Chapter 250 Demon Race Executives: Find Nicholas! If You Want To See People Alive, You Want To See T
Chapter 250: Demon Race High-level: Find Nicholas! Dead or alive! (5000 words)
The influence of the novel is growing, causing a sensation.
"Who is this Nicholas Xiu? The book he wrote is truly amazing!"
"It's so passionate, it keeps my heart racing. I can't calm down, I want to fight!"
"I'm so envious. The protagonist in this book always has adventures, defeating the strong with the weak. Even the strongest opponents can be overturned!"
"..."
Many people gathered together to discuss, whispering and fantasizing about being the protagonist in the book.
...
The news spread to the surrounding cities.
Many book merchants who were also in the business of selling novels rushed to San Yuan City from all directions to find the owner of Hui Meng Zhai and try to contact the mysterious Nicholas Xiu.
Because this person is too mysterious, no one has seen his true appearance so far.
The only person who has had contact with him is the owner of Hui Meng Zhai.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I know very little about that Mr. Nicholas!" sighed the owner of Hui Meng Zhai.
"Mr.?" A Demon Race bookseller raised an eyebrow, catching the key words. Everyone frowned and exchanged glances. This meant that Nicholas was at least a pure-blooded Demon Race with extraordinary bloodline.
There are only three pure-blooded clans in San Yuan City, so it's easy to make associations.
"You all misunderstood. Although I don't know his true identity, I can be sure that he is not from the three major clans of San Yuan City!" The owner of Hui Meng Zhai said with certainty. Although they had met only a few times, the physical characteristics of the other party were different from those of the three major clans.
Bloodline is of utmost importance to the Demon Race, especially pure-blooded individuals. Their racial characteristics are considered a glory. They may hide them, but they will never change them.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces filled with worry. The clue was lost again.
However, the next moment, the owner of Hui Meng Zhai said, "Although we can't contact that gentleman for now, he did say that if anyone else wants to publish his books, they are all allowed!"
"Is that true?" Everyone got excited and quickly asked. They came for this purpose.
"It's true! However, in terms of profits, you can only take forty percent!" The owner of Hui Meng Zhai narrowed his eyes and smiled, showing his true merchant nature.
In the industry, the rule is that novel authors and book merchants split all profits equally, fifty-fifty.
But Nicholas had made it clear that he would handle all negotiations with other book merchants, and the extra ten percent would go to him.
Don't underestimate that ten percent.
With the current popularity of his works, that ten percent is a astronomical figure, far surpassing the profits brought by all the other books in his bookstore combined.
"Deal!"
Without much hesitation, everyone unanimously agreed.
They were not fools. Even if the owner of Hui Meng Zhai deliberately deceived them, using this ten percent profit to obtain the right to publish and sell Nicholas Xiu's works was definitely a huge profit.
...
In the following days, the sensation grew even stronger.
Nicholas' works appeared in all the surrounding cities.
The diverse and exciting stories instantly attracted countless Demon Race individuals, not only the lower-level demons, but even the idle pure-blooded young masters and young ladies were deeply attracted.
Almost everyone was discussing it.
"Who is this Nicholas? I've never heard of him before!"
"Anyone who can write such novels is definitely not an ordinary person!"
"I heard he is very mysterious. Many people want to find him, but it's difficult to even meet him!"
"..."
Gradually, the discussion about the novels shifted to focus on Nicholas himself.
Everyone was curious about what kind of person he was.
"I have always admired talented demons. If anyone can provide me with information about this Mr. Nicholas, the Yu Demon Race will reward generously!"
At a grand banquet, the fourth young master of the Yu Demon Race said this in front of countless people.
The Yu Demon Race is a major clan.
Even among the pure-blooded Demon Race, they are an extremely powerful presence with a terrifying background. True demons appeared in the distant past, but they weakened later on. However, their influence is still quite formidable.
The fourth young master is highly regarded among the younger generation of the clan and has a strong voice.
As soon as he said this, countless demons joined the search for Nicholas, all for the sake of the rewards offered by the fourth young master.
