Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

In the depths of the endless wasteland, in an inconspicuous bush.

An old man with gray hair in a spellcaster's robe fell to the ground covered in blood.

His face was pale, as if he would die at any moment.

His tone was like a candle in the wind, extremely weak.

"Weini, the Dungeon Clan will catch up soon..."

"The breath of the black dragon is corroding my soul, I can't last long."

"Leave here immediately while the effect of the Breath Containment Technique disappears..."

"If you don't escape, the army of the dungeon clan will search this area soon..."

The tone of each sentence becomes weaker, and the voice can't even be heard clearly in the end.

The girl who was half hugging the old man cried, her eyes were red and swollen, and she choked up.

"Grandpa, the goddess of magic will take care of us, you will be fine..."

As he spoke, he wanted to hug the frail old man, but the girl had already been severely injured, and she couldn't get up even after hugging her a few times.

Instead, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

Roar~

Just when the old man was anxiously trying to comfort the other party, a terrifying roar came from afar.

The old man's already pale face became even uglier.

"Black Dragon..."

Gritting his teeth after speaking, the magic power in his body surged wildly, and in an instant, his pale face turned red again.

It seemed to recover in an instant.

But when the girl saw the appearance of the old man, she seemed to lose her soul, and her heart ached like being cut by a knife.

"grandfather......"

The old man let out a long breath, and looked at the girl lovingly.

"Weini, I will send you out now, my mission has been completed.

Remember, I have sealed the things I got from the dungeon clan in your heart, and the seal will be unsealed automatically when you reach the extraordinary.

Be sure to keep it safe, it is the treasure that our family has been pursuing for millions of years..."

As soon as the words fell, a shocking wave of magical power suddenly appeared on the old man, and his momentum soared at this moment, as if the sea area of ​​thousands of miles was rewinding into the sky.

"Grandpa, let's go together..." Before the choked-up words of the girl with red eyes finished, the surrounding space distorted, and then she disappeared in place.

But the moment the girl disappeared, a black dragon with damaged wings appeared in this area in the distance.

Sensing the changes in the surrounding space, the black dragon suddenly fell into anger.

Opening his huge mouth, a mouthful of dragon's breath spewed out. The magic that the old man used just now was directly melted by the high temperature of the dragon's breath.

Seeing this, the old man's face changed drastically.

"Do not!!"

But it was too late for him to stop the black dragon.

The whole person is aging rapidly, and the normal state that has just been restored has disappeared in an instant.

The injury was several times more serious than before.

"Damn lowly life!! How dare you steal my treasure!!"

Dragon language resounded through the sky, full of anger and madness.

"I will burn your soul for ten thousand years!!"

The old man lying next to the bush looked at the direction the girl was leaving with reluctance, and then closed his eyes in resignation.

"Black Dragon, you have no chance..."

Before he finished speaking, he lost his breath.

The eyes of the black dragon covering the sky showed endless anger, and he turned his head suddenly to look at the area where the girl disappeared.

Realizing that the space magic had taken effect, and the old man's soul collapsed and disappeared due to forced overdraft, he suddenly fell into a rage.

"Damn bastard!!!"

The dragon's breath in the throat seemed to be erupting from magma, and the surrounding kilometers of land became scorched earth.

——

Hundreds of meters away from Huiyue City, the space next to a bush suddenly distorted,

Then a Miaoman figure appeared on the spot.

The girl had fallen into a coma at this time, and it could be seen that the two huge scars on her back were oozing blood...

On the city wall of Huiyue City, two kobold scouts patrolling the city wall shrugged their noses as if they had noticed something.

Then they looked at each other, discussed in a low voice, and then quickly left the city wall alone.

After a while, the guard officer Kur who heard the news looked at the two kobolds in front of him with a serious expression.

"You smell blood?"

"That's right, Lord Kull, although the smell of blood is very faint, any smell can't hide from the great Kobold!"

After being transferred to become a kobold patrol, the kobold's sensitivity to smell has been greatly enhanced.

In this regard, one is more confident than the other.

Kur turned his head to look at the pitch-black wilderness, and immediately frowned.

After a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head.

"It's getting dark, no matter what is outside the city wall, the city wall cannot be opened."

"Everyone pay attention to vigilance, once you find traces of the enemy, send out a signal immediately."

