I just covet their strength

Chapter 337 I'll make you an offer you can't refuse

"We have arrived at the Royal Court's secondary capital. Oh, isn't this Seralis? This place is quite pretty."

Outside the city in the lake where maple and mangrove forests and magnificent buildings are intertwined, Westhead saw the outline and appearance of Seralis clearly, who came down from the shuttle floating above the lake. Behind the man were Luyetan, Elena, Hecas and others. Westhead did not mobilize a large force, but only brought a dozen or so people who were related to the matter.

How did they arrive in Seralis so brazenly? This was not a problem, because the defense of the demon kingdom was indeed lax to the point of being outrageous. Except for a few rare ones, most of these shadows of the gods did not care about mortals.

As long as they avoid the core area of ​​the city in the lake and do not touch the nodes of the great ensemble, the goal of sneaking in can be accomplished no matter if there are hundreds or thousands of people. Not to mention that Westhead only brought a dozen people with him. This small airship is completely sufficient to accommodate them. With the blessing of numerous concealment runes, they can cross the demon kingdom unimpeded and arrive at the territory of the Lord of Feast in two or three days.

In front of the gate of Seralis, there was no need to hide, they could just talk to the guards guarding the city openly. Even though they were completely unfamiliar visitors, the guards still asked Westhead and others to wait for a moment while they went to report to the new owner of this place, or rather, the old owner.

"This place doesn't look like a demon country at all."

While waiting, Elena crossed her arms and looked around, saying:

"It's more like a celebration in an ordinary country with lights and decorations."

Although the land ruled and occupied by the Shadow of God will not be tainted by Chaos corruption, it is somewhat unrelated to normality, because extreme demons will project their own preferences onto the territory, and the mortals on it will also be infected by the demons and become more and more inclined to the demons' habits.

Bloodthirsty, warlike, dank, perverted, and so on. Anyway, the shadow side of God, how can he be a good person? Greed, anger, and ignorance are all here for you.

That's why Ilevitt concluded that the people of the royal court deep in the demon kingdom were filthy and were discordant remnants that needed to be purified.

Westhead chuckled and said, "Demons are different from each other. In essence, these people of the royal court are not normal either. But this effect is so insignificant compared to other demons that it cannot be considered a problem."

After all, what's wrong with enjoying pleasure? Isn't that what mortals live for?

After a while, Seralis's guards returned and respectfully welcomed Westhead and others in.

"Lady Anis has been waiting for a long time. Everyone, please come in quickly. The feast has just begun!"

As people entered the city of Seralis, this gorgeous and prosperous city in the lake showed everyone what a magnificent banquet was. On the spacious and bright avenues, long banquet tables were set out. Every street, every courtyard, and every garden was crowded with people, all singing and dancing, and drinking.

The large ensemble seems to continue here, and the songs that resound and flow are light and bright leisure songs.

Westhead walked all the way to the high courtyard in the center of Seralis, climbed thousands of seemingly endless steps, and finally arrived at the center of the banquet.

On the soft sleeper on the high platform at the end of the hall, a bright girl with long silver-purple hair was leaning lazily on the pillow with her smooth and slender legs raised. She picked up a piece of fruit with one hand and stuffed it elegantly into her cherry mouth. When she saw Westhead and others enter the hall, Anis tilted her head slightly and said:
"I didn't expect you would actually respond to my invitation."

Westhead stepped forward and said, "Since Ms. Anis has invited us, and we have responded, it would be too rude to break the appointment. Fortunately, we arrived in time. It seems that we barely made it to the banquet?"

When Anis saw Westhead's face clearly, her beautiful pink eyes lit up, and she sat up and said:

"Hmm? You are? I don't think we have ever signed a contract?"

Seeing this, Elena quickly saluted and said:
"Lord of the Greedy Feast, please allow me to introduce you. This is the monarch I am loyal to, Duke Qinghui Westhead, who is also the Knight King of Yonglan, the Southeast Guardian of the Empire, and now an ally of the Qianlu Royal Court."

"I have a name, it's Anis Qianhu, the devil's honorific name, it's best not to call it that."

Anis stood up from the soft sleeper, clasped her hands together and said with a smile: "This is the first time, don't make the same mistake again."

Even though it was a smile, it sounded chilling to the ears.

".I see."

Elena was a little confused, not understanding how she had offended the Lord of Feast. Even though they had been under contract for a long time, she was still not familiar with him.

Westhead did not find it strange, he knew the shadow of the god in front of him, he hated being called by his demon name. No, it should be said that all demons were quite annoying, but they were more averse to having their real names spoken, so they accepted being called by their demon names.

The only exception is Anis, who will openly tell everyone her real name.

"Oh, so you are a very powerful mortal. I remember that the skull demon died in your hands not long ago, right? This matter has spread all over our circle. You did a great job."

Anis put a green finger to her lips, shook her head and thought for a while, then smiled at Westhead.

Westhead shrugged and said, "A demon killer has come to your territory. Are you not worried or alert at all, Ms. Anis? I am here uninvited."

"It doesn't matter. I've long disliked that ugly and vulgar bone demon. He only knows how to flaunt the barbaric and primitive blood and violence. Even if he wants to overeat, he has no elegance in eating flesh and drinking blood. You don't think that the relationship between us is good, do you?"

Anis clapped her hands, circled around Westhead, and looked him up and down carefully, with a stronger admiration in her eyes:

"Besides, you are incredibly beautiful for a human being. If someone like you could join my banquet, it would definitely add brilliance to the feast. How could I refuse? Unless you have malicious intentions, but it seems that you don't have any hatred towards me, right?"

Westhead looked directly at the demon with silver-purple hair and said, "Why should I hate you? I don't believe in [Emperor Qianlu]."

