The Path of the Master's Development

Faced with the behavior of his mother forcibly selling Amway, Isaac decisively slapped the table and stood up.

"Don't try to get Lein's idea! I will definitely figure it out myself!"

Isabella showed a bewildered smile on her face, anyway, it wasn't her who was in a hurry now.

Robert Christofa, a beloved wife, has no eyesight, no nose, no nose, no heart, and he resolutely does not intervene in the battle between his son and his wife for his daughter-in-law.

And... the father who feels that he is unloved is a little sad now.

Rein bit the bullet and resisted the strong pressure from Mrs. Isabella on the left and right from Isaac, and said aloud: "Uh, what kind of ceremony is that ceremony?"

He knows his own affairs.

Although hell is indeed a suitable place for his physique to live in, being the High Priest of the Demon Race has a completely different meaning.

It was as if he almost drowned in the sea water of the Sea of ​​Prophecy when he saw it. Rein's perception was far higher than that of ordinary people, even higher than that of Kraken and Celestial Clan, who are good at perception.

This perception is like the surface of calm water, once a drop of boiling oil falls, it will boil instantly.

So George never let him touch the things of the prophecy department.

And the High Priest of the Demon Race needs to use the sea water of the Sea of ​​Prophecy to prophesy for the entire Demon Race every new year, which he simply cannot do.Don't talk about prophecy, the moment he saw the sea of ​​prophecy, he would probably assimilate into the whole piece of sea water in minutes.

So even if he is not a quasi-saint of the Light God Sect, he cannot serve as the high priest of the Demon Race, so he can only try to change the topic.

Isabella glanced at her triumphant son and the embarrassed Rein, the hazy feeling on her face still remained, but she still answered Rein's question lazily.

"I don't know, this is not my specialty..." She fanned the peacock tail feather fan in her hand as if she suddenly remembered something, "If anyone in the Hilfis family knows this—then only Margaret gone."

Isaac and Rein were taken aback, looking at each other.

Margaret—isn't that George's mother?

I have been staying between the seals underground of the Light God Sect before, but now Isaac has opened up the entire seal to the ground, and I don't know if people are still continuing to study alchemy inside.

"Have you ever seen Margaret?" The penetrating priestess saw through the expressions on the faces of Isaac and Rein at a glance, and said slowly.

"Well, after she was cursed by Raven Faoz, she seems to have stayed between the seals under the Illuminati Cult." Isaac was not sure whether the expression on his mother's face was the memory of the only sister, or something else. What, I can only dryly explain how I met Margaret Hilfis.

"Raven Faoz..." Isabella narrowed her eyes slightly, with a cold light shining in her burgundy eyes, "Oh, Faoz's family is really—a bit of an eyesore."

Based on the belief that the displeasure of my wife is my own displeasure, and my wife’s enemy is my enemy, this wife-slave, who takes no principle as the highest principle, feels that after talking for so long, everyone finally has room to express himself up.

So he immediately stood up and said loudly: "Isa, you don't like them, I will go and level them immediately!"

Isaac: ...

Rhine: ...

Isabella glanced at her husband unhurriedly: "Sit down."

Robert sat down obediently: "Oh."

"Go and ask Margaret." Isabella's wine-red eyes gradually darkened, revealing a deep purple light. Smiling, "I also want to know who did what to His Majesty the Demon King."

Robert and Isaac shuddered at the same time.

The last time my mother/wife became like this was when the little grass princess of Marquis Delgudo of Blood Moon fell in love with Robert, an old cow, and tried to find ways to post back and even provoke the Duchess from time to time.

As a result, one-tenth of the territory of the Marquis of Blood Moon was completely destroyed by the extremely dark magic, so Marquis Del Gudo had to bring the little princess to the door to apologize and said that he would never disturb Christo again. Duke of France's Mansion - Since that time, the territory of the Marquis of Blood Moon no longer welcomes people from the Duke of Christopher's mansion, especially this couple.

Please let them light the crooked Faoz's house.

"Then Lein and I will go to the human world first to see if we can find Aunt Margaret and ask about the origin of the ceremony."

Isaac stood up, intending to do it.

"Line stays."

——Mom, why can you break up your own son and his lover so naturally? !

Isaac's face darkened.

Seeing that there is going to be a tragedy of mother and child killing each other caused by a meal, the Grand Duke Christopher who finally regained his sense of existence gently stood beside his wife to show his position, and got Isa Mrs. Bella gave a satisfied glance.

