I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

The power of blood and magic were exhausted at the same time, Julian only felt the pain in his head, and the muscles of his whole body were protesting. At the last moment when his physical strength was about to be exhausted, he swung the long sword almost entirely by instinct. Now that I came back to my senses, I found that my body was a little out of control.

Fortunately, Xiao Hei was quite reliable. Julian asked him to guard the door, so he squatted obediently at the entrance of the passage. His huge body blocked the passage tightly, not even letting a single monster come through.

After resting for a while, Julian opened the panel, and he was very surprised by the content displayed on it.

He was right in guessing that although these demonic insects provided little experience, they could add up to a lot. Before his physical strength was exhausted, he had already accumulated nearly half of the experience of the twentieth level.

This kind of upgrade speed is much more convenient than him struggling to find enemies, and he also noticed that his sword skills have also improved to a certain extent. Many moves that used to be very jerky have become very smooth now.

"Perhaps... this is really a gift..." Looking at the changes in his various attribute values, Julian muttered to himself in disbelief.

At the same time, he became more wary of that strange man.

There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason. He signed a contract with that man, but he did not pay the price with the support of his systematic father. Come to give him benefits?He can only say: Hehe...

***

A certain mysterious space:

"Heh... interesting little thing, but the soul is indeed very beautiful." The handsome man chuckled, looking across the void to an unknown place.

"A strong soul is charming. Since you want to make him your collection, it's a good deal for you to pay a small price to make him more dazzling, isn't it?" A voice was not salty. Said.

If Julian was here, his jaw would probably drop in shock. He would never have imagined that his father, the big backer system, would be in collusion with that demon grand duke.

"You're right..." The handsome man showed a charming smile: "But in this way, it's also in your favor, isn't it? You want to make him stronger, why should I help an enemy?"

"Enemy?" The system's father sneered, "Is a scumbag with only five combat power qualified to be the enemy of a demon prince? You seem to be kidding me."

"No, you understand, I'm talking about potential, your human potential."

"Sorry, I'm not human, so I don't really understand what you're talking about." The system scolded him without hesitation.

handsome man: ...

"Okay, let's stop rambling here. You want his soul, and I want him to be stronger. There is no conflict between the two. You should be able to see that with his current strength, there is no threat at all. It's up to you, when you feel that he is a threat, at worst, close this channel." The system said impatiently.

The handsome man thought for a while, and agreed that this would not be dangerous to him.

When the two disconnected, a light group in the void looked in the direction of the plane of hell, and said softly: "Idiot!"

The handsome man opened his eyes on the resplendent throne, tapped his lower lip with his index finger, and let out a chuckle: "Interesting..."

Just don't know if he meant Julian by funny or someone else...

After working so hard to deal with all the monster bugs, finally it was time for the passage to be closed. Looking at the still empty mine passage, Julian felt quite uncomfortable, feeling that he had been severely tricked by that man once.

accurate!Want to flip the table...(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

However, as a rational adult, he must follow the instructions of his heart, and endure it until he has enough strength...

He sealed the mine tunnel and planned to come over tomorrow to continue guarding the gate.

Fortunately, when the tunnel is closed, nothing abnormal can be seen. Even if someone breaks in here, nothing can be found.

Bringing Xiao Hei back to the Gray Tower, Julian's gloomy face made everyone shudder.

Matthew saw him from a distance and waved in a good mood. When he approached and saw his face clearly, the guy turned around and ran away.

Julian: ...

Am I that scary?

After entering the gate of the gray tower, Sidney greeted him: "Master, Mr. Kai is waiting for you in the living room."

"Kay is here?" Julian frowned: "Did he say something?"

Sidney shook his head, Julian nodded to indicate that he understood, changed direction and walked towards the living room.

Xiao Hei has been following behind him, and has been looking around curiously since he entered the Gray Tower. Sidney observed quietly for a while, and put a question mark on Xiao Hei's origin.

"This is Hegel, the child I picked up. You can call him Xiao Hei, and he will be by my side in the future." Julian said to Sidney. "You arrange a place for him to live first."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Xiao Hei: "This is my housekeeper, Mr. Sidney, you can call him Grandpa Sidney."

Xiao Hei looked Sidney up and down, then turned to look at Julian: "So weak, can I eat it?"

Julian immediately turned black, and slapped him on the head: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, haven't you eaten enough just now? Remember the three chapters of the agreement I told you, if you can't do it, go back."

"Oh." Xiao Hei covered his body reluctantly, apparently not planning to call Sidney Grandpa.

In his eyes, the skinny old man in front of him is worse than the magic insect, comparable to his grandfather?Next life!

