The Dark Lord was not deliberate at all. The fresh and clear sound quality and the leisurely and elegant tone were so powerful that it made Cohen stop all his actions and even made a roar in his heart.
Cohen was always cautious about important matters. Naturally, Cohen had simulated this extraordinary meeting thousands of times in his mind. He thought about the outcome of being defeated after a disagreement, and also thought of the outcome of having a pleasant conversation and then falling out.
But he never expected that the Dark Lord would say such a sentence, which would completely destroy his inner plan.
It has to be said that he knew very little about the Demon King before. This was a flaw that could not be made up for in advance. Therefore, Cohen had expected errors in judgment and left room for them. From another perspective, the real information about the Demon King was only
It can only be obtained through face-to-face contact, but this sentence is still too shocking.
"We have a way." The reverberation of the previous sentence was still lingering in Cohen's ears, and the Dark Lord repeated it.
Obviously, Cohen's previous predictions were overturned by these words, and his heart was touched by these words. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at the Dark Lord as calmly as possible - Cohen has never been a rigid person, since
If things change, of course he will change too.
"Your Majesty Sukmusa Isabant." Without any practice, Cohen pronounced the name of the Dark Lord smoothly, and strange magic fluctuations were released in the Four Seasons Courtyard with every syllable uttered from his mouth.
Even the air around him was trembling slightly. His strength surprised Emine next to him: "Did I mishear what Your Majesty just said?"
"You heard it right." The Demon King nodded gently and replied, "We have a solution, and this solution is because of you."
"How could it be because of me?" Cohen was really confused: "What can I do for this century? I'm just a mortal."
"We say you are a mortal, you are a mortal. We say you are not, so you can't even try to be a mortal." Although the devil's face was gentle, his words were not modest at all: "You don't have to belittle yourself, and you don't have to worry about other things.
The thing is, although I am the Demon King and have been given a dark name, I will not capture you as a sacrifice in the magic circle."
"Your Majesty is joking." Cohen smiled unnaturally, as if the Devil's words reminded him of unpleasant past events.
"In your opinion, do I look like I'm joking?" The Demon King's face straightened, but his voice was a little lonely: "No matter how powerful my magic power is, or even with the power of the God of Light, we can't change certain things.
The ending. This is the limitation of power, and only wisdom can solve this matter. No matter how powerful the power is, it is just a irony."
"If Your Majesty had a way, it wouldn't have been solved in the first century, so why wait until now." Cohen slowly expressed his doubts.
"This is a dilemma. Our thinking is a long process. No life can think further and more comprehensively than us. So when other life has the ability to betray, we will end the century." The devil replied: "
This is what a life watcher calls a limit, but he will never understand that we do this just to ensure that the thinking process is not interrupted."
"His Majesty the Demon King means that I will not interrupt this process?" Cohen seemed to have some understanding.
"Your ability has become stronger, and you have come into contact with the Life Watcher and the Awakening Calendar, but you have not transformed into a betrayer. Maybe you will not be very happy to hear this answer, but in fact, your individual strength is not right.
Our thinking poses a threat." The Dark Lord said: "Something is budding in the thinking process you revealed before. Over the years, our thinking has become a stereotype. Although this budding in your mind cannot be directly used for this matter.
Things can stimulate our thinking."
"According to the meaning of His Majesty's words, His Majesty's original intention was not to end the century, but he was just forced to have no choice? Forced by humans who have mastered the power to be unable to think normally?" Cohen's eyes flashed, and his inner thoughts surged, and he spoke more and more.
Slower and slower, as if overwhelmed: "And the words and deeds I inadvertently revealed can be used as a boost to His Majesty and others?"
"Your understanding is not wrong, but from your tone, it sounds like you are making a deal?" The Dark Lord smiled lightly and shook his head: "You were born and raised in Bis Continent.
Life, your wisdom does not belong to you alone. In essence, you are not much different from us. Of course you can also think about the problems we think about. And now, you can just help this century, I think
,You won’t refuse no matter what, right?”
"I don't know, I can't even control my own thoughts now." Cohen shook his head and said in a low voice: "His Majesty the Demon King should know that I have never been a person willing to save all people from misery, even when I am the emperor.
I was forced... Now I am suddenly asked to help this century... I..."
"Although you haven't answered me directly, I am sure that you are sincere. Sincere, it is a bit funny for a betrayer to use this word, but I am sure of it." The Dark Lord nodded, and Cohen's attitude seemed to satisfy him.
: "Of course, from a practical perspective, agreeing to this matter will also be of great benefit to you."
