- The behemoth figure in front of him is a demon that is believed to have disappeared in the age of the gods and has not appeared in the Mayan world for 2,000 years.

They are the core race of the Eternal Empire, and the name "Samikina" means a noble bloodline that was once known as one of the "Demon Nobles".

There are seventy-two demon nobles, most of whom have been slaughtered at the end of the Eternal War, and the historical records about them have long since been wiped out.

However, a section of far-sighted extraordinaries and human rulers is well aware that the demons are not really dead. Even after thousands of years, the remnants of the Eternal Empire still remain in this world, lurking in dark corners, licking their wounds.

Scholars and believers who know about this matter are also worried about their comeback all the time.

On the one hand, the demonic nobles are loyal to the Emperor and are in opposition to the Holy Alliance that once destroyed the empire and now rules Middle-earth, and on the other hand, the terrifying abilities of this race......

It can be said that they are the true natural fighting race, and the rest of the intelligent life in the Mayan world cannot be compared to the demons.

Unlike human beings, who are inherently weak and need to work hard to make up for them, demons don't need to be trained or educated, and they have inherited all the knowledge and experience engraved in their parents' bloodlines since they were born from their mother's womb.

All the young demons have to do is to bring out the power in their bloodlines through constant battles and battles, and strive to develop new skills to pass on to the next generation that they have bred.

From the moment it was born, demons became one of the battle weapons of the entire race. The word "power" has long been firmly engraved in the souls of demons.

In addition, each noble bloodline has a corresponding natural ability, which can cast spells like a wizard, perform swordsmanship like a knight, and use a divine gift like a god. There is no need for "temples of knowledge" or "trees of faith", they are an extraordinary race by nature.

Unlike the inheritance model of human beings, which inevitably has a loss of knowledge and legacy, each generation of demons can completely inherit the abilities of one generation, and improve on this foundation.

It can be said that their way of development is completely superior to that of today's humans.

Humans were once considered the race with the most potential, but in the face of demons, this advantage is not worth mentioning at all. Because people can be blinded by selfishness and selfish desires, but the fighting skills of the demon clan are completely based on nature.

In this way, it is only natural that the humans who have now succeeded in replacing the demons and ruling the Mayan world will be afraid of this ancient race.

After all, they won with the help of the power of the gods, not on their own strength.

However, a wizarding leader like Howard, who has accumulated a great deal of knowledge over the years, knows more about ancient secrets than the average scholar.

One debatable theory is that demons were not born naturally, not the "Mayan Sons" in the true sense of the word, but a race created by the Emperor of the Eternal Empire, the "Heads of Evil".

More precisely, it was He who created the existence known as the "Primordial Demon", and the Primordial Demon, as the first demon of the Mayan world, became the source of this powerful race.

There are even people who believe that the first generation of demons were originally humans, elves, dwarfs and other intelligent races.

On this basis, a more important conclusion is that other races can be transformed into demons through a secret method known as the "reincarnation ritual".

That's what Howard intends to do with the other party.

His current human body was overwhelmed. Aging is secondary, and wizards always have ways to prolong their lives and energize their bodies, not to mention Howard Nuren himself.

The key lies in the vast number of curses and plagues that haunt him, the countless traces of torture, the wounds left by the heavy wounds of his enemies, or the wounds caused by his own careless experiments......

Ever since he had crawled out of the coffin, Howard had found that his dying body was like a badly rusted cog, on the verge of reaching its limits, and that it could not last long just by tinkering, taking potions, or replacing organs.

But not to mention the present, even after fulfilling his ambitions, he does not intend to die.

Therefore, when Howard accidentally noticed traces of the activity of the remnants of the empire near the wilderness, he would hit the idea of the "reincarnation ritual" -

He has no nostalgia for the identity of human beings, and it is undoubtedly a great thing to be able to abandon the broken ** and replace it with a powerful body belonging to the ancient race. The only downside is that once the identity of the demon is revealed, it will attract the hunt of the entire Holy Alliance.

However, this kind of thing does not matter to him, after all, the name "Howard Nulun", which belongs to the dark wizards, has been registered by the Holy See's list of thorns a hundred years ago.

The only problem is that even though the other party agreed to his own conditions, Mr. Howard still did not let his guard down, fearing that the other party would regret it or make a hindrance during the ceremony.

Even though the Wizard of the Black Tower and the Holy Alliance are not all the way, the demon has never had a good impression of ordinary humans.

"I heard that presiding over the demon reincarnation ceremony is the right of the emperor, and the loyalty of the demon nobles to the emperor is known to everyone, may I ask ......"

Howard asked cautiously. This matter is a matter of life, even if he is confident that he can see the details of the ceremony, he can't help but be careless.

It was clear to everyone that despite the fall of the Demon Emperor for more than two thousand years, the loyalty of the remnants of the empire remained untouched. As long as the demons exist, this belief will continue.

Therefore, the High King of the year would choose the genocidal policy, otherwise with the powerful talents of the demons, it would have been enough to arouse the covetousness of the major kingdoms and even the church forces.

"You're right, although the empire has been destroyed, we demons who survived are just the dust of history......" Samikina's tone was very calm, which was a bit unexpected by the old wizard, "However, two thousand years will never make us let go of our blood feuds, let alone let us forget the majesty and kindness of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"So ......"

"But that's the only thing you don't have to worry about, human beings. Your Majesty, on his deathbed, gave us the ceremony of rebirth. He knows that the empire is about to be destroyed, the edifice is about to fall, and our people are doomed to a difficult road ahead without the protection of the wind and rain, so he leaves the right to live and reproduce to us. ”

“...... Is it? He was a great man who was willing to share the right to create life with his creatures. ”

This time, Samikina didn't speak for a long time.

After the old wizard expressed his feelings, he quickly turned the topic back to real interests. He couldn't wait to ask:

"So, when can we start?"

"When will you complete the deal, human," said the demon, "the fog demon has trapped that group of people in the Holy See, and it is inconvenient for me to show my face now, as long as you can expel them, I will perform a ceremony for you, right now, right here, how about it?" ”

"Good, I like a crisp answer."

The beard at the corner of the old wizard's mouth curled slightly.

Although this time he had to work with the hard stubble, he was still satisfied with completing two crucial deals at once.

Since it was a matter of time before the Holy See team was attacked, it was natural that Mr. Howard's indignation and hesitation in front of Rasputin not long ago was mostly an act, and it could be regarded as the cunning characteristic of this old man.

"—And one more thing."

In the shadows cast by the candlelight, Samikina leaned over the massive skull, as if listening to something. After a moment, he asked.

"During the migration just now, the fog demons trapped another group of people in the cave, who seemed to be wizards from the Black Tower. What do you think, human? ”

Howard was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth opened, and a slightly hideous smile appeared on his old face.

"—at your disposal. But I'm thinking, after a busy night, it's time for you to drink some blood and eat some meat to treat your belly, right? ”