Coincidentally, in another major clan, the Yuan Demon Race, the thirteenth young lady, who is usually arrogant and domineering, publicly declared, "This Nicholas is indeed talented. It's a pity that he has fallen into the mortal world! Find him and bring him back! I want him to write only for me for the rest of his life!"
This act was indeed domineering, but the rewards offered by the Yuan Demon Race were equally generous, making it impossible for anyone to refuse.
In addition to these, many similar incidents occurred.
There are too many people looking for Nicholas!
Some simply like his works, while others want to possess him. Many value his ability to make money. Every one of his works is popular and profitable, making some ancient families envious.
For a while, Sea Demon Island was caught in a frenzy of searching for Nicholas.
San Yuan City became the top priority for various forces to search.
But strangely, half a month passed and there was no progress.
That person appeared out of thin air and disappeared just as mysteriously.
There was absolutely no trace to be found.
...
"This Nicholas is incredible. With so many people and so many days... we haven't found a single trace! It's as if this person doesn't exist at all..."
"I heard that the Thirteen Miss of the Yuan Demon Race is furious and has killed many people. Many attendants and guards have suffered. If there is no movement soon, more people will likely perish!"
"The Yuan Demon Race is truly ruthless. I heard that the chief guard who has always been loyal to her was directly dismembered because of this incident, and his subordinates were ordered to eat him. They have also ordered to capture Nicholas, dead or alive!"
In a certain tavern, there were demons whispering in low voices, expressing their disapproval.
"Not only that, these people are searching everywhere, asking everyone. If they don't get the information they want, they kill directly!"
"I heard that many demons have already died! Those lackeys of the pure-blooded families, oppressed by their masters, are taking it out on us!"
"..."
There were also demons filled with grief and anger, as their loved ones died at the hands of the lackeys of those pure-blooded families.
"It's really unnecessary. Why bother? Nicholas didn't do anything wrong. He just wrote some scripts and now he's being hunted like this. I don't know if we'll have such excellent scripts to read in the future."
"What are you thinking? With such intensity of the search, if Nicholas doesn't want to be captured and kept as a plaything by those pure-blooded nobles, he definitely won't show up again!"
"This is simply too much..."
The demons were filled with indignation, both for their own regret of not being able to see such works in the future and for Nicholas.
He didn't do anything wrong, yet he was treated like this.
An unnamed anger rose from the depths of their hearts as they recalled their past interactions with the pure-blooded Demon Race and remembered the oppressed days, becoming more and more resentful.
"Those pure-blooded nobles have always been like this. When have they ever treated us, the different demons, as equals? It's just because they were born into privilege..."
"The tide rises and falls. Don't underestimate the poor youth!"
"Hush, keep your voice down!"
Finally, someone realized and reminded them to lower their voices.
If someone hears it, it will definitely bring trouble and may even lead to fatal consequences.
However, although the voice has been suppressed, the anger and desire for release in their hearts are difficult to dissipate. Their eyes are filled with sharpness, different from the numbness and turbidity of the past, and thoughts of resistance linger in their minds.
Obviously, they are not aware of it.
In the past, they would never dare to have such thoughts, let alone speak such words.
Now, they are different.
...
Due to the lack of results for a long time.
The Demon Race who were ordered to hunt felt immense pressure, and their bloody actions became more and more frequent, causing panic among the people.
San Yuan City was hit the hardest.
Countless demons died in vain.
However, no one expected that at this time... Nicholas would actually dare to show up!
"At midnight tonight, a new book will be released. Prepare your money and meet at the usual place for the transaction!"
Looking at the note that appeared silently on his desk, the owner of the Dream Return Pavilion turned pale and trembled all over.
In the past, he longed for Nicholas to come because he was his god of wealth.
But now, the god of wealth has become the living Yama, and he can't avoid it.
Shua!
The cold blade shot out, hovering at the boss of Huimeng Zhai's brow, scaring him into a cold sweat, his pupils shrinking.
A figure slowly stepped in, wearing scale armor, humanoid in shape, with three tails behind him like steel whips, with barbs at the ends, extremely sharp, emitting a cold and evil aura all over.
A pair of inverted triangular pupils were filled with chilling murderous intent.
Wherever he went, it was like a forbidden zone, and no one dared to approach.
