Chapter 3 Repeated crossing(1/2)
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. Pei Renli strongly agrees with this because he is indeed hungry.
I had not eaten before running to the toilet to play with my mobile phone. After time traveling, I was still in a coma from midnight to morning. I was not aware of it because I was full of questions. After relaxing a little, the unavoidable physiological needs have become rigid needs.
It's definitely not possible to eat takeout as usual in this place, but it's not like there's no food to eat.
The freshly caught pheasant is slowly roasted until the chicken breast is sizzling with oil, and a large grain of salt is sprinkled for simple seasoning. The wild vegetables that look like some kind of fern are cooked in boiling water, and then served with a piece of hard dry bread.
Everything was put on a wooden plate. This was Pei Renli's first meal in another world. It was really a bit wild.
But in terms of treatment, it seems pretty good?
The only troublesome thing is that the tableware is made of knives and forks. Pei Renli feels uncomfortable using it no matter how he uses it, so he might as well grab it directly.
When Perrenli sat on the chair that matched the desk and competed with chicken breasts and hard dry bread, Ravna always maintained a half-kneeling posture. It was more than loyalty, it was simply piety. She probably had this attitude when praying to gods and Buddhas.
Already.
Although I don't understand the reason for her attitude, it seems that at least she is not hostile to him. Pei Renli still has a lot of questions, so maybe he can ask them.
"What happened? Why did I suddenly appear here? Can I still go back?"
A set of three consecutive questions made Ravna, who was originally like a statue, lower her head lower:
"Your question cannot be answered at the moment."
"Didn't you let me travel through time?"
"Time travel?"
Ravna was a little confused about this word and seemed really unclear.
"You are from outside the territory. I have no idea where that place is. I only know that you will definitely come."
She pointed to the crystal ball behind Pei Renli:
"You emerged from the crystal ball."
Pei Renli thought it was just a decoration at first. Hearing this, he picked up the crystal ball with a piece of bread in his mouth and looked up and down.
You may not notice it at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that this thing is not a crystal ball at all, but a glass ball. It is no different from the marbles you played with when you were a child. You can even see the bubbles left during the manufacturing process...
Putting the crystal ball back on the cushion, Pei Renli had to ask:
"What did you say before? I was a little dizzy and didn't hear clearly."
"Your arrival is your coronation. You are the new Demon King."
"Ahem!"
The dry bread almost got stuck in the air intake pipe. It took Pei Renli a while to regain his composure and said with an unclear expression:
"Demon King? Let me ask, what is that?"
"The king of monsters, the existence that mortals fear, the destroyer of reality and the changer."
There are many titles, but in short, he is the villain boss.
"So...the Demon King is still the one who wants to destroy the world?"
"Of course, as long as you are willing, but there is no lack of freedom. Your existence is already of great significance."
"?"
Perrenli still doesn't understand how important existence is meaning to Ravna, he just feels baffled.
Ravna did not explain, but continued on by herself:
"The former Demon King left a prophecy before he disappeared. The new Demon King will come on a stormy night. I have waited for twenty years and finally waited for you."
Perenli had heard of prophecy, but it was actually just the Barnum effect, simply deceiving people.
Besides, I don’t know whether the words of the creature in front of me, who can’t tell whether it is human or not, are credible, so I can only listen to it.
"The former Demon King? Where did he go?"
"I don't know, the former Demon King created me before he disappeared. My only and eternal mission is to offer my loyalty to you, the new Demon King."
If possible, he really wanted to ask him face to face, brother, if you sent the wrong emoticon...
This is not important. What is important is that I was not asked how to get home, nor was I asked why I traveled through time.
But when I think about it again, it seems that the situation is not too bad.
Compared to many travelers who experienced misfortune after time-traveling, Pei Renli felt that he was walking on an invincible flow, with an awesome belt of smoke, sparks and lightning all the way.
"Just because I appeared at the time the prophecy said, I am the Demon King? Then besides you, do I have any subordinates?"
