Chapter 318: Not a Good Guy, Aiwass

Chapter 310 Not a good friend of Aiwass

The outskirts of Bagpipe Town.

The giant prince Wolfram stood alone in the open grassland, the winter grass had become dry.

Wolfram's face did not contain the anger and frenzy common among giants, but was extremely calm.

His rational and indifferent voice sounded leisurely: "I paid a price you can't imagine to escape from George. Now we have no way out... I hope the information you brought is true."

He consumed all the remaining demonologists who fanatically followed him as materials, so that he could set up a trap to trap the Great Guardian George, and at the same time, he directly crossed the entire Avalon and teleported from a diagonal position. come over.

It can even be said that the core elite of the Noble Red have become extinct.

And the reason for everything was because Cassiem sent a piece of information, and Wolfram immediately sent it over without hesitation and at a huge cost.

"You are not the only one who paid the price, my respected prince."

A voice that seemed blurry in the rolling thunder but could not hide the malice and greed in it sounded: "Those humans are just slaves, toys, walking ritual materials and food reserves. What kind of heavy price can it be considered?"

"As long as we get the Book of Law, we can easily recruit stronger and more humans than this - I need your help, my respected prince."

As he spoke, a dark cloud appeared in front of the giant prince. The devil, who was as ferocious as a demon, covered in pitch-black scales, with black bat wings behind him, and thick crocodile feet, walked out of the void in a burst of crackling lightning.

His right hand dragged the halberd shining with electric light, bursting into flames on the dry white grass and igniting a scorch mark. The silver chain with sharp barbs was wrapped around his left arm covered with scales.

Completely different from Qasiem’s irritable but cautious character.

With the power of the devil's incarnation, he degenerated into a punishment demon and did not hide his self-confidence and greed - or in other words, he was trying his best to hide it.

Originally, he was going to find the "Book of Law" and give it to Prince Wolfram, but now the person who gets the book has become "us". Maybe after I get it, the personal pronoun will be changed to "I" again. He now feels like he can do such a thing.

But Prince Wolfram didn't care at all about the changes in his subordinate, the only pure-blooded member of the association.

In other words, he already knew the other party's true character. It was only because of Qasiem’s bloodline that he was willing to work with him and share power.

Unlike Cassiem's ​​disgusting attitude of groveling and hiding his desires before, Prince Wolfram's relationship with the Punishment Demon was more relaxed and natural: "What? You never believed in the existence of the Book of Law before. Now, Do you finally believe it?"

"That is indeed an incredibly powerful force."

The Punishment Demon also admitted his failure without hesitation: "I came a little late, and Jacob's grandson got it... As a result, at the third level, he was able to compete with me head-on, and even had an advantage for a time. Forcing me to become a Punishment Demon to survive. This is still when I bring a group of demonologists, and even after I become a Punishment Demon, he can still pose a threat to me.

"I can tell that his fighting style is immature. It's more like a 'test' than a fight... like the kind of person who suddenly gets power and then finds someone to test what this power can do. young people."

He knew this all too well.

There are many people like this in Noble Red.

"But if he was only at this level, you wouldn't be able to ask for my help. You would want to devour the Book of Laws for yourself."

Prince Wolfram said: "Because you have also just become a punishment demon and are not familiar with your new power. If it was just a little bit close, you would definitely lie dormant and wait until you recover from your injuries and become familiar with your power before you attack again.

"So you must have encountered something else - tell me, I have already come over."

"——I encountered the Wild Hunt. As long as I enter the battle, it will be a storm. Passing by the area where the Wild Hunt is frequent, it is easy to provoke the King of the Wild Hunt."

The Punishment Demon replied: "I'm lucky if I can escape safely."

"……oh?"

Wolfram was a little more interested: "What level is the King of the Wild Hunt?"

"At least the fifth energy level, maybe the sixth energy level."

The Punishment Demon simply shared the information: "I retreated as soon as the fight started - in order to maintain my condition.

"But we don't have to be afraid even if it's the sixth level. Even if we can't defeat the Wild Hunt, it's still okay to hold it off, and the other person can take away the Book of Law.

"The Wild Hunt will not chase the living. How about we just leave once we have the items and divide the loot in a safe place...?"

"Then who's going to attract the King of the Wild Hunt?"

