Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bell Rings, and the Ember Sets His Way

The huge Demon King's Palace is deserted, and there are not even a few people in sight, the mottled stone walls are covered with green moss, and the surroundings are also tattered, and there is a sense of decadence and decay everywhere, if it is the Demon King's palace, it is more like a haunted murderous mansion.

What a poor demon king...... Li Ang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But it's not surprising to think about it.

As the supreme of the demon world, although the demon king has a transcendent status, strictly speaking, he has no source of income, and his daily expenses mostly rely on the offerings and offerings of the ministers. But after the Great War and the change of regime twenty years ago, the loyal ministers are considered dead, and the rest are some traitorous villains led by the Grand Duke of Bruch, so naturally they will not pay any more money to support the demon king, and it is logical that the palace will become a murderous mansion.

"I always feel like I accidentally chose a hard mode, but reality is really a garbage game!" Li Ang said helplessly.

Yes, although she was forcibly taken captive, Leon decided to side with Alykohia and help her defeat Archduke Bruch.

On one side is a refreshing girl, on the other hand, there is a treacherous and cunning old little white face, how to choose a person understands, right?

Of course, this is just a joke. As the next leader of the Holy See of Light, he naturally has a lot of women upside down, including many stunning beauties, and his fiancΓ©e who loves backstabbing is a person with good looks and temperament, and over time, Li Ang naturally has some resistance to these pink skeletons.

And if you really want to dig deeper, his boss who can't see the head and the end is the most beautiful, after all, she is a goddess, and her eyebrows and facial features are all natural and unique, if it weren't for her too strong neurotic aura, I'm afraid that Li Ang would also be trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself.

Therefore, Leon's choice to help Yarikohya was deliberate and detached from low-level interests. Don't look at Yarikohia is always cold like a big devil who is always ready to destroy the world, but in fact, she is very opposed to starting a war, but advocates recuperation and recuperation, and is bent on improving the living standards of the people in the demon world, which is a standard dove.

On the contrary, the Grand Duke of Bruch was clamoring for a good life for the people, but in fact he was bent on waging war, vainly trying to transfer internal contradictions to external contradictions, and was a complete hawk who wanted to make war money.

Although Li Ang is in the demon world, he doesn't want to start a war between humans and demons, not to mention that the task given to him by his goddess boss is to maintain the peace, so he chooses to help Yarikohia.

If you think about it, this Hardmode isn't actually too difficult. The most difficult step to convince the demon king to stand up and become an idol has been completed, which can basically be said to be more than half of the success.

The unique system and culture of the demon world make the status of the demon king comparable to that of a god, and it is not too much to say that it is a matter of words. What the Grand Duke of Bruch could accomplish with a great deal of effort, Aricotia only had to spend a penny. As long as she casually gives one or two orders that benefit the country and the people, she can easily gain a lot of people's hearts.

There is no doubt that the human smuggling caravan that will soon be the second stage for Yarikoshia to show her talents.

"Smuggling team, it's really a nostalgic word, I don't know which old friend is still there."

Leon muttered to himself, but he shook his head again.

"The matter of trade is secure, and the immediate task now is to lift the curse on Alykothia. It took thousands of years to meet a demon king who liked farming, and it would be a pity if he died like this. Leon said and took out his mobile phone, first sent a text message to Elena saying that he would go back a few days later, and then thought about it with a deep brow.

The curse on Dandelion was cured by Journey to the West, but the manuscript he wrote was beaten to pieces by the three turtle grandchildren of the Bruch family. Do you want to tell the story to that female devil? Can she really appreciate it with her emotional intelligence?

"Tsk, trouble. You need to find a good insertion point. Leon held his chin and began to suffocate the water.

……

The fog was shrouded and the figures were noisy.

It was already noon, but the dew was still heavy, and they soaked Aricotya's clothes and shivered from the cold.

One hand passed a piece of jerky.

A man's voice sounded: "If you don't dislike it, eat a piece, it's noon, I think you should be hungry." ”

"King!"

Yarikohia was reverent and nervous, just looking at the man in front of her, she felt that strength was surging in her heart again.

The Demon King smiled like an ordinary person, and he handed the jerky forward.

Yarikohia took it gratefully and took a careful bite.

"Is it delicious?" The Demon King asked her.

"It's very, it's terrible!" Dry and hard and sour, Yarikohia said with tears in her eyes and a sad face.

"Hahaha." The Demon King smiled heartily, he rubbed Yarikohya's head and said, "Eat it all, remember its taste, and then use the power you get from it to get more delicious food, and take everyone together to get more delicious food!" ”

"Yes!" Arikohia desperately stuffed the jerky into her mouth, and a bell rang in her ears, and the figure of the demon king gradually dissipated, leaving only a faint sound echoing in the thick fog.

