Chapter 105: The Nature of Weakness
You know, although Beria is well hidden now, if it continues on this path, its plans will be exposed sooner or later.
At that time, how could it, which does not have overwhelming strength in its own right, dare to resist the pressure from the parliament and the entire First World?
The answer to this question may be hidden in the phantom palace in front of Lilia, but Lilia can't enter it to find out.
And it can't stay here any longer, because it already senses that some special protective spell in the dormitory seems to have begun to detect its existence!
So, with regret and confusion, Lilia had to leave the dormitory again, and reported everything she had just seen and her own speculations to Xue Hua......
......
Meanwhile, in the apparition palace that Lilia failed to enter, Hakan II, the incarnate of Belial, was floating in mid-air, gulping down human souls floating from the clay pots around her.
In front of it, the five "High Priests" who had been wearing black silk cloaks and gold masks inlaid with emeralds were gone, except for Magda, who was dressed in a purple gauze skirt.
"Master, that guy came so soon, it looks like he's already found something."
"That's right... His behavior is very abnormal, and he is about to force me into the palace as soon as he comes up!
At tomorrow's conference, he will definitely try to debunk my disguise in public......"
"How the hell does he know... There's nothing wrong with your disguise, and we don't reveal anything about your true identity......"
Magda's face was incredulous.
In her opinion, it took her master so long to plan and correct herself that she was able to win the trust of the people of the Kingdom of Kejistan.
Even the other human kingdoms didn't see any flaws.
Perhaps Dika Kane and the others of Akhara were suspicious of them, but they were only suspicious, and no one even thought that Hakan II's body had long since been replaced by her master.
After all, it is impossible for a demon lord to work hard to pull back a human kingdom that was originally on the verge of shattering from the edge of a cliff.
In the inherent belief of human beings, demons only bring destruction and destruction, and civilization and order are completely out of step with them.
So no one thought that Hakan II had actually become a carrier of the demon king's projection, and even Dika Kane, who was famous for his intelligence, was limited to thinking that Hakan II might have made some deal with the demon.
What's more, they also threw out the bait of the "True God Cult".
In this case, Xue Hua directly aimed at Hakan II as soon as he came up, rather than the True God Cult that was more likely to frame him, which undoubtedly seemed very abnormal.
Especially before her master's plan was launched, Xue Hua's insect swarm had already taken measures to monitor the Kartim Palace.
It's like Xue Hua's unpredictable prophet has seen through their plan from the beginning, giving Magda a creepy feeling that everything is under the control of the other party.
"I don't understand either... This human being is shrouded in mysteries......"
On this point, Beria in the center of the circle was also very puzzled.
According to the information he obtained, it seems that this is not the first time that Xue Hua has "predicted the prophet".
Starting from Rugoin and going all the way to Harogas in the far north, as long as this guy leaves his footprints, there must be some "miracles" along the way that ordinary people can't do.
Aside from the minions named "The Swarm", this guy always seems to be able to find things and places that countless people have been searching for for countless years.
The most typical cases are the long-lost tomb of Ta Rasha in the Aranok region, and the Hradic Cube, a sacred relic of the Hradim Mages.
These are things that many people have searched for countless years, and they have searched the entire desert without touching the slightest edge.
But in his hands, it doesn't seem to take much time to find it easily......
What kind of secrets are still hidden in this guy?
I really want to knock his head open and suck his soul out and taste it!
That must be delicious!
Beria thought wildly with anticipation, then came to his senses and put the topic aside.
"I don't know how he found out who I really am, but it's not about that... The key now is how we respond to his real intention to hold talks tomorrow......"
"The hosts... In what ways do you think he will try to expose you? Magda asked.
"Some kind of magic... Or is it some special kind of servant under his command?
Maybe it's simpler and more rude, and they rush directly to attack me, and in my current state, I will definitely not be able to maintain a stable form......"
"Your status... Seems bad? Magda looked at Beria, who had taken the form of Hakan II in front of her, and she noticed that Belia's humanoid face had many strange magic patterns on his face, which were not too obvious under the makeup of King Hakan's face, which the monarchs of the Kingdom of Kejistan had a habit of applying colored paint to their faces as a prestige makeup.
But if they continue to grow, that's not good......
"Soul! I need more human souls! Better quality! More in number! Beria suddenly let out a low roar, and there was no soul light floating out of the clay pot in the circle on the ground, and all the souls it had stored from Al Nasar were now gone.
"Why haven't those idiots come back yet! I need a soul! More souls! ”
Hakan II's complexion gradually turned hideous, his body began to expand strangely, and unstable energy streams quickly overflowed from his body!
"The hosts! Master! Calm down! Control your power, this is the Phantom Palace, and if your power riots, this place will collapse! ”
Magda hurriedly pounced on him, using her power to help Belial stabilize her human form.
If it manifests itself here, it will never be able to revert to the image of Hakan II!
This would be a catastrophic blow to their plans.
Just when Beria was about to endure to the limit, two high priests in black silk robes suddenly appeared in the palace.
Each of them held two clay pots in their hands, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they quickly lifted the seals on the clay pots.
Woowoo......
Countless souls poured out of the clay pot with painful wails, converging into a huge torrent of souls that Belial sucked into his body.
After receiving this timely addition, it slowly stabilized from the situation that was about to burst its own human form, but the expression on its face was still very bad.
"I need more souls! That's not enough! If I go to tomorrow's confrontation like this, then I will be exposed!
Magda! ”
"I'm here, master, what do you command?"
"Let's use 'that' once......
“!!!” Magda was startled, and a trace of cold sweat immediately fell on her forehead.
"Do you want to use it once? But ......"
"I know your concerns, but we have no choice!"
“... Yes, I see......"
