If the treasure hunt in the devil is an adventure, then the encounter between Quan Ying and Nier is undoubtedly an unexpected adventure.
I met the Snowman in the Pantheon, a group of cute raccoon-like things, accepted their guidance, familiar with the road to shuttle underground, drilled in and out of many narrow caves, hovering more and more Go deep underground, don't know where to go.
When Nier and Izumi Sakura first met them, they just laughed for their cute appearance. After all, the hairy raccoon appearance, short hands and short feet, awkward movements, and Mimi's voice are really funny. However, When they had a little contact and understood what kind of life the Xuetes had lived for thousands of years, they felt a deep sorrow and anger.
Far from the ancient times, how long ago, the ancestors of these snow people were taken into slave labor by the demons, and various constructions were carried out in the Pantheon. They were born as slaves for generations, and died in fatigue and pain. Many At that time, it became the inevitable object of living sacrifice; many races, like the Xuetes, lost the ability of language, even their appearance was degraded, and they lived a life of blood and tears in the dark for thousands of years.
"These demons are really...really..."
Nier clenched her fists angrily, trying to say something, but because she thought of her identity as a demon, she didn't know how to continue the conversation.
"Who are the demons in your mouth? In the eyes of human beings, all the residents of the demons are not demons? Are they all deadly enemies? You don't need to express sympathy to them in particular."
The speaker is Cropadora, a masked mysterious woman. On the way here, she remained silent, and occasionally said a few words, which seemed to be a deliberate irony of Quan Ying and Nier. The same, it was surprisingly cold, but with the example of Hua Bianque earlier, neither of the two women felt uncomfortable with these words. Some intuitions in their hearts even felt that the woman was not malicious.
Padora doesn’t say much, but she still has to speak up, because she is the only one who can translate the words of the two women. Without her, no one would understand the words of the Snowman’s mimi. , Let alone other races that are even stranger.
As the leader of the "Harmful Books Club", Padola couldn't help giving orders to the Snowmen to carry out all kinds of cover-up work, to eliminate the traces of the people who have traveled here, and to prevent the upper demons from discovering.
I don’t know how long it took, everyone finally came to the extreme depths of the Pantheon. The dark space where all the slave laborers inhabited was not only so dark that no light source could be seen, the smell of rotten and humid, but also a strong The smell of blood made Quan Ying and Ni'er frown as soon as they smelled it.
The creatures that exist in this space are not just snowmen, but also some strange-looking humanoid races. Even if I can’t see clearly in the dark, Quan Ying still vaguely sees that most of these races are shackled and restrained in action, and many of them are even mutilated. Even if they are far away, they can still smell it. The smell of blood on them, from these sights, it is easy to infer what kind of life these slave laborers are living.
"Mi~~"
Quan Ying and Ni'er came to this dark space, and the snowman in the lead called out. Some silent fluctuations spread quickly, telling the living entities that exist in this space that the long-awaited people have already Arrived, followed, even though they deliberately lowered their voices, the faint shouts of joy and madness were still spreading like fireworks, one after another in this space.
"They seem to welcome us? I don't know why?"
"Nier is the red star of All Wind Continent, maybe they are your fans."
Quan Ying joked to Nier, trying to dilute the tension in front of her, but she knew in her heart that she was welcomed because of a certain prophecy. As for the content of the prophecy, only Padola could translate it. .
When Quan Ying cast her questioning eyes on Padola, the masked beauty did not answer directly, but simply talked about the origin of the existence of slave labor in the ground.
"The Demon Realm's royal family does not produce production. They just practice martial arts diligently to increase their strength, and then aggressively conquer and plunder, destroy all the weak tribes of the Demon Realm, and take all men and women into slaves. They work and produce for the enjoyment of the royal family. ."
It's not just the Xuetes who are treated like this. There are also many weak races living in the demon world, all of whom have the same fate.
For thousands of years, the Celestial Demon Art passed down from the Deep Blue Demon King is the supreme martial art that governs the demon world. Although in the vast and boundless demon world, there were a few masters who created martial arts that were stronger and more domineering than the demon art, but in actual combat, they were still defeated by the demon world because of the demon art’s innate restraint against the demon clan. The hand of the royal family, together with the powerful magic skills it created, has become a shining badge embellishing the great demon king Wuxun of the past dynasties, making the royal power standing unshakable, inheriting it for a long time, and enjoying the protection of the deep blue demon forever. Step on the soles of the other races of the Demon World.
