*****In the ruins of a forest in the southwest****
When the Demon King witnessed with a happy expression that the Mirror of Precognition was completely destroyed by her forbidden magic, she unlocked all the magic in the room, and in an instant, the size of the space in the room returned to normal. At this moment, the wall to the left of Zhang Youji was suddenly shattered. Deguna rushed in from there, protected Zhang Youji behind her, and began to confront the Demon King. After her, three more demons came in , the three demons that had just entered stood behind the Demon King, showing that they were ready to obey the Demon King's orders at any time.
[Summoner, are you okay? ! 】
【This is my line! You only have about 40,000 HP left. By the way, aren't you already covered in wounds and even your left hand is gone? ! 】
When Zhang Youji saw Deguna who was in tatters and even her left hand was missing, he immediately took out a bunch of recovery medicine from the Book of Almighty. However, Deguna ignored his injuries and stopped Zhang Youji. With Yuji's actions, he began to alert the Demon King with all his strength. As for Belika and Liya behind Zhang Yuji, from now on, one was ready to act according to the situation, and the other was completely frozen in place, not knowing what to do.
[Summoner Lord, the important thing now is not my injury, but the demon in front of me. I thought that the strongest among them was only a high-level demon, but I didn’t expect that the legendary demon king would appear. Here, I underestimated the enemy. I wish I had let Valkyrie stay to protect the Summoner, instead of me going out to meet the enemy. 】
[Ah, there is no such thing. The 21 subordinates I brought in this time are the ones I like very much. And you who single-handedly defeated them to only 3, don’t you have the possibility of defeating me? , right, Miss Vampire Princess. 】
【Tsk! Summoner Lord, run away while I hold the Demon King down. The only one who can defeat her is Valkyrie. As long as you escape to Valkyrie]
[Deguna, please calm down first. First, I will never let my summoned beast die in exchange for my own safety. Second, if you look carefully at the current atmosphere, it is going to start a war. Atmosphere? The matter has been resolved just now. Anyway, let's cancel your skills first and call in Valkyrie and the demons outside. 】
【Why? ······Why--? ! What the hell is going on, Summoning the Lord? ! Is it really okay to remove the effect of the Shadow King? ! 】
When Deguna was ready to die and prepared to sacrifice her life to fight the Demon King and delay Zhang Youji's escape, Zhang Youji patted her on the shoulder and told her that the matter had been resolved and asked her to calm down. After Guna heard Zhang Youji's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly shouted out in surprise. She asked Zhang Youji what happened and confirmed with Zhang Youji whether she really wanted to lift the shadow covering the area.
[No problem, at least there is no fighting spirit over there anymore. Let’s wait for the details of what happened. 】
[Well, as the boy in the picture said, the 651-year contract that has bound us has been released. Now we no longer want to fight with you. Miss Vampire Queen, if possible, can you remove your ability? Because of your ability, I cannot convey the order to stop the attack to my subordinates outside. 】
【···Summoner Lord, I will confirm with you once, can it really remove the effect of the Shadow King? If it is lifted, the demons from outside will flood in like a flood. 】
[No problem, if something happens later, let’s talk about it then. 】
[Haha, don't worry, young man, and Miss Vampire Princess. After being restrained for a long time by that hateful magic mirror, we are already tired of fighting and other things. Now that the restraint has been released, we just want to find a quiet place. place, and then just live there quietly like that. Well, if you think about it, it might be good to return to the demon world that you have missed for a long time. 】
[···It seems that he really has no intention of fighting at all. Summon Lord, just in case, don’t stay too far away from me when I unlock the effect of the King of Shadows. 】
[I know, by the way, are you in a state of poverty now? ! Hurry up and drink some healing potion. Here it is. I'll drink all this. 】
Because Zhang Yuji thought it was troublesome, she wanted to wait until Valkyrie arrived to finish it all at once. After listening to Zhang Yuji's words, Deguna took a closer look at the Demon King's performance, and then seriously confirmed with Zhang Yuji again. Is it really necessary to remove the effect of [King of Shadows]? When Deguna heard Zhang Youji's answer, she felt a little uneasy. However, after she heard what the Demon King said with a very calm expression, she confirmed that the Demon King When Wang completely lost his will to fight, he agreed to untie the shadow covering the area to prevent others from invading. At the same time, Deguna was force-fed a bunch of recovery medicine by Zhang Youji.
