The Path of the Master's Development

When Isaac returned home, he first threw the crystal dragon to the demon dragon of hell, and spent a little time appeasing His Excellency the demon dragon, who was infatuated with nymphomaniacs every day, before returning impatiently to his room.

Lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, Lain Tuanzi seemed to be emitting warm light all over his body in the eyes of the demon youth. Seeing Isaac's heart itching, he wished to hug him, but he was worried that he would wake up his sweetheart, so he could only be cautious in the end. He flew to Rein's side and landed gently, holding Xiaotuanzi in his arms.

Just as he was dreaming the sweet dream of the beauty (Tuanzi) in his arms, a loud sob pulled him back from the haze.

——Which unlucky ghost is it? !He was clearly about to fall asleep!

Isaac suddenly turned over and sat up, staring blankly at the three-headed Orlando who was crying in front of him with snot and tears.

—Is he dreaming?

——Why didn't I dream of Lein but of Orlando?

Just as he was thinking this way, the person in front of him suddenly turned into a five-year-old Rein, with sparkling tears in his blue eyes, like a bright lake.

"... Nadia?"

Isaac frowned and guessed, but the dream did not fluctuate at all, indicating that it was not a dream prepared for him by the succubus.

"...You should change back."

The black-haired young man didn't like others borrowing Rein's image, which made the possessive demons feel very upset.

So not long after, the dream has become a little red-haired dumpling holding his hand and walking in the huge underground labyrinth of the Demon King City.

- the front is...

After Isaac realized the opponent's destination, he shook off the opponent's hand and stopped.

"Who are you?" He looked at him warily.

The red-haired group stood not far away, looking at Isaac quietly, neither answering nor urging.

But Isaac could clearly see a viscous darkness surging under the shadow of the man in his dream. In that darkness, it seemed that countless eyes were staring at him, and he couldn't move because of the creepy feeling of nausea.

The red-haired dumpling, who borrowed the image of Orlando, suddenly grinned at Isaac.

He turned his head, walked forward slowly, and put his hand on the door at the end of the underground corridor of Demon King City.

Isaac knew what he was going to do.

—he was going to open that door.

"No!" Isaac growled in a low voice, but his feet seemed to be nailed in place, and he couldn't move for half a step.

The door was pushed open a crack.

The black anger that Isaac once felt turned into solid mud and rolled out, instantly drowning the person who opened the door.

A somewhat familiar voice came from the mud.

"What are you afraid of, fearless dragon king?"

"Isn't the abyss that gave birth to you darker than this? Isn't your true power stronger than this?"

"What are you afraid of, Silviathan?"

A small figure floated out of the mud, like the three-headed Orlando made of black mud, and after a closer look, it looked like Isaac himself standing in front of the door.

"You're afraid that something inside will ruin the world."

The little Isaac made of black mud spoke.

"You really like this world so much?"

"Your ministers are now driven by those humanoid races. There are only three of your dragons left. The monsters and mythical beasts that used to be prominent are now facing the crisis of extinction—how glorious you were in the past, How bleak it is now!"

The little Isaac melted into the black mud in an instant. The black filth only slightly covered Isaac's ankles, but it changed into various shapes in front of him.

The Dragon King died, the Dragon Clan died, and the divine beasts and monsters died one after another.

"There is clearly a hatred hidden in your heart, why don't you release it?"

Dark and deep voices seemed to be everywhere, and Isaac's hands were also entangled in the black mud that climbed up at some point.

"It's ridiculous that the most powerful existence in this world is bound by parents, friends, etc.—" The voice paused maliciously in his ear, and suddenly rose strangely, "No, No no...those things can't restrain the ruthless Dragon King...the real Dragon King Sylviathan."

Suddenly a human figure appeared from the black mud, which looked exactly like Isaac. He reached out and touched Isaac's heart.

"Let me see, what makes you rather give up the power of your hand, and be willing to be a little demon."

Isaac's heart sank, and the other party had already spoken again.

"...Line?"

"Line Felix."

The first sound was a question, but the second sound was a definite ridicule.

The manipulator of the dream suddenly shrieked in Isaac's ear.

