Royal Palace, the night before the coronation ceremony.
Sitting on the chair, Jem curiously asked Ciel, who was sitting next to him: "Has there been any research results on that thing?"
Since killing Kalra a month ago, Jim Watts and Safi have divided each other's body equally on behalf of the two forces.
In this regard, Safi thought that Jem Watts was interested in the power of the devil, so she warned him many times, telling him not to be tempted by the things in front of him, fearing that he would be contaminated by the power of the devil.
There is no shortage of similar things in history!
After destroying the evil, the brave man was attracted by the opponent's power and became a new evil.
James Watts could only reluctantly express that he actually used the demon's corpse as a magic material, and did not mean to study demon power.
Regardless of whether the other party believes this statement or not, he himself believes it.
Then, he changed hands and handed over Karla's half of the body to Ciel for him to study.
Facing his inquiry at this moment, Ciel showed a smile and replied: "After a month of research, I found that the body structure of demons is completely different from the creatures in this world. They are more like energy creatures than flesh and blood creatures.
Every drop of blood is highly corrosive, and any creature that comes into contact with it may be attacked, ranging from being injured to being directly demonized or killed."
Hearing this, he found that Charles's words were missing. Jem thought that he was showing off, so he asked: "Um...then what?"
Still smiling awkwardly but politely, Charles shook his head with a smile and said: "Then it disappeared. The rest haven't been studied yet..."
Jem was shocked: "These are your results in a month??"
Although he had known for a long time that he might not be able to get anything out of his research, Ciel's performance was still a bit too rewarding.
What he said is recorded in the history books. Do you need him to repeat it again?
Looking at the other party's expression of being fooled, Ciel could only wave his hands helplessly, and was forced to tell the truth: "I am just a magician. If you ask me to study spells, I can still think of a way, but you let me
If I engage in biological research, it is indeed outside the scope of my field."
Jim was a little speechless and could only sigh: "...It seems to be the same reason. In this case, then just use the corpse to make a magic prop. It is better than letting you waste it."
However, Charles hurriedly shook his head and said: "There is no need to do that for the time being. I have already contacted a scholar who specializes in studying extraordinary creatures. Maybe he can study something."
When Jem heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he became interested, and asked: "Is that person reliable?"
"Although that person is very capable, he has an extremely withdrawn personality. He is the kind of person who is devoted to studying knowledge. I was able to have friendship with him because of some old things. Even I was a little surprised to successfully invite him here, so it should be
No problem."
He nodded with satisfaction. If Ciel could describe him as having strong abilities, then the other party had some abilities that could make people recognize him.
So Jem said: "If that's the case, then let's do it that way."
Looking at Jim who had already made his decision, Charles said nonchalantly: "Okay. But I feel that Orshiga doesn't seem to care about these things at all, and has never paid attention to our behavior. Even the devil came to the king.
He didn't care at all about all these things. Even when I met him last time, I deliberately told him that we had exterminated a demon to test his reaction, but his expression didn't even change."
"I can't understand his indifferent attitude. No matter who he is, he has his own needs."
Touching his chin, Jim said with a very puzzled look: "I never saw clearly what Orshiga was pursuing. Although he longed for souls and had the ability to plunder,
He has been staying peacefully, but what is the reason that is suppressing him? I think that when we find out the reason, we will be out of his control..."
"Maybe."
On the point of breaking away from Orshiga's control, he and Jim's positions were completely consistent.
Even if I try to change my ways now, my past pride still won’t allow me to be pinched by others.
After shaking his head to get rid of those messy things, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are going to be crowned tomorrow, so let me toast you in advance."
"grateful!"
Jim raised his glass and shouted back.
------
In the spotlight.
With a group of soldiers wearing gorgeous armor.
Walking through the streets surrounded by people holding flowers and flags, I stood in front of the palace gate.
Looking at the statue of his ancestors standing there, Jim Watts knelt down on one knee and closed his eyes solemnly.