"Thea, become king in my place......"

Yarikohia opened her eyes.

She lay on her bed, the familiar curtain in front of her, she touched her lips, and there seemed to be the smell of jerky, but she knew that it was just a dream, a dream from the Great War twenty years ago.

"Wang ......"

The man's appearance was fading, and no matter how hard Aricotia tried, the memory loss caused by the Nameless Curse was becoming more and more obvious, and everything in the past was like a grain of sand in her hand, leaving her one by one.

How much longer can I hold out?

Yarikohia herself didn't know, maybe when she woke up, she would go to her name, forget her identity, forget her mission.

Maybe, that's not bad too?

The bell in her ears never dissipated, ringing again and again, making Aricosia feel irritated for a while.

"Bastard!"

A massive bone chainsaw swung out of her hand, stabbing through the thick stone walls.

"Your Excellency, it's okay!" The black-skinned young lady night owl instantly rushed in, with a bandage around her waist and a splint in her right hand, and as soon as she entered the room, she looked around vigilantly to confirm that there was no enemy before she relaxed.

She put away her guard and asked cautiously, "Xiya, are you having nightmares again?" ”

"It's not a nightmare, but the bell is annoying."

"The bells?"

"As if calling me......" Yarikohia stopped in the middle of her sentence, shook her head, and said, "Forget it, you won't understand." ”

"I'm sorry." Supper said with a depressed expression.

"You don't need to apologize, it's all because of the curse, and it has nothing to do with you." Yali Kexia comforted the other party stiffly, seeing that the effect was not good, she could only sigh in her heart and regain her composure, change the topic and said, "Have you done a good job?" ”

"Yes, it's already happening." The night owl looked straight and said seriously: "That bad demon named Li Ang entered through the west gate of the royal city, but no one knows his specific origin. He traded bamboo rat skins and magic stones as goods with merchants in exchange for food and seeds, and from this point of view, he or the forces behind him should control some land, but the amount would not be too much, and it should be enough for about fifteen people to live, and no more than twenty people at most. ”

"West of the Royal City? That is, the direction in which the light erupted that night. Alykohia pondered for a moment and said, "One of the concubines of the Bruch family disappeared that night, and he happened to be good at controlling the blood slave, and the core of the blood slave is the magic stone. It's all a bit coincidentally excessive. ”

The night owl was stunned for a moment: "You mean, it was Li Ang who killed the concubine?" But how can the demons use the Holy Light? ”

"What if he's not a demon?"

Night Stalk's eyes widened: "A human spy? Do you want me to kill him? ”

Yarikohia thought for a moment, and finally shook her head: "No need, no matter what his identity is, I need him now." Keep an eye on his every move, and report anything unusual to me immediately. ”

"Understood." After the night owl finished speaking, he took out a stack of glued paper from behind him and said, "This is something scattered in his backpack, I took a look at it, it seems to be some kind of story." ”

"The story? Let me see. ”

Yarikohia was about to reach out and take the stack of papers, but a feeling of dizziness came over her, and her body shook and almost fell.

The night owl was shocked and hurriedly tried to step forward to help, but was sharply rejected by Yarikosia.

"Don't come near me, get out at once!"

"But ......"

"No, it's an order!"

The night owl hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and retreated, and the moment she closed the door, she said with a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Xiya, you must hold on." ”

"I'll ...... Do your best. Yarikohia forced a smile and said with difficulty, "Remember to seal my room, no one can approach it to avoid being infected by the curse." ”

"I understand." The night owl nodded and slowly closed the door: "Come on, Xia!" ”

Bang, the door is closed!

Yarikohia collapsed to the ground, she smiled bitterly in her heart, and the bell in her ears rang incessantly, striking the tip of her heart every time, as if someone was calling her, so that her spirit and body were gradually separated.

Perhaps, this is the end.

She stood up and sat down in her chair, struggling to groom. As a demon king, even in the face of death, you must be calm!

Smoothing out the long hair sticking to the corners of her forehead, and even to hide her pale complexion, she used lipstick that she had never used before.

The sweet taste spread between her lips and teeth, and her heart was bitter.

In the end, I still couldn't fulfill the promise I made to the king.

She smiled wryly and looked down, but saw the stack of papers that the night owl had put down casually, and the first thing that caught her eye was a string of strange sentences.

"Covering the masses of beings and looking up to benevolence, inventing all things is good. If you want to know the Yuan Gong of the Creation Society, you must see the Journey to the West......"

This is exactly the handwritten Journey to the West by Li Ang.