"What benefits do I need now?" A bitter smile appeared on Cohen's face: "I wonder what His Majesty the Demon King's solution is?"
"Yes, from the surface to the heart, I am very sincere! Even the powerful and perverted Dark Lord, you can't see the vision!" Another voice in Cohen's heart said coldly: "This is because I am talking.
I deceived myself before and replaced the words with clear directions with some ambiguous words, so I was not telling lies, but rather expounding my true thoughts with infinite sincerity! You have made a mistake in your own understanding, so you can’t blame me!
"
"For a long time, there have only been two alliances, the Demonic and the Divine, in Bisi Continent. Human beings and various races have worked with these two alliances as the core. This is a simple and rough classification, which also indirectly leads to the stereotype of our thinking."
The Dark Lord calmly announced: "But now things have changed and you have appeared, so we are thinking about whether to change the governance structure of Bis Continent."
"Change the governance structure?" Cohen followed the Demon King's wishes and thought: "When there is already an alliance between gods and demons?"
"That's right, if the two-party confrontation in Bis Continent is turned into a three-party wrestling, then Bis Continent will be much more exciting!" The Dark Lord said: "The newly joined force is the Bis Bea Alliance, and you are
The supreme ruler of this alliance!"
"How can this be?"
Cohen broke out in a cold sweat, and his tone of shock was not fake. No one else would have been able to imagine that the Dark Lord had such courage to establish a third party besides the two alliances - yes, Sibia
The empire has played the role of a third-party force on the mainland to a certain extent, but Sibia is just an empire! An empire is, after all, two different things from the divine alliance and the demonic alliance! Alliance, alliance! They have an empire that is incomparable
status!
"The alliance... not only requires strength." Cohen is still a human now, so his heartbeat is uncontrollably frantic: "The alliance not only needs subordinate empires, but also needs something that transcends the cohesion of the empire... such as faith..."
"Are you in need of these things?" The Dark Lord's tone turned cold: "Are you in need of the Sibia Empire?"
"He wants to kill me! He's being charged!" This was the first conclusion Cohen came to in the emperor's mind mode.
The first consequence of coming to this conclusion was that he knocked over the wine glass with his hand, and the next thought that came to his mind was - "Should I attack him violently? He is about to take action!"
"What an accident." A soft voice sounded. Her slender fingers held the wine glass, and then she rolled her eyes at Cohen: "I knitted this tablecloth with my own hands. If it is stained by wine juice, you have to pay compensation."
I."
Hermini's behavior was like a lightning bolt, alerting Cohen who was in a frenzy of thoughts and calming him down.
"Don't talk about whether I have the ability to overthrow the Dark Lord here, let's just say that the Dark Lord really has murderous intentions. Does he need to make up charges? He has done so many things in the end century, and he will do it to me.
A waste of time and words?" Cohen's inner confusion calmed down a little: "No, he won't do this, he must be playing a trump card!"
The flash of murderous intent on Cohen's body certainly did not escape the Dark Lord's sight, but he had no other reaction. Instead, Cohen was sweating profusely under his gaze.
"What His Majesty the Demon King said is so shocking, I'm so rude."
"Don't worry, for you, this is a normal emotion. Any superior person will have this reaction when faced with such things - suspicion, and strong backlash." The Demon King said calmly: "Although
Your excellence is worthy of recognition, but after all, you are just the emperor of the human empire. Your cultivation and scheming have not actually deviated from the scope of considering your own gains and losses in advance, let alone giving up everything for all sentient beings."
"So, in the face of a violent message, your mentality will naturally be unbalanced, which will lead to extreme insecurity and even murderous intentions." At this point, the Dark Lord glanced at Emine, and her reminder just now was just right.
With one word and one look, Cohen's rebelliousness and suspicion were resolved: "However, it's really tiring to talk to people like you. Your mind is sufficient, but your knowledge and tolerance still need to be polished..."
In some details, even if the Dark Lord wants to do it himself, he does not have the ability. In front of him, Cohen is just like an underage child. The Dark Lord does not have the patience, let alone enough affinity, to stand up to the strong power of
Now, if one word is wrong, it will really force Cohen to draw his sword.
"What a big deal." Her Royal Highness Emine said softly: "His Royal Highness Cohen even dares to fight the demons and even imprison the little princess of the demons. Is it so difficult to find a belief? In the end, as long as the king agrees, No need to pay attention to other people’s opinions.”
