Succubus' Manor

After leaving the children's home, Chi Yan and Kleist went to the market.

Vendors have obviously made sufficient preparations for this Spirit Festival. In addition to food and cloth, there are even some people selling flowers. This season has passed the flowering period, and these flowers are all cultivated in the greenhouse.

There should be businessmen from Stettin here, they brought tofu, in order to prolong the shelf life of tofu, the merchants tried every means, in addition to bean skin and dried bean curd, they even made fermented bean curd.

It's just that these things are very cheap in Stettin. Here, the price of a piece of tofu can be compared with a handful of wheat.

The merchants didn’t even say that it was made of soybeans, but boasted that the tofu was made from Stettin’s special product. It took a long time to make it, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to make it successfully. Therefore, they only sold the price of wheat at a loss. It should have been sold as meat.

Most people are simple and honest, and they all believe it.

Although there are not many people who buy it, as long as the merchant can sell it, he can make a net profit.

Chi Yan's eyes were opened - he felt that he didn't have such a thick skin, and he didn't have the ability to brag all over the sky. If he were a businessman, he probably wouldn't be able to make a lot of money, and he could only earn some hard money.

"What kind of flower is this?" Chi Yan stopped at the flower booth.

The vendor quickly put up a smiling face and said, "This is called khaki flower, which only blooms in spring. If you have a girl you love, give her a bouquet of these flowers, and she will love you even more."

The flower is a bit like a rose, but although it is red, the petals are not the same as the rose, and the fragrance is stronger.

Chi Yan: "How much?"

The vendors asked for prices: "One silver coin comes in a bunch, and there are ten silver coins in a bunch."

Chi Yan thought for a while: "One hundred copper coins, if you don't sell them, forget it."

After finishing speaking, Chi Yan walked to other stalls, and the vendor hurriedly said, "Take it! Hey! I lost money, but it's my honor for people like you to see my flowers."

Chi Yan paid and got the flowers.

He glanced back, and Kleist was looking at him.

Kleist hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

Chi Yan: "What do you want to say?"

Kleist: "...I didn't expect you to like flowers."

After all, when I was in Stettin before, there were wild flowers all over the mountains and plains nearby every flower season, and Chi Yan had never seen Chi Yan ask someone to pick flowers to decorate the castle.

Chi Yan: "I like flowers quite a bit, but not that much. Don't you think the color of this flower is beautiful?"

Kleist looked at the bright red flower, but didn't think there was anything beautiful about it, and said honestly, "It's average."

Chi Yan: "..."

Chi Yan: "I've heard of a kind of flower before. That flower is called a rose, which represents love. But I've never seen it. Although this bunch of flowers is not a rose, the color is similar."

"I bought these flowers for you. If you don't like them, I will..."

Kleist stretched out his hand, and he looked into Chi Yan's eyes: "Who said I don't like it? What do you do if I don't like it? Give it to someone else?"

Chi Yan: "...Not really, if you don't like it, I'll ask him to return the product, at least it's a hundred copper coins."

Kleist took the bouquet from Chi Yan's hand. He looked tall and handsome, with an aura that no one should enter. When he held a bouquet of warm and blooming flowers in his arms, his whole temperament changed. People on the road couldn't help but look at him.

Moreover, Kleist has long, pitch-black hair, which is very rare here. Most people here have brown and golden hair, and only a few people have red hair. Among the crowd, Kleist is particularly eye-catching.

Chi Yan was very proud.

After shopping was enough, Chi Yan went back to the hotel, and Kleist took the demons to look for the corpse outside the city.

According to the clues given by the children, the corpses were buried on a mountain outside the city, which was under the control of the Holy Court, and ordinary people could not go up there.

It was discovered before that it was washed down the mountain because of heavy rain.

If it wasn't for the rain, no one would have noticed.

The demons brought by Kleist are all good at digging holes - they all have sharp claws and powerful arms. After they return to their original form, they will become very short and suitable for hiding. After all, only Kleist has wings. Cannot land from the air without being detected.

And Mozou has a sharper nose than pigs and dogs.

Chi Yan has always felt that the demons are probably the darlings of this world. They have strong bodies, can survive under the abyss, and their genes are still very strong. If the demons intermarry with other races, it is estimated that it will be less than 100 years. There are only demons on this continent.

Chi Yan used to be worried, but now he feels that this is probably a natural trend.

The physical functions and special abilities of the demons are stronger, and they are the race at the forefront of evolution.

Other races resist them and fear them for a simple reason.

After generations of intermarriage, there is only one race in this continent. The demons like Mrs. Campbell who have been intermarried for many generations are actually different from the original demons to a large extent. She has a human mindset.

