The two of them lingered in the dark chamber for a few moments before parting their wet lips.

"Next question. Serena straightened Arnold's collar with a blank face, and the passion of the kiss was not reflected in her face at all.

"Does the loss of your soul affect you......?

"No, it won't. Serena still lowered her head to arrange her brother's collar, but raised one hand and used her thumb to stop Arnold's eager tone, "How many times it will affect you, but it doesn't matter, you should worry about yourself instead of worrying about this." Don't forget, in your contract with Belial, it's not just your soul that you have to give, but also your lifespan, my short-lived brother. ”

Arnold sighed, he still couldn't rest assured, but since Serena had already said this, he couldn't continue to ask.

"And what is the blessing that Ashtar has blessed you?" Arnold recalls Ashtarus's words, which always have an unfinished meaning, making it difficult to grasp the exact meaning, "Expecting our children, is it ......"

"Lord Ashtar is the Demon Lord who rules over forbidden love and the dead. Serena once again contemplated her brother's words, "Forbidden love is often the kind of love that is not allowed by the moral norms of the world, in other words, feelings that are contrary to human morality, and these things that are rejected by the world are the favorite of Lord Yastalus." ”

"So, He's going to say we're special, right?"

"That's right. Once again, Serena turned her face away from her brother and refused to face her, "He fell in love with me early on, because...... I already had the soil in my heart to sow His faith. ”

Arnold was silent, but hugged his sister tighter.

"And the 'special' that Lord Yastalu said is not just us, I'm afraid ......" Serena lowered her head, her eyes showing a hint of hesitation that Arnold couldn't see, "I'm afraid, there are other people, such as ...... Isabella. ”

Arnold was startled, and his body couldn't help shaking, and Serena, who was clinging to her brother's body, also felt the tremor completely.

Then what he says is expecting our children...... Is that what it means?"

Serena was silent for a long time, and did not answer Arnold immediately.

Arnold also fell silent, and the brother and sister stopped the topic in unison.

"Anything else to ask?" it was a long time before Serena spoke.

"What does he mean by evil?" No longer talking about those upsetting things, Arnold brought the topic back to business, "The southeast is the territory of Northville, the evil on the sea, and the eastern territory is indeed near the sea, so the crisis that Northville is facing now is different from what we guessed, they built armor specifically to fight demons, in fact, to deal with a demon that suddenly appeared, and Yastalus specially reminded us ......"

"I'm afraid that the evil that Lord Astarius said will also pose a certain threat to the Nine Grand Dukes of Hell. Serena's eyes sank, "In the lower realm, in addition to the Nine Grand Dukes of Hell, there are many existences with similar strength to them, and those Maharaja-level demons often want to challenge the dominance of the Nine Grand Dukes of Hell in the lower realm, such as Moro and Dagon, they have been trying to defeat a certain Grand Duke of Hell and take the other party's seat. Therefore, the Nine Grand Dukes of Hell are often very wary of such existences, after all, such guys will compete for the control of the Nine Grand Dukes of Hell over the lower realm. ”

"Hmm......" Arnold nodded slowly, while sorting out the information in his sister's words, "A demon from the sea with the strength of a demon lord...... If such a presence really appears in the territory of Northville, or is about to arrive in the territory of Northville, is it possible for them to resist it?"

Serena glanced at Arnold, as if she thought her brother's question was too stupid, and her eyes took on the look of an idiot.

"If these mortals can deal with a Maharaja-level demon, then why would Northwell ask us for an alliance?"

"But they have the city of Vodahara. Although Arnold felt very uncomfortable being looked at by his sister like this, he still didn't mean to change his words, "If it's that Vodahara, is it possible to withstand the attack of a demon lord?"

Serena was silent, a question that was a bit difficult to answer.

"It's hard to say, you know, the strength of the Grand Dukes of Hell is not equal, and there are also superior and inferior, and even the strength of a Maharaja-level demon like Leviathan exceeds that of some Hell Grand Dukes. Perhaps this new demon posed a threat to Lord Astalus, but it was still unknown whether it could pose a threat to beings like Belel and Lucifer, who were at the top of the power of the Nine Grand Dukes. ”

Serena frowned and carefully calculated the comparison of the strengths of the two sides.

"I have not seen the city of Vodahara, so I cannot give an accurate judgment, if I had to give a comparison......" she bit her lip, as if she was very concerned about the result, "Lord Astaru said that the ruler of the sea stopped him for the time being...... The ruler of this sea should refer to Tulos, the Lord of the Storm, although it may also be Sid, the god of death, but Sid will not have time to pay attention to the affairs of the lower realm, so the one who will stop that guy should be Tulos, who is close to the lower realm and has formed a certain tacit understanding with Leviathan and Dagon. However, although Tulos is closely related to the lower realm, he does not belong to the lower realm, so he only hinders it, not destroys it...... In this case, the strength of that nascent demon lord should be equivalent to that of a mid-to-lower-level Hell Grand Duke, and if that were the case, then Vodahara's might really be able to stop him...... In any case, the floating fortress built by the Arcane craftsmen of Vodahara, after all, is also the top combat power in the human world. ”

Arnold listened silently, taking Serena's analysis to heart.

