The next day, early morning.
Today, everyone at Eligos Peerage did not go to the special training. Instead, they were all called to their tents by Leo and sat down in front of him.
"There won't be any special training today?"
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Leo who was yawning in front of him, folded his arms and asked.
The rest of the people also looked at Leo, with inquiring expressions on their faces, but not much doubts.
After half a month of special training, the four dependent girls have not only increased in strength a lot, but their temperaments have also changed. Even their spirits have become completely different from before. They look like they are quietly waiting for Leo's instructions, and they have a sense of calmness that they can calmly accept no matter what happens.
Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita and others like this, Leo didn't say anything, but he was very satisfied in his heart.
He knew that before this, although the girls in front of him had possessed supernatural powers and were no longer ordinary people because they had become his servants, their mentality had not changed much.
After the Old Satan Faction attack happened, although the mentality of the girls began to change, they were only initially out of the category of ordinary people.
In this half-month special training, the girls have experienced high-intensity exercise and high-intensity fighting that they have never experienced before, which was unimaginable to them before.
If nothing else, let's just talk about the lethal amount of basic training every morning. Even the determined boys may not be able to persist, but not only did they persist, they also had to suffer merciless bombardment and interference from Leo in the process. If such treatment were given to those little fairies, they would have exploded long ago.
Yukino Yukinoshita and others persisted all the way, and the final changes were naturally visible to the naked eye. They finally established the self-knowledge and self-confidence that they were not ordinary girls, so that they became much calmer and calmer in their words and deeds.
Now they are qualified dependents and qualified supernatural beings.
If they were allowed to go back to the time when Old Satan Faction attacked them now, Leo believes that they would all pass the test of the first five rooms and arrive at Master Chamber where they are.
"There will be no special training today." Leo met the girls' gazes, put one hand on his waist and lowered the other, and said, "Today, let's go to Gremory to collect them."
Gremory collar?
Isn't that the territory of Senior Sister Rias Gremory's family?
Yukino Yukinoshita and others looked at each other, then looked at Leo again, asking silently.
"It's like this----"
Leo told all the girls about the conversation he had with Sirzechs yesterday and said.
"After contacting Lord Sirzechs, he told me that I can just go to his house and wait for him today. People from the Phenex Clan will also go there, and we will meet there to meet the eldest lady Phenex who is about to become my dependent and your companion."
Hearing this, the girls were stunned at first, and then had some doubts.
"It turns out that Devil can also become a dependent?" Utaha Kasumigaoka muttered, "I thought that only races other than Devil can accept Evil Piece and become Devil's dependent by reincarnating into Devil."
After all, he is already Devil, so why should he accept Evil Piece and become someone else's dependent Devil?
"This is because you take it for granted." Leo saw that Utaha Kasumigaoka's understanding was wrong, so he explained, "It is true that most of the dependent Devil are reincarnated from other races, but it is not true that dependent servants who are Devil themselves do not exist."
"Some of them are Devil who were born as civilians. They want to obtain efficient training methods and become stronger by becoming High-Class Devil's dependent servants, or they want to establish relationships with those Pure-blood Devil who were born as nobles and rise to prominence."
"Some of them were spotted by High-Class Devil who came from noble families because of their outstanding talents and strength, and were recruited by them, and eventually joined the other party's dependent team."
"Don't think that Devil will not become someone else's dependent servant. Because of Rating Game's relationship, many Devil actually want to use a stage to show their own value, so as to Climbing up in the Devil world, these people usually hope to join a "king" with potential and strength, which is equivalent to the knights in the Middle Ages selecting a monarch worthy of loyalty in order to realize their dreams."
"So, many people who are Devil themselves will actually choose to become other people's dependent servants, especially those powerful "kings" and powerful dependent teams. As long as they can make a certain reputation among Rating Game, there will be many people who want to join them."
Ravel Phenex·Phenex is actually in a similar situation, because Phenex Clan is optimistic about the future of Eligos Peerage and Leo In the future of, I believe that he will make a name for himself in the Devil world, so he chose to let his daughter join him and follow him to make a name for himself in the Devil world.
If Leo can become the pillar of the Devil world in the future and have a status no less than that of the Demon King, then even the status of a dependent servant will be far higher than that of an ordinary High-Class Devil, and it will be much more noble than being an ordinary rich lady.
If this were not the case, there would not be so many Devil families willing to send their own people to let Leo choose.
As long as it's profitable, what if you become a dependent servant?
This is the value of Devil.
Of course----
"The premise is that we have to have the value that people will not hesitate to do this." Leo said, "In the past, we were unknown, or I didn't receive enough attention in the Devil world, so things like this didn't happen."
"But now, we have fully demonstrated our capabilities and value. Naturally, there are as many people as possible who are interested in this."
"This eldest lady Phenex Clan is the person I have chosen, and I only like this one."
"Today, we are going to meet this young lady and see how good she is."
This is actually the result of a two-way choice.
Leo has chosen the other party and wants to meet her. The other party will also want to meet her to see if she is really worthy of her devotion.
"Is she from the Phenex Clan?" Asuna Yuuki seemed a little interested and asked, "Then can she make Tears of the Phoenix?"
"The opponent is still immortal, right?" Mahiru Shiina was also deeply impressed by the people in this family and asked, "Is there really an immortal Devil?"
The girls all asked curiously.
"How do you say that?"
Leo scratched his head and said this immediately.
"Tears of the Phoenix, the other party will definitely be able to make it. Anyone who is Phenex Clan will make Tears of the Phoenix, but it is definitely a fantasy to make it simply. It is said that it must go through special ritual processing to make it successfully, so even if there is this thing, there will definitely not be too many."
