Chapter 867: The fight for ancestral blood
"I underestimated you."
"No, no, no, it's not that I'm smart. In fact, I'm reasoning backwards. Since Your Majesty asked my granddaughter to find a way to trick the Demon Emperor, I already understand that Your Majesty has an agreement with him. I can also understand the plan of killing with a borrowed knife."
Wang Jue's voice was not loud in the hall, but because the hall was too quiet, a pindrop could be heard.
"Then I don't know who you think this knife of mine is meant to kill."
"The Demon King is a sharp knife, so of course he wants to kill people who are difficult to kill. Your Majesty is the peace faction, so the one who kills must be the war faction.
For example, I have already been to Novigrad, and the leader of the Shelby family, Old Tom, is obviously the main battler. "
Wang Jue looked at the devil: "Do you know that the person you want to kill is my friend Old Tom?"
The Demon King chuckled first, then laughed loudly and pointed at Wang Jue and shook his head: "You are still so smart. Since you have seen the clues and deduced the overall situation, I think Old Tom should have guessed it too."
"Not just him, many people have guessed it."
"certainly."
The Demon King did not deny it: "The Shelby family seems unwilling to be just one family. It is inevitable for me to deal with them. As the head of the noble family, Old Tom frequently disagrees with my political views. How can I tolerate it?"
"The Honorable Group, this is a tough nut to crack, has your Majesty thought about it? Blood will flow like a river at the right time, and our demon tribe will suffer heavy losses due to internal strife."
"Since you know, why do you still help the Demon Emperor Yu Chuiyun?"
The Demon King asked, "Do you also want to see internal strife?"
"I don't want to see internal strife." Wang Jue replied immediately: "I mean the internal strife in Tingfeng Realm. I don't want to see our descendants die unexpectedly due to the invasion of demons from outside the territory."
"It turns out you are too, Lord Hepai."
The Demon King said every word and then applauded: "Welcome to join, my friend."
"But Your Majesty, I still have doubts in my heart... How can we get rid of Old Tom with a mere demon emperor who is constantly running out of manpower and a bunch of ruined Daxia spy networks? Although Old Tom has the intention to change the head of the family , does not mean that he will sit still and wait for death."
"This is none of my business. You said that the Demon Emperor is extremely talented, so let him worry about this matter, hahahaha."
——
This year’s trial is so weird!
Except for Belle and Green from the Royal Academy, only a student from Jin Jiala, a faraway school, received an ancestral blood, while the other academies received nothing.
No matter how these demon students begged and worshiped the demon god's body sincerely, their ancestors never showed up.
The students from Jin Kaila are the biggest dark horses. Although this is not the first time that the name of this college has appeared in the public eye, it has never been so popular.
"What kind of college is Jin Kaila?" the noble man asked the housekeeper with a frown while reading the newspaper.
"Sir, it's just a shabby academy in the mountains. It's just good at three sports and occasionally wins gold medals, so it's never been banned."
"Oh, it won't be shabby from now on."
The noble man took a sip of the coffee, which in Yu Chuiyun's opinion was extremely bitter, shook his head and said, "It's time to get rich now. I don't know how many people are thinking about the ancestral blood in their hands, but after getting the ancestral blood, they have to meet the Demon King." , how many people dare not act rashly, I am curious."
"Then Master, I will send you gifts now, and win over the students of Jin Kaila first."
"It's too late, we reacted too slowly..." The noble man shook his head and said: "I don't know how many people rushed ahead of us to remember the ancestral blood... Tsk, tsk, tsk, a drop of ancestral blood may be able to create a big family, maybe It will allow a big family to continue to prosper for a hundred years."
The butler was silent.
"Why are you still hanging around? Go give the gift. I'll give it to you even if it's late, just in case."
The master scolded.
Scenes like this happen in all the big families in Demon King City. Without exception, these masters who make the decisions do not think highly of those who have been
The commoner students called Jin Kaila the young hero, but they were interested in the drop of ancestral blood they got in their hands.
As for the other two drops of ancestral blood, it is impossible for nobles without certain abilities to consider them.
There is a prince in the Belle family, and it is obviously the prince who decides where this drop of ancestral blood will go... The Green family... Needless to say, the Green family's status in Demon City is second only to the Shelby family. Even the devil might not be able to pull out the ancestral blood from their hands.
Speaking of the Demon King, he has a pure bloodline and does not really need ancestral blood to increase his cultivation. Ancestral blood is only useful for nobles whose bloodline is not that pure.
Among the ten warriors of the Royal Academy, there is one from the Shelby family. He is currently being punished by the family. A stone weighing 500 kilograms was carried on the child's back and he knelt for a day.
Robin sat opposite him for a day, with the beauty feeding him delicious and juicy fruits.