Anis nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, but there are always people who think that I am the shadow of God, that I am filthy, and they keep slandering and defaming me. They are really ridiculous and ignorant. Fortunately, the children under my protection can abandon this boring discrimination and enjoy the one and only joy in life."

The demon girl spun around in her high boots, wrapping her wide bell sleeves around her wrists again and again, then she turned slightly to salute and blinked:

"During the long time I was still in prison, the contract between you and me benefited me a lot. In the darkness without seeing the sun, I got comfort from it, just like a traveler in the desert licking dew bit by bit. Thinking about it now, it is really a painful past." "But all that is in the past. Although I have no reason or motivation to sign a contract with you again, in return for the enjoyment of the banquets I bring to me, I sincerely hope that you can participate in all the banquets I host and share the joy with me."

As Anis finished her words, servants came over with trays and presented cups of expensive drinks and fine wine to the witches for them to choose from.

It was hard to refuse such a generous offer. After all the witches had picked up their wine glasses, Anis shook the wine glass and said:

"From the fun you brought me at the banquet, I can feel that you don't like it. This is not good. What else is worth doing in the world besides enjoying yourself? Hatred, anger, and obsession are all fleeting. Only the happiness of the moment is real."

"Come, let us celebrate our enduring friendship! Celebrate this beautiful world! Celebrate the never-ending feast!"

The silver-purple-haired girl had a fascinating smile on her pretty face, and her voice once again aroused cheers from the audience.

You seem to be a bit too broad.

The character of this Lord of Feast was completely different from what Elena and other witches had imagined. She seemed extremely familiar when they first met, and kept selling the theories she believed in.

But as students of demons, they knew that demons were essentially this kind of existence. If they didn't fully display their extreme traits, could they still be called the shadow of God?
What's more, they came to the banquet to accompany Westhead. The real master is their own monarch, so they just need to obey in other matters.

When the witches saw that Westhead didn't say anything but just smiled and drank, they also sipped the specialty of Seralis.

Seeing this, Anis smiled even sweeter and said:
"Everyone, please feel free to do as you please. Although I would like to say that you can stay as long as you want, it seems unlikely. At least while you are still in my country, I hope you can enjoy yourself as much as possible."

After saying that, the devil girl returned to the center of the banquet. She opened her arms and directed the band. No, it was not a band at all, but the large ensemble of Seraris to change the tune, and the melodious music became more passionate.

Seeing this, Luyetan couldn't help but ask:

"Speaking of which, can we eat without dreaming?"

The other party was obviously absorbing the joy from the whole city. As a demon, he feeds on the happiness of others. Most of them took the method of entering dreams to squeeze out joy.

The same was true for the enchanting half-blood girl Yuan Xigong, but when she saw Anis eating so elegantly, she couldn't help but be fascinated.

"For a demon who has reached the level of a saint, this shouldn't be a problem. Why don't you just ask him?"

Westhead smiled, and they waited until Anise opened her eyes again before walking forward.

Anis obviously heard the conversation between the two, or in other words, within her domain, there was no sound that could not be heard. The silver-purple-haired girl looked directly at Luyetan and said:
"Ah, I've noticed something since a while ago. You have the blood of the devil in your body, right?"

Luyetan nodded and was about to bow and answer, but was interrupted by Anis who suddenly came close: "Don't answer yet! Let me guess."

The demon girl came close to the former, sniffed, and said:
"Yeah. It was passed down by the Holy Spirit of Konglu. Father God really spread his bloodline everywhere. Obviously, even his own people never cared about it."

Luyetan stroked his cheek with one hand and said, "The evil bloodline planted in us because we were controlled by others has troubled our lineage for thousands of years. I wonder if Lady Anis can help me cleanse this impure bloodline."

"Do you also think that enchantment is a lowly and despicable curse?"

Anis lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this and shook her head:

"Ah, don't get me wrong. I'm not blaming or complaining, because my father thinks the same way. He hates his own race and his origins. He can't wait to get rid of the stigma and restraints on his body and become the great man who ascends to the highest heaven. No one will remember his past anymore, and no one will call him a lowly seductress anymore."

The demon girl took light steps, stretched out her arms, and showed Westhead and Luyetan the people who were immersed in the carnival, and said with a smile:
"But I am very grateful for my bloodline. If it weren't for my talent for seduction, how could I have superimposed all the joy of tens of thousands of people on myself? Humans are really interesting. I can relate to all their happiness and joy!"

Anis turned around and shook her head at Luyetan.

"Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to purify my bloodline. That is a restriction planted by my father. How can a mortal refuse a gift from the Supreme Being?"

"OK."

Westhead raised his head and said, "As long as we use the [Thousand Laws Ceremony], it can be done. Not to mention purifying the impure bloodline, even giving someone the bloodline of a demon is not a difficult task. You should understand this very well."

As soon as the voice fell, the music of the big ensemble node seemed to be out of tune. Anis widened her pink eyes and stared at Westhead in a daze. After a while, she suddenly realized and smiled, clapping her hands:
"I see, so you want to control the Thousand Laws Code, right? You are such a bold mortal, why would you do this?"

Yanis kept shaking her head and said, "Excessively strong ambitions and desires may not necessarily be responded to in the end."

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. I know all the consequences, so I came here to seek your cooperation. I will give you an offer that you cannot refuse."

Westhead said as he took a step forward and held out his hand to Anise.

"Really? Then let's talk. Is one dance enough?"

The latter understood what he meant and immediately held the man's hand. The two of them danced and circled gently in the banquet hall.

Since the target is a seductive woman, it means that she is extremely sensitive to charm. Westhead will naturally not forget to make good use of his advantages. However, for the man himself, looking into Anise's pink eyes is also an extremely stressful thing.
