The tri-horned rhino walked slowly. Chen Rui and Athena had their own thoughts, so they didn't make a sound. The atmosphere seemed weird for a while.
"Athena," Chen Rui's question broke the awkward atmosphere, "I'm a human who knows almost nothing about the Demon Realm. I'm also a member of the Dark Moon City now. I really want to know about the Fallen Angel Empire. Can you tell me?"
This request was normal, so Athena explained without thinking.
The Demon Realm originally had seven royal families. After countless battles and eliminations, there were only three royal families left. They were the Lucifer Royal Family who controlled the Fallen Angel Empire, the Mammon Royal Family who controlled the Bloody Empire, and the Asmodeus Royal Family who controlled the Shadow Empire. The three empires of the Demon Realm had their own ups and downs. They had been standing for tens of thousands of years.
The barrier between the human world and the Demon Realm would weaken every 500 years, which was the beginning of the war between the two realms. The Midnight Sun. Lucifer of the Fallen Angel Empire was the top powerhouse of the Demon Realm. He was respected by all parties. In the war with the humans more than 300 years ago, he served as the commander of the Demons Coalition Army. He personally killed the three human powerhouses, which once let the Demon Army see the hope of returning to the bright world above the ground. However, the Midnight Sun was suddenly killed by a mysterious powerhouse, causing the army to be leaderless. The Demon Army was finally defeated and forced to withdraw to the Demon Realm.
After the death of the Midnight Sun, the crown prince, Grimm. Lucifer was too young to handle the government affairs. The two foreign enemies, the Bloody Empire and the Shadow Empire, were eyeing the Fallen Angel Empire with both internal and external troubles.
At this time, the younger brother of the Midnight Sun, who was also Grimm's uncle, Prince Obsidian, stepped forward and temporarily took over the government affairs. He was called the regent. Although Prince Obsidian's strength and military talent were far inferior to the Midnight Sun, his political means were brilliant. He used his brother's heroic sacrifice for the Demons as a reason. With the remaining prestige of the Midnight Sun in the Demon Realm, he signed a non-aggression agreement with the Bloody Empire and the Shadow Empire.
However, after Prince Obsidian solved the external crisis, he did not return the power to his nephew, Grimm. Instead, he monopolized the power, eliminated the dissidents, and showed signs of replacing him. However, because Prince Obsidian did not get the approval of the artifact "Sword of Fallen Angel" of the Lucifer Royal Family, and the Lord of Midnight Sun's prestige in the army was extremely high. 2 of the 3 generals of the empire supported the crown prince, Grimm. Therefore, Prince Obsidian could only continue to use the title of regent, but he confiscated his nephew's Sword of Fallen Angel and enfeoffed him to the desolate Dark Moon Estate. He secretly sent people to monitor and control him.
The Dark Moon Estate had a dangerous environment, poor resources, rampant bandits, and many terrifying Demon Realm creatures in the estate. It was impossible to develop and grow. Grimm died of depression in this kind of adversity. In his later years, he left behind two daughters, the First Princess Jía and the Little Princess Alice.
Jía was influenced by the idea of regaining the throne instilled by Grimm since she was a child. She developed a cold and persevering character. She handled things calmly and decisively. Unlike her relatively weak father, she faintly had the demeanor of her grandfather, the Lord of Midnight Sun. She took over the Dark Moon City at the age of 16. She immediately used a series of means to establish prestige and govern the Dark Moon City in an orderly manner.
However, even if Jía was talented and ambitious, she couldn't fundamentally change the bad situation of the Dark Moon Estate. After Grimm's death, another general of the empire sided with the Regent Obsidian. The only military force that supported the Dark Moon was the First General George, who was Athena's father.
General George was now guarding the northern border, the Warlock Fortress at the border with the Bloody Empire. Three years ago, Athena came to the Dark Moon City at the behest of her father. It was also equivalent to indicating to the outside world that General George continued to support the crown prince.
Over the years, Prince Obsidian had been studying the Sword of Fallen Angel that originally belonged to Jía all the time. Once he could unlock the mystery of the artifact and get the approval of the artifact, he could justifiably become the real emperor. By then, even the opposition led by General George could only express surrender.
