Chapter 250: Higher Levels of the Demon Race: Finding Nicholas! Live to see the man!
Chapter 250: Higher Levels of the Devil Race: Finding Nicholas! Live to see the dead! (5000 words)
The influence of the word book is growing, creating a storm.
“Who the hell is this Nicholas Xiu? Writes books that are truly wonderful!”
“It’s so hot-blooded, it’s hard to watch, I can’t calm down, I want to have a good fight!”
“I’m really envious, the protagonist in this book always has strange encounters, winning over the strong with the weak along the way, and even the strongest enemy can be overturned!”
“……”
Numerous people gathered in one piece to discuss, slurping and fantasizing that they were also the protagonist in the book.
……
The news spread to the surrounding cities.
A large number of booksellers who were also in the business of talking books rushed to San Yuan City from all directions to find the owner of Hui Meng Zhai, wanting to get in touch with that mysterious [Nicholas Xiu].
Only because this person was so mysterious, no one had seen his real face until now.
The only one who had truly come into contact with him was the owner of the Dream Returning Lounge.
“It’s not that I’m unwilling to tell, it’s really because I know very little about that Lord Nicholas, too!” The Boss of the Dream Returning Lodge sighed.
“Lord?” One of the Demon Booksellers raised an eyebrow, capturing the key words, and the crowd frowned and looked at each other, which meant that that Nicholas, at least, was a pure-blooded Demon, with an extraordinary bloodline.
There were only three pure-blooded great clans in the Three Source City, and it was easy to make associations.
“You all have misunderstood, although I don’t know his true identity, I can be sure that it’s definitely not someone from the three great clans in Three Origin City!” The owner of the Returning Dreams Jie said with certainty, although they had met very few times, the other party’s physical features were very different from the three great clans.
The Devil Race valued bloodline the most, especially pureblood, racial features were honor in their eyes, they might hide them, but they would never change them.
Heard.
The faces of the people were worried, the clues were broken again.
However, the next moment, they heard the owner of Hui Meng Zhai say, “However, although we can’t contact that lord for the time being, that lord has a promise that if anyone else wants to publish his book, all will be allowed!”
“Is this true?” The crowd was excited and hurriedly asked after him, they had come just for this matter.
“True! Only, in terms of this revenue, you all can only take 40%!” The owner of Hui Meng Zhai’s eyes narrowed slightly and laughed, a full businessman’s demeanor.
The rules of the industry, the author of the talking book and the bookseller share all proceeds equally, that is, fifty-fifty.
But Nicholas had a word with him in advance, that he would intervene with the other booksellers and handle everything, and the extra 10% would go to him.
Don’t look at just 10%.
With the hotness of those works nowadays, this 10% was also an astronomical amount, far better than the revenue brought by the other books in his bookstore combined.
“Deal!”
Without much hesitation, the crowd unanimously agreed.
They were not fools, even if the owner of Hui Meng Zhai in front of them intentionally pitched them, using this profit in exchange for the right to print and sell [Nicholas Xiu]’s works was an absolute blood profit.
……
In the next few days, the storm grew bigger and bigger.
Nicholas’ works appeared in all the surrounding cities.
The wonderful stories with different styles instantly attracted countless devils, not only the bottom-level foreign devils, but also the pureblood young masters and young ladies who usually had nothing to do.
Almost no one was not discussing it.
“Who exactly is this Nicholas? I’ve never heard of it before!”
“It’s never an ordinary person who can write such a talking book!”
“I’ve heard that he’s very mysterious, and many people want to find him, but it’s hard to even meet him!”
“……”
Gradually, the discussion about the talking book shifted to a discussion about Nicholas as a person.
Everyone was curious as to what kind of existence this was.
“I appreciate talented demons the most in my life, if anyone can provide me with information about this Mr. Nicholas, the Feathered Demon Clan will be rewarded!”
At a very grand banquet, the Fourth Prince of the Feather Demon Clan said this in front of countless people.
The Feather Demon Clan was a large clan.
Even amongst the pureblood devil clans, it is an extremely terrifying existence, and there was a true devil a long time ago, only to be weakened later, but the power is still quite terrifying.
The fourth prince is a respected figure in the young generation of the clan, and he has a lot of power.
The words came out.
Countless devil congregations began to participate in the search for [Nicholas].
Not for any other reason, just so they could get the rewards of the Four Dukes.
There was no coincidence.
In the other great clan of the Demon Realm, the Mandarin Demon Clan.