"...I see, you take care of Rein and the Crystal Dragon!" Isaac said through gritted teeth.

——Anyway, Rein has his scales in his body. If something happens to Rein, he will break back even if he destroys the protective barriers of hell and the human world!

Rein looked at the child-like Isaac who was having a temper tantrum, and comforted his lover with his eyes: "Don't worry about me."

"Well, Rein, remember my words!" Isaac confessed worriedly, the wings on his back spread out murderously, flew into the sky and opened a passage to fly in.

Rein looked up and watched Isaac go away, and did not look back until the passage was completely closed.

He turned to look at Duke Christopher and his wife.

"Isaac has already left, is there anything you two need me to do?"

He's just a little straight and a little dull in some ways, not stupid.

Although he only had close contact once, he could also know that Isabella Christopher was not someone who would keep him for a good meal.

The duke and his wife looked at each other, and Isabella showed a satisfied smile on her face.

——If Isaac was here, he would definitely slap Rein on the head lightly: Didn't he say not to sell himself casually? !

※※※

In the Faoz family, the acting patriarch turned his back to his elder brother who was hiding in the darkness, and read the news from his subordinates.

"Someone opened the passage above the Christopher family, and Isaac Christopher left hell."

"Ah... Has my dear Lord Isaac gone to the human world again?" Raven sat in the darkness, his voice was as horrible and hoarse as gravel rubbing against each other, "At this time?"

"Yeah, why is it at this time?" The acting patriarch of the Faoz family walked up and down in front of Raven anxiously, and he said hurriedly and bewildered, "Why did you let him leave at this time? The demon priest will be here soon." It's gone!"

He couldn't understand what that woman, Isabella Christopher, was thinking!

"Lord Isaac's departure is a good thing for our plan, isn't it?" Raven Faoz, curled up in the dark, looked at his nominal younger brother, even with a sneer of contempt in his voice—no A pig with great ability and ambition.

"That woman is the iron wall of the royal family, the poisonous rose! How could they let their greatest combat power leave at this time?!"

"Isn't there still Robert Christopher? It's as if you can take down the strongest man in hell right now." Raven mocked.

The face of the acting patriarch turned red and then pale——Although the Grand Duke Christopher has not made a move for many years, no one among the demons in hell would doubt his strength. That couple is simply the strongest evil couple in hell !

"It's useless to worry. That woman has already noticed your movements. When the demon sacrifice is over and she is free, you Faoz will probably have to roll back to the corner of the abyss."

"Fauz is also your family!" The acting patriarch Yanoman turned his head and glared at Lei Wen, who had been making sarcastic remarks from beginning to end, and turned his head as if he had been stabbed, not daring to meet his brother's eyes.

With a sneer, Lei Wen lazily spread out his hands: "So I'm back, haven't I?"

Raven's laughter came from behind the acting patriarch, like a weird and twisted devil, which made people tremble uncontrollably.

Yanoman didn't understand why he listened to this lunatic - because he shook off all the plans of the Faoz family as soon as he came in front of him?

He has obviously left hell for hundreds of years, but those crazy eyes never seem to move away from the family that abandoned him. Even though he has turned into this skeletal appearance, he still has the power to make himself bow his head inexplicably as he did when he was a child. .

"Honestly follow your plan. Apart from this, you have no other way out, Faoz."

Faoz's acting patriarch staggered away.

A mass of purple ghostly fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, illuminating the ferocious face of Raven Faoz sitting in the darkness—this is what scared Yanoman just now—a streak of light was distributed on his face and hands. The black scars that look extremely terrifying are the traces left by George Victor's undead magic, and even the demons who are proficient in darkness cannot erase them.

But the purple flame floating in the air suddenly jumped, and the face of "Raven Faoz" on the chair rippled like water, and then the original appearance was washed away, revealing the silver-haired black-skinned pretender true face.

The dark elf Aurier raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of Yanoman's departure. It was indeed the right decision to help Raven.Otherwise, he would have no chance to sneak into Faoz's house and take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

I hope that the High Priest of the Demon Race is as difficult to deal with as the rumors say, and that he won't waste his time stabbing Faoz's family's changes in front of her.

Before Aurier played with the flame in his hand and opened the command given to him by the adults, he never thought that the holy silver bottle of the Celestial Clan would exist in hell in this form!

Mozu sacrifices.