Cerberus has always been so upright, except for those naturally powerful high-ranking demons, only Julian, who has subdued him, can get him to look at him differently.

The veins on Julian's forehead popped up. He originally thought that Xiao Hei was a fool, but he didn't expect that this guy was a bit of a second grader.

He knocked Xiao Hei on the head again, and warned: "Be honest with me, otherwise..."

Xiao Hei pursed his mouth and stopped talking, and Julian was quite a headache for him, as long as he didn't cause trouble, he was satisfied.

"Hehe, master, don't worry, Xiao Hei will teach me." Sidney smiled kindly, but Julian only wanted to light a candle for Xiao Hei.

Under the premise that the use of force is not allowed, he has even foreseen the tragic future of Xiao Hei... Really think that Sidney who can join the Dark Night Rose is a good old man who is easy to bully?

After waving the two away, Julian came to the living room to receive Kai.

As a standard foodie, Kai likes to come here to run errands for the leader. Julian has never let him down. Every time he comes here, he can have a meal with him. He never had a chance to eat a piece of the snacks that Lian prepared for him!

When Julian entered, Kay was eating and drinking. Owen can easily travel between Gray Tower Valley and Monk City, but this distance is quite heavy for Kay. After making such a trip, the food he ate in the morning The things have been digested long ago, and I just come here to eat and drink with an empty stomach.

"Yo, the Baron is back." Kay greeted Julian with a smile.

The two had a lot of contact on the way here, and Julian himself didn't have much airs, so the relationship was quite good.

"Did Owen ask you to come?" Julian didn't show any politeness to him, took off his coat and hung it up, and sat down on the sofa.

Kai's originally smiling expression suddenly changed after he smelled the smell of blood floating in the air, and he asked nervously, "Are you injured?"

"No, I encountered some minor problems just now, and they have basically been resolved." Julian said pretending to be relaxed.

Kay looked him up and down and saw that he was moving without any... wait, his thighs...

Seeing Kai staring at his thigh, Julian felt bad. He used medical skills to treat his trauma before, but although the frostbite attached to the frozen long sword was also cured, his legs and feet were still a little numb. Obvious, but it fell into Kai's eyes and he obviously didn't miss it.

He didn't want this matter to be known to Owen. It's not that he didn't trust Owen. It's just that recently, Owen was tired of dealing with that Ulysses. He didn't want to cause him any trouble because of this kind of thing. .

Therefore, even if he wanted to tell him, he didn't want to say it now. It would be better to wait until the Inquisitor was sent away.

"Your leg..." Kay hesitated for a moment, and finally asked. He could see that Julian didn't want to tell him, but he even valued his friend Julian, if he knew that he knew about it or not. report, then he is dead.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just a slight injury, but I've healed it." Feeling that he couldn't hide it, Julian simply talked about his pants generously, revealing the wound on his leg.

The wounds treated by medical techniques had basically healed, but the wounds caused by the freezing left a large patch of glaring blue-black on the fair skin.

And in addition to the large black and blue, there are many small pale pink strips on his legs, which are the new skin after the wound has healed, and the color is obviously different from other places.

Kay was a seasoned fighter, and it was obvious at a glance that Julian hadn't told the truth just now, and this was not the scar left by a battle that could be 'easy'.

Kay understood that Julian's failure to tell the truth was probably because he was worried that he would impress their leader. After all, he was also very clear about the importance the leader attached to him, but he also knew that if he concealed such a thing, he would end up in a very miserable end.

Therefore, for Julian’s suggestion that he should keep it a secret, he didn’t bother at all. After eating and drinking, he slapped his ass and ran away after eating and drinking, for fear that Julian would make something embarrassing for him. requirements.

Julian: ...

Well, to a certain extent, this also proves that Owen is good at manipulating people, at least he won't betray him just because of two meals.

Julian comforted himself silently, then turned around and told Sidney that due to the financial constraints of the territory recently, next time Kay came again, he would give him black bread and cold water.

Sidney: ...

That's right, it's that narrow-minded!

Owen Diary:

Julian is injured?How did he get hurt?Is it serious?

Kay is an idiot, can't you see it clearly and tell me?

Um?Wait, Kay just said the wound was on the thigh, which means...he saw Julian's thigh?

……

Although I know it's okay for a man to be looked at by his thighs, I still feel very unhappy. I have a feeling that my belongings are being taken advantage of.

I can't get angry with Julian because of this kind of thing. He is my lover and my partner, but not my vassal. I keep telling myself in my heart, but I still feel angry...

Let's go Kai, let's go to the school field to practice, let me see if you have improved recently!
