Don't Confiscate My Citizenship Chapter 568

 Chapter 568 My Neighbor Mr. Ranch

  After the first war between the vampires and the demons, the two sides signed the "North-South Treaty". The demons subsequently experienced unprecedented economic prosperity, and the magic industry developed rapidly, promoting engineering construction and the rise of consumerism.

 In this era, many demons have gained huge wealth and high status through investment and trade. It is not impossible to become a nouveau riche or to rise to the top in one fell swoop.

Just like the emergence of Rocky McCarthy, it will not be so difficult for the demons to predict. It can only be said to be normal. Maybe the next Rocky McCarthy will appear next year.

Of course, the reason why this restaurant quickly became famous is that in addition to McCarthy's extremely deep magical connections in Necalis and his seeming friendship with many ministers, there is also a unique limited-edition dish called Earl's Blood.

It is a kind of bright red pudding, which is said to have magical power that can make demons addicted.

In the demon world, chefs who can make food with magical effects are no less important than magic craftsmen.

As for the count's blood-boosting meal, after consuming a certain amount for the first time, it will even permanently increase one's physical strength.

As a result, it gradually became a hard-to-find dish in this restaurant.

Many demons want to replicate McCarthy's success, but they can't find a clue at all.

“Some demons told me that he had killed many of his own kind.”

The sound of conversation brought Lysandra back to reality.

Lissandra suddenly felt a chill, because she knew that these demons were talking about the owner of this palace restaurant, Rocky McCarthy.

She had already followed her old classmate, the blond aristocratic lady Tia, to stand beside the demon men and women. Soon, under the introduction of Miss Tia, she completed the introduction with the surrounding demon shadows.

This is the real aristocratic circle of the royal capital Nekalis. Lisandra can only hesitantly say that she is a descendant of the ancient great demon clan Duke Pukeli, hiding that she actually "sneaked in" because she lives next door. , rather than a genuine distinguished member of this restaurant.

Unlike the timid Lissandra, the demon noble next to her leaned forward, eager to hear the details about the owner of the restaurant.

 “I don't think that's the case.”

Miss Tia said hesitantly,

 “It is more likely that he was a spy during the war.”

As the cousin of the Demon Realm General Lei Mingqing, she could probably tell that many of the employees in the restaurant had military qualities. She didn't believe it if McCarthy had nothing to do with the Demon Realm Army.

She explored the restaurant several times before and asked all the demons she knew, but she couldn't get any clues about McCarthy.

This ghostly presence only reminded her of the high-level spies with professional qualities that her cousin had said.

A demon gentleman nodded in agreement, took a breath, and then lowered his tone:

"I heard the demons talk about this. Some demons know him a little bit. He seems to have just returned from the border. He has the emblem of the orc city-state family. Even after the war, he seems to have been lurking in the human and blood kingdoms, all the way. Go into business and find a new way to make a fortune.”

He assured himself that his gossip was accurate.

 “Oh, no.”

The girl's retort drew Lysandra's face to the other side again.

"How could he be a spy during the war, because during the war he studied at Purgatory Corridor College. I have heard from many demons that Rocky McCarthy studied at the cruel and prestigious Purgatory Corridor College."

 Seeing that the young nobles were beginning to believe her statement, she added excitedly.

"But I also believe that sometimes you can tell it from the expressions of the employees in this restaurant inadvertently. I bet that he must have killed many demons."

She narrowed her eyes and shuddered just by gossiping to herself.

Lissandra also shook involuntarily.

While chatting, all the demons around them could not help but use their eyes in their spare time, trying to find the figure of the rumored owner of the restaurant, Rocky McCarthy, in the splendid palace.

 However, there were still no clues.

 He might be downstairs, he might be upstairs, he might be any demon they saw.

No one knows what kind of demon race he is, whether he is young or old, handsome or mediocre.

Even those demons who usually talked about everything had to whisper in a low voice when they mentioned McCarthy in the restaurant, making them believe in each other how mysterious surrounding this demon was.

“No matter what, at the royal ceremony in a week's time, we should be able to see McCarthy's true face in the palace.”

 Finally, a nobleman said this with regret.

 According to McCarthy's current connections in the royal capital of Naikalis, there is a high probability that he will be invited.

Many of the celebrities gathered here can attend, and it is unlikely that McCarthy, who hosted them, will not be able to attend.

Perhaps that will be Rocky McCarthy's first public appearance.

Before that, maybe he was in this palace, just walking past you, but you couldn't notice him at all.

“Only if Mr. McCarthy is willing to participate. Maybe for him, a mere princess is nothing worth looking at.”

The blonde aristocratic lady Tia spread her hands,

“Lyssandra, how beautiful is the princess? Can she seduce McCarthy?”

 She looked at the little follower Lisandra again and asked.

 “Well, it's just beautiful...”

Lissandra replied.

She understands what Tia means. After all, a princess wants to be ranked or not, and wants power or power. As a caged bird with the nature of an artwork, the only thing that may be attractive to men is her appearance.

“But a demon like McCarthy has never seen a female demon before. It's impossible for her to make a special trip just to see the princess's face. The princess is not so beautiful.”

When Lissandra fell silent, a demon next to her quickly retorted.

 The only ones who can take away the princess are the big demons.

 And McCarthy is obviously not a big demon.

The rest of the demons were witnesses, participating in the rare lively scene. At most, they could only take a look at the princess's current appearance.

"really…"

Lissandra thought for a moment and could only nod.

If McCarthy is really a lustful person who covets the beauty of the princess, it will disillusion all the demons who are curious about him.

 After more than ten minutes of standing and communicating on the second floor of the restaurant, the first dinner was almost over.

Of course there will be a second show after midnight.

Tia invited Lissandra to go to the dining table in the open-air garden on the second floor. The same tablemates were the same young demons.