"How much do you know about the legend of the Deep Blue Devil?"
Padora’s question, Quanying and Nier both found it difficult to answer. During the journey into the Demon Realm, they only took care of their journey and did not have the opportunity to communicate with the aboriginals of the Demon Realm, even though the Lancelow brothers and sisters were both Practicing Heavenly Demon Art, but he doesn't know anything about the traditions of the Demon Clan. Now hearing Padola asks this question, Ni'er is speechless.
"All residents of the Demon Realm know that the Dark Blue Demon King is the demon among the demon, and the demon **** above the demon **** is also the ancestor of the current royal family."
There are countless dark gods in the entire demon world. The Dark Blue Devil is above the gods and looks down on the world as a king. Therefore, no matter which tribe it is, the Dark Blue Devil is the common main god, and is protected by the Dark Blue Devil. The royal family of the Demon Realm also uses this as a legal basis, sitting firmly in the supreme position, and enslaving all the tribes of the Demon Realm.
When the tribes want to raise the flag of rebellion against the royal family, they are tantamount to rebellion against the Deep Blue Demon. Even without considering the invincible power of the devil power, there is a psychological fear of incurring the scourge of the gods, so there has always been only Aixinjuola The royal family coaxed inwardly, and there were very few masters who dared to challenge the hegemony of the royal family.
"The Deep Blue Devil is so amazing? What did he do in his lifetime? In addition to creating the heavenly magic arts and appearing in the Demon Realm Royal Family, is there anything really scary?"
Actually, it's amazing just to create the devil power, but Padola still gave Nier an unexpected answer.
"The Deep Blue Demon King was the first king to unify the Demon Realm and the creator of the Demon Realm culture. More importantly, he once gave the residents of the Demon Realm a dream."
The Demon Realm is a world with an extremely harsh living environment. Sunshine, wind, water, and the earth, these natural resources in the human realm, are all presented in the worst form in the Demon Realm. In order to survive, all the inhabitants of the Demon Realm must continue to fight and rob all kinds of resources to sustain their lives. To this day, this terrible situation has not changed.
But in ancient times, this situation has changed. When the entire Demon Realm was still wild and all the tribes attacked and killed each other, the Deep Blue Demon King rose up and defeated the leaders of the major tribes one by one with the invincible devil power, and returned to his own command. After hundreds of years, Finally, the major tribes of the Demon Realm were unified, and the scale of today's Demon Realm regime was established.
"At that time, the Deep Blue Devil made a promise to stop the devil’s internal fighting, everyone does not need to live in fear all day, and to bring everyone to a beautiful ideal world, with sufficient supplies, bright sunlight, and let All tribes have escaped from the darkness."
As far as Nier sounds, this promise is undoubtedly an attack on the human world, promises to lead the demons to attack the ambition of the human world, but for the tribes eager to survive in other worlds, there is no more temptation than this promise. That’s why everyone supports the Deep Blue Demon King, hoping that after unifying the Demon Realm, he can gather the power of all the residents of the Demon Realm to realize their dreams.
"However, this dream died halfway through. Soon after unifying the Demon Realm, the Deep Blue Devil died due to the recurrence of his old injuries. Although he became a Demon God after his death, he would protect the Demon Realm forever, but his descendants did not succeed. Treat all tribes equally, change to class rule, demote the weak and small tribes into slave labor, and turn the Devildom into a world where the weak and the strong are eaten...not much different from before, but more institutionalized."
Padora spoke simply in human language, Quan Ying was not sure whether other races nearby could understand, but when Padola spoke, there were intermittent wailing sounds next to her, as if echoing her words The bleakness in it.
"There is only one thing that the Aixinjueluo family still abides by the ancestors’ legacy, that is, to constantly attack the human world and seize a world with richer materials, and then...not for the time being, maybe wait for them to attack. After going down to the human world, it will also be used to manage a world like the devil’s scum pit."
