Bride of the Great Demon King

"Before the Holy See of Light split, it used the Richter Mountains as its central stronghold. Up to now, some people still believe that the legendary fortress - Castel Sant'Angelo - really existed somewhere in the Richter Mountains. "

……

The old tavern at the entrance of Gartney Town. In the past, only some passing businessmen and groups of adventurers who wanted to explore the Giant Mountains stopped here.

But recently, the number of pedestrians passing by the town has increased significantly.As a result of the oppression of the ghost army on Ferondo West Road, a large number of nobles and wealthy businessmen began to move to the southern provinces.Many of them even set their destination at the southernmost Misty Swamp on the mainland.After all, the rumors that the Jialan royal family has been controlled by the undead are intensifying. No one wants to wake up the next day and become a member of the undead army.

At this moment, in an unobtrusive corner of the tavern, a handsome man in a white healing magician robe was wolfing down the eighth steak in front of him.Beside him, although a blond boy was also holding a knife and fork, nothing on the plate was touched.

"My dear, you don't want to know what I have been eating for the past three years." Trio drank most of the glass of beer in one go, and then wiped his lips with the back of his hand, "Phew... finally I have eaten the real beer. What's the matter, do you feel no appetite? It's normal. This body has never eaten before, and you can get used to it slowly. Otherwise, let me chat with you and let you know what happened during your deep sleep thing?"

"Yes." The boy glanced at the man warily.

Different from Trio's relaxed and casual expression, Bairiel has been in a state of extreme tension after waking up.It has been a full day and night since he left the "hometown" that Trio said, and re-entering the crowd did not make the boy relax.On the contrary, because he didn't know where the destination of this trip was, the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.Trio's strength was unfathomable, and Bailiel felt that the reason why he took him on the road so carelessly was that there must be a way to ensure that he would not escape.

"Don't be so nervous. We can enjoy this journey." Trio smiled and beckoned the waiter to serve another steak.

"Let me think about where to start. Hmm... Speaking of which, the explosion you made in the Sacred Heart City three years ago almost changed the pattern of the human world!" Trio said while eating roasted corn. The changes that have taken place in three years are described in detail.

"The golden lion, which was supposed to die without a doubt, unexpectedly survived unscathed, while the Pope of the Northern Bright Church disappeared into nothingness along with six sacred objects in the disaster. This matter was recognized by the Great Holy Church It was deliberately plotted by the king of Flondo, and the templars immediately took revenge, but they were wiped out overnight by the black warrior, the secret force in the hands of the king."

"The golden lion immediately announced that the Northern Light Temple deliberately rebelled and searched for it nationwide, and Florent also restored its original belief-the golden god of war Tyr. The king announced the will of God in public, and led the Buddha London's iron army unified the entire continent. The million-strong army was divided into three groups, led by the king, the black warrior, and the ghost monarch, and went south to Jialan, with the potential to wipe out this ancient kingdom. The golden lion even threatened , within a year to let his army meet at the foot of the holy city of Notley. Interestingly, although the Northern Bright Church was severely suppressed, the Golden Lion buried the pope who died in the explosion, and wrote on the epitaph I used to describe him as 'a great man who upholds justice'." Trioruo hooked the corners of his lips meaningfully, and took the plate from the waiter.

"At the same time, the death energy spreading from the holy city of Notley has reached a point that cannot be ignored. Although the people in the country are panicked, the queen of Jialan has displayed her undead army in a very high-profile manner, and called it Jialan's Undead fighting spirit. The inspection team composed of undead was sent to various places in Jialan to take over all local garrisons and administrative rights. The queen announced that she would defend the dignity of the God of Light and crusade against the gods in all directions. The undead army marched day and night to the north and south The two directions are very close, and it is said that the number of people will increase a lot every time they go. Although the queen's excuse is high-sounding, it is ridiculous that it is said that the main temple of the Church of Light has long been empty, and the God of Light is obviously not there. Stand on Jialan's side."

"North and south?" The boy frowned.If it was just a war with Forondo, why would the undead be sent to the south?

"That's right. The misty swamp in the south is not so much a boundless swamp as it is a magical land inhabited by various creatures. Elves, lizardmen, dwarves... all kinds of intelligent creatures live side by side, Human beings with relatively weak individual strength rely on their own wisdom to wander among various races to earn benefits. Merchants in the Misty Swamp are well-known on the mainland, not only because they can obtain goods that ordinary people cannot obtain, but also because of their Integrity never falters. Even for a race without wisdom, they never rely on deception to gain benefits."