"Where is he?" The humanoid Demon Race's voice was as cold as ice, chilling to the bone.
"I don't know, I really don't know, I haven't seen him, I... I don't know when he appeared! Lord Yinye, please believe me!" The boss of Huimeng Zhai was extremely frightened and panicked.
Pa!
With a crisp sound, the whip-like tail blade lashed down, shattering the void.
The boss of Huimeng Zhai was whipped away, with half of his body torn and broken, blood and flesh blurred, emitting a miserable scream.
"Give you one last chance, where is he?" Yinye's voice was cold and filled with killing intent.
He was a member of the Yuan Demon Race, the chief guard of Miss Thirteen. The previous chief guard fell on this mission, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
"I really have no idea!!" The boss of the Dream Return Pavilion replied in despair, his voice hoarse and exhausted, feeling deeply wronged.
Yin Ye stopped speaking, his heart overflowing with killing intent. The slender tail blade moved through the air like a spirit snake, ready to tear the boss of the Dream Return Pavilion apart.
"Hehehe, why be so anxious?"
Just then, a figure appeared at the door. She was slender, curvaceous, extremely seductive, and dressed provocatively, causing people's blood to surge.
She had the face of a human woman, incredibly enchanting, but her lower body was that of a snake.
She appeared incredibly fragile.
But it made Yin Ye's pupils contract, sensing a very dangerous aura, and quickly stopped his actions.
"Since Nicholas said he would come tonight to trade, why don't we wait until tonight?" The half-human, half-snake woman approached, twisting her body seductively. Although she was smiling, her eyes revealed a chilling light.
She was clearly someone who wouldn't spare anyone.
"Do you think he dares to come?" Yin Ye said coldly.
"If he dares to show up at this time, he must have something to rely on. Even if he really dares to come, who knows?" the woman said.
"What if he doesn't come?"
"You kill this person, and no one will trade with him. Then he really won't come!"
"..." Yin Ye fell silent.
"This is true. Since we can't find him no matter how hard we search, we might as well take a gamble!"
"Right!"
Just as they hesitated, several figures appeared again, emitting powerful auras. Wherever they went, the demons scattered. They were all powerful members of the various pure-blooded families who had been ordered to search for Nicholas.
They gathered in this small Dream Return Pavilion.
After searching for so long without any clues, now that the other party had taken the initiative to show up, they all rushed over immediately.
...
The night was as deep as water.
The Dream Return Pavilion was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
Powerful individuals from all sides hid in the shadows, closely monitoring all movements around them.
In addition to this, there were also many figures lurking in the surrounding streets, keeping an eye on this place.
This disturbance had been going on for a long time.
Too many people wanted to see how tonight would end.
"Will he come?"
"Hard to say!"
"All the major pure-blooded families are here, setting up a trap. There are formations everywhere, unless a Lord-level powerhouse comes, others... no matter how strong they are, it will be difficult to escape!"
"..."
In secret, countless people whispered to each other.
Time passed bit by bit.
There was still no movement.
"Is this guy playing with us?" Yin Ye narrowed his eyes in the darkness, his killing intent filling the air.
He had reason to suspect that this was a provocation, as well as a mockery.
The other powerful individuals remained silent, but their faces were gloomy, clearly having similar thoughts.
"Ah--"
A scream broke the silence of the night.
"Something's happened!" Everyone was startled.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, countless figures tore through the void and arrived at the Dream Return Pavilion.
They saw the boss of the Dream Return Pavilion lying in the corner like he had seen a ghost, pointing at the table and trembling, "Book... book!"
Everyone looked closely.
On the table, a book had appeared at some point.
"Legacy Chronicles" - Nicholas Xiu!
"Where is he?" Yin Ye's eyes were about to burst, using his tail blade to lift the boss of the Dream Return Pavilion into the air, his killing intent boiling.
"No... no one! It just appeared out of thin air!" The boss of the Dream Return Pavilion struggled to catch his breath and said with difficulty.
"Impossible!" Yin Ye's voice was icy, finding it hard to believe.
Countless killing formations had been set up here. Even if a Lord-level powerhouse could come and go freely, it was impossible for there to be no trace at all.
