Emir was taken aback and subconsciously thought that this was something colder than frost.

But after a while, he didn't feel the slightest cold, only some wet touch, and it was clear that this was ordinary fog.

Lilith on the side saw that her vision was obscured, and she directly flapped her wings to disperse the fog.

Only then could the emir see what was behind the door, it was actually a stone wall, and if there was anything special, it was only the colorful murals on it.

He couldn't help but be surprised, after all, the door was normally supposed to be the entrance to another dimension, but it turned out to be a strange stone wall.

However, the most important thing now is not this, seeing this scene, Emir finally fell into real despair, and now he really can't get out.

"Emir, what do you see on the mural?" Lilith said suddenly.

"Well, when has this been, and I still have the heart to look at the mural," said Emile angrily, perhaps realizing that his attitude was not good, and he said softly, "I'm sorry, let me be quiet, okay?" ”

Lilith didn't care, and then forcibly twisted his neck in front of the mural.

"Let's take a look first."

Only then did Emile realize that Lilith was not joking, and he took a closer look at the mural, and found that it was painted with a large number of creatures of various shapes, and to be precise, all of them were monsters, several of which he had actually seen.

"It's ......"

"Look at this, didn't we meet in battle?" Lilith gestured to the humanoid creature in the middle.

Emir also saw that it was Allison, who had fought in Blackpool Town, and his image in the painting was larger than the other monsters, with a golden halo around the edges, and if he continued to look to the side, he could see eight monsters with similar images.

They formed a circle, and in the center were four taller humanoid monsters, dressed in armor of different colors and holding the four elements, which were undoubtedly the four Dark Knights.

And these dark knights also formed a small circle, and the emir subconsciously felt that there should be the demon king in the middle.

However, as his gaze lingered on the position large enough for one person, the Emir could not help but wonder if it was empty, except for a stone chair with a high back.

"What about the Demon King?" Lilith couldn't help but speak.

“…… That's right, why don't you see the Demon King? The emir scratched his head.

But he quickly realized that now was not the time to think about this, and he had to take advantage of the last time to summarize his short life.

Lilith knew she couldn't get an answer, so she looked at the mural and continued to be in a daze.

However, it was this idle and boring act that forced her to notice the tiny pattern on the back of the stone chair, like an eye.

"Emir, come and see here."

"Oh, I've said it all, let me walk quietly?" The attitude of the emir became unceremonious.

Lilith didn't get angry with him, but lifted him up and put him in front of the mural.

“……”

Emile was speechless, not understanding what Lilith was mad about.

But he didn't have the heart to resist now, so he had to look up at the mural again, and only after a glance did he realize the problem, because the eye pattern was emitting a faint light.

It was hard to spot from a distance, but at this point, Lilith pressed his head very close to the mural.

"This eye seems to be glowing."

"yes, what do you think?" Lilith asked casually.

"What do I think? Shine and shine, what's the matter with me? The emir huffed, then sneered at her, "Hehe, do you think that we can escape after you understand this?" ”

"......" Lilith stared at him silently, then suddenly slapped him onto the mural with a cold paw, and then said, "Is it frozen stupid and still not sober?" I've heard that a concussion can bring you back to your senses, so let's just keep banging you until you're awake. ”

"Hey, you're taking revenge on me, aren't you?" Emir was immediately angry, "Yes, I caused you to be a burden, but since it has happened, what else can we do, it is better to sum up our lives like me." ”

Seeing his menacing appearance, Lilith's eyes darkened, she didn't expect Emir to really fall into despair.

"I'm sorry, it looks like my master will never come back."

Hearing this, the emir couldn't help but be stunned, he was silent for a while, and suddenly gave himself a slap.

The sound startled even Lilith and asked with concern.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, I'm such a fool, and I've become negative unconsciously." The emir smiled wryly.

"It's all right, so do I," Lilith shook her head, and said solemnly, "but when I think back to my master, I will never fall into despair. ”

“…… Is that so? Touched by the emir, he immediately made a decision, "I'm sorry, Lilith, for worrying you, but rest assured, your master is now in front of you." ”

"Well," Lilith suddenly became excited, and then asked solemnly, "so what do you think this eye pattern means?" ”

“…… Well, don't ask me such a tricky question right away. Emir couldn't help but complain.

Then he discarded distractions and began to study the mural carefully.

There is no doubt that this mural is introducing the various classes of the demon race, different from the three general divisions of human beings into monsters, and the classification here is probably more authoritative, after all, this is the different space of Cornes, and the creator of this mural must be a monster.

The outermost part of the mural is an ordinary monster, and a little bit inside are the eight demon gods, whose status is higher than that of ordinary monsters, and the one with a higher status than them is the Dark Knight, and the Dark Knight is surrounded by the Demon King.

But the position of the Demon King was vacant, and there was only one slightly closed eye on the throne, from which a faint light emanated.

The Emir could guess what it meant, that is, the Demon King had not yet awakened, and this was different from the status quo.

The one he saw outside Baifeng Town that day was the Demon King, but he was later betrayed by Cornes and all his power was taken away.

In short, no matter what the process is, the ending is that the Demon King wakes up smoothly and is then killed by Cornes, which is not at all what is depicted now.

However, the mural is likely to be from a few hundred years ago, as evidenced by its mottled and faded appearance.

Thinking of this, Emir couldn't help but touch that eye with his fingers, and with it, a wave of power poured into his body.

He noticed something strange and quickly withdrew his hand, but when he looked into his eyes again, he couldn't help but be surprised, because the eye actually opened.

Obviously it was just a small pattern, but Emir always felt that the gaze of that eye hit the depths of his heart, and he suddenly felt a chill, and subconsciously retreated.

"What's wrong?" Lilith hurriedly asked.

"No, nothing? Let's leave the murals alone. The Emir looked away, his expression suddenly worried.

Lilith immediately saw that something was wrong, but she did not dare to ask out loud, for she had never seen the expression on Emir's face now.

At the same time, the fresco's movement did not end there.

The eyes that opened began to become brighter, and when I looked closely, I realized that the colors of the whole painting became more and more vivid, and the eyes were the center, gradually spreading around, and after a while, it seemed to return to the original time.

"Look, Emir." Lilith looked at the sudden change with horror in her eyes.

This time the emir did not refuse, and when he saw these changes, he could not help but be even more sorrowful, for this was the worst possibility he had guessed.

He knew that the current Demon King and the Dark Knight were actually humans at first, and later after breaking into the ruins of the Demon Race, they all became monsters.

Now he realized that those humans were likely to encounter this situation after entering the demon ruins.

As much as he kept thinking about other possibilities, there was always a voice in his head that he was about to become the new Demon King.

"No, it can't be!" The emir muttered under his breath.

He became more and more agitated, and finally couldn't help but throw a punch on the mural, but a strong suction force suddenly controlled his hand, and before he could react, the whole person was sucked into the mural.

Lilith tried to catch him, but she didn't have time, and then she noticed that there was an extra person on the throne in the middle of the mural, and it was the Emir.

"How so."

Lilith was shocked, but then, she was also sucked into the mural, her eyes blackened, and she lost consciousness in an instant.

It didn't take long for her to open her eyes, and she was greeted by a blue sky, a large complex of buildings below, and not far away, a huge steel giant stood on the grassland.

There was no doubt that she had escaped from the alien dimension of Cones, and her first instinct was to search for the Emir's whereabouts, until she saw the other man lying at her feet.

"Emir, what's wrong with you?" Lucius saw them appear and rushed over.

At this time, the emir also awoke, and rubbed his sleepy eyes, which seemed to have been asleep for a long time.

"Cornes is dead." The emir's tone was indifferent.

"Really? That's great," Lucius said with a heartfelt delight, but then asked, "But, didn't you enter that giant's body before?" How did it appear here again. ”

Emir didn't hide it, and directly told him about his experience after entering the Yongdao, except for the fact that he sat in the position of the demon king in the mural, and Lilith on the side also kept silent with understanding.

"I see."

"But," the emir suddenly suggested, "I'd better take a look at the cockpit just to be on the safe side." ”

"I'm going too." Lucius immediately volunteered.

After all, it was to witness the death of such a difficult enemy, and anyone had to confirm it for themselves, and the emir agreed.

So, the two, accompanied by Lilith, entered the corridor again.

Surprisingly, there was no gate at the end of the corridor, but it led directly to the cockpit.

The emir cautiously walked around to the stone chair and found Cornes lying on it, his chest undulating, presumably dead.

