Don't confiscate my citizenship

In the Regency Hall of the Royal Palace, criss-crossing light beams poured down from the wall lamps, illuminating this demonic palace built in ancient times.

On the high platform opposite to where the nobles and ministers were sitting was the throne of the princess, and not far from the throne stood the fallen Lord Kaliela.

Princess Hyperion sat quietly next to Kaliela, and then said nothing.

It is obvious that Qing Luo is the real talker today.

The other demons at the table were in awe of Lord Fallen, and now they also showed respect to Hyperion.

Her performance a week ago was really hard for the demons to see through.

All demons are careful not to trigger her displeasure.

As the current leader of the demon world, Kaliela is also the only ninth-level civil servant besides the generals of the first and second armies. Just standing there exudes an aura that makes other demons fearful.

There seemed to be a faint smile on her face, but there was not much interest in her eyes.

Today she is only responsible for leading the process of the ceremony to proceed smoothly according to the rules. If everything goes well, she will not take any action, but if anyone violates the rules of the demon world, she will definitely kill them.

Hyperion looked to the other side of the meeting hall. On the fan-shaped seats, celebrities from the devil world were constantly present.

From the far right side of her gaze, Lan Qi seemed to be held in high esteem by the stars, and all the demons who knew him would come over to chat with him.

Hyperion didn't understand.

How is it that this guy can become a core character in a new environment in just a few days every time he arrives in a new environment, and he integrates perfectly?

If it weren't for the fact that Lan Qi was a man, Hyperion would have suspected that he was the Princess of Ten Thousand Demons who was truly loved by the demons.

Until a while later.

The demons surrounding Lan Qi gradually dispersed, and a figure walking straight over seemed to separate the atmosphere from the demons.

I saw that this demon had blazing dark brown eyes and hair. He was tall and dressed as neatly as a knight.

The demon nobles who were originally chatting with Lan Qi also wisely made room and did not disturb the private chat between the great demon general and McCarthy.

"My dear friend, you are here so early."

Thunder Lord Gareth stepped forward and sat on the seat next to Lan Qi.

At this moment, Lei Mingqing and McCarthy are both sitting on the far right side of the fan-shaped seat, closer to the princess's throne, while the Fallen Lord's confidants like Miwu Qing and Zhen Yeqing are sitting on the other side of the fan-shaped seat on the far left, also close to the princess' throne. .

Only the vampire envoy in the middle of the fan-shaped seat is facing the throne and the furthest away from the throne.

"Gareth, do you like me so much? You found me as soon as you came here."

Lan Qi looked at the great demon Lord Lei Ming next to him with a full smile.

"yes."

Lei Mingqing sat with his back straight and his hands on his knees. He nodded solemnly and respectfully, not minding McCarthy's joke at all.

Since his cousin Tia introduced him last time, he has also become acquainted with this wealthy demon businessman.

Maybe it was a rare demon with both thunder and light attributes. He was naturally quite close to this demon. Of course, the main reason was that he admired him very much.

In this demonic world where materialism is rampant and corrupt, Lei Mingqing sees too much the aristocratic lords who are supreme in profit and power. Once a war breaks out, they will surely hold back the front line from behind.

Lei Mingqing is convinced that the final battle between the demon world and the blood clan is only a matter of time.

Having personally experienced the first war with the Vampires, Lei Mingqing, as a survivor, knew very well that the Vampires were a group of ambitious people, and the peace talks with the Vampires were just to wait for the opportunity.

Originally, Lei Mingqing had to go to see the wealthy businessman McCarthy, hoping to win his support for the Nokta family and the Sixth Army in the future.

Unexpectedly, there is a demon like McCarthy who is in a high position but can still maintain his true heart and not be devoured by desire.

The other party seemed to be a demon who had survived the war. They talked about the conspiracy of the vampires many years ago, about the smoke and frustration on the battlefield, and about the current situation in the northern continent.

Lei Mingqing only felt that he had found a confidant.

As the general of the Sixth Army of the Demon World, he rarely met a radical demon rich man like McCarthy.

They share the same dream of the demon world and an unwavering enemy.

Thunder Lord Gareth thought to himself, and gradually looked towards the farthest end of the hall from the throne, which was also facing the direction of the vampire envoy.

In addition to several vampire barons and viscounts who followed, the leader was the ancestor of the vampire clan.

