As long as he could turn this evil eye tyrant into the companion spirit body of [The Eye of Evil], then Lomont could share power with the Demon Emperor-level tyrant, and his strength would improve by leaps and bounds! Not only that, this tyrant's mutated talent was very powerful. It would definitely play a very important role in future battles.
Lomont's eyes were glowing green, "Leader, your brilliance is comparable to the Demon Realm's two moons … No, it's comparable to the Demon God!"
Chen Rui gasped and drank a bottle of recovery potion. He said impatiently, "Stop it! You know that you can't use your power for 24 hours after using this skill. Hurry up and finish that damn ritual. "
"Uh … leader, there's something I don't know if I should say …"
"I have hundreds of thousands of yuan per second. If it's something like marrying me, then don't be so wordy."
Lomont said shyly, "No … that … the Demon Emperor-level tyrant I saw last time doesn't seem to be this one …"
"Ahem … you bastard! Then why aren't you running? "
"…"
Their luck this time was not as bad as the last time in the Silent Night Wetland. They did not encounter any Demon Emperor-level tyrants or any strong enemies on the way. They occasionally encountered a few Demon King-level evil eyes, but Lomont, who was familiar with the route, carefully avoided them.
Finally, the two escaped from this terrifying underground lair and returned to the Trevante ruins above ground. The long-lost light made the two breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, but they still did not dare to relax. They only stopped when they escaped into the dense forest.
The evil eye tyrant's breath of life was already quite weak. After being awakened, driven by the strong instinct of the demonic beast to survive, it finally surrendered and became the companion beast of [The Eye of Evil]. The power of [Destroy Evil] turned the evil eye tyrant into a special tattoo that appeared on Lomont's chest.
Roman never dreamed that he could actually subdue an evil eye tyrant as a lifebound beast this time. Under the complacency, his wound burst open, and he grimaced in pain. However, no matter how he looked at it, his grimace looked like he was smiling.
However, the evil eye tyrant's power was greatly consumed this time. It needed a long recovery period before it could be used. At present, there was still half a day left before the three-day deadline given by Isabella. Chen Rui found the two magic horses tied outside the forest and rode with Lomont to Rhode Town, where Isabella was.
From Lomont, he learned that Isabella was indeed his father, Terstein's sister, but he had to add the word half-sister in front.
Since the Windshadow Empire of the Leviathan Royal Family was destroyed by the Phantom Empire of the Leviathan Royal Family, although the Phantom Empire was later destroyed, there were many people who hated each other between the 2 royal families.
Lomont's grandfather overcame many difficulties and insisted on being with his lover of the Leviathan Royal Family. However, due to that hostility and the patriarchal tradition of the Leviathan Royal Family, even if there were men who tried their best to protect them, they would inevitably be looked down upon and bullied.
In the end, Mia, who couldn't bear it, left angrily with the child. She remarried to a Leviathan Royal Family, and it was said that she gave birth to another daughter.
Lomont should indeed call Isabella aunt. Although the people discriminated against Isabella and her mother, Mia, Lomont's father, Terstein, still protected his sister. The relationship between the siblings was good.
However, people change. The world changes. After so many years, whether or not those feelings or kinship would remain was still a question. What's more, even relatives would become insignificant in the face of certain interests and choices. Not only Demons, but also humans.
Probably due to the Breeze Shadow Boots, Isabella seemed quite cold after Lomont revealed his identity. When Lomont proposed his intention, Isabella first made things difficult for him, but she finally gave a clear answer. Lomont's current level was too low, so he was not qualified. [The Eye of Evil] must at least reach the realm of [Destroying Evil] to be qualified to get the answer.
Isabella "casually" told Lomont a piece of news. In the black forest near Rhode Town, there was a ruin called Trevante. It was once a ruin left by the Belphegor Royal Family. There was an abandoned underground lair. Perhaps there were "a few" evil eyes that could help him improve the level of [The Eye of Evil], but the choice to go or not was up to Lomont.
This was the only chance to get the Breeze Shadow Boots. Even though Lomont knew that the ruin might be dangerous, he didn't hesitate and went straight to Trevante. If it weren't for Chen Rui's sudden arrival, Lomont's trip and even his life could end with the words "never coming back".
