Bride of the Great Demon King

"As descendants of the greatest heroes of mankind, the Jialan royal family will be blessed by the God of Light upon birth."

……

"Twelve isolation areas are no longer enough. This morning they actually proposed to prepare another twelve isolation areas. If this continues, half of Notley City will be submerged by the plague."

"Not only that, the food supply in the quarantine area is becoming more and more difficult. No one is willing to send supplies in, and even the best soldiers are starting to flee. As of yesterday, we have lost contact with three areas. It is said that It has become a hell on earth! Those patients even started to eat the corpses in order to survive!"

"The Church of Light has never had good news, even though they claim that the saint has been praying around the clock. Although the holy water can temporarily block the spread of the plague, it has little effect on the infected patients. And the production of holy water is not easy , If it continues to be used like this, all the reserves accumulated over hundreds of years will be used up, and it is impossible for the church to provide holy water without limit."

"The most hateful thing is that those nobles are still scrambling to snatch the resources that should belong to the common people! Just yesterday, they blatantly removed [-] barrels of holy water! Thirty barrels! It can support the entire East City from infection. Half a month's worth was actually used to treat the prime minister's young daughter! They weren't even sure if it was effective! This is theft! This is theft! If the common people find out, it will definitely cause a commotion! And I, in the name of the first prince, can't bring these thugs to justice, just because the queen mother thinks that there should be no discord among the noble class! God! Have you really brought us the most pious Has the believer abandoned it?"

"Now the only ones who are confirmed to be able to cure the plague are the Plague Cultists. This group of greedy people swarmed like a vulture smelling a dead body. The tent they set up in the northeast corner of Notley City was a kilometer long! The poor civilians donated all the wealth they had accumulated all their lives to them, and only then did they get back the lives of their loved ones. They are simply more terrifying than the legendary vampires! Oh! Sorry! I came to see you, but I couldn’t bear it as soon as I opened my mouth. I can't stop complaining to you."

After complaining a lot in one breath, the prince suddenly realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate.This is like a wonderful fate, every time he sees the young man, he always has the desire to confide in him, which makes him almost involuntarily rush to the general's mansion to report every morning.Maybe it's just because the teenager won't be obsequious when facing himself like others but secretly plotting?thought the prince, not without sentimentality.

"It's okay. You just mentioned...the Plague Cultists?" The blond boy thought thoughtfully.

When the Great Demon King sent himself back to the surface world for the first time, he used the costume of the Plague Cultist, which was feared by the world, as a cover for himself.It is said that the plague believers believe in the twelve-winged poisonous angel. Now it seems that this image is very similar to the real body of the Great Demon King. Is there any connection between the two?

"Yes. In fact, there is another top-secret information. You must not tell anyone. Those greedy plague cultists have already proposed the final price to me." The prince lowered his voice and said.

"The final price?"

"The entire treasury of Jialan, this is what they want, the price to end this plague!" The prince shook his fist angrily, "These unproductive pagans want a kingdom number at the very first word!" All the savings in the past hundred years! It is also a beautiful name, as long as the lives of the common people are saved, they can continuously provide money and wealth for the nobles like livestock! By the way, regarding this matter, you must pay for it. I keep it secret. Although anyone with a long-term vision will never accept this asking price, if it is found out by the people who are already in deep despair, it will definitely trigger a terrible riot. I even doubt now that those rumors are Really, the plague itself was brought by those plague believers! In order to satisfy their greed, they actually took the lives of millions of people as bargaining chips! I will never compromise with them, and I have sent people to investigate what they used to treat the plague. The medicinal materials used. Hmph! To deal with these demons who are trying to drain the blood and sweat of the people, this dishonorable method can only be used."

Although most of the time, Bairiel felt that the first prince of Jialan had a rather noble character, but the last words of the prince still deeply aroused the young man's disdain.Sure enough, he is a hypocrite who believes in the God of Light. Even when special means are needed, he will automatically find reasons for himself to look upright.

From the boy's point of view, it is a very reasonable transaction to sacrifice all his family property in exchange for his life, at least for the devil.No matter how little the Plague Cultists spent to save the patients, this is their unique power. No one can despise this transaction because of the small cost, thinking it is not fair.

Therefore, if the Great Demon King knew what the young man was thinking at this moment, he would definitely feel very relieved and lament that he has become a qualified demon.

"About the Plague Cultists, I think they may know where my family is." The boy suddenly said calmly.

"What?!" the prince couldn't help being surprised.A few days passed, and the boy's family members never showed up.This made the prince suspect for a while that his family should have left the capital, and he was left behind or robbed by bandits when he left in a hurry.

"I vaguely remember that I was once taken to the camp of the Plague Cultists, so they probably could recognize me." The young man suddenly discovered that he had an excellent talent for lying.

"Are you sure?" There is often only one reason for the nobles to go to the camp of the Plague Cultists. An important family member is infected with the plague.If the transaction is established, I am afraid that the boy's family has already lost their fortune.However, judging from the scepter with the image of a poisonous angel in the young man's hand, there is also a very small possibility that he simply bought some kind of props to prevent the plague?

A wonderful idea suddenly came to the prince's mind.If the boy's family has really lost their previous wealth and status, even if they help him find his family, it may not be possible for him to return to his old life.Now, since he has lost his memory, perhaps it is the arrangement of the God of Light, so that he can take better care of this poor boy.Of course, it would be even better if he could get the boy's origin from the Epidemic Cultists, and use a little bit of privilege to make his family's life roughly the same as in the past.

"Well... I'm not [-]% sure about this. But when you mentioned the plague cultists, I do have a vague impression in my mind. If I can go again, I should be able to remember something." The young man intentionally Make the words ambiguous.

"That's it... I don't feel at ease when others accompany you, why don't I take you there! Anyway, according to what the queen mother wants, in order to... get a batch of special medicine first, I have to discuss with them again."

The prince's unnatural pauses in his speech made the boy feel that he was hiding something on purpose.

Every time he talked about the plague cultists, he was always angry and helpless, making people feel as if he had some sore feet and was caught in the other party's hands.

What is it?

The boy unconsciously began to think.

"This afternoon... just this afternoon! May I take you to the camp of the Plague Cultists?" Although he was very unwilling to see those heretics who he thought were too much for him, the prince still had to consider the urgency of the situation . "Remember to stay with me, don't touch anything casually, that place is very dangerous."

"Okay." The boy nodded solemnly.

The main shrine of the Church of Light, the Tower of Prayer——

"!" The girl in a white robe standing on the high platform suddenly opened her eyes.

"Is it an oracle?" the priest kneeling first asked eagerly.

"Do not……"

The answer of the Holy Maiden of Light made everyone feel disappointed.It has been 21 days since I have been praying here without sleep, but the God of Light has not issued a decree. This makes people have to suspect that this plague has some kind of punishment.It's a pity that God's thoughts are never what mortals can guess. Even if they know that this may be a punishment from God, they still can't find the cause of the disaster.

"This is a prophecy..."

The words of the Holy Maiden of Light lifted the spirits of the clerk and priest beside him, and he quickly picked up his pen to record the content of the prophecy.The saints of the Temple of Light in all ages have a certain ability of foresight. According to legend, this is a unique and great gift bestowed by the God of Light to human beings.Especially when God's revelation cannot be obtained, the ability to predict can often help human beings out of the predicament.

"A boy who possesses the power of light and darkness at the same time, his choice will determine the future.

The red plague comes from the north, the rotten maggots gnaw the land of the south, and the noble blood is defiled by the undead.

The hope of life is the beginning of death.

It all started with a bad decision.

Die and return to the ground. "

The clerk's quill fell to the ground.