"Hahaha! Love!"

That voice said "Love" like it was talking about the most insignificant garbage in the world.

"Will the Dragon King also have love?"

The black mud Isaac suddenly approached Isaac, the face so close that the demon youth could even see the filth flowing on his face, and of course he did not miss the sarcastic expression.

"How pitiful, the single word 'love' has helped human beings tie down the most powerful existence since the beginning of the world!"

The black mud Isaac took a few steps back, and a dragon gun suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Quickly give up that hypocritical thing..."

The dangerous, frantic voice made the hairs on Isaac's back stand on end.

"Otherwise, one day, your love will kill him!"

The dragon gun in the hands of the black mud Isaac suddenly pierced another human figure that floated up from the side - the hands and feet were twisted weirdly, the head was distorted aside, only the face was familiar to Isaac... that was Rein The look of death!

※※※

"Line!"

In the dimly lit room, Isaac's eyes opened suddenly, and the purple in his eyes was like flowing crystals and burning flames, dazzlingly bright.

He was short of breath, and his back was almost drenched in cold sweat.But these Isaacs are out of control, he just hurriedly looked down at his side, eager to confirm the existence of Rein.

To his surprise, the little blond ball disappeared, replaced by a normal-sized Rein, as if some kind of magic was suddenly released, and even the clothes returned to normal size.

Awakened by Isaac's movement, the blond young man rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed, and mumbled, "Isaac?"

Isaac hugged him tightly.

Rein blinked, and seemed to finally realize that he had transformed back—this shrinkage was originally a sequela of the crystal dragon replacement magic, and it would return to normal when the time came, so Rein was not surprised, but it was Isaac's situation that made him a little worried.

Rhine reached out and patted Isaac's back lightly, comforting the restless lover like a child.

"Isaac, what's the matter? Did you have a nightmare?"

"……Um."

"What kind of dream?"

Isaac was silent for a while, then whispered, "I forgot."

Rein knew in his heart that Isaac didn't want to bring it up, so he didn't ask any more, but silently comforted him, trying to convey his tenderness to his body that was trembling slightly due to the nightmare.

"Line." Isaac hugged the person in his arms even harder, "Don't leave me."

In the dimness, Rein's face flushed for a while.

"Okay, I won't leave you. Go on to sleep, I will still be here when I wake up."

Isaac fell down with Rein in his arms, closed his eyes obediently, and his breathing gradually became even.

Rein was trapped between his arms by Isaac. Although he felt a little shy, considering Isaac's unrest just now, he finally fell asleep in such an awkward position.

When Rein gradually fell asleep, Isaac's purple eyes lit up again in the room.

The eyes of the demons can see clearly even at night. He stared at Rein's sleeping face, feeling inexplicable fear after another in his heart.

——That was not because he was afraid that Rein would die because of him.

In other words, it was precisely because he realized that he was not afraid of this that he felt even more frightened.

He is suspicious.

After that dream, after the meeting with Orlando, and through the experience of the human world—Isaac realized as if he suddenly woke up from a big dream that he seemed to be walking on a road that had been drawn from a long time ago. paved road.

The magic stick may interpret it as fate, but Isaac thinks it is a plan from a long time ago.

He was accepted as the heir by the Christopher family, he came to the human world, he entered George's mage money-making school, he met Rein...

All kinds, all kinds, it was like a hand twisted these threads together a long time ago, weaving them into a net, binding him and everyone in the net.

This feeling frightened him.

——Why does he love someone so obsessively, his heart moves for him, and his principles revolve around him, as if there is no one else in the world except him?

——Is that feeling really real?Is that really his, Isaac Christopher's, emotion from the heart, rather than the feeling of being manipulated by someone?

Rein in his arms seemed to move unsteadily, and Isaac immediately closed his eyes, and gradually opened them again until the man regained his steady breathing.

He carefully hugged the person in his arms, not wanting to let go, but also somewhat terrified where did this feeling come from.

Could it be that this feeling evaporates in the sunlight like the morning dew as soon as I wake up from the dream?

I didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, Isaac sneaked into his mother's garden with dark circles under his eyes, only to find that his father was also up early and was...watering the flowers...

