Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress-Chapter 404 - 252 You Are Deceiving the Seven Demon Gods_2

Of course, the true power of the Demon’s Eye lies in its ability to discern falsehood, see through all disguises, and drag people into illusions.

The runes in Christine’s pupils scattered, and Black Lotus Demon King was in good shape.

His instincts were keen, detecting something amiss the moment it happened, he immediately went into defensive mode.

"Don’t be nervous, I just wanted to see if you were my enemy."

"Then please give me a heads up next time before you look at me with that kind of gaze."

The Black Lotus above Lance’s head dissipated.

Nothing could be discerned about him through the Demon’s Eye.

He had studied the Demon’s Eye.

Christine, holding a mahjong tile, fell into deep thought, considering whether to cooperate with the Black Lotus Demon King.

She indeed lacked confidence in her ability to take down Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance.

One could say that this guy was nasty, shameless, faceless, and cunning, but not that he was weak or feeble.

Back in the day, when they fought against him, he always narrowly defeated them. Once or twice was okay, but as it happened repeatedly, it indicated that he had always been concealing his true strength.

"If I were to cooperate with you, how would you like to make a trade?"

"Right now, I need a high-quality projection communication device, I only trust the ones made by your Royal Family; the ones on the market... I’m worried about their quality."

"If you’re going to trade with me, have a good projection communication device prepared first. As for other compensation, after I’ve encountered and fought with the formidable enemy you mentioned, I’ll see what I want from you...

"Don’t worry, if I’m unable to help you defeat that strong enemy, afterwards you just need to give me a projection communication device. Don’t think I’m being greedy. If we together cannot defeat that strong enemy, it means he’s too powerful, and I’m bound to get injured while assisting in the fight."

"So, even if we fail, you should still give me the projection communication device. If we defeat the strong enemy, I will demand a certain amount of Magic Gold from you based on my contributions."

Demon Princess Christine felt that Black Lotus Demon King’s proposal was reasonable.

Giving him a projection communication device as compensation for his full effort in battle was fair.

However, she suspected that Black Lotus Demon King wouldn’t fight with all his might, since he would be wary of her.

When making a deal with a demon, how could he possibly not be cautious?

He might get injured, but he would definitely not allow himself to be seriously harmed.

Heh.

Being cautious is useless. If Dark Magic Dragonkin truly intends to seriously injure someone, he has the strength to do so.

"It’s a deal. From now on, I need you to stay in the Demon King City, ready for my summons at any time."

It didn’t matter anymore.

If she couldn’t subdue Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance, taking the opportunity to subjugate Black Lotus Demon King was also an option.

As for Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance, if needed, they could just combine forces with Great Vampire Krastihela, Demon Princess Meredith, and that person from the Fallen Angel clan to lay siege to Lance.

"Tch, your words make me slightly uncomfortable. Please be more courteous next time you speak."

The temper of a Demon King is never pleasant. Now that he was Black Lotus Demon King, his actions must match the character of a Demon King.

"???"

Great Vampire Krastihela glanced at Lance, heh, after agreeing to a trade with her, he unexpectedly turned around and made a deal with a demon.

He probably doesn’t understand the nature of demons.

Daring to make deals with demons, there might not be a Black Lotus Demon King afterwards.

"Let’s make another deal, protect this Young Dragon from being taken by other members of the Royal Family. If anyone tries to take her away from the Demon King City, I authorize you to fight back, and if necessary, you can also command the demons of my Demon King City."

Lance was amused. Christine had arranged things nicely, tasking him with protecting the Dragon Whelp was perfect; now he didn’t even need an excuse.

"Fine, but what’s my compensation?"

"What do you want?"

"Projection communication device."

"..."

Why was he so fond of the projection communication device?

"I’ll give it to you afterwards."

Lance shook his head: "I need it beforehand."

"Beforehand? Christine laughed: "After I give you the projection communication device, what if you run away? I can’t possibly deploy my Demon Army and level your territory just because of the device, can I?"