"It's not easy for Princess Jía to support the Dark Moon Estate almost by herself." Athena said emotionally, "The crown prince is very strict with her. She has always been under great pressure, and she gradually formed a cold personality. Even Alice is afraid of her. But according to Alice, Princess Royal was actually very gentle when she was a child … "
Chen Rui only knew that the Dark Moon City was in such a disadvantageous situation. He suddenly remembered that if Regent Obsidian understood the Sword of Fallen Angel and launched a war against the Dark Moon, no one could guarantee the safety of the poison dragon. Once it was exposed, Sir Paglio was likely to become the dragon slayer's trophy, and Chen Rui would also be finished. It seemed that he had to at least help the poison dragon unlock the < Lock of Light and Dark > first, then find a safe territory to settle down. At present, it was still unclear what the Super System's abilities were. He could only sacrifice his body to borrow Athena's power.
Chen Rui calculated while trying to get information, "I heard Master Aldas said that the royal family has a special bloodline talent. I wonder what the talents of the Lucifer Royal Family are?"
Athena replied, "I once heard my father said that the higher the level of the royal family's awakening, the more and stronger talents they can use. The most powerful talent of the Lucifer Family is the < Heart of Light and Dark > which can devour all powers. Even the human's light power is no exception. Then there are [Dark Flame] and [Holy Wings]. Back then, the Lord of Midnight Sun was invincible in the Demon Realm with these 3 powers. Even the strongest person in the Demon Realm today, Raizen the Great of the Bloody Empire, could only admit defeat. "
When Athena mentioned the Lord of Midnight Sun, her face was full of reverence. Chen Rui secretly thought that this chick was really the type who worshipped violence. If she really used the seduction tactic like Paglio said, it would probably be difficult for him to suit her taste. He probed again quietly, "Besides, are there any other talents, such as … [Mind Reading]?"
"[Mind Reading]?" Athena didn't worry about him and shook her head decisively, "Impossible, the Lucifer Family has a total of 3 bloodline talents. This is a well-known fact in the Demon Realm."
Chen Rui finally understood that the [Mind Reading] that Alice said turned out to be a bluff. It turned out that the frog crawled on his feet and didn't bite. What a shock!
He thought about it and decided not to expose Alice. Otherwise, this loli would come up with some evil ideas. As for the primordial pit, he would slowly find a way to fill it.
"Athena, my questions just now may violate the taboo of the royal family. Please keep it a secret, especially don't tell the little princess."
"No problem! I will never say! " After talking with Chen Rui for a while, Athena let go of her psychological burden a lot. When she heard this, she habitually patted her chest. Suddenly, her breasts were surging. The eyes of a normal man who saw it almost shook.
The two continued to talk, and Chen Rui got a lot of useful information from Athena. Demons' power levels from low to high could be divided into Lower Demon, Intermediate Demon, Higher Demon, Demon King, Great Demon King, Demon Emperor, Demon Overlord, and Demon Supremo.
Each level was equivalent to a watershed. Not only there was a huge difference in power, but there was also a certain level suppression. For example, it was difficult for an Intermediate Demon to exert the strongest combat power in front of a Higher Demon.
Although there was no level suppression between the same level, there was also a difference in power. For example, a veteran Higher Demon who had reached the peak of power could at least defeat 10 newly advanced Higher Demons.
Demon Supremo was the highest realm in the legend. It was said that the power could make the gods afraid, but it was never heard that a Demon could become a Demon Supremo. 300 years ago, the Lord of Midnight Sun was extremely talented. He cultivated to the peak of Demon Overlord. He was one step away from being promoted to Demon Supremo. Unfortunately, he died in the war with humans.