By the way, after Deguna drank those recovery medicines, her injuries healed at a ridiculous speed, including her missing left hand.
After Deguna unlocked the effect of [King of Shadows], Zhang Youji went out from the wall that she had broken. When he came outside the room, he found that except for the room where he was just now, the entire house had been transformed. It is a stone ruin. As for the outside of the house, even the terrain has changed. The forest around the house no longer exists. The scenery near the house has become a wilderness of pits. Under the moonlight, Zhang Youji saw this scenery. , involuntarily covered his head.
After Zhang Youji came out the Demon King and Deguna, as well as Belika and the 3 demons who were supporting Liya, plus 2 floating soul-eating books. Everyone except the 2 books made their own noises. Sighing, Liya almost fainted because she was a little too surprised. After all, in addition to the drastically changed scenery in front of her, there were also Valkyries holding divine swords and exuding the light of sacred magic, and about 100 others exuding the light of black magic. The demons on both sides moved towards this side at extremely fast speeds, and the scene was very spectacular.
The first one to arrive here was Valkyrie. The moment she arrived, she inserted herself between Zhang Youji and the Demon King. She inserted the divine sword on the ground, then put her hands on the hilt of the sword, and then stopped. The effect of [Magic Fighting] put away the huge pure white magic light emitted, but she did not stop the [Compression] skill. Now Valkyrie's body exudes a very sacred and solemn atmosphere, and she This is how he confronted the Demon King.
However, the Demon King just smiled at Valkyrie, and then turned his back to her to stop his subordinates. Zhang Youji also began to tell Valkyrie and Deguna about the prophetic mirror and the forced contract. After the two knew When I understood the cause and effect of this incident, I couldn't help but sympathize with the demons who had been used as props by the precognitive mirror for more than 651 years.
[Recalling when I responded to the summons, I suddenly had the feeling that it was great to be summoned by the summoner. If I had met a self-righteous summoner, I would be scared just thinking about it now. 】
[Deguna, with your ability, even if you encounter that kind of summoning master, you can kill it. However, summoning master, please be sure to take this matter as a warning, and be careful not to be fooled by what you are doing now. The power held confuses the mind. 】
[Don’t worry, I have no chance of doing that kind of thing in my life. Besides, now I just want to live freely in this world with my favorite friends and family, and even if one day I get lost When I walked in the direction, you were still there. I am not alone now, right? 】
[Oh, it is really an innocent and simple wish. If I had listened to what I just said, I would have regarded the boy as a boring person. However, now I am a little envious of those who have pure wishes. Where are the people? What's the matter, boy? 】
When Valkyrie, Deguna, and Belika, who was supporting Liya behind Zhang Youji, were all stunned after hearing Zhang Youji's words, just a few seconds later, the three of them showed their faces to Zhang Youji together. It was a smile in response to what he just said. When the Demon King saw Zhang Youji who had just said those words with a smile, he couldn't help but talk to Zhang Youji, but Zhang Youji looked at him with apologetic eyes for some reason. Demon King.
