[The incident began when Abbot Boswell of Amos left behind a book on the devil before his disappearance, through which Monk Mund contacted the superior demon, Enid Scott Darkfire.] ]

……

[In order to take revenge on the murderous monks, the demon sent Monk Mondstadt to a hidden seal to open the seal, which eventually led to a powerful demon named Ymir Wollaston Morningstar escaping the seal and disappearing.] ]

……

[During this time, in order to prevent our investigators from going to the Sealed Land, the superior demon Enid Scott Darkfire personally came to attack, and was later defeated and sealed by the Holy Spirit who descended.] ]

……

[After investigating, we learned that in addition to opening this sealed place, the devil Enid Scott Darkfire also told Monk Mund to go to Mulberry City in the Kingdom of Pharos to find a human male named Gna Bertie, but because Enid Scott Darkfire has been sealed by the Holy Spirit, we do not know the specific reason.] ］

……

[Through an analysis of the nature and abilities of Enid Scott Darkfire's power, we suspect that it is loyal to the Lord of Fear, but whether or not this is true needs to be investigated closely...... ］

……

In the garden on a bright morning day, an old man in a simple white robe finally took his eyes off the report, and then rubbed his wrinkled forehead, which seemed to have a headache.

"Your Majesty, what is the matter this time?"

A waiter next to him asked curiously when he brought a basin of foot-washing water.

"Annoying."

The old man, who was called the crown, replied with a tired expression and handed the report to the other party.

The old man behaved casually, and the waiter didn't seem to regard himself as a real servant, and after taking the secret report with a natural expression, he frowned after a while.

"Could there be a devil who is stupid enough to be trapped by his own arrangement?"

The report was followed by a detailed documenting process, so he was able to see the puzzling details.

"The power of the Demon King is dangerous and uncontrollable."

The old man sitting on the stone bench in the garden said lightly: "All careerists who try to use the power of the Demon King, whether it is a human or a devil, or even a dragon in the deep sea, will be swallowed by this power. ”

"Demon King?" The waiter's fingers pinched the report unconsciously tightened.

"Ymir Wollaston Morningstar."

As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and motioned for the other party to bring down the basin of foot-washing water placed on the stone table.

"One of the Seven Demon Kings of Hell, the true name of the Lord of Pain, he is the youngest of the Seven Demon Kings."

As he spoke, he placed his feet in a simple wooden footbath, and some of the little things that wandered in the basin gathered together.

"Born after the disappearance of the previous generation of the Queen of Pain, Morning Star inherited most of the power of the Queen of Pain. But unlike its predecessors, the Morning Star does not like to physically abuse human beings, and is adept at mental torture, making it a more feared being in hell than the Lord of Fear, and a great enemy of our heavenly kingdom. ”

The young waiter's expression was solemn when he heard this, and the old man who was washing his feet suddenly laughed when he saw this.

"But we don't need to worry too much about it."

"What do you mean?"

"If the morning star is in turmoil, our heavenly kingdom will naturally not let it go,"

The old man said meaningfully, "Besides, although the Morning Star has come, it may not have the strength to play tricks on us. ”

The waiter was a little puzzled when he heard this, but the old man didn't say anything, just mentioned lightly,

"Don't think of hell as a simple place, kid, hell is messy, much messier than our world."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned for the other party to turn to the next page of the report, "You're looking at the others." ”

The young waiter followed the words, and then saw some obvious words of invitation.

It was the credit of the participants in this event, the most obvious of which was a guy named Bernie Alec, who wrote down the time from his joining the church to the present, and several exploits during this time, and also highlighted his status as a god.

"What do they mean by that?" The young waiter was a little angry when he saw this, "Obviously he didn't stop the seal from being unsealed, but he still has the face to come and ask for a reward?" ”

"There's never just one narrative direction for a thing, kid."

The old man said disapprehantly, "We can see this as a failure, and we can also consider it a success." After all, if it weren't for their investigation, we wouldn't have any clue about Morningstar. ”

"So Your Majesty is going to reward them?"

"Why not?"

The old man said, glancing at the young attendant scrutinically, "What do you think of this newly discovered Divine Servant?" ”

"Very capable," replied the young waiter cautiously, "but he comes from the depraved land of Newcastle, and has been with us for less than a week, and I think it will be worth watching." ”

"Are you worried about the loyalty of the Divine Servant?"

The old man shook his head with a smirk, "That's hard to imagine, child, his relationship with heaven is like between you and me. ”

The young waiter didn't seem to understand, "But the time he has been with us is indeed too short, if you reward him according to merit......"

