Thirty kilometers away from the Demon King's City, there was the first human village.
This journey is not short at all. It takes half a day to take a carriage, and it will be dark when we get back.
However, Jiang Li insisted on going, as if no one could stop me, so Yasaka Airi could only accompany him.
"Why do we have to go to the village?"
On the way, Yasaka Airi found two unicorns wandering in the wild.
She used the ability of monster protection to instantly strengthen the two unicorns to the cadre level, allowing them to move as fast as a car and carry the two people towards the village.
"Just going to have a look."
Jiang Li's tone was vague and his attitude was obviously perfunctory.
"Speaking of which, does your protective ability come from the same source as the old devil?"
He diverted Yasaka Airi's attention and directed the conversation to her abilities.
If you really want to say it, this monster's ability to protect is quite buggy. He can create a first-level adventurer of Orario in an instant, which is completely a plug-in level of power!
"Yes."
Yasaka Airi nodded and admitted this.
"Where is the source?"
"ancestor."
"what is it call?"
"I didn't know for a long time."
Yasaka Airi shook her head.
She wasn't lying.
The name of the ancestor who was also suspected to be a reincarnation from Neon has long been lost in history, and even her direct descendants and the old devil have long forgotten it.
Jiang Li had some guesses in his mind.
In this way, their ancestor named Yasaka was probably the same as Mitsurugi Kyouya, a reincarnation who obtained a plug-in from a so-called "beautiful goddess" and was sent to this world.
But later, for some unknown reason, he chose to become the Demon King and pass on his bloodline and abilities to his direct descendants.
As evidence, Yasaka Airi is obviously a hybrid of ghosts in this world, but she still has long black hair, which is the characteristic of a reincarnated person.
I don't know if it is due to genetic selection, but she is also very good-looking, with very regular facial features, especially her long legs that are quite eye-catching, with good shape and appropriate proportions.
"I remember the old devil said that your protection has surpassed him and can cover an army of dozens of people, right?"
"That's right."
"Is the level of protection inferior to him?"
As soon as the words came out.
Yasaka Airi froze suddenly and looked at him in disbelief.
"Nothing like that!"
She turned her head quickly, her tone tight.
"The power you gave to these two unicorn horses is not on the same level as the power the old devil gave to the mimic monster. Do you think I can't notice it?"
Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the horse.
It looked wobbly and could fall down at any time, but it always stayed on the horse's back.
His inquiring gaze fell on Yasaka Airi's slender and tall back.
If the power the old devil gave to the mimic monster in the treasure house was 100%, then the power Yasaka Airi gave to the Unicorn was 90%.
After learning the Biyi Sword and perfectly controlling his body, Jiang Li could see through the ups and downs of his opponent's aura, movement of his internal organs, and the health of his bones at a glance.
His eyes alone have the functions of an X-ray machine, a CT machine, an MRI machine, etc.
It's amazing.
He naturally saw through the level gap between Yasaka Airi and the old devil's protection at a glance.
"Nothing like that!"
But she insists there is no hierarchical gap.
The expression on her face was very cold, as if she was extremely unwilling to talk about this topic, and no matter how much he asked, he could not pry her mouth open.
"Yeah."
Jiang Li withdrew his gaze.
Since she wasn't going to tell her, there was no need for him to ask.
Anyway, this ability is probably out of his reach.
And he prefers the kind of power that strengthens himself. Strengthening monsters can certainly gain a power, but it cannot become the strongest. It is meaningless for him who pursues self-strength. The old devil has proven this.
…………
after an hour.
The two came to the human village closest to the Demon King's Castle.
After driving away the unicorn that was pestering the witch and unwilling to leave, the two walked towards the outer wall of the village one after another.
That's right.
Although it is just a small village with no more than a few hundred people, it still has a city wall several meters high, which looks almost like a semi-fortress.
This is probably also to guard against possible sneak attacks by the Demon King's army.
"Who are you?"
A villager guarding the city couldn't help but feel his breath stagnant when he saw the two people outside, especially Jiang Li, and he quickly felt good feelings in his eyes.
"We are adventurers passing by!"
Jiang Li adjusted the armor on his body. Needless to say, his striking handsomeness already hit him.
Yasaka Airi was wearing a set of mage robes, holding her hood with one hand to hide the ghost horns on her forehead.
But for some reason, her lower body was in a miniskirt that only covered her thighs, and her long legs were wrapped in a pair of black garters, which looked very sentimental.
"Why are you wearing this?"
"...Father asked me to wear it."
Yasaka Airi looked away silently.
It was the first time in her life to wear a miniskirt and suspenders, and she was also very embarrassed!
But her father said that if she wanted to seduce Jiang Li, she must use her best advantage, so she could only dress like this.
But to be honest, she almost never saw Jiang Li cast a bitter look at her along the way. Every time he looked at her, his eyes were very clear and without any desire.
"There's no fate between us, so just save it."
Jiang Li rejected her bluntly.
This call made her doubt her own charm. When she was in the army, the monsters under her command were full of praises for her, saying that she could completely charm human adventurers.
To be fair, she does have charm, and judging from her appearance alone, she even has a beauty that is close to that of a goddess.
If Jiang Li was still an iron virgin before, he would have been ready to agree, but now he is an experienced driver and is used to state banquets like Freya's. Now look at this kind of cabbage that is parallel to his XP system. , even if it is state banquet-level boiled cabbage, it is not sexy!
"Please come in!"
The city defenders quickly released the two men.
Do you feel like the people defending the city here are a little sloppy?
But with a super sportsman like me here, this is normal!
Jiang Li thought so, and under the warm welcome of the villagers, he and Yasaka Aili walked into the village.
"What are you doing here?"
Walking on the road paved with stone bricks, Yasaka Airi once again tested Jiang Li.
"This is the third time you've asked me along the way, why, do you care?"
Jiang Li glanced at her with a half-smile.
"Or are you thinking of something that makes you think you have to test me?"
"...Your eyes are indeed very powerful!"
Yasaka Airi sighed, and the expression on her face quickly turned cold.
"You want to become the Demon King just to help humans, right?"