Padora's tone is full of irony, but Nier can't help but ask, wondering what these things have to do with her?
"If this is the case, of course it doesn’t matter, but great people like to leave last words, and the last words sometimes turn into prophecies. This is the same situation. Hundreds of years after the death of the Deep Blue Devil, someone discovered Deep Blue The last words of the demon king mentioned in a bunch of weird words that when the orthodox demon king with foreign blood returns to the demon world from another world, the light of ideal will shine again, and I hope it will return to the residents of the demon world..."
"Wait, the orthodox demon with foreign blood?"
"Yes, and it's the return of the demon world from the other world." Padola said: "This prophecy refers to you, Xiyoujielan Ni, the orthodox demon king who inherited the throne of Temujin."
"This is ridiculous, isn't it?" Nier yelled, "Isn’t the Aixinjueluo family ever intermarried with other foreign races in the history? Yinzhen went to the human world to fight, and he would come back after the fight. The demon king who came back from the alien world? The demon king who shed the blood of the alien race and the demon king who returned from the alien world to the demon world. There are too many people who meet these two conditions? Is there any reason to say it is me?"
"There is indeed no specific reason. In the long history, there have been many candidates who were considered saviors, but they were either killed or showed hideous features, which disappointed the people here countless times. However, you are different. In addition to the Deep Blue Devil, there is another bright light shining behind you."
Padora said: "The name Temujin is a taboo name for the royal family of the Demon Realm. However, when he was in power, his attitude towards other nations was always very good, and he also liberated the slaves of the human world. Gong, if you let him continue to reform, today’s situation will not appear, so for the race living here, Temujin is equivalent to the martyred savior, and you have inherited this bloodline."
"Wait a minute." Ignoring Yu Nier's confusion, Quan Ying, who has been standing by her side, said, "Although you are telling the truth, Nier's identity should be confidential. How did you know? "
When Quan Ying wakes up a little, Nier realizes that she is the daughter of the former Demon King. It should be a secret in the secrets. Even in the human world, not many people know how to get everyone in the demon world. Everybody knows?
"Confidential? Not anymore." Padola said: "Just ten days ago, His Majesty the Great Demon King in the human world issued an announcement to inform all the tribes of the Demon World that the widow of the former Demon King has been found. Xiujielan Ni, and will fight against it."
This news shocked Nier and Izumi, because it’s hard to imagine what benefits Yinzhen would do. From his standpoint, Nier can be reprimanded as an ambition who impersonates the widow of the former demon king. To deal with it in the same way, formally recognize Nier’s identity as it is now, and express his imminent crusade, it will only cause all those who are dissatisfied with the current regime to concentrate under the banner of Nier.
Could it be that this is the purpose of Yinzhen? Want to gather all the enemies in one place and strike and destroy them all at once? However, the demon army was severely injured, its vitality was severely injured, and the front line of the human world had to be taken into account. It was the most exhausting and eventful period. Yinzhen wanted to launch two frontal battles, which is really unwise.
No one thinks Yinzhen is a stupid leader, but the strategy he adopts is really hard to guess. As a result, although Nier could not understand Yinzhen's intentions, her position was already very clear. Since she came to defeat Yinzhen, and these people in front of us urgently need help, then both sides should be on the same front. .
"Mi~~Mimi~~oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
When the cheers sounded again, Nier waved to the ecstatic crowd in the dark.
"I promised you that I will definitely bring you hope!"
At first glance, this is an ideal beginning, but neither Nier nor Quan Ying could have expected that the reality that follows the ideal is surprisingly tricky.
※※※
Ni'er and Quanying stayed at the bottom of the Pantheon, but Lancelot, who broke into the Pantheon with them, caused a **** storm in the upper space.
In the absence of Yinzhen, Lancelow is in the realm of no one in the Pantheon. Although there are countless institutions, barriers, and strong guards in the Pantheon, Lancelow can't stop Lancelot at all, especially It was after Quan Ying and Nier were missing that Lancelow was even more burdened, and turned into a wild leopard in the dark alone, coming and going without a trace in the Temple of Demon, becoming more and more handy. Later, in the Temple of Demon. Not to mention that the soldiers are blocking, or even not knowing the position of the enemy at all.