"If you want your brother to be crushed to death by this stone, just keep letting him kneel."
Old Tom's voice rang above his head, and the hot tea in Robin's mouth suddenly sprayed all over the floor. The beautiful maid next to her was also startled, but Old Tom held her shoulders and signaled that she was okay and let her go down.
"Grandpa...Grandpa..." Robin is not afraid of anything in his family, but he is only afraid of the old man. Perhaps it is the same as his painful childhood experience. When he sees the old man, he reminds him of being trained like a dog, and his barks are not answered every day. The ground doesn't work.
However, the devilish training in his childhood made him invincible among his peers, and also created his character of despising everyone except Old Tom.
He doesn't know how to control his emotions. He only knows that when he is angry, someone must pay the price.
Even if the person didn't really make a mistake, or just failed to meet his expectations, he will be violent, even to his parents.
It is a pity that Old Tom chose his grandson. After all, there are not many younger generations who can fight. This gold medal fighter is what the family needs, so Robin's parents were expelled from the Demon King's City and went to a distant place.
From now on, Robin is the lawless Robin. Apart from the royal family, he is the biggest in the entire Demon City.
"Can you let your brother take the stone off your back?"
"certainly."
With cold sweat streaming down his back, Robin immediately jumped up and asked his brother to put the boulder down. He also asked his brother if he was tired and if he wanted to go down and rest. It was as good as brothers with the same father and mother, but in fact they were just cousins.
"Let your brother go down and rest. This is the end of the trouble. He will work with you after graduation. You should be nice to him in the future. If he comes to complain to me, you know the consequences, my grandson."
Old Tom sat on the chair, with Robin waiting in front of him. The student ran away like a dead man, even forgetting to say hello to his grandfather.
"Tell me, are you going to knock someone out of the Green family tomorrow, kidnap them, and then ask the Green family to redeem them with ancestral blood?"
Old Tom took a sip of tea and frowned. This tea actually contained oil, spices, and cinnamon, which was how humans ate it a long time ago.
Robin laughed twice: "My careful plan was actually discovered by you, grandpa. You are really a bright eye."
"A wise eye knows pearls." Old Tom almost spit out his tea: "You must not have read a word of the book I asked you to read."
"Does the cover count?"
"Kneel down."
Robin immediately knelt down in front of the old man.
Old Tom instinctively wanted to reprimand, as always, but after taking a deep breath, he felt a little tired. He thought that he was old after all and had no strength to teach others.
"You know, the Green family doesn't want to keep the ancestral blood because their ancestor is about to die and a drop of ancestral blood cannot save him."
Robin looked happy: "Is the Green family about to fall?"
"Shut up!"
Robin lowered his head again.
"You idiot, do you want to take advantage of the situation again? You--" Old Tom's anger was aroused again, but it was quickly suppressed. I have to say that he is not an ordinary person who can tolerate Robin for so many years.
It can be done.
"Ahem, your sister, Lian, has planned to use a large sum of money to buy ancestral blood from the Green family, and she is already in the process of negotiating. Lian has made a lot of money in business, and this money The family will not pay for it, but she will pay for it herself, and she will give me the ancestral blood. This girl is very filial."
Old Tom spoke in a typing manner, and of course he understood it, but if it was more profound, Robin might not be able to understand it.
"She made a lot of money?"
"Damn it, is this the point?"
Old Tom looked left and right, regretting not bringing his crutch, which was the easiest thing to hit Robin with.
"She wants to use money to buy ancestral blood for me. This is a big gift. Robin, do you understand? Maybe I will give him the title of head of the family."
Robin stood up angrily: "Grandpa, I can buy it for you too, I also have money."
"Kneel down."
Robin fell to his knees again with a thud.
"Are you rich? How can your three melons and two dates compare to Lian's giant businessman? Do you know that Lian's business has even reached the human race, and even war has not stopped her from making money.
The tea you are drinking now, the fruit you are eating, and even the perfume the maid is spraying are all smuggled from the human race. Even the war cannot stop her.
Over the years, she may have earned hundreds of thousands of gold coins. "
Old Tom said somewhat meaningfully: "Lian is a good boy, but it's a pity that he doesn't have any talent for cultivation. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself."
"So it's so profitable to do business!? Hundreds of thousands of gold coins?"
Robin's eyes bulged. He had been killing people, setting fires, and collecting protection fees in the Demon King's City since he was a child. None of the gangsters below him was unfilial to him. He had worked hard like this for so many years and only earned a few thousand gold coins a year.
"Child, I told you that everyone has their own talents. Don't think that you are invincible just because you can fight. The enemy will seize on your weaknesses and give you a fatal blow."
Old Tom looked serious: "Son, your weakness is your cultivation."
"I don't understand, Grandpa..."
"Sometimes, you become blindly confident in your own strength, don't you?"
