Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 73
Gevin was stunned. He even saw that after the warrior made such a cruel proposal, the demon beside him just smiled helplessly and indulgently, with an attitude as if Ansel could do whatever he wanted. Then, Gevin saw Ansel coming up and smiling at him.
“Bang!”
The monster revealed its true colors!
Gevin was hit so hard that his tentacles came out, and he lay on the ground in a miserable state. Ansel stepped on his back with one foot, looking extremely vicious. The most amazing thing was that the demon was still whispering beside him.
“Be gentle, if you kill him, there will be nothing left to play with.”
Gevin: “…Ah!!!”
While screaming like a groundhog, he seized the only gap he could breach and questioned fiercely.
“Warrior Ansel! You actually colluded with the Secret Council!”
Ansel sneered upon hearing this, and before he could speak, Saros next to him was already frowning and rebuked.
“Did you just scold him? I’ll twist your head off!”
Gevin: “???”
The world has become magical, no, it seems like it has always been a magical world. The devil is protecting the warrior, what kind of true love is this! Even crossing several racial barriers!
Ansel ignored Gevin’s questioning, it was just a dying struggle by someone who’s about to die, so of course he wouldn’t take it to heart. Moreover, he suddenly had a bit of a bad intention. Seeing that Gevin was still screaming so loudly, it must be because his worldview hasn’t collapsed enough, so he decided to give him another dose.
He leisurely approached Gevin, his sunset-colored eyes blinking slightly. Saros’ heart tightened, no way, Ansel wouldn’t perform that act again!
The one where he switched races instantly!
Gevin stared blankly, and there were still some thin threads entangled around the corners of his eyes. He saw Ansel brush his eyes with one hand, and when he opened his eyes again, he had a pair of demonic vertical pupils!
Gevin: “Ahhhh!!!”
Ansel is not human!
However, the torture wasn’t over yet. Gevin saw Ansel tidy up his hair, especially the top of his head. Then, between the white hair, a pair of luxurious horns inlaid with gem fragments emerged!
Gevin: “Ahhhh!!!”
Ansel is a demon!
At the same time, another Demon King standing next to him, slowly and empathetically covered his face with one hand.
—— Ansel’s speed of disguising is getting faster and faster. He was now wearing contact lenses and horn headbands.
However, Saros’ worries soon turned into joy. In this way, won’t he get to see Ansel be a warrior today, a demon king tomorrow, and an angel with soft and warm wings the day after tomorrow? !
My heart feels beautiful again.
After scaring the unfortunate monster to his heart’s content, Ansel beat him into his original form and tied him up.
A pile of human-shaped parts were spread on the ground, with hair, eyeballs, and other objects scattered all over the ground. Obviously, the monster has used these things over the years to disguise itself as Gevin .
“I’ve read some documents in the Demon Hunter Club and found out that Gevin has been in the club for more than 30 years.” Ansel recalled the information he had read, which was the part of the intelligence he paid the most attention to in the club.
Because the monsters in the human world were too smart, he always felt that there might be monsters lurking in the Demon Hunter Club. And sure enough, it was just as he expected.
“Gevin was a close friend of Sylvia’s father. After his old friend died, Gevin has been taking care of Sylvia.” Ansel recounted lightly, “It seems that the death of Sylvia’s father, the previous head of the Demon Hunter Club, is also quite suspicious.”
It is very likely that Gevin was secretly harmed by the monster. After all, a weak orphan girl is definitely easier to control than the experienced former head. Over the years, “Gevin” has also been influencing the club’s major decisions. Maybe “Gevin” is the one who guided the club to regard monsters as demons.
“Monsters in the human world are exceptionally intelligent.” Saros also glanced at the pile in the corner. “The monster didn’t choose to change itself completely, but adopted the method of eating half and keeping half, and even supplied nutrition to the remaining part. In this way, the hair will still grow, and the skin will still have wrinkles over the years… It’s a perfect disguise.”
Such a disguise, if not very close, even the Demon King will find it difficult to detect without paying attention.
Ansel’s gaze turned back to the box brought by Gevin, and he already knew what was inside— His former business partner Luther who was kidnapped by Gevin. Ansel’s hand gently tapped on the box, but there was no response from inside.
“It’s because of the magic pattern.” Saros reached out and took the box, “Do you want to open it now?”
“No, it’s better not to let him know about my connection with the Secret Council.” Ansel shook his head, “I just feel like my former business partner is always caught up in bad fate.”
“…He is the Demonic Sword, right?”
Saros looked at him quietly for a while and nodded.
“Hm.”
“Can you sense it?” Ansel asked again.
“Yes.”
Ansel lowered his eyelashes. As expected, angels can sense the Holy Sword, demons can sense the Demonic Sword, the Holy Sword drives away monsters, and the Demonic Sword attracts monsters. It was just a momentary mistake that changed the situation for Luther and Joey. Although they went down a different path, they still returned to their respective duties in the end.
But Ansel believed that both the Demonic Sword and the Holy Sword were actually born without distinguishing between good or evil. Just like angels and demons, the Holy Sword and the Demonic Sword also stood on both sides of humans like shadows, with no distinction between good and evil. If we were to draw a portrait of the human race, it would definitely be like this— the little human had an angel with a halo on one side and a demon with horns on the other side.
Looking at his expression that looked a little lost, Saros asked with concern.
“What are you thinking about?”
Ansel shook his head and looked back in the direction of Gevin again.
“I’m thinking about how to deal with this guy?”
The monster shrank its body, looking like a dead duck, refusing to answer any questions. Ansel felt that this monster was indeed somewhat naive. Although some of these monsters have a high IQ and had smooth sailing in the human world for too long, they had never seen the methods of the Demon King.
