Chapter 508: The Real Reason for Becoming a Demon King
Thirty kilometers away from Demon King City, there will be the first human village.
The journey is not short at all, and it takes half a day to travel in a carriage, and it is already dark when we go back.
But Jiang Li insisted on going, with a resolute look that no one would be able to stop me, Yasaka Ellie could only accompany me.
"Why do you have to go to the village?"
On the way, Yasaka Ellie found two unicorns wandering in the wild.
She used the ability of monster protection to instantly strengthen the two unicorns to the cadre level, making them move like a car, and drove them to the village.
"Just go and see."
Jiang Li's tone was vague, and his attitude was obviously perfunctory.
"Speaking of which, does your protection ability come from the same source as the old devil's?"
He diverted Yasaka Airi's attention and led the topic to her abilities.
If you really want to say, the ability of this monster's protection is also quite buggy, and it can create a first-level adventurer of Orario in an instant, which is completely the power of the plug-in level!
"Yes."
Yasaka Airi nodded in acknowledgment.
"Where is the source?"
"ancestor."
"what is it call?"
"I don't know for a long time."
Yasaka Airi shook her head.
She wasn't lying.
The name of the ancestor of the reincarnated person who is suspected to be from Neon has long been lost in history, and even the direct descendants of her and the old devil have long since forgotten.
Jiang Li had some guesses in his heart.
In this way, their ancestor named Yasaka is probably the same as Mitsuken Kyoya, a reincarnator who got a cheat from the existence of the so-called "beautiful goddess" and was sent to this world.
It's just that he didn't know what happened later, he chose to become the devil king, and passed on his blood and ability to his direct descendants.
As evidence, Yasaka Eri is clearly a ghost hybrid in this world, but she still has long black hair, which is the characteristic of a reincarnated person.
I don't know if it's due to genetic selection, but her appearance is also very high, and her facial features are very correct, especially her long legs are quite eye-catching, with a good shape and appropriate proportions.
"I remember that the old devil said that your protection has surpassed him and can cover an army of dozens of people, right?"
"That's right."
"Is the level of protection inferior to him?"
As soon as the words are exported.
Yasaka Airi froze all over suddenly, looking at him in disbelief.
"That's not the case!"
She turned her head quickly, her tone tense.
"The power you gave to these two unicorns is not on the same level as the power given to the mimic monster by the old devil king. Don't you think I can't notice it?"
Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the horse.
It looks wobbly and can fall down at any time, but it always stays on the horseback.
His probing eyes fell on Yasaka Eri's slender and tall back.
If the old devil gave 100% of the power to the mimic monster in the treasury, then Yasaka Ellie gave 90% of the power to the unicorn.
After learning the sword of wing-to-wing and perfect control of the body, Jiang Li can see through the opponent's breath, internal organs, and bone health at a glance.
His eyes alone have the functions of X-ray machine, CT machine, nuclear magnetic resonance machine, etc. at the same time.
It's amazing.
He naturally saw through the level gap between Yasaka Ellie and the old devil's protection at a glance.
"That's not the case!"
But she insisted that there is no hierarchy gap.
The expression on his face was very cold, as if he was extremely unwilling to talk about this topic, and no matter how hard he asked, it was impossible to pry her mouth open.
"Yeah."
Jiang Li looked away.
Since she didn't intend to tell, there was no need for him to ask.
Anyway, this kind of ability is mostly missed by him.
And he prefers the kind of power that strengthens himself. Strengthening monsters can certainly gain power, but it cannot become the strongest. It is meaningless to him who pursues self-strengthening. The old devil has proved this point.
…………
after an hour.
The two came to the human village closest to the Demon King's City.
After driving away the unicorn that was haunting the witch and was unwilling to leave, the two walked towards the outer wall of the village one after the other.
That's right.
Although it is only a small village, with no more than a few hundred people at most, it still has a city wall several meters high, which looks almost half fortified.
This is also to guard against a possible sneak attack by the Demon King's army.
"Who are you?"
A villager guarding the city couldn't help but catch his breath when he saw the two people outside, especially Jiang Li, and his eyes quickly developed a good impression.
"We are passing adventurers!"
Jiang Li tidied up the armor on his body, needless to say, the menacing handsomeness had already blown his face.
Yasaka Airi is wearing a set of mage robes, holding the hood with one hand, hiding the ghost horns on her forehead.
But for some reason, the lower body is a miniskirt that only covers the thighs, and a pair of black suspenders are wrapped around the long legs, which looks very sexy.
"Why are you wearing this suit?"
"...My lord father asked me to wear it."
Yasaka Airi silently looked away.
It was the first time in her life that she wore a miniskirt and suspenders, and she was ashamed too!
But her father said that if she wants to seduce Jiang Li, she must use her best strengths, so she can only act like this.
But to be honest, she hardly saw Jiang Li cast a shy look at her along the way, every time he looked at her, his eyes were very clear, without any desire.
"There is no fate between us, just save yourself."
Jiang Li rejected her very bluntly.
This call made her doubt her own charm. Obviously when she was in the army, the monsters under her hand praised her, saying that she could completely fascinate human adventurers.
To be reasonable, she has charm, and she even has a beauty close to that of a goddess in terms of appearance alone.
If Jiang Li was the steel virgin before, he must have agreed eagerly, but now he is an old driver, and he is used to state banquets like Freya, and then look at this kind of cabbage that is parallel to his XP system , even if it is state banquet-level boiled cabbage, it's not sexy!
"Please come in!"
The city guards quickly let the two go.
Do you feel that the guards here are a bit sloppy?
But with a super-sporty man like me around, this is normal!
Thinking so, Jiang Li walked into the village with Yasaka Ellie under the warm welcome of the villagers.
"What are you going to do here?"
Walking on the road paved with stone bricks, Yasaka Airi tried Jiang Li again.
"This is the third time you have asked along the way, what, do you really care?"
Jiang Li glanced at her with a half-smile.
"Or, what did you think of, and you think you have to test me?"
"...Your eyes are really amazing!"
Yasaka Airi sighed, the expression on her face quickly turned cold.
"You want to become the Demon King, in order to help humans, right?"