Maybe it was just that his soul was drained, and Cornes' stand-in didn't come to replace him immediately, but it was only a matter of time, and the only way was to destroy the place where he was raising his stand-in as soon as possible.

This could be left to Agnes, and he cared more about the girl in the black cage now.

"It's you, Elena."

"Hehe, it seems that I guessed correctly, and it was you who saved the world." Elena smiled.

"Hmph, what's your intention?" The emir remembered the last time, so he was unceremonious to her.

"It's nothing, I'm waiting for you to give me the final blow, but before that, I have to give you a piece of advice, although you save the world now, sooner or later it will be destroyed in your hands."

"Huh?" Lucius couldn't help but sneer, "The initiator who tried to destroy the world really would sue the wicked first." ”

Emir stared into Elena's eyes, and he knew that he had been seen through by the other party.

"Hearing you say that, I still have room to save it."

"Who knows? The answer to this question is up to you. ”

Hearing her say this, Emir became worried again, he never thought that one day he would be his enemy.

……

A few days later, the battle-hardened royal capital began to be rebuilt, and the matter quickly unfolded under the command of Agnes, who won a great deal of popular support in the process, and the nobles agreed that her becoming the next king was a foregone conclusion.

Byron, who was also well aware of current affairs, ran directly to Agnes and kissed her as a sign of submission and withdrawal from the competition.

"I've really lost sight of myself over the years," said Agnes with a smile, "and you're a very talented man. ”

"Hehe, you better don't entertain me." Byron couldn't help but smile wryly.

"No, I'm serious," Agnes quickly resumed her seriousness and continued, "How's that?" Do you want to help me? Fame, status and wealth will never be missing from you. ”

Byron hesitated for a moment, but shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, if you can, can you let me be the city lord of Baifeng Town?"

"Oh? That's it, it's too condescending. Agnes was slightly surprised.

She thought that Byron still couldn't let go of her aristocratic status, but she didn't expect to just serve as a small city lord.

"You misunderstood, I promised Ophelia ......"

Subsequently, he told the story of the Ophelia family and said that he must personally fulfill his promise.

“…… Well, well," Agnes agreed, but suddenly changed her tune, "you don't want to let go of the nobles who framed House Taranka?" ”

"This ...... I'll have to ask Ophelia, but with her character, she will definitely do it herself, and I'm afraid it will cause you trouble again. ”

"No, no, those guys who framed Zhongliang are the cancer of the empire, even I won't let them go, in short, you just let Ophelia come to me for help."

"Well, then I'll thank you for her." Byron expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Eventually, the conversation ended in a cheerful atmosphere, and Agnes personally escorted Byron out of the newly built palace.

On the streets of the royal capital, the emir walked with a hesitant face, in stark contrast to the people around him who were enthusiastic about the reconstruction work.

After a while, he heard the voices of Anne and Cosette, and quickly recovered his countenance and ran towards them.

"Emir, do you see Ophelia?"

"No," said the emir, shaking his head, casually asking, "is there anything to do with her?" ”

“…… Uh, you won't forget, will you? Her Royal Highness Agnes said that there would be a celebration banquet tonight. Anne looked at him in disbelief.

"Yes, is that so? Anyway, I haven't seen Ophelia in days. The emir scratched his head, a little overwhelmed.

Anne saw his predicament and consulted with Cosette.

"In this way, you go to His Highness's palace first, and the two of us will look for her slowly, anyway, there is still a long time before the banquet begins."

"Oh."

The emir replied casually, and walked towards the gate of the royal capital.

"Hey, it's the other way around." Cosette hurriedly stopped him.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

"What's wrong with you? It's listless, it's been like that since the end of that fight. Anne asked with concern.

"No, nothing." The emir said a perfunctory word, turned and left.

Looking at his lonely figure, Anne suddenly shouted loudly.

"Whatever becomes of you, Emir, we will be on your side, because we are friends."

"Huh, friend?" Cosette burst out laughing, "I see that you and the Emir are more than just friends. ”

"Oh, what nonsense." Anne was furious.

"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, I apologize." Cosette didn't argue with her anymore, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

Emile walked on, and after listening to Anne, he finally felt no longer lonely in his heart.

He had no doubt that even if he really became a demon king, Annie and the others would definitely help him get through it.
