Hearing that the matter was not over, George's hooded head was slightly stunned.

Locke smiled, turned his head to the ghouls who were looking up at him around him, and said:

"Caesar, lead the team down to rest, well done, a leg of mutton per person!"

"Huh——! Whew——! Whew——!! ”

All the ghouls raised their heads in excitement and howled loudly when they heard this—it was a great joy that they would be rewarded by the king for eating rotten meat all day long—though meat was the same in their eyes.

"Go down and rest." Locke spoke to the 13 vampires in mid-air, who bowed to him and were all taken into the castle along with the ghouls on the ground.

Then, the fat man, Anne, and three evil spirits glowing red appeared in front of them.

George was even more confused when he saw them - if the matter is not over, it means danger, but now let them out, what does that mean?

Although the vampire's appearance is obscured, it can be seen from his body movements that this guy is now full of question marks.

Locke smiled and patted him on the shoulder, motioning for the group to stand in the corner of the hall, and then asked the Skeleton Knight to arrange camouflage around them in case anyone else would find out.

"Can you tell us why? King? George, full of curiosity and questions, couldn't help but speak.

"Look at the three of them." Locke pointed to the three evil spirits next to him and said to everyone, "Isn't it strange that the demons are dead, but they are indifferent?" ”

That's right.

A few nodded thoughtfully, just like the three good students.

"And." Locke smiled and said, "Didn't you notice? The three of them had previously referred to the demon as 'one' instead of 'only', and it was clear that the 'demon' they were referring to was the person who set them on fire, not the fat worm. ”

"Then why did you kill it?"

"Except for other uses, the rest of the value is to upgrade you to gain experience." Locke looked at George and said, 'I'm doing this for your own good.'"

Several people were speechless for a moment after hearing this, and the fat man, who had witnessed the whole thing, asked, "Then do you know who the real black hand is?" Could it be ......?"

Archmage?

"No, not quite him." Locke shook his head and said, "I'll give you a hint, the king we found when we came in turned into a rhinoceros, and it had a faint demonic aura on it. It stands to reason that if you are cursed, you will not become a demon, and if you want to become a demon, you can only be transformed through a sacrificial ritual. ”

At this moment, everyone's eyes widened.

No way......

The shocking answer was about to come out, and the ending of the story made several people a little difficult to accept for a while.

"I think it's better for Snow White and the Seven Little Devils to end up." Anne put her arm around Locke's shoulders and said softly, a little lonely in her tone.

"Huh." Locke smiled, and was about to comfort her when the door to the storage hall opened.

The first to float in was the transparent ghostly figure of the archmage, and then the king who turned into a rhinoceros and wore a crown appeared.

As soon as they saw the demon corpse on the ground, they immediately went over and kept flipping.

Looking at the scene over there, although several people were reminded by Locke, they were still a little unbelievable when they really saw the mastermind behind the scenes.

It was the king himself who burned the princess and the maid to death, and the mage was just an accomplice.

Seeing that everyone was depressed, Locke slowly told the true ending of the story:

No one knows what sacrifice the fifth-order demon really wanted, what people know is the one-sided words of the mage, and the crazy king burned a large number of maids in the palace as sacrifices in order to be able to reincarnate himself as a demon, as for the three princesses, it was just that the sacrifice was not enough, and they were just used to make up the number.

This madness immediately sparked an uproar in the palace, and after everyone worked together to kill the mage who had come up with this bad idea, and then killed the king who had not yet been fully reincarnated, but then found that it had only stopped transforming and was dormant, so they hung it in the throne hall to inform the newcomers, and after all this, everyone left the palace with a sound of spit on them.

For hundreds of years, the mages who became wraiths have been looking for capable adventurers to take out the sealed demon in the reserve hall, and in the end, of course, they succeeded—although the game was played round after round for players to farm, in fact, it was just a team of powerful adventurers.

As for why the mage recruited the brave to take out the sealed demons?

In fact, when one demon kills another, the victor will receive all of the opponent's remaining energy for nourishment, and if they eat its heart, there is a good chance that they will gain the abilities it possesses.

That's right, the plan of the king and the mage is that instead of asking the demon to grant his wish, it is better to give himself the demonic powers, so that he can not only live forever, but also rejuvenate the entire kingdom, and if you are lucky, stand on top of the world!

The price of this is to gather all the ladies in the palace, including his three daughters, as sacrifices for reincarnation, but for the sake of the kingdom, this sacrifice is worth it!

"It is not known whether the king was cursed or not, but he did become a demon." Locke finished his final summary and turned his head to look at the three evil spirits next to him who were staring at the mage through gritted teeth - they thought that the mage had done it until they died, but they didn't know that it was the king himself who really instructed the mage to do these things, just like people only knew that the courtiers framed Zhongliang, but they didn't know that the emperor was the real mastermind.

Thinking of this, Locke realized that it seemed that every evil spirit born of resentment seemed to have a sad story. Every time you collect a Nemesis from now on, you have to die like this without bothering?

"George, I'll leave the of helping the evil spirit fulfill his last wish in the future, anyway, you like to peek into other people's past, don't you?" Locke smiled and patted the vampire next to him and threw the pot at him.

The vampire was a little speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"So finally, let's put an end to this."

When the screen was removed, a large amount of evil aura filled the entire hall, and the mage's spirit body couldn't help but tremble, and together with the rhinoceros next to it, it turned its head in horror.

"So, my beloved Nemesses, how do you want them to die against these wretches?"

The demons, led by the demon king with green eyes in his eyes, walked towards the stunned rhinoceros step by step...... (To be continued)
