I really only stop

He can't even write a small gift card, this guy really has a problem with his head.

Seeing the small card hanging on the gift box, and seeing the familiar smile on Zorika's face, Lu Xi felt a little hot for no reason.After fanning his face, he hurriedly walked away far away pretending not to care.

——Hmmm, I just thought about it again. It's already dark now, so it's inconvenient to travel at night.

So, let's go tomorrow.

PS: Do you like authors who find excuses to add updates like this?

Chapter 95 The Undercover Girl and the Flower

"According to what I said before, Claire's home is here..."

Although he decided to leave the imperial capital tomorrow, Lu Xi didn't have the guts to stop untiing it on the street. After thinking about it, he decided to use this night to ask Claire clearly about the [Magic Mark].

After coming to the address given by Claire, Lu Xi was a little surprised by the building in front of him.

I heard Claire introduce herself as the prime minister's daughter before, but the house she lives in is not as spacious as imagined, it is only about half the size of Lu Xi's manor.But when it comes to the unique shape, Lu Xi's "classic" and "comfortable" manor is far inferior.

This seems to be a strange building made of building blocks.

Tea room, living room, study room... Each room with different functions is a piece of building blocks of different colors. They seem to be assembled randomly by a young child. The order of arrangement can be called crooked. on the roof.But from a distance, this building gives people a surprising beauty.

what to do?Do you have to climb to the roof first if you want to go in...

Looking worriedly at the building block house that looked perfectly fit, Lu Xi turned his head, but found Claire in the small garden.

The undercover girl, who took off her well-tailored court lady's uniform and put on a loose black dress, was squatting seriously in front of a flower with a strange shape, sneakingly, not knowing what she was doing.

It would be interesting to scare her suddenly at this time.

Lu Xi rolled his eyes, deliberately stood behind the undercover girl, and unlocked the time stop.

"——So, the newly discovered cadres seem to be unable to control their abilities well. If the time is right, I will take them to the Demon Realm to get to know other colleagues. In addition, it is said that the trap room you designed was used by someone An adventurer bought it, and the person who can afford such an expensive house must be a very powerful adventurer. This way, one party that threatens us can be eliminated early—eh? It’s okay, it’s okay! With your hiding level, That idiot adventurer couldn't possibly know that there is actually a dangerous maze entrance hidden in the house~ Hmm, yes, I know, don't act rashly, just wait for him to kill himself."

...What to do, I can't find the time to interject.

One meter away from the girl, Lu Xi, who was about to yell to scare her, stood there in embarrassment, listening to Claire report the situation to the flower—most likely some kind of secret communication facility. .

"It's been about 150 years since the last war between humans and demons. As you said, the holders of the magic mark have gradually appeared. My task here is to collect information on the royal family, right? I understand."

"By the way, the crown of the Lord Demon King seems to be showing signs of being active recently..."

It seemed that she was quite confident in her own security system, and Claire spit out all the big secrets about the demons without any restraint, which made Lu Xi break out in a cold sweat at night.

Besides, no matter what, I became the holder of the [Magic Mark], a quasi-cadre of the Demon King Army, and a standard self.It won't be because of the reason of 'you know too much' that a powerful demon will come out to 404 me, right?

In short, it is better to give up the idea of ​​scaring her here and remind her a little bit.

Lu Xi raised his hand and coughed softly:

"Cough um."

"—Wow! Who is it?!"

Unexpectedly, the undercover girl would have such a big reaction to this light cough.She tore off her glasses, and the concept of [intellect] popped up again in her pupils. An ice pick was instantly activated in her right hand, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Xi's face clearly.

"What, don't scare me."

After waving the ice cones away, Claire naturally picked up the flowers around her and said something inside:

"It's okay, it's the new cadre mentioned earlier, I was probably joking just now."

... No, I just coughed lightly just now.Fortunately, I didn't scare you according to the original plan, otherwise, judging from this posture, one of us will die today.

Due to a prank among the cadres, there was internal fighting and downsizing. It has to be said that it is very much like the devil's army in the fantasy story.

Thinking about this, Claire over there seems to have finished the 'phone call' too, and after ending with [Dedicated loyalty to Lord Demon King], she smiled at Lu Xi:

"I was really rude just now. You are a big celebrity in the imperial capital now. If the Lucy support group sees that I have a tendency to attack you, even if you don't even need a hero to take action, I will definitely be beaten miserably."

