Bride of the Great Demon King

Chapter 156 The Queen of the Dead City

"The usual undead magic will transform part of the skeleton into the core of the undead. As long as the core is not completely destroyed, the undead will not lose their mobility. My magic is different. Link all the cores of the undead to On the same bones, that's the secret that I can make them immortal.

—Queen of the Dead City”

……

The resplendent palace, the personable crowd, the exquisite and delicious food, the sight of the cups and cups.No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a perfect royal banquet.

However, the white-robed girl's eyebrows have not been loosened since she entered the palace.

"Her Majesty the Holy Maiden doesn't seem to be very interested in the dinner party?" The young man who was holding a wine glass showed excellent upbringing in every move he made.Although he is the protagonist of the dinner, he still maintains a very low-key and modest style.This is Jialan's first prince.

Rhine Hetway shook her head, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "On the contrary, I have gained a lot from the close observation tonight. By the way, I forgot to wish Your Highness a happy 22nd birthday!"

"Thank you." The prince also raised his glass with a smile, "I hope Jialan goes well for the rest of this year. By the way, I heard that holy-level light magicians can use the plumpness technique to make the earth fertile and speed up Is it true that the growth of plants is true? Due to the impact of the plague, this year's spring plowing has been greatly hindered. I really hope..."

"I'm afraid I can't do anything about this dead land." Reinhardt Wei cut off the prince's words.

The prince was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness must not have visited the fields recently, right? The dead air of Notley City has spread to the suburbs. Although the farmers are still working in the fields, the plants on the ground can only maintain their original state."

"How is it possible?! Is it corrupted by dark magic?" The prince couldn't help but worry.Will Jialan face the test of famine after the plague?

"Maybe! So far, there is no magic that can make creatures hover between life and death for a long time. They are neither pure undead nor living things. I even started to admire this The mastermind behind this incident is here!" The white-robed girl grinned.

"The mastermind behind the scenes? Is Your Majesty saying that someone is deliberately destroying the land here? No, this matter is related to Jialan's future. If possible, please let me join your Majesty's investigation. The entire Royal Guard Everyone can do their part for this." The prince said very sincerely.

"No, Your Highness, you still don't understand." Reinheit Weiruo smiled meaningfully, "You who were resurrected because of the death here will not be able to help me."

"Death? Isn't the recovery of Notley City a miracle from the God of Light?" The prince was puzzled.

"I can clearly tell Your Highness that the city of Notley is dead and has never been resurrected. Although I can't fully understand the unknown power that supports His Highness standing here, it is definitely not a gift from my Lord! "

The sharp eyes of the girl in white robe made the prince even more confused. "How, how is it possible?"

"Be sober, Your Highness! Look at the people standing here, has any of them touched the food at the banquet? No, no one! Because the dead don't need to eat!"

"Impossible, impossible. Maybe everyone just lost their appetite temporarily." The prince retorted cowardly.

"Really? Then please His Highness prove it with a small piece of pastry!" The white-robed girl picked up two pieces of delicate-looking pastries from the tray on the table, and handed one to the prince. "Please use it! Just like me, put the food in your mouth, chew it a few times, and then swallow it."

The young prince suspiciously imitated the girl's movements, opened his mouth and almost put the pastry in, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and his trembling fingers paused in the air.

"Your Highness, do you understand now? As an undead, you are bound by race and cannot eat at all. Your Highness George! You have the most noble blood of Jialan flowing through your body, that is a hero blessed by my lord Bloodline. Please go back and think about it! Do you want Jialan's glory to be tarnished like this?" The awe-inspiring aura emanating from the Holy Maiden of Light made the prince take a step back involuntarily.

"me……"

"Please don't forget the meaning of Jialan, the flower of flames! I will bid farewell today."

The white-robed girl turned and left, leaving the panic-stricken prince behind.

"vomit!"

Walking out of the brightly lit banquet hall quickly, until she came to a remote corridor, Reinhetwei had a chance to forcefully vomit out the food she had just swallowed while supporting the colonnade.

The seemingly exquisite dim sum exudes a rotten taste as soon as it is eaten.

Even the food here is full of dead air!

"Miss Rhine Hetwig, are you okay?"

In the vigilant eyes of the girl, a gentle woman approached slowly with a smile.The crown of lilies on her head was adorned with a few drops of dew, adding to the allure of this already beautiful lady.

There is only one person in this palace who can call himself that.

That great woman whom she regards as her benefactor.

A sense of despair suddenly rose in Rhine Hetwig's heart.

For the patron saint on her breast—the shackles of St. Paul—was vibrating gently in warning.

Now in this beautiful skin is no longer Garland's most beloved queen, but a demon.

A terrible demon!

The towering city walls of Sacred Heart City are even nearly twice as high as the world-famous Notley City.This fortified city built on the mountain has experienced countless bloody battles, large and small, in the more than 100 years since it was built.

Unlike the peaceful region consisting of the stable Jialan Kingdom and its vassals, in the cold Northland, men shed blood for the land every year.Years of wars between more than 21 kingdoms have reduced the small population here to an astonishing extent.Usually, a nobleman with 500 guards can already declare independence, get his own land in troubled times, and then be swallowed up by other forces.The people can't tell their nationality, they only know that they are being forced to leave their homes and go to the battlefield with swords.until a man appeared.

Theodosius, the golden lion of Florence.

According to legend, that man's blond hair is as dazzling as the sun. He is the crystallization of love between the God of War and Luo Jieer, the Flower of the Northland, and he is a demigod living in the world.His sword can cut off all weapons in the world, and he repelled the attack of tens of thousands of neighboring countries with only 200 people.In the 20 years since he inherited the throne, the walls of Lone Wolf City, which was renamed Sacred Heart City, were built higher and higher, while the number of kingdoms in the north became fewer and fewer.Until the beginning of last year, the entire north finally fell into the palm of the golden lion. Even the Northern Bright Holy Church, which was once above the king, moved the Great Holy Church to the Sacred Heart City.

As early as when he entered the outskirts of Sacred Heart City, Duke Teredo put on his silver mask again.Although in terms of the arrogant nature of the vampire, he didn't have any respect for the human monarch here, but the order from the dark prime minister still forced the Duke to abide by the rules of the black warrior.After all, this secret organization is still directly under the jurisdiction of the Golden Lion on the surface.

Bailiel will be arranged to wait outside the hall, and the Blood Duke goes to report the situation to the king with some reluctance.

"So, is the saliva of the plague lord Abaddon still effective?" the blond man sitting on the throne asked lightly.

Far less exquisite than those of the other kingdoms, the throne of Florence is, in fact, an ordinary chair.It is said that the Golden Lion ordered all these unnecessary luxuries to be removed as his military expenses on the day of the construction of the palace, which greatly promoted the simplicity in the kingdom.However, Duke Teredo would rather believe that any decoration is superfluous for this man. No matter where he stands, the aura emanating from this tall man with profound features is enough to make people look sideways.

Of course, compared with my king's terrifying coercion, it is still far inferior.

His Excellency the Duke concluded in his heart.

"Yes. Three drops of the Plague Demon King's saliva should have been enough to destroy Jialan." The Duke frowned slightly under the mask.This human king was able to obtain the things from the sleeping Plague Demon King and used them to create a terrible plague. How much power is hidden behind him?

"It's a pity that the God of Light always likes to have trouble with me." A cold light flashed in the king's golden eyes.

"Your Majesty, I don't think that the miracle in Notley City was done by the God of Light."

"Really?" The Golden Lion's expression remained calm, as if he wasn't surprised by the Duke's judgment at all, "All I care about is how much strength Jialan still has?"

"It is impossible for human beings to truly return to life. No matter what kind of power maintains the appearance of recovery, it will not last long. The old king of Jialan has already drunk my blood, and even the soul belongs to me from now on, and His descendants are as vulnerable as a docile kitten."

"Very good." The king nodded, "What about your second task? Where is the thing I want?"

"Here." The Blood Duke put a necklace on the tray, and the guards presented it to the king. "The tears of St. Thomas, the most fascinating of the Twelve Sacred Vessels, are hidden in this sapphire."

"Excellent! You will receive the reward you deserve." The golden lion only picked up the necklace and glanced at it, then signaled the guards to take it away.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Blood Duke just nodded slightly.

"I heard that you brought me a pleasant surprise?" The king smiled and narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't care about the Duke's rude behavior at all.

"Your Majesty, the person you are looking for is outside the palace. But you'd better find him a skilled healing magician as soon as possible."

"Our guest is infected with the plague?" The golden lion raised an eyebrow.

"No, it should be because the body is overwhelmed." Duke Teredo smiled imperceptibly, "After all, what is sleeping in his body is the sword of Seraphim, which is far more powerful than the holy weapon."
