"It doesn't matter if Aqiman stays there for the time being, the demon must have some bigger plans in the Chancellor's Palace, and he shouldn't do anything to the archmage at will. The demon comforted himself, but he couldn't suppress his fear, and no one in the dark passage could see the panicked expression on the demon's face except the gray dwarves.

Staying in the Chancellor's House was the Archmage's own idea. On the one hand, you can keep an eye on the chances of the Minister of State and the demon behind the Minister of State, and on the other hand, if the Dungeon Lord continues to stay in the Secretary of State's Palace, some unforeseen situations may occur. Attacking one's own kind is a very popular pastime for demons, especially on the continent of Vesta.

The demons are very aware of the habits of their own kind from the Abyss Demon Domain, and if it is not driven by great profits, or the summoning of a powerful magic array, the demons will not bother to meddle in the affairs of the ground, and even the demons would prefer to stay in the Abyss Demon Domain and tirelessly attack their own kind, such behavior can make the demons obtain greater satisfaction and pleasure. As for the other demon that appeared in the Chancellor's Palace, it was not so much that he came in response to the Chancellor's call, and the Dungeon Lord believed that his kind had come to Onyx City according to his own will, but he happened to meet the Chancellor with a summoning magic array on his body.

The demons are the best at prescribing all kinds of tempting conditions to lure people's hearts to the depravity, and what kind of conditions does the demon who manipulates the Chancellor have on the Chancellor? The purpose of that demon is naturally the Book of the Moon, but what means will he use to obtain the Book of the Moon from the Dungeon Lord and Archmage Aqiman? This is a question worth pondering, and the demon Amtils decided to do so before the election of the Emperor of the Holy Asser. Think about the problems and solutions.

Edgar, the halfling elder of the Thieves' Guild. Ignored the demons who behaved strangely. There was something more disturbing at the moment. In the past few days, the Elder has ordered most of the remaining members of the Thieves' Guild in Onyx City to leave, and the nearby countryside should be a good place for them to stay temporarily, on the one hand, Elder Edgar is also silently watching the situation in the national parliament, especially the murder of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his mansion two days ago, which may have cast a big shadow on the election of the emperor this time.

Hearing that Prince Yagu Crane would support the death of his chancellor of the Exchequer, he blamed his brother, Prince Verdor Crane, and the Blood Griffin Knights have also challenged the Knights of Light several times in the past few days. Count Brad Klein did not express any opinion of his own, except for ordering the Dragon's Tooth Knights to take control of the situation.

And even more of a headache for the halflings was the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, Count Brad Klein. The Dragontooth Knights patrol Onyx City day and night, and with the magic detectors dotted the streets, they look like they are facing a great enemy, and the Elder's men report that the Dragontooth Knights have re-excavated the remains of the Thieves' Guild headquarters on Twin Trees Street and found the sewers where the Elder had escaped, which made Edgar even more anxious.

There were countless holes in the sewers that led to the ground, and it was not easy to find the holes that the Elder had made, and the Elder had told his brother, Eder, the cook of the Sunflower Inn, to clean up all traces of what they had been in the kitchen. Theoretically, there should be no problem, the elder thought. But suddenly he heard the sound of the anvil hidden in the entrance to the basement in his weapons shop upstairs being removed.

"Edgar!" With a crisp and loud voice, Edel, the younger brother of the elder of the Thieves' Guild and halfling cook, appeared at the door of the room.

After several days of recuperation in the Chancellor's Palace, Archmage Aqiman never met the Chancellor's wife, Princess Seary Klein. The Minister of State himself came to visit the Archmage every day, but he never revealed his true intentions in hiding the Archmage and the members of the Thieves' Guild in his home. Because of his acquaintance with the dark elf Nia, hiding the murderer of the emperor, this is actually not too reasonable reason, but the archmage does not want to expose the excuse of the Minister of State to his face, and Aqiman guesses that this is only due to the instructions of the demon behind the Minister of State.

In any case, after all, the Book of the Moon is still in the hands of Aqiman. As soon as Aqiman recovered enough to get out of bed, he had already re-stored the Book of the Moon in his magic pocket, which made the archmage feel more at ease. According to the Secretary of State, the Book of the Moon fell out of Aqiman's pocket after the Dark Elf Nia led them to the Chancellor's House, and the Archmage believed that the Chancellor had taken the Book of the Moon to try to understand how to activate the power of the Book of the Moon.

"If they did trigger the energy of the Book of Moon, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a chance to wake up. The archmage thought, but Aqiman wasn't too worried. In the past two days, Aqiman has done several practical things in private, and found that it seems that only the dark magic power that belongs to the necromancer can resonate with the Book of the Moon, thus triggering the energy of the Book of the Moon. However, this is not too much of a problem, Akiman suspects that the Chancellor and the demon who instructed him want to use him, and the Dungeon Lord and Demon Amtils to get back the remaining keys necessary to open the Book of the Moon, and the gems set in the armor of the three knights are not as easy to get hold of as the Book of the Moon in the Emperor's hand or the obsidian in the hands of the President of the Thieves' Guild, so the demon behind the Chancellor will cause even more chaos in Onyx.

