The Demon King from a Thousand Years Ago

Ask him to lend me a light?

Lance sized up the middle-aged man in front of him, who was dressed in a black Swallow-tailed Coat and had a slicked-back hairstyle. The man looked at Lance with a hint of a smile mixed with curiosity, and his aura was somewhat mixed.

He wasn't from Saint Blue City, or perhaps he wasn't even human, but he had a strange feeling that the middle-aged man's eyes were familiar.

Lance snapped his fingers, and a wisp of flame appeared at the tip of his index finger. "Have we... met somewhere before?"

"What a coincidence, I have the same feeling, as if we knew each other a thousand years ago."

The middle-aged man in the black suit glanced at the flame on Lance's index finger and sneered, "Someone like the Viscount doesn't even carry a box of matches?"

Lance stared into the middle-aged man's eyes, the phrase echoing in his mind. "It's like we've known each other for a thousand years."

A thousand years ago... He knew too many people a thousand years ago to recall their faces. The fact that this middle-aged man seemed familiar to him meant that he must have had contact with this guy a thousand years ago.

His very words carried the marks of time; this middle-aged man was an ancient being from a thousand years ago.

Indeed, it's true that I only thought of this person for a short time.

The contact time should not have been long.

"I can't quite remember. Could you give me a little more hint? I want to know if I did anything to wrong you a thousand years ago."

"They must have done something to wrong me, otherwise I wouldn't be here in front of you, Viscount." The middle-aged man exhaled a puff of smoke, his gaze falling on the four young princesses: Tiji, Beitina, Fuleiya, and Meiweisi. "You all seem quite interested in that black dragon man in the square. Go and have a chat with him."

"I'll chat with the Viscount of Saint Blue here for a bit, and also take this opportunity to ask him for a debt."

Tiji, Fuleiya, Meiweisi, Beitina glanced at Lance subconsciously. They were clearly a little wary of Lance. At this moment, they were completely unsure whether the Lance in front of them was actually the Black Dragonkin Lance.

"Don't be afraid of him. I can hold him off for a while. Go ahead. I'm also quite interested in that black dragon man, but right now, I'm more interested in this viscount beside me. Once I'm done with my business here, I'll go and meet him."

"???"

Could this middle-aged man in the black Swallow-tailed Coat also come from the abyss? Judging from his tone, it seems so.

He even knew that the four of them wanted to find the Black Dragonman. Does that mean he also knew that the Black Dragonman might be the Black Dragonkin Lance?

strangeness.

If he suspected that the Black Dragonman was the Black Dragonkin Lance, why did he still appear in front of Viscount Lance?

Could it be that he knows this Viscount Saint Lan?

Did they know he wasn't Black Dragonkin Lance? Tiji and the other three exchanged glances, suppressed their doubts, thanked the middle-aged man, and ran towards the square.

This demon, disguised as a middle-aged human man, must be very strong.

Without some strength, he would never dare to appear directly in front of Viscount Lance Saint Lance.

Lance did not stop Tiji, Beitina, Fuleiya, and Meiweisi, and Lance's identity as the black dragon was destined to be exposed.

If it is not exposed, the Abyss Devil will continue to appear in Saint Blue from afar, which will seriously affect the security of Saint Blue.

It's good that we've been exposed. We can take this opportunity to completely sever ties with the Abyss and raise our cubs quietly from now on.

"You're being a bit too arrogant. You're treating my territory like your own backyard, coming and going as you please."

"Have you guessed where I'm from? Do you remember who I am?"

"No."

Lance extinguished the flame on his index finger, having a rough guess about the middle-aged man's identity, but he couldn't be sure.

"It seems that the title 'Viscount' has made you forget the identity you once used. Then I will address you in a different way."

The middle-aged man threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, exhaling a puff of white smoke. Looking into Lance's eyes, he smiled and uttered a title that Lance had long forgotten, "The hero's partner, the Non-Existent Potion Master."

The Non-Existent Potion Master.

As he uttered those words, the middle-aged man with slicked-back hair seemed momentarily dazed. Back then, when the Hero Party 'Hero Party attacked him, he almost wiped them out with his own abilities. Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, the Potion Master, whom he had always ignored, intervened and defeated him with the so-called "Sacrifice Method".

It caused him serious injury.