Analyzing from Lomont's words, Isabella was most likely Sabrina's sister, but the two sisters should be sworn enemies. Sabrina even used Broc to kill Isabella's brother, who was Lomont's father, Terstein. (There was no direct blood relationship between Sabrina and Terstein)
It was just that Chen Rui didn't understand why Lomont's grandfather would pass the Breeze Shadow Boots to his daughter instead of his son. Doesn't the Belphegor Royal Family have a tradition of valuing sons over daughters? Why did Tarus do the opposite?
Chen Rui told Lomont about Sabrina. When Lomont heard that Isabella and Broc should belong to the same force, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"However, the same force also has enemies or hostile factions. Isabella, Broc, and Sabrina may be like this. Otherwise, you would have fallen into Broc's hands now. "Although Chen Rui had a bad impression of Isabella, he still gave an objective analysis.
Lomont nodded, "She instigated me to come to Trevante. Although I almost died, I feel that her intention isn't to kill me. If it's to monopolize the Breeze Shadow Boots, I can't compete with her with my current strength. She just needs to kill me directly."
"In any case, this woman isn't simple. You already know that she's a member of that mysterious force, so you have to be very careful no matter what you say or do. Try to stay away from her sight and don't reveal Delia's whereabouts. "
"I understand. Whether there's any news about the Breeze Shadow Boots or not, I'll go back and train for a while this time." Lomont suddenly smiled slyly, "With the power and perception of the evil eye tyrant, my hope of reaching the Demon Emperor level will greatly increase. Sir leader, if you don't improve quickly, you can only look up to my existence by then."
Chen Rui glanced at him contemptuously, "Don't forget, when I first met you, you were at the peak of Demon King strength, and I was just a Higher Demon. Now that I have the strength of Great Demon King, you barely reached Great Demon King. When you reach Demon Emperor, maybe I'll already be a Demon Overlord."
"…" Lomont was speechless for a while.
As the two talked along the way, they were approaching Town Rod unknowingly.
In the most exclusive hotel in the town, Chen Rui found Isabella.
The appearance of the two surprised Isabella a little, then she showed a moving smile to Chen Rui, "Charles, I knew you would come back safely, but I'm still a little worried."
"That place … is indeed a little dangerous, but fortunately, I didn't let down the expectations of a beautiful lady."
Although Chen Rui said it lightly, the exhaustion that couldn't be concealed on his face fully explained the thrilling trip. He glanced at Lomont, "However, as miss said, this guy is very annoying."
"That … Charles, you just saw some of my strengths, and you define me so arbitrarily. How can I stand this?"
Chen Rui snorted coldly, "Your so-called strengths also include being ungrateful, right? Don't forget who brought you out of that place."
"I didn't ask you to bring me out, but you did it yourself. Now it seems that you were entrusted by a lady." Lomont glanced at Isabella, "Is this right, my … madam aunt? The underground ruins you recommended is really a wonderful place. I almost couldn't come back because of those 'few' little evil eyes. "
Isabella glanced at Chen Rui, then she returned her gaze to Lomont. A red light flashed across her left eye, and she nodded, "I can't afford this title … but you're barely more lucky than I thought. I initially asked this Sir Charles to collect the corpse."
Chen Rui pretended to have just learned about the relationship between the two. He frowned slightly and said, "I'm a little tired. Let's go outside and rest for a while."
"Sir Charles, you don't have to avoid it." Lomont sneered, "Since you are willing to spend so much effort to go to that place to bring me out, should I call you uncle?"
Chen Rui didn't expect this boring guy to suddenly use this title in front of Isabella. His expression stagnated, and he responded with a bitter smile, "If I deserve this title, it is my honor. Unfortunately, I'm just a friend of Ms. Isabella at the moment …"
Lomont interrupted him, "I'm not interested in exploring the degree of intimacy between you two. I just want you to be a witness here. The thing that madam aunt promised me …"
"That thing is in my hands." Isabella did not let him continue to explain what it was, and she answered happily.