"certainly."
Ravna clapped her hands, and soon there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, like the sound of wearing sneakers that make noise when walking.
Soon, the door opened slightly, and Pei Renli saw a strange creature leaning out into the room.
It is only as tall as a human calf, has short arms and legs, and looks a bit like a panda and more like a stuffed toy. It walks upright and makes the sound you just heard with every step it takes.
Similar guys appeared from behind the door one after another, and finally ten unknown creatures knelt in front of Perenli as if they were stalking Ravna, and lowered their heads one after another.
Ravna introduced enthusiastically:
"They are called Puni. They are magical creatures that are very good at doing chores. They are responsible for your food, clothing and daily life."
When he saw the creature called Puni and heard the word magic, Perenli once again confirmed the fact that he had indeed traveled through time.
"Including me, what you are seeing now is all the team members that the former Demon King left for Your Majesty."
“…..”
It was indeed sloppy before!
What kind of invincible style is this? The so-called Demon King is almost the same as a polished commander.
"Then what, can you send me back and replace me with someone else?"
Pei Renli immediately had the idea of running away with the bucket, but he didn't know how to get home...
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Demon King. I don't know how to satisfy your request. The former Demon King didn't tell me how to send you back. And the moment you agreed, you were already the new Demon King. You were unconscious before.
Due to the initialization of the Demon King system."
In what case, the system still flows?
"Demon King System?"
As soon as the four words of doubt came out of his mouth, Pei Renli found that his vision went dark.
Different from the previous dizziness and unconsciousness, this time it was as if most of the field of vision was blocked by a black screen, as if a piece of black tape was stuck in front of the eyes, but things could still be seen from the peripheral vision of the edge.
The sudden change blocked the view, and Pei Renli was also quite panicked. He stood up suddenly, a little at a loss.
Then he saw a row of white fonts and patterns emerging from the 'black screen' that blocked his vision.
The vertical line on the left simply says 'Pei Renli' and 'Level: 5'.
There should be a lot of text below, but they can't be seen clearly, as if they were blocked by something with very low transparency.
"Please don't panic. His Majesty the former Demon King said that in this case, what you are seeing is the Demon King System."
Although his vision was blocked, his ears were not affected. Pei Renli heard Ravna continue:
"Please allow me to introduce you. You should see the level written under your name. This is a standard by which we measure strength in our world. What is the number above...?"
"5..."
I feel like I have been judged as a scumbag.
Ravna didn't care, as if she was aware of Perenli's emotions, and comforted her thoughtfully:
"Please don't be discouraged. All ordinary people are level 1 to 10 according to the level standard. If you are willing, you will still become stronger in the future."
Although his vision was still blocked by the so-called Demon King System interface, hearing what Ravna, who had always been very respectful and not hostile, said, somewhat prevented Perenli from panicking. He calmed down and asked
road:
"What's that big hourglass on the right?"
Pei Renli's name and rank are written on the left side, and occupying most of the area on the right side is an hourglass that is constantly draining, or an hourglass-shaped pattern.
Not only that, Pei Renli could also see that the hourglass was about to run out, and at the same time he said this question, the last grain of sand fell out.
"That's..."
Before Ravna finished speaking, Perrenli saw the hourglass turn over and start counting again. Then a flash of light exploded in front of his eyes, completely covering his field of vision. Ravna's voice quickly faded away and became inaudible in an instant.
What's going on? You've scored several goals, right?
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Pei Renli had so many questions that he could hardly ask them. He was playing with his cell phone and suddenly traveled back in time. He suddenly fainted while chatting, and now another wave of flash bombs hit his face.
What's going on?!
The only thing he was thankful for was that he didn't lose consciousness this time, but in the constant flashing light, all he could do was close his eyes.
After a while, about a few seconds later, the slight dizziness reappeared, and the light that made him unable to open his eyes gradually decreased in brightness.
To be continued...