The usually domineering, arrogant and overbearing Thirteenth Miss made a public announcement: ”This Nicholas really does have some talent, and it’s a pity that he’s fallen into the dust and mud! Find him and bring him back! I want him to write books for me alone for the rest of his life!”
This move was certainly overbearing, but the additional price offered by the Duck Demon Race was equally generous, making it impossible for people to refuse.
In addition to that.
There were many other similar things happening.
There are so many people trying to find Nicholas!
Some simply liked his work, some wanted to dominate his people, and more valued his ability to rake in money, and every work was a huge hit and made so much money that it was a bit eye-opening to see some of the ancient families.
For a while, Terra Nova Island was caught up in a vast storm of [searching for Nicholas].
San Yuan City was even the top priority for all forces to search.
But strangely enough, half a month had passed and there was no gain at all.
That person is like out of thin air, and out of thin air disappeared.
There was no trace of him at all.
……
“This Nicholas is really divine, so many people, so many days …… actually did not find a trace! It’s as if this person doesn’t exist at all ……”
“I heard that the thirteen young lady of the Duck Demon Race was furious and blamed a lot of people, many of the escorts and guards have suffered, if there is no movement again, it is estimated that more people will perish!”
“Iris Demon Clan is really vicious ah, I heard that the head guard who has been following her, loyal and devoted, just because this one thing was not done, was directly divided into corpses, let his men divide and eat! And ordered that Nicholas must be captured, alive and dead!”
Somewhere in a wine shop, there was a crowd of demons whispering and tsk-tsking.
“Not only that, these people are searching everywhere, asking everyone, and if they don’t get the information they want, they will directly slaughter them!”
“I’ve heard that quite a few foreign devils have already died! The lackeys of those pureblood clans, bullied by their masters, look for us to take it out on them!”
“……”
There were also demonic congregations with sorrowful faces, having friends and relatives who had died tragically at the hands of those pureblood family’s retinues.
“It’s really superfluous, why bother? That Nicholas obviously didn’t do anything, he just wrote some talking books, and he was raided like this, I don’t know if we will have such excellent talking books to read in the future?”
“What are you thinking? With such an intense manhunt, if Nicholas doesn’t want to be captured and kept in captivity to become the plaything of those pure-blooded nobles, he definitely won’t show his face again!”
“Simply too deceitful ……”
The crowd of devils were filled with righteous indignation, both lamenting that they would not see such a work in the future, and also raging for Nicholas.
It was clear that he had done nothing wrong, yet he had to be treated like this.
A burst of nameless fire rose from the bottom of their hearts, and their minds recalled the past interactions with those pure-blooded devils, recalling those days of oppression, growing more and more indignant.
“Those pureblood nobles, always like this, when have they ever treated us foreign devils as devils?”
“We are all demons, why are they superior to us? It’s just that they were born good ……”
“Thirty years east of the river and thirty years west of the river …… don’t deceive the youth to be poor!”
“Hush, be silent!”
Finally, someone reacted and prompted them to lower their voices.
If they were to be heard, they would definitely be in trouble, and might be in danger of being killed.
However, the voice was suppressed, but the anger and desire to vent in their hearts was long-lasting, and their eyes were filled with essence, unlike the numbness and turbidity of the past, and the thoughts of resistance hovered in their minds.
Obviously, they didn’t realize it.
In the past, they would never have dared to generate such thoughts, and even more so, they would not have dared to say such words.
Now, they were different.
……
Due to the long period of time with no harvest.
Those demons who were ordered to search and arrest felt great pressure, and the bloody acts became more and more frequent, killing people.
San Yuan City was even more of a disaster area.
Countless demons died in vain.
However, what no one expected was that at such a time …… Nicholas, actually dared to show up!
“Tonight at midnight, the new book is released, prepare the money, the old place to trade!”
Looking at the note that silently appeared on his table, the boss of the Return Dream Lounge’s face was white and trembled.
In the past, he longed for Nicholas to come because that was his God of Wealth.
But now, the God of Fortune had become the King of Living Hell, and was avoided.
Swish!
The cold, sharp blade shot up and hovered over the brow of the owner of the Dream Returning Lodge, frightening him with a cold sweat and shrinking his pupils.
A figure slowly stepped in, clad in scale armor, like a humanoid, behind the three tails like steel whips, with barbs at the end, sharp to the extreme, exuding a cold and evil aura.
A pair of inverted triangular pupils were filled with a chilling fury.
