Pirate: My partner is too crooked

After the demon king's crisis subsided, the demons who were ready to move began to get on the right track and return to their posts...

Fishing.

Although he is a villain, most of the demons in this world, especially the cadres of the Demon King's Army, are quite Buddhist and have absolutely no consciousness of killing all humans and destroying the world.

On the contrary, some of them go to human towns to open shops and try to lose money, and some of them don't care about worldly affairs and only focus on their own magic research;

Some of the synthetic orcs are thinking about merging with the new Demon King all day long (literally), and some are responsible for stealing the Demon King's city granary, and incidentally (passively) contaminating the food with the slime poison...

All in all, they are a group of weird demons who don't do anything serious, can fool around, and occasionally stab the demon king in the back a little!

Fortunately, Lin Zhi was too immersed in the world of illicit partners to give up on life on the spot.

After all, this is an opportunity to summon powerful partners. How could it be possible to raise a white flag and surrender before it even begins?

Wait, summon a partner?

Lin Zhi, who was sitting on the throne, felt his heart skip a beat and had an inexplicable feeling of something bad.

The initial version produced something like Aqua, so wouldn’t it be a cheat to upgrade two versions in a row...

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it.

If he continues to think about it, he really wants to run away with the bucket!

Boom boom.

Just at this time, there was a soft knock on the door outside.

"Um, excuse me, Lord Demon King, are you here?"

It was Wiz's voice.

"Please come in."

Lin Zhi straightened his sitting posture slightly, and Ge You was no longer lying on the throne.

After receiving the Demon King's signal, Wiz increased the strength in his hands and slowly pushed the heavy door open.

The bright moonlight spread into the room along the gaps, dispelling the somewhat dark atmosphere.

Wiz walked carefully under the moonlight, walked into the room with the ball, came to Lin Zhi and bowed briefly.

"Is something wrong, Wiz?" Lin Zhi asked.

"Master Demon King, regarding the tips for running a shop that you mentioned before..."

Wiz gets right to the point.

As a proprietress of magic props who loses money the harder she works, she really wants to figure out the problem and realize her great dream of making a lot of money.

"So that's what happened."

Lin Zhiran said, "Actually, there are no special skills. If you want to open a business, first of all, you have to know what the customers need."

Hearing this, Wiz tilted his head.

After some serious thinking, he asked tentatively: "Cheap and practical props? Warm and thoughtful service?"

"No, these are just incidental."

"ah?"

"You need to take a longer view. In the human world, in addition to ordinary residents and adventurers, there is also the profession of thieves."

"Lord Demon King, I don't particularly understand what you mean." Wiz was confused.

"For example, I used to be in the maritime restaurant business, and pirates would often come to my door to have a meal, and some of them were vicious criminals with high bounties on their heads."

This encounter made Wiz frown tightly.

If your shop is harassed by unscrupulous thieves every now and then, buying things without paying...

Just thinking about that scene gave her a huge headache.

"In this case, shouldn't you be in trouble? How can you still make money?"

Looking at such a simple cadre of the Demon King's Army, Lin Zhi sighed helplessly:

“That’s why you can make a lot of money!”

"Think about it, the wealth owned by thieves must be higher than that of ordinary people, right? Let them suffer a little, and pay for hundreds of thousands of cups of pure water!"

"If you're lucky, you can catch the guy with a bounty on his head and exchange it for a large bonus. This business will definitely make a profit!"

It turns out that your so-called profit was obtained through this despicable, uh, clever method!

No wonder you can become the Demon King of Demon King City! !

After understanding the reason, Wiz's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but mourn for three seconds of silence for the pirates who had been tricked.

However, since they are all bad people anyway, it doesn’t seem to require much psychological burden to do this?

Um! Let’s practice it when we return to Axel City!

She silently memorized this special way to make a fortune.

"Thank you very much for your guidance, I feel very inspired!"

Wiz, whose face was full of gratitude, bowed deeply again.

The bosom that swayed along with it was really a bit astonishing.

"Ahem."

Lin Zhi looked away, coughed twice and said, "For such a confidential business opportunity, only a verbal thank you is not enough, isn't it?"

