Chapter 435: Artaurus Meets His Little Sister
Balmond stared at the coarse piece of parchment paper in his hands and began scrutinizing it with an earnest look. There were only a few characters depicted on the parchment paper, but Balmond felt that he was reading an entire book filled with profound knowledge! The more he read, the more solemn his expression had become!
Standing beside Balmond, Artaurus was slightly speechless when he saw the alternating expressions of his father. Why did his father react that way after receiving that piece of ugly parchment?
"Father, what did that girl give you? Is that a treasure map?" Artaurus asked quietly as he took a peek at the words written on the piece of parchment paper. However, when he saw those odd-looking patterns, he was stunned. He felt that a wave of alien knowledge had suddenly entered his mind. This process took more than an hour before Artaurus finally snapped out of his daze. A look of bafflement covered his face.
Balmond kept the parchment paper inside his space ring and sighed. "Do you know now? This was written by Wine Master Jiu Shen himself. I don\'t know how he was able to write such profound characters, but I do know the value of this piece of parchment. You should have an idea about it since you\'ve read it yourself..."
Artaurus was still in shock after comprehending the characters, so he could only nod his head. Even if was yet to know the details about his own physique, he was able to glean a bit of detail about it after just an hour of looking at the characters. This piece of parchment paper was very valuable! It could actually transmit a foreign knowledge to someone without the need for complicated teachings! Even an idiot would be able to understand it after taking a look at those magical symbols!
"Father, I think I want to take him as my master..." Artaurus muttered while looking at Balmond. He finally realized why his father was so respectful to this human! This guy was a powerful figure! So powerful that he could casually write profound characters that can transmit knowledge to anyone!
Balmond sneered upon hearing his son\'s words. "Do you think he would casually take you as his disciple? Go ahead. I won\'t stop you, but don\'t expect too much. You might as well help your sister prepare for war. Our Bloodfallen Family is in danger at this moment."
Hearing that, Artaurus frowned. War? Wait, sister? He had a sister? That Wine Master Jiu Shen also told him that he looked like his sister. What was her name again? Was it Cornelia?
Since he had been locked up for thousands of years inside a hidden dungeon, he had no idea about the current state of their Great Demon Empire.
"Father, please tell me what happened to the empire while I was locked up inside the dungeon..." Artaurus said while looking at Balmond.
"You remember the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family? They..." Balmond proceeded to tell Artaurus everything and it took the Demon Emperor another hour to inform Artaurus about what took place when he was gone.
"So I actually have a little sister who is now at the late stage of the Nascent God Realm. This is making me her big brother feel a bit pressured." Artaurus smiled.
After getting the help of Jiu Shen\'s Soul Stabilizing Array Formation, he was yet to recover his full strength. However, he felt that he would soon reach his peak state after resting for a bit. He even felt that the Array Formation had somehow enhanced his physical body! Although he could only be sure once he recovered fully.
"Let\'s go back to the palace. I\'ll bring you to meet Cornelia." Balmond said while patting his son\'s shoulder.
The Demon Emperor then brought his son to Cornelia\'s temporary army camp. This was where the elites of their Great Demon Empire\'s army were stationed. Some of Jiu Shen\'s subordinates were even here to support the succubus.
When Balmond and Artaurus arrived in the army camp, the soldiers who saw the emperor immediately greeted him.
"Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The soldiers also turned their curious gazes towards the demon who was standing beside Balmond. Although he appeared to be emaciated and his aura was unstable, he had a noble bearing. Who was this guy? They all thought.
The arrival of the emperor in the army camp soon reached Cornelia\'s ears. She immediately went to greet her father and she was surprised when she saw an unfamiliar demon standing beside him. She could also sense the unusual closeness between the two. Who could this guy be? She wondered.
"Greetings, Emperor Father." Cornelia greeted her father with a smile. She then turned her gaze towards the demon beside Balmond and said.
"And this is?"
Balmond smiled and answered her query. "This Artaurus. Prince Artaurus Bloodfallen, your big brother. He has now recovered with the help of Wine Master Jiu Shen."
Prince Artaurus Bloodfallen?!
Cornelia\'s eyes widened when she heard her father\'s words. She couldn\'t help but take a few more looks at the sickly-looking demon who was also looking at her with curiosity.
"Hello, little sister." Artaurus greeted his sister. His sister\'s temperament and looks made him nod his head in acknowledgment. According to his father, Cornelia would be crowned as the next ruler of the Great Demon Empire.
At first, he was against it, but when he heard that it was Jiu Shen\'s arrangements, Artaurus decided to observe his sister first before he would give his opinion.
And now that he\'d seen her, his first impression of her was that she had an elegant temperament befitting her noble bloodline. Artaurus also felt the confidence in her voice as she spoke. It was as if the word confidence was engraved in her bones.
Cornelia smiled at Artaurus and she also looked at him with a hint of pity when she saw his pale face. From the looks of it, her big brother had just recovered from his \'illness\', and he was still a bit weak.
"Greetings, big brother...."