Every 150 years, all the demons will hold a large-scale secret sacrifice—only the demon king, priests of the demons and the heads of the families know of its existence.

Speaking of this sacrifice, we must first mention the territorial distribution of hell.

Although the land of hell is very vast, the main areas of activity of the demons are still in each territory.

Centered on the Demon King City of Sirfis and the surrounding territory of Sirfis, the territory of the Grand Duke of Christophe, the Lich Territory of the Earl of Vincendi, the Blood Moon Ridge of the Marquis Delgudo and Its surrounding territory, Viscount Wolfe's werewolf territory, Faoz family's demon territory, and between Christopher and Faoz family, separated by the entrance to the abyss of hell, formed a closed ring as a whole.

The abyss is the birthplace of the Dragon King Silvetan, and it is itself an endless abyss of darkness. It should be said that the reason why the demons have more or less dark magic power is because the abyss emits endless magic power.

But more magic isn't always better.

The demons in hell have been washed away by the abyss all year round and become physiques that can automatically absorb power. If the magic power of the abyss overflows too much, the demons with limited aptitude will also get sick or die as a result.

——Like a cactus that has been watered too much, it will rot from the root.

As for the good qualifications... the Grand Duke Christopher is the best example.

But there is only one Grand Duke Christopher of Hell, and most of the demons are "ordinary demons".

Therefore, the secret sacrifice of the demons is to reseal the entrance of the abyss every 150 years to a range that the demons can bear.

This is not easy.

No one knows where the power overflowing from the abyss comes from, because no one has ever dared to step into the abyss—even the so-called magicians from the abyss, the Faoz family, are just people who once lived at the entrance of the abyss. in that piece of land.

During the demon sacrifice, the high priest should be led by the entrance of the abyss, and the demon king in the demon king's city should be the center, let the heads of each family drive the ritual crystals placed in the territory, and use the six-pointed seal to guide the sealing power to the abyss , this can be regarded as the most important thing for the free and undisciplined demons.

"It's just that I didn't expect Faoz to be so courageous that he was planning to sacrifice the demons." Isabella's mysterious smile looked like a "death smile" to Rein.

In short, the blond young man with excellent perception definitely saw the black anger behind the elegant and beautiful Duchess Christopher.

Even when they were at odds with the Celestial Clan and the Human Realm race, those in power who knew the existence of this Demon Race sacrifice did not dare to disturb the Demon Race at this time-because this is not just a matter of the Demon Race.

If the power diffused from the abyss cannot be absorbed by the demons, it will spread in hell. If the power accumulates to a certain level, it will break the barrier of hell, and even interfere with the barriers of human and heaven. As a result, the whole world fell into a situation that was on the verge of destruction as it was during the Dimos Rebellion.

But it is undeniable that this sacrifice contained most of the available combat power in hell.

Needless to say, the heads of the various families, the high priest and the devil king were completely excluded from the combat power.

Although in the seven points of the ceremony, in addition to the high priest at the entrance of the abyss and the demon king as the core, as long as there are three ritual crystals in operation, the ceremony can be completed, but the less the number of ritual crystals involved, the longer the ritual time will be. The longer it is, the more variable things will be.

"Since this is the case, can't the ceremony be postponed or brought forward?" Rein asked strangely.

"No way." Isabella slowly shook her head.

The reason why the ceremony is set once every 150 years is because 150 years is the upper limit of the time the seal can last, and a large-scale "magic epidemic" will appear in hell after a little longer, and because the seal crystal is activated at the entrance of the abyss of hell The High Priest cannot afford shorter frequencies.

In the area with extremely high "magic power density" like the entrance of the abyss of hell, it takes 150 years for the high priest to absorb the magic power absorbed by holding a sacrifice-this is still in the case of the high priest holding the demon artifact protection, it is gone The artifacts are shared and absorbed, and it is estimated that a high priest of the demons will be sacrificed once to hold a sacrifice to the demons.

"I see, what do you want me to do?"

"This time, the Christopher family will not participate in the ceremony. I have already informed the other three heads of the family in advance." The answer was Robert. "This ceremony must not be missed. I am going to the Demon King City to protect His Majesty the Demon King. We hope you can enter the abyss with Isabella. You are human and cannot absorb the magic of the abyss. I I hope you can protect Isabella during the ceremony."

"I...?" Lein hesitated.