Although the various organs are powerful, there are few people to preside, and there is no way to show their actual power; secondly, Lanslow's martial arts are too strong, and the demons once possessed the power of Zhaitian power. There are only a handful of the various designs in the Hall of Demon. They can’t stop the warriors of Zhaitian from entering the formation. No matter what the organ kills, they are all destroyed by Lancelow. As for the maze phantoms, they also attacked Lans later. Silo lost his effect, but instead gave him a chance to train Tianxin consciousness. In a blink of an eye, Tianxin guided him in the right direction, without being confused by the false eye and ears, and broke through the battle.
A few hours passed in a hurry, Lancelot no longer knew how many floors he had rushed through, but still couldn’t find Quan Ying and Nier. Although she was safe, she still had some worries in her heart. Are my wife and sister safe?
"This Pantheon is really a ghost place. I thought that the white pagoda of ivory was not enough for people to live in. I didn't expect the palace of the demon clan to be more perverted. It was basically a nest of ghouls and resentful souls..."
Lancelow had such feelings in the battle, and the reason that triggered his feelings was the experience in the harem.
Self-reliance on Zhai’s cultivation base is unmatched. When he just broke into Yinzhen’s harem, Lancelot thought that with the power gap between himself and these women, he could smash any sneak attacks and plots at his fingertips, so he didn’t He didn't strain his nerves, he was negligent, and he was almost fooled. However, it really made Lancelot feel the cold on his back and the hair on his whole body was erected, but after he left the harem.
The attacks of the witches in the harem, although fierce, were not threatening to Lancelow. This was not the reason to shake him; the ugliness of the witches showed their true colors, although they were startled by Lancelow, but Not enough to make him fearful. The reason that really moved Lancelot was that after he killed all the enchantresses, he vaguely saw a burst of illusions, which made him understand that this place was really the harem of the Hall of Demons, and that the enchantresses were indeed Yinzhen's concubines.
...Until more than a thousand years ago, when Yinzhen was about to leave the demon world, the king who had not come to the harem for a long time came here for the last time. When he left this gorgeous palace again, the whole palace fell into silence. There is no anger left, no more life.
It's such a cruel hand that makes Lancelow feel scared!
In the image that flashed suddenly, Lancelot clearly saw that as soon as Yinzhen entered the harem, he suddenly used his hand to kill all the concubines in the palace. The blood was sprinkled on the surrounding stone walls and pillars. All corpses.
In addition to these scenes, Lancelow also sensed the reason why Yinzhen did it. That's not a special reason, just like many predecessors who walked on the martial arts, in order to concentrate on martial arts, they will destroy all the things that may hinder their martial arts practice, and there is no need to worry about them, and the way they show may be Folding swords and destroying objects could also kill the concubine Ji he once loved.
When Huang Taiji mentioned this allusion to Lancelot, he said that this kind of situation usually happens to people who practice magic arts, because in addition to the demon martial arts, the rest need to rely on this extinction method to practice There are not many martial arts. However, Lancelow saw more information from the image.
The murderous Yinzhen not only looks as calm as an ancient well, but from the beginning to the end, his eyes have not even changed. This made Lancelow realize that Yinzhen is not holding the consciousness of extinction love in his hands, he Just like squeezing a few small bugs to death, he shot at will to see how cold he could be.
(True, really inhumane...)
Lancelow had such an idea, but he also knew that this idea was meaningless, because human nature is only binding on humans, but Yinzhen is a demon, and he is still a man who sits firmly in the position of the demon king, demanding of him Human nature is a very absurd thing. Therefore, Lancelow's thinking has changed.
"It's really like it. It's the old son of Chires. The virtues of the father and son are like a mold."
In those few scenes of video, Lancelot saw all the concubines in the harem dead, their bones lying here, as the years passed, absorbing the magic power of the Pantheon and demonizing them, they became living corpses. Monsters such as ghouls and ghouls have long lost their past personalities and memories, but they still act according to their instincts and still remain loyal to the master of the demon clan. When a foreign enemy breaks into the pantheon, they will suffer The control of the magic temple comes out to trap and kill the enemy.