"Yes." Cohen smiled unnaturally, his face full of apologies, and said cautiously: "His Majesty the Demon King's idea came too suddenly, and Sibia... is still under the command of the Light God Clan..."
"I will naturally tell the God King." The Dark Lord replied in a tone that left no room for doubt: "He must agree."
"If that's the case, then of course I will consider it carefully..." Cohen's smile became more unnatural, and his words became bitter: "Actually, after listening to His Majesty's words, I felt very confused."
In Cohen's mind, the various words of the Dark Lord were colliding with the previous words of the source of life, confusing his state of mind! They each insisted on their own opinions and fought with each other, as if no one was wrong! All misfortunes stem from From each other’s ideas!
In front of the Dark Lord, it takes a lot of perseverance to speak vaguely or clearly. Although Cohen did not answer directly, in the eyes of the Dark Lord, he has already agreed. After all, Cohen is There is no resistance to this kind of thing.
"As for the specific details, how about letting Emine discuss it with you? Speaking of which, you have known each other for a long time, so you should be able to negotiate the details harmoniously." Facing Cohen, the Dark Lord held the wine glass in front of him for the first time: " Don’t worry, Amy’s status is high enough. She knows everything and can definitely set out conditions on my behalf.”
"Thank you, His Majesty the Demon King, for the wine." Cohen responded sternly: "But please understand, Your Majesty, I may not be able to think about it quickly."
"It's okay, you can think about it slowly." The Dark Lord stood up and smiled lightly: "I'm not in a hurry, you can talk slowly." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Send to the King." Emine stood up, bowed to the Demon King's back, and then looked back at Cohen, who was standing there stupidly.
"Your Majesty Cohen, it's our business now." She smiled at Cohen with indescribable tenderness and tenderness: "I didn't expect that His Highness's final opponent would be me!"
"You did it on purpose." Cohen sat down and shook his head vigorously, as if to get rid of the lost feeling: "It must be."
"What is intentional?" Emine sat opposite Cohen, with clear eyes and a pure smile: "What is your Highness talking about?"
"You knew about this decision of the Demon King early on. What's funny is that a few days ago, you were wandering around with me, and even picked the Black Skull and Bones Society's lair. Thinking about it, Princess Emine's behavior can be regarded as an insult to me. Is that sarcasm?" Facing the Dark Lord, Cohen certainly has no chance of winning, but this does not mean that he will be at a loss in front of Hermine. In fact, this is also the reason why the Devil left. With his status, it is difficult to negotiate with a reserved Cohen. Not close!
"If His Highness Cohen really thinks this way, then I will be a little angry. However, this sentence does have the effect of calming His Highness Cohen's mood, so I will not hold a grudge." Emine's smile made Cohen Seeing her in the past, I saw some old sentiments with a delicate style: "Speaking of which, Your Highness, don't be too stingy. After all, I hadn't woken up at that time, and the one who accompanied Your Highness was just a clone."
"To put it this way, I am stubborn." Cohen laughed at himself: "Your Highness Emine, now that everyone is open and honest, can you tell me who you are?"
"I am Hermine Isabant, a soldier under the king's command." Hermine kept her smile, but it was obvious that she was not joking: "The king's only soldier."
"I have treated the Dark Lord and the Dark Demons separately." Cohen thought about it according to what Emine said, and he naturally grasped the key: "In this case, the so-called Demon Princess..."
"They don't even know about this palace, and their status is not even comparable to that of the maids." Emine's eyes were lazier: "They are the best ones selected by the king from humans and other races in order to manage the Bes Continent. But.
Their sanity has been partially obscured, and they have no memory of the past, so they appear to have weird personalities. In their hands, Your Highness, you will suffer."
"It doesn't matter. As the saying goes, if you suffer a loss, you will take advantage." Times have changed, and Cohen doesn't care about it: "So, what about the Light God Clan? What is the true identity of the eldest princess of the God Clan?"
"It's not good to gossip behind people's backs." After hearing Cohen talk about the eldest princess of the God Clan, Her Highness Emine's expression became lazy: "If she loses her temper with you in the future, I can't control it."
"I understand." Cohen smiled bitterly: "Thank you for the reminder."
"What are you talking about? Do you want to get away with it?" Emine rolled her eyes: "When you signed the post-war treaty with the two alliances, I carefully studied your methods. You can't deceive me."
"How can I still use tricks against His Majesty the Demon King and His Majesty Hermini?" Cohen sighed, as if he had accepted the status quo helplessly: "What do you think of His Majesty the Demon King? Your Highness, please tell me!"