Prince Wolfram asked rhetorically.

The Punishment Demon chuckled and said: "Of course, everyone depends on their ability. But if you are worried, I can go in first."

His dark golden vertical pupils were full of malice.

It's not that he doesn't know the identity of the King of the Wild Hunt, nor does he know the opponent's energy level - Elf Heleqin, his name is also famous among the giants. Without him, those ingredients might have been ruled by giants until now. His death kicked off the war against the Titans.

It is better to say that it is because the Punishment Devil knows Heleqin...

So he knows that no matter what order they enter Eagle Point Village, Heleqin will definitely target Prince Wolfram and fight!

Heleqin's deep hatred for giants will invalidate the rule that "Wild Hunt will not hunt down the living".

The King of the Wild Hunt at the sixth energy level is very likely to kill Prince Wolfram if he chases him to death.

——His former master is, after all, a "great wizard" at the fifth energy level.

As an advanced profession of the spellcaster, he is too dangerous... It is easy to curse others, and that evil Jacob is at this level.

Now that the other party knows that he has become a Punishment Devil, he may use various countermeasure rituals against demons to target himself... He may even set a trap to capture himself, which is too dangerous.

And he himself did not dare to directly confront the world's strongest person at the sixth energy level. If the other party is a demon, he can still fight... But forget about the Wild Hunt.

Calling His Royal Highness the Prince here can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, he can entangle the King of the Wild Hunt, so that his plan to seize the Book of Law will proceed smoothly and will not be interrupted; on the other hand, the King of the Wild Hunt is also likely to kill his former boss and make himself truly free.

In order to jointly fight against the King of the Wild Hunt and obtain the Book of Law, this plan can also prevent His Royal Highness the Prince from cursing himself in advance. After all, the Punishment Demon doesn't know how many curse materials he has in his hands, and now that he has become a Punishment Demon, they are still useful - he doesn't dare to bet.

- In short, I win three times!

The Punishment Demon thought.

On the other side, Glass Island, the Temple of Silver and Tin.

Queen Sophia, lying on the bed, was chatting with Ligeia, who was sitting on her bed. But she suddenly paused, as if she heard something.

Then she smiled bitterly.

"What's wrong, Sofia?"

Ligeia raised her eyebrows, rubbed Sofia's arm with her dragon horn, and said loudly: "Someone made you unhappy? Do you want me to beat him up?"

"It was a report submitted by George."

Queen Sofia said slowly: "He said that the core members of the Noble Red, except for the two giant leaders Wolfram and Cassiem, have all been executed."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Ligeia was a little confused.

"Indeed, it would be better if George didn't send a copy of this news to the Supervisory Bureau and the Round Table Hall as soon as possible."

The queen sighed: "You two are the same... upright, powerful, but don't understand people's hearts. Avalon does need a big victory to boost morale... but we now need a clear enemy that is not as powerful as Star Antimony to increase cohesion."

During this period, Star Antimony's actions were very intense.

After the Star Antimony people failed to rescue Droste and Avalon killed a group of Star Antimony spies...Star Antimony also immediately killed the same number of Avalon spies.

This is a very dangerous signal. On the one hand, it means that many of Avalon's spies lurking in Xingtan have actually exposed themselves, or that Xingtan has very advanced spy-finding capabilities, and the intelligence they send back may not be useful or true, and the remaining ambushed spies may not be safe.

On the other hand, this also means that Xingtan's desire for war is very strong - they not only killed a group of inspectors sent by Avalon, but also reversed right and wrong in newspapers.

They described Avalon's behavior as "the strong xenophobia of the Avalon people, which made them kill Xingtan travelers and merchants and take away their property", and described the assassinated Avalon spies as "gang members who were mistakenly killed because of a fight with street thugs".

Sophia believes that this is Xingtan people building momentum for the upcoming war. In contrast, Avalon is not ready for this war.

This caused Edward, who was still in Iris, to be urgently recalled. But even so, the fact that Aiwas was about to take office as the Minister of No Matter still received a strong backlash from the Round Table Hall - it was unheard of to let a child who had just come of age succeed to a powerful and powerful minister. The Round Table Hall kept raising objections, using excuses such as he was too young and didn't understand Avalon.

Of course, as long as Sophia insisted on pushing forward, their objections would not take effect.