【···Speaking of which, Valkyrie and Deguna must have defeated many of your retinues. 】
[Ah, what did I think it was? If it’s just this, don’t worry about it. Indeed, my subordinates were beaten back a lot by two people. Although some of them were seriously injured, they are all still alive. , I had ordered them before the war started, to prioritize my own survival and hold the enemy back without dying. I didn’t want to use them like props like the magic mirror. 】
[I see, that’s fine. I don’t want to fight you in the second round. By the way, what are you going to do after this? 】
[...Yes, I haven't thought about it yet. After all, this result is too sudden for us. Although the devil can't sleep, it feels like a dream now, because in 651 The resentment was solved by the boy at once. If you insist on your future plan, it is to find an unknown place to live in seclusion. Then this time I will ask the question, boy, what are you planning to do after this? ? 】
[Well..., first of all, immediately throw the weak-legged curly hair back to the capital, and then continue the journey to find the Elf Kingdom. Although I say that, it is already night, anyway, it is better to find a place to sleep first. Bar. 】
[Haha, then as an apology for attacking the boy, let me tell him a good thing. In fact, the underground of this house is the stronghold of the magic mirror. All the treasures it has accumulated are in this stronghold. We don’t need it anyway. Let's just give them all to the boys. Besides, this is also the place where we have been imprisoned for 651 years. Although we cannot prepare food or other things to eat, there are a lot of top-grade beddings. As an apology, at least let us entertain the boys. Late. 】
After that, Zhang Youji and the others, who decided to accept the Demon King's kindness, were taken by the Demon King to the underground of this house, or ruins, because the underground entrance was very cleverly hidden, and there were several layers of illusion and confusion on the entrance. The magic of the house prevented Valkyrie from discovering it when he hurriedly checked the house. As for the underground structure, it was very simple.
After going down the stairs about 5 meters, there is a wide room. There are 201 coffins in this wide room. Although devils cannot sleep, they always have a place to rest when they are injured, so this wide room belongs to the devils. Residence.
There are two doors in front of this wide room. On the left is where the Precognitive Mirror lives. After entering, there is a corridor with several guest rooms on both sides and a lot of furniture inside. At the end of the corridor is the room where the Precognitive Mirror lives. , there were a lot of very strange things in it, so Zhang Youji asked Valkyrie and Deguna to search, but they didn't find anything useful. As for Liya, Belika helped her to a dormitory to rest. .
When Zhang Youji took Valkyrie and Deguna and prepared to follow the Demon King to the treasure house on the right, Belika walked out of Liya's room. In order to prevent there being too many things in the treasure house, Zhang Youji only The Almighty Book couldn't fit in the [storage space], so I asked Belika to go with him. The result was very correct. The first thing I saw when I came to the treasure house was the mountain of [Crystal Coins]. Crystal coins are coins that are more valuable than gold coins. Their ratio is 1:10. Then there are a bunch of cabinets about 4 meters high around them, which contain various weapons, armors, and props that look very precious. When Deguna and Belika saw this scene, they were instantly petrified in a sense.
When Zhang Youji and the others searched the treasure house completely, it was already around 12:20 midnight. The Demon King noticed that Zhang Youji was starting to feel sleepy, so he led them back to the guest room area on the left, because There were only two beds in one room. Although I had reconciled with the Demon King, he was still a demon after all, so the most basic caution was still needed. There was some quarrel when discussing who should share a room with Zhang Youji as a bodyguard. , but it soon became quiet. It seemed that Belika had something to say to Valkyrie, so the room allocation became one room for Zhang Youji and Deguna, one room for Valkyrie and Belika, and Liya was alone. one.
At about 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, Zhang Youji suddenly felt an ominous breath in his sleep. After he suddenly opened his eyes, he found that Deguna was breathing heavily in front of him. Zhang Youji Upon seeing this, he kicked Deguna off his bed without saying a word, then took out the rope from the Book of Almighty, tied up Deguna, and threw her to the wall. Then in order to change her mood, she I put on my shoes and walked outside.
[Alas, I actually forgot about the possibility of Deguna's night attack. Thanks to her, I can't sleep at all now. 】
[Oh, isn’t this a young man? What are you doing here without going to bed so late? If you are admiring the scenery in the night sky, just pretend that I have not asked. After all, the time now is very suitable for admiring the moonlight. 】
[I have no interest in admiring the moon, I just have ordinary insomnia...but speaking of it, I have never taken a good look at the moon in this world. 】
[Haha, let’s take a good look at it. The moon in this world is very beautiful at this time. In the 651 years that I have been under the control of the magic mirror, my only freedom is to admire the moon... No matter it is When has the moon been so white? By the way, the boy is from a different world, right? Is the moon in the boy's world also like this? 】
[Well, it’s almost the same as the moon in this world. There’s nothing special about it. The only difference is that it’s much brighter and has more stars. 】
When Zhang Youji walked out of the underground and came to the ruins, the Demon King suddenly spoke to Zhang Youji. After she knew that Zhang Youji had insomnia and could not sleep, she accompanied him to admire the moon and chatted about some topics. But during this period, Zhang Youji discovered that the expression on the Demon King's face had not changed.