The two kobolds originally thought that their information would be taken seriously, but they did not expect to receive such an order.

Although he was unwilling, as a guard, Kur had the right to decide in this regard, and no matter how unwilling he was, he could only hold back.

"Yes, Master Kule..."

A small incident was just ignored.

At this moment, Sim, who was wearing a black cloak, flirtatious and flamboyant, slowly climbed up the city wall.

Seeing Sim, Kuer nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency Sim, good night."

Although Sim has no official position, his status as a blood mage is the best explanation.

The status of the master mage is extremely lofty in any force.

"Good night, Kool..."

Sim held his head up. Although he was half a head shorter than Kur, he showed a condescending expression.

How can a noble blood mage be comparable to ordinary humans?

However, he also has self-knowledge. Although Kuhl is only a silver rank, he is a guard appointed by Lauren himself. Although he looks down on him in his heart, he dare not be too presumptuous.

Its fear of Lauren has penetrated into the soul, and even a simple look at him by that boy can send tingling down his spine.

When the kobold next to him saw Sim, he was shocked and his mind came alive.

"Chief Sim, I just smelled the smell of human blood, and the distance is not too far..."

While talking, he gestured forward and quickly told all the information he got, and finally looked at Sim eagerly.

Kur frowned, but due to Sim's identity, he couldn't say anything for a while.

After hearing this, Sim looked at the kobold who seemed to be waiting for him to do justice, and grinned.

Then Papa directly gave the kobold two big mouths, and the two guys slapped them in circles.

"Idiots, you have been transferred to the security team now, and His Excellency Kuer is your immediate commander! Why did you tell me this?"

"The master has repeatedly reiterated that the army must act in accordance with military discipline and intervene in city defense. Ha ha, this is a serious crime that will be hanged. If you want to die, don't drag me!"

Only then did Kuhl feel relieved. Although this kobold who likes to hang around in a black cloak is a bit stupid, he still understands this matter quite clearly.

After Sim finished scolding the two kobolds, he seemed to have thought of something, turned his head to look at Kur, his eyes glowed.

"Your Excellency Kool, kobolds are particularly sensitive to the smell of blood, what they smell is human blood.

In the endless wasteland, humans suddenly appeared. Except for those damn adventurers, maybe some convoy was attacked.

Maybe we can help them..."

After speaking, a bit of excitement flashed across his face.

Kobolds like to help others the most, because in most cases, they can make a fortune.

Are you sure it's helping?

Thinking of the legend that kobolds especially like to rob convoys, Kur's eyelids twitched.

"Your Excellency Sim, after dark, the dangers on the endless wasteland are endless, I hope you can understand."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the pitch-black wasteland, hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth.

"But since we already smell blood, it won't take much effort for us to send people out to investigate."

"But we don't have too many people, I hope you can lead the team, Lord Sim..."

Sim's face froze, seeing Kuer's serious expression, he felt a little guilty.

Although kobolds have dark vision, they are not afraid of the dark.

But it's not a matter of whether it's dark or not. Some powerful hunters like to go out at night, and no one knows what's outside.

Timid and arrogant, the Kobold's character has always been so distinct.

"Master Sim, the smell of blood is not far away..."

The kobold next to him saw Sim's heartbeat, and immediately added a sentence.

"And it seems that the other party is a human female."

Sim immediately became interested.

According to his experience, women generally like to carry all kinds of precious gold and gems on their bodies.

Although he didn't know the use of the heavy gold hanging on his head, it didn't hinder his interest in human women.

"Your Excellency Kuer, please lend me a small team of kobold scouts. I want to come forward in person to eliminate danger for my master!"

Kuer looked at the righteous Sim, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to rob, just rob, what you say is so bright...do you want to show some face?

A few minutes later, a small group of kobolds led by Sim opened the city gate and headed out of the city.

And Lauren also got the news reported by Kool at the first time.

He didn't care much about it. Sim's loyalty had risen to 85 in the past few days, so he didn't need to worry about running away halfway.

But then, the news that Kuhl sent someone to report again aroused his interest.

When Sim went out to explore, he found a woman unconscious.

Moreover, this woman was wearing a spellcaster's robe, and she carried a stack of parchment with her, which seemed to be the construction blueprint of some kind of magical building...