However, correspondingly, it was difficult to force them to cede their own interests. In the case of Minister Droste's death, they did not eat the cake he left behind, and directly cooperated to enter a state of full preparation for war - war costs money, and so does preparation for war.

In other words, they didn't really want to oppose Aiwas's succession to the Minister of No Care. They just wanted to find a fault to gain some political space for themselves.

Now the royal family no longer has other heirs - Isabel has no authoritarian path, and it is visibly unable to suppress them. Therefore, when the queen's health was getting worse, they began to think about it.

In the final analysis, they still didn't want to fight with the Star Antimony people.

Because the rule of the Star Antimony Kingdom depends largely on the traditions of the Herasl Empire that they inherited. Outside the radiation circle of the imperial culture, their influence is not great. In the end, they can only rely on the local governor to govern.

The Principality of Narcissus is a good example - except for the killing of the Prince of Narcissus, almost none of the high-ranking mages were replaced.

In other words, even if they lose the fight, it won't affect them. But if they insist on fighting, it's not certain who will die.

"This Avalon is really rotten."

After listening to Sophia's explanation, Ligeia sneered: "Is this the country of knights? It's really funny."

"It's all my fault... I'm too old."

Sophia sighed: "If I were younger, these problems could be solved; or if the Avalon Shadow Ritual could succeed, the ancestors could also protect Avalon."

"I think that if Lancelot I really resurrected, the first people he would kill would be those old knights in the Round Table Hall."

Ligeia shook her head.

She knew why Sophia insisted on making Aiwass the minister of no responsibility.

In essence, she wanted Aiwass, who was relatively trustworthy, to be the regent. To support Avalon during the transition period of the monarchy.

If they don't take action, Ligeia won't be able to do it either - and those with big names won't be able to do it either, because it will bring strong anxiety and chaos to the civilians.

The strongest group of strong men in the country suddenly began to use cruel means to eliminate dissidents on a large scale... Everyone knows what this means.

This means chaos.

The power and interest vacancies brought about by killing those people will cause certain areas to suddenly stop, triggering a series of unknown and unpredictable consequences. It may also cause the remaining people to fight for these cakes, and the people who are finally pushed up may not be more reliable than the previous ones.

For the same reason, if Aiwas is given the title of regent, it is easy to violate taboos.

But "ministers of no concern" are different. They are all at the same level, and it is normal for them to attack each other, especially within their own authority... As long as the queen pretends not to hear, she can let Aiwas attack others. If they are anxious, the queen can take sides; if they are not anxious, Aiwas can gradually seize their power.

Ligeia lacks a long-term vision for this matter, and listening to anyone's opinions may lead to her being used.

So she trusted no one and only obeyed the queen's orders.

Although Queen Sofia had enforced many policies when she was young... but when she got older, her administrative style tended to be conservative. Her previous plans were basically based on the Shadow of Avalon, but now that the ritual has failed, Avalon has no way out.

And now the Star Antimony people are eager to try, and any wound may attract their bite.

—— In fact, if you are ruthless, these problems are not unsolvable.

But the extraordinary people of the authoritarian path tend to be conservative and stable, and the higher the level, the more so. Even the Silver Crown Dragon is the same. This is the thinking mode determined by the characteristics of the path.

"In the beginning, the Round Table Hall was clearly established to emulate the Knights of the Round Table who advocated "equality" and "unity". The Founders' Family is also the descendant of the heroes who sacrificed themselves for Avalon..."

Sophia sighed: "Why has it become like this now..."

At this point, she can only trust Aiwass.

She also knows that putting such a heavy burden on a young man... is very despicable.

But she had no choice, and neither did Avalon.

"I think you're worrying too much. He should be very happy to kill people."

Ligeia complained: "That boy is not a good person."

An update of nearly 8,000 words! Here it is!

This chapter was actually finished at 8:40 in the morning. I couldn't sleep again last night. I felt that the air I exhaled from my nose was hot, and one of my nostrils was blocked. I was also very thirsty and my throat was hoarse. I couldn't sleep at all, so I got up at 4 in the middle of the night and wrote more than 7,000 words... Unfortunately, my work and rest schedule is going to break down again...

I will correct the typos when I wake up. I will probably wake up in the afternoon!