"I don't know when, every businessman in the Misty Swamp has developed the habit of depositing [-]% ​​of his profits into the Rose Federation. This loose alliance among merchants uses this money to deal with major events. Protect the interests of all human beings in the Misty Swamp. Gradually, the president of the Rose Federation became the spiritual leader in the southern land. Although there is no formal fiefdom, the previous presidents are all called the Duke of Rose. This elected , Leaders who are not recognized by nobles everywhere often have amazing energy."

"The Duke of Rose of this generation is not only a woman, but also a leader with great vision. Just when the war between Jialan and Frondo was about to break out, she suddenly stood up and announced that whether it is the undead or the powerful Neither will be welcome in the lands of the South. Here she will build a nation like no other, a nation where all races are free and equal, and a nation without a king."

"A country without a king..." The young man chewed on the meaning of this sentence, and suddenly felt that this duchess, who was on the same side as him, had courage that ordinary people did not have.Regardless of whether it is Frondo or Garland that has won the war, the next step is most likely to invade the Misty Swamp.Being proactive is the only way to defend this land.The concept of country put forward by the duchess has undoubtedly completely overturned the existing pyramid structure consisting of kings, nobles, and common people on the mainland, allowing more people to see the hope of having equal rights.Turning the enemy's strength into your own in the chaos of war is the greatest victory.

"That's right. It is precisely because of this sentence that countless free people have been attracted to the south. Now, although the founding ceremony of the Principality of Rose has not yet been held, great power has gathered in the southern land. But it is also Because of this, Queen Jialan announced a crusade on the grounds of opposing the system of nobles controlling civilians determined by God. Two years ago, the raiding undead army met the Rose Alliance Army at the edge of the Misty Swamp. To the surprise of the world, This group of 'Southern Rabble' actually resisted round after round of unstoppable attacks by the Undead Legion, and even with the continuous participation of civilians, they have recently become stronger and stronger. Of course, all of this is just superficial. Phenomenon." Trio suddenly smiled mysteriously, and stuffed the last small steak into his mouth.

"Superficial phenomena?" Bairiel's attention was completely attracted by Trio's words.

"This war, on the surface, is a territorial dispute between human beings, but in fact it is related to a bet between the devil kings of hell. Each of the three parties in the war has an extremely powerful force behind it. The three giants decided to use the entire human world As a gambling table, the party that declares the final victory in the war is the winner. How about it, does this sound familiar?"

"The Great Demon King is in the Misty Swamp!" The young man could hardly contain his surging emotions.Since the Great Demon King sneaked into Sacred Heart City with the caravan of the Rose Duchess three years ago, it is very likely that the power behind the Misty Swamp is the Great Demon King!

"That's right." Trio nodded with a smile, "The three parties in the bet are the Demon King of Pride, the Devil of Death, and Lilith, the Witch of the Night."

"Three parties..." The boy repeated in a daze.

"After the explosion of the holy power, the death devil offered to continue the bet and escalated the bet." Trio stared at the boy's face, "The black soul stone. The death devil proposed that if he fails in the bet, he will Permanent self-seal. In contrast, he asked the arrogant demon king to use the black soul stone fixed in the dark royal court that cannot be moved as a bet."

"Why?!" The young man's heart trembled violently, and he couldn't even imagine why the Great Demon King would put all his eggs in one basket.

"Of course it's for you!" Trio chuckled, "The black soul stone can call any soul regardless of the space barrier. After that explosion, he couldn't find your soul, so he took it for granted that you had returned to The Garden of Eden is gone, so I can only hope for the black soul stone. After all, even the devil cannot summon a soul in the Garden of Eden without relying on any props. Moreover, if you use that as the core to call back your soul, he even has Chance creates an eighth demon king in hell."

"!" The boy couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Don't get excited. That's only half the story! Don't you want to hear about Lilith's bet?"

"Because the two sides are evenly matched, we have to worry about third-party forces joining forces with the other side, so you allow the Witch of the Night to join the bet?" The young man calmly made a judgment, "I think the big devil and the arrogant devil are very dissatisfied with this. I I have read a description of the Witch of the Night. As a person who was permanently expelled by light and darkness at the same time, she deliberately created the current situation, what exactly is she trying to achieve? Is it to return to the dark camp?"

"That's right! Lilith, the Witch of the Night, bet her most precious thing, demanding that if Jialan wins the war, the two demon kings must allow her to return to hell. And..." Trio smiled Looking at the young man, "As the winner of the bet, she asks to become the wife of the death devil again!"

Snapped!

The steak was cut in half by the teenager along with the plate.