Raizen the Great of the Bloody Empire and Catherine the Great of the Shadow Empire were both veteran Demon Overlords. There were also many powerhouses under them, but they were not as good as the Lord of Midnight Sun back then. Even powerhouses of the same level, there was a lot of gap in power due to talent and special abilities. Prince Obsidian, the strongest powerhouse of the Fallen Angel Empire, had reached the peak of the Demon Overlord, but compared with the other 2 emperors who were also at the peak of the Demon Overlord, his strength was much inferior. Perhaps after obtaining the power of the artifact, Sword of Fallen Angel, he could truly compete with the other 2 empires in terms of strength.
Athena herself was a Great Demon, also known as a scythe demon. The scythe demon was a naturally powerful warrior who was good at using various weapons. It was not limited to the signature scythe. Athena was proficient in swordsmanship. At the age of 19, she was already at the peak of Intermediate Demon. She was only a step away from Higher Demon. For the Demons, she was a very outstanding genius.
Not every Demon could train all the way to the peak. For example, the upper limit of the scythe demon was Higher Demon. The imp would linger at Lower Demon for life unless some rare mutation could occur.
Chen Rui's performance in the face of the poison dragon made Athena look at him in a different light. Her communication with him became smoother and smoother. She felt that although this human's strength was not good, his courage and wisdom were respectable. He was not the annoying type.
"Athena …" Alice's lazy voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Alice!" Athena helped Alice up in surprise, "You're awake!"
"Where are we?" Alice wiped her blurry eyes, "The picnic doesn't seem to be over yet."
"It's already over. You and Kia were so tired that you fell asleep while listening to the story. I brought you guys to the tri-horned rhino and we're returning to the Dark Moon City."
Alice recalled for a while and it seemed to be the case. She stretched and said to Chen Rui, "Your story is good. I order you to tell me one every day. And that barbecue … "
Chen Rui quickly said that he really couldn't think of it – Snow White is already pitiful enough today. I can't torture other characters.
Athena also echoed, "Alice, that story is not interesting. Let Chen Rui make the burr puzzle again."
"Athena, you call him 'Chen Rui'? Don't you always call him 'human'? " Alice looked suspicious, "I remember that you like to listen to stories. You were quite enthusiastic when you started to tell Snow White. Why now …"
The little loli looked at Chen Rui and Athena for a while, then she squinted her big eyes, "There's a problem. There must be a problem!"
Alice's sensitivity made Chen Rui shudder. Athena was even more guilty. The little loli asked again, "Athena, where's your sword?"
Athena looked regretful and lowered her head, "I found a wyvern flying by earlier. I used a Cross Whirlwind to scare the wyvern away. As a result, the sword fell into the blue lake. Even if I fished it out, it would be useless."
Although Athena didn't tell the truth, her regret for the sword was not fake. Alice knew that she had a killer move to throw the greatsword, so she didn't doubt it. Two clear eyes fell on Chen Rui's face, "I don't remember how I fell asleep. Was I poisoned?"
Chen Rui was sweating profusely as he listened. He picked up the kettle and took a sip to cover up the nervousness in his heart: If he wasn't confident in the poison dragon's toxicity and strength, he would still suspect that Alice had been pretending to sleep. This loli's reasoning ability was too terrifying.
He heard Alice's voice suddenly rose, "Chen Rui! You must be coveting the princess's beauty, so you drugged the barbecue with evil intentions. As a result, it was discovered by Athena. You used the reputation of the Lucifer Royal Family as a threat to force Athena to keep it a secret and even succumb to your despotic power, right? "
"Chi!" Chen Rui didn't have time to swallow a mouthful of water, and he almost choked from his nose- The evaluation just now is wrong! This little loli's reasoning ability isn't terrifying, but it's earth-shattering!
Athena was also shocked by Alice's powerful imagination, but she was already accustomed to her friend's personality, so she was relieved instead. Chen Rui finally stopped coughing. As he was about to speak, he saw Alice's sad look. She touched her lower abdomen and said, "Oh my god, will I be pregnant with a human's child?"
Chen Rui had no time to criticize Alice's superficial acting skills. He was directly shocked by the lines and vomited 3 liters of blood.
Athena had already switched to the back of another tri-horned rhino with Kia who had not woken up, pretending not to hear it.
Alice was still feeling self-pity, "When the child grows up and asks who the father is, how should I answer?"
