Suddenly someone called her name.
"Lysandra Pukeli?"
"..."
Lysandra stopped reaching for the pudding in surprise and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a blond female demon standing on the wide marble steps connecting the second floor, seeming to be looking down at the lobby on the first floor with disdain and curiosity.
"Uh, hello."
Lysandra shouted, walking towards her.
She felt that no matter who the other party was, as long as it was a rare demon she met, it was necessary for her to accept the conversation at the moment. It would be better than striking up a conversation with a passing stranger.
However, although.
This was a demon classmate she didn't want to see, Tia Nokta.
When I was in school, if I was a poor student, then the other person would be an excellent student.
And he is a descendant of a noble in name only, but the other party is a great noble of Demon King City who is impeccable in every aspect, and is also the cousin of Lei Mingqing.
"I really didn't expect to see you here."
The blond demon noble said absently when he saw Lysandra.
She shook Lysandra's hand indifferently, with a domineering attitude.
"Haha."
Lysandra rubbed the back of her head innocently.
When I was in school, I had always been very honest, and would do my best to obey other demons if I could.
Even though she knows that the other person looks down on her, she will accept it.
"But I did hear that you have been helping Qing Luo recently. It seems that you are playing house with that princess?"
The blonde noble lady asked.
"That's not really true."
Lysandra felt that it was not because she had too much self-recognition, but that the princess did indeed regard her as a friend sincerely.
"What kind of demon is she?"
Tia, a blonde aristocratic lady, asked as she led Lisandra to the second floor.
Her pace was slightly faster, and Lysandra was following her more like a follower.
"A very good demon."
Lissandra didn't know how to specifically describe Princess Hyperion, a demon who didn't quite look like a demon.
"Haha, it seems that there is really nothing to look forward to for you to make such a comment."
The blond noble lady Tia chuckled lightly, crossed her arms, and brought Lisandra into a small circle like a little follower.
"It's a shame that my brother might have to marry such a useless demon princess from the previous generation."
She shook her head and said.
Just thinking about how my cousin Lei Mingqing, as a demon general, would have to compete with other big demons for a half-demon princess who could play with the lower nobles, felt very ridiculous.
If it weren't for the fact that the princess had some blood of the old royal family in her body, and the current demon world couldn't produce a new nine-seal demon to activate the blood of the new king in a short time, no big demon would really be willing to marry her.
To these famous nobles, the descendant princess is nothing more than a reproduction machine full of benefits.
"..."
Lysandra wanted to retort, but her throat started to mutter. She thought about this occasion. Mr. McCarthy had invited her, and the owner of the palace had not yet appeared. If she had done something rude first and annoyed other guests, Really inappropriate.
But it is undeniable.
The fate of the princess is indeed beyond the control of the princess herself.
Lissandra couldn't shake the result at all.
If there really was a demon who could save the princess and love the princess deeply, Lisandra felt that she would also be happy for the princess. Unfortunately, there was no demon that could protect the princess like the knight in the fairy tale.
In this era, in the demonic world where materialism is rampant and corrupt, only interests and power come first.
Demons who are in a "high position" but can still maintain their true intentions and are not devoured by desires are considered rare.
Not to mention those big demons who really have the strength to marry the royal family.
Chapter 568 My Neighbor Mr. Ranch
After the first war between the vampires and the demons, the two sides signed the "North-South Treaty". The demons subsequently experienced unprecedented economic prosperity, and the magic industry developed rapidly, promoting engineering construction and the rise of consumerism.
In this era, many demons have gained huge wealth and high status through investment and trade. It is not impossible to become a nouveau riche or to rise to the top in one step.
Just like the emergence of Rocky McCarthy, it will not be so difficult for the demons to guess. It can only be said to be normal. Maybe the next Rocky McCarthy will appear next year.
Of course, the reason why this restaurant quickly became famous is that in addition to McCarthy's extremely deep magical connections in Necalis and his seeming friendship with many ministers, there is also a unique limited-edition dish called Earl's Blood.
It was a bright red pudding that was said to have magical powers that could make demons addicted.
In the demon world, chefs who can make food with magical effects are no less important than magic craftsmen.
As for the Count's Blood Booster meal, after consuming a certain amount for the first time, it will even permanently increase one's physical strength.