——Why do you feel that the painting style is not right every time you see your father?

"Did you sleep well?" Robert felt the breath of his son behind him, and asked directly without looking back.

Isaac watched his father conscientiously take care of the flowers that his mother planted on a whim - obviously his mother only had 3 minutes of heat, and ignored them after planting, but his father still took care of them himself, never pretending to others.

So I couldn't help asking: "Father, how can you be sure that you really love my mother?"

Robert has raised his son to such a big age, and he has never been asked such... nasty questions by his son.

At least the questions his son asked him in the past were quite strange, such as: Dad, how many paladins have you beat up, how many races have you robbed the treasury of the race... and so on.

Of course, since his son entered the second stage of middle school, he has never asked him any questions, and he is always a stinking old man.

So Robert put down the tool in his hand, turned around and looked at his son seriously for a while, and after confirming that it was really his son who hadn't been dropped, he said strangely, "Why are you asking this question?"

It was rare for Isaac to hem and haw in front of his father to analyze the problem that made him sleepless all night, but he got a contemptuous look from his father.

"I thought you went to the human world to practice, why did you become more stupid?" said the head of the house, No. 1 recognized by Christopher's family.

"Did they force you to go to that school? It's because you don't want to go home and take my place!"

"Have you been forced to like Rein? You can also choose Xiluta. I think that kid is also infatuated with you."

"Also, when your mother and I took you in, I really didn't know what reincarnation you were. Your mother saw a bush of flowers on the side of the road, and when I dug it back, I found you by the way—well, it's over there That clump, if it hadn't caught your mother's eyes, you wouldn't know where it is now."

Robert crackled and scolded his son, and immediately felt much refreshed.

——What Dragon King was reincarnated... My son didn't allow me to teach him a lesson?

He really didn't think so much back then, so he said it with a clear conscience.

As for whether the child's mother thinks about it... Well, the father said: He doesn't know, most of the time he can't guess what the child's mother is thinking.

——Who said that the current Grand Duke Christophe is only worth the force and has no brains?

Isaac: "..."

Robert glanced at the flowers behind Isaac, and said meaningfully: "It's strange that you worry about your feelings, every hairy boy who has just caught his sweetheart will worry about whether the future will be the same as the present." Same. You are so worried about gains and losses, doesn't it just mean that you like him so much that you want to spend the rest of your life with him?"

"Although I really never thought that my daughter-in-law is a man, it's okay if you like it. Anyway, it would be nice to bring another one back as an inheritance when the time comes."

As a successful practitioner of "bringing one back to be the heir", Robert's words are particularly convincing.

Isaac took a deep breath and let it out slowly, as if vomiting out the black mud in his dream, his chest was peaceful.

"...Dad didn't expect you to be powerful sometimes, and you really look like a lover!"

"What do you mean I didn't expect me to be powerful? You didn't know where I was when I chased your mother!" Robert was strongly dissatisfied with his son's disrespect for him, and waved his fist to make the brat wait for him!

But Isaac waved his hand away long ago.

Robert watched the back of his son disappear around the corner, and suddenly turned his head and said to the other side: "My son was probably too smart when he was young, so his brain is a little hard to use when he grows up, don't mind."

Lein blushed and came out from behind the flowers.

——It was the first time for him to do this kind of eavesdropping, but he really didn't mean it.

Woke up early in the morning and didn't see Isaac. He was a little worried about the state of the demon youth last night, so he ran out to find someone. He didn't expect to meet Isaac and Robert talking about this aspect. Things, let him go out is not, turn back is not.

I wanted to wait until both of them left before leaving, but in the end I was called out by Robert.

Grand Duke Christopher looked at his "daughter-in-law" and blinked suddenly, and asked curiously: "If my son asks you, how do you plan to answer?"

"I don't know what I like or don't like." Rein shook his head, "I just know, follow my heart."

There was no hesitation in his sapphire eyes.

He doesn't reject what Isaac did to him, and his heart also wants to be with Isaac all the time. If that's what he likes, he likes Isaac.

As for whether this relationship has already been arranged, Rein doesn't care very much. He believes in the existence of fate, and he also believes in his own heart.

