When High Priest Tada was summoned to the Great Stone Temple, the Demon King Dusk had already paced in front of the throne for an unknown number of laps.

The busyness of the night could not soothe his restless mood in the slightest, and he stayed in the dungeon for most of the night, absent-minded throughout the whole time, and was finally persuaded by Modo to go out.

It's all to blame Tianpo's suggestion for being too tempting, and he thought darkly.

If he doesn't, he'll have to worry about it all the time.

The Demon King was by no means the kind of person who liked to suffer from himself, and when he realized the desire of his heart, he immediately summoned Tada to him.

He cleared his throat and said casually, "Is the bone-in chip here?" Take a hexagram for me. ”

Unexpectedly, such a reserved sentence immediately made Tada under the throne smile:

"Ah, is it about Lord Lanmuir? Oh, my king's court is finally going to have a queen......"

Dusk: !???

"Hu ...... Sling the bull!! ”

It was rare for the demon king to lose his temper in front of his subordinates, and he was annoyed and angry, "Tada! I think you're trying to swallow flint-"

Is it that obvious, is it!

Not only Tianpo, but even Tada can see it, so is it really that obvious!

Obviously, the Demon King's sharp mouth is useless. After all, the relationship between him and Lanmuir is almost unknown to the entire royal court. Forcibly rebutting is simply self-inflicted.

It didn't take long for Faint to be defeated by Tada's kind eyes, and he responded with a hum.

But there is one thing to clarify.

Dim Yao cleared his throat: "Ahem, it's not a marriage proposal." ”

Tada still looked at him kindly.

Dusk: "......"

Damn, what are you doing, it's really not!

What he wants to occupy is obviously "If he returns his mana to Lanmuir, will he be slaughtered by that guy" - this is about the life and death of the king of the royal court, very serious!

Tada put on an unfathomable expression of "I understand, you don't have to say", "Hey, it doesn't matter what you occupy, it's enough for my king to be firm in his own mind." ”

The old priest's scales and claws groped left and right in his robe, and he took out his favorite bone chip, and asked, "But what kind of occupation does my king want?" ”

- Tada's divination technique is second to none not only in the royal court, but also in the entire abyss.

He occupies the "year" and can count the coldest days of the year; Occupy "whether", which can approach the truth in the fog; Accounting for "good luck and evil" can judge whether a thing can be achieved or not.

As for this time......

Dusk Yao thought for a moment and said, "Then take advantage of the good fortune and avoid the disaster." ”

Tada let out an "ah" and looked at the king with some surprise.

The name "Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil" sounds similar to "Fortune and Evil", but it is actually quite different. When the priest prays for mercy on the fate of the underworld, the bone chip leads the soothsayer to peek into the future: either to a chance or to avoid a disaster.

This is no longer in the category of "fortune telling", but is closer to the great spell of "changing lives", and only the old Tada has mastered this divination in the entire royal court.

What is particularly important is that the technique of "seeking good fortune and avoiding evil" can only be divined once in a lifetime for each demon.

Dusk Yao is still young and vigorous, and the royal court is also thriving, how could he think of coming to occupy this?

However, the Demon King did not distinguish between joy and anger on his face, and calmly looked at the old priest in surprise.

The old priest seemed to see through something, and nodded slowly: "It seems that my king has made up his mind, and Tada obeys his orders." ”

There was no one around, and Tada knelt under the throne and lined up the hundred bone chips.

According to the custom, he took one of them first, which means "leaving a glimmer of life". The rest of the bone chips were arranged in a circle, and Tada sliced his forehead with his claws, and his throat let out a high voice of "woolu" and "alu", and his feet chattered to strange beats, dancing in the night.

When the blood from the old priest's forehead flowed to his jaw, he recited an ancient incantation in his mouth, and cautiously poured the demonic breath into his bones.

Ninety-nine milky white bone fragments were contaminated with mysterious power and slowly floated into the air!

They leap fast and slowly, encircling the dim light on the throne in the center.

Tada's voice came slowly:

"There are ninety-nine bone chips here, when their rotation stops, please choose one according to your heart, pour your magic breath into it, and the spell can connect to the heavens."

