Chapter 202: "Demon Emperor" Bafengte
- Oh yes! It's all 108,000 miles wrong, okay?
Richard couldn't hold back the complaining in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had put the mask on again just now, the other party would definitely have realized how wonderful his expression was now.
Admittedly, this was a completely unexpected unfolding...... Richard couldn't understand why he would associate himself with the mythical "Bafant".
Yes, even Rasputin, who has been nesting in the tower for many years, even Richard, who has just arrived in your land, cannot fail to hear of this nameβ
He has long been imprinted in the history of the Mayan world and has left a mark that cannot be erased by anyone.
"Ruler of the Medieval Empire", "Lord of Darkness", "Lord of the Demons", "Eternal Emperor...... There are all kinds of descriptors, all of which are describing the same existence.
Two thousand years ago, he single-handedly founded an empire that encompassed the present-day continent of Middle-earth; Even, except for the insurmountable abyss, almost the entire Mayan world will be swallowed up-
At that time, almost everyone on earth believed that the long divine war would end at the hands of this great being.
As the saying goes, "history is always written by the victors", but even the Holy See, which was the greatest beneficiary of the eternal war and is now known as the "Lord God" (formerly known as the "Lord of the Dawn"), could not erase the influence of the Demon Emperor.
In the Old Testament passages of the Holy See, Baphont is called God's greatest enemy, the tyrant of the scorching sun is his left hand, and the primordial demon is his right hand.
If the Lord God is the embodiment of the supreme good, then the Eternal Emperor is the source and symbol of all evil, just as his honorific title is "the head of all evils......
And now, he is actually considered the reincarnation of this biggest and worst nightmare in Middle-earth?
Richard has not been misunderstood once or twice, but it usually occurs in the communication between colleagues, or in the way subordinates treat the department, due to the misalignment of identity, and the fact that "Rasputin is no longer the cold leader he used to be".
Butβ
Richard's eyes narrowed.
The expression of the female knight looked very serious.
How could a cardinal, as a papal see, come to such nonsense-like conclusions? Joan should know better than anyone the gravity of this judgment.
If the word spreads that God's greatest enemy has been resurrected and returned to the world, I am afraid that the entire Holy Alliance will be plunged into unprecedented turmoil.
It is indeed strange for a legendary wizard to be in his own wizarding tower and have everything taken from him; But just by virtue of the fact that he replaced Rasputin, he can make up a lot of content from the brain, which is obviously not normal.
Certain...... There must be some kind of decisive reason.
"Sir, according to my observations, it seems that the other party has had this kind of speculation since the time he asked if you were Raspuchin. The answer you gave her was just a kind of corroboration. β
At this time, Miss Real Name reminded her at the right time.
"It seems to me that this Miss Joan has been in a very uneasy mood since she woke up. She may well have noticed something from the beginning. β
β...... I see. β
Richard nodded.
In this way, Joan Borgia has already leaked a lot of confidential information about the Holy See in the conversation just now: including the fact that she is the illegitimate daughter of the Pope, the existence of the thorn list, and even the strategic orientation of Leo IV - he is likely to use a knife against the magic tower.
Aside from the fact that there was something about her mother, Joan was very honest with herself. This is clearly not careless or self-defeating, but deliberate.
Even if Joan Ann succumbs to her oath and can't lie to herself, can't she still be silent?
What was she afraid of...... Or what was she expecting?
In Richard's mind, a sentence suddenly came to mind, a sentence that the other party had just spat out of his mouth, which made him feel very concerned: "At the dawn of the second millennium, His Majesty the Emperor of the Eternal Kingdom is about to be resurrectedβ"
This sentence sounds like a ......
"Prophecy".
......
After thinking about it for a long time, the black-robed wizard slowly spoke.
"Possessed? Raspuchin was not possessed by anything. β
He did summon a great spirit from the spirit realm, but it was a demon god, not the so-called "sublime soul of the dead demon emperor wandering in the void", and besides, it was not his real name that killed him.
Rasputchin's death was a trap, a conspiracy.
β...... yes, I don't think that's any kind of possession. β
The knight shook her head.
"The 'possession' of the demon clan only changes the body of the possessed person, changing him from a fundamental life form to another state, it does not replace the human ...... However, the emperor who created them was different. He can create new life out of thin air, and he can play with people's hearts, corrupting and degrading people, and even the gods cannot escape. β
"The 'witch' of the black goat, the first demon in the world, fell from the gods to the possession under His control. There is no one else who can do this except the Eternal Emperor. β
β¦β¦ I see, this "power of depravity" is the reason why Joan doubts herself.
Richard only felt a strange surprise rise in his heart. He thought of the power of his real name, and the question resurfaced: Can the power of the demon god affect the so-called "god"?
Moreover, he couldn't help but ask a question that had puzzled him for a long time after learning about the existence of the knight's oath -
"If you're wondering how I'm controlling you, shouldn't you be even more suspicious of the lion king seven hundred years ago? He had made a vow with twelve legendary extraordinaries in one go......"
"Definitely. But he died. β
Joan's beautiful pupils narrowed, and her gaze was as sharp as a sword.
"When the White Lion King rose to fame as if he had fallen from the sky, some in the Holy See believed that he was the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor. Later, this belief was proven wrong, because the time for resurrection was far from coming, because the resurrected Old God would never die as easily as this mortal hero...... It wasn't until today that I got the real answer. β
...... The other party seems to have said something terrible.
Richard felt that the historical truth hidden behind the Black Iron Age slowly unfolded in front of him, and he was shocked and inexplicable for a while.
He couldn't help but sigh, Qiong'an's tone was calm and rational, without the slightest hesitation, it seemed that the other party believed that he was the reincarnation of the "Demon Emperor" Bafengte, and was convinced of this conclusion.
So, what are you going to do? You are a cardinal, only to learn that the sovereign to whom you now have to owe allegiance is the greatest enemy of the Holy See? β
"His Majesty the Supreme Emperor......"
"No, don't call me that."
"Yes, my lord."
The female knight smiled slightly, and she was as good as a stream.
"The answer is simple β if it's your will, I'll do it."