[But seriously, what are you going to do in the future? The expression on your face is that of not knowing what to do. 】
[···Haha, it’s undeniable. If the devil wants to stay in the human world, he must have a contractor. When the contract is lost or the contract is reached, he must return to the devil world within 3 days, otherwise he will be recruited. Humans and gods are wanted because the power of demons is too strong. Even the lowest level demons are above level 100, so it goes without saying that I and my subordinates have become the demon king. 】
[In this case, it won’t be over if you go back to the Demon Realm. You don’t have to stay here, right? 】
[If I were just a high-ranking demon, I would return to the demon world without hesitation, but as the demon king, if I return to the demon world, I think the balance of forces in the demon world will be disrupted, causing disputes. I I'm tired of those boring things. Having said that, if you stay in the human world, you will be hunted down again. Well, in the future, just take it one step at a time, and sooner or later you will come up with a way to deal with it. 】
[In the end, it’s better to play it by ear... Well, in this case, do you want to sign a contract with me? 】
After the Demon King confessed his situation, Zhang Youji scratched his head helplessly, then sighed, and asked the Demon King if he wanted to sign a contract with him. After hearing Zhang Youji's words, the Demon King showed a surprised look. expression, but Zhang Youji ignored the Demon King's face that wanted to say something, and began to use his contract technique. He spent 200,000 MP to make a superior contract. After setting the conditions, he used this blue blue The contract was handed to the Demon King.
By the way, there are only three conditions in the contract. The first is that the contract holder must prepare a place for the signer to live, and the second is that the signer cannot attack the contract holder or anyone he considers a friend. , family members, and summoned beasts, but exceptions can be made under special circumstances. The third one is that when modifying the contract, the consent of the signer must be obtained before the modification can be started. What follows are some automatically generated basic conditions.
【Why? ···, boy, are you really okay? If you sign a contract with me as the Demon King, it will involve a lot of trouble. And is it really okay to sign a contract with the above conditions? 】
[It doesn’t matter, anyway, because of the effect of my skills, even if I don’t cause any trouble, I will come to you on my own. As of now, I don’t care if there are a few more troubles. I just want to find a way to solve it with everyone. 】
【···Hehehe, the boy is indeed a very interesting person. Well, in this case, I will accept the boy's kindness. Ah, since I want to sign a contract, I should change my name to the contract owner. In return, , From now on, if the contract owner has any difficulties, please feel free to tell me. 】
When the Demon King repeatedly asked Zhang Youji whether he really wanted to sign a contract with him, Zhang Youji answered the Demon King without hesitation. When she heard Zhang Youji's answer, she hesitated for a moment, but she quickly accepted it from Zhang Youji. The contract, then laughed a few times, put his finger on the contract, and injected his own MP into the contract. At the same time, black magic appeared on Zhang Youji's body, and the magic began to slowly seep into it. When Zhang Youji felt that there seemed to be something in his status bar, he suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness.
[Well, by the way, are these black magic powers in me a blessing from you? It feels like there is something extra in the status bar. Alas, I suddenly feel sleepy for some reason. 】
[Contractor, this is a phenomenon of overwork that occurs when you consume too much MP. Hmm, are you confused already? I have no choice but to talk to the contractor about the name tomorrow morning. Haha, what will I get? What a name...but I will be the one to sign the contract this time. Things in this world are really unpredictable. 】
In this way, the Demon King sent Zhang Youji, who was slightly confused, to the underground guest room and helped him onto the bed. Because the Demon King didn't know how Zhang Youji and the others assigned the room, he took Zhang Youji to the guest room closest to the entrance. , when she confirmed that Zhang Youji was asleep, she quietly left the room and began to look forward to the naming the next morning and her new residence in the future.
