I heard he wanted to go to Babyls to study," Andro M. Jazz said, furious, "He must have been influenced by you, so he was grounded."
"Huh?" Shesi scratched his head. What the hell? This shouldn't be his fault, right? Besides, Shura Hime might just be looking for some friends. Shesi felt he shouldn't take the blame, but what Shesi didn't know was that he really should take the blame. At this moment, in Shura Hime's room in the Demon God Clan.
"Hmph! Why won't you let me go to Babyls? If I don't go and watch over Shesi-kun, he'll be snatched away by some other bad demoness!"
Upon hearing this, Shesi also relaxed a bit.
"Your recent titles include 'Bridge for Communication between the Demon Clan and the Demon God Clan,' 'Brave Young Man Who Protected Lady Shura Hime,' and so on. The requirements for the Skala assessment are to contribute to the Demon World, and it's clear you've already done so without realizing it. Although Skala hadn't started back then, everyone already considers you to have passed."
"Furthermore, I'm also a bit curious how you got more than half of the Thirteen Crowns to agree to your promotion. Three Greats are one thing, and Bachiko is, after all, Iruma-kun's teacher. It's also understandable that Lady Amy's child gets along well with you, so her vote is fine. But even the two newly appointed Thirteen Crowns also voted for you." Amaymon looked strangely at the young man in front of him.
"Hahaha… maybe because I'm more handsome."
Shesi's thick skin made Amaymon laugh.
"Haha, but I should warn you first. Even though this secret realm has been roughly cleared, there are still many dangers, so you need to be careful."
Shesi nodded seriously, indicating he understood, and then began to walk forward, with Amaymon following behind him. Originally, as a Thirteen Crown, he only needed to check in occasionally, but for some reason... the troubles in his territory were suddenly resolved, leaving him with no choice but to follow Shesi. After all, his territory seemed to have been taken care of by the other Thirteen Crowns, so there was nothing left for him to do.
"mandragora?" Shesi, walking along the path, looked at this field of mandragora with a bit of surprise.
Amaymon looked over and raised an eyebrow. mandragora, simply put, is the Demon World's strongest anesthetic. If you eat just one, even an ancient mammoth would be instantly paralyzed. Precisely because of this, if it's not harvested correctly and its thorns pierce the body, at least a month of full-body paralysis is unavoidable, which would mean failing this Skala. Just as he was about to warn him, Shesi walked directly into the middle of the field.
"Hmm… top-grade quality… Hasn't this place really been plundered by those crazy doctors?" Shesi looked at Amaymon in confusion. Amaymon naturally knew who Shesi was referring to – those crazy doctors from the Demon World's largest hospital. After their satisfaction from healing demons was no longer enough, they began to research demons. Just like Baal before, although his human experimentation was a forbidden evil in the Demon World, there were always a few doctors who weren't satisfied with just healing and began to trace the origins, which is the demon body. So they would find a powerful backer and have him sponsor and support their research. These people would attach themselves to high-ranking demon families and conduct their research, and the bodies of high-ranking demons were very important materials. mandragora of this quality should certainly have been snatched up by these doctors.
"Only the Thirteen Crowns know about this place; others don't know it's already been cleared, so they naturally don't know what's inside."
Amaymon's words made Shesi nod, then he kicked out a mandragora with his shoe, crushed it, and then threw his bullet into it.
"It seems my weapon will make people feel no pain."
Upon hearing this, Amaymon's mouth twitched. What a twisted sense of humor. But Shesi ignored Amaymon. Shesi always felt there was still danger here, he didn't know why, but Shesi trusted his sixth sense, which had saved him many times.
The two continued deeper. Suddenly, a vine dropped down. Shesi instinctively pulled out his dagger and cut it off.
Amaymon raised an eyebrow at the sight and commented, "Good reaction speed, and very decisive in your actions. This kid is really good! After you get promoted, do you want to come to the battlefield with me? I guarantee you'll be a good commander."
Shesi smiled and shook his head after hearing this.
"Uncle, I'm still a second-year student. How could I go directly? Also, was what you just said an attempt to win me over?"
"Un… Uncle… Your words are really sharp. It's not exactly winning you over, just a bit of admiration."
Suddenly, Amaymon's eyes narrowed, and he looked towards the depths of the forest.
"This aura…"
Amaymon twitched his nose and then said, "Kid, in here… No, come over here." Amaymon's words made Shesi also cautiously run behind him, then they stood back-to-back, looking around. Suddenly, a shadow darted through the jungle. Shesi immediately threw a lightning ball, but it missed.
"Tsk… that speed." Shesi immediately felt it was tricky. This lightning ball was his fastest magic. If it couldn't hit, then it would be difficult.
Amaymon didn't pay attention to the shadow; he continued to look into the depths of the forest. Suddenly, a deep cry came from the depths. The shadow seemed to understand and returned to the depths. Amaymon also seemed to understand, relaxed, and replied with a cry.
"Oh…" Shesi watched the sounds of their communication.
"Hmm… the importance of foreign languages." Seeing that there seemed to be no danger, Shesi made a joke, but Amaymon, listening to the cries, looked strangely at Shesi and then refused the request from inside.
"Wah-woo-woo!" Suddenly, three shadows appeared directly beside Shesi, and then Shesi felt as if he was grabbed by something and fell into the shadows.
"Eh? Oh my god, the Shadow Clan?"
When Shesi opened his eyes again, he was already in a field of flowers, roughly looking like a flower field on the edge of a cliff.
"What the heck, where did this bring me? Is this still the Demon World?" Shesi looked at this beautiful scenery in shock. To be honest, this kind of scenery… Shesi only felt he would see it in the Human World, after all, the plants in the Demon World were more or less abstract and aesthetically challenged.
"Young man."
A voice came, and Shesi immediately turned his head to look.
..."Although being called by Iruma-kun makes me happy, why doesn't Shesi-kun call me…" Clara was drawing circles on the ground.
Seeing this, Iruma quickly comforted her.
"Maybe big brother is afraid Clara will get hurt. I heard big brother say he went on an adventure in the wilderness, and besides…" Iruma looked at Mephisto for confirmation. Seeing Mephisto nod, Iruma then said, "It seems big brother's Thirteen Crowns assistance is different from mine…"