He didn't think he had the strength to protect the High Priest of the Demon Race, and he didn't know where the Duke and Duchess Christopher got their confidence.

Seeing through his doubts, Isabella stretched out her finger and pointed to Rein's chest.

"You have the black scales of the Dragon King in your body—in the abyss, you are my greatest protection."

"I see, I will try my best." Rein nodded.

Robert glanced at his wife silently: This "daughter-in-law" is simply too innocent, much cuter than his own son who is in the second stage of schizophrenia.

Isabella: You didn't teach me not to be cute.

Ha ha.

※※※

Isaac went to find George immediately after returning to the human world.

After the two murmured for a while, George took the people directly to the Holy City of Light.

Between audiences, the pope happily received two guests from darkness.

"Oh, little George, the bigger you are the less cute, the bigger the less polite, the bigger—"

"Enough is enough!" The necromancer glared at his father with a displeased expression—can he stop being so embarrassing in front of his students? !

Pope Roland, who was still young and handsome in appearance, gave a disdainful scoff at his son, then turned his head to look at Isaac, whose wings had not yet folded: "Welcome, Little Dragon King, what can I do for you?"

"I have something to ask Aunt Margaret." Isaac didn't bother to watch the fighting between the Pope and his son, and directly hit a straight ball.

The smile on the pope's face gradually disappeared.

When it comes to Margaret, he has not always been able to maintain that calmness very well.Margaret Sylphis was his only weakness.

"Let me hear your reasons."

"It's a question about a certain ceremony. My mother said that she is the only one who may know about this ceremony." Isaac briefly explained what Orlando mentioned about the ceremony, and quietly waited for the pope's feedback.

The Pope was silent for a while after listening, and finally let go: "I will have someone take you into the seal room. She is still in her laboratory, and George stays."

Isaac glanced at George who turned his head away, and put his own business first: "Thank you."

When Isaac left, George turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Roland's voice.

"Mary is still haunted by the curse, seeing you and me will make her suffer from the pain of the curse..."

"I don't want to go." George interrupted his father's explanation, "I will kill Raven Faoz, find a way to lift the curse, go to her again, and tell her that I live as she expected good."

The human-demon hybrid looked at Roland sitting on the pope's seat—this idiot father is the one who wants to stay with his mother the most, right? Who wants him to comfort him? !

"I'm in my 40s, not just four."

"For the demons, 40 years old is equivalent to four years old, little George."

"It's a pity, I still have half human blood."

"That's only eight years old, so your rebellious period is so long? Little Qiaoqiao is much more sensible than you."

"Just the crying bag?"

"Oh, don't be jealous, Dad still loves you."

"..."

——As a necromancer, he beat up the Pope of Light in the center of the Light God Sect, so he should be able to get out alive, right? !

On the other side, Isaac met Margaret in Between the Seals.

The demon woman patiently listened to Isaac's narration based on her academic interest in the Dragon King, then put down the experiment in her hand and started walking back and forth.

"They want the horn of the Demon Lord."

Margaret's eyes suddenly shone with a sharp light, and it was the eyes that were burning with thirst for knowledge.

"The devil's horn will fall off only in two cases."

She seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be explaining to Isaac.

"One is the succession ceremony of the devil king. The old devil king passes something in the 'horn' to the new devil king, and then the devil king's horn will fall off naturally."

"The other is death."

"By the way, the important thing is not the 'horn', the 'horn' is actually just a receiver, a protection, and a seal!"

"The important thing is what's inside the horn—they want to keep the current devil king in a state of 'dead but not completely dead', so that the horn may fall off, but it won't be passed on!"

"The function of that ceremony is this, to make the devil die in a suspended animation..."

"But Orlando's horn is still there—" Isaac couldn't help interrupting the endless chatter of the demon woman.

Even knowing that she had lost all emotion because of the cursed relationship, Isaac was a little uncomfortable hearing her discuss Orlando's suffering so coldly.

"Didn't you say that? It's not the horns that matter!"

Margaret waved Isaac to listen like a school professor.

"The important thing is what's in the corner. Where did that thing go? Is it still in the corner of the devil? Or has it been taken by them—no, if they have already got it, there is no need to wait so long. That thing, open the underground The key to the cloister seal must have found a new container..."

Margaret turned her head sharply.

The eyes, which are similar in color to Isabella's but completely different in expression, are surprisingly bright.

"Orlando and Lucius - which one do you think is 'the thing'?"