This is probably the correct development path.

In the past, Chi Yan would only think from his own point of view - in his heart, he was a human race, so he wanted to safeguard the interests of the human race.

From the perspective of the human race, I am afraid of being assimilated.

But jumping out of this framework, he suddenly felt the development of this world, and racial assimilation was an inevitable trend.

This is about the Datong of the world.

Even without him, without Kleist, the demons would emerge from the abyss one day.

let it go.

If this is the law of nature, then human power is irresistible.

After Chi Yan figured it out, he finally knew how to deal with the demons in the future.

Don't think of them as a race from another world, they are human beings, just like the human goblin tauren dwarves, they are intelligent creatures.

Kleist led the Mozu to search on the mountain.

They dug up all the places where there were corpses, but most of them were dead bones that had rotted and turned into corpses.

"This person has been dead for at least 30 years." A demon rubbed his nose and pulled out a bone that had fallen apart.

Mozu: "About eight years old?"

The demons didn't think the Holy House was cruel, but disgusted - they were accused by the human race of killing each other, which was the act of wild beasts.

But in fact, they are not much better than them, at least they will not turn their own race into slaves, at most they will kill each other.

Kleist stood on the tree trunk: "Look for the ones that haven't rotted."

The demons continued to search, and finally found a few corpses that had just been buried on the mountainside.

Probably the person who did this work was lazy, and the burial was not deep, only a thin layer of soil.

There were three bodies, all without clothes, and one had been strangled.

One was beaten to death, probably bleeding from internal organs. Although there were scars on his body, there were no fatal injuries.

The last one was more miserable. His intestines were pulled out. He was too young, and he was probably raped to death. It seemed that there was more than one person.

Kleist: "Wrap them up."

After night fell, Kleist himself took the three wrapped corpses to the castle, directly through the window, and placed the corpses in the queen's room.

If the queen can't find out that this is what the Holy Court did, then she doesn't have to fight with the Holy Court.

The queen talked to the minister in the middle of the night, but as soon as she returned to the room, she saw the three dead bodies lying on her bed.

"Your Highness!"

"These are corpses!"

The maids were in a mess.

They stood in front of the queen in a panic, preventing the queen from seeing the corpse on the bed.

But the Queen said wearily, "Get out of the way."

Maids: "Your Highness, if it is..."

Queen: "If the person who put the corpses here intends to harm me, then I will definitely die if he comes here in the middle of the night, but if he didn't do that, it proves that these three corpses are very important."

The queen talked with the minister about tomorrow's affairs for a day. She was so tired that she didn't want to say a word. After the maid stepped aside, she finally saw the three children on the bed clearly.

These children looked like civilians at first glance. Their skin was rough, their limbs were thin, but they had a big belly that didn't match their figure.

Only children who have not been able to eat well since childhood will do this.

The queen walked to the bed. She was still tired just now, but suddenly there was a burning anger in her eyes.

"Call me Abbott and Juster."

The maid hurriedly obeyed.

The queen's hands were shaking with anger.

She recognized that these children were her people, not the holy children of the Holy Court.

The Holy Academy will absorb children, and those who are carefully selected are the Holy Sons, who will be sent out when they grow up, and if they are lucky, they will become Holy Masters.

But other children will not be wasted, they will become holy children.

When he grows up, he will become a holy servant or a holy messenger.

If it was a child of a believer in the Holy Court, even if the queen felt disgusted, she would not be so angry.

But once it is determined that these are just ordinary civilian children, it is completely different.

Because if these children grow up well, in a few years, they will become her people and become good children who maintain her rule.

She has a child herself, and she knows very well how difficult it is for a child to grow up, and a slight illness or pain may kill them.

The maid whispered: "Your Highness, they may be children of the Holy Court..."

Queen: "They are not."

The maid is a bit strange.

The queen sneered and said: "The Holy Court will not choose such children. Their hands and feet are wide, and their parents and grandparents must be workers. The Holy Court will only want beautiful children."

The maid said sharply: "Your Highness, the Holy Court is..."

The queen clenched her fists angrily, but she calmed down quickly.

This is her chance, now is not the time to be angry.

Such an opportunity is not easy to find, and it is not easy to have a handle on the Holy Court, but the three corpses are not convincing, she must have more convincing evidence, so that these three corpses can become her weapon against the Holy Court .

The queen calmed down: "In addition to Abbott and Just, call Anderson."

Another maid pushed down.

The queen frowned.

She had to be foolproof, otherwise, as long as the Holy Court had a chance, they would definitely bite back.