The vampire sitting at the front has long white hair and ruby-like eyes. He is restrained and seems to have no desires or desires.

Unlike other vampires, there seems to be no danger in him, and his existence itself is like a natural work of art.

The ancestor of the blood clan whom Lei Mingqing was looking at at this moment seemed to have noticed Lei Mingqing's gaze and gave him a gentle and polite smile.

"The power of the Tenth Ancestor Ulises [Creation of Blood] can make the products he writes appear in a short time. He can quickly create a large number of summons according to the situation, which is not easy to deal with."

Lei Mingqing looked at the tenth ancestor with some hostility in his eyes. He quickly looked away and said to Lan Qi beside him,

"More importantly, his look is very special. It may be very troublesome to be an enemy with him."

Lei Mingqing frowned slightly, evaluating the tenth ancestor who was destined to become their demon enemy.

To be precise, Gareth had only seen the look in the eyes of the tenth ancestor Ulisses on one demon.

"Is his look special?"

Lan Qi asked curiously.

He had heard Pranay say that the general-level demons were comparable to cardinals, and it would be no problem to fight three to four ordinary eighth-level demons.

For Lei Mingqing to make such an evaluation, the tenth ancestor might be strong enough to give the cardinal a headache.

"Same as you, but a little different. I can't tell the specific difference."

Lei Mingqing looked into Lan Qi's eyes and said.

It was precisely because he knew how unpredictable the owner of the emerald green eyes in front of him was that he found it difficult to deal with enemies who also had such eyes.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Lan Qi covered his mouth slightly and said in surprise.

"..."

Lei Mingqing was silent for a moment.

He understood what was different.

"But it's daytime now, and the vampires don't dare to fight us in the hinterland of the demon world, otherwise they are destined to be unable to escape Nekaris."

Lord Thunder Gareth added.

"After all, under the sun, the ninth-level ancestor will be weakened to the eighth-level level."

Lan Qi counted on his fingers.

According to the ninth level domain that Sigrid described to him, a ninth level requires at least three eighth-level bishops to stop it, and a bishop can defeat three towers. If the nine-level conversion is almost converted, it is the combat power of nine towers and above. .

But under the sun the Vampires will be weakened to one tenth.

So if it were daytime, Tata might even be able to defeat a ninth-level vampire.

"But the power of the fourth ancestor Eduardo has always been mysterious."

Lei Mingqing continued to speak, his eyes briefly moved to the fourth ancestor Eduardo behind the tenth ancestor Ulises, his expression became much more fearful.

The fourth ancestor was wearing a simple vampire robe, as motionless as a sleeping stone statue, or maybe there was no demon worthy of his direct gaze except for the Fallen Lord Kaliela.

When he sat there, the invisible pressure emanating from his body only made the creatures looking at him feel humble and helpless, as if once the fourth ancestor made a slight movement, all the sense of stability would tremble because of him.

"As a vampire sage, he has an unfathomable number of spells. There are many theories as to which one is his power, but no one can determine what the vampire power of the fourth ancestor Eduardo is."

Thunder Lord Gareth and Lan Qi were talking.

"[Infinite Blood]."

Lan Qi muttered to himself.

"What did you say?"

Lei Mingqing looked at Lan Qi in confusion.

"nothing."

Lan Qi shook his head nonchalantly and smiled.

He knew that the fourth ancestor Eduardo could copy the power of any vampire by obtaining the blood of his own clan, but it was a slightly weakened version.

Coupled with his own spell library as a vampire sage, his fighting methods are unpredictable, making it difficult to target him, but it is easy for him to target his opponents.

If this power is explained in detail, the demons may not necessarily believe it, let alone verify it. Instead, they will ask him where he got it.

It doesn't matter whether Lei Mingqing believes it or not. What's important is that it's difficult to make Luo Qing believe it. Once Luo Qing becomes suspicious, it will be very troublesome. She may try to use illusions to enter your memory world and search your past.

The power of the fourth ancestor is itself ever-changing and impossible to deal with. Even if Lan Qi knew what the power was, he could not guess which vampire's power the fourth ancestor Eduardo was carrying at the moment.

Time passed by in the Regency Hall.

The hour hand gradually moved towards nine o'clock when the reservation for the ceremony officially started.

"..."

