The Horned Snake Demon Clan obviously didn’t expect it either.
The scales on his body did not play any role and just disappeared out of thin air, thick blood gushing out from the wound in large areas. His hoarse voice now turned into a hoarse sound of unknown meaning, making a whooshing sound.
He slurped as if he wanted to speak, but in the end he could only open and close his lips, leaving a look of surprise on his face.
I was quiet for a long time before speaking out to break the stagnant silence.
"The power of this magic... is quite powerful."
Canxing seemed to be relieved at this time: "It took a long time to prepare - and I haven't tested this magic much since I learned it. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to aim."
"Then I should thank you for not ejaculating on me by mistake." The corners of my eyes twitched unconsciously.
He smiled awkwardly, then coughed slightly and said, "With the help of magic, it's not so easy to shoot wrong, but I can't control it so accurately."
I wisely did not ask any more questions, but used magic to investigate the surroundings and the situation of the demons. After confirming that there were no problems, I walked over.
The horned snake demon had no vital signs at all. It wasn't until I got closer that I discovered that there was a package behind him. It seemed that he had attacked us on an impromptu basis.
It's a pity that I missed it.
It is better for the demons to be honest and careful in the human territory. After all, there is no way to think about who is robbing whom before robbing.
After I signaled to Canxing that there was no problem, I turned around and checked the contents of the demon's backpack.
Surprisingly, the contents inside the bag were tidily packed. In addition to a pile of camping supplies and a change of clothes, there were also scale maintenance wax and polish. Of course, the biggest gain was probably the magic scroll.
Of course, the production process is generally not as exquisite as that of humans, and the effect is also inferior. Although it’s not as good as what Aidolu prepared for me, it’s not bad to sell it for payment—provided there’s still a place for me to sell these things.
There was no other eye-catching thing inside the package, and Canxing also came over at this time to help monitor the surrounding situation.
"How's it going? Did you find anything special?"
"Not yet."
I shook my head, then turned my attention to the horned snake demon, reached out and touched it, and sure enough I found that there were other things hidden on his body.
"Wallet... Tsk, this guy is very poor."
Of course, this so-called poverty is only relative. He has a lot of demon gold coins on him, but judging from the current situation, these things are difficult to sell. They may only be melted into gold ingots, and the White Empire gold coins are even less.
"Wait a minute, there's something else on him."
Immediately afterwards, I touched another small tip bag from him.
The kit was well-made. In addition to the traditional decorations of the demons, it also had gold threads woven into it. It was not at the same level as the ones he used.
Canxing came over curiously and asked, "What is it."
"Like—uh, what is this."
What appeared in front of me was a metal plate made of unknown black metal. It had moldings on the front edge, a specific coat of arms engraved in the middle, and a multi-faceted magic crystal inlaid in it. It looked quite exquisite, while the back was It's a bunch of demonic words, and because of the trembling feeling in the strokes, I can actually taste a bit of the hoarse accent of the horned snake demons...
I shook my head to get rid of this strange thought in my mind, and handed the thing in my hand to Canxing.
"This thing seems to be some kind of identification. I don't know what it is - the brave man should be familiar with these things."
Canxing took the black metal plate and weighed it in his hands with a look of surprise.
"I haven't seen these things before. Although the font is a bit difficult to read, it should be the unique writing method of the Horned Serpent Demon Clan. The text itself is also the common language advocated by the Demon Clan, so it is not difficult to read."
There is communication between various demon clans
The characters and languages used are different, but the writing methods of each clan are different and each has its own characteristics. This can also be regarded as a sign to distinguish different demon clans.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Canxing's face became even more surprised.
"It seems... we encountered a big snake this time, but unfortunately I accidentally killed it when I aimed." He said with some regret, "If I read it correctly, this should be This is proof from the Demon Clan’s envoy, indicating that he is here on behalf of the Horned Serpent Demon Clan.”
Envoy, at this time?
I rubbed my chin and muttered: "Could he be looking for the Demon King of Night? But even so, he should leave from the Demon Clan. It's a little unreasonable to appear here."
Canxing nodded and said, "Yes... it's the biggest unreasonable thing for him to appear here. Maybe he has some other missions."
Immediately afterwards, he became serious as if he had thought of something and said, "Perhaps, he does not necessarily come to find the Night Demon. There are also scum within humans that cooperate with the demons."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart.
"Although I know that there are people doing business in the territory of the Demon Clan, and I am not opposed to doing business with the Demon Clan to obtain wealth from the Demon Clan, but if it is something harmful to the human race, then I cannot accept it at all."
There were some complicated emotions in my heart, intertwined with Nolan Lesi's reliance and righteousness, and they quietly rose up at this time.
I don’t have much identification with humans from other worlds.
But in the same way, I do not deny the resistance to the demons that has been accumulated through the resistance history of the human race in another world.
This is also the biggest reason why I can accept getting along with Nolan Lesi and the others, but I also have no sympathy for the demons - in my heart, I always think that Nolan Lesi is an alien among the demons.
I suppressed the strangeness swirling in my heart and asked, "Are there many people like this?"
"I don't know." Canxing said with a heavy face, "Maybe it is difficult for ordinary citizens to know, but there are more or less rumors about the secrets in the noble circle - although the status of the nobles is obtained by fighting against the demons, the interests of the nobles are But that may not be the case, especially in times of peace, the interests of the big nobles can be protected, but it is unknown what the small nobles will do in order to maintain their dignity and gain more wealth."
"especially······"
"Especially now that the White Empire is in civil strife." I sighed and said, "The civil strife has caused the interests of the nobles to no longer be guaranteed. The peaceful period up to now has been too long."
Canxing sighed: "The inheritance of nobles will only pass on status and wealth. The spirit or ability may not be the same as that of the ancestors."
