Chapter 1013 Heading to the Demon Realm

Since Naruse Mio has decided to go to the Demon Realm, she naturally has to start preparations - after all, going to the Demon Realm is not like traveling. After all, even if it is a tour, doesn't it have to be booked in advance, including flights and hotels? Otherwise, if there is no room in the place where we go, then we are not allowed to sleep on the street?

 So... Duanmuhuai found Wanlia.

“We are going to Wilbert’s house, please let us know.”

 “Hey? Do you really want to go?”

 Although Wan Liya was mentally prepared, she had to say that she was still surprised when she heard Duanmu Huai's order.

"I can explain this to my sister, but she may not agree..."

However, before Wan Liya finished speaking, Duanmu Huai's hand was pressed on Wan Liya's head.

 “Wanlia, let me ask you.”

"yes?!"

 Feeling that her little head was in Duanmuhuai's iron palm, Wan Liya's hair suddenly stood up.

Going to the Demon Realm is not that complicated. Wanlia just opened a space channel, and then everyone walked into it - the next moment they appeared in a forest.

 He shook his head desperately.

 “This is the devil’s world……”

As he spoke, Naruse Mio stretched, and his originally tense nerves seemed to relax a lot. Duanmu Huai understands her thoughts. After all, when most people think of the Demon World, they either refer to "The Divine Comedy" or the game. Anyway, in most people's imagination, the Demon Realm inside is basically a harsh environment, as desolate and evil as Bato Hell. Every trace of air smells of decay and depravity.

Duanmuhuai and Mary have long been accustomed to traveling to various worlds, so they are very calm. On the contrary, Naruse Mio looks at the flowers and trees around with interest, with a curious look on her face.

Hearing this, Wan Liya also broke into a cold sweat.

 “Okay, let’s go.”

"Any question?"

 “This, this...”

 “Yes, I’ll go now...!”

“So I said, let me know, do you understand?”

　　　…………”

"She is... the daughter of Patriarch Wilbert and the successor of the Wilbert family."

At this moment, Wan Liya nodded desperately. She finally understood what Duanmu Huai meant. Naruse Mio didn't need anyone's permission at all if she wanted to return to her home. So Duanmu Huai said "notification" rather than "application". After all, who would apply when they go back to their own home? In other words...whether you agree with it or not, I will come.

 Do I need your permission to go back to my home? Who are you?

 “What is Naruse Mio’s identity?”

Rias did not intend to get involved because it was an internal matter within Wilbert's family, and as a member of the Gremory family, she was not suitable to appear.

“Yes, she wants to go back to her home. Whose permission does she need? Huh?”

There are four people going to the Demon Realm this time. Apart from Naruse Mio, they are Wan Liya, Duan Muhuai and Mary.

“To be honest, at first I thought the Demon World would be some kind of scary place, but now it seems to be no different from our world, and the air is also very fresh...”

Duanmu Huai let go of his hand, and Wan Liya quickly turned around and ran away as if she had received an amnesty - she knew Duanmu Huai's temper very well after having been together for so long, and she seemed to be very kind on weekdays. But once he decides to do something, it's not your turn to object.

But this demon world doesn’t have that flavor.

 “Everyone, please go this way.”

At this moment, Wan Liya seemed to be less lively than usual, so she spoke in a serious tone.

"We have to go to Wilda City first. My sister has prepared the carriage..."

According to Wanria, Velda City is the territory of the Wilbert family, and the nobles in the demon world basically have their own exclusive territories. To put it bluntly, these superior demon nobles are more like medieval lords, while the demon king is like a king. The only thing that is stronger than the human king is that in the demon world, only the strongest person can be the demon king, so there will not be a situation where the king cannot summon the lord.

 After all, if you disobey, don't blame me for pushing you to the ground and rubbing you.

Soon, a group of people got on the carriage. Perhaps because the demon clan's carriage was relatively large, Duanmuhuai could easily sit in it.

