The dark and deep underground realm is like an anthill, with countless twisted veins spreading in the earth in all directions.

At the heart of this "anthill" is a vast hall.

At this time, the hall was full of people.

A large number of apostles in gray cloaks were busy around several large serpentine corpses, some observing with magnifying glasses, others constantly carving patterns on the surface, as if arranging some kind of ritual.

A mysterious man in a black cloak and a mask is sitting on a tall throne in the depths of the hall.

He is greedy.

Originally, greed was looking down on everything below, but now, he was distracted by a piece of news.

"Success?" His tone was surprised.

"Yes."

A deep voice replied.

It was a very sloppy-looking minotaur monster, brown and black skin, tall and strong, compared to the image of greed at the moment, it was extremely powerful.

But at this time, the monster was kneeling at its feet, and looked very deferential.

"Count Carman has locked up his target in the dungeon at the moment, and has carefully determined that it is Andy himself."

"But how can it be so easy?"

Greed is strange about this.

was framed before, which made him very embarrassed.

It's impossible to determine who framed him, but he suspects that it has something to do with the human named Andy.

After all, his apostle had been eyeing Andy for a long time, and he clearly knew that there were many oddities in Andy's person.

And more than a month ago, the coming of that trial can also be attributed to Andy - if it wasn't for Andy deliberately taking a plane, how could he have paid attention to the dark forest and then suffered heavy losses?

So although there is no evidence, in anger, he still ordered a henchman to carry out a kidnapping operation.

However, the order is the order, and he has no hope for the success of this matter.

When you calm down, you even forget about it.

The reason is simple, with the protection of that archangel, it is impossible for his henchmen to tie people to their hands, and even the chance of getting close is very low.

However, right now, this impossible thing has happened......

He took a crystal ball from the Minotaur's hand and struck it twice, revealing a young man imprisoned in a dimly lit dungeon.

Leaning against the corner of the cell rock wall, the boy hung his head and couldn't see his expression, but it was Andy who was right.

I asked carefully about the details of the kidnapping process, and I didn't find anything unusual.

So greed has a judgment on this.

"It's a trap."

Treasures that are easy to obtain often contain dangers, and no one understands this truth better than him.

So, after snorting softly, he said to the minotaur at his feet, "I'm not going to go and tell Kaman to interrogate him, and then report back to me after figuring out everything that started with York." ”

The minotaur respectfully said yes, and then got up and left.

The greedy gaze looked back at the busy group of apostles under the throne.

Or rather, he looked at the serpentine corpses surrounded by the apostles.

"You guys just grab it here slowly, what kind of bullshit arrogant authority, I'm not uncommon."

He thought with a sneer.

Others don't know that he was framed, and they think that he has the upper hand in the power struggle.

But he knew what was going on.

Not only is it clear, but he also knows that if he stays, he will be besieged sooner or later.

Therefore, he has completely lost the heart of fighting for arrogant authority.

In fact, the idea of quitting was already growing before he was framed this time.

Because he faintly smelled something wrong.

That's why he took a group of apostles and went to the dark forest.

The corpses of ancient snakes that can create the Dark Forest are a source of pollution that has a bad impact on the angels.

But for him, it was a treasure worth studying.

Getting this treasure in your hands, not to mention that it can make up for your own losses, is also somewhat of a comfort-

This is already the lowest "bottom line" for him, who usually does not take advantage of him.

If he really wants to quit in embarrassment without gaining anything, then he will probably die of depression.

Therefore, when others were chasing the power of pride and lies, he instead hit the idea on the ancient snake that no one cared about.

I thought that this kind of retreat was unlikely to be unexpected.

But the result was like a slap in the face, knocking him out in an instant.

"But it doesn't matter, then Adanielle can't protect you for the rest of your life."

Stroking the guard of the throne, greedily muttered, "Sooner or later you will fall into my hands, crying and begging to tell me which mongrel is framing me......"

……

"What is His Majesty the Demon King going to do?"

In a remote cavern far from the hall, several apostles were sitting on the ground, using their characteristic knives to handle some earth-stained herbs.

Guy, who had previously participated in the search of the Dark Forest, was busy cutting off the roots of the herbs in his hand when he turned his head sideways to ask his friend Robin next to him.

"I don't know."

A friend named Robin replied, with a dull voice, a face covered with layers of bandages, and a hooded cloak, looking very sneaky.

But this kind of image was actually very common among the apostles.

Because their power comes from their respective demonic masters, and demonic power is not something that human bodies can fully adapt.

Some apostles who are well aligned with their masters will not be bothered by this. But it is not so matched, after gaining demonic power, there will be various "complications".

The whole body is ulcerated, pus-draining, and foul-smelling, which is one of the most obvious of these.

In this case, you need to wrap yourself tightly to avoid making a fool of yourself and to avoid disgusting others.

"Also, who can guess what that great being thinks." Guy nodded, but his face was smug.

"But it doesn't matter if you can't guess, it's only important that we're close to Your Majesty now."

It's actually an honor.

Because usually, it was impossible for an apostle like them to get close to a demon king.

Only the descendants of the Demon King have this qualification.

But now, after the death of a large number of colleagues and the shortage of manpower, their status has been greatly improved.

is already qualified to approach and do things for the Demon King himself.

For example, the treatment of herbs at the moment.

"I guess it has something to do with the struggle for authority."

An apostle next to him continued: "They said that Your Majesty has an advantage now, but if you want to keep it up, you need to do something more." ”

"So, do something?"

"I don't know, maybe it's trying to summon the main body to come?"

"Isn't Your Majesty the main body now?"

"How could it come so casually......"

Chatting as if chatting, the working hours passed quickly.

After a busy day, I was finally able to rest.

After processing the herbs, the group of apostles made an appointment to go to the game hall specially built by the Demon King for the apostles to play.

Guy is one of them.

But halfway through, he suddenly found that his friend Robin, who was supposed to come with him, had disappeared inexplicably.

"It's weird."

He muttered to himself, "Why has that guy been mysterious?" ”

It's suspicious.

But as an apostle of the demon, the mystery of the gods didn't seem to be a special thing, so Guy was relieved in an instant.

However, after such a delay, he fell behind a group of people.

The rest time was limited, Guy didn't think much about it, and was about to speed up his pace to catch up, when a figure caught glimpse out of the corner of his eye made him stunned.

"A deer?"

He was stunned.

But before he could react, it suddenly went dark in front of him, and then he didn't know anything!

In the last few days, there may have only been two shifts, friends