The Archmage had heard of the horrific bloody incident that had taken place in the Chancellor's Palace, and had heard that Prince Agu Crane had led the Blood Griffin Knights to settle accounts with his brother, but was stopped by Count Brad Crane, who had arrived with the Dragon's Tooth Knights.

"The head of the Blood Gryphon Knights is really a simple-minded fellow. But since Earl Brad Klein has stopped him, the devil behind the Chancellor will surely act again tonight, or tomorrow morning. "Archmage Aqiman knew that his prediction would not be bad, because tomorrow morning, the lords from all over the world would vote on the island of the goddess of fate in Onyx City. to decide the next emperor. Whether it's Prince Verdor Klein or Prince Jacco Crane.

"Tomorrow. Well, just do as you say. The Secretary of State, Baron Wesley Rueda, sat at his desk and whispered these words.

In front of Baron Wesley Ruda was a rather small silver amulet, made in the shape of a ring of six-pointed stars, with countless magical words engraved on it. At this moment, a dark red light was enveloping the charm, and there seemed to be a hint of blood wafting in the air.

"You're responsible for revealing a little bit of information to that mage anyway. so that he may take the jewel in our place. I'll arrange the rest. A tactful and crisp voice came from the pendant.

The Minister of State was not surprised by this, as if such a conversation had been carried out countless times, but the Secretary of State did not know until now who had spoken to him through the ornament.

"Don't worry, everything is in the accusation, and there will be more exciting bloody cases tomorrow. The voice in the charm continued.

But the Minister of State did not have the confidence that the voice expressed: "Is it really going to be so smooth......?

The voice in the charm is full of temptation: "No ifs, Secretary of State. You've come to this point, think of the incalculable glory and wealth you're going to get, and the status. ”

"But. I'm still worried about ......."

"Nothing to worry about. The emperor is dead, as long as the other heirs are removed. The next emperor will not fall to someone else. I have other things to prepare, you just have to do what you are responsible for. The light that hung over the ornament was gone.

Baron Wesley Rueda silently hung the charm back on his chest, then got up and walked to his bedroom.

"Isis, are things all arranged?"

It was Count Brad Klein who spoke, and though his hair and beard were as neat as ever, anyone could clearly see the bloodshot green eyes all over his eyes. In the past week, all kinds of events and changes have made it difficult for the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights to sleep peacefully at night.

"Yes, sir. The knights are all ready and should be able to deal with any unexpected situation. Isis, the superior knight, stood straight in front of the Count, and the fatigue of the days did not bend his waist even the slightest. "Both princes have our knights on duty outside their mansions. ”

The Earl was quite satisfied with his subordinates, and turned to face the leader of the mage group in the Dragon's Tooth Knights, the mage Hess: "Is that place already under your surveillance, Hess?"

Hess, hiding in the shadows and staring at the crystal ball in front of him, raised his head and faced his knight leader: "Yes. But, my lord, are we really not going to deal with them immediately?"

"No, I really don't want any more horrible events to disturb the minds of the lords before tomorrow's vote. In two days, my sword can't wait to drink their blood, but now, it's not the time. Count Brad Klein stared at his sword.

For days, in addition to trying to maintain order in Onyx City, the Dragontooth Knights have been constantly searching for any clues about the Thieves' Guild, and the mages have been keeping an eye on every magic detector on the street. But there was no trace of the devil at all, and the only catch was the entrance to the sewer found in the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild.

However, the Count did not intend to immediately hunt down the escaped members of the Thieves' Guild, and tomorrow he was going to vote for the next Emperor of the Holy Asserr Empire, and the relationship between the two cousins was even more troubling for the Earl. After the Chancellor of the Exchequer was killed, Prince Jacques Klein tried to find his brother several times, believing that his brother had instructed the superior knights of the Knights of Light to assassinate him. It took a lot of effort for the earl to convince the irascible Prince Jacques Crane that this might be a third-party ploy to get the two princes to kill each other, but despite the temporary suppression of the idea of killing the Church of the Green Leaves, Prince Argus Klein's half-belief still worried Count Brad Klein.

The Count sighed softly: "Lena bless! I hope that tomorrow will vote smoothly, and nothing will happen before then." Isis, Hess, go and rest. I'm afraid there's more to do tomorrow. ”

Tonight. I'm afraid in everyone's heart. It's going to feel like it's going to be a long time.

The demon Amtils felt a familiar, seductive aura in the air.

This kind of aura is quite common in the demon's hometown, the Abyssal Demon Realm, and usually, after a demon has set some vicious traps, it will release the same aura to lure its own kind, and then wait quietly for the trap to be triggered. And at this moment, behind this aura of Onyx City, is there any trap hidden?

The demon didn't have to think about it to know that this breath was coming at him. If I'm not mistaken, there are only two demons in Agate City right now. The other party wants to find out Amtils. The demon didn't intend to risk stepping into some unknown trap and follow this breath to find his own kind, maybe it would be a better idea to lure the other person over.

