Bride of the Great Demon King

"The sloping ground, the collapsed buildings, the terrified cries... This pearl on the sea is falling at an alarming speed. When the rising sun jumps out of the sea level again, everything has ceased to exist.

This day is called the day of the destruction of civilization. "

……

The round eyes looked particularly large on the small face, but they lacked the innocence that a boy of this age should have, and the eyeballs were not very flexible in their movement.With a straight nose bridge, naturally slightly upturned mouth corners, a sharp chin, curly hair around the cheeks, and a slightly thin figure, at first glance, the boy in the mirror does not seem to be much older than he was half a year ago different.

But there is indeed something different.

The man in the mirror curled his lips.At least half a year ago, I would never have shown such a smile.

During the first 12 years of her life, Bailiel managed to get used to only exposing negative emotions, and the expression on her face was always light.Although there are occasional beatings because of "unlucky looks", it is usually just that people in the village want to find an excuse to vent the grievances accumulated in life.On the contrary, if they were allowed to find the so-called "happy expression" on the face of a helpless orphan, then what Bailiel might encounter would be a catastrophe.

In fact, I knew the reason why the people in the village raised themselves a long time ago!

In fact, no one would really care about the idea of ​​an orphan, deliberately concealing the fact that he was going to be a sacrifice.The villagers don't even need to worry about Bailiel running away.What can a blind boy do but obey fate?

The young man wondered more than once, or, more precisely, looked forward to his life after becoming the bride of the Great Demon King.Huddled alone in the damp broken warehouse, looking forward to the arrival of the "final day" amidst all kinds of wild speculations.Maybe it's a relief, maybe it's a new life, Bailiel has always stubbornly believed that on that day the trajectory of his life will turn in a completely different direction.

Maybe it's just a desire to find some hope in a life full of pain.

But, it worked out in the end, didn't it?

Really went in a completely different direction!

A warm embrace easily broke the cage that the boy had carefully built over the years.The road ahead became gradually clear. For the first time, there was someone to rely on, someone to protect, and someone to dedicate everything to.How he wanted that person to stain himself with pure darkness, to become his ribs, his blood, an inseparable part of him!

And perhaps entertaining him with luscious voices?

Suddenly recalling the dream in the morning, a blush immediately covered the boy's cheeks.Knowing that it was just a dream, he secretly checked the back wall of the closet after getting up, and was disappointed to find that there was no door hidden there, which led to the frightening, trembling, and at the same time The door to the world of the senses that is longed for.That novel and intense feeling was deeply imprinted in the boy's mind, and it made new ripples throughout the day from time to time.Bailie didn't understand what it was, but vaguely remembered the satisfied expression on the big devil's face at that moment.

If it makes him happy, it doesn't matter what you do, right?

"My dear little bride, if you continue to stop before every mirror, it will make me doubt my eyes. Is there anything wrong with this robe I picked out this morning? Know that even hell has seasons In addition, winter is coming quietly, I don't want you to be caught cold by the cold wind that sneaks in through some window. Also, I personally think that the fluff on the collar, sleeves and hem makes you look more palatable gone."

"No, no, I also feel that this body is very warm." The boy blushed and stammered in denial, not noticing that the Great Demon King was more willing to describe his appearance in terms of food recently.

"Could it be..." The Great Demon King approached with a smile, "Are you troubled by your morning dream?"

"Ah!" The young man who had guessed his mind couldn't help but turn pale with shock.Could it be that the Great Demon King can see his dreams?Bai Lier suddenly didn't know where to put his hand.

"Still thinking about that nightmare?" His slender fingers caressed the boy's forehead as if to comfort him, "Don't worry, nightmares are just baseless conjectures, and they won't really happen."

"It's not that I don't want it to happen." Bai Lie suddenly wanted to bite off his tongue, "Uh...uh...I mean, it wasn't all a nightmare."

"Oh? It's not a nightmare? Then why have you been in a trance for the whole morning? Could it be..." The big devil pursed his lips, pretending to be thinking.

"No, no!"

"Not what? I haven't spoken my guess yet!"

"Uh... nothing..."

"Let me think about it, you must have dreamed of me, right?" Satisfied with the momentary shocked expression on the young man's face, the Great Devil frowned deliberately and asked in distress, "Could it be that... In your dream... bullied you?"

"..."

"Please rest assured, whether it is now or in the future, my love for you will never waver in the slightest. So the things in your dreams will never happen!" The demon king swore.

"..."

After appreciating the tangled expression on the young man's face for a moment, the wicked devil finally let go of his bride, lowered his head and breathed out a warm breath in the young man's ear: "Of course, except when you want it to happen."

"I...I..." Bairiel's face was already comparable to a ripe tomato.

"Okay, let's stop obsessed with illusory dreams, let's talk about your mysterious weapon!" Finally, when he arrived at the study, the Great Demon King carried Bairiel onto the high chair, turned around and closed the door, Go back to the desk and sit down.

The boy was obviously eager to end the topic just now, and immediately took out the Blade of Lies from his satchel and put it on the table.

"So, it's here?"

Bairiel watched in surprise as the big devil's finger passed through the dagger and pressed it on the table without any mistakes.

"Not invisibility magic. This..."

