Versatile Mage: Demon Mage

Chapter 524: Drinking at Night
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle……………………………!!!
There were a lot of barbecued meats skewered on the simple barbecue grill, which quickly turned golden under the roasting of the soul fire, and the rich aroma of barbecue emanated from it.

Queen Jiuyou flipped the sticks in her hand, occasionally looking at the women in front of her, her eyes flashing with deep envy.

She has been with the ancient king for countless years, but she is still his subject.

Compared to the several women in front of her who can accompany her as a partner, this is what she envies the most.

The emperor's life span is so long. The people in front of him have been frozen by some force. It must be that person's work.

Doesn't this mean that you have acknowledged their company?
Tang Yue was controlling the heat while flipping the skewers, and secretly chatting and gossiping with the other people through the mind network.

After all, apart from her, Leng Qing, Jiang Shaoxu, and Ding Yumian all possess mental magic.

"Yumian, these are ready, you can take them." Leng Qing placed a bunch of grilled skewers on a makeshift stone slab and handed them to Ding Yumian who was standing by.

"Oh~" Ding Yumian quickly finished eating a skewer of meat that he had grilled, then took the stone slab and passed it to the two people sitting over there.

As for Jiang Shaoxu and Lin Yunxi, they could only assist in the work and wait to be fed. They basically had no cooking skills.

Wang Teng and the Ancient King sat opposite each other, drinking from crystal wine bottles made of dimensional power and tasting the skewers of meat they had carefully grilled.

After three cups of wine and five skewers of meat, the old king said with approval in his eyes: "You remind me of Wei Liao in the past, with extraordinary strategy and courage."

"You captured the foreign emperor who fought with me on the battlefield before, right?"

He looked straight at the young man in front of him. When he went back and thought about it carefully, he found it hard to suspect this person.

It was not until the other party broke through the emperor in one fell swoop and was discovered by him that he asked Queen Jiuyou to investigate and only then did he deduce a conclusion.

The Hall of Heroes that suddenly appeared must have been created by this person, and its function is very similar to his Shayuan Space.

How could he not know the effect of summoning magic energy on the demons? The Holy Earth Spring was something he created.

Then, after thinking back, it was determined that the opponent had probably already figured this out on the battlefield and must have focused their attention on him.

The rumor that the deceased emperor from a foreign country had arrived now seemed like a pure conspiracy.

Then he suddenly realized that he was being used!
Today he accidentally discovered the other party's whereabouts and came over to meet him.

By the way, ask for the answer to a question in your mind.

"Yes~"

Wang Teng sighed in his heart, he deserves to pay for his misdeeds, he is worthy of being called the ancient king, these words are probably meant to call him to account.

He did not find it strange that the other party could figure out his background, after all, he was an emperor with both civil and military skills.

"how did you do it?"

The ancient king was very satisfied that the other party did not try to hide anything and was able to admit it frankly, which was worthy of the demeanor of an emperor.

Although he was used, he did not feel angry. Instead, he was very happy. It was rare to find someone who could completely deceive his cognition.

"This is my forbidden spell gift for the mind system. It has no offensive capabilities, and only has the function of sealing off thought fluctuations."

Wang Teng said frankly that this was not a secret that could not be told. It might be important to others, but it was just that to him.

This kind of ability is not something you can defend against just by knowing it, unless you have reached a very high level of cultivation and are able to ignore the ban on this ability.

The forbidden realm of thought has the ability to block single targets and large areas, and the emperor basically has no possibility of instant resistance.

"No wonder I was distracted at the time... What an amazing ability!"

When the ancient king heard this, his face was relieved. The questions in his heart finally had an answer and his eyes sparkled.

If even he was like this, then the foreign emperor must have been tricked as well. This person even had other means to make the emperor lose the ability to resist, and even transferred him quietly.

After reaching the realm of emperor, attack abilities are no longer important to him, and functional abilities are more useful.

The more the other party says this, the more it shows that this ability is quite unsolvable. The simpler and purer it is, the more difficult it is to deal with.

It can be understood as powerful as flying bricks, the truth is simple, or there is only one advantage, and that advantage is infinite magnification.

Think about what would happen if you were distracted during a fierce battle? The power of the emperor hitting an unprotected body would basically be a devastating disaster.

If the person in front of him is as he expected, he must use dimensional power as his core, and his attack power is top-notch among all imperial powers.

Not only is the attack power extremely strong, but the mobility is also so. Facing such an opponent, the consequences of being distracted during the battle will be even more serious.

Thinking of this, the ancient king picked up the wine jar and drank the wine in it in one gulp without saying anything.

Wang Teng happily picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

He understood what the other party meant, and after this drink, the past was over.

After all, we have spoken frankly and we can still drink after everything has been said and everything is in the glass.

As night falls, the sky is filled with stars, the sounds of animals and insects, and the curling of smoke from cooking create a picture of tranquility in the midst of bustle.

After the picnic, the old king left with Queen Jiuyou, leaving only Wang Teng and his group on the top of the mountain.

“It smells so good…!!”

Ding Yumian's mouth was filled with the meat skewers grilled by Tang Yue and Leng Qing. They were much more delicious than those grilled by herself.

Little Yan Ji, who had finished her work, became small again and sat on her shoulders, holding a skewer of barbecue and chewing it with her mouth full of oil.

Leng Qing was very happy to hear this comment, thinking that tonight was not embarrassing and his cooking skills were still up to par.

"Oh~ I'm so tired. I have to have a good massage to relax when I get home today."

Jiang Shaoxu complained bitterly, shaking his arms and feeling sore and weak all over.

Lin Yunxi glanced at her, smiled and said nothing. That little bit of auxiliary work was not even a warm-up.

"Okay, let's clean up and take the leftovers back for a midnight snack."

Tang Yue finished grilling the last of the meat and packed it in a bag, not intending to waste such good ingredients.

Although today's picnic was disrupted by the ancient king, it was still a good experience.

After Leng Qing saw that she had finished, he once again controlled the earth to sink the barbecue grill into the ground and cleaned off the barbecue marks on it.

Wang Teng stood aside and watched them finish cleaning up. His eyes turned to the table, where there were two crystal wine decanters and a wine bottle.

He thought about it and felt that this meeting between the two parties was quite interesting. At least his secret plot against the other party was over.

"Leave it to the right person~"

Wang Teng only picked up the wine bottle, and the two wine glasses were placed on the stone table. It would be a kind of fate for anyone who came later to encounter them.

Those two wine bottles can be considered high-end resources. After all, they are man-made products condensed from extremely high-quality dimensional power.

Who knows, one day it might be discovered and used as a resource or artifact.

After a group of people finished packing, Wang Teng casually opened the dimensional gap and led them away from the top of the mountain.
