That night before Alan went to sleep, he remembered that he never asked where Bart lived in Rock City.
On second thought, even if he knew his address, he did not have time to visit.
Wayne returned to the blacksmith shop and began to build the Mahjong table in high spirits.
Abraham saw that he had no work, for the time being, so he went back to the backyard to rest.
Abraham was about to sleep when he suddenly felt the Demon King’s call.
He quickly got up and saw that the blacksmith shop in front of him was still lit. He felt relieved and answered the Demon King’s call.
A dense fog rose in front of him. As the fog gradually calmed down, the triangular cotton nightcap was still flopping on the Demon King’s head. His face was still blurry.
“My Demon King!”
Abraham bowed respectfully and lowered his eyes, quietly waiting for the Demon King’s instructions.
However, he waited for a while. The silence spread between the two of them. Abraham gradually felt the heavy atmosphere and guessed that the Demon King was angry that he was moving too slow…
Abraham instantly became flustered. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Demon King was angry and disappointed at his inefficiency.
Cold sweat kept dripping down from his forehead, and Abraham didn’t even dare to reach out to wipe it.
His back, which was bent in a bowing position the entire time, was already sore, but he didn’t dare move without the Demon King’s permission.
Abraham kept thinking of countermeasures. Should he take the initiative and admit his mistake?
At this moment, Abraham suddenly heard a very light snore. He was slightly stunned and his face was filled with confusion.
After waiting for a while, he confirmed that he did hear snoring.
He slowly straightened his back and looked at the fog. He moved closer and listened attentively.
A rhythmic, intermittent, and light snore entered his ears.
“Cough…”
The moment Abraham heard the light cough, he immediately took a step back. The fog drifted a little further away.
“Mmm, you did well. Your king is quite satisfied.”
Abraham humbly listened to the Demon King’s praises and cleverly did not mention the snoring.
The Demon King was also working hard. He even fell asleep while communicating with Abraham. It seemed that he had to work harder to complete the mission and share his king’s burden.
“Abraham, it’s been so long. How’s the stronghold coming along? Why isn’t Xiaohei with you?”
The Demon King’s lazy voice rang out as he asked.
“Sir, Xiaohei and I are working separately. We have made progress on the stronghold. With my help, Xiaohei successfully infiltrated the tavern and is hiding by the tavern owner’s side. I’m undercover by the side of a human powerhouse. He has a very close relationship with the tavern owner…”
Ai Xiaohei’s magic power was completely blocked while she was in the tavern, so naturally, she could not contact the Demon King. The responsibility of reporting fell on him. Abraham began to feel lucky that he was the one reporting the situation. If it was Ai Xiaohei.., he did not know how much she would belittle him.
“Alright, I know your situation. Tomorrow, I will arrange for a new helper. When the time comes, you and Xiaohei will meet up with the helper. The three of you will work together.”
“Ah!” After saying that, the Demon King let out a big yawn.
“That’s it. If there’s anything, contact me. If there’s nothing else, hurry up and finish the mission.”
Before Abraham could reply, the Demon King hung up. The image in the fog instantly disappeared, and soon, the fog also disappeared.
After the communication ended, Abraham saw through the window that the lights in the blacksmith shop were still on. There was no risk of being exposed, so he took off his hood and lay down to sleep.
Wayne and Bart, who received blueprints from Alan, were destined not to sleep that night. However, for powerful mages like them, staying up for one or two nights was not a problem.
Abraham laid in bed feeling somewhat melancholic. He had no idea who the new helper was. The Demon King hung up without saying anything.
Could it be that the king was getting impatient since he had not sent back any useful information and decided to change the person in charge…
Thinking of this possibility, Abraham’s head hurt even more.
Alan was not affected in the slightest and went to bed early.
Ai Xiaohei lived with him and was adapting to his living habits recently.
The city was shrouded in a layer of hazy gray fog all year round.
Even when the sun came out, no one could see the light, they could only feel the heat.
On the main street, there were two rows of small dirt bungalows neatly arranged. Lanterns hung under the eaves of the houses. The ground was a dirt road that would raise a cloud of dust whenever the wind blew.
The people here all had ash-colored faces, but there were faint smiles on their faces.
The streets were not bustling and commerce was not developed. It was as if this place never entered modern society.
Poor, backward, and lacking in resources…
In the center of the city, there was a mansion that seemed to occupy a very wide area. That was the Demon King’s palace. It looked gray. “Gorgeous”, “noble”, and “royal” were not terms used to describe it.
At this moment, every servant in this spacious mansion was on high alert, and their faces were solemn.
“Father is it okay to leave such an important matter to Samael…”
The young man, who looked gentle and refined, lowered his head and spoke to the man who was standing in front of him and exuding strong pressures. Even though that person was his father, he still appeared somewhat aloof and respectful.
“It’s okay. Samael is not brainless. He can complete the mission.”
A dignified voice came from the front. The young man did not refute his father when he heard him. He only stood respectfully behind him.
The person in front of him was the true lord of the Abyss. He ruled the Abyss for thousands of years and no one ever dared to challenge him. He once brought glory to the Abyss and was also one of the three strongest people in Hailar.
He was fierce, cruel, and ruthless. No one had ever seen his face except for his wife.
He stood straight in the middle of the courtyard, looking for the appropriate node in space to open the door. Today, he was going to send the Fury Lord to the human world.
The Evil Lord and his magical pet Xiaohei had been in the human world for a long time, but neither sent back any useful news. The Demon King could not wait any longer.
Such a man who stood at the top was the king of all demons in the Abyss. He should have been a lonely strong man without any weakness.
But the Demon King was not only obedient to his strict wife, but also a slave to his daughter.
It was a glorious thing to be a vanguard and go to the human world, but it was extremely difficult to open a space passage between the Abyss and the human world.
All the important figures within the demon race gathered in the courtyard. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at the Demon King in front of them, quietly waiting for the passage to open.
After a bit, transparent fluctuations appeared in the air again. A pitch-black narrow passage formed. This time, the passage was even smaller than the previous two times.
“Go, Samael,” a dignified voice sounded.
“Yes!” A low reply followed.
A tall man with two long sharp horns on his head stepped out and quickly walked towards the passage.
Suddenly, something strange happened.
No one noticed that a petite girl and a white-fur Cerberus emerged from the crowd.
The Cerberus first rammed into the Fury Lord, stunning the other party. Then it quickly followed the girl who entered the passage first and flew into the shrinking passage.
Following that, the girl’s voice drifted out of the passage, “Father, your daughter will complete your mission. I will conquer the human world!”
Before the Demon King could react, the passage closed. Only his daughter’s childish promise was left floating in the air…
In an instant, a huge wave of violent power swept over the courtyard. Everyone present did not dare to breathe loudly and lowered their heads even lower. Everyone knew how furious the Demon King was at this moment.
In the deep forest outside Rock City, a small opening suddenly appeared in the air. As if the passage had indigestion, it spat out a little girl and a snow-white long-haired puppy.
For a moment, no one noticed that Lolita and her magical pet, a mutated Cerberus, were spat out by the spatial tunnel.
After being spat out of the tunnel, the child had a livid expression and was about to blow up from anger.
However, when she first arrived in the human world, she suddenly realized that her magic powers were restricted. She only had half of what she had when she was in the Abyss.
Her beloved pet could only materialize one of its three heads. The remaining two could not materialize because it lacked magic power.
She was a little flustered. She did not know if her magic power disappeared temporarily or completely…
First, she needed to find her general in the human world!