Before the Potion Master sacrificed himself, he always thought that the strongest Hero Party was that hero. It wasn't until the Potion Master sacrificed himself that he realized how wrong he was.

The Hero Party that attacked him, the Potion Master who was ignored by him and his teammates, was the strongest and most cunning.

This bastard not only schemed against him, but also schemed against his teammates before leaving, not only taking all their money but also making them remember him for life.

The Non-Existent Potion Master. The moment this Non-Existent Potion Master lit a flame on his index finger, he knew that the one who had dealt him a devastating blow back then was this low-key, almost invisible old fox.

One more thing, he previously thought that the "Non-Existent Potion Master" was Black Dragonkin Lance.

Seeing the black dragon in the square and then Lance in front of him, he realized that the "Non-Existent Potion Master" from the Hero Party back then was not the Black Dragonkin Lance.

It is the human being in front of me.

"Demon King."

The words "soon to become a legend" popped out of Lance's mouth.

No wonder this guy looked familiar; he's the unlucky demon king that Leige almost killed back then.

"Your memory is still pretty good. How do you plan to settle that debt from back then?"

Demon King Leimengde smiled. Saint Blue was the territory of the "Non-Existent Potion Master." If this guy didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he wouldn't mind causing a scene here.

Since it's not his territory anyway, even if it's destroyed and rebuilt, the guy in front of him will be the one who has to pay for it.

The reason he didn't attack right away was because he wanted to conserve his strength to fight the Black Dragonkin Lance. Only by defeating Black Dragonkin Lance would he be qualified to compete for the Demon Emperor Position.

Furthermore, he didn't know if the other members of the Hero Party were here, especially the hero Leige, whom he hadn't seen for over a thousand years; that guy should be even stronger than before.

If all his Non-Existent Potion Master teammates were here, he wouldn't be guaranteed victory. He's become stronger than he was back then, and those guys who attacked him back then are also getting stronger.

Not to mention that the [Non-Existent Potion Master] is not only a Potion Master, but also a Sword Cultivator.

He once blasted two giant dragons down from the sky with a single sword strike.

"I'll compensate you?" Lance's eyes revealed a look of disdain. "Did Leige damage your brain? If I hadn't used the Sacrifice Method to severely injure you back then, giving you a chance to escape, you would have been beaten to death by Leige long ago."

Don't be unconvinced. Leige is no ordinary hero; he is the "Heavenly Chosen Hero." A hero like him can suddenly unleash his full power and kill you, even if you reduce him to a sliver of health.

In that situation back then, you seemed to have the upper hand, but in reality, Leige, whom you had severely injured and was on the verge of death, was on the verge of unleashing his full power and killing you despite being of a higher level.

Think carefully about that battle back then. At any moment, did you sense an aura so powerful it defied logic? Don't rush to refute me. Think about it carefully. I'm right here; I won't run away. Recall it carefully.

???

Demon King Leimengde was momentarily stunned by Lance's words.

He frowned.

What does that mean? So, when Lance hit him back then, it was actually a way of saving him?

Not only can he not cause trouble for this guy, he should also thank him instead.

Are you really going to treat him like a fool? Demon King Leimengde's eyes gradually turned ferocious.

"Stop your impotent rage and think it over."

After glancing at the Demon King who was about to go berserk, Lance looked past Demon King Leimengde and at Tiji and the others.

Ha. Four little cowards, not daring to go directly to him for a chat, instead went to the dragon cub first.

The dragon cub's reaction was also amusing. When it saw the four abyss princesses suddenly appear in front of it, it instinctively threw the snowball in its dragon claw at Tiji's face, then turned to run away, but was caught by the quick-thinking Beitina who grabbed its tail.

Because there was snow on the paving stones in the square, the little dragon's two short legs slid wildly in place, seemingly running a long way, but actually still staying in the same spot.

"Help!" The baby dragon Lucia wanted Lance to save her, but as soon as she uttered the word "help," she suddenly remembered that she was now a black dragon cub, not Amethyst Dragonling.

What is she afraid of? The black dragon cub doesn't know any Abyss Princess.

But her act of turning around and running away had probably already exposed her. Her four sworn sisters were very clever and cunning; a simple coloring wouldn't fool them at all.

hateful.

Why did they suddenly appear in Saint Blue?

It was still New Year's Eve.

Knowing that demons had been frequently appearing in Saint Blue recently, she never expected that Abyss Royalty would be here.

