In the fountain square in the center of the banquet hall, more people gathered.
There were some tables and chairs around the square for people to rest, and humans and demons were sitting in groups of three or four to rest under the decorative parasols.
Occasionally, some young men who visited other tables would greet each other with a sneer on their faces, like a peacock spreading its tail, as if they were arguing over some demon.
Accompanied by solo performances of multiple instruments in different directions, it creates a scene of a bustling city.
After reuniting with Tabitha, Mu Hua got to know Barbara in a more formal way.
This is a wild woman. There seems to be a sharp blade hidden under her sincere smile. She is rude yet sexy. She gives people the feeling of a lazy female leopard who can attack and hurt people at any time.
"Mu Hua, Besha said you are very strong. Although Tina has not awakened her bloodline, the inspection team has already invited her."
"Most of her peers who have awakened their bloodlines are no match for her. I hope you can sign a contract with her and provide her with some help in the Court of Exile, or at least impose some restrictions on her."
When they arrived near the Fountain Square, Barbara, who was following Tabitha, said to Mu Hua.
The high heels made a 'tapping' sound on the stone floor, and Barbara looked like a model stepping onto a trade show stand.
Her posture, tone, and especially the way she addressed Taibetha, made Mu Hua frown slightly.
Even though she was half a step behind Tabitha, this woman always had a hint of arrogance that was difficult to conceal.
"Demons grow stronger than humans in all aspects. What help can I provide to you? Is she your blood relative? Is she also of the Claw Demon bloodline? The Claw Demon, her talent is somewhat lacking." Mu Hua glanced at Barbara and said coldly.
Demons are hybrids born from the union of human females and demons, but the uncertainty of their blood awakening is not as strong as that of demons. They usually awaken direct demon blood, which is the external blood of the demon that made the mother pregnant.
Just like Barbara, she is not the first generation demon, but her ancestor was conceived by a Claw Demon, so even if the Claw Demon bloodline contains multiple demon factors, Barbara's lineage will normally awaken the Claw Demon bloodline.
The growth of the Claw Demon is a little lagging among demons, and there is no reason for demons to practice close combat just because of their claw talent. The Claw Demon's most powerful claws can be replaced by too many external objects in demons' hands.
By deliberately mentioning the Claw Demon at this time, Mu Hua was obviously resisting Barbara's arrogance.
"Demons have energy compatibility that exceeds that of demons. Under the same conditions, demons' learning ability and growth rate exceed those of demons." Barbara glanced at Mu Hua.
"Speed? Haha, the lifespan of demons is not comparable to that of humans, and the innate racial advantages are enough to wipe out those so-called growth rates." Mu Hua said with a cold expression, hinting at something.
"Although the Claw Demon is only a mid-level demon, I have mastered the technique to refine the essence and blood of monsters. So even if Tina has not awakened, I can make her have a strong physical fitness." Barbara said coldly, as if she had heard Mu Hua's dissatisfaction with her.
"You know alchemy?" Mu Hua was surprised.
"Just like your incomplete soul fire, I have only mastered the technology of refining the essence and blood of monsters for the time being. I can try to study alchemy in the future." Barbara replied.
"Cousin, Barbara is very powerful. You saw it earlier. Those men are afraid of her."
"Barbara, Mu Hua has sixty Dullahan summoned beasts in his hands. He is proficient in all kinds of curses below the intermediate level, and has also mastered the undead derivation in another way. A vampire invited him to participate in the Vampire Night a while ago."
Seeing that the atmosphere between Mu Hua and Barbara was not harmonious, Taibesha persuaded both sides.
Barbara is a little arrogant. As Tabitha said, she chose Tabitha not because of her strength or background, but because she and Tabitha have similar personalities.
Tabitha coveted Barbara's ability to extract the essence of monsters. Not to mention that their personalities were compatible, as long as Barbara didn't make any excessive demands, Tabitha would obey Barbara in everything.
From Mu Hua's perspective, Barbara probably thought that she had enough ability to be "self-reliant" and didn't want to choose a strong master, so she set her eyes on Tabitha.
But no matter what, Mu Hua doesn't like Barbara's arrogance.
Mu Hua could still remain somewhat humble in ordinary interactions, but his attitude towards his family members had long been spoiled by Monday and Tuesday.
The demon's followers were far from being as simple as Mu Hua had imagined earlier. Signing a slavery contract with them was like marrying a rich girl.
Not only do they have to make various marital agreements before marriage, but if they are not satisfied with their lives, they can also complain to their "parents' family".
Signing a contract to become a follower requires coaxing the demon no matter what. When Mu Hua understands the details, he no longer cares about the demon's follower.
"Vampires? A group of alien species. They won't sign a vassal contract with anyone." Barbara stubbornly retorted to Tabitha's revelations.
"Not only does he have summoned beasts, he also has demon followers. Mu Hua, I introduced you to Tina not because of your fighting ability."
