"Continue?" Glancing at Moriarty, who stood quietly in the center of the black flame vortex, the devil butler finally slowly shook his head: "Forget it, sir, since you can summon such a level of hellfire, it proves everything. If you continue
If you have any doubts, it would be really rude."
With that said, the old devil waved his hand, and the black fog and the few remaining mirror images disappeared.
When the light and shadow changed, Moriarty and the Devil Butler "returned" to the original corridor, facing each other as "calmly" as before.
"Oh, thank you for your discernment and 'impeccable' etiquette."
Looking at the old devil, Moriarty also smiled. At the same time, he put away the realm of darkness and negative energy, and the vortex of black flames slowly calmed down, and finally disappeared, no longer visible.
"Lord Davidson, please follow me. I think the master is already waiting impatiently."
Nodding, the devil butler turned around and continued to lead the way, his expression undiminished, as if the brief but intense confrontation just now had never happened.
"OK."
Moriarty said nothing and followed the old devil down the corridor again.
However, this time there was no need to repeat the long "hiking journey". After turning a few corners, a huge rotunda with silver and red as the main color appeared in front of the two of them.
It's really amazing. From a straight-line distance, this rotunda is just a stone's throw away from the corridor where the fierce battle was just now, but it doesn't seem to have been affected in any way. Obviously, this castle is so mysterious that even the aftermath of the battle between realms can be seen.
Completely covered up, or maybe the corridor where the confrontation just occurred is actually another independent demiplane space?
Upon thinking of this, Moriarty became more interested in the yet-unmasked Queen of Lies.
Under the guidance of the devil butler, Moriarty walked directly into the rotunda.
I saw a golden throne standing high in the center of the hall, several meters in the air, like a mini tower.
However, if you take a closer look, you will find that the throne is not actually made of gold, but is woven from unknown golden branches of different sizes and thicknesses. From bottom to top, there are layers on top of each other, and the branches are crisscrossed.
, although the construction method is close to the original, it shows a different kind of classical charm and natural flavor.
Moreover, around the Golden Bough Throne, there is naturally a pale golden barrier, but it has a faint aura. It is difficult to tell what this barrier contains.
On top of the throne, a petite devil with the face of a girl was sitting silently, his eyes slightly lowered, and he was unsmiling, as if he was lost in some kind of contemplation.
There is no doubt that that is the sixteenth-level "king-level" devil-Senia Oren!
At the same time, under the Queen of Lies, another ring-shaped round table completely surrounded the Golden Branch Throne. In front of the round table, high chairs made of iron wood were placed neatly, forming a larger concentric ring.
round.
On these iron and wooden chairs, more than ten devils and yakuza were already sitting.
Moriarty glanced at them and saw that the strongest among them were three at level 14, and the rest were all at level 13, including Redondo and Cech.
When they saw the devil butler and Moriarty entering the hall one after another, the devils in front of the table immediately turned their heads and stared at them. Pairs of substantial Yakuza eyes converged, even disturbing the originally quiet atmosphere.
, forming a line of fine ripples in the air.
But Moriarty just turned a blind eye to this and continued to move forward slowly. However, one thing made him doubtful:
Why are there only thirteenth or fourteenth-level yakuza in this round hall, but not a single "super" existence?
Regardless of Senia Oren's status and authority, or the importance of the "Secret Garden", the Queen of Lies should not just lead a group of "juniors" to fight without recruiting a few more powerful and dominant people.
A level 15 superpower. This is really counterintuitive. Or are there other secrets hidden behind it?
"Master, Lord Davidson brings you here."
The devil's butler's report interrupted Moriarty's thoughts. The atmosphere in the rotunda immediately shook.
Because he had arrived at the Golden Branch Seat, and the Queen of Lies was right in front of him, Moriarty did not raise his head rashly to look up, but first bowed to the sixteenth level on the high seat and said respectfully:
"I am Davidson, and I am honored to have your permission to come to the Castle. Under your leadership, the devil will surely defeat the devil and establish a kingdom of darkness in the world."
However, Moriarty's formal salute did not receive an immediate response. When his voice fell, the round hall was still silent. After a moment, the Queen of Lies on the high seat said lightly: "Just a little joke, I hope
Please do not mind that."
And as Xenia Oren's almost ethereal words sounded, the invisible pressure fluctuations created by the dark force spread throughout the entire rotunda. Not only did Moriarty immediately feel as if a huge force was pressing down on him.
, even the dozen or so demon yakuza who circled the table all had expressions changing suddenly, and they had to concentrate and hold their breath, and faced each other solemnly.
