Bride of the Great Demon King

"With a spear tipped with bile, the Great Demon Lord stands before night-howling hellhounds, spreading death as he goes."

……

Bailiel is blind.

There was a reason why the people in the village were not stingy with food to raise him as an abandoned baby.Every 12 years, there will be a terrible roar in the cave in the back mountain. There are monks stationed there all the year round, and it is one of the seven entrances to hell in the legend.

Only a pure body and soul can appease the anger from the depths of hell once every 12 years. This sacrifice is called the Bride of the Great Demon King.

Early in the morning, Bailie had a rare meal.He was no longer wearing coarse cloth clothes, and the soft and cool touch made him feel very novel.He was carried into the cave.The nose is filled with moist air and a strong smell of sulfur, and the cavern is filled with high-pitched whistling noises.As it continued to deepen, the eerie atmosphere around it seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.But Bailiel didn't feel scared, he even hummed a song in a low voice.

It was a song he once heard a girl sing.This kind girl once gave Bailier half a piece of unspoiled bread, and she was humming this song at that time.However, since he was woken up by the girl's screams in the middle of the night three years ago, Briel has never heard her voice again.

Should be dead, right?But he is still alive.

A smile appeared on the boy's mouth.There is nothing wrong with being the bride of the Great Demon King, at least in this month, he ate five full meals and took a bath for the first time.

The tune that Bailiel hummed was very cheerful. He didn't know that it was a celebration song that people sang in the night of the summer carnival, but he just remembered the tune out of pure liking.He heard the village head walking in front of him cursing him as a "blind man who doesn't know how to live or die" in a low voice.Bailiel could tell that even though the Great Demon King had never had any record of embarrassing the person who escorted the sacrificial offering, this middle-aged man who usually liked to boast was still very nervous.

"My lord, how far do we have to go? Didn't we stop here last time?"

Bailie couldn't help being surprised, because the village head rarely spoke so respectfully.

"This is a great sacrifice once every 120 years. We must summon the Great Demon King on the altar." The hoarse voice contained obvious dissatisfaction and warning, "If he is not satisfied with the sacrifice, he must make another sacrifice within three days .”

"Don't worry, my lord, men and women are not a problem. My great-grandfather once used a boy as a successful sacrifice. I can guarantee that this boy has never been touched by anyone."

"But he's blind."

Bailier was a little dissatisfied.What happened to the blind man?As long as he has touched the fancy pattern, he can weave the most complicated rattan blue!

"Since he lives underground, the Great Demon King will definitely not care about this." The village chief said with confidence.Bairiel had heard him counting money at night.One gold coin, two gold coins, three gold coins... No one is willing to sacrifice their own children, and bribing the village chief is undoubtedly the best way.It wasn't until the sacrifice was approaching that the village chief announced his decision to use Bailie, who was raised by the villagers, as a sacrifice to the Great Demon King.

The group continued to walk forward slowly.Suddenly, a man carrying a stretcher tripped over something, and the stretcher fell to the ground. The immediate result was that Bairiel's knee was knocked apart after falling down.The boy frowned in pain, and the roar from the depths of the cave seemed to suddenly become more violent.Bailiel seemed to vaguely hear the laughter of a woman in front of him.

"Damn, you can't see blood here, are you looking for death?" The monk with a hoarse voice couldn't help cursing.

Something was quickly smeared on the wound, and Bairiel felt someone tightening his knee with a cloth strip.

"Go!" the monk urged in a low voice.

The stretcher was lifted up again, and even the village head and monks joined the stretcher-carrying ranks, and the speed of advancement suddenly became much faster.Bairiel heard the woman's laughter again, this time from behind them.

"Oh! My God! What is this?" The stretcher stopped suddenly, and the voice of the village chief was full of panic.

Bailier suddenly smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.His sense of smell was so much better than the average person's that he almost fainted.

"The gate of hell has been opened, put people down, let's go." The monk made a decisive decision.

With a sudden fall, Bailiel felt that he was placed in the place where the smell of blood was the strongest.He smiled and began to play with his fingers with his head down.He knew that these people couldn't leave, because the group of laughing women had surrounded them!

The icy wind blew past my ears. This is the body of those poisonous mist witches, right?Bailier thought.He had heard people say that outside the gates of hell, there were witches who liked to suck human blood.

The successive screams lasted for about a quarter of an hour, mixed with the gurgling sound of blood being sucked out of the body.The sound of footsteps that were almost indistinguishable lingered beside him for a moment, and then gradually faded away.

It turns out that the Poison Mist Witch can really change into a real body by sucking the blood of living people... He suddenly thought.

"You don't seem to be scared at all?"

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from not far away.Bairiel was startled, and felt a warm palm caressing his knee, tearing off the cloth strip that made his calf numb.

The warm warmth flowed over the knee, and Bailiel reached out his hand to touch it, and found that the wound had miraculously disappeared, and that small piece of skin was even smoother than other places.

"I don't need to be afraid." Without hearing the sound of breathing or footsteps, Bailiel could only roughly guess the opponent's position.The boy raised his head and showed a bright smile: "Because I am the bride of the Great Demon King."

