Chapter 1074: The Price

Perhaps it was because he had not been back to the Demon Clan's Royal City for many years. After the Red Sleeve Demon Lord walked out of the palace, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he wandered around the royal city, ate some food, and finally walked into a wine shop for the first time.

The demon clan did not drink alcohol in the early years. Later, after the introduction of human wine, some demon clan fell in love with drinking. However, because the price of alcohol shipped from the south was too high, some demon clan later started to make wine themselves.

The process was certainly long, but the end result was pretty good.

The demon clan has brewed wine, but the variety and taste are not as good as those of the human race.

But in fact, the cost has not come down, and the price of the Monster Clan's drinks is still very high. This is understandable, because... here in the Monster Clan, no one grows sorghum or wheat.

Therefore, alcohol has never been widely popular among the demon clan, and only a small number of demon clan are willing to drink it occasionally.

There is only one wine shop in the royal city. Before Hong Xiu Yaojun and Xi Lu walked in, there was no customer here. After the two of them walked in, the wine shop welcomed the only two customers these days.

The red-sleeved demon king came to the counter, reached out and knocked, and said with a smile: "I want a pot of ice."

This is the drink brewed by the demon clan themselves. The name sounds much rougher and bolder than the drink from the human clan.

Listening to the Red Sleeve Demon Lord talking, a head appeared from behind the counter. Without looking at the Red Sleeve Demon Lord, he just said to himself: "This wine stopped brewing thirty years ago and no one drinks it. It used to be the eldest princess who liked it. But the eldest princess has already..."

Halfway through the sentence, the man came to his senses, raised his head, and looked at the person in front of him in surprise. After a while, he swallowed and stammered: "Princess...?!"

Before the Red Sleeve Demon Lord could speak, the man saw Xilu behind the Red Sleeve Demon Lord again, and was even more surprised, "Princess... Your Highness?"

The Red-sleeved Demon Lord reached out and knocked on the table and asked, "No more?"

The man came back to his senses and smiled, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, I haven't brewed this wine in these years, but I still have a jar. For thirty years, I was thinking that one day, your eldest princess could still brew it. When I returned to the royal city, I didn’t expect Her Royal Highness to be here.”

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord smiled, and then said with emotion: "Yes, I haven't come back to see it for many years."

The man didn't answer. He also knew many things. Not coming back and not wanting to come back were always two different things.

It's just this kind of thing, it's not something he can say much about.

He quickly brought over the jar of wine brewed thirty years ago and poured a bowl for each of Red Sleeve Demon Lord and Xi Lu.

These two princesses are sitting opposite each other.

The Red-sleeved Demon Lord looked at the chilly wine in the wine bowl and chuckled: "When I was younger than you, my father often took me out of the palace to drink here. At that time, you didn't My great-grandfather who I met often told me that it would be okay for a woman like me to be a demon emperor. It was actually a casual joke, but I took it seriously. Later, I thought about that position for many years. "

Xilu looked at the Red-sleeved Demon Lord and said, "The Demon Clan has never had a female emperor."

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord looked at Xilu and said, "Maybe you will be next."

This sentence is very common, but only the two of them know the danger in it.

The Demon Emperor is now a god, and he doesn't know how many more years he will live. If he doesn't die, it will be impossible for him to give up the throne.

If you want the throne, you can only kill him.

Killing others is regicide.

Killing in Xilu is called patricide.

That's different.

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and then said something that made Xilu unable to calm down, "Your mother was killed by him."

Xi Lu raised his head, his eyes turned white in an instant, but then became normal in an instant.

"You are investigating the cause of her death, and he knows it."

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord drank wine and said calmly: "If nothing else, there is nothing in the royal city that he doesn't know about. By killing your brother, he is reminding you that there are some things that are not necessary to pursue. Just stop it in moderation." "

Xi Lu said nothing, but there was some confusion in his eyes.

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord said: "You still don't quite understand. In the human race, in the royal family, family ties are the least important. Sons kill their fathers, and fathers kill their sons. Don't they happen all the time? As for the demon realm, it's actually even worse. , but the person who killed your mother was not someone else, but yourself."

This sentence is actually a bit inexplicable, but Xilu can figure it out.

If she was just an ordinary princess, and nothing was so outstanding, then her whole life, and her mother's life, might have ended in that Wutong Palace.

But she is not.

A genius like her must eliminate all hidden dangers. Obviously, in the eyes of the Demon Emperor, her mother is also a hidden danger.

So she died.

It was a very simple matter, maybe the Demon Emperor didn't even do it himself, he just talked about it, and the woman made her own choice.

Xilu said: "It's not me."

When she said this, she was not escaping from anything, nor was she blaming herself for anything. She just looked at the Red Sleeve Demon Lord firmly and said, "It's not me."

she repeated in a rare move.

"You could say the same thing."

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord took a sip of wine and did not refute, but just looked at Xilu with interest.

Although she knew very well that the little guy in front of her had an unusual mind, she did not expect that she would be so determined.

"Since it's not you, then you have your enemy. According to your relationship with your mother, what are you going to do?"

When the Red Sleeve Demon King said this, he was actually very emotional, because this was another confusing matter that could not be explained. If it was really clear, it would definitely be a big deal.

Xilu was just about to speak.

The Red Sleeve Demon King shook his head and said with a smile: "I just said that everything here can't escape his eyes. If he wants to know, he will definitely know."

Xilu frowned, "You have said a lot."

The Red Sleeve Demon King didn't care at all and said: "I don't care anymore, but you may still have to be cautious."

The words were not said clearly, but Xilu understood.

She shook her head with some dissatisfaction.

The Red Sleeve Demon King looked at her, was silent for a moment, and said: "In fact, I also want to know the answer, so..."

Before he finished speaking, the person who had just brought wine to the wine shop died.

He suddenly fell down, and then his head kept rolling, and he rolled to the feet of the Red Sleeve Demon King, and then stopped.

There were also several sounds of heavy objects falling in the distance.

Probably heads falling.

It seemed that many people died around.

After a long time, the Red Sleeve Demon King looked at Xilu and said, "Many things require a price."
