"What did you just say to wake up the Demon King, what is going on? Isn't the Demon King resurrected?" Ellie was surprised.

"Strictly speaking, a seventh resurrection ... Uhh

"One in seven? Wait, I don't understand what you're saying."

"Hehe, do you know the "starting point war"?

"Of course, at the beginning of the birth of the world, the gods and demons fought for control of this world and launched a protracted battle, because the later gods and demons were born one after another in this war, so it can also be said that the starting point of the entire history, so later generations called this war "starting point war."

"Well, that's right."

"Of course, Miss Ben grew up in the church anyway, and is very familiar with these things." Ellie couldn't help but feel smug when she heard this.

"Do you know the final outcome of that war?" Hans asked.

"Joke, this even the children who can just talk know that in the end the gods won and captured the demon king alive, because the demon king is immortal and cannot be destroyed, so the gods had to seal its soul, and of course the demon king is extremely unwilling to do so, so it vows to come back one day and completely destroy the world. And this is the origin of the "apocalyptic prophecy", in the past, I thought it was just a nonsense story of adults scaring children, but I didn't expect to be caught up by us..."Ellie couldn't help but sigh softly when she said this.

Hans nodded: "That's right, what you just said is the Holy See's description of this matter, and it is also the version that most people in the world know today, but in fact, the Holy See deliberately concealed some of the details, in fact, when the gods sealed the Demon King, they deliberately divided its soul into seven parts, and sealed it in seven different places, so that no matter which one of them is resurrected, its power is only one-seventh of the original Demon King, and then the Heavenly Realm will be much easier to deal with. In the years that followed, the demons and those dissatisfied with the gods have been looking for these seven Horcruxes that sealed the demon king, and tried to open them, but most of the results were in vain, until twenty years ago, the best magician in the human world at that time, Houdini, found and opened one of the seven Horcruxes for some reason, which is now known to the world as the "Demon King's Highness", under its leadership, this dirty and decaying world began to collapse rapidly, but as I said before, Because the soul is not yet complete, so now it is not able to exert the true power of the demon king, so we believers will try their best to help it find the rest of the six Horcruxes, the hard work pays off, after months of adult searching, we finally found the location of one of the Horcruxes, but in order to break the seal, open the Horcruxes must go through a series of rituals, which requires the use of the sun mirror in your hand, but since Houdini woke up the demon king twenty years ago, the whereabouts of the mirror are unknown, For this reason, it took us several years of effort to find out that this mirror actually fell into the hands of the thief of Lupin III, originally we could have taken it ourselves, but the trouble is that at this time, the Holy See has also noticed this matter, and sent the "Templars" to start chasing us, in order to avoid the matter being exposed, we have to use you, the little thief, originally thought that everything we did was unaware, unaware, but in the end they found out..."

Ellie obviously didn't expect the mirror she stole to be of such great value, and looked at me suspiciously for a moment, and I could only nod helplessly.

"Damn it!" Ellie couldn't help but pat her head with remorse.

"Forget it, you didn't mean not to blame yourself too much...", I hurriedly comforted me when I saw this, but Lovely Li's words later were completely unexpected.

"If I knew this mirror was so valuable, I should have opened it higher!"

"It's not... Did you understand what you just said? They want this mirror to resurrect the Demon King!?"

"You know, so what?"

"Then the whole human world will be finished! Even you and your orphanage are not immune! Don't you understand!?" I can't help but be anxious, does this girl have a long brain!?

"Understood, but since it has been said that everyone will not escape, then it is fair for everyone to die together, it is better than us poor people starving and cold, and those rich people getting drunk and dreaming of death, right? Besides, do you think these guys will succeed with this mirror?"

"This..."In the face of Ellie's rhetorical question, I couldn't help but be speechless for a moment... This girl's ideas are sometimes really weird, and you can't find fault with her for a while.

"But—" Just as I was stunned, Ellie suddenly turned her head to Hans's side.

"Does it really matter if you tell us so much? What if we report this to the Templars?"

"It's fine, because you don't have that chance."

Ellie and I were stunned when we heard what he said, and before we could ask, we heard a "loud noise", and then the whole hull began to shake violently.

"Enemy attack, there is enemy attack!" Soon there was chaos on the deck, followed by explosions and shouts of killing, and before we could react to what was going on, the hatch opened, and the two "Templars" who were in charge of guarding us came to us with their blades.

"Get up!" One of them grabbed Hans's hand and pulled him up, the sword in his hand aimed at his heart, I don't know if it was because of the suddenness of the incident, or if this kid hadn't killed anyone at all, the sword trembled violently in mid-air.

"Do you really want to do this? He's an important offender." At this time, the other "Templar" on the side couldn't help but speak, and it was clear that he was also nervous.

"You have also seen the situation above, the ship can't hold it no matter what, rather than letting this kid be rescued by his accomplices, it is better to correct him on the spot!" After listening to the conversation between the two, we roughly understood that it was Hans's accomplices who came to rescue him, and since Princess Scarlett and other fresh forces were not on the ship, these guys seemed to be a little overwhelmed, so they wanted to kill Hans to prevent him from returning to their accomplices.

However, at this time, Hans seemed to have no fear, and sneered at the other party: "Oh, do you think you can kill me?"

"Why not?" As soon as the other party's words came out, suddenly the whole person's expression changed greatly, as if he saw something incredible, and then he saw a thin blood mark suddenly appear on his neck, at first it looked as if he had been disturbed by small animals such as cats and dogs, but soon blood gushed out of it.

"Dangchang!" The sword landed, the man covered his neck with his hands and took a few steps back, his face was full of surprise and panic, his companion saw this and hurried forward to help, but it was too late, and it was not long before the man fell to the ground, convulsed a few times and died, and blood soon flowed all over his body.