"As for immortality, Phenex's people can indeed be resurrected immediately even if they are wiped out. However, the body can be resurrected, but the spirit is not necessarily resurrected. If you want to defeat Phenex, the most direct way is to destroy the opponent's spirit, or beat him until Demonic Power is exhausted and stops regenerating."
"If the strength is far greater than that of the opponent, it is possible to defeat the spirit and the body together. Therefore, although the immortal body is very strong, it is not invincible. There are still ways to restrain it."
Otherwise, Phenex Clan would have dominated Underworld long ago.
Precisely because of its obvious weaknesses, it is not invulnerable. Although Phenex Clan's status in the Devil world is high, it is not too high. At least it is incomparable to the Grand Prince's Family, the Grand Duke's Family, and the families of the major demon kings.
"You don't have to treat each other too special. Even if the other person is Phoenix, you won't be inferior to her. In fact, the other person is not as good as you."
Leo said this, but it is also true.
At least, compared with Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina who are the hosts of Longinus, Turkey Girl is definitely inferior.
The really special thing about the Phenex Clan is that it can make Tears of the Phoenix and the immortal body that is difficult to conquer. The former only has a healing effect, while the latter is only difficult to defeat, which does not mean how strong they are.
The evidence is that the highest status member of the current Phenex Clan family is Ultimate-Class Devil. Whether anyone has the strength of Maou-Class is still unknown. Maybe the first generation Phenex has such strength, but there are very few, or even none, of the descendants who can reach this level.
Among the Phenex Clan who appeared in the original work, the one with the highest strength is Ultimate-Class Devil. No one from this family has shown the strength of Maou-Class in the original work.
Otherwise, they would not have chosen to invest in Red Dragon Emperor, let alone Leo now.
"Get ready, we will set off later." Leo saw that everyone had calmed down their doubts, and then said, "It won't take long to teleport directly by jumping on the magic square array."
Hearing this, the girls nodded in unison, turned and left the tent to change clothes.
Underworld, Gremory collar.
Like Eligos Territory, although Gremory has a large territory and covers an area similar to Honshu, most of the land is undeveloped, resulting in many mountains, forests, and large lakes within the territory, with the edges as far as the eye can see.
The difference is that as the Gremory Territory is currently a prosperous family in the Devil world, there are not only many people living in the territory, but also many towns, cities and even castles.
Since ancient times, Gremory Clan people have ridden camels on important occasions, so the mascot of Gremory is the camel Gomomo, and Gremory Clan is also Devil is a very wealthy family in the world, because this family's characteristic is that they are good at discovering treasures, and all the members of the family are emotionally rich, so that whether Sirzechs or Rias Gremory, they all tend to love their families very much.
This is because in their eyes, family members are also treasures discovered by themselves.
Thanks to this gift, talents have appeared in the Gremory Clan generations, and each of them has very capable servants to help them manage their territory in an orderly manner.
On this day, in front of the Gremory Clan's family mansion, a magic square suddenly appeared, allowing Leo and his group to gradually appear in the red light.
"Okay, we're here."
Leo led the way out of the magic square and spoke to his family members, but received no response from them.
Because, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.
"This, this is Gremory Clan?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka pointed tremblingly at the building in front of him and spoke in disbelief.
Although the other girls did not speak, they had similar reactions.
They had no choice but to see a huge castle and an unimaginably large courtyard before their eyes.
Outside the castle, there are flowerbeds with beautiful flowers blooming everywhere. The roads are bright and wide, with rows of vegetation. There are also beautiful fountains that keep spraying water, allowing all kinds of birds to fly in the sky, just like a fairyland.
The girls were so shocked by this scene that they couldn't imagine that this was actually a family's private residence.
This level of luxury is no exaggeration to say that it is a king's palace and fortress, right?
Originally, Leo's manor was already a very exaggerated residence in their opinion. At least Yukinoshita Family, Shiina Family and even Yuki Family were not such luxurious residences. However, compared with the castle and courtyard in front of them, their manor was nothing. If placed here, it would probably only occupy a small corner.
"Are you surprised?"
Leo can understand their mood, but the fun is yet to come.
With their arrival, the door of the castle slowly opened, and a red carpet extended all the way from the castle, covering the entire ground.
Groups of maids and deacons swarmed out from the castle, lined up on both sides of Leo's group, lined up a path, played music, and bowed.
"Welcome to the Gremory Mansion."
The leader is none other than Sirzechs's "Queen"-Grayfia Lucifuge·Lucifuge.
I saw that the maid also bent down to salute everyone. Regardless of the stunned expressions of Yukino Yukinoshita and others, Gujing Wubo said nothing.
"Lord Sirzechs and Phenex Clan are already waiting for you. Please move into the castle."
Saying that, Grayfia Lucifuge stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
"Sorry for your trouble."
Leo nodded towards Grayfia Lucifuge. Seeing that the girls were still stunned, he immediately grabbed Yukino Yukinoshita and Asuna Yuuki who were closest to him and walked along the carpet.
Only then did Utaha Kasumigaoka and Mahiru Shiina react and quickly followed.
The group of five people walked through the huge city gate, walked into the interior of the castle, passed through the doors that opened one after another, followed the long luxurious corridor, and walked all the way to what looked like a hall.
In front of this place is the staircase leading to the second floor. There is a huge chandelier on the ceiling. The door of a room next to it is open. It seems to be a reception room.
Under the leadership of Grayfia Lucifuge, Leo and his party walked into the living room and saw the people chatting here.
"Are you coming?"
One of them turned around and smiled at Leo and others.
It is Sirzechs.
As for the other few people, they immediately attracted the attention of Leo and others.
