her lips.

With a light slide of the slender white index finger, a whole plate of chopped dried chilies and chili oil was accurately delivered into the clear soup base of the shuangxiang hotpot.

The originally clear soup quickly turned into a strange red color, and even the air was filled with a spicy smell.

“Oh… Oops…” Vivian’s face turned pale. She looked at Luo Yan nervously and whispered, “Dove, dove… I… I think I accidentally poured the chili in…”

Her tone was full of regret and uneasiness, with her index finger hooked behind her back, like a child who had made a mistake and was expecting her brother’s forgiveness.

However, if you look closely, you can easily find a smile of success hidden deep in her eyes.

It’s okay if it’s not intentional.

That can only be intentional.

“…I’m glad everyone is alright.”

Not wanting to expose this guy’s trick, Luo Yan sighed and looked at Mia whose tail was tense.

“How about I change the pot?”

“Huh, huh, huh…” Mia smiled stiffly. As if to prove something, she quickly put a piece of meat in the pot and swallowed it in an instant. “Who said I can’t eat spicy food?”

No one said she couldn’t eat it.

But just as she clumsily used the tongs to stuff the cooked meat slices into her mouth, her already bright red lips instantly turned blood red, as if they were about to spit out fire in the next second.

“Pfft…hahahaha…ouch!”

The uncontrollable laughter completely exposed Vivian’s evil ambitions, and it also earned her a blow on the head.

“You guy-“

Looking at Vivian who was holding her head and pretending to be pitiful, Mia was so angry that her teeth were itching. She picked up another piece of beef soaked in spicy oil and stuffed it into her mouth.

Vivian was caught off guard and was silenced by Mia.

“Well–?!”

She opened her eyes wide and tried to dodge, but it was too late!
The chili oil melted on the tip of her tongue, and the burning sensation instantly swept through her entire mouth. Before she even had time to chew, she felt boiling magma rolling through her throat.

“Water–!! I want water!!!”

Tears welled up in her eyes and she hurriedly grabbed the teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp, which only added fuel to the fire.

That was a cup of hot tea.

Although it was not hot, any temperature would be infinitely magnified for Miss Vivian’s delicate mouth at this moment.

“Ohhhh!! I’m going to die!!”

Is it such an exaggeration?
Luo Yan waved his wand silently, dropping frost on the steaming cup, saving Vivian from the chaos.

But at this moment, the tip of his staff hanging in the air suddenly paused, and then he cast an intriguing look at the player standing next to him holding a tray.

“Did you add something…something that shouldn’t be in Hell?”

The moment he heard these words, the soul fire in the burning skull flickered instantly.

[Greedy Sword God] avoided eyes and stuttered.

“Demon, Demon Lord, you misunderstood… I, we, uh… are trying to develop… the hellfire pot that even a gold-level warrior can feel, so…”

So the power of holy light is integrated into the chili pepper, right?

The demons in the Magic City may not have seen that thing before. It is really not easy to distinguish the two similar burning sensations mixed together, but it will be hard to tell after a long time.

Especially Vivian, this guy has experienced it.

“Change the pot, is that ok?” Luo Yan looked at him with a smile, but his eyes were filled with unfathomable coldness.

“No, no!” [Greedy Sword God] was so frightened that he trembled and nodded nervously.

He was about to leave with the hot pot, but suddenly he lost control of his body and his entire skeleton froze in place.

“…I hope this is the last time, do you understand me?” A voice without any emotion floated into his ears, making all the bones in his body tense.

“Yes!”

Listening to the scream coming from the depths of his soul, Luo Yan nodded slightly and let go of the player who had used him as an experiment without permission.

Even though it was infuriating, this was his own territory after all.

“It won’t happen again.”

A food safety crisis that almost swept across the entire Demon City was strangled in the cradle by the Demon King.

The new hot pot was served again. This time, the three little players did not dare to make any “innovations”. The shabu-shabu hot pot was really just a spicy hot pot and clear soup.

Mia was surprised to find that she could suddenly eat spicy food. Even though she still couldn’t say she liked it very much, at least her throat didn’t hurt anymore.

Vivian looked confused. She took a bite of the chili pepper and then a mouthful of the spicy soup. She always felt that something was missing, but she couldn’t tell what was missing.

Luo Yan was calmly savoring the food, and at this moment, a youyou voice suddenly floated into his ears.

“Master Demon, something terrible has happened!”

Putting down the cutlery in his hand, Luo Yan, who had finally taken a break, sighed and said silently in his heart.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Youyou circled in the sky and spoke anxiously.

“No, it’s not me, it’s your servant Lumire! The captain you sent to wander the western part of the Vast Ocean!”

Lumière?
Luo Yan frowned slightly and was about to ask when the anxious voice continued to come non-stop –

“…his ship ran aground on an unknown shore!”
