The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

Chapter 424 Running Man Daniel

As it turns out, bloodline magic can be quite intimidating when its true nature is unknown.

Of course, even if the details are clear, bloodline magic must be dealt with with care. However, without knowing the details, it is indeed very easy to create the illusion that demons are a naturally magical race.

Even with the elves on the continent of Mu as a comparison, the strength of the demons should not be underestimated, not to mention that there are no elves on the continent of Soron, only dragons.

Daniel's appearance in the port of Castile was quickly reported to the nobles, since in Sauron, to ordinary people, there was no difference between demons and lords.

The Castilian nobles, on the other hand, displayed unimaginable efficiency. It should be noted that the members of the delegation who landed at the neutral port earlier were not taken seriously even after entering Castilian territory, and the envoy even died midway. The letter from the grey-robed man took a very long time to reach the king, as it was circulated among every noble before finally reaching him.

However, Daniel was rescued in the morning and invited to visit Castile, the capital of Castile, a few days later. The efficiency he displayed would probably make Lind feel ashamed.

Looking at the streets covered in excrement, even Daniel couldn't help but cover his nose. Although he had never been to Cape, thanks to Cape's leading role, both Anjou and the Demon Clan had built certain public health systems. The smell on the streets was still indescribable, but at least it wasn't like in this capital city where he had to be careful not to step on excrement.

The enthusiasm Castilia showed towards the demons struck Daniel as odd. Even when he entered Castilia, a group of people sang and danced to welcome him, but Daniel kept a tense expression the whole time, as if someone was chasing him from behind.

However, this only made the Castilian nobles respect Daniel even more, since demons were not common in Castile, and very few demons had settled there.

After all, most demons sided with the Avars, and the demons' ability to amass wealth made the Castilian nobles extremely envious. In addition, their formidable bloodline magic meant that Castilians would treat any demon they encountered as a noble. Demons could even move freely in the chaotic world of Castilia, becoming honored guests wherever they went.

Daniel even felt like a puppet, being manipulated by the Castilian nobles, and it wasn't until he started talking to these nobles that Daniel understood the situation.

"I've already had someone wash the clothes you wore when you arrived."

Garcia personally received Daniel and handed him the folded clothes.

"Thank you."

After Daniel took the clothes, Garcia looked at him with admiration, as if expecting him to put them on.

Why? Because of the activities of the demons, Castile actually knows the hierarchical system within the demon race, and Daniel's clothes are clearly military uniforms of the demon race, and the grade is one that Garcia has never seen before, which means that Daniel may be the highest-ranking demon on the continent of Solon.

How could this not be exciting?

Seeing Garcia's eager gaze, Daniel even felt a tightness in his anus. In the end, he didn't put on the clothes, but just placed them beside him.

After all, in the Iron Ring Project, those humans were targeting and killing the high-ranking members of the demon race. Daniel knew very well that he was actually on the run, so how could he be wearing such conspicuous clothes?

Although they managed to escape to this continent, no one knew when the terrifying Lars Knights from the other continent would catch up with them.

Amidst the warm hospitality, Daniel roughly grasped the situation: he was being hosted by the prince of Castile on the continent of Solon, and the demons were still considered a "higher race" here.

"The Sea of ​​Impermanence is truly dangerous. I never expected that even someone of your caliber would encounter such a storm. But thanks to the protection of the Demon God, you have been brought to our kingdom."

Garcia was incredibly enthusiastic, seemingly wanting to use Daniel as a starting point to establish friendly relations with the demons and further cooperate with the Avars. To win Daniel over, Garcia even used honorifics.

After all, this was a high-ranking officer among the demons, the highest-ranking demon to appear on the continent of Soren. With Daniel's support, Garcia felt that the position was not out of reach.

Upon hearing the word "demon god," Daniel immediately recalled the world-destroying white light, and his body trembled in fear.

Demon God? Now there's not even a trace left.

Garcia looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just caught a chill from being in the seawater for too long."

Daniel maintained his solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Garcia immediately waved his hand, and the servants obeyed, lighting the fireplace to warm Daniel.

Coming to his senses, Daniel tentatively asked, "Do you know what the situation is like on the Mu Continent right now?"

After all, Daniel only felt the need to escape as quickly as possible. He didn't know the current situation on Mu Continent, and judging from the other party's enthusiastic attitude, they didn't seem to know what had happened on Mu Continent either.

At this moment, Garcia, combining his previous conjectures, felt that since a dragon had made a move on the Mu Continent, it was not far from being conquered. He thought Daniel was just showing off his glorious achievements on the Mu Continent, so he said, "Of course, the demons' glorious achievements on the Mu Continent are known to everyone here!"

For a moment, Daniel even thought Garcia was mocking the demons, but Garcia quickly said, "The continent of Mu is probably overrun by dragons by now, isn't it?"

If Daniel could type, he'd probably be slowly typing a question mark right now.

"Hmm, the Avars should have already established a kingdom on the continent of Mu? The continent of Mu should now be a three-way balance of power between Anjou, the Avars, and the great demon race."

Daniel looked puzzled, as if asking where this was coming from. He wondered if he had been transported to another world, since the other person seemed to know what had happened on the Mu Continent.

"Oh, and elves too. Are elves really as beautiful as the legends say?"

Garcia's face showed a dazed expression, as if he was completely immersed in his own fantasy.

“Great demon, we Castile have a perfect plan. All I need is your support to help me ascend to that position. Together we will cooperate with the Avars, cross the Sea of ​​Impermanence, and colonize the continent of Mu, especially that country called Cape!”

Colonialism? Capet?

For some reason, images of terrifying red-robed nuns, gigantic Lars Knights, and roaring tanks flashed through Daniel's mind. In that instant, Daniel knew that the foreign prince before him was beyond saving.

"Is this how everyone in your country thinks?"

Daniel asked, puzzled.

"Of course, we Castile don't need much. Just a small piece of land on the Mu continent, plus some firearms technology, will be enough."

Garcia looked very serious.

"This country is beyond saving."

Daniel thought to himself.

Just as Daniel was about to make up an excuse to slip away, he saw Garcia's incredibly eager eyes, and Daniel calmed down.

If I were to reveal the true situation of the Mu Continent to Garcia now, would I still have any value? Wouldn't I be kicked aside immediately? Besides, the Lars Knights shouldn't be moving that fast yet; I should still have time to regroup and continue being a runner.

Having figured it out, Daniel could only nod in response to Garcia's guess, putting on an air of profound mystery.

After being confirmed, Garcia showed even more respect for Daniel, constantly asking him how he got here, to the point that Daniel could only make up lies. Fortunately, no other people who had escaped with him had been found yet, so the situation on Mu Continent was entirely up to Daniel to make up.

Daniel is indeed the highest-ranking demon on the continent of Soren at present.

And so, a demon officer who had been shipwrecked and ended up in the port of Castile tacitly accepted the Castile nobles' speculations about the situation on the continent of Mu, and settled down in the residence of the second prince, Garcia.