"Don't make fun of me about this, because of this, I have to evacuate the imperial capital as soon as possible..."

Lu Xi shook his head helplessly: "Thank you for your help at noon, you said you have something to discuss with me at night, I don't know what it is?"

"Stupid, there is no one who discusses things in the garden."

Putting on her glasses again, Claire coquettishly rolled her eyes at Lu Xi. Under the moonlight, the girl seemed to have a little dreamlike beauty:

"Anyway, let's go ahead."

As if it had built-in voice recognition, under Lu Xi's shocked gaze, as soon as the girl finished speaking, every part of the building block house started to rotate, and in an instant, the messy building blocks formed a normal villa. The porch on the roof is also just at the end of the garden path.

Not surprised by Lu Xi's stunned expression, Claire gently pushed him:

"What are you still doing, let's go~"

----------

The inside of a block house is not as strange as it looks.Sitting on the dark green sofa, Lu Xi honestly watched the undercover girl busy preparing a cup of milk tea for him.

Apparently noticing Lu Xi's unnaturalness, Claire brought the cup over and tilted her head puzzledly: "Why are you so nervous?"

"No, not nervous."

I just heard a lot of demon secrets, and I'm afraid of being silenced - if you say that directly, there is absolutely no good juice for us.

At this time, it is necessary to use some topics that everyone can talk about to enliven the atmosphere.

Lu Xi took the milk tea, and the fragrant and sweet steam made him feel more relaxed.He tentatively asked:

"When I first met Claire, I thought you were a very serious lady lady. Now, it seems that you are much more lively than my impression?"

"Of course! In such a dangerous place in the imperial capital, how can I be so relaxed as a lone cadre?"

Claire jumped onto an indoor rocking chair, holding a cup of hot milk tea, swinging her legs leisurely:

"It's different now. Although the control of magic power is not up to standard, I have at least met other mark holders—how should I describe it? It probably feels like a [companion]."

Thinking about it in another way, the situation Claire is facing is quite difficult.

For example, like a spy who enters the enemy camp alone to investigate intelligence, there are enemies everywhere around him, and he must live carefully at all times.If you accidentally choose a female ninja as your career, the end will be even more tragic.

Under such circumstances, she can still live peacefully and is still alive and kicking... The undercover girl is quite powerful!

"A-actually, it's not as difficult as you imagined! After all, Yuxia and I grew up as playmates, and my father is the prime minister. No one will doubt me!"

Probably a little embarrassed by Lu Xi's admiring gaze, Claire coughed lightly, and extended her hand generously to Lu Xi:

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Claire, the holder of [Magical Intellectuality]. Nice to meet you."

...Does it mean that the previous time is not counted, and I will introduce myself again as a demon?

Lu Xi paused, but still chose to hold the girl's little hand, and smiled imitatively:

"Lu Xi, the holder of [Magic Joy], I am also very happy to meet you."

At the moment when the hands were stacked, two waves of fluctuations gushed out from Lu Xi and Claire without anyone noticing, and intertwined together in the air.It's not as obvious as in the arena, but it does exist.

Speaking of which, what is the name of the compound demonic nature of the two of them——

Chapter 96

"Well, let's get down to business, I invite you here today because I actually have something I want to ask."

Claire took a sip of milk tea, and pushed the candy on the table towards Lu Xi:

"It's okay, it's just a personal question, Lu Xi just treat this as a chat~"

Drinking milk tea and eating sugar at night, are all beautiful girls who won't gain weight so unscrupulous?

"...Thank you."

Lu Xi reached out and took a candy: "Although there are various things I want to ask here, but ladies first, you go first."

"Then I won't go around in circles."

Claire pushed up her glasses: "I won't ask you how you got the magic mark. According to the records in the history books of the Demon Race, the mark will fall into the hands of its destined person due to various coincidences, and No matter what the opponent's previous experience is, as long as he can use the real skills of the mark—that is, the [pure magic nature] it possesses, he will be automatically recognized as a member of the Demon King's Army."

"...This is a bit of a strong buy and sell."

After thinking about it, Lu Xi found that there seemed to be a hidden loophole in the girl's words: "What if His Majesty the Emperor picked up a mark? Could it be that he can still be recognized as a cadre of the Demon King's Army?"