Aren't you afraid of being imprisoned by the powerful beings of the human world?

Or were they captured alive by the temple's clergy?

They're incredibly bold.

Are you still going to pretend or not?

It seems I can't keep up the act any longer.

"Why are you running away? We risked our lives to come see you, and you not only don't offer to treat us to drinks and food, but you also run away when you see us. Are we still your little sisters?"

Tiji brushed the snow off her face, walked up to the baby dragon, and pinched its cheeks with both hands, pulling them left and right.

They've gotten so bold, they even dared to throw snowballs at her.

She had suffered twice at the hands of this bad guy. The first time she met him, he hit her on the head with Lightning Hammer.

When she met her in the human world this time, she threw a snowball at her face again.

Beitina, Meiweisi, Fuleiya, and the others were all there, so why did they throw it in her face?

Angry!

"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your girlfriend. Stop pinching me! You're going to pinch my face until it's too big!"

Beitina released the baby dragon's tail, and the four of them surrounded it.

Tiji stood in front of the baby dragon, Beitina stood behind the baby dragon, Meiweisi and Fuleiya stood on the left and right sides of the baby dragon.

"You think your little disguise can fool us?"

Tiji released her grip on the baby dragon's cheek and gave it a disapproving glare.

"Look, I have Dragon Horn Bud on my head. Do the young dragons you know have Dragon Horn Bud on their heads? No, they don't, right?"

"."

"Stop struggling. Follow us. Something big is going to happen in Saint Blue in the next couple of days. It's not safe here. Stay with us, don't follow Lance. He's about to be targeted by everyone."

Staying by his side will only bring you trouble. The four of us don't want to die on the same day, month, and year as you."

"Huh? Lance's going to be targeted by allies?"

"Right."

"Your older sister is here too?"

"I don't know, but many powerful and terrifying beings have come."

Meiweisi revealed a little information to the young dragon, but she couldn't reveal any more specific details because that was all she knew.

In the past two days, the demons that have come to the human world include not only royalty, but also demon kings and some powerful lone demons.

All the Demon Race who aspired to Demon Emperor Position came.

Well, through Lucia's words, they confirmed one thing: the black dragon was indeed the Black Dragonkin Lance.

The Lance they encountered before was not the Black Dragonkin Lance.

Thump thump thump thump—

Four snowballs exploded on the heads of Tiji, Beitina, Meiweisi, and Fuleiya.

It's Lance.

Lance rolled four snowballs and threw them at the four cowards.

Lance, in his dragon form, smiled as he approached Tiji and the other three.

When Tiji and the other three saw that Lance, the black Lance, had provoked them, they all glared angrily at Lance.

"Welcome to the colorful human world. Why don't you four little ones greet me? Are you afraid I'll report you? Or are you afraid I'll hand you over to the temple? Don't bully my dragon cub. If you want to play, play with her properly."

"You really are Black Dragonkin Lance?!"

"Genuine or genuine."

"What's your real name?" Tiji asked.

The Viscount of Saint Blue is named Lance.

She didn't believe that the Black Dragonkin Lance was also called Lance; she was Black Dragonkin Lance it was a fake name.

"Lance, does that mean only others are allowed to be called Lance, but I'm Lance? It's normal to have the same name."

"Having the same name is normal, but why did you use Lance's face? You big liar!"

Tiji pointed at Lance, who was standing not far from the restaurant entrance, and questioned Lance.

Lance smiled and said, "I don't understand what you're saying. You've mistaken me for someone else. This has nothing to do with me."

Sharing the same face is something that can only be left to Tiji and the others to misunderstand; there's no point in him trying to explain.

Besides, their older sisters haven't even shown up yet, oh, and there's also the Demon King from the abyss.

It's a chaotic mess.

I never expected that this year's New Year's Eve at Saint Blue would turn into such a chaotic scene of demons dancing.

The guy standing at the restaurant entrance is a genuine demon king. The reason we haven't attacked him yet is because we've encountered the [Non-Existent Potion Master].

Tonight is destined to be anything but quiet.

Saint Blue City, the Red Dragon Westin has been thoroughly enraged by Jessica from the Ancient God Temple.

There are also demon kings, princesses, and other powerful demons lurking in the city. How can we ensure that the people of Saint Blue City are not affected?