Lancelow killed them once, but under the influence of the evil power of the Pantheon, the fallen corpses were once again demonized and slowly moved, but due to insufficient magic power, these clothes were rotten. The group of living corpses in the Chinese clothes did not attack Lancelot, but performed the simplest actions according to instinct.
Ordinary living corpses, if they follow instinct, they are craving for blood and raw meat. Jealous of the living and thirst for flesh and blood are the strongest instincts of undead creatures, but this group of living corpses slowly used rotten clothes as rags and bones as brooms, sweeping the ruined and deserted harem, waiting for the name Yong The male host who won't return.
Lancelow, who witnessed this scene, felt a horrible shake in his heart. Driven by his instinct, he desperately attacked with a heavy hand. The Thunder Red Emperor, which was pushed by ten percent of the force, rushed in all directions, making Thunder and lightning swept the entire harem, destroying the group of living corpses to pieces, leaving no more residue.
"Rest in peace, that man won't come back! Waiting for him for a thousand years, enough, please sleep well!"
Lancelow himself had never built a harem, nor could he imagine the psychology of the harem concubine, but what he encountered this time really shocked him. He didn't know if he was doing this right. He shot the evil things that had become living corpses to destroy them, so that they could really sleep peacefully. This seemed to be the best way to do it. However, Lancelot also remembered a conversation between himself and his wife.
That was the night before Lancelow was going to Alcatraz. He had a meal with his wife, Xiaocao. When he was sorry that he would leave without being able to accompany his wife for a few days, Xiaocao said that he didn't mind. attitude.
"If you are not by my side, I don't necessarily feel lonely... Just sitting here thinking about you, thinking about your taste, thinking about your smiling face, I feel very happy."
At that time, Xiaocao licked her husband's face and spoke with a smile, but Lancelot fell silent when he thought of the seriousness and affection in her eyes. Rather than sleeping forever, those dead spirits may wish to stay in this palace of the dead, waiting for its owner to return one day, right? Especially, Lancelot felt no resentment on these dead spirits and living corpses... Until death, they never hated the man who took their lives.
"The Devil Realm is really a ridiculous world, how can there be such a thing..."
Being troubled by this for a long time, when Lancelow calmed down, a huge stone wall appeared before his eyes.
Originally, there are countless mazes and illusions in the Pantheon. For the martial arts powerhouse, these blinding spells are more difficult to deal with than the powerful organs, because the fists can smash the organs, but they can’t point out the right way. , Even Lancelow was made extremely tricky by these puzzles at the beginning, making random detours, and finally found that he was still in place, wasting a lot of time, and even mistakenly deceived by the illusion, was absorbed by the Pantheon. power.
However, the power of Zhaitian power is not trivial. Especially Lancelow was born in the mountains and is good at fighting guerrilla warfare for survival alone. When he shed all his burdens, he lurked back into the darkness and became someone else. After the unpredictable existence, the wild intuition he has trained since childhood, guides him in the direction.
It's not just a personal intuition, but this wild sixth sense is complementary to Tianxin consciousness, so that Lancelow is not affected by all kinds of false illusions, senses the source of magic, and finds that there seems to be some kind of silence. The message is calling himself.
After you have your intuition, the next step is to trust your intuition. Although the Pantheon tried to launch several sniping attacks on Lancelow, it had no real effect. It could only slow down Lancelow's pace slightly. As a result, after he entered the Pantheon at the eighteenth hour, Lancelow Before coming to the stone wall, I found a hint from the star and moon totem on the stone wall, and punched it on the solid stone gate.
The portal that can only be opened by the Great Demon King, is now opened by the power that the Great Demon King can possess. The Heavenly Demon Art cultivation base of the Zhaitian Position and the aura derived from the Heavenly Demon Sutra open the secrets for Lancelot The gateway to the cave.
"Here is..."
In the secret cave, the stone walls are engraved with densely packed text and graphics. These are not very attractive to Lancelot. Although he can't understand the Mozu text, he still looks at the graphics one after another. What Temujin had passed to him long ago seemed meaningless now.
Turning his head, there seemed to be two statues at the end of the secret cave. Lancelow frowned and walked towards the statue.
