Demon King Priest

When Ulysses and the others walked into the gate of Taji City, the sun had dissipated its last bit of brilliance today and sank to the end of the horizon. The night was approaching. As the last bright white cloud in the sky was swallowed by it, the night in Taji City kicked off.

As one of the most famous commercial cities in Taya, Taji City was very lively at night. Some people who worked during the day would take this opportunity to wander around. And those small merchants and hawkers would naturally not let this opportunity pass, all kinds of weird things were placed on the side of the road for people passing by to choose from.

Helen, who saw this scene for the first time, seemed a little curious, looking at the weird goods around him from time to time, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"Helen? Do you have anything you want?" Ulysses asked, aware of her curious eyes.

"Mhm! Helen just finds it incredible. So there are so many things Helen doesn't know in this city!" Helen shook her head, indicating that she didn't want anything. But Ulysses could tell from her big silver eyes that she actually wanted to go shopping.

‘After settling down, I should find some time to accompany her to shop around the night market. Speaking of which, I myself haven't gone out many times at night. The last time I went out at night, I ran into that strange bazaar, and then became a demon king. But if it is in the city, it should be fine.' Seeing Helen looking around, Ulysses secretly made a decision.

After walking on the street for a few minutes, Ulysses suddenly thought of an extremely important question, and that was - he had forgotten where Cherie's home was.

‘Ah! This is bad!' Although he was there when he fought the murderer last time, he couldn't remember where it was now! ‘It seems like I have to ask for directions.' In desperation, Ulysses began to ask the passers-by for directions.

Fortunately, in this Taji City, Count Lafayette was also considered quite famous. After asking the third person, Ulysses finally got the location of his house.

"Forty-fifth in the Western District." After taking Arcelia and Helen to walk for about half an hour, Ulysses came to a street he was familiar with. After checking the number of the house plate, he knocked on the iron gate with an aristocratic coat of arms in front of him.

This was a triangular coat of arms, and the center of the coat of arms was a sharp sword. There were some beautiful rose petals inlaid around the coat of arms, which looked very noble, even Ulysses who didn't understand the coat of arms of the nobleman felt very beautiful. In the eyes of Arcelia, who was once a king, this coat of arms had a more unusual meaning.

Rose, sword, triangle. There were not many nobles who could possess these three symbols at the same time, even in the history of the continent. The rose represented the collateral branch of the royal family, the sword represented more than three seventh-level swordsmen or knights in their family, and the triangle was the highest level of the Emblem of Glory for mages. This showed that there was a ninth-level mage in the history of this family.

‘This family is not simple!' After carefully examining the Cherie family's coat of arms, Arcelia quickly made her own judgment.

"What's wrong? Arcelia?" Ulysses asked curiously, seeing Arcelia staring at the beautiful-looking coat of arms of the nobleman.

"Nothing! It's just that this coat of arms is rare. Owning this coat of arms means that Cherie's family should have been a big noble family in the past." Arcelia said lightly. In her opinion, compared with the demon king, this was really nothing. Besides, she couldn't feel the power of the people in this family at all. So she didn't keep it in mind.

"Really? It turns out that Cherie is really the daughter of a famous noble family! I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to be with such a noble girl for so long. Mhm, Arcelia, you can wake up Cherie now. Her family seems to be coming to open the gate." Ulysses said casually, seeing a guard in knight armor coming here from the gap in the gate.

Just as Arcelia gently shook Cherie's shoulder, trying to wake her up, the iron gate opened with a "click!", and a middle-aged knight in an unadorned knight armor came out. This was a weather-beaten knight, with a scar on his face that was obviously cut by a sharp weapon, and a sparse beard, which seemed to have been pulled by someone. After looking at Ulysses who knocked on the door, he asked politely:

"Hello, how can I help you? Mr. Light mage. Count Lafayette is already asleep. If it is not a very important matter, please come back tomorrow. Because of what happened to Lady Cherie..." his voice stopped abruptly because he saw Cherie who was lying in Arcelia's arms and stretching.

