'What, don't believe it?' Do you want me to repeat everything you've done along the way? Let me think about where to start...'

'No, no, can't I believe it?' I hurriedly interrupted Antonla.

'Actually, I don't doubt that you can follow us all the way, but I'm just a little surprised, why are you doing this?'

"Actually, it's a long story...", Antonla's words couldn't help but reveal a little emotion in his tone.

'About my past, you must also know that in short, I have been hunted down by humans since I can remember, this kind of day has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is true that with my current strength, I am fearless no matter what kind of strong enemy I face, but I will eventually get old, and one day my physical strength will decline, and my brain will be dull, and then maybe a second- or third-rate small character can put me to death, this is not only me, but also the fate of the entire dragon clan for a long time, which makes me very unwilling, So I began to look for a way to solve the problem once and for all, of course, it was not easy, it took me nearly a hundred years of time, and the result was still in vain, just when I was about to give up, I suddenly heard that there was a human magician named Houdini who tried to resurrect the demon king, at that time I thought this kid must be crazy, I don't know how many demons have tried to do this for thousands of years and the result was in vain, not to mention that he was just a human, at that time I found this Houdini out of curiosity, Originally, I just wanted to see what he could do, but I didn't expect this kid's progress to be far beyond my expectations, he not only found one of the legendary seven Horcruxes, but also released the soul of the demon king in it, if it weren't for the timely arrival of a large number of people from the Holy See, he would almost have succeeded.'

'Wait, so you were there during that big battle!'

"Yes, but I just hid from a distance and watched, and I didn't show up, and that battle still makes me feel thrilling when I recall it now..."Antonla couldn't help but show a feeling of reluctance when he said this, and it shows how fierce the fierce battle was to make an evil dragon still show such an expression after twenty years.

"I've always wondered why Houdini wanted to resurrect the Demon King in the first place, and what did he want?"

'Well, didn't you inherit the memory of the Demon King? How could you not know this?' Anton La looked a little surprised.

"The problem is that I only know until before he was sealed, and I have no memory of the guy after he woke up."

"Oh, that's interesting, probably because you only have one-seventh of the Demon King's soul in you, which isn't quite enough... In fact, it is really ridiculous to talk about Houdini's motives in the first place, just to bring his wife and children back from the dead..."

'What!?' I was stunned for a moment, a little not quite believing my ears.

'Unbelievable, right? In fact, I also thought it was nonsense at the beginning, a top magician in the human world, spent countless manpower and material resources, and even did not hesitate to plunge the whole world into destruction, in order to just want to save his wife and children, if you want to say that it is to pursue the ultimate truth of the world, I can accept it better, but the reason is as simple as that, as far as I know, Houdini's wife died because of difficult childbirth, and before he died, he asked his husband to take good care of his son no matter what, Houdini loved his wife very much, and agreed to her request with tears at that time, Not only did he say that, but he did it, and then he did everything he could to take care of his son, the little boy named Jonny, kind and intelligent, looked a lot like his own deceased mother, so I sometimes think that Houdini probably saw it as a continuation of his wife's life, but fate seemed to deliberately play tricks on this poor man, little Jonny was a child who was fine, but he was born frail and sickly, and had to spend most of his short life in a hospital bed, For this reason, Houdini was so anxious, he tried all kinds of ways to cure Johnny, for which he even did not hesitate to resort to black magic, but in the end it was to no avail, Johnny only lived to be ten years old, it is said that Houdini threw himself in front of his son's bed and cried for a whole day, what is the greatest magician in the human world, in the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, he found himself as powerless as an ant, this incident hit Houdini very hard, thinking of the early death of his wife, Houdini began to hate this constantly playing tricks on his fate, and recently became worldly. Since the world has forsaken me, then I will forsake this world!' This is his original words, oh, I overheard it with my own ears back then, in short, after that, Houdini was completely crazy, he began to try to bring his wife and children back from the dead, for this can be said to do everything, even at the expense of the living to summon demons, damn he seems to have succeeded, I don't know which demon who is afraid of the world will not be chaotic told him that life and death are the laws of the world, neither angels nor demons can change, except...'

'The gods and the demon kings...' I said, my heart full of mixed feelings.

Antona smiled knowingly, and then said: "Then things are simple, Houdini began to go crazy looking for a way to resurrect the demon king, I must admit that although this guy is too sentimental in some aspects, he is indeed one of the few excellent wizards in the human world, after more than ten years of hard work, he actually did it, when the soul of the demon king finally appeared in front of him, that guy actually cried with joy, and looked completely like a child.'

"But the Demon King probably won't simply agree to his request..."

'Yo, didn't you say you don't remember what happened after the Demon King woke up? How do you know this?' Antonla curious.

I don't really remember what happened, but I know 'that guy'..."I couldn't help but subconsciously look at my chest, which was the location of the 'Forbidden Seal'.

'It will never miss an opportunity to torture others...'

Antonla looked at me with a hint of sympathy in her eyes: 'You've been miserable all these years, haven't you?'

'It's okay.' I smiled bitterly, and I couldn't tell what it was like.

'By the way, what happened then?' After a moment of silence, I was the first to break the peace.

Anton La sighed when he heard this: 'What else? The Demon King didn't intend to agree to Houdini's request at all, but instead incited him to destroy the world with him, Houdini was of course very angry, and the two sides quarreled like this, that is, at that time, the people of the Holy See arrived... You probably know what happened after that, so I don't think I need to recount it, right?'

'So you've been following me since then?'

'No, at first Eroth took Anna... That is, when your titular mother escaped, I did chase after me, but unfortunately I lost it in the end, and then I heard that Anna died in childbirth, and you and El Rose have been missing since then, life and death are uncertain, these years I have tried every means to search for your whereabouts like other factions, but unfortunately all in vain, until about four or five years ago, the rumors of the resurrection of the demon king began to rise, at first I thought someone had unlocked your seal, so I followed the relevant clues to investigate, Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered a huge conspiracy.'