“Send him back to the demon world.” Saros narrowed his dark-blue vertical pupils, “Then interrogate him about everything he knows about his own tribe, and also ask how many monsters like him are hidden in the human world.”
Ansel also thought the same way. After finally catching a monster that could communicate, he must not let it go easily!
“Your side or mine?” He raised his eyebrows slightly, and Saros laughed.
“Are there any talents specialized in torture tactics in Suberbian City?”
“…Of course.”
After discussing for a while, the two demon kings decided to use the reverse demon summoning array to pack Gavin and send him to Suberbian City. Ansel promised him that he would get a result in half a month, which made Saros a little curious.
Legend has it that the Suberbian city harbors dragons and crouching tigers. Judging from Ansel’s performance, it seems to be true?
…Where did he recruit so many talents from!
***
Demon Realm, Suberbian City.
The package signed by Prime Minister Andre has been secretly escorted underground, and the five senses are completely isolated. The monster named “Gevin” is wandering in the darkness.
On the other side, a succubus maid hurried through the corridors. Finally, she saw the demon she was looking for standing in front of a bright floor-to-ceiling window.
“Sister Fuya!” The little maid shouted in a lively voice, “It’s time!”
The next second, she was flicked on the forehead.
“Didn’t I say that you can’t use those words used by assassins and thieves anymore.”
The little maid stuck out her tongue.
“Sister Fuya, Lord Andre asks you to go underground.”
There is a job that specifically requires Sister Fuya’s presence.
Fuya calmly adjusted the hem of her black and white skirt, handed the duster in her hand to the little maid, and slowly went underground. After passing through a door that required a password and a magical breath, Fuya quickly arrived at Andre’s side.
“Fuya, I’ll give you half a month.”
The prime minister said in a light voice, with the pair of glasses on his eyes reflecting slightly.
“Take out everything he knows, and I mean… everything.”
“Take out?” Fuya smiled.
“You can use whatever methods, just leave a breath.”
“I understand. I will follow the order of His Majesty.”
The door to the underground was completely closed, and the monster was finally released from the box. It vaguely saw a candlelight. Under the candlelight, there were the bright and flashing vertical pupils of the succubus.
The Demon King’s Palace was very lively today, because this time Ansel took advantage of the teleportation array to send back a large gift bag of snacks from the human world to his subordinates!
Guxin held a gift bag full of snacks, feeling a bit emotional. It was said that His Majesty bought it for them with the money he earned from working in the human world. Wuwuu! How meaningful!
Seeing that there was nothing beside Bululu, he was surprised.
“Bululu, have you eaten all your gift bags?”
Bululu was immediately angry, his eyes and mouth were floating around in his translucent body.
“How is that possible! I put them directly into the private vault! It’s safest there!”
He was about to quarrel with Guxin, when he suddenly heard the phoenix Finny yelling beside him.
“There is one more gift bag!”
Bululu bounced over instantly. Sure enough, after counting everyone, even including Vassago who was now in the human world, there was one more gift bag left! Bululu immediately rubbed his fists and palms, eager to fight. This extra gift bag belongs to him…
Footsteps echoed lightly and heavily, and the black outer robe fluttered in the air. The sudden visitor drifted like a cloud, and the crow head hidden under the hood looked strange and aloof. The demon with the crow head held up the snack gift bag, and just like when he arrived quietly, he floated away without saying a word.
Finny opened his eyes wide.
“It’s that…alchemist…”
The alchemist who was invited by His Majesty’s letter and is working on constructing a passage between the demon world and the human world. The other party has a crow’s head and lives in seclusion all day long, perfectly fitting the impression of “aloof”, “strange”, and “difficult to get along with” that alchemists give people.
Bululu also looked at the alchemist for a while, then smacked his lips.
“Forget it, he will leave after building the passage anyway.”
There is no threat to their position next to His Majesty!
***
After sending Gevin away, Ansel was free and at Saros’ suggestion, the two of them fought fiercely on the chessboard until dawn, not knowing when they fell asleep in the end. When he opened his eyes again, Ansel found himself resting on Saros’ demon bat wings, while Saros was still moving the chess pieces and playing by himself.
Ansel sat up slowly.
“You’re addicted to chess.”
The Demon King glanced at him with his dark-blue vertical pupils.
“Aren’t you the same?” He paused for a moment and then picked up the chess piece to tempt Ansel, “Do you still want to play? There’s nothing to do in the Secret Council recently, we can wait until the next day.”
Ansel was really tempted. There weren’t many people who could play chess with him on the same level, and Saros was the first one. But he still remembered his other identity. Out of professionalism, he should return to the town to continue organizing demon hunters to hunt demons.
And… Luther…
“It is not suitable to take the Demonic Sword to the Demon Hunter Club. You can leave it with me.”
Indeed, humans admire the Holy Sword and dislike the Demonic Sword. Luther might suffer harm if he goes back. Staying in the Secret Council, with Saros watching over him, Ansel felt relieved.
“Then I’ll go back first. I’ll come to play with you later when I am free!”
Hearing him say this, Saros’ eyelids twitched.
Come to play with him again? How is that possible! After returning, Ansel will have to work two jobs and deal with the affairs of the demon world, and he still wants to come to play with him? He will definitely be waiting in vain!
For now, the only solution is…
“Can’t I go with you?”
Saros said, and under Ansel’s somewhat surprised gaze, he said righteously.
“You have already seen my workplace. I should also go to see your work situation.”
That’s right, it’s a perfectly justifiable reason to go with Ansel!
Ancestors of the Asmodeus family! My thoughts have never been so clear!
Ansel thought about it for a moment and then became happy.
Great! Take Saros to work together!
Saros will work for him, and he will be able to slack off!
The author has something to say:
Saros: ? ? ?
Saros: You don’t love me at all! You just want me to work for you… QWQ