Hyperion sat calmly on the majestic throne, looking at the many demons gathered in the seats in the hall, and was no longer as afraid of anything as she was at first.

Her amber pupils no longer pretended to be human, but restored the most realistic eyes of a demon.

Although she didn't stare at Lan Qi deliberately, she only glanced at Lan Qi occasionally and knew that the person beside Lan Qi was Thunder Lord Gareth.

Their relationship is as good as Ranchi and Pranay.

Seeing how intimate these two were, Hyperion couldn't help but think to herself: Shall I go?

"Your Highness, you finally put my mind at ease."

A female voice came from behind, without much ups and downs.

Hyperion turned her cheek and looked at her.

The seemingly gentle Fallen Lady Kaliera still looks like Thalia, her eyes are calm but profound, as if she can understand everything.

Even if Hyperion had the slightest idea of ​​leaving here just now, Kaliela caught him.

However, Fallen Lord Kaliela also discovered that the princess did not really want to escape.

"Who do you think will win?"

Qing Luo, who rarely had anything to do, asked the princess a question.

"..."

Hyperion didn't answer.

"It seems that you already have the answer in your heart, Your Highness Princess."

Fallen Lord Kaliera smiled.

She is more optimistic about Zhen Yeqing, but Miwu Qing also has hope. As long as they can defeat the tenth ancestor, everything will be stable.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are masters and big demons hidden in this hall.

If you don't actively use the pressure of the big demon to threaten the opponent at close range, it will not resonate with the big demon.

But even if the demon world has declined a little now, she will not be reduced to the point where she has to be helped by the great demons of other eras.

Outside the Regency Hall, the hour hand of the clock tower of Nekalis Palace pointed to nine o'clock, and the bells rang.

At this moment, every heavy knock was like the echo of waves running through the city of Naikalis, causing ripples in the calm hall.

All the discussions gradually fell silent, and the demons focused their attention on the high platform in the center.

There, the royal ceremony to determine the princess's ownership is about to officially begin.

The bell ended, and in the solemn silence, the Fallen Lord Kaliela took a step forward.

The eyes of all the powerful people in the demon world were all focused on Luo Qing.

Although there is no magic pressure on her body, her presence is extremely strong, and her face alone is enough to make the demons temporarily stunned.

"Theoretically, I need to introduce today's rules again, but I think all distinguished guests who come here know what the rules are, so I won't go into details. There is only one thing -"

Fallen Minister Kaliera spoke the following content in an unchanging tone, with a voice without much emotion, and every word was clearly audible in the Regency Hall.

"In order to ensure the fairness of this ceremony and meet the princess's initial demands, Her Royal Highness will only choose among the highest-grade paintings. After the princess makes her choice, I will confirm whether the author of the painting complies. If there is any If the identity is inconsistent, the time is not completed within the specified week, etc., the qualification will be excluded.”

Similarly, the gold cabinet cannot be opened by any method at the set time. Even the ninth level of the most aggressive attack requires a lot of effort to force it open.

Now it's finally time to unseal it.

"Okay, let's begin."

As the Fallen Lord Kaliela finished speaking, he raised his palm, and the sealed golden cabinet of the demon clan's secret treasure located under the steps in front of the throne began to be twisted and unsealed.

The eyes of the demon clan's dignitaries are full of expectation and curiosity, and they continue to cast their eyes on this sacred object of the demon world.

This famous secret treasure cabinet in the Demon World is a masterpiece carefully crafted by ancient demon craftsmen in the Demon World. It is about the height of an adult demon. It is a deep dark gold color as a whole and is covered with reliefs of mythical beasts from the Demon World thousands of years ago.

The intricate magic circle seal core on the top of the cabinet ensures the safety of the secret treasures in the gold cabinet and maintains its quality for a long time.

Drawn by the magic power of Fallen Lord Kaliera, the golden cabinet began to emit a halo. The cabinet door slowly opened, and pure magic power filled the entire hall.

The protected drawing board emerged from the golden cabinet, suspended in mid-air, keeping a certain distance from the princess in the order of queue, waiting to be appreciated by her.

"The first painting to be dropped will be at the bottom of the gold cabinet, and the top painting will be the last work to be dropped into the gold cabinet."

Luo Qing explained, and flicked his fingers to unlock the seal of the first painting, and suddenly a burst of unknown brilliance bloomed on the dark gray painting board.
