Lord of Scourge: Begin as a Demon Archduke

"Miss Ariel, are you an angel sent by the goddess? Praise you!"

Although most people don't know what a third-class resident is, it's better than a slave.

And being an employee of the city hall can still get a normal salary, which is simply beyond their imagination.

All of a sudden, the favorability of these residents towards Ariel and Lauren rose, and hope began to appear in the eyes that were originally dead.

The nearby residents were immediately full of envy when they heard the treatment of the construction workers, and at the same time, their own hearts became alive.

Since the city hall can hire slaves and grant them the status of third-class residents, then the great lord may not treat them the same...

Under the circumstances that Roland did not expect, the slave residents who had been lifeless had regained some vitality at this moment.

[44. Because the grades are not good, so...seek advice]

I was not very satisfied with what I wrote at the beginning. The editor said that the grades could not be improved, and gave me a lot of suggestions, asking me to change the title of the book to——

Scourge Lord: Start as a Demon Grand Duke

In addition, it may be better to add the factor of the player's fourth natural disaster.

I studied it carefully and wanted to modify the beginning. How do you feel?

The general rhythm will not change, the plot will be a little more, and then the game and player settings will be added.

I put the changed Chapter 1 below, let's see if it will be better.

Please give some advice.

Decker City, a city established on the endless wasteland 300 years ago, is the strongest city in the northern border of the Silvermoon Kingdom.

In this huge northern city, in an unremarkable hotel near the city center, a young man so handsome that one doubts whether he has elven blood was lying on the floor, dead or alive.

The young man was wearing a luxurious pure white aristocratic robe, his eyes were closed tightly, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face, as if he had died.

The culprit that caused the other party to become unconscious was the bone-piercing scar on the other party's wrist. Blood was slowly flowing from the wrist, and the smell of blood permeated the entire room.

The more intrusive picture is that the blood oozing from his wrist is being greedily sucked by the crystal ball in his hand.

A crystal ball that can swallow blood is obviously nothing extraordinary.

The scene looks very much like some greedy and ignorant nobles have cast a taboo evil secret, causing themselves to be backlashed to death...

I don't know how long it took, but the light outside the window gradually dimmed, and the room seemed to be covered with a dark gauze.

In his sleep, Luo Lun only felt a sharp pain in his wrist, as if someone stabbed him. He thought it was a dream, but the intense pain stimulated his nerves all the time, and his sleepy thoughts slowly recovered from the severe pain. .

After a long time, like pushing open a thousand-ton iron door, he finally opened his eyes after expending all his strength.

The moment he woke up, the crystal ball in his hand emitted a chaotic light, and the scar on his wrist healed strangely and quickly, leaving only a shallow mark.

The weak body made Lauren's thoughts dull, and he didn't notice this incomprehensible extraordinary phenomenon.

What came into his eyes was the ceiling above his head, which was embossed with patterns of strong religious symbols. Under the dim light, he couldn't see clearly, giving people a vague sense of confusion.

After panting for a while, he had the strength to look around.

This is a room with a strong Western European medieval style. There are faded oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides, which vaguely describe the legend of the dragon slayer who killed the dragon by knights. The surrounding antique ornaments, furniture and curtains are old but old. They also have a strong exotic flavor.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment, Luo Lun's mind is full of doubts. Isn't he playing the latest virtual game - "Apocalypse Era"?

This virtual game is the most magnificent production in recent years, costing billions of dollars, and the whole world is looking forward to the public beta of this game.

He spent a lot of money to get the internal test qualification.

Now why is it here...

I have never heard that the current virtual game can achieve such a high degree of realism.

"exit the game?"

"Well, no..."

"Where's the game board?"

"Your uncle, where is the game panel??!!"

"??!!!!!!"

Just when Lauren was in a hurry, he froze on the spot, and then there was a somewhat doubtful expression on his face.

I... crossed? !

The long memory that suddenly appeared in his mind made him fall into chaos.

Lauren Grant, the main plane of Noel, a high-ranking nobleman of the Silvermoon Kingdom—a direct descendant of the Bauhinia family.

His parents were killed three years ago in the war against the Lizardmen.

Because of this, he directly inherited his father's title of earl and became the earl of a well-born family.

Thinking of this, Luo Lun's eyes brightened, his parents died after time travel, and then he directly inherited the title... Is there such a good thing?

"But why am I here?" Lauren frowned, continuing to check his memory.

Three months ago, Lauren Grant followed the elders of the Bauhinia family to hunt an evil sacrifice, and accidentally obtained a crystal ball.

He obtained the blood of the Demon Grand Duke from the crystal ball with incredible power.

Originally thought this was an opportunity to rise, but did not expect that the reason why this crystal ball appeared in the Silver Moon Capital was that a certain powerful demon master planned to use evil sacrifices to activate the crystal ball.

And after the demon master lost the crystal ball, he appeared in the Silver Moon Capital every day for half a month to search for traces of the crystal ball, and even a legendary strong man was seriously injured by the demon master.

The entire capital is shrouded in fear.

In the face of such a terrifying enemy, in order to survive, the predecessor declared to the family to come to the northern border and become the lord of the wasteland before the blood of the demon prince had awakened.

Although it escaped the search of the demon master for a short time, it ushered in the coming of the day of natural disaster.