"However, if it really comes to the point where you have to rely on the city of Vodahra to fend off the enemy, then Northvi is equivalent to falling into a desperate situation. The attack of a demonic lord, even if the city of Vodahara, is impregnable, it will inevitably be greatly damaged. Norsvi certainly didn't want to see this, so they asked for help, even if it was inevitable to fight such a terrible being, they would want to save some more combat power to avoid being invaded by the Askar Alliance in a weakened state. ”

Thinking about why Northway sought an alliance, Arnold felt like he had dropped a boulder, and now he had finally gained the initiative in this alliance.

"But it's also a big problem. Arnold immediately frowned again, although he could take the initiative with the advantage of intelligence in the alliance, but when it really involved the attack of a demon lord, he still had a little headache, "Although I don't want to sacrifice manpower for Northvi, I can't ignore it." After all, Vodahra City is a castle that cannot be moved, if that demon goes around Vodahalla City and advances towards the Cold Mountain Territory......"

The corners of Arnold's mouth tightened, and he felt uneasy at the thought that Astalus had said that there would be a battle between himself and the evil.

"It would be best if we could take advantage of Northway's home advantage in Vodahara's home field and destroy that demon. But if you want to fight against a guy at the level of a demon lord, and to destroy him, the combat power required is not small, not to mention ......"

He glanced up, but Arnold immediately withdrew his gaze because he couldn't tell the direction in the small chamber.

"What's more, now that the empire is still facing a war with the Baidi people in Tiamat Palace, the imperial council of the imperial capital cannot be shirked, and the two major threats are coming at the same time, maybe I should be glad that I am not the master of this empire, otherwise I should be too busy. ”

"And in the end, it must have cost a huge number of casualties, but also more than worth the loss. ”

Arnold added in a sarcastic tone.

"But it's also a good excuse. Serena glanced at Arnold, looking a little disdainful at the sarcastic look on her brother's face, "The Eastern Territory has been attacked by demons, so Leng Shan's order to help defend the eastern frontier of the empire is also an extremely reasonable excuse to shirk the Imperial Council, right?"

Arnold gave Serena a strange look.

"What's wrong?" Serena frowned, as if she was displeased that Arnold saw her like this.

"Of course I'd rather fight the White Ground than that Demon Maharaja-level guy. Arnold sighed, although Serena is very intelligent, but perhaps because she has been in the wizarding world for too long, her way of thinking seems to be very problematic, "No matter how strong the people of the White Land are, after all, they are the army of the human world, but if I face the Demon Lord, my losses will only be worse." ”

"Hmph......" Serena sneered, and the sarcasm in her eyes became more obvious.

"What's wrong?" Arnold didn't care about his sister's sarcasm, he was used to it, and what made him uneasy was the reason why Serena laughed like this, as if there was something he didn't know.

"Do you really think there is no connection between these two things?"

"What do you mean?" Arnold was taken aback and looked at his sister with wide eyes.

"The people of the White Land believe in the legendary dragons of their tribe, and their current Great Chief is also the identity of the dragon descendant who commands the entire tribe, and interestingly, the dragon is the traditional force of the lower realm. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence that a Maharaja-level demon was born when a new dragonborn appeared on the White Lands?"

"You say that...... "Arnold said, rubbing his chin and thinking about it, "it's not for nothing......

"And ......," Serena lowered her face, revealing a worry in her hidden expression, "A few months ago, Pelian appeared in the world, and Lord Astoreus laid out a plan for you to become a dependant of Belel, what has happened in the past few months is really unsettling, as if it is a prelude to a storm, as if a great storm that will affect the whole world is coming, really...... It's very unsettling. ”

Arnold also looked a little melancholy, but he was not bothered by such negative feelings.

Holding his sister tightly in his arms, Arnold whispered in Serena's ear: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, as long as our brother and sister are together, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

"Hmph, do you still need to say this? My useless brother. ”

Although his sister said this, Arnold's mouth showed a smile.

"Now that the final problem has been solved, it's time for me to go. ”

"Isn't it after the New Year?"

"I'm afraid it's too late. Arnold shook his head, "If Northvi's troubles are really a demon Maharaja-level guy, then it's better to plan for this kind of thing in advance." Now my biggest concern is that the Northvi may not fully realize the seriousness of the problem, they may know that something bad is moving towards their territory on the sea - there must be followers of Tulos in a territory like the Eastern Territory - but they may not know what kind of big guy it will be, and Northvi, who has always been confident in the city of Vodahara, may not realize that this enemy may have the ability to destroy the city of Vodahara. ”

"Then what are you going to do and just tell them that it's a demon lord who is coming?" Serena pouted, "In that case, how do you explain the source of this news?"

"That's ......," Arnold said with a confident smile on his lips, "I've got a solution." ”