Lomont's eyes lit up, "Then …"
"Then, my promise has been fulfilled. You should get lost."
Lomont frowned, "Didn't you promise …"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Isabella's smile, "I promised to tell you the whereabouts of that thing. Now you already know the answer."
This time it was Lomont's turn to be dumbfounded. Isabella's original words at the beginning were indeed that no one would give him the Breeze Shadow Boots, but there were obvious hints in her words. Now it was such an "answer"!
Obviously, he was fooled.
He took the huge risk to stay in Trevante for so long, and he almost lost his life. I didn't expect that in the end …
The anger on Lomont's face flashed, and he sneered, "Yes, this is the answer. Then I will come to madam aunt to take it away at the right time. Before that, I will not appear in madam aunt's sight."
Lomont was also mentally prepared for this result. Since he was sure that the Breeze Shadow Boots were in Isabella's hands, he would come to Isabella again when he had enough strength to take it away. His biggest gain this time was the evil eye tyrant. The most important thing now was to return to the Dark Moon to train.
After speaking, Lomont did not hesitate and turned around to leave. He originally proposed to Chen Rui to stay here until the 24-hour danger period of the [Scorching Dragon Kill] passed, but Chen Rui rejected this proposal. In order not to affect the leader's plan, Lomont left quite happily.
Seeing Lomont leave, Chen Rui shook his head, "A guy who only sees the surface of things is really not likable."
Isabella showed curiosity, "Charles, did you see something more?"
"When I went, this guy happened to break through a bottleneck at the moment of life and death. Even I can't ignore the strange power in his left eye. In our human world, there is a flying demonic beast called the Thunder Eagle. In order to let the nestlings learn to fly, they always cruelly push them off the cliff again and again. Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Danger and suffering may break the wings of the weak, but it can lift the wings of the strong. "
Isabella showed a charming smile, "This comment is quite wonderful. Charles, I should be impressed by your ability to express yourself. It is obviously a little woman's malice, but you can describe it as kindness. You are really a charming man. By the way, Jardel should be dead, right? How to cover up this matter? Or can I say that in order to relieve his pain, I let his soul return to the embrace of the Demon God? "
"Everyone has their own secrets." Chen Rui shrugged, "I'm not a particularly curious person. More importantly, I'm not from the Demon Realm, so I'm not interested in these things. I just hope that miss can give me the help I need most for the sake of a friend."
"Why do I hear a hint of … blackmail?" Isabella frowned slightly, "Is it my illusion?"
Chen Rui smiled, "Of course it's an illusion. I also have an illusion. I've been in Town Rod for the past 3 days. I didn't go to Trevante, and I don't know an annoying person and a coachman, right?"
"Charles, you are such a wonderful person." Isabella picked up the wine glass on the table, handed it to Chen Rui with a smile, and poured herself another glass, "Cheers to our common illusion."
Chen Rui clinked glasses with her and took a sip of wine, only to hear Isabella laughing, "However, there is one thing that is not an illusion. The coachman, Jardel, offended our Sir Charles, and as a result …"
"Was killed by me?" Chen Rui asked tentatively.
"That's the truth, isn't it?" Isabella glanced at his glass and pretended to be surprised. "That glass … I used it before. I accidentally …"
"It turns out that Miss Isabella and I kissed indirectly. Unfortunately, it was only indirectly."
"There will be a chance to remove the word 'unfortunately'." Isabella said with a smile, "I almost forgot to say that Jardel is actually the spy that the Minister of Military Affairs, Rommel, placed around me. He is also one of his confidants. Although I have the Regent's trust for the time being, the higher I climb, the worse it will be for me to fall. Especially since there are many people who want to push a weak woman like me down, such as Rommel, and this person is very narrow-minded … "
This woman's scheming is so deep. She has calculated every step very clearly. Chen Rui showed a sudden realization, then he smiled bitterly, "In this case, I can only stand firmly on Isabella's side. However, this is my wish and honor."
"You can call me Inni. There are not many people who can call me this. Especially men." Isabella smiled even more happily.
Chen Rui also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he temporarily passed Isabella. It was really not easy.
