Chapter 1399 “The Proud Little Glutton (3)”

At the same time outside the Demon City, a black figure had just arrived outside the main gates to the settlement when the defending soldiers noticed this unexpected guest.

“Hold! Identity yourself!”

“I heard the Demon City is recruiting demonkins, I’m here to join at the news.” Hoarse in his voice, the black robed stranger answers without delay.

This causes a series of looks between the defenders. Even so, this wasn’t nearly enough to warrant free passage into the city.

Cocking up a brow warily, one of the more outspoken soldier steps forward: “Before you enter the city, we must confirm you are who you say. Stay there while we conduct the examination.”

Unlike other places, the Demon City are indeed willing to shelter demons that are weak and helpless, but that doesn’t mean they would just let in any random individual who decides to stroll onto their premise.

Slightly displeased in his voice now, the black figure promptly inquires for more details: “How long will the review take? You can’t expect me to stand around without limit right?”

“That depends entirely on you. First revert back to your true form and let us have a look to confirm your background.” The demon guard states, his voice getting all unfriendly due to the retort.

The demand wasn’t unreasonable so the stranger didn’t offer any resistance. Taking a step back, he becomes enveloped in a globe of black light before taking on a form of a huge black bird that resembled more of a dinosaur than an actual feathered bird.

“You are a Terraraptor Crow?!” The exclaiming demon soldier gawks, his eyes popping out.

Of the many bird branches out there, the Terraraptor Crow family was thought to be long extinct! To be meeting one today definitely left the defenders shocked and surprised.

I must report this to the king. If this guy’s identity turns out fine then it will be a huge boon to our forces!

Reverting back to his human form: “Is there anymore questions?”

“You are indeed a demon like us and not a human imposter,” the guard nods, “what’s your name?”

“Winger.”

“Wing’er eh? I need to first report your arrival to the king and then have him decide on your placement. Come back in three days, you will have your answer then.” That said, the outspoken demon soldier arches his fist in respect, losing any of the unfriendly tone he had earlier.

“Thanks.” Faintly nodding, Winger had no objection to this idea and turned away.

“Boss, do we really need to make the examination this rigorous and tedious? That person is definitely one of us, and I don’t believe our kind would ever want to work with the enemies from the Celestial Realm.”

“This is not my decision. I can’t help it either because the king personally passed this order down. Did you forget what happened with the prince before? We allowed His Highness to leave on his own and that angered His Majesty a lot. If we make another mistake then I fear our necks would be on the chopping blocks. You have no idea how much the king loves the queen and how much the queen loves the prince.”

The prince?

Winger stops again after overhearing their conversation.