Wherever it passed, it was like a forbidden area, no one dared to approach.
“Where are the people?” The humanoid devil’s voice was like nine ghosts of ice, chilling to the bone.
“I don t know, I really don t know, I haven t seen him, this …… I don t know when it appeared! Silver Night Lord, you believe me ah!” The owner of the Return Dream Zhai was terrified and panicked.
Snap!
A crunching sound, like a steel whip-like tail blade lashed down, the void was shattered.
The Dream Returning Zhai Boss was whipped out, half of his body was crippled and broken, blood and flesh were blurred, and he let out a miserable scream.
“I’ll give you one last chance, where is the person?” Silver Night’s voice was cold, killing intent filled the air. He was a member of the Iris Demon Clan, Miss Thirteen’s head guard, the last head guard was planted on this mission, he did not want to repeat this mistake.
“I really don’t know!!!” The owner of the Dream Returning Lodge despaired, hissing and feeling greatly wronged.
Silver Night no longer spoke, his heart was already overflowing with killing intent, his slender tail blade weaved through the air like a spirit snake, to tear the Hồng Zhai boss apart.
“Keke, why are you in such a hurry?”
Right at this moment, a figure appeared outside the door, very slender, concave and convex, hot to the core, with exposed clothing, causing the blood to boil.
It had the face of a human woman, incomparably bewitching, but below the waist was a snake’s tail.
It looked incomparably soft.
However, it made Silver Night’s pupils shrink, feeling a very dangerous aura, and hastily stopped his movements.
“Since that Nicholas said that he would come to trade this night, we might as well wait until this night?” The half-human, half-snake woman twisted her body to approach, although she was smiling, her eyes were filled with a chilling aura.
It was just as if she was also a master who ate people without spitting out bones.
“Do you think, he dares to come?” Silver Night said in a cold voice.
“If he dares to show up at this time, I think he must have some reliance, so it may be possible that he really dares to come!” The woman said.
“What if he doesn’t come?”
“He really won’t come until you kill this person and no one trades with him!”
“……” Silver Night was silent.
“This is true, we can’t find him in our misery anyway, so we might as well take a gamble!”
“Not bad!”
In the midst of hesitation, several figures appeared here again, with a powerful aura, wherever they passed, the demons retreated and scattered, all of them were from the major pureblood families.
Almost all of the demonic powerhouses that had been ordered to search for Nicholas had arrived.
Gathered in this small Hui Meng Zhai.
After searching so hard for so long with no clue at all, now that the other party has taken the initiative to show up, they immediately all rushed here.
……
The night was as heavy as water.
Back to Dream Lounge was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
Strong people from all sides were hidden in the dark, keeping a close eye on all the movements around them.
In addition to this.
There were also a large number of figures lurking amongst the surrounding streets, paying attention to this place.
This storm has been going on for a long time.
Too many people wanted to see exactly how this night would end.
“Will he come?”
“It’s hard to say!”
“Several pureblood families have come and set up a dragnet, there are formations everywhere here, unless a lord level powerhouse arrives in person, it will be difficult for others …… to get out even if they are stronger!”
“……”
In the dark, countless people were whispering.
A little bit of time passed.
There was never any movement.
“This guy is playing with us?” In the dark, Silver Night’s eyes narrowed as killing intent filled the air.
He had reason to suspect that this was provoking and teasing at the same time.
Many of the remaining powerhouses were silent, but their faces were gloomy, clearly having similar thoughts.
“Ah…”
A scream broke the calm of the night.
“Something’s wrong!” The crowd was shocked.
Swish swish swish!
In an instant, countless figures tore through the void and arrived within the Dream Returning Lodge.
Only to see the owner of the Return Dream Lounge lying in the corner like a ghost, pointing at the table, trembling, “Book …… book book!”
The crowd fixed their eyes on it.
Only to see that on the table, I don’t know when a booklet appeared.
The Predestined Biography – Nicholas Xiu!
“Where is the man?” Silver Night’s eyes widened in anger, and he used his tail blade to roll the owner of Hui Meng Zhai up into mid-air, his murderous aura boiling over.
“No …… no one! Just appeared out of thin air!” Boss Hui Meng Zhai couldn’t catch his breath and said with difficulty.
“Impossible!” Silver Night’s voice was cold and hard to believe.
Countless killing formations had been laid here, and even if a Lord-level powerhouse could come and go as they pleased, it was impossible that there was no movement at all.
