Qili stood angrily in the flower garden, hands on her hips, her face full of rage.

...

Inside the tree hole, Angel, having regained some strength, slumped on the ground, slowly lifted his head, and glared at the superior demon standing before him.

"Just now... was that your doing? I mean, the mass of black slime."

The Frog Demon's lips curled slightly upward, suddenly extending a hand, grabbing the air. Angel immediately flew toward him, his neck gripped tightly, suspended in the air.

Angel's limbs hung limply.

The Frog Demon harshly said, "You are already my Demon Envoy. As my servant, you should know to address your master with 'you (respectfully)' and not 'you (casually).' Understand?"

"Hehehehe..." Angel slowly started laughing, "When did I become your servant?"

"Just now, you yourself pledged loyalty to me."

The Frog Demon gradually tightened his grip on Angel's neck, causing Angel to cough violently.

"This is... this is deceit! I indeed use the array to summon dark magic power, but not this much, this fast. So... this is an agreement forged through deception..."

The Frog Demon's thumb slightly slid, squeezing Angel's neck, forcibly cutting off his words. He slowly said, "An agreement made through deceit is still an agreement and must be honored. Understand your position, you have no room to resist. When you used this summoning array, you should have been mentally prepared. If you were a follower of light, I would have to work hard to change your thinking, but you clearly are not."

With that, the Frog Demon tossed Angel to the ground, gleefully watching Angel struggle and cough desperately on the ground.

With great difficulty, Angel finally regained his breath, once more lifting his head to look up at the Frog Demon standing before him, "Then... if I fulfill the agreement, what benefits do I get?"

"Now that's the right mindset, hahahaha. What benefits do you want? Money? Fame? Status? Or power?"

"I want to become a demon, is that possible?"

At these words, the Frog Demon hesitated for a moment, "Become a demon? That's quite unexpected for me. I've cultivated many Demon Envoys, and you're the only one to make such a request. To become a demon, what do you intend to do?"

Bracing the ground, Angel slowly stood up, "I want the immortality of a demon, I want the strength of a demon, I want everything that a demon possesses!"

The Frog Demon smiled and asked, "Even the eternal bondage, do you want that too?"

"Eternal bondage?" Angel eyed with dreamy eyes.

"Hehehehe, of course. Did you think that being a demon, everything would be great?" The Frog Demon slowly bent down, looking down at Angel, said, "Eternal loyalty to the Demon Lord, willing to sacrifice everything for the Demon Lord. Once violated..."

The Frog Demon didn't continue, he merely smiled at Angel.

"I... I can!" Angel quickly said, "As long as you give me power, I'm willing to be loyal to the Demon Lord!"

"But you are not qualified. You are too weak, just an ordinary Blood Elf. If we accepted the likes of you, the abyss would have long been overcrowded. In fact, after the Third Epoch, even the strongest Blood Elf in history has not reached the level where the Demon Lord would accept him. Or perhaps you can prove your value in some other way?" Saying this, the Frog Demon looked at Angel with interest.

"What kind of value? How to prove it?" Angel gritted his teeth and asked.

"Strategic value." The Frog Demon stroked his chin and said, "The last non-native who the abyss was willing to accept was named Gray Gruggle."

"Gray Gruggle? Lich King Gray Gruggle?"

"Yes, that's him." The Frog Demon said with a smile, "He was weak, so weak that I could crush him with a finger. Without even a phylactery for protection. And the Demon Lord asked him twice to join, he refused twice. He is the only one on Keltos Continent who has refused the Demon Lord's offer twice. If you can reach his position, the abyss would very much be willing to open its gates for you."

Angel's eyes began to glimmer, "But... that would be extremely difficult."

"I still say, if it were easy, the abyss would have long been overcrowded. Do you think the abyss is some sort of place?" The Frog Demon said, holding Angel's chin, "As a new Demon Envoy, I suggest you start from the basics. First, think about how to gain my trust, gain my favor, gain some relatively simple things. For example, one or two magic artifacts, or one or two rare materials. Becoming a demon is far too distant for you. I don't even believe you can achieve it."

"Then what can I do? Or, what do you mean by the basics?" Angel asked.