"I'll reward him, but not out of line."

The old man said, raising his hand to take the report, "At the same time, he will not be rewarded as a judge." ”

Muttering as if to himself, he flipped through the report and wrote a note on it with a quill pen at the very end of the page.

Then he pressed it with a ring he was wearing.

And so the stack of parchment reports dissipated one after another as a glimmer of light.

"Believe me, child, it's far more terrifying to have a divine being into our legal system than to have a biting little mermaid sneak into my footbath."

After saying this in an eerie tone, he bent down and scooped up a thumb-sized mermaid from the bathtub at his feet.

The mermaid has blond hair and blue eyes, and its chest is smooth, and if you don't consider its long fishtail below the waist, you would think that this is some kind of pocket villain.

In fact, it was a cub of the merfolk of the deep sea, and it was not the only one, and there were about ten or so of these cubs in the ordinary-looking footbath at the old man's feet.

It's just that unlike other specially trained cubs, this little mermaid caught in his hands not only did not honestly wash his feet, but also bit him on the instep of his foot......

This also made the old man aware of some abnormalities in this little thing.

Therefore, when the little mermaid caught in his hand kept spitting at him during the fierce struggle, the old man not only did not get angry, but also handed it over to the waiter next to him, and asked him to take the fish to someone to study it carefully.

……

On the other side, while the rulers of the covenant religion were suspicious of a mermaid, a fat elk was running through a dense forest in Ibiza.

It was fast, and its big eyes were full of panic, as if it was being chased by something.

But there's nothing behind it.

But there is it in the perception of this deer, and it is still very close.

So it ran fast, in a hurry, and even scared.

Eventually, it lost its strength completely, and collapsed on the side of a bluestone beside a stream.

The existence that is secretly haunted thus emerges—

I saw that a bloodshot pustule suddenly bulged from the elk's buttocks, and then the pustule burst, and a large amount of blood splattered from it!

The elk wailed, but it no longer had the strength to get up and run, so as the condition of the butt became more and more serious, it gradually bleed to death.

And the blood that flowed out of its body gathered together and gradually turned into a black-robed man.

After the black-robed man appeared, he looked around cautiously and found nothing unusual, so he knelt down in front of a raised nameless mound next to the stone.

After muttering a few awkward words, he began to report the situation.

"In our investigation of the whereabouts of the King of Pain, we have discovered a Divine Servant, Your Majesty. But when we were capturing the gods, we came across a sealed place, and the seal in that sealed place was a demon king whose identity was unknown......"

The mound didn't respond, and some of the weeds growing on it swayed slightly as the breeze blew around it.

However, the black-robed man was very patient, kneeling there respectfully and never moving.

Normally, the other party would naturally not pay attention to a small inferior devil like him, but the black-robed man felt that what he was telling was important enough, or rather, very important.

So I'm not afraid that the other party will ignore me.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, a gentle voice full of magnetism quietly came out.

"Tell me the details."

"I ...... I don't know much about it, but I saw a vision of the Demon King coming, and my master told me to stay at the door......"

The black-robed man replied cautiously.

"Where's Enid?" The other party obviously knew who the owner of the black-robed man was, and called out the name accurately.

"I don't know, I haven't been able to contact her since she entered the seal, but I guess...... I guess she's been captured by the church guys, because it wasn't long before I saw a group of witchers running in......"

"Start from scratch and tell me about your mission." The other side spoke again, and his voice was still very gentle.

The black-robed man told the truth from the time he noticed that a demon had descended on the monastery to investigate, and finally what he saw and heard in front of the sealed place.

Finally, he cautiously asked, "Will you go and save my master?" Your Majesty? ”

The other side didn't respond for a long time, and the black-robed man was a little apprehensive.

He felt that this one should be saved, after all, he and his master had been ordered by this to come to the human world to investigate the missing Lord of Pain.

And only his master knows what happened in the Sealed Ground last night, and if nothing else, it may involve the target of their investigation, the missing Lord of Pain.

After all, there seems to be no reason for the other six demon kings of hell to appear in the human world at this time, and there is some possibility that the mysterious king of pain is ......

Thinking so, he felt a little relieved.

It was just that just now that he had this thought, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out from the mound, and without giving the black-robed man any room to react, it suddenly burrowed into his body.

In an instant, a great fear emerged from the bottom of his heart, and the black-robed man seemed to have seen the most evil existence in the world, his dark red eyes tightened suddenly, and his whole body trembled and then stiffened.

Then, the body turned into pus and blood, and the pus and blood melted into the earth......

He's dead.