On top of that, the magic crystals that the owner of the Dream Returning Lodge had originally prepared and placed on the table had also disappeared.
The rest of the demonic powerhouses also had ugly faces.
Right under their noses, someone had come and gone, and they hadn’t even noticed a single trace.
This was ruthlessly slapping them in the face!
The commotion here spread quickly, and it didn t take …… long for almost everyone to know that Nicholas had come, put down the book, and taken the money!
Without being noticed by anyone!
“Hiss, this is too weird!”
“Could it be any Demon Emperor?” Some people were shocked, feeling that only an existence of this level could do this under such a heavy blockade.
“How could it be?” The vast majority of people did not believe it, what kind of towering existence was a Demon Emperor? How could he stoop to writing something like a talk book?
The most crucial thing was, if it was really the Demon Emperor, how could he still allow these pureblood families to capture him like a criminal?
Wouldn’t they have killed him long ago?
Can’t figure it out, can’t figure it out at all!
The Demon Race powerhouses present thought their brains out, but they still couldn’t figure out how that person actually did it!
“There’s only one possibility?” Silver Night’s gaze was grim as he stared dead at the owner of the Dream Returning Lodge, “You’re Nicholas!”
“Impossible, never! How could I possibly be?” The Dream Returning Lodge Boss lost his soul in fear.
Silver Night, however, balked at the idea of taking down the Dream Returning Lodge Boss and taking the corpse back to deliver the goods.
Of course he knew the boss couldn’t be.
But his own young lady was short-tempered and passed down the order to live and die.
Now that he couldn’t find the real Nicholas, he couldn’t go back and explain, and was afraid that he would have to follow in his predecessor’s footsteps.
It would be better to break the pot and bring back a corpse.
However, he was blocked by the rest of the demonic powerhouses.
“There’s also a possibility that he was already in this Dream Lounge before we came today!” The half-human, half-snake woman analyzed, hinting at the possibility that that Nicholas might be a servant in the Book Lodge.
“Don’t rule out such a possibility!” The crowd hurriedly said.
They didn’t want to be like Silver Night and go back with a corpse to fool around, after all, their own master’s requirements were different, they all had to be alive!
It also had to be able to write books!
“Then he must still be in this Return Dream Lodge, look!”
All the devils are scattered, means are used, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they still have to find the person out.
Back to Dream Lounge suffered a disaster, everything was destroyed, the house collapsed.
But a full night passed.
But they had nothing to show for it.
Until the day dawned.
The parties retreated.
Leaving behind a dismal ruin.
Countless demonic crowds converged in front of the ruins, looking at the scene and sighing with emotion.
What a flying disaster.
“I heard that last night, Nicholas delivered the new book to the bookstore!”
“Not bad, these guys couldn’t catch anyone, so they wanted to take the book back to deliver it, and they ended up scrambling for it, and in the end it fell apart and the book was split up!”
“Wasteful!” More and more of the devil congregation converged here, heartbroken.
Nicholas’ new work, I don’t know how wonderful it is again, but it was actually robbed in this way before it was even released.
In the crowd.
Elephant Mountain, dressed in a purple robe, listening to the surrounding discussion, did not say a word, stood for a long time.
He was about to turn his head and leave when he suddenly realized that he was stepping on a page under his feet.
He slowly squatted down and picked up the page, the writing on it was already very blurry, and he could only vaguely see the sentence, “A button three thousand years before the devil, looking back to the mortal world not to be an immortal!”
Boom!
In an instant, Elephant Mountain’s heart was like being hit by a heavy hammer, unimaginably shocking.
In just this instant, he could be certain that this must have come from Nicholas’ handiwork.
Only he could write such words.
It was as if something was awakened within him, a voice that drove him, to keep rummaging through the ruins, searching for other remnants of the page.
He was almost insanely persistent.
It attracted the attention of the rest of the people around him.
“Isn’t this the Ninth Prince of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan? What’s going on here?”
“Why is he acting like he’s crazy?”
“I’ve heard that he also loves to read Nicholas’ works, could this be a blow he can’t take?”
“He’s also a poor man. ……”
“Heh, the son of a pureblood family, why should you and I pity him? Hurry up and go, so as not to be a little bit of the male son rage, kill me and others to vent their anger!” In the crowd, a devil congregation said in a conspiratorial manner.
When these words came out, it immediately scared many people, and they hurriedly dispersed.
A lot of similar things had happened these days, and they didn’t want to be one of them.