As a result, it gradually became a hard-to-find dish in this restaurant.
Many demons want to replicate McCarthy's success, but they can't find a clue.
"Some demons told me that he had killed many of his own kind."
The sound of conversation brought Lysandra back to reality.
Lysandra suddenly felt a chill, because she knew that these demons were talking about the owner of the palace restaurant, Rocky McCarthy.
She had already followed her old classmate, the blond aristocratic lady Tia, to stand beside the demon men and women. Soon, under the introduction of Miss Tia, she completed the introduction with the surrounding demons.
This is the real aristocratic circle of the royal capital Nekalis. Lisandra can only hesitantly say that she is a descendant of the ancient great demon clan Duke Pukeli, hiding that she actually "sneaked in" because she lives next door. , rather than a genuine distinguished member of this restaurant.
Unlike Lysandra who was timid, the demon noble next to her leaned forward, eager to hear what happened to the owner of the restaurant.
"I don't think that's the case."
The eldest lady Tia said hesitantly,
"It's more likely that he was a spy during the war."
As the cousin of the Demon Realm General Lei Mingqing, she could probably tell that many of the employees in the restaurant had military qualities. She didn't believe it if McCarthy had nothing to do with the Demon Realm Army.
She had explored the restaurant several times before and asked all the demons she knew, but she couldn't get any clues about McCarthy.
This ghostly presence only reminded her of the high-level spies with professional qualities that her cousin had said.
A demon gentleman nodded in agreement, took a breath, and then lowered his tone:
"I heard the demons talk about this. Some demons know him a little bit. He seems to have just returned from the border. He has the emblem of the orc city-state family. Even after the war, he seems to have been lurking in the human and blood kingdoms, all the way. Go into business and find a new way to make a fortune.”
He swore that his gossip was accurate.
"Oh no."
The girl's rebuttal voice drew Lysandra's face to the other side.
"How could he be a spy during the war, because during the war he studied at Purgatory Corridor College. I heard from many demons that Rocky McCarthy studied at the cruel and prestigious school at Purgatory Corridor College."
She added excitedly, seeing that the young nobles were beginning to believe her.
"But I also believe that sometimes you can tell it from the expressions of the employees in this restaurant inadvertently. I bet that he must have killed many demons."
She narrowed her eyes and shuddered just by gossiping to herself.
Lysandra also trembled involuntarily.
As they chatted, all the surrounding demons couldn't help but use their eyes in their spare time, trying to find the figure of the rumored owner of the restaurant, Rocky McCarthy, in the splendid palace.
However, there were still no clues.
He might be downstairs, he might be upstairs, he might be any demon they saw.
No one knows what kind of demon race he is, whether he is young or old, handsome or mediocre.
Even those demons who usually talked about everything had to whisper in a low voice when they mentioned McCarthy in the restaurant, making them believe in each other how mysterious surrounding this demon was.
"No matter what, at the royal ceremony in a week, we should be able to see McCarthy's true face in the palace."
Finally, a nobleman said this with regret.
According to McCarthy's current connections in the capital city of Naikalis, there is a high probability that he will be invited.
Many of the celebrities gathered here were able to attend, and it was unlikely that McCarthy, who hosted them all, would not be able to attend.
Perhaps that will be Rocky McCarthy's first public appearance.
Before that, maybe he was in this palace, just walking past you, but you couldn't even notice him.
"The premise is that Mr. McCarthy is willing to participate. Maybe for him, a mere princess is nothing worth seeing."
The blonde aristocratic lady Tia spread her hands,
"Lissandra, how beautiful is the princess? Can she seduce McCarthy?"
She looked at the little follower Lysandra and asked.
"Well, it's just beautiful..."
Lysandra replied.
She understood what Tia meant. After all, a princess wanted to be ranked, not to be ranked, and to be powerful but not powerful. As a caged bird with the nature of a work of art, the only thing that might be attractive to men was her appearance.
"But a demon like McCarthy has never seen a female demon before. It's impossible for him to make a special trip just to see the princess's face. The princess is not so beautiful."
While Lisandra was silent, a demon beside her quickly retorted.
The only ones who can take away the princess are the big demons.
And McCarthy is obviously not a big demon.