Wiz thought for a while and felt that this was indeed inappropriate, so he asked: "Master Demon King, is there anything you need me to do?"

Lin Zhi did not answer in a hurry, but stood up and walked slowly to Wiz, staring intently into those weak and timid eyes.

Just when Wiz's cheeks turned red and she was a little overwhelmed, Lin Zhi reached out and held her white palm.

"Try to suck me dry."

"Ah?! Suck, suck, suck you dry? Tell the truth, I, I am not interested in this kind of thing..."

Wiz, who was suddenly holding hands, was in a hurry and couldn't even speak smoothly.

"Don't you lichs all use life-draining methods to absorb the enemy's life and magic power? I want to verify the conjecture in my mind."

"...So you are referring to life-draining!"

Wiz's super-fast beating heart gradually calmed down, and his grim expression returned to normal.

She was obviously thinking wrong just now.

Taking a deep breath, Wiz's eyes became serious.

Having seen the demon king in front of her with her own eyes, she was able to fight against an entire elite demon army on her own, so she was not worried that her magic would suck the opponent dry.

In Wiz's heart, he no longer treats Lin Zhi as a human being.

At least they're not weak humans!

Buzz.

The palms held together lit up with a faint purple light, and Wiz began to use the life-draining ability of Lich Specialization.

However, as soon as she felt the breath of life pouring into her body, she realized something was wrong.

Slow, so slow.

Leaving aside the magical power that Lin Zhi had never possessed, judging from the combat power that Lin Zhi showed, the life force absorbed should be as gushing as a flood.

And now, let alone the flood, if he didn't sense it carefully, Wiz wouldn't even notice the energy pouring into his body!

It's like sucking on a lifeless stone!

Lin Zhi, who saw Wiz's confused expression in his eyes, successfully concluded:

Domineering, it can indeed resist the magical curse of Suqing's world!

During the previous war with the Demon King's Army, he had been cursed by the Headless Horseman's death curse.

This fatal move, which is difficult to erase except for the purification of the high priest profession, did not have much effect on him.

Because of this, the Headless Horseman was even scared into emoticons!

Of course, the main reason why he was able to use his domineering energy to offset the magic power of the Headless Horseman and Wiz was that Lin Zhi's long-trained domineering power was strong enough.

To put it another way, if Miaomiao was held by Wiz like this, he would still lose a lot of life!

"Lord Demon King, are you looking for fun at my expense?"

Wiz noticed the faint smile appearing on the corner of the Demon King's mouth, and his eyes suddenly became somewhat resentful.

Although as a lich, she has always considered herself a human being, but being looked down upon by others still hurt her.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm not showing off my strength."

Lin Zhi sincerely apologized, "As I said just now, this is just to verify the conjecture."

"Then can you let go?" Wiz's eyes became more complicated.

"Wait a moment."

Lin Zhi didn't want to end the bowel movement so quickly, so he coughed and ended the experiment.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the Devouring Skill was quietly activated.

The Lich's life stealing and devouring have very similar similarities. If he can strengthen his devouring through this kind of confrontation, his overall combat power will be further improved!

After all, whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group fight, this is a sure-fire way to turn the tide of the battle!

"Lord Demon King, are you really a human being with no magic power at all?"

Wiz could no longer remain calm and opened his mouth wide.

Although it was very weak, her power was indeed sucked back!

Driven by an inexplicable desire to compete, Wiz no longer held back and increased the intensity of life absorption.

Just like that, the two started sucking each other in the Demon King's Palace.

It wasn't until Lin Zhi, who had collected enough information, took the initiative to release his palm that Wiz heaved a sigh of relief.

If she continued to suck like this, she really didn't know if she could hold on!

The perverted devil!

When leaving the hall, Sister Lich silently gave Lin Zhi this label in her heart.

Not long after he walked out of the door, the sound of armor rubbing and colliding suddenly came from the dark and gloomy corridor.

Summoned by the Demon King, the headless knight Beldia and Wiz collided head-on.

Before even saying hello, the Headless Horseman made a very standard bowling hand motion.

After picking up the strength, he threw the head in his hand towards Wiz...

