Chapter 465

"What about this?"

This time Saigo held out two fingers.

"It's two."

This time Grayfia's answers became faster.

"Very good, it seems there's nothing wrong with your head."

Xixiang nodded with satisfaction.

"Did you...save me?"

Grayfia asked in a low voice.

"You want to ask why your body is fine after being injured by the destructive power of the Gremory family, right?"

"This is a secret technique unique to the Gremory family. It is used to repair the body damaged by the force of destruction."

Saigo told white lies.

In fact, the Gremory family has no such secret technique at all, and the creatures harmed by the destructive power of the Gremory family are almost incurable.

The reason why Grayfia's body can be healed is because Sergex only inherited part of Saigo's power, and those destructive powers did not really come from the destructive spirit.

It is also because Xixiang itself holds part of the power of the good god, and the power that can compete with 'evil' only has the corresponding 'good' part.

"So that's it."

Grayfia believed Saigo's words. She struggled to get up, but Grayfia pressed her shoulders and pushed her back to the bed.

"Your body has just recovered. Please stay in bed for two more days. During this period, I will let the maid at home take care of you."

Saigo looked gentle and had no intention of exploiting Grayfia.

However, Grayfia disagreed. This rather stubborn girl said with a serious look: "...I lost the battle with Serzechs. I am lucky that I did not die but was treated by you."

"According to the agreement, I will be the maid of the Gremory family for the rest of my life, your exclusive maid. What I should do now is to complete the work of the maid, rather than letting the master take care of me."

Xixiang was able to deal with such a stubborn person with ease. He directly used the other party's responsibilities as an entry point:

"...Now your body has not fully recovered. As a maid of the Gremory family, you must do your best."

"But your current body cannot support you to perform high-intensity work. Rather than making mistakes at work, it is better to rest and recuperate from the beginning."

As expected, Grayfia, who has a stubborn personality and is serious about her work, fell into thinking after hearing Saigo's words, and finally agreed with Saigo's words and sighed:

"...I understand, Mr. Saigo, I will work hard to recuperate my body first, and then redouble my work to complete it."

Hey, if everyone really worked as hard as you do, then this world... would be all leeks!

Xixiang cursed in his heart and said: "...When you recover, go home to visit your parents and arrange things at home."

Faced with Saigo's proposal, Grayfia instinctively refused: "...Thank you for your concern, but I am now a maid of the Gremory family and have no contact with the Lucifergus family."

"As a maid of the Gremory family, it would be remiss of me if I still have contact with other families."

Grayfia herself was aware of her true thoughts. After becoming the maid of the Gremory family, she felt a sense of relief.

Finally, she no longer had to bear some things and feel the heavy pressure on her body.

Whether it was the Lucifergus family or the old Demon King sect, they all put tremendous pressure on Grayfia, making her mentally tense and never relaxed.

But becoming the maid of the Gremory family, she no longer has to think so much, especially about political matters.

All Grayfia needs to do is take good care of the Gremory family.

"Those are your parents after all, and it's not like you have no feelings for them at all. I understand how much pressure you are facing, and I also know that you are actually escaping."

"Since you want to escape in the name of the Gremory family, then I will order you in the name of my master. When you recover, you will go back home and see your parents."

Saigo pierced Grayfia's thoughts of escaping with a look that could see through people's hearts.

Grayfia did not dare to meet his gaze, so she turned her head and gritted her teeth and whispered softly: "...Yes, if this is your order, Master, then I will obey it."

Does Grayfia hate her parents and the Lucifergus family?

In fact, there is not that much hatred. Although her parents and family put tremendous pressure on her, they also gave her a generous life and sufficient resources.

Her parents were not abusive to her, but were very kind to her, but their expectations made her feel painful.

She did want to escape before, but after Saigo pointed it out, Grayfia knew that she couldn't escape.

"Well, then you should take a good rest for the time being. With your physique, you can be back to full swing in three days at most."

Saixiang said this and wanted to lift her quilt up to cover her body.

Grayfia quickly stopped Saigo and covered herself with the quilt with her weak hands.

How can a maid be taken care of by her master?

Seeing her persistence, Xixiang didn't stop her. He just told her to take a good rest and left the study temporarily.

Watching Xixiang's retreating figure, Grayfia was filled with emotion. This little-known Xixiang-sama was really a very gentle person.

…

At the Lucifergus house, Grayfia returned home after recovering and was standing in front of her parents with her head lowered.

She originally thought that her parents would be angry at her for casually agreeing to the bet and wasting the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, Lucifergus and his wife were shocked and said: "...Greyfia, why are you back? Did you make a mistake and were kicked out by the Gremory family?"

"Quickly, go back to Gremory's house with me now and apologize to Lord Gremory and her husband so that you can continue to work as a maid in Gremory's house."

Grayfia was shocked by her parents' reaction.

This is different from what was promised! ! .

Chapter 56 The ‘Legacy’ of the Demon Lord

Grayfia was completely confused at this time.

When she thought about it, when she returned home, her parents' attitude might be cold words to her, or they might be extremely angry and want to go to Gremory's house to ask for an explanation.

But this kind of behavior in which her parents panicked when they saw her coming home and wanted to tie her up and send her back to Gremory's house made Grayfia full of questions, and she even wondered if her parents had been tricked.

What happened while he was in coma?

However, although there were a lot of questions in her mind, Grayfia still explained to her parents in detail:

"...It's not that I made a mistake and was kicked out of the Gremory family, nor did I escape from the Gremory family. It was Saigo-sama of the Gremory family who asked me to come home and have a look."

Grayfia lowered her head slightly and said respectfully to her father and mother.

