Chapter 749 Exceptional promotion!
Seeing that Mrs. Octopus agreed, Lu Li did not come down from the bronze table.
He sat cross-legged next to Evelina and told her experiences slowly and leisurely.
It started when he joined the Overlord Army under a false identity in order to escape the Chen family's killing.
Go to the demon's lair that was blown up in Howling Canyon and enter the interior of the demon realm.
Finally, we broke through the Ancient Basin and successfully completed the Road of Pain.
In the description, Lu Li naturally wouldn't really reveal everything.
Several important details of the encounter with the spirits were intentionally omitted, and the general process was described to Madam Octopus.
Anyway, all he had to do was prove his legitimate status as a member of the Overlord Army.
As for Evelina,
After Madam Octopus heard that she was Lu Li's slave and checked the relevant slave contract, she completely declared that she was free from the threat of death.
So when Lu Li was telling the second half,
This overly relaxed succubus lady was even ready to chew some snacks like popcorn to pass the time.
"Anyway, this is the situation." Lu Li finished his story and spread his hands:
"The reason why I suddenly appeared here was that I was afraid that if I left the Ancient Basin directly, I would be besieged by demons. Plus, I was lucky enough to run into the blue-clothed merchant."
Mrs. Octopus was already sitting at the head of the bronze table, listening to the young man's words, and she replied very naturally:
"So, in order to escape from the predicament, and fearing that the target location you chose was too close and would be caught by the demons, you simply decided to go all out and directly set your escape destination at the Parliament Court of the Overlord Planet?"
Lu Li was slightly surprised and nodded in acknowledgment.
He really thought so.
After all, he had never caused such a big trouble in the Demon Realm in his previous life.
He was really worried that the blue-clothed traveling merchant would throw him too close, and the demons guarding the entrance to the basin would quickly catch up with him.
If you are unlucky, the devil might even join your pursuers!
If he doesn't run to a safer area with stronger strength, he might as well continue to stay in the ancient basin.
When Mrs. Octopus saw Lu Li nodded in agreement, the smile on her ugly face grew even wider.
She commented calmly:
"You are really brave..."
"If the demons planted a secret mark on you and tracked you down, you would be exposing the coordinates of the Parliament's royal court."
"If that's the case, it would be an unforgivable sin, and even ten rounds of burning with white phosphorus would not be enough to wash it away."
Lu Li's heart sank, and he felt that something terrible was about to happen.
After a moment's silence, he said:
"But now, it seems that no demons are following my trail."
"My experience in the Demon Realm this time is most likely faultless and must have been meritorious."
"I believe that Madam Octopus, as the Lord of the Neptune Region, will be able to see clearly and distinguish everything."
Seeing that Lu Li handled the situation well, Mrs. Octopus slowly put away the smile on her face.
But the yellow-brown crescent-shaped pupils revealed an even stronger desire!
That was the desire to take Lu Li for himself and keep him as his own!
Like jackals, tigers and leopards, full of aggressiveness!
Such a perfect goal to conquer!
There was a slippery sound of tentacles entwining and rubbing against each other under Mrs. Octopus' skirt.
After a pause, she suddenly changed the subject and became relaxed and cheerful:
"You make a lot of sense, sweetheart!"
"Not only do you have merits, but your merits are huge!"
"You can apply to the parliament right now and be promoted directly to the Golden Boot winner. I will be here to approve it on the spot."
Hearing this, Lu Li didn't react much.
But it caused an uproar among the parliament members sitting around the long bronze table!
"Directly upgrade to Golden Boots? Are you sure, Mrs. Octopus?!"
"Yes, he is just a newcomer who has just joined the Overlord Army. He is not even a Black Iron Warrior..."
"According to the tradition of the Overlord Army, for newcomers who have just joined the Overlord Army, only a small portion of the merits they gain in their first battle will be accumulated to them personally."
"I think it can be upgraded to Silver Boot, but if it is upgraded to Golden Boot directly, I am afraid it is not appropriate."
"What if he's lying? There are only a few Golden Boots left in the Demon Realm, let alone going deep into the Demon City to take a look at the ancient basin."
"How can one be promoted so hastily without confirmation of merit?"
"That's right, this matter still needs to be considered from many aspects..."
Madame Octopus listened patiently as the members of the House of Representatives expressed their opinions.
After the voice disappeared, she slowly put down the thick arm that was supporting her left face, and said in a playful tone:
"That makes sense. How about the position of Star Domain Overlord be taken up by everyone present?"
As soon as the words fell, the whole place fell silent.
The members of the parliament seemed stunned, and the same expression of regret quickly appeared on their faces.
The relationship between the Overlord Council and the Star Domain Overlord is not like that between the Demon King and the Elder Council.
Strictly speaking, the latter are two forces.
If they really get angry, they can target each other.
But the Overlord Council is a subordinate office of the Star Domain Overlord.
Even if they unite, they are not enough to defeat the star domain overlord with a slap!
The underlying principle is that power is equally divided, and all members of the Overlord Council have the right to vote on special events.
But the principle is now in the hands of Mrs. Octopus!
Not convinced?
Duel!
Madam Octopus glanced at the silent members of the parliament, and a satisfied smile appeared on her ugly face.
But she didn't mean to be arbitrary.
He just pointed out everyone's position first, and then slowly explained:
“The merits of the ancient basin do require time to verify.”
"But it's not that that made Lu Li get promoted to the Golden Boot."
"The parasitic demon tide he blew up in the Howling Canyon indirectly prevented the outbreak of the demon tide and bought us precious breathing time. This is a credit."
"And another credit goes to the succubus servant he brought out, Evelina."
Miss Succubus was tearing the potato chip bag when she suddenly heard Mrs. Octopus calling her name. She pointed at herself in confusion:
"what?"
"I am another credit?!"
"That's right." Mrs. Octopus said slowly:
"Lu Li has brought us a brand new idea to fight against the erosion of demonic energy this time."
"As long as we select a group of high-level warriors who are willing to sign slave contracts with low-level players, we may be able to forcibly attack the Demon Realm while preserving all our combat power!"
Will high-level warriors sign slave contracts with low-level players?
All the members of the parliament were stunned, and then looked thoughtful.
At first glance, this approach seems outrageous.
High-level generals are submitting to low-level players. Isn't this absolutely against the will of Heaven?
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that although the method was a bit outrageous, it did seem to be able to solve the current predicament faced by the Overlord Army.
High-level generals can be demonized while retaining their sanity, or even become demon princes. This will only increase the overall strength of the Overlord Army, not decrease it.
But the demon god needs to allocate some of his power to the 'enemy'.
After this back and forth, the difference in combat power is not a little bit after rounding off!
Almost 100 million!