The head wearing a steel helmet slid on the corridor floor tiles for several meters, and accurately stopped at the bottom of Wiz's skirt!

"Hmm, huh, huh, huh, huh!"

As if seeing something extraordinary, the pupils hidden under the helmet emitted a scarlet light that was passively lit up due to excessive excitement.

"Oops! I'm so sorry, Wiz, my hand slipped accidentally~"

The pervert knight explained so shamelessly.

Well, I forgot to mention it at the beginning of this chapter. Among the cadres of the Demon King's Army who behaved strangely, there was also such a well-hidden old pervert!

Compared with a theoretical person like Brooke, the fourth pirate, this guy who looks serious and strictly abides by the spirit of chivalry is a complete action person...

"No, it's okay."

Wiz, who has a weak personality, did not show off his dominance like Nami. Instead, he silently moved away and kicked the disgusting head.

The headless horseman who succeeded in his scheme did not do anything too offensive. He walked over with his headless body and picked up his head with satisfaction.

Standing at the door of the Demon King's Palace, he simply adjusted his breathing and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Lord Demon King, it's me, Beldia. What are your orders?"

…

The perspective switches to the side of the brave team.

Under the leadership of Aqua, Miaomiao and others, who had been moving bricks for three days, finally saved up enough for the qualification registration fee for all members.

The group dragged their tired bodies to the Adventurer's Guild.

After three days of fermentation and dissemination, their reputation had already spread in the town.

So as soon as they entered the door, the adventurers recognized a few people.

"Here he comes! It's that bastard pervert undead!"

"Everyone, please stay away from that guy. Don't look into those squinting eyes. You will bring misfortune to yourself!"

The female adventurers couldn't avoid it and moved their chairs to further corners.

Some of the more rude ones even slobbered with disgust on their faces.

"Hey! Even if there is only a skeleton left, the skeleton will still carry out his dream to the end with a strong will. Come here, I will buy you a drink!"

"Although he has no eyes, I can clearly feel that his gaze swept across the women in the audience immediately!"

"What a strong will!"

In contrast, the male adventurers showed great enthusiasm and cheers were endless.

In addition to Brooke, there are the cute and well-behaved Kangna, the muscular men King and Escanor, the pet cat that walks on two legs (bastard! My Pokémon!!), and the beautiful girl with rare long red and white hair. All attracted considerable attention.

Under the gaze of everyone, the group arrived at the front desk of the guild.

The person in charge of reception was still the blond sister Luna with an amazing figure.

"Guys, have you saved enough for the registration fee?"

A gentle and approachable smile broke out at the corner of Luna's mouth.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for a long time, Miss Luna. Although it's a bit abrupt to say this, you can tell me!"

Before he could say anything, Uta jumped up and struck him with the hell funeral knife.

"You bastard pervert skeleton, don't you think our reputation is bad enough?!"

After this period of getting along, Uta has been unable to adapt from the beginning, but he has fully integrated into the team and regards everyone as a partner he can rely on.

Therefore, the strong character deeply rooted in his bones was released.

"Simi Masai, red bean puree Simi Masai."

Brooke apologized repeatedly while covering the red envelope emerging from the skull.

Such a magical scene amazed the onlookers.

"Yes, here is the registration fee for all of us, meow!"

With Aqua's eyes full of reluctance, Miao Miao placed a bag of Eris coins on the front desk.

——Because of his height, he was currently stepping on the king's shoulders.

"There is no problem with the number, so everyone, please come with me."

After checking the amount, Luna led everyone to a complex magic energy testing crystal.

"You only need to touch the crystal ball inside with your hand, and an adventurer card with various basic attributes will be automatically generated."

"The adventurer card is the only symbol of the adventurer. It is used to add points and verify identity. Remember to keep it properly."

After briefly understanding the basic rules, everyone was gearing up and began to look forward to what attributes they could identify.

"In short, it's a talent test, right?"

Stepping forward with steady steps, the first person to appear was Escanor, whose whole body was steaming with heat.

As the powerful palm pressed down, the crystal ball first trembled.

Then, an extremely dazzling light burst out! (End of chapter)