Lujifugus and his wife looked at each other. They hesitated for a moment and said, "...is it really Mr. Saigo who asked you to go home and have a look?"

Grayfia nodded: "...Yes, Father and Mother, I don't think I need to lie on this point."

Lukifergus and his wife felt the same when they thought about it.

There was really no need for Grayfia to lie about this matter. The urgency and fear on their faces were reduced, and they took on the posture of being the head of the Lucifergus family.

"Since Lord Saigo ordered you like this, then you should really listen to him. I heard that the bet at that time was that you would become the maid of the Gremory family, and you would also be Lord Saigo's exclusive maid?"

The couple looked at Grayfia with a worried and nervous expression.

Grayfia admitted: "...The bet at that time was like this."

Hearing Grayfia's words, the couple were overjoyed. They covered their mouths and coughed, and said seriously: "...In that case, then you can work hard at the Gremory family."

"Sir Saigo is a gentle and charming elder. When you are at the Gremory house, you must listen to him carefully and do not have any objection to his orders."

"Since you have lost the bet, as a member of the Lucifergus family, you must fulfill your promise."

"You don't need to think too much about our family and the Demon King's sect, let alone worry about it. If those old guys ask questions, your mother and I will take care of it for you."

Grayfia raised her head and looked at her parents in shock, feeling in disbelief.

In her impression, her parents were not such reasonable people, and they would not pay for the mistakes her daughter made.

If her parents had said that they would sever ties with her, Grayfia would have believed it to be true.

But the development of things was beyond her expectation. Not only did her parents support her decision, they even tried to stop a series of things that might happen next for her.

Grayfia suddenly thought of Saigo telling her to go home and meet her parents. After all, they were the ones who gave birth to her and raised her. Could it be that Lord Saigo had expected this?

Grayfia was extremely moved at this moment, and she said gratefully: "...Thank you for your understanding, father and mother."

"I am ashamed of the trouble I have brought to my family."

The Lucifergus couple were a little embarrassed. In fact, just as Grayfia thought, they were the kind of people who could actually sacrifice everything for their family.

But what Grayfia herself didn't expect was that what they sacrificed this time was the rest of Grayfia's own life.

They were planning to sell their daughter to that adult in exchange for a stable future for the family.

But since Grayfia misunderstood, so be it, they couldn't possibly explain anything.

In the past, there was a barrier between them and their daughter, but now the barrier between parents and children has disappeared, which is also a good thing.

"Now that Grayfia is back, let's have a meal at home and then go back to Gremory's house to report on her work."

Unlike her husband, Mrs. Lucifergus is more concerned about her daughter.

She stepped forward and held Grayfia's hand, speaking with concern.

Grayfia pursed her lips. She lowered her head and was moved. The huge pressure that had been pressing on her in the past slowly disappeared.

Thinking that everything she was doing now was requested by Lord Saigo, Grayfia sighed. It seemed that Lord was not as low-key and unknown as the rumors said.

He should have very powerful abilities, but he's just not very capable.

No wonder Lord Gremory likes Lord Saigo, because Lord Saigo really has many indescribable advantages.

…

In the spacious banquet hall of the Gremory family, the Gremory family is enjoying today's lunch.

However, although they are a family, there is still an outsider, that is Ajeka.

Since Ajeka was allowed to visit the Gremory family, he has come almost every day, as if he is a member of the Gremory family.

"Please eat, Lord Saigo and all the lords!"

Grayfia, wearing a maid outfit, led many maids of the Gremory family and served plates of food and wine.

After placing the plates neatly on the table, Grayfia came behind Saigo and stood quietly with her hands folded in front of her.

Only when Saigo drank the wine in his glass would she quickly pick up a new bottle of wine and fill his glass.

That skillful and serious attitude, as if she was born to be a maid, was born to be a maid.

This made Saigo sigh, perhaps girls with silver hair tied in ponytails are suitable to be maids.

Sakuya Izayoi in the Scarlet Devil Mansion in Gensokyo is almost the same as Grayfia.

"Ajeka, I heard that you are doing new research?"

Saigo gently sipped the wine in the glass, he looked at Ajeka who was sitting next to Sirzechs and chatting with Sirzechs in a low voice and said.

When Ajeka heard Saigo's question, he sat up straight and stopped chatting with Sirzechs, but said respectfully: "｀ ˇ... You also know this news, Lord Saigo."

"It seems that my research is already known to the world."

Ajeka laughed at himself.

Then he said with a serious face: "...Since the war hundreds of years ago, the demons have recovered some of their vitality in the development of hundreds of years, and the population has increased to a certain extent."

"But compared with hundreds of years ago, the demon population is still quite different, especially in the number of strong ones, which is simply incomparable with hundreds of years ago."

"I have been thinking about how to increase the power and number of demons, which is also what Sirzechs has been worried about."

While saying this, Ajeka also glanced at Sirzechs, in exchange for the other party's approval and nod, then he took a deep breath and said:

"...For this reason, I have an idea. Since the birth rate of demons is so low, why can't other races be transformed into demons?"

"Just like angels, according to the book It is recorded in the book that when the God of the Bible was still alive, many devout humans would turn into angels. ”

(Nuo Qian's) "Although the God of the Bible is no longer here, he should have left a system in heaven that allows humans to still turn into angels, but the efficiency is much worse than it was back then."

"I really want to study the system left by the God of the Bible, but I know it is unrealistic and impossible."

"But not long ago, I found a mysterious stone tablet in the underworld. According to my research and investigation, the stone tablet is likely to be the 'legacy' left by the Demon Lord back then."

"Although I don't know the function of the stone tablet yet, as something left by the Demon Lord who is as famous as the God of the Bible, it must have special abilities."