After leaving the forest, they soon saw a city with a very medieval style. The tall city walls, various buildings, and the fortress in the distance all surprised Naruse Mio. After all, she had never even traveled abroad before. For Naruse Mio, this was no different from seeing the customs and customs of a foreign country.

 “What a big city.”

"How is it? This is the city of Wilda, and it is also the territory ruled by the Wilberta family."

 “Huh? Are all of these?”

 Hearing Maria's introduction, Naruse Mio was surprised, while Maria nodded quite proudly.

"Yes, when Lord Wilbert was still building it, it was as prosperous as the Royal City. At that time, it was also called the Pearl of the Demon World. Everyone thought that Lord Wilbert was a very outstanding person. ruler."

 “That’s it…”

Hearing Maria's answer, Naruse Mio felt a little complicated. She stared blankly at the city outside without saying a word.

“Okay, we’re not here for tourism.”

Duanmu Huai just glanced at the scenery outside and then looked back. He had seen similar scenes many times, and he didn't care much about this little thing.

“Tell me about the current political situation here, but don’t tell me you don’t know anything.”

As an outsider, Rias might not be able to comment on the internal situation of the Wilbert family, but as an insider, Duanmuhuai would definitely not believe Wanria if she said she knew nothing.

 “Well…actually I didn’t want to talk about this on the road.”

Hearing that Duanmu Huai would not be fooled by him, Wan Liya also stuck out his tongue.

"Actually, since the three-party truce, the demon world has been divided into moderate and radical factions. The moderate faction is very simple. They believe that the previous three-party war consumed too much, so stopping the unnecessary war and recuperating is the best choice. But the radical faction On the contrary, they believe that the armistice is an act of cowardly evasion and betrayal... Of course, for the three parties, the armistice is the mainstream, but it does not mean that the radicals have disappeared."

“Then what?” “When Lord Wilbert was still alive, the Wilbert family was also a member of the Moderate Faction, and it was the mainstream faction. Gremory was also a member of the Moderate Faction.”

This is not surprising, after all, Rias's brother has become a demon king.

 “And what about Ramsus who is now in charge of ruling the Wilbert family?”

 “Lord Ramsas is also a moderate.”

"Oh I see."

 Duanmu Huai nodded silently. He had also heard Rias say something similar about this. In fact, it was normal. After all, there was no winner in the three-party war. Everyone was exhausted and had to choose to shake hands and make peace.

But conversely, in the eyes of the radicals, I am exhausted and the other party is exhausted, so if I grit my teeth and work hard, can I kill the other party?

It is conceivable that if this is the thinking, then the peace agreement of the moderates will be a stab in the back to the radicals...

Of course, Duanmu Huai doesn't care about these trivial matters. From the standpoint of the Tribunal, he even supports the radicals. After all, if all three parties are dead, then mankind will only be more peaceful, right?

 What a pity, these three parties are not stupid.

The reason why Duanmuhuai asked these questions is very simple. After all, all political disputes are disputes of interests. If someone wants to push Naruse Mio to inherit the position of clan leader, it is most likely because of dissatisfaction with the current ruler's policies. After all, the so-called improper position is just an excuse. In the final analysis, it is still a conflict of political interests.

What about Ramsus himself?

Duanmuhuai has no opinion on this.

 At the same time, the castle was already in sight.

 For Naruse Mio, this is considered "going home", but she doesn't feel like going home at all. Not only did he sneak along the whole way, but he was sent into the castle through the back door without even entering the city. According to Maria's sister, Naruse Mio's red hair is too distinctive and may cause unnecessary commotion if seen by her subjects.

Not only that……

 “It seems that we are really not welcome.”

Looking at the room in front of her, Mary shook her head helplessly.

 That's right, the guest room prepared for a few people is not even an ordinary guest room, but looks like a warehouse where old furniture is placed. There are even some mildew spots on the walls, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know it would be like this..."

At this moment, Wan Liya also looked ugly and kept apologizing to everyone. After all, it was Wan Liya’s sister who arranged the room. As a younger sister, she was unlucky...