"Krimasha." The Frog Demon took a step back, extending his webbed hands, "Tell me everything you know about Krimasha. This is the topic the abyss is most interested in now. I know the majority of the Blood Elf Magic Academy's Magic Masters are in Giant Snake City. Provide intelligence on them, if you have none, then investigate. Also, that thing called the Mordo Ore. It is supplied by Luo Ge Xian Ni to Giant Snake City, find a way to stop them. If you achieve something in these two matters, you will receive rich rewards. Rewards that as a Blood Elf, you might never obtain in a lifetime. Hahahaha."

...

Walking along the school path, Angel murmured to himself, "Their target is the Mordo Ore and Krimasha? Does that mean the research in Giant Snake City has made a breakthrough? Otherwise, they wouldn't pay so much attention."

"I agree with that statement," the demon whispered behind Angel, "and I think it might not just be a simple breakthrough, they might even be using it. The fact that they need to start from the Blood Elf Magic Academy shows they know nothing about the situation in Giant Snake City. In that case, the most likely thing that attracted their attention is the application. The decryption results are very likely already in use."

Stopping in his tracks, Angel suddenly turned around and glared angrily at the demon.

The demon also looked at him quietly.

After a while, the demon softly asked, "Want to ask why I didn't save you just now? Not only did I not save you, but I also did nothing."

Staring at the demon for a long time, Angel finally gave up, said nothing, and just lowered his head and turned to continue walking forward.

The demon continued to slowly catch up.

"What should I do? Carry out the duties of being a Demon Envoy?"

"Of course, what else can you do?"

"But doing so means I thoroughly betray the Blood Elves. Just like my brother."

"No, this is much more serious than your brother. The Blood Elf Queen is mobilizing so many Magic Masters, which shows how seriously she takes this matter. This is a major event concerning the fate of the entire Blood Elves. If you betray over something like this... I can guarantee, once discovered, you won't be able to just run somewhere else and be fine like your brother. The Blood Elves will surely hunt you down ferociously."

"Are you advising me not to do it?"

"Quite the opposite, I'm advising you to do it," the demon laughed wickedly, "If you must face a hunt, then you should seize the time to strengthen yourself. Only then might you survive the hunt. The best scenario is to fully become a demon. After all, you're already a Demon Envoy, there's no way back."

Angel continued to walk silently.

Thinking for a bit, the demon added, "Maybe you can think from a different angle. Suppose, just suppose, the secrets of Krimasha eventually don't succeed, and Heaven and Hell are the victors. Then, being on the side of the demons is the right thing to do, it's for the sake of the Blood Elves. You're the one truly loyal to the Blood Elves. Isn't that easy to understand? Not to mention the uncovered secrets of Krimasha, even the original version didn't withstand the combined forces of Heaven and Hell. Yet, the Demon Lord's ability to modify life has been proven, which is more reliable?"

"It sounds like the Demon Lord's life modification is more reliable."

"Yes, exactly. So you're not a traitor, hahaha. Maybe you can first turn in the list of all Magic Masters from the Magic Academy going to Giant Snake City, especially their specialties. You have that list in your hand. Just don't know what you can trade it for."

From a distance, Angel already saw Qili.

How to describe it? Hmm... Qili's entire face turned green.

"Do you know what time it is now? It's twelve o'clock! Twelve o'clock! I've been waiting for you here for four hours!"

Angel awkwardly smiled, his gaze flickering, "Sorry."

Suddenly, Qili's temper seemed to soften, her moist eyes gazing at Angel, "I even ran to the lab just now to check, and you weren't there."

"I..." Angel hesitated and replied, "Something came up at home, so I was late, I'm sorry."

"Something came up at home?"

"Yes."

"Sorry, I forgot you stay at home. I was so angry just now, I forgot everything..."

"It's okay. It was my fault, there was an emergency and I didn't have time to notify you."

The demon whispered in Angel's ear, "The place she arranged for you to go hiking seems to be near the Mordo Ore Mine."

"That outing this weekend..." Angel hesitated and said, "Let's go."

"Really?" Qili was instantly overjoyed.

"Of course it's true, I haven't gone out with you in a while," Angel answered with a smile.

"That's great!" Qili cheered suddenly, grabbing Angel's arm. The two of them walked slowly along the school path.

As they walked, Angel's gaze flickered slightly.