"Fifteen Abyss Days, give me the projection communication device, and I’ll protect the Young Dragon for fifteen Abyss Days. After that, whether I stay or go will depend on my mood."

"???"

Heh, he wants to get a projection communication device for free?

But this does fit the character of a Demon King. For a Demon King to stoop so low as to stay in one place for fifteen Abyss Days, he’s already lowering himself.

"Alright, but you have to sign a Demon God Contract with me."

"Sure, that way neither of us needs to worry about being tricked by the other."

Christine nodded her head.

The Amethyst Young Dragon should be very important to Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance. He is likely to appear within fifteen Abyss Days and try to rescue the young dragon from them.

There was enough time.

If Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance doesn’t show up within fifteen Abyss Days, then we’ll see if we want to continue negotiating a Demon God Contract with the Black Lotus Demon King.

"So we’re signing the Demon God Contract now?"

"Yes."

Christine gave Suman a look, and Demon Suman instantly understood the meaning of her royal highness, the princess. She walked to the bookshelf in the great hall, took out a scroll from one of the shelves, then walked over to Christine and handed her the scroll.

"Do you want to write the terms of the contract, or should I?"

"The contract doesn’t need to be that complicated, just a single line. The Black Lotus Demon King is responsible for protecting the Amethyst Young Dragon for fifteen Abyss Days, and after that time, freedom to stay or leave. Demon Princess Christine provides a [Projection Communicator] as payment."

"???"

That simple?

This doesn’t give her any chance to tamper with it.

But that could work.

And then there was Lance.

If she wanted to scheme against the Black Lotus Demon King, she’d have plenty of opportunities.

"Yes."

About ten minutes later, Lance received the Demon God Contract with the content written on it. He glanced at it, made sure there were no issues with the terms, and wrote his name on it.

This contract was witnessed by seven Demon Gods, each wielding the power of one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

It didn’t matter.

The Seven Demon Gods seeking out the Black Lotus Demon King, what did that have to do with him, Black Dragon Lance?

But when Lance saw that Christine had signed with the name [Demon Princess Xiya], he was momentarily at a loss for words.

Demons truly had no word of honor.

"Are you certain your name is Xiya?"

"Yes, certain."

"...."

Alright, alright. It seemed both parties were prepared for breach of contract.

So be it.

"Deceiving the Seven Demon Gods is blasphemous."

"As to who is deceiving the Seven Demon Gods, that remains to be seen."

"Fine, just hope you won’t be punished by the Seven Demon Gods."

After signing with the four characters for Black Lotus Demon King, Lance handed the scroll back to Suman.

Demon Suman looked at Lance’s handwriting, took the scroll and returned to Christine, then said to Christine, "The writing is fine."

"Good."

The writing is fine?

The Great Vampire looked at Christine, was this person doubting the Black Lotus Demon King?

"Young dragon, are you satisfied with the guard I’ve found for you?"

"Satis... satisfied, very satisfied...."

Oh Demon King.

Could she dare say she was dissatisfied?

Saying she was dissatisfied would be offending the Demon King.

There was no need for that.

The Evil Dragon wasn’t here; if the Evil Dragon were here, would she dare say aloud [not satisfied]?

Protection...

Wasn’t it just a way of keeping an eye on her under another name?

"Black Lotus Demon King, you switch sides very quickly, don’t you remember you were brought here by Sister Wang?"

Tiji was somewhat dissatisfied with the Black Lotus Demon King; her own Sister Wang was still counting on the Black Lotus Demon King to side with her against Christine.

But now, he was making a contract with the Demon Princess.

That meant if Sister Wang now wanted to forcefully take the young dragon away, the Black Lotus Demon King would directly confront her.

This kind of behavior wasn’t much different from treason.

"After the fifteen Abyss Days are over, your Sister Wang can negotiate a Demon God Contract with me; if the payment is right, I can join her to come here and snatch the young dragon. And to tell you the truth, the idea of occasionally moonlighting as a mercenary doesn’t sound too bad."