The bloody moon enveloped the sky, and the bloody polluters crawling out of the dimension were beyond imagination, and the weakly defended territory was directly breached.

If it weren't for the extremely powerful guardian Fianna sent to him by the family, he might have died already.

But even so, more than half of the hard work and the savings brought from the family before have been lost, and only some basic materials are left in the territory.

In order to restart the territory, the predecessor returned to Decker City from the endless wasteland, wanting to continue buying supplies.

But at this time they are penniless, so the descendants of the dignified Bauhinia family can only live in a small hotel.

"That demon master...wouldn't be the butcher Agris who controls the godhead in the background introduction of the game??

According to the background of the game, this guy has surpassed the top epic level, and he is only a little bit close to becoming a life that controls the rules..."

"I'm going to be hunted down by the demon master at the beginning?? What kind of hell difficulty is this?!"

Lauren's expression was a little ugly.

Think back immediately to the game introduction for Age of Scourge.

The game background of "Apocalypse Era" is a multi-dimensional plane, of which Noel's main plane is the most important plane, and countless races live on it.

In addition to the main plane of Nuoer, there are countless dimensional planes.

Demons are terrifying beings that live in the dimension.

But this is not the key point, what is more important is that the reason why the game is called "Apocalypse Age" is because there are real natural disasters.

There are 13 months in this world, each month has 31 days, and the last day of each month is when natural disasters come.

This day is officially called the Day of Blood by the game.

The moon in the sky will turn blood-colored, and the bloody polluters hidden in the dimensional plane will climb out of the dimensional plane to attack all human cities when the blood moon rises.

And the 13th month of each year is called the bloody moon, and the natural disasters will last for a whole month! !

When I was watching the game introduction, it was this natural disaster mode that attracted Lauren.

But now, after entering the game through time travel, he only feels that this natural disaster mode is simply an anti-human design, and that dog design should be dragged out and shot for twelve hours! !

When Lauren was deep in thought, he suddenly felt scorching energy coming from the crystal ball in his hand. Under the sting, he subconsciously let go of his hand.

Swipe~ The crystal ball flew several meters away and floated in mid-air.

A terrifying energy erupted from the crystal ball, and a beam of light brighter than the sun and the moon passed directly through the house and pierced the sky.

The soaring beam of light can be seen dozens of miles away.

A moment later, a terrifying aura like the revival of an ancient dragon enveloped the entire city of Decker.

There was a bit of horror in Lauren's eyes.

This thing is activated? ? !

The infinite light of the crystal ball began to condense suddenly. After a few breaths, the coercion disappeared from the city of Decker, forming a magic mirror like water waves on the other side of the room.

Through the magic mirror, Lauren saw a terrifying phantom.

It has black horns on its head and ferocious demon wings with barbed spines on its back, and its skin is as red as hot magma.

What is especially frightening is that the opponent's three icy blood-colored eyes are filled with endless killing intent.

At the moment that demon phantom appeared, an unspeakable and terrifying coercion made Lauren feel as if a weighing mountain had been pressed down on his body, making him unable to move at all.

This demon is really the master of demons above the epic - the butcher Argris. In the background of the game, this guy is one of the most powerful demons in "Apocalypse Age".

Three blood eyes are its signature feature.

It’s daytime Huskies, it’s too much to play this time... Do I have to cool down when I just time travel?

Lauren felt sad and angry.

"You humble ant, you stole my godhead..."

After the words fell, the illusory arm of the angry butcher Agris went directly through the magic mirror, intending to descend on the main plane.

The surrounding space rippled round and round, as if the barriers of space were about to be torn apart by him.

However, due to certain powerful rules, the opponent's energy only exists in this room, and has not attracted the attention of outsiders.

Facing such majesty, Lauren couldn't move at all, and could only watch the phantom of the other party break free from the magic mirror.

This scene made his scalp numb, and the cold sweat on his forehead wet the tips of his hair.

Once the opponent completely breaks free from the shackles of the rules and descends to the main plane, he will undoubtedly die at that time.

Just at the very moment, a mechanical reminder sounded in my ears.

"Ding~ regular energy detected—ancient god godhead.

Energy can devour..."

The notification sound of the system was like the sound of nature, which made Lauren, who had a chill down his spine, instantly ecstatic.

Demons are not accommodated by the main plane. As long as the godhead is swallowed, the demon master will be immediately expelled by the rules of the main plane.

But he was not happy for a second, the next time the system prompted him to fall into hell.

"Ding~ Can't touch the ancient god's godhead, devouring failed."

"Ding~ You need to touch the godhead of the ancient god to restart the devour."

Lauren almost swears.

playing with me! !

The crystal-clear godhead was already floating in mid-air, and the projected magic mirror was on the other side.

The phantom of the demon master coming out of the magic mirror is about four meters away from the godhead, while the crystal ball is three meters away from him.

On weekdays, these three meters are almost a blink of an eye.

But at this moment, under the pressure of the most powerful dark boss in the game, he couldn't even raise his hand.

The whole body seemed to be weighed down like a mountain.

The master of demons, the butcher Argris, looked at the immobile Lauren with three bloody eyes in contempt.

"The ants also want to spy on the treasures of the gods... who gave you the courage?"

A terrifying demonic speech that can drive mortals mad.