In addition, the magic crystals that the boss of the Dream Return Pavilion had prepared and placed on the table had also disappeared.
The other Demon Race powerhouses also had ugly expressions.
Someone had come and gone right under their noses, yet they hadn't noticed any trace.
This is a severe blow to their faces!
The commotion here quickly spread, and before long... almost everyone knew that Nicholas had been here, put down the book, and took the money!
But he wasn't discovered by anyone!
"Hiss, this is too strange!"
"Could it be a Demon Emperor?" someone exclaimed, feeling that only an existence of this level could achieve this under such heavy blockade.
"How is that possible?" most people didn't believe it. How could a Demon Emperor, who was so high and mighty, stoop down to write a book like this?
What's more, if it really was a Demon Emperor, would they allow these pure-blooded families to capture him like they were catching a criminal?
Wouldn't they have killed him long ago, causing blood to flow like a river?
It's incomprehensible, completely incomprehensible!
The powerful Demon Race figures present racked their brains but couldn't figure out how that person had done it!
"There is only one possibility," Yin Ye's gaze turned cold as he stared at the owner of the Dream Return Pavilion, "You are Nicholas!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could I be?" The owner of the Dream Return Pavilion was scared out of his wits.
But Yin Ye insisted, wanting to take down the owner of the Dream Return Pavilion and bring back the body to report.
Of course, he knew that the owner couldn't be Nicholas.
But his young miss had a hot temper and had given the order to see the person alive or see the corpse.
Now that he couldn't find the real Nicholas, he couldn't explain when he went back. He was afraid of following in the footsteps of his predecessor.
It would be better to bring back a corpse.
But he was stopped by the other powerful Demon Race figures.
"There is another possibility. He might have already been here in the Dream Return Pavilion before we arrived!" a half-human, half-snake woman analyzed, implying that Nicholas might be a servant in the study.
"We can't rule out that possibility!" everyone quickly agreed.
They didn't want to end up like Yin Ye, bringing back a corpse to deceive their own masters. After all, their requirements were different, they all wanted the person alive!
And they had to be able to write books!
"So he must still be in the Dream Return Pavilion, let's search!"
The demons dispersed, using all means necessary, even digging three feet into the ground, to find the person.
The Dream Return Pavilion suffered, everything was destroyed, and the house collapsed.
But a whole night passed.
Yet they had no harvest at all.
Until it was bright outside.
Everyone retreated.
Leaving behind a desolate ruin.
Countless demons gathered in front of the ruins, looking at this scene, feeling endless sorrow and sighs.
It was truly a disaster that came out of nowhere.
"I heard that last night, Nicholas delivered a new book to the bookstore!"
"Yes, these guys couldn't catch him, so they wanted to bring back the book to report. As a result, they fought over it, and in the end, the book was torn apart!"
"What a waste!" More and more demons gathered here, feeling heartbroken.
Nicholas's new work, who knows how amazing it is, unexpectedly suffered such a calamity before it even came out.
In the crowd.
Xiangshan, dressed in a purple robe, listened to the discussions around him without saying a word, standing there for a long time.
He was about to turn and leave when he suddenly noticed a page of a book under his foot.
He slowly squatted down and picked up the page, the writing on it was already very blurry, and he could only vaguely see a sentence: "Before becoming a demon, look back at the mortal world and don't become a god!"
Boom!
In an instant, Xiangshan's heart was struck by a heavy hammer, unimaginably shocked.
In just that moment, he could be sure that this must be Nicholas's handwriting.
Only he could write such words.
Something in his heart was awakened, a voice urging him to keep searching in the ruins, looking for other fragments.
He became almost crazy in his persistence.
Attracted the attention of the people around him.
"Isn't this the Ninth Prince of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan? What's wrong with him?"
"Why is he acting like he's gone mad?"
"I heard that he also loves to read Nicholas's works. Could it be that he can't accept the blow?"
"Poor guy..."
"Heh, the prince of a pure-blooded family, do you think we should pity him? Let's go quickly, so as not to anger the prince and be killed in his rage!" In the crowd, a demon sneered.
As soon as these words came out, many people were frightened and quickly dispersed.
Similar incidents had happened quite a few times these days, and they didn't want to become one of them.