"On the contrary, I hope you can dissuade Tina from messing around in the Exiled Court."
"I can help you coax her into signing the contract first. Then you can kill any exile in the Court of Exile and bring her out. You can also use the five senses plundering technique to bring her out, even if you have to restrict her with a contract." Barbara said.
"..." Mu Hua was silent, and looked at Barbara in confusion. Why did this tone sound a bit like selling out teammates? Facing Mu Hua's doubts, Barbara helplessly told the reason.
She and Tina are sisters, and they also have a brother. However, their brother awakened and lost control at an early age, and when he lost control, he killed their parents with his own hands.
Although their brother was captured and exiled to the Court of Exile, Tina had always wanted to bury him in person.
That guy seems to be doing well in the Exiled Garden. Someone once took a picture of him in a dangerous area.
Tina wanted to use this Demon's Night Banquet to find her brother, but Barbara didn't want Tina to take risks. The sisters were deadlocked, and Barbara couldn't persuade her, so she finally set her sights on the contractor.
Mu Hua's summoned beasts and demon followers don't add any points to the demons.
A strong summoned beast means that the contractor does not need to rely too much on demons in combat, and both demon followers and demon followers are followers, which also involves the sharing of resources in the future.
To put it in an analogy, you were originally marrying someone, but now you are clearly taking a concubine. Under normal circumstances, this will definitely be another option that will deduct points for Mu Hua.
But compared to Tina's reckless decision to enter the dangerous area of the Court of Exile, Mu Hua seems to be a more suitable contract partner.
Moreover, Mu Hua and Tabitha are quite close, so even if they become a couple, Barbara won't have to be separated from her sister for a long time.
After this series of events, Barbara decided to introduce Tina to Mu Hua.
Mu Hua shook his head as he listened to the entire family love-hate ethics drama. When Tabitha was comforting Barbara, the word "trouble" kept flashing through Mu Hua's mind.
"Haha, I suggest you change the contract partner for your sister. Look, those people seem to be from the military? They may be able to provide more help to your sister."
As he stepped into the square, Mu Hua saw a familiar uniform. A hint of annoyance flashed across his eyes, but he recommended it to Barbara.
"Are those people from Lanton? I heard that these military sons only care about power, and the social atmosphere over there is very weird."
"And no matter how they try to cover it up, demons still value personal power. They all look like prematurely aged politicians. We don't like them." Glancing at several people, Barbara shook her head.
"Can't use magical weapons?" Mu Hua wondered, consciously ignoring some of Barbara's comments.
"Well, it should be said that it is not allowed to be used." Barbara said.
"Well, even if you are not allowed to use magic weapons, don't underestimate these guys. They may each have the resources of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people. They are not too weak."
Mu Hua shook his head. As he spoke, he saw Barbara waving at a girl standing by the fountain.
"Tina~!" Barbara's shout attracted some onlookers.
She had short hair, a delicate face with a cold expression, fair skin, and was about 1.7 meters tall. Apart from her features, from a distance, the girl in front of her and Barbara did not look like sisters at all.
When they saw Tina in a maid's dress, most of the people who were attracted by Barbara no longer paid attention to this side.
"Tina, come, let me introduce you to Tabitha, my future master." When they got together, Barbara casually put her arm around Tabitha and introduced her to Tina.
"Hello... hello." A strange light flashed in Tina's eyes, and she turned and bowed to Tabitha.
Serious, uneasy, and a little worried about the impact she might have on Barbara, it seemed that this girl named Tina was not as cold as she appeared.
"Hello, cousin, where are you going?" While greeting Tina, Taibesha called out to Mu Hua who was hesitating and wanted to run away.
"This is Mu Hua, hehe, he is a bit shy, you two can talk?" Barbara turned around and grabbed Mu Hua, and while talking to Tina, she whispered to Mu Hua unnoticeably.
"Deal with her. As long as you deal with her, I will take all the monster's blood until your physical fitness reaches 500." Barbara whispered.
"Hehe, my physical fitness has long exceeded 600." Mu Hua curled his lips, despising Barbara's perception. The surprise on Barbara's face also made Mu Hua feel secretly happy.
"Hello, you can call me Tina." The two interacted briefly, and Tina's polite yet cold greeting came.
"Well, hello. By the way, is there a problem if too many exiles are killed in the Court of Exile?" Mu Hua nodded at Tina and asked a question he had been thinking about.
"Huh?" Tina looked a little surprised. She first looked at Barbara with suspicion flashing in her eyes. When she looked at Mu Hua again, there was a hint of inquiry in her cold expression.
"Hmm?" Barbara snorted in doubt.
What does this question mean? What does it mean to kill too many people? Barbara looked at Mu Hua who was "looking at each other affectionately" with Tina, and she felt uneasy for some reason. (End of this chapter)