"dagger."

"This dagger is hidden by some rules. So, you can see it?"

"Well, I can see it. It's beautiful, it looks... um..." Bairiel searched for the most suitable words in his mind, "Although it's sharp, it's not dangerous at all."

"If it is really an item hidden by some rules, then the hidden rules should not be as simple as 'only the owner of the dagger can see the dagger'." The big devil smiled and retracted his fingers, "I think you need to find out by yourself This rule. And since it is called the Blade of Lies, its function should not be as simple as hurting yourself. When you discover its hidden rules, you may be able to discover its true use."

"The real purpose?"

"Yes. No one is really stupid enough to create a weapon that can only stab themselves. Besides, as you said, this dagger originally belonged to the owner of the 'beast circle', and she wanted to use it to get it' An answer', so there must be something else to this dagger."

Bairiel nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, put this away! I don't feel the power of the curse on it, you should have become its true master, and there is no danger of backlash." The big devil pampered the boy's soft golden chest Hair, "Find out its use, and the process of finding it should bring you quite a lot of fun. But please remember, don't hurt yourself easily next time. Your blood is so precious, every drop of it makes me feel Heartbroken. Please take good care of your body for the sake of a poor devil in love!"

"Well, I will make my blood flow more meaningful." The young man nodded solemnly, "and take good care of my own life."

The big devil stared blankly, and suppressed the teasing in his eyes: "You are really becoming more and more like a devil. Yes, I admit that sometimes harm is unavoidable. I take back what I just said, I shouldn't You look like a small flower in a greenhouse. I sincerely hope that one day you will become the most beautiful gem in hell."

"A jewel that will always belong to you." The young man added in a low voice.

"Yes." The black eyes flickered slightly, and the big devil smiled, "As for the owner of the 'beast circle', I think I probably know her, or who it is."

"it?"

"The Lion of Truth, a beast with the power of space, and the patron saint of Atreus Island, this is probably her real body. It should have built a 'beast circle' with its entire body, as you can see But it is its incarnation, so its voice sounds like it is coming from all directions. The island of Atreis that it once guarded was one of the most prosperous areas in ancient times. The residents of Atreis have unique Almost all of them are singers, performers, architects, and artists. The huge patron saint swallowed the entire island and protected it from any infringement. It used to be a beautiful dream country, the most beautiful place in the sea. A pearl of fascination, the city known as the capital of truth."

"The real capital?"

"Yes. Although the civilization of Atreis was destroyed, a very small part of magic has been preserved, the most famous of which is the mantra."

"The kind you used on Brutt?" Bairiel was surprised to think of that poor vampire who could only answer his own questions honestly.

"That's right. The reason why the island of Atreis is called the capital of truth is because the entire island has been cast with extremely powerful mantra spells, and no one can lie there. Once the trading ships that come and go stop there, There is no room for any profiteers, because false language simply cannot exist in that place."

"It's amazing! Then how did it get destroyed?" Bairiel asked curiously.

"Because the powerful patron saint suddenly disappeared." The big demon raised the corners of his lips maliciously, "When the night fell, the greedy sea monsters were the first to discover this fact. They can hardly believe that thousands of years have passed. The copper and iron walls that prevented their plundering ambitions suddenly disappeared, and before they even had time to form a formation, they rushed to the island frantically, looting this beautiful place overnight. In the end, they even drove countless strong seahorses, using iron hooks and The rope pulled the entire island into the sea. The island of Atreis has since been erased from the world, and has become a term that only exists in a few classics."

After imagining the scene at that time, the boy was shocked for a moment and then asked suspiciously: "Why did the patron saint suddenly disappear?"

"There is no summoned beast that can quietly betray its master. Therefore, there is only one possibility. It is the summoned beast recovered by the residents of Atreis."

"Why?" Bairiel asked in shock.

"Who knows? Maybe they just want to breathe fresh air once in a while?" The Great Demon King shrugged nonchalantly, "Maybe someone bypassed the magic of the truth and deceived them. How can a person who lives in the truth all his life know a lie?" What about the power?"

"Hmm..." Bairiel lowered his head in thought.

"It's just a boring history. If you are interested in world history, I can take you to the library in the castle after a while. Well, I have answered your doubts, do you have anything else to ask me? "

"Ah! Speaking of which... when?" Bairiel asked curiously, "When exactly did you connect the shadow to me?"

"Probably before you go to the blood capital! It's just a small measure just in case. Your performance in the blood capital made him even have no chance to show up." The big devil cleared his throat, as if he didn't want to discuss this issue Talk deeply, "Do you have any plans for the afternoon? Maybe we can play a game of chess in the garden?"

"Uh... sorry. I promised Sean to go to the summer palace to clean up together." The boy said with regret.

"Cleaning up?" The Great Demon King remembered his order, and couldn't understand how his servant would think of asking Bailie to go to the summer palace together.

"Well. I'm pretty good at this." Bairiel said quite proudly.In fact, when he learned of Sean's work in the afternoon in the morning, he immediately volunteered to help.

The young man at this moment still doesn't know how much the "big cleaning" in his understanding differs from the housekeeper's.

"Then... please remember to bring the summoned beast." The Great Demon King reminded with a smile.