 “A stupid idiot, it seems that Ramsus is nothing more than that.”

Duanmuhuai had a look of contempt on his face. Although he knew that he and others would definitely not be welcome when they came here, as the master, you have to do something to save your face.

As a result, you are not even willing to do anything to save your face, so you are not afraid that we will really stand opposite you if you are unhappy?

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai looked at Naruse Mio.

“I heard that your father appointed him as the clan leader before he died. I thought he would be someone like that, but it turned out that he was just like a little brat wandering the streets.”

　　　…………”

Facing Duanmuhuai’s ridicule, Naruse Mio just looked gloomy and said nothing. She came here without any expectations, but Naruse Mio still had some thoughts deep in her heart. After all, this is a relative who is connected to him by blood - but now it seems that there is no hope of any drama of blood recognition.

 “That’s it.”

However, just as Duanmuhuai finished speaking, a cold voice was heard from the door. Everyone turned around and saw a silver-haired woman in a maid uniform standing there, staring coldly at Duanmuhuai.

"elder sister!?"

Wan Liya screamed in surprise when he saw the silver-haired woman. The silver-haired woman glanced at everyone, and then stared at Duanmu Huai coldly.

"I will never allow an outsider like you to insult Lord Ramsas. If you continue to be disrespectful, even if you are Lord Mio's benefactor, I will never forgive you."

“No forgiveness? Just you?”

However, Duanmu Huai stared coldly at the silver-haired maid in front of him.

“Why, Ramsus doesn’t know how to behave, and even his maids don’t know etiquette? Is this how he should talk to his guests? It seems that the upper beam is really crooked, and the lower beam is crooked, and they are all the same..."

"Shut up!"

The silver-haired maid shouted angrily, and the next moment, several maids suddenly appeared out of thin air, holding sharp knives and surrounding Duanmu Huai. Their expressions were cold, they were staring at Duanmuhuai seriously, and the sharp blades in their hands were pointed straight at Duanmuhuai's neck. Seeing this scene, Naruse Mio and Maria were both shocked and speechless, while Mary skillfully reached out her hand to hold her forehead, sighed silently, and shook her head.

 After all, she has been with Duanmu Huai for so long, so she naturally knows what the scene in front of her means to Duanmu Huai.

 “You are not allowed to be disrespectful to Lord Ramsus, otherwise...”

 “Very good, that’s how it should be!”

However, before the silver-haired maid could finish her words, Duanmu Huai laughed and interrupted her. The next moment, power armor appeared on Duan Muhuai's body, and then a storm mixed with fear aura erupted instantly, directly Blow all the maids surrounding Duanmu Huai away!

“That’s how it should be! That’s how it should be from the beginning! Since you want to welcome us in this way, let us reciprocate your warm welcome..."

Handling Thor's hammer tightly, Duanmu Huai looked ferocious and revealed a ferocious smile, staring at the woman in front of him like a wild beast.

“It will be interesting if this beautiful castle is smashed to pieces. I want to see if you can still scream when I press Ramsus to the ground and hammer him into a pulp!!”

 “Boom————!!”

Following Duanmu Huai's roar, a bright red magic beam instantly burst out from his body, directly breaking through the entire castle, completely tearing everything around him apart!

 “Ah...here it comes again.”

At this moment, Mary had already pulled Naruse Mio and Maria to the side. Seeing this scene, she helplessly stretched out her hand to hold her forehead.

“Miss Mary, what’s going on? Uncle, what’s going on?”

　　On the contrary, when Naruse Mio and Wan Liya saw this scene, their whole bodies froze, completely speechless. Looking at Duanmu Huai, who was as violent as a demon, their minds went completely blank.

"Well... Mr. Duanmu has been like this since he got up... just get used to it."

"Now what?"

Wan Liya was also confused at this moment. Is there really going to be a fight?

“…With Mr. Duanmu’s temper, it will probably be fine once he destroys this castle…”

"…………Why!?"