"But my king must remember one sentence. The bone chip can only peek into the corner of fate, and the cause and effect are unknown. Therefore, no one knows what the specific method of 'seeking good fortune and avoiding evil' is. ”

"Whatever my king sees...... Don't be obsessed. ”

"Got it," Dusk Flare closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the throne, "Don't worry, I won't take your divination time to heart anyway." ”

Tada bowed: "In this case, the old man retreated first." ”

The old priest then withdrew from the Great Stone Hall.

It was deserted and empty, and the demon king, who had always been decisive in killing, closed his eyes and stared, lowered his eyebrows and clasped his palms, sat on the throne and silently recited the ancient sacrificial words of the demon clan, and actually had a bit of piety.

He sometimes thought about the seven years with Ranmuir, and sometimes he thought about the future at a loss.

I don't know how long it took, but the tinkling of the bone chips stopped.

Dizzy opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to the bone chip that was quietly levitating in front of him—

He didn't bother to choose, so he directly took the one in the middle and poured the demon breath into it.

Suddenly, the bone chip shone brightly, and the remaining ninety-eight also emitted a faint light to echo it, and finally joined into a mysterious spell-like line of light.

The dim light was taken as a headshot, and I only felt that my eyes were white and bright, as if I was going blind.

There was also a strange confusion in my mind.

It's like falling into a dream, and it's like swallowing a poisonous hallucinogenic fungus, everything is distorted and blurred.

In the confusion, those white lights seemed to turn into flying snowflakes, and the throne under him turned into a craggy stone wall, and the scene of a cold winter snow-capped mountain unfolded in front of him.

Lanmuir stood at the end of the cliff, his white robes flying.

But that's not the demon king knows at all.,Quiet and gentle human slave.。 Ranmuir's body was surrounded by a terrifying demonic breath, and new scales climbed up his cheeks, and the black flames engulfed the flying snowflakes, reflecting the man like a demon god.

"Lan ......!?"

It was as if he had been hit with a hammer in his heart, and he was at a loss for a while. He opened his mouth to shout, but he couldn't.

The hallucinations are getting more and more distorted, more and more treacherous...... He seems to be hugging Lanmuir, but he doesn't seem to be there. Only the snow was falling and obscuring the view. First the wind, then the wind.

Suddenly, Dim felt a lightness on his waist.

A slender and pale palm drew his bronze saber!

Suddenly, the light of the snow illuminated the unsheathed blade. Dim couldn't see Lanmuir's expression clearly, but could only see the white sleeves of his coat flipped awe-inspiringly, and the human hand held a scimitar and swung it towards the top of his head—

Clang!!

The familiar irritation overlaps with fourteen years ago.

His only remaining left corner let out a crisp and unbearable scream.

Chirping...... The deeply embedded blade was slowly withdrawn, accompanied by a pain of cutting bones.

……——！！

Dim Yao forced the painful exhale that was almost out of his mouth into his throat, his eyes almost dripping blood, and he looked up in disbelief.

And Lanmuir swung his knife a second time.

Clang!!

It hurts...... It hurts.

Clang!!

How many times has this sound sounded?

The Demon King of the Abyss had never felt that the winter of Gassel was so cold, as if he was about to freeze himself from bone to blood.

Until the long sound of "click-" oscillated.

"Ahh

Dim couldn't tell if it was the cracking sound of his left corner being cut off, or the sound of the illusion finally shattering. When he came back to his senses, he had fallen from the beast bone throne, kneeling on the ground and pressing his left corner, a large drop of cold sweat falling down.

In front of me, there was still an empty and silent large stone hall of the royal court, and the bones were scattered all over the place. There was no wind and snow, and there was no one who swung a knife at him.

The Demon King's eyes were red, and he gasped deeply.

“…… Ranmuir. He muttered.

“…… Ranmuir. ”

=========

A moment later, High Priest Tada saw the Demon King slowly walking out of the Great Stone Hall.

He hurriedly greeted him and asked with concern, "My king, how is it?" ”

Faint walked out casually and said, "No, I don't see anything." ”

"Alas, that's no blessing or disaster, and it's a good thing that the wind and waves are calm."