"I, Jim Watts, will inherit the glory of the Watts family, follow the ancient tradition, lead the country, and protect my subjects!"
"No matter any difficulty, I will not be able to bow my head. I will continue to pass on the glory and let the flag of Marton stand in this land forever!"
"May the world protect us!"
Along with his oath.
A man, a woman, and two young children in gorgeous clothes, one carrying a crown and the other carrying a scepter, walked up to him.
Put the crown on Jim Watts' head and hand the scepter to his hand.
And Jim Watts also opened his eyes at this moment.
He stood up, turned his head, and looked at the subjects who were holding their breath and looking at him.
He held up his scepter with a solemn expression: "I, Jim Watts, your king, will inherit all the glory of the past and bring the Principality of Marton to its peak!"
Cheers sounded at this moment, and countless flowers and fireworks scattered from the sky!
From their joy, Jim Watts seemed to really feel that the people's expectations turned into weight and weighed on him.
His mentality couldn't help but undergo some changes...
--------
More than a year later.
The sun in the sky is at its peak at this time.
Since Jem succeeded to the throne, the national power of the Principality of Marton has been growing day by day, and even the royal capital has become much more prosperous than before, just like the star above it that is at its peak.
Sitting on a chair in the study, Orshika calmly took the tea from Trina's hand, her nose twitched slightly, sniffing the fragrance, and praised as before: "Very good tea art.
"
Looking at the person in front of him who looked smiling as always, but his heart was still beating a little faster involuntarily. With a smile on his face, Orshiga took a few sips of tea, and then commented while holding the teacup.
: "It's still that familiar smell."
Telina smiled reluctantly and said: "...I hope you like it."
After smiling nonchalantly, Orshika stretched out a hand and touched her cheek, feeling her body trembling slightly.
Between his brows, for the first time in his life, there was a look of pity: "It's such a pity. I really like you. Maybe it can't be called love, but you are indeed my favorite so far. I sincerely think
Take you with me."
"Perhaps this is the nature of creatures longing for companions..."
"Obviously I am a devil, I shouldn't have such emotions..."
Taking a gentle breath, the hypocritical smile on Telina's face faded, she looked directly into Orshiga's eyes and asked: "Why did you take the initiative to tell me the truth in the first place? You can obviously lie to me, if you keep
If you choose to lie to me, maybe I will always be lied to by you?"
After hearing this question, Orshiga thought about it and said with a smile: "Although I am a devil, I don't like lying very much, especially to important people, so I chose to tell you the truth directly.
.”
After listening to Orshika's words, Telina's face burst into an unprecedented smile.
Kissing him gently on the corner of the mouth: "Sir, thank you for your love!"
Feeling the fleeting tenderness, Orshika was stunned for a moment before smiling and saying: "Goodbye, Trina."
The next moment, a trace of scarlet light flashed, Telina's heartbeat stopped completely, and she fell towards Orshika with a smile on her face.
However, before his body came into contact with him, he turned into countless invisible particles and completely disappeared from this world.
Slowly retracting the hand that was stroking Trina's cheek just now, Orshiga sat on the chair, the smile on her face had completely disappeared, and her expression looked a little dull while holding the teacup in her hands.
He is a devil, so he should be used to betrayal.
Since he didn't want to leave, why would he take action directly?
Is it because she is so important that she cannot be forgiven?
He was confused about what was going on in his mind.
Soon after, there were bursts of hurried footsteps outside the door. James Watts, wearing armor, opened the door and walked in with a group of people.
Jim Watts, Duke, Ciel, Safi, and some other people who, although I can’t name them, are very capable.
In addition, there were thousands of people fully armed and equipped with exorcism tools standing at the door, and they had already surrounded the entire room.
Seeing Orshiga who had no reaction in front of him and didn't even look at himself and the others, Jim Watts showed a fleeting surprise on his face before he said solemnly: "Devil, today is yours.
Death date!"
After hearing what the other party said, Orshiga slowly looked at Jim.