The demon pulled a pitch-black piece of wood from his body and whispered a incantation, which was immediately ignited and a tiny puff of smoke emanated into the surrounding air. The smoke would lure another demon from Onyx City to Amtils, so the demon Amtils placed the wooden block under the dark passageway, and waited for the kind of demon to come.

The demon's wait didn't take much time. Even though there was hardly any light source in the passage, the demon could clearly see a dark cloud of smoke suddenly rising from the wooden blocks on the ground. Then the black smoke that filled the passage began to retract again, and a slender figure gradually emerged in the black mist. Before the demon could speak, the figure in the black mist had already shouted loudly in its crisp and moving voice:

"O cunning Queso, I have met the cowardly Amtils here. What a surprising discovery!"

Urso is the so-called god of demons. However, in the Abyssal Demon Realm, no demon worships him, and no demon tries to contact and obtain the will of Xor. Queso, in the eyes of his people, was nothing more than an object of ridicule, and the demons never had the status of a god in their minds. The demon Amtils, who had grown up in the Abyssal Demon Realm, was naturally familiar with the name of the disrespected god, but he was even more familiar with the name of the demon in front of him, who had fully revealed his body and tried to stretch his wings in the narrow passage.

"Lilith, I thought I'd meet that demonic nobleman worthy of respect!" Amtils beckoned, and the wood on the ground immediately extinguished and jumped back into the dungeon lord's hand.

"I am not worthy of your respect, Amtils, unlike you, who do not even know your father's name, I am a true nobleman of pure Tanari blood. Lilith looked at the environment in the passage, "No matter what, you are always my cousin by blood. It was surprising that Amtils, who had half demonic aristocratic blood, would appear in such a place. ”

"Do you have any opinion about my ancestry?" Amtils has always been sensitive to comments about pedigree. Or maybe it's because half of his body is not of demonic blood, so Amtils is not very comfortable with the violence, greed, and fickleness that prevail in the Abyssal Realm. As a result, Amtils earned the title of Coward, and was forced to leave the Abyssal Demon Realm and wander on the unfamiliar continent of Vesta.

Lilith didn't intend to confront her cousin directly, as the story of Amtils summoning a terrifying dragon to their village in the Abyssal Realm thirty years ago was still etched in her mind. "Oh, I didn't mean that, my dear cousin. I just didn't expect to see you here, so many of my plans may need to be changed a little. ”

"Plan?"

"Yes, I didn't know that it was my blood relatives who were fighting with me. But since we share the same last name, why not think about working together, which would allow everyone to get the most out of it. Lilith's face was covered with a sweet smile, and her expression of longing was overflowing. However, Amtils was well aware of the hypocrisy of his own kind, and the dungeon lord decided to listen to his cousin's plan first.

"Yes, the meaning of cooperation is the betrayal after the purpose has been accomplished, isn't it? If you guessed correctly, the address of the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild is the one you asked the Minister of State to sue the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, right?"

"My dear cousin, I didn't know you were there. The best way to dispel suspicions that might extend to that young man is to create the greatest amount of chaos, isn't it?Besides, the obsidian is in hand, and the thieves' guild has no other use, so it is better to eliminate it quickly, lest it cause an unplanned hindrance to me. "The young man in Lilith's mouth will not be chosen by anyone other than Isaac. The death of the president of the thieves' guild at her behest, would have had a lot of good for Lilith, or for the Secretary of State: Lilith had obtained the obsidian, and the Secretary of State had removed a potential obstacle.

"So, you want to put the dead emperor's daughter on the throne?"

"This was the purpose of the foolish baron, who thought that by becoming the empress of his wife, he would attain the highest position. I don't care who the emperor of this empire is, I just want the Book of the Moon, and the key to open it. Lilith's words were clear, and her targets included the amethyst on the armor of the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, Count Brad Crane, in addition to the two princes.

Amtils did not doubt his cousin's words, and the throne of an empire on earth meant little to the demon: "How will you, then, obtain the other three gems, and what place will me and my men occupy in your plans?"

"I really didn't expect it to be my cousin who helped me break into the castle and get the Book of the Moon out, even though I saw you at the time. I would have liked Isaac to steal the Book of the Moon from that necromancer, and then have the Dragontooth Knights who surrounded the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild erase all traces for me. Lilith sighed softly and continued, "But now that you and your men are safe, I don't feel guilty about trying to kill my blood relatives. I don't know what you and the mage want the Book of the Moon for, but I, your cousin's only wish, is to see if the puzzle inside can stump a demon. ”

Amtils felt a lot of cold sweat break out on his back, the word guilt actually appeared in the demon's mouth, it seemed that his cousin really didn't take the dungeon lord seriously, and even forgot that Amtils himself was born in the abyss demon realm full of lies and deceit. There is no doubt that the purpose of Lilith's current rhetoric is to make Amtils and Archmage Akiman exert more effort and help her in her plan, and the end result will definitely be that Lilith will leave with the Book of the Moon, and the demons and mages of the dungeon will find nothing.

But there's always a solution, Amtils believes. He didn't trust his cousin at all, but he didn't rule out working with another demon for the time being: "So Lilith, what is your plan?"

Lilith has a mysterious smile on her face: "...... tomorrow" (to be continued......