"He is worthy of being a level 16 'Dark Lord'. Just a few words can elicit such a response from the power of darkness. It is almost a replica of 'One word can decide life or death'."
Taking a deep breath, Moriarty mobilized more of the black flame power in the magic lamp to resist the importance of the dark power. However, after just a few breaths, he took the initiative to straighten his bent waist and raised his head.
Looking at the superior Senia Oren from a close distance, he said lightly:
"Don't dare."
Sure enough, upon closer inspection, the Queen of Lies' face is just like that of a human girl, but extremely delicate. If it weren't for the terrifying dark force surrounding her and the small horn on her head, Moriarty would
It almost feels like "meeting an old friend in a foreign country".
Seeing Davidson standing up so boldly to look up, the expressions of all the devils around him changed drastically. Especially Redondo and Cech winked, hoping that this ally would not act so unruly and strong.
Because according to rumors, there were also some reckless people who disrespected the Queen of Lies. The result was that not only the body was completely destroyed, but the soul was also pulled out and thrown into the poisonous flames and burned slowly for hundreds of years. It was extremely miserable.
Looking at Davidson who took the initiative to look at her, Senia Oren did not get angry immediately. She just looked at him and said:
"Your thoughts on energy and rules are very novel and worthy of continued research."
Hearing the Queen of Lies suddenly say these words, most of the surrounding devils were puzzled and had to look at each other. Only Redondo and Cech remembered the scene of the separation in the corridor before, and were thoughtful.
"Energy, rules, time, and space are the four cornerstones that build the planes. But any one of them involves too many and too difficult things. Therefore, the so-called 'research' is far from enough for me, just
It's just an endless exploration." Moriarty shook his head and withdrew his wanton gaze.
"Interesting newcomer...you can take a seat too." The Queen of Lies smiled silently and nodded again.
Seeing that Xenia Oren not only did not blame Davidson for his rudeness, but instead gave her a rare courtesy smile, the other devils present could not help but feel shocked again.
It's just that they didn't know that not long ago, this new talent, who was treated with special attention by the "Queen", received a wave of "warm reception" and even almost had his blood and essence drained.
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
Senia Oren's attitude was already extremely honorable, so Moriarty bowed to thank him again without any hesitation, and then sat down on an empty chair next to Redondo and Cech.
Seeing this, other powerful devils also withdrew their gazes and sat upright.
"Now that everyone has arrived, I will assign the following tasks."
There was no intention of group discussion or soliciting opinions from the public. The Queen of Lies just said it directly, obviously taking charge of the world.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
It has been many years since they have experienced such disgraceful treatment. The devils under Jin Zhi did not dare to have any dissatisfaction or objection. They immediately said in unison, expressing their full support for the dictatorship of the Queen of Lies.
.
"I have determined the location of the 'Garden' and generally know the surrounding barriers and restrictions. Therefore, I have gathered the strength of everyone here to break through the restrictions and enter the 'Garden'. I am more than 80% sure." The Queen of Lies glanced at the seats.
Next week, he nodded and said: "However, before setting off, there is still something that needs to be done first."
"Your Excellency, please give me your instructions. We will definitely obey you. Even if we risk our lives, we will never let you down."
Hearing this, a fourteenth-level devil at the ring table immediately stood up and shouted in agreement to Senia Oren who was sitting on the golden branch throne. At the same time, this strong man looked at her with a vague expression.
After deflecting a few moments, the object of his glance was none other than Moriarty, who was just sitting down.
"That is Lord Macchanan, one of the Queen's admirers."
Knowing that Moriarty did not know the other party, Redondo on the side took the initiative to explain to him. Of course, the method of secret transmission was used. Unless Senia Oren took the initiative to eavesdrop, there was no risk of being discovered by others.
"kindness."
Moriarty nodded slightly, but kept his eyes still.
It seems that this Lord Macchanan is not only extremely bold, and even dares to have wild dreams about the Queen of Lies, but he is also a jealous devil. He should have seen the "special treatment" given to Moriarty by Senia Oren just now, and thus
caused some hostility.
However, Moriarty has nothing to fear about this. After all, he is just a passerby. After finishing the "Secret Garden", he will rush to the mainland plane. He has no time to compete with others.
As for Macchanan's positive performance, the Queen of Lies just nodded with encouragement and continued:
"Because the devil also knows some rumors about the 'Secret Garden' and is eyeing it. So before going to the 'garden', we must first mobilize the attention of the devil's high-level officials so that they are unable to look away." (To be continued.)