There was no expression on his face, just a touch of indifference.
For him, the betrayal of Jem and others was something he had expected from the beginning.
It doesn’t matter whether they want it or not!
Under the influence of world consciousness, natives like them will subconsciously reject Orshika.
Like a bunch of marionettes.
In Orshika's mind, when they betrayed, it meant that the world's consciousness had reached its limit of tolerance for them, and they needed to immediately find an opportunity to make a fortune and leave.
Just like a one-time alarm, it is a consumable, so Orshika did not care about their thoughts from the beginning.
As for Trina, it's completely different. She is a more important person.
Orshika's power protects her at all times.
Refusing the power of world consciousness to exert its influence on her.
So everything she does is her own true thoughts.
After raising the tea cup in her hand and drinking all the tea in it, Orshiga looked at Jem Watts calmly and said: "You don't have to worry that Trina didn't complete her mission. I did drink the medicine."
After all, this is the last cup of tea she made for me, and I can't waste it."
Seeing the other party calmly put down the teacup in his hand, Jim couldn't figure out Orshiga's thoughts as always, but he also knew that there was no choice now, so he directly ordered: "Attack!"
A large number of arrows coated with holy medicine flew out of the window instantly, and a large number of soldiers also drew their weapons and were about to attack Orshiga who was sitting on the chair.
I saw Orshiga flicking the nearest arrow casually,
Deflect its direction towards the other arrows nearby, causing them to collide with each other.
After a series of collisions, all the arrows fell beside him, none of them hit.
Not far away, the soldiers who were about to attack Orshika with their swords were dumbfounded and even slowed down involuntarily.
When they saw Orshiga leave her seat and stand up, they subconsciously took a step back.
Ignoring Jem's ugly expression, Al casually grabbed a soldier, and a soldier was sucked into his hand from a distance.
He pinched the other person's neck and said to Jem Watts: "I suddenly had an idea. If death is inevitable, can you at least make it look more beautiful and dazzling?"
The next moment, the soldier in his hand exploded into countless blood mist, and only a delicate and bright red flower remained in his hand.
The flower is divided into seven layers, each layer has six petals. The petals are closely together, making it look somewhat similar to roses and camellias, but more slender. The petals are surrounded by bursts of lasting blood.
The mist has a hazy beauty.
Orshiga held the flower and looked at it with satisfaction for a while, then asked James Watts: "Look, isn't it very beautiful? Maybe we can call it the Death Tribulation Flower?"
Before Jem could speak, Safi looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help scolding her with a very ugly face: "Devil, you dare to be so arrogant, we will definitely kill you today!"
Scarlet eyes glanced at the other party slightly, ignoring his scolding. With a smile on his face, Orshiga gently threw away the flower in his hand: "I am looking forward to whether you can do it, after all, my current mood
It’s not that great either.”
After speaking, Orshiga's appearance began to change. Curved horns grew from the top of her head, wings stretched out from her back, scales and exoskeletons continued to emerge, and her height also increased from 1.8 meters to 3 meters.
Around seven.
The wings flapped slightly, and a strong wind surged up!
The walls and roof of the house were completely blown away, along with a large number of soldiers.
Not caring about their chaos, Orshiga looked at the [Rune Arms-Scarlet] on his body with some dissatisfaction. He suddenly felt that these patterns were a bit unsightly!
As he thought, the appearance of those runes began to change, and they turned into the appearance of death calamity flowers and were engraved on his exoskeleton.
He smiled and said: "This is much better."
The next moment, a scarlet pillar of fire pierced the sky with him as the center, and then spread out hundreds of meters in the sky, like a huge opened umbrella, covering the sun in the sky and covering the entire royal capital.
Sky.
Countless meteors began to fall like fire rain.
As if the end was coming, despair was brought to everyone.
Faced with this situation, Jim Watts, who had just stood up from the ground, his eyes were blank as if he had lost his soul.
Finally, with a crazy look, he held up his weapon and rushed into the pillar of fire...