"Oh, that's why I said it's 【Destined】!"

Claire waved her hand indiscriminately: "According to the theory of causality, there is the effect of [this person will become a cadre of the Demon King's Army] first, and then there will be the cause of [the imprint falling into his hands]. If he is a member of the clan, it is indeed possible for him to be recognized by marks such as arrogance and power, but this is definitely impossible."

"From this point of view, the composition of the Demon King's Army cadres should be quite complicated? After all, you and I are both human beings, right?"

Lu Xi pointed at herself, and then looked at Claire suspiciously: "...Is that right?"

"Of course I'm human!"

Claire puffed out her chest as if to prove herself: "Is there anything more demon-like than [pure demon nature]? Anyone can become a demon as long as they are approved by the mark of demon nature. I heard that there was a slime selected by the mark in the last battle between humans and demons, and then became a member of the cadre!"

These words sound familiar, and the system seems to have said the same thing.

"I see."

After hearing that he didn't pick up the magic imprint by luck, Lu Xi finally let go of his hunger:

"To tell you the truth, the process of me getting the Mark of Joy was too coincidental. I was worried that you would ask this before—did Claire's Mark come across by coincidence?"

Before, I mistakenly thought that the Claire family was a demon clan who planned to undercover the imperial capital, and I thought I had encountered some main event.If it's a random mark like us, you can rest easy——

"——No, my imprint is passed down from my grandfather, right?"

"Puff cough! Passed down?!"

"Hmm. Unlike other magic properties, [intellect] is the only imprint that can designate an heir—after all, knowledge itself is also transmissible."

Claire counted with her fingers: "Grandpa to grandpa, skip father, go directly to me."

"Skip over the prime minister?"

Lu Xi was already getting confused now: "Isn't the prime minister a demon?"

"Grandpa said, father doesn't have that fate."

Claire sighed softly: "According to grandpa, he almost hung the mark on his father's neck, to the extent that he almost swallowed it. But my father just didn't understand, and after he practiced magic, he and Tesla Uncle ran off to become an adventurer, and at that time grandpa thought that he was going to hand over the magic and intelligence to people outside the family, so he sighed for a long time because of this, and he didn't feel relieved until I was born."

"Wait, wait, this relationship is a bit messy."

Lu Xi covered his head: "Does the prime minister know about his family's demon background?"

"do not know."

Claire shook her head: "This is a secret between my grandfather and me, which belongs exclusively to the cadres of the Demon King's Army. Of course, it is impossible for my father to know-and thanks to this, if my father really becomes the successor of the devil, according to his With an unreliable personality, he might fall into the trap of Uncle Tesla at any time."

The son of the former cadre of the Demon King's Army slipped out of the house to become an adventurer, and happened to join the team of Tesla, who was still the prince at the time, and became the prime minister after he succeeded the emperor.And the prime minister himself was completely unaware of the complicated situation at home.

I feel that the story of the middle-aged group is also very interesting, and I can talk to Uncle Faron about drinking later.

"Leave those things aside for now."

Having said that, the undercover girl put down the cup in her hand, and the expression on her face became completely serious.

"[Pleasure Mark Holder Lu Xi], I want to ask you."

In the girl's eyes covered by glasses, a deep light flashed:

"Why does the magic you use at noon have such power?"

----------

"Huh? Power?"

To the girl's question, Lu Xi was puzzled: "Isn't making the surrounding targets active is the effect of the magic mark itself?"

"Having said that, don't you think it's too powerful? I'll do the math for you."

The undercover girl snapped her fingers one by one: "Uncle Tesla, the Emperor of the Empire, Uncle Storm, the General of the Legion, my father who hangs up and fishes, and Yushiya, the youngest sage in the world—how can these powerful people who are unique in a thousand have nothing to do with each other?" Could it be affected by the power of a demon mark? If just a mark of joy is so powerful, there is no need to fight the battle between humans and demons!"

Thinking about it this way, it really is.

Recalling the frightening scene when [Magic·Joy] was activated, the audience was almost insane, Lu Xi couldn't help shivering.

According to Claire, the imprint itself is not a problem.Well, the only thing that could possibly cause this is...

'Hey, system, come out for me you bastard! '
