Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

"At present, we do not know whether Leon is friend or foe."

"Even if I adjust your life to be able to ignore any physical attack, you must not let your guard down."

"Of the group, only you have combat experience and can be ruthless in critical moments."

"Therefore, if an accident occurs, I hope you can strike first."

Upon hearing this, Celia's initial doubts and anxieties were quickly dispelled.

She frowned and nodded:

"I understand. I didn't expect you to be worried about this. Don't worry, I will protect them."

"However... even so, I don't want to stay in this place for long. Putting aside my status, the environment is just too gloomy."

Indeed, this is the Demon King's lair, no matter what.

It might not be a big deal for a brave warrior to stay for a day or two, but if it goes on for too long, it seems a bit unreasonable.

Therefore, the construction of the "new home" should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Thinking about this, Ronan paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

He turned and left the corridor, pondering that perhaps the construction of the house could be scheduled for tomorrow.

As long as everything goes smoothly.

……

"…What's up?"

In the study, the soft candlelight flickered as Leon was intently studying and improving the summoning array.

Seeing Ronan return, they assumed that he was slightly dissatisfied with the previous arrangements.

He put down the book in his hand, turned his head, and asked softly,

"May I ask if there is anything else you need?"

Leon felt he had arranged everything perfectly, patiently answered all questions, and made proper arrangements for food and lodging.

Even if it's a hero stronger than myself, there shouldn't be anything to criticize.

Unless… Leon’s gaze sharpened, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

He instinctively clenched his fists. Even though he knew he was no match for Ronan, he would never sit idly by if Ronan came to attack him a second time.

Seeing this, Ronan gently shook his head, his tone calm:

"There's no need to be so tense. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have waited until now."

"I've come here just to talk to you about the future."

"To be honest, I really like the continent you control."

"Separated from the human world by sea, undisturbed by anyone, and with such a vast territory..."

With that, Ronan casually found a seat and sat down.

The flickering candlelight cast a dim, yellowish glow on his face as he gazed at Leon.

"Therefore, I want to settle down on this continent, and if possible, I would also like to buy this continent through legitimate channels."

What do you think?

Land can be bought and sold. Although killing Leon would grant you territory, he is, after all, one of the Ten Great Demon Kings and has a great reputation.

Ronan did not believe that the other demon lords would ignore him once he took over the territory.

Furthermore, given his status as a Demon King, the human empire will certainly intervene.

It's like recruiting... there's no need to make yourself uncomfortable for no reason.

Letting the Demon King stand in the open and draw the fire is the most appropriate approach based on both sides' positions.

Leon was taken aback by Ronan's words, and a look of considerable confusion appeared on his face.

Buy up mainland China?

Such niche vocabulary.

Putting aside whether he, as a demon king, is willing to sell, the value inherent in this continent alone is astronomical.

Where did Ronan, a visitor from another world, get the money?

Leon was filled with doubts and was about to ask them.

Just then, he suddenly saw Ronan turn his hand over and pull out a blue gold coin.

"This is…"

Leon, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized what the blue gold coin represented.

"Star coins?"

Star coins are a higher-level currency than ordinary gold coins, with an exchange rate as high as 1 to 10,000, which is extremely rare in the world.

Even a powerful nation only possesses a few thousand Star Gold Coins in reserves, and Leon himself doesn't have any.

Unexpectedly, Ronan casually pulled out one...

Even so, it's still far from enough.

Leon took a deep breath, about to bluntly refuse.

But Ronan's actions were not over yet.

He flipped his hand again, and several more... no, dozens of star coins appeared in his hand.

Leon's gaze gradually turned to surprise, and a small, blue, glowing mountain appeared in front of Ronan.

From behind the hill, Ronan's calm voice continued:

"Strange currency. Is the world's most valuable currency actually blue?"

"I don't know how much it's worth, Leon. Just tell me, how much do you want? Don't be shy."

"Also, before the official transaction, could you accept a small test?"

"I need to see if what you said about committing all sorts of evil deeds is really true."

Despite Leon's seemingly harmless demeanor after the defeat, Ronan always remembered that appearances can be deceiving.

If Leon has deceived me, then there's no point in going through with this deal; I should just take action.

Paying money is merely a way to secure one's position, intimidate, and gain their trust.

Leon gradually came to his senses and couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He reached out and picked one up, examined it carefully, and confirmed that it was genuine.

This discovery left him completely stunned.

Leon originally planned to keep Ronan calm and investigate his background before making any further plans.

But upon hearing the next sentence, the shock in my heart was instantly replaced by doubt.

He frowned and asked:

How to test it?

Leon became the Demon King only to gain a long lifespan and find his childhood sweetheart, his sister.

Therefore, he never cared much about people or things other than his sister, and naturally he would not take the initiative to do evil.

He may have unintentionally killed some people, such as those children he summoned who died young due to the influence of magic.

On that point... he had to admit it, but as mentioned before, he was the Demon King.

From the moment he embarked on this path, he was prepared to be stained with blood.

So even if he were to die one day, he would have no regrets.

Ronan nodded, already having made his decision.

Since the magic within him did not disappear with the change of the world, he prepared to use mind control magic.

This can be considered a double test.

It can test whether Leon is honest, and also see if the magic system of the Goddess World is still effective in this world.

Elements aside, you can never have too much control.

Chapter 63, Chapter 64: Demon King Kreman

Meanwhile, on the other side, far away.

Demon King Clayman, one of the Ten Great Demon Kings, was sitting leisurely on a luxurious sofa.

He was dressed in an exquisitely tailored white tuxedo, holding a glass of bright red wine, which he swirled slightly.

Before them stood a monster with a bird's head and a human body.

He raised his eyes and said slowly:

"Kenishi, you've gotten stronger."

"I vaguely remember the last time we met, you were just an ordinary demon. I never expected you to have become a superior demon now."

Who gave you your name?

In this world, monsters generally do not have names, including demon people.

Only when the strong give them names can they gain power and achieve essential evolution.

This requires not only exceptional luck, but also extremely high talent.

After all, not all strong individuals are willing to disperse their power.

"Quack quack!"

Keenish chuckled and made a quacking sound like a duck.

He held a sharp fork, pointing it menacingly at Klayman, who was sitting on the sofa, his tone full of confidence and arrogance:

"Why should I tell you? Demon King Clayman, you who only relies on your subordinates, your good luck is about to end today!"