The moon climbed higher, and a row of silver sand hung in the endless night sky over the bay. The sound of the harp tinkled sweetly, as if it could let the midsummer breeze flow with it.

It's more spacious here, and you can clearly see how big McCarthy's manor is. The sofas on both sides of the dining table are more comfortable to sit on. The smell of wine is not as strong as indoors, making Lisandra feel like she can breathe easier. .

Even outside, you can hear the sound of music and opera being performed in the restaurant like a program. Champagne is foaming in slender glasses, and is delivered by the waiters and handed to each guest, making a crisp clinking sound.

The next table was not so lively. There was only one devil with pure white horns and lines. Farther away, the same laughter continued.

“Tomorrow happens to be the day when the royal family meets with Count Sergio, the special envoy of the blood race. You guys, don't sleep too late and miss it.”

  The sound of conversation echoed in the wide open square on the second floor.

 The demons who can come to this restaurant basically know what the guests at the distant tables are discussing.

 The vampire envoy arrived in the Demon Realm early because a vampire earl disappeared near the Demon Realm a few days ago.

The vampires highly suspect that demons violated the North-South Agreement and attacked the count.

As for the demons who have the strength to subdue the vampire count, almost all of them are now gathered in the demon city of Naikalis.

Now the vampire investigation leader Count Sergio is going to use magic in the royal capital of Nekalis to thoroughly investigate the clues about the murderer.

No matter where the missing count is hidden and how many layers he has been sealed, as long as he is a demon that has been stained with the blood of the Vampires recently, he will be sensed by Count Sergio, the Vampire Detective.

“Assuming that the person who harmed the Blood Count is a powerful demon, once he is accused, it may cause a serious diplomatic crisis.”

The demon at Lissandra's table sighed.

Hearing this, Shela also nodded silently like a little transparent person.

For matters of this level, the blood envoy Count Sergio is visiting the king of the demon world, that is, the princess. As a minister, the fallen minister is only protecting the safety of the princess.

 The Falling Lord was also smart enough to shift this trouble to the princess, who acted as a shield.

 Because if it is handled by the real person in charge, Luo Qing, the problem will become more troublesome.

The nobles at the same table maintained a relatively dignified posture, eagerly discussing major events in the demon world, consciously representing the family, and being quite friendly to Lisandra who was also able to come here.

 At this time, Lissandra also began to feel elated.

 She had drank two large glasses of wine, and the scene in front of her gradually became hazy.

 But she was also worried that if she overslept tomorrow, it would be bad to be late.

 Perhaps it was because of tonight's event that the restaurant would close late that McCarthy, as a neighbor, invited her over as compensation.

“If the vampire princess can handle tomorrow's attack well, her prestige may become quite powerful, but if she cannot handle it well, she will successfully prove that she is a useless vase.”

The blond noble lady Tia mentioned the princess again,

"Actually, everyone who understands understands that most of the demons have no expectations for her tomorrow. If she is worthy of this status, Qing Luo will not push her in front to block the vampire envoy. "

 Other demons also agreed.

Lissandra tightened her grip on the half-full glass of wine.

 This is already the third time.

 Although what he said is true.

 But Lysandra always felt that Miss Tia was very hostile to the princess.

 In terms of noble bloodline, Tia can't compare to the princess at all.

“I think the princess is a very good demon.”

Lissandra hung her head and muttered word by word,

"Your cousin Lei Mingqing has to be chosen by the princess before he can win. Although you say she is not worthy, she can indeed choose. Princess, she is qualified to choose, but you are not qualified to choose. Your cousin."

Perhaps she was under the influence of alcohol, so she just told the truth. This time she didn't want to echo Tia's smile.

 The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

 The sofa beside the table became quiet for a moment.

 They all stared at Lysandra and Tia in surprise.

But Miss Tia didn't say much.

 She tried hard to maintain the dignity and calmness that belonged to the nobility.

 But with the subtle effect of alcohol, the emotions buried deep in her heart seemed to be difficult to cover up, and her eyes began to become misty.

 She gradually grabbed the hem of her skirt with one hand and shed tears.

This reaction confused Lisandra.

  Other demons around know it.

Because Tia just wants Lei Mingqing to lose and doesn't want her cousin to be taken away by a woman she has never met.

 And Lisandra's words were too offensive for Tia.

"what can I do."

 Tia's tears slid down her perfect face one drop after another. Her hands trembled slightly, and the wine in the glass swayed slightly.

At this moment, although she was still beautiful, her fragility and grievances seemed extremely fragile in this silent night.

 She knew that their family needed a princess, and she also knew that she really didn't want her cousin to win, but she couldn't tell her cousin, otherwise it would only appear that she was ignorant and drag down their family and her cousin.

 “I, I, I didn't mean that, I don't know that you actually...”

Lissandra became at a loss for a moment.

She hadn't seen her old classmate Tia for many years, and she didn't know that Tia was actually jealous of the princess because she liked her cousin Lei Mingqing.

She knew how to deal with demons like the princess, who were weak on the outside but strong on the inside. But when she suddenly faced a woman like Tia, who was tough on the outside but fragile on the inside, she felt like everything she said was out of place.

 Just when Lisandra was panicking.

 “Miss, do you need help?”

A calm and gentle voice sounded behind them.

 The table next to them was still the same male devil. His horns seemed to be white jade-like exoskeletons, glowing faintly.

 In the demon world, there are very few demons with light attributes, or demons as beautiful as him, especially with his emerald green eyes.

　　Looking carefully, I realized that there was a short girl sitting next to him, sleeping on his arm.

 So he remained motionless.

Now that the little girl was asleep, he finally gently put her on the sofa and let her lie down on the sofa to sleep peacefully.
