The knight in the abyss

Chapter 17 Demon Advancement

When Lancelot's hand was just put on Dingke's head, it was nothing, but when he began to mobilize the infuriating energy in his body, a list appeared in front of him, listing the energy required by various demon forms.

This feeling is very vague, and it may be related to his low realm.He cautiously injected about one-tenth of his infuriating energy.This amount isn't enough to transform Dink into a more advanced demon, but it should give it a full boost in its current form.

As the true qi in the dantian poured out, the short demon let out a muffled groan, as if being hit on the head with a stick.

Its body began to change drastically.The muscles swelled violently, and the skin was torn into pieces; the skeleton instantly enlarged in a circle, directly piercing the surface of the body, but it was quickly covered by new flesh and blood; the devil's horns on the top of the head became bigger and thicker, supporting the skull. It cracked open to reveal the boiling brain inside.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

When the transformation of the body was almost complete, Dink let out a scream, and the whole process took less than a minute.

It lay on the ground, gasping for breath, then stood up slowly, looking up and down its new body inconceivably, a kind of ecstasy filled its heart, and the color of the entire skin quickly changed from the new pink. Emerald green.

With the completion of the promotion, through the mysterious bond with Dingke, Lancelot felt that he had also been strengthened in some way, and his resistance to magic seemed to increase.

"Thank you, Dingke's great master! Dingke will always serve the master forever!"

Lancelot took a slight step back, feeling that his boots were about to be corroded by Dink's kiss.

It appears that his conjecture was correct.The true qi formed by cultivation comes directly from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the abyss plane. Since high-level demons can consume magic power to promote low-level demons, his true qi should also be able to, and the effect will only be better.

"Go, and you will hear my call when you are needed."

"Yes, my master!"

The figure of the newborn demon gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared from the air, and the sound of hooves gradually disappeared.

Lancelot sensed it a little and found that Dingke's little brain was running fast, thinking about how to take revenge on a few Quasai demons who had bullied him.

It seems that its intelligence has also been improved a little, at least it is not delusional to seek revenge on a big toad.

As Dingke went away, the mysterious strengthening effect disappeared. It seems that both parties must be within a certain distance to take effect.He returned to the small square with the Tijana statue, where he had made an appointment with Pluto.

Lancelot found an unoccupied corner, waited quietly, and observed passers-by by the way.

The most numerous are human adventurers dressed like him.After the initial surprise, Lancelot's exchange with them was not pleasant.These people are either demon worshipers or arrogant and arrogant adventurers, and they are not the same people at all, so it is difficult to talk to each other.

Next are the wizards who hide their faces in their hoods.Most of them were surrounded by several large and small packs of demon servants, hurried across the street and disappeared into a dark corner of the market area.It is not difficult for them to travel through planes. It is easy to throw a few people down, but it is different to bring people back to the upper planes. Ordinary wizards can't do it at all.

There are also quite a few demons who have visited this city. Their forms are eye-opening to Lancelot, and most of them are not in the record left by the elves.They may be subordinates sent by a demon lord, or they may be independent mercenaries, pursuing the opportunity to be promoted to high-level demons.

One of the demons with the head of a sheep impressed him the most, because it also held a great sword that did not match its size, and quickly detected Lancelot's gaze.It nodded to Lancelot with a politeness that was alien to demons, and walked away.

"Interesting guy." Pluto's voice came from behind.

Lancelot turned around and found his dwarf companion.

"How's it going? Did you enjoy chatting with your former colleagues?"

"Not very good. In fact, it's terrible," said Pluto scowling. "You really should hear what they say about Tijana, it'll help your vocabulary."

"They were enslaved by succubus?"

"No, but not much better. They do have freedom as Tijana says, but that's pretty much the only thing they have. Tijana's conditions are simple, the artisans fulfill her specified number of orders each week. , she makes sure the artisans don't become some devil's dessert. Get out of the city if you can't finish it, and leave the rest alone."

"Let me guess, she's asking for so many that the craftsmen can only sleep at most four hours a day?"

"For demons who don't need rest, the act of sleeping is hard to understand."

"It does sound very cruel." Lancelot sighed. "But I guess your dad is still going to stay."

"Uh, how did you know that?"

"Because there are no better options."

"Yeah, there is no better choice." Pluto found a stone and made it. "I told my dad."

"What did you say? What are you planning to change?"

"Well. He always wanted me to inherit his skills and prestige, so he was always very strict with me. I had prepared a lot of words, but he just kept silent for a long time, and then he agreed." Pluto whispered He shook his head, looking rather frustrated. "Staying here can only barely survive, but there is no hope. Being an adventurer is full of danger, and being an adventurer in this world is even worse, but at least there is hope of leaving."

"Okay, okay, isn't there me, we can definitely go back to where we came from." Lancelot tried to liven up the heavy atmosphere, "I'm a good buddy with the emperor over there, I will seal you when the time comes. The royal blacksmith, Dangdang, will definitely honor your ancestors, and you will be satisfied with your father."

"Che, who cares." Pluto also laughed. "What about the little guy named Dink?"

"I let it go. But I can summon it at any time if needed." Lancelot decided not to reveal his peculiarities for the time being. "What about the things I asked you to help with?"

"It's already processed." Pluto took out a small box and handed it to Lancelot. "The time is limited, and it can't be too complicated, but it's also a very classic style. Are you sure this thing will work on demons too?"

"Not sure, but it's better than nothing." Lancelot opened the small box and glanced. "Although I don't understand this very well, I can see that the craftsmanship is really exquisite, thank you."

"The main thing is that the things that came out of the sandworm's stomach are really superb. You should really see the reaction of those guys. They can't wait to go back and dig out every sandworm in the Broken Mountains now."

Pluto gave a smirk that made one suspect that he was slightly exaggerating his role in describing the battle with the sandworm.

"Are you sure you're going to give it away as a gift? In our world, it's enough for a castle."

"There are a lot of good things in the abyss. When we find a way to go back, you will definitely struggle about which treasure to throw away." Lancelot looked disdainful. "No matter how precious it is, it's useless to us now, not to mention that people don't necessarily like it."