The strongest synonym of hell, Duke Christopher, laughed a few times: "No wonder Isa likes you, you look honest, but you are smarter than my stupid son."

"?" Several question marks silently floated above Rein's head.

But Robert didn't answer what he meant, pointed to the direction his son left, and continued to serve his wife's beloved flowers and plants.

Isaac, who had cleared his mind, returned to the room but did not see Rein, and immediately turned around to look for someone, but saw Rein walking slowly from the direction he came from.

Thinking of Robert's strange face when he answered his question again, Isaac was startled, and realized that Rein might have heard the conversation between him and his father, so his face inevitably became very exciting.

Here, Rein is still ashamed because he accidentally overheard the conversation between Isaac and Robert.

So the two looked at each other in silence for a while, and at the same time they spoke——

"Lein, I didn't mean that!"

"I didn't mean to listen."

……

The two laughed at the same time, and Isaac stepped forward in two steps in three steps. Although he didn't think about what to say for a while, he held on to Rein's hand tightly.

The blond-haired young man let him hold him, blushed and remained silent for a while, then suddenly said, "I'll go prepare breakfast."

Thinking of his difficult mother, Isaac couldn't help muttering a few words in a low voice: "...My parents are very satisfied with you, it's better not to be more satisfied."

Rein didn't hear clearly, and asked back: "What?"

Isaac just complained casually. He understood what Rein wanted to do for his parents, so he shook his head: "It's nothing, just do what you want, and I'll help you."

So after "Pet Love" and "Pedophile", Master Isaac Christopher finally has a normal image of a lover - a beautiful young man with blond hair and blue eyes.

Lord Isaac was not only attentive to this young man, but even because this young man walked into the kitchen, he cooked breakfast for Duke Christopher and his wife!

Chef Christopher Fa's family, whose territory was occupied by the young master, was worried about the quality of breakfast in the Duke's Mansion today, while being blinded by his young master's behavior of "helping" and "adding chaos and eating tofu".

Chef: Hey, hey, you two not only came here to interfere in other people's (me and my dear kitchen's) relationship, but also put flashy dogs here - he is going to submit first-hand information to Gossip Weekly!

When breakfast was served, Rein anxiously watched Mrs. Isabella take a sip of breakfast—he had already figured out who was in charge of the house in the past few days after he came to the Duke's Mansion.

Obviously neither Isaac, nor Robert, but this beautiful hostess.

"Line." Isabella put down the knife and fork and said slowly.

"Ma'am." Lein was a little nervous.

—Is it not to your liking?Did he not do well?Shouldn't he have done more?

"You can marry in now."

Before Rein could react, Isaac spoke first: "Even if Rein wants to marry, it's not to make you breakfast!"

He could almost imagine his mother's mental activities at the moment.

Because he had the same feeling when he ate Lain's craftsmanship for the first time!but!That doesn't mean Jealousy Isaac can tolerate someone—even if it's his mother—who thinks the same way.

Rein obviously belongs to him alone!

——It can only be said that Master Christopher's resilience is really impressive.

※※※

After breakfast, Isaac told his family about his experience in Demon King City.

Isabella still had a face of "don't bother me with mundane things", sitting aside waving a peacock fan.But this time Isaac insisted that his mother speak up.

"What is sealed behind the door of the underground corridor?"

Isabella waved her fan slowly.

"Mother." Isaac gritted his teeth.

Her Royal Highness and High Priest of the Demon Race glanced at Isaac: "This is a secret that only the Demon King and the High Priest of the Demon Race can know."

The young man of the Demon Race was impatient: "But it is obviously no longer a secret."

"Even your father is not qualified to know this secret." Isabella Christopher looked at her son and said leisurely, "After all, I am a member of the Sylphis family, and I will not be broken by anything. Royal rules."

"but--"

Just when Isaac was about to say something, Isabella suddenly looked at Rein.

"If Rein is willing to become the successor of the High Priest of the Demon Race, with this inheritance, I can tell him the secret of the underground corridor."

Isaac: "..."

——Mom, you are asking for a lot of money to pay back the money!Turning the corner to accept students!