"Ka! Ka! Ka!" The middle-aged knight stepped back several times, and finally hit the iron gate behind him. His right hand wearing the knight's hand armor lifted up, as if pointing at Cherie with all his strength, his mouth opened and closed like a goldfish, but he couldn't say anything.

"Ah! It's Uncle Rock! It's me! Cherie! I'm back. How are Mom and Dad!" Cherie, who was awakened by Arcelia, ran to the middle-aged knight excitedly, and began to pull the sparse beard on his face.

"La… Lady Cherie?" After Cherie pulled off his sixth beard, the middle-aged knight finally recovered from the petrified state. After carefully touching Cherie's shoulder, his whole body was trembling unexpectedly. It was a trembling mixed with fear and excitement, and even the knight's armor made of steel shook uncontrollably.

"Mhm! It's me! Sorry, I didn't come home early. Because the ship..." Before Cherie finished speaking, a pair of thick hands held her tightly.

"Uncle Rock! It hurts!" With Cherie's painful groan, Rock instantly retracted his hands. However, he could now confirm that Cherie in front of him was not a phantom. His face was flushed with excitement, and there were even two lines of tears.

"Uncle Rock! Why are you crying?" Cherie asked anxiously.

Rock didn't answer him, but turned around quickly and ran into the house frantically.

"Everyone, wake up! Wake up!! Lady Cherie is back!" Rock yelled frantically as he ran. Ulysses was sure that this was the biggest shout he heard in his lifetime. He had no doubt that even at the other end of the street, he could clearly hear this voice.

"Rock! Are you crazy! Who doesn't know that Lady Cherie is no longer in this world? Don't mess around. Everyone will be sad!" A loud male voice rang from the house. The previous words still had some complaints, but the later words were full of sadness.

"Rock, although I know you are sad, the dead will never come back. You know I often dream of Lady Cherie in my dreams! Ah, what a lovely child she was! Why is the God of Destiny so cruel to her? It was first the murderer, and then the shipwreck... Wuwu…" This was a low female voice, she started to cry as she said, her voice was so sad and sorrowful.

As Rock shouted, all kinds of people in the house began to speak one by one, because it was not time to go to bed. Everyone except Count, who had fallen asleep early because of sadness, was actually resting. So Rock's shout startled them all.

"I'm not talking nonsense! Everyone come to the gate! I'll wake up Count!" After a wild roar, Rock rushed to the Count's bedroom near the back garden. He had been there recently lamenting the passing of his beloved daughter. Putting away all the social activities, he just spent the whole day watching flowers, because that used to be his daughter's favorite activity. The Countess fell ill when she got the news of the sinking of Titan Poseidon, and even the grand priest in Taji City Cathedral with the strength of the sixth-level light mage couldn't heal her, because she got heart disease.

"Rock, stop it! Don't do this anymore. It just makes everyone sadder!" Few people believed Rock's words, only one maid walked suspiciously to the gate, and then she saw Cherie at the gate.

"Lady… Lady Cherie!!" The maid let out a scream lower than Knight Rock's.

"Lula!! What are you talking about? Are you crazy too?!!" A fat man in a chef's costume mumbled and walked to the door. When he saw Cherie standing at the door, he fell and his fat body rolled like a ball for several meters.

"Cherie, Lady Cherie!" The fat man didn't care about the pain in his body. He quickly got up from the ground at a speed that did not match his fat body, and ran to Cherie like a gust of wind. The fat all over his body couldn't help trembling, and sweat dripped from his forehead like a stream.

"Cherie. Tell them that you are back. Otherwise, such scenes will continue to be repeated!" Ulysses said helplessly as similar scenes were repeated continuously.

"Sorry! Big Brother, Cherie didn't expect to make such a big noise when coming home! Cherie will call father out." After looking at the "petrified" crowd in front of him, Cherie blushed, and said embarrassedly....Looking for volunteering editors to speed up my releasing speed.