"The king's thoughts are not something I can guess, but fortunately the king has set a clear situation - the king needs you to establish a new alliance to add changes to the ruling pattern of Bis Continent, an alliance that can change the outcome of the century.
Changes." It was only then that Emine restrained her smile: "To put it simply, in the future Bis continent, in addition to the divine alliance and the demon alliance, there will also be a Sbia alliance."
"Is it simple?" Cohen shook his head: "Change the ending of the century?"
"Don't be discouraged, Your Highness, things haven't even started yet!" Emine naturally understood what Cohen was worried about: "When it comes to change, it should start with ordinary humans at first. Once people know that in addition to gods and demons, there is also a Si
If they choose the Biya Union, then they will have one more choice - the third choice of hundreds of millions of people, which will converge into great changes in the entire world and stimulate many brand-new events, and the processes and results of these events will inevitably
Expand your thoughts, my lord, and if you add up, the outcome of the century may be rewritten."
"To put it mildly, His Majesty the Dark Lord and the God of Light, after so many centuries, they have thought of everything they can think of. The end of the century is not so much a sign of human betrayal as it is the two of them.
An opposing mind entered into one..." Cohen pinched his open palm and said, "Certainly establishing another alliance can stimulate thinking, but can it have such a big effect?"
"I'm really confused, should I praise you for being smart, or should I scold you for being stupid?" Her Highness Emine frowned: "My Highness Cohen, do you really think that establishing a new alliance is just to stimulate the king's thinking?
After all, this is what the King has set up for you. The King wants you to mature as soon as possible and uses the structure of three alliances to promote your growth!"
"Don't scare me." Cohen lowered his gaze: "I'm not timid."
"You finally understand." Emine's face lit up: "You understand!"
Cohen was very unhappy. He had never encountered such an opponent. He had seen through his plan and was secretly happy. What were you shouting about? If you can, shout louder!
"Even if I understand it, whether I can do it is still unknown." Cohen said: "In establishing the Sbia Alliance, the first thing to change is not others, but me. Do you think that in my current state, I can still
Can I afford this kind of change? I can still talk to His Highness like this because I don’t regard myself as Cohen Keda, nor do I regard myself as Emperor Sibia..."
"What's the difference?" Amy asked, "Do you have any concerns?"
"Concerns?" Cohen's voice gradually became louder: "If I regard myself as the ruler of the Sbia Alliance, I'm afraid I will go crazy immediately!"
"Why? Are you not determined enough? Or are you not capable enough?"
"Have you ever managed an empire? Do you know how disgusting this is?" Cohen asked back: "The Alliance! That is not comparable to the empire. I have no goal of catching up above, and there is a group of people below who are playing power. I have no reliance.
I can't even find my own position, everything is smoke and mirrors, and the worst thing is that I saw the awakening calendar, and I know that if I don't perform well, the century will end faster! With the pressure from up and down, the internal and external environment will be different.
It’s so bad that I’m crazy and it’s okay!”
"It is indeed very troublesome." Emine covered her mouth and chuckled: "But this is what the king wants you to do. If you can do it, you will naturally grow."
"How can you spare me?"
"Stop dreaming. The king has spoken. You have no other choice." Emine said, "You have to do it. As for how to do it, that is your business, not my responsibility."
Cohen was silent, his eyes focused on the flying snow behind Hermini, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"I am very familiar with Your Highness's expression. At this time, you will not be able to pass the test by cheating." After waiting for a moment, Emine said: "The king wants you to use the current borders of Sbia and you.
The actual control area is to establish the Sibia Alliance. Under this alliance, there must be more than three empires, which means that the current Sibia Empire must be split."
"Whatever." Cohen's face looked a little tired.
"The Sbia Alliance has the same status as the Divine Alliance and the Demonic Alliance." Emine then explained: "As the supreme ruler, Cohen Keda, you can designate the royal families of various countries and establish a brand new
To unite the subjects through faith, you can also establish an institution similar to the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness to manage the faith of the subjects."
"Hmm." Cohen's thoughts seemed to be drifting along with the flying snow, and his response was as if he was talking in his sleep: "Just wait until the rat dies and it will be fine..."
In Emine's eyes, Cohen gradually turned into that confused, confused madman who would ask weird questions at any time! A heavy haze rolled in his pupils, and Cohen once again sank into the inner chaos.
…
With a soft sigh, Emine walked out of the Four Seasons Courtyard and sealed the surrounding space with a wave of her hand.
"Let him think!" Emine told the maids around her: "Don't disturb him." (To be continued)