"Maybe it's just that your skills are not enough, and the bones are not accurate."

The Demon King laughed, paused, and suddenly asked, "What about another time?" ”

Tada was so frightened that he waved his hand repeatedly, and Dusk Yao knew the rules of the priesthood, so he didn't mention it again. Just as he came to the fork in the road where he was about to separate, he suddenly stopped.

"Tada."

The Demon King asked, "Near the royal court, when is the next day of snow?" ”

Tada: "Oh...... The king asked if it was a very cold day this year, and yes, it was winter this year. I haven't had time to measure it yet, but it's probably two or three months later. ”

The faint "um" sounded, and his gaze was a little vain.

He looked at the sky and said, "Got it." ”

……

After bidding farewell to Priest Tada, Faint didn't know how he had walked back to the palace.

The emotions in his mind seemed to be stirred into a paste, and the demon king walked forward in a daze, thinking like a knife: Look, look, obviously I hate him, I just want to kill him.

And pretended so well. What a hypocritical human being, he had already seen through Ranmuir's true face anyway......

But he suddenly stopped again, thinking: No.

Dizzy closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows hard, he pulled out a trace of reason from the mess in his mind, twisted it like a knot, and then told himself: No.

Now that he has seen the clear scene, he believes that there is nothing wrong with the bones. But if you think about it, there are too many strange things in that scene.

First of all, Why did Ranmuir cut off his horns?

That action is by no means like a merciless look, but if there is really murderous intent, a knife to his neck can be done, why obsess about cutting corners?

Dimmy frowned and tilted his head, pinching his left corner in disbelief, thinking to himself: Besides, this thing won't be so hard that it won't be able to move after being slashed several times by his saber......

To say that it was deliberately tortured for revenge, it doesn't make sense, after all, it is really painful for the demons to be cut off.

But......

He also spent seven years with Ranmuir.

Twilight did doubt the slave's sincerity, and even decided that Ranmuir should hate him.

But to say that His Majesty, the Holy Monarch whose heart is so soft-hearted that he can be called completely merciful, would be driven by hatred to do such a thing as "torture and killing", and he will never believe it.

So, in a trance, I thought to myself, so could there be such a possibility: Ranmuir actually ...... And not willing to kill him?

Perhaps, there is a possibility that when he proposes to Ranmuir, His Majesty will say that the hurt of the year will not be relieved. After all, the Demon King is a cruel Demon King who has made many mistakes against his slaves; He also had many conjunctive partners who, in the Son of God, were not clean.

So what to do? Unless the Demon King is willing to give up the only remaining left corner to prove his repentance.

“……”

Dim Yao felt that the blood all over his body was gushing up his head, and his face was very hot.

He felt that he was so embarrassed that he was desperately trying to make up for it, and he had to comfort himself in a good direction after being cut off.

But I can't help but feel that this inference is very reasonable.

Otherwise, in the illusion brought to him by the bone chip, why did "himself" never resist?

If that's the truth...... It doesn't seem impossible. It is not impossible for Dim Yao Shen to walk with shallow feet and shallow feet, and his mind is extremely confused and self-defeating! It's okay to say it's okay!

Why did Kranmuir become covered in scales and shrouded in demonic breath? How could his body withstand such a rich demonic breath?

Could it be that this is the bane that Bone Chip wants to remind him to avoid?

I'm so annoyed, I can't figure it out, my head hurts......

The Demon King walked back to the palace with a disorganized mind.

The guards saluted him. How could he bother to take care of them, so he waved his hand and walked inside.

Just as he was about to step through the gate, the Demon King suddenly heard the sound of light music.

It was Ranmuir playing the harp.

He got the gift, and he seems to like it.

Dim Yao had mixed feelings in his heart, he motioned around to be silent, gestured for Sulfur Sand to take the attendants away, relaxed his breath and steps, and walked in slowly.

Still in the window, Lanmuir was sitting on the soft chair plucking the strings, he looked at the cliff moon in the sky, his brows were a little worried, and he looked preoccupied.

It's still the tune of the temple that is plucked:
