Chapter 554: Don’t Even Think About It
Translator: Udong_ Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong_
Lucifer Serage was pretending to leave, but his body froze after he heard that. He heard that Jiliu Feijing was arrogant, but he didn"t expect him to be arrogant to this degree.
Leave? With a bitter smile on his face, Lucifer Serage knew that he couldn"t do so. "Jiliu Feijing is too good at the art of runes. Even if he isn"t a Rune Master, he is able to forge Supreme Warrior Weapons..." he thought to himself.
Qian Jin sat the chair that the Mamen Clan prepared for him and closed his eyes, he really enjoyed the suns.h.i.+ne and didn"t even bother to see if Lucifer Serage left or not.
The number of resources required for a Supreme Warrior Weapon was beyond the imagination of the Mamen Clan. In order to create this piece, Qian Jin even used some of his own material that he got from the Mamen Clan.
Qian Jin knew that this was worth it.
He knew that other demons would come to him and ask him to create Supreme Warrior Weapons for them even if he asked for five-times the material.
Even if they knew that Qian Jin was almost robbing them, they would still do it like moths flying into candles.
"Hehe, Master Feijing is really as confident and proud as the rumors said." Lucifer Serage paused his steps and said with a smile full of admiration, "Only the demons with enough strength can be this prideful. I respect your pride, and I will agree with your request."
A victorious smile appeared on Qian Jin"s face as he stood up from the chair and said, "Then, I will help Your Highness complete your ma.s.sive project, and I hope that Your Highness will keep your word."
"Of course! Who do you think I am?" Lucifer Serage said confidently. However, the tip of his right index finger lightly moved. "How dare you threaten me? I will kill you after everything is done! Any demon or people who dare to threaten me would have to die!" he thought.
"Want to kill me? As soon as I seize that special Saint Item, you can just find a place to cry!" Qian Jin thought to himself.
The human and the demon both laughed as if they were both satisfied with the arrangement.
Lucifer Serage suddenly raised his voice and announced, "Ok, we finished talking! You guys can come in."
Everyone who was waiting outside all squeezed into the yard and looked at Lucifer Serage and Qian Jin curiously, they all wanted to know what took place between these two extremely proud demons.
"My dear and s.e.xy sister." Lucifer Serage looked at Lucifer Lucy who just walked into the yard and said, "The annual Royal Compet.i.tion in front of the Demon King is about to take place. You still remember, right? You have recruited a lot of retinues, and I"m sure that you are partic.i.p.ating this year. Don"t worry, I already enrolled you in it."
"You..." Lucifer Lucy stared at Lucifer Serage viciously. If there weren"t a lot of demons here, she would have jumped at this Crown Prince and tore him apart.
Royal Compet.i.tion in front of the Demon King was a very cruel compet.i.tion and it was a tradition in the Lucifer Clan.
Any member of the Royal Family who had retinues and wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the battle of the throne could partic.i.p.ate in it.
The reason why it was cruel was that there were only three outcomes.
One outcome was that the Demon King saw the potential in a retinue and stopped the fight himself in case this retinue got injured.
The second outcome was that the retinue himself or herself surrendered, that would bring a lot of shame to his or her master, and that might cause his or her master to lose the opportunity to battle for the throne.
The last outcome was that the master of the retinue could stop the fight, that won"t win the respect of the demons either.
The Zence New Generation Compet.i.tion was a compet.i.tion among all the young warriors and mages of Zence Empire and this Royal Compet.i.tion in front of the Demon King was more of an internal compet.i.tion of the Lucifer Clan. Although it might not include all the powerful younger generation warriors of the empire, it was a lot crueler than the New Generation Compet.i.tion, even the warriors of the Zence Empire knew how cruel the Royal Compet.i.tion in front of the Demon King was.
Since Lucifer Lucy got Jiliu Feijing as a retinue, no one could be surprised if she wanted to partic.i.p.ate in it this year. In the eyes of other demons, it felt like she didn"t have time to sign up and asked the Crown Prince to help her. If she ended up backing out at this point, she wouldn"t be as excellent in the eyes of the Demon King.
Lucifer Serage smiled and thought, "Too bad that this sister of mine doesn"t know to act low-key. She is attracting this much attention already."
"This time, I will try to make her lose all her possible retinues. She probably wouldn"t want to let Jiliu Feijing partic.i.p.ate in the battle for the fear of losing him and I can then let my retinues kill all her other retinues. After that..." Lucifer Serage looked at Qian Jin and continued to think, "This Master Feijing will see that Lucifer Lucy lacks a bright future and would come to me. I can teach and train him by then!"
"My s.e.xy sister, you don"t need to thank me." Lucifer Serage said proudly, "This annual Royal Compet.i.tion in front of the Demon King is the largest in the decade. Our father will wait for us who are out of the Capital for a few days, but we must hurry up. How about we leave together today?"
"How about tomorrow?" Qian Jin yawned and stretched his back, "I have been forging these days and I need some rest."
"OK, let"s go tomorrow."
Lucifer Serage waved his hand and left with his retinues.
Now, all the demon elders felt the urgency. "After this Master Feijing enters the Capital and meets the Demon King, it would be harder to establish a relations.h.i.+p with him. I must talk to him and invite him to my clan before he leaves." All the demon elders sensed each other"s thoughts and quickly tried to come up with ways to express their sincerity.
Qian Jin walked to Box Lee who was a little sad and said, "Leaders, even if I"m at the Fallen City, I"m still an a.s.sisting Elder to the Mamen Clan. I can still forge items when I"m there."
Box Lee and Saber Sage calm down a lot and thought, "Looks like our efforts paid off!"
"I will probably stay in Fallen City for a while." Qian Jin said.
The two leaders of Mamen Clan nodded. "If Jiliu Feijing told us that he will be back soon, he would be lying. It is obvious that he trusts us enough to tell us the truth," they thought.
"Go to the elders and demons who want me to forge for them. Record down what they want and their strength and specialties. In terms of material..." Qian Jin added, "Right, don"t collect material from that b.a.s.t.a.r.d who wanted me to forge him a Saint Item for his daughter! Even if you collected his information and his materials, I won"t forge anything for him!"
The two leaders shrugged their shoulders, they could say that almost all the elders of the Mamen Clan thought of that before. A lot of them were worried that Qian Jin won"t forge them items after they gave him the material, but it looked like...
Whoever hesitated more and weren"t willing to give Qian Jin the materials would end up like this elder he just mentioned.
Both Box Lee and Saber Sage knew that Qian Jin brought up that elder to warn the other greedy elders.
For the rest day and the night, Qian Jin didn"t have any time to sleep. The elders and leaders of various demon clans all rushed into his room and tried to network with him, they were afraid of giving him presents late and missing the golden opportunity.
Duren Burg looked at the demons that left Qian Jin"s room one by one and laughed, "d.a.m.n! In this era, these demons are so happy to be taken advantage of! I don"t understand!"
Cech Flet nodded and rarely agreed with Duren Burg. Qian Jin wasn"t the only person who benefited from this, even though he was acting as the doorman of Jiliu Feijing, he got a lot of presents from these demons.
Duren Burg slept with a beautiful female demon from the Mamen Clan, and that demon got promised the opportunity to get a Supreme Warrior Weapon. This news was known to all the higher-cla.s.s demons, and they realized that Master Feijing was very good towards his peers.
To prevent the other retinues of Lucifer Lucy from saying bad things about them to Master Feijing behind their backs, the elders and leaders of the other demon clans were all very generous towards them.
Lucifer Lucy looked at the demons who had lined up and were waiting to be taken advantage of and didn"t know if she should be thrilled or worried, a ton of rare materials were flowing into the Warrior Dimension of Qian Jin.
During the rest of the day and the night, Qian Jin got a lot of precious materials and a ton of alliance agreements under the name of Jiliu Feijing.
"d.a.m.n!"
Lucifer Serage shook his head and murmured as he looked at Qian Jin"s room, "Lucifer Lucy found a treasure this time! During this Royal Compet.i.tion in front of the Demon King, kill all of her retinues except Jiliu Feijing!"
