Chapter 200: The Demon King of the House Next Door
"You said there was a candidate for the Demon King here?" Arthur was stunned, he thought about the places where many demon king candidates might appear, the four demon king cities, the inheritance of the warlock bloodline of each family, but Arika? It seems that it is really possible to write like this.
Arthur was an elite student who had been educated by the great wizard Davus and the half-goblins, and the ancient demon king was better than many professional scholars.
The Demon King of the North, the name of Arica, he has long been like thunder, this demon king born as a god warrior, is also a terrible character, although not as great as San Mario who created a precedent for magicians at that time, but he is also a figure who has reached the peak of warriors.
"The sons of Arikah? I actually live next door to myself, and it's really 'Malegobi'. Arthur looked at this town that exuded the smell of death and cursed in his heart, the descendants of the hero's ancestors and bastards, a city lord who abandoned the city and fled, resulting in the destruction of the city, is also qualified to select the demon king?
"Don't be angry, this guy is just a little minion, a puppet of a high-level demon, most likely a little weak demon bloodline in his body, and the lords won't even look at this kind of waste." Aragorn of the Demon Summoning Book also didn't care, he didn't know how many of these small characters he had pinched to death back then.
How many high-level demons are there in the demon army of the demon king San Mario? I'm afraid that even he can't count himself, there are a lot of famous demon lords who were deceived on the front line without knowing the truth, except for those scheming abyss demon kings, few of them can resist the temptation.
Igda was able to ascend to the throne so quickly after the demon invasion, not because it was the weakest time of the abyss, and a large number of lords and high-ranking demons all became victims of San Mario's calculations.
Otherwise, with a transformation demon, he can also become a great lord across several far-reaching levels? It's too much to take the demons who grew up in the fight too seriously.
Of course, 10,000 years later, Igda's ability to control magic power is no longer inferior to any demon lord. The strength among the demons is even closer to those legendary demon kings.
With such support, Arthur should have been at ease, but this Abyss Invasion is completely different from the past. It is intricate and difficult to measure victory or defeat with simple strength.
"Minions are also candidates, go. Let's go with me to see what confidence this minion has. With a wave of his hand, Arthur slowly moved forward, and in the distance, he could see Oys, who was already approaching the city, leading the young demons into the city from the ruined walls.
At this time, there was no food in the fist demon town, and it was either snatched by the orcs, or it was looted by the displaced people who fled back, and many of the refugees who fled to Morado actually came from the town in front of them.
But after this tragic disaster. These homeless people chose to hide their food in what they thought was safe, and ran to Morado empty-handed to eat the imperial food.
If you want to find food from this town, even these goblins with a keen sense of smell can't do it, Arthur originally only planned to see the situation, and didn't plan to enter the town at all, but now, he can't go in, and let a demon king candidate stay by his side, Arthur may not even be able to sleep.
Dealing with demons, there is no burden for the half-goblin to make a move. So Arthur is not worried, what tricks does the other party have, anyway, you have fire. I have flooding, who is afraid of who, let's talk about it first.
"Sure enough, it smells like an abyss, and the negative energy magic here is much thicker than in other places." Arthur felt that the concentration of negative energy magic around him suddenly increased from less than a few tenths of a percent to a number that had to be calculated in a percentage of percent.
In particular, these magic powers are not at all compatible with the pure negative energy magic in his body, and there are obviously some aggressive foreign objects in them, which are repelled by his pure magic power.
Not to mention half-goblins. I haven't looked good since I got closer, but the girl looks like she doesn't have anything here. After all, I've been fighting against the abyssal breath for so long, and I don't know how to repel the abyssal breath. can be more skilled than Arthur.
"My lord, I searched with the young devils, and I found no signs of human activity here." Oys, seeing Arthur enter the city, also ends his cursory search.
"Yes, have you seen the Lord's Mansion?" Arthur looked around at the towns with walls on each side and thought for a moment.
This town is about the same size as Morado, but it is actually slightly smaller, after all, Morado is the first town in this area to be founded around the wizard's tower 700 years ago, and even if it has been breached and changed lords in the middle, it is still the oldest town.
And Arica, although it also has some history, but in the proud Morado population, that is, a southern countryman, the smell of discrimination is so strong that he can't feel it at all, in fact, in the eyes of the people of the northern city, he is just a countryman.
"There is no lord, the door of the lord's mansion has been collapsed, and there is no place to enter for the time being." Oyss shook his head, as the most important area of the human town, of course he had seen it, but after going around, there was really no way to go around it unless he set up a ladder and climbed in through the window.
"No need to look for it...... There must be something wrong here, the town has been laid a magic circle, and any life that dies here will be sacrificed as a sacrifice to trade with the demons. Aragorn's voice was a little faint, and as a soul, he would actually be affected by this circle.
Sacrificing souls? This is a great sin, and in the religion of the gods of the Overworld, the soul is the most important part,* which can be destroyed, and can even be defiled by the devil as the undead.
But souls may not be lost, and there is a circle of souls in this town, Arthur suddenly realizes a very bad possibility.
In the early days, when warlocks were still called evil, they would also sacrifice their souls as sacrifices to summon demons, of course, most of the time, summoning mid-level and low-level demons was often to sacrifice souls to high-level demons and let them give them to their minions.
The summoning contract with high-level demons is more based on the contract between the bloodline and the abyss, so to speak, the summoned middle-level demons can be summoned as servants at will, so that it is no problem to send them to death.
But high-level demons, you have to be an ancestor like this, and you can't eat and drink all kinds of souls.
Even if the demons are treated like this, once the war is unfavorable, these demons are very likely to betray the summoner, sacrifice some of their strength, and flee directly back to the abyss after contacting the contract.
I don't know how many warlocks with ordinary demon bloodlines were killed by these demons, and in the end, except for the demon king family who had the ability to absolutely control demons, almost no warlocks could reach the strength of high-level warlocks. (To be continued)