After a long time, the gentle and elegant male voice sounded again, this time the voice came from Bailie's left side.

"Interesting, can't my little bride see?"

The palm was held up by a warm hand.

"Then, please allow me to lead the way for you."

Bairiel obediently held the palm that was much bigger than his.

"Thank you." The boy whispered.

This is a ladder going down.

Even though the bloody smell mixed with sulfur smell made Bailiel feel very uncomfortable, he left without hesitation.The people in front deliberately made footsteps to guide him, which made the young man feel warm in his heart.In fact, Bailiel is not worried about falling. In fact, it is not a big deal even if he falls. After falling countless times since he was a child, he can already deal with any uneven ground. Best protect yourself.Of course, the time last winter when he was thrown into a trap more than two meters deep for wild boars does not count.

"There are 760 steps in total. I am afraid that with your physical strength, we must go to the Summer Palace to rest halfway."

"Believe me, it is not my intention to live so deep underground. If I can, the world above the surface is what I would like to conquer. God knows how troublesome it is to pave the way with crushed skulls. I even Some spines had to be added. The thought of having these humble bones under the boots makes me cringe.”

"Oh, the door on the top floor seems to have been forgotten to close. But it seems impolite to leave you at this time, why don't you let it open for a few more days! You must know that even in hell, there is a need for ventilation."

There was a sudden stabbing pain in the ankle of the left foot.

"Ah! How dare these annoying weeds cling to your noble body! If they don't have brains, I should dig out their brains and make juice!"

Soon, the tingling was replaced by a warm sensation.

"Okay, I've ripped them off. I promise you no harm to your beautiful skin. Watch out! The road ahead is hot, I just burned all the weeds with hellfire."

"So, you come from the world above the ground, is there any news there? Please say anything! Don't worry, even the old news that has turned yellow and smelly is very new to me. It's been 360 years since the last time I set foot on the ground!"

"Look at my stupidity! You have gone so far that your lips are white and I didn't even notice! Please forgive the recklessness of a man who only hears a few news in 12 years. Well, here we are. Welcome to the iron prison Fort, my summer palace."

Bairiel heard the creaking sound of the rusted iron door being opened, and a large group of rancid things screamed and flew overhead.

When he finally sat on the soft chair, Bailiel rubbed his sore calf with small movements.

As a blind man, his range of activities often does not exceed 50 meters.Moving from one unobtrusive place to another, from one job that doesn't require the use of the eyes to another, that's all.So even though he just kept going down the stairs just now, it was quite a challenge for him.The Great Demon King's footsteps were not fast, but for a child who was only 12 years old and was chronically malnourished, his one step was definitely worth two or three steps of Bailiel.

"Then, my little bride, please allow me to carry you to the bathroom. Let me complain, those inferior spices in the ground world are really not worthy of your noble status, not to mention that you also need to change into a dress."

Bairiel felt an arm go through the crook of his leg and another support his back.There was still no sound of heartbeat or breathing, which made him a little curious about the magical creature named "Great Demon King".Don't they all have to breathe?Like plants?

There were crisp footsteps in my ears, it was the boots of the Great Demon King hitting the ground.It seems that except when he first appeared, the Great Demon King has been deliberately making noise while walking.Bairiel was a little grateful for this, he was not afraid of the dark, but the silent world did make him feel terrified.

The clothes were quickly removed, and Bailie suddenly felt that if there was a competition called "Undressing Contest", the Great Demon King would definitely be number one.

The body was slowly put into the water, and the boy was surprised to find that, unlike the bloody smell that had been permeating the air, the bath water actually had a faint sweet fragrance.

Quietly dipping some of it with his fingers, Bailiel only took a sip, and felt that he had already fallen in love with this taste.

"Virgin's blood. Unlike the counterfeit products on the market, this is all from the blood of girls under the age of 12."

Bairiel blinked and licked his index finger again. "It doesn't smell like blood," he said, frowning.

"Oh, my little bride, I am pleasantly surprised by your calmness!" A kiss was branded on the side of the ear, and the big devil seemed to be smiling happily, "This is milk mixed with honey. Although I don't get any supplies from my compatriots , but the believers on the ground sent me a lot of useless things. Milk, flowers, silk, and even music boxes... Oh, can you imagine how useless these things are to a demon king God, you sneaked another sip, you must really like the taste of milk! But please let go of these poor bath water, I can offer you a big glass of the freshest and most delicious pure milk later. Do you know , Your expression now makes me want to burn that small village on the ground, have they never tried this drink for you?"

"I drank ale secretly." Bairiel corrected with puffed up cheeks.

The Great Demon King chuckled, and poked the boy's cheek with his finger: "I'm afraid you are not old enough to enjoy this liquid that brings evil to the world. Milk will be your only food for a long time in the future." Main drink, if you have the chance."

"What chance?" Bairiel asked suspiciously.

"Don't you know? It really disappoints me that so many brides don't survive their first night."

For the first time, Bairiel shivered because of the big devil's laughter.

"So I sincerely hope that you can live longer than them." The gentle man said in his ear.
