Bride of the Great Demon King

"The witch tried to poke her finger at the boy, but was disappointed to find that even in the world of mirrors, the boy's magic barrier was still functioning. The witch reluctantly lowered her arm and showed a weird smile.

Since you can't break through, let's do some tricks on it! "

……

After recounting the mirror maze rules he knew to Mensa, Bastian made another key conjecture.It is very likely that the time in this maze is not synchronized with the time in the real world.

"Are you sure?" Mensa was very skeptical.Time confusion magic is not so easy to see through for demons who are not specialized in this area.

"Well, I can only say that it is more than 13% possible. I asked your 'father', who is the village chief here. There is indeed a boy named Bailie in this human village, who is 12 years old. An abandoned baby who was abandoned at the gate of the village a year ago. He was adopted by a hunter named Will a year ago. According to your statement, Bailiel should have entered hell when he was [-] years old. He was stuck Mira was brought into the labyrinth at most half a day earlier than us, but at least a year has passed in the mirror world. So the time here is much faster than the flow outside. And I suspect that in order to wash away all his thoughts about hell The memory of the labyrinth world started before he became a sacrifice, and he has probably spent several years here."

"In this case... don't we have a lot of time to solve the mirror maze?" The devil couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"No. The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is for us to convince him. It is difficult for a person to muster up the courage to leave after getting used to the 'happiness' here. Don't forget, only he can open the way out. If he If we don’t cooperate, even the two of us may be trapped here forever. Even worse, if he dies here as a human, it’s hard to predict what will happen to the labyrinth.”

"..." Mensa stomped his feet irritably, "Anyway, let's find that young master tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Bastian smiled and rubbed the demon's hair, "Then good night, my dear 'sister'. My 'wife' is still waiting for me in the room!" The agile hellhound didn't wait for his fist It fell on the body and disappeared into the night.

"If you dare to do something to that woman!" The demon angrily crawled back to his room.

Early the next morning, the devil walked downstairs with dark circles under his eyes, followed the smell of food all the way and turned into the restaurant.Last night, the middle-aged man with mischievous eyebrows was not there, only Bastian and the woman with the sarcastic face were talking and laughing while eating.Mensa glanced at the smile on the face of his summoned beast, and suddenly lost his appetite. He raised his chin provocatively, and went out with his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker.

The Summoner turned less than three times in front of the open space at the door, and the helpless Bastian had already come to his side.Mensa deliberately raised his eyebrows: "You are so quick! Why, my dear 'sister' actually agreed to let you go out with me?"

"Please don't doubt my experience in dealing with females. In fact, there are always monsters in hell who want to borrow from rare bloodlines." Seeing that the summoner turned his head to one side in disgust, Bastian had no choice but to He took the initiative to grab his palm, "Okay! I admit that all my experience is about how to send them away. Let's go! I found out where Bailiel lives."

Halfway through, Mensa finally came back to his senses: "Why do I feel...you seem very happy to be here?"

Bastian smiled silently.

"This is it." The hell hound stopped in front of a small wooden house.

Mensa looked at the building in front of him, touched his chin: "It seems that our young master is doing well?"

"The happier life is, the worse it is for us," Bastian reminded.

"Anyway, even if you beat me, you have to wake him up!" the demon blustered and pushed open the wooden door.

"Who?" The boy sitting at the table raised his head vigilantly and listened attentively.

Unlike Mensa and Bastian, who kept their original clothes, Bailiel wore a sheepskin jacket that looked old.From the tailoring point of view, it seems that it has been resized according to the size of a teenager.The table is covered with a lot of wicker and a few woven pendants, which are obviously the result of the young man's busy work from early morning to the present.

That's right!It's that skeptical look!Sure enough, this young master is right!Mensa took a deep breath and strode towards Bairiel.

The summoner always has a subtle feeling for this human youth, a slight envy mixed with a little fear of his keen intuition.At the same time, as Bailiel's mentor, Mensa couldn't help caring about his first disciple, and he had to always be careful not to be discovered by the other party.

"Briel, we are here to take you back!" Mensa realized that the boy should be invisible now after posing in what he thought was the most handsome pose.

"..." Bairiel frowned, as if he was thinking about what Mensa's words meant, and just when the demon was about to lose his patience, he suddenly said, "Miss Sephilia, do you want me to kill you?" Do you work at home?"

"..." The expression on Mensa's face instantly shattered.

"Briel, can you tell who I am?" The hellhound beside him took the initiative to answer.

"Hmm...you are...Mr. Bastian, right?" The young man's words rekindled hope in the hearts of the two, but they were immediately crushed, "I heard about you at Miss Amelia's wedding. sound."

"This damn mirror is too annoying!" Mensa couldn't help grinding his teeth.

"Huh?" Bairiel was puzzled.

"Don't pay attention to him, he's just complaining that the vanity mirror at home is not clear enough. Bairiel, you have to listen to me carefully next time. Maybe what I said is a little unbelievable, but it's true. Listen to me first, then Find out for yourself, okay?"

Bastian's words sounded much more convincing than Mensa's. The blond boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"First of all, I want to tell you that the world you live in now is not a real world, but a world composed of magical mirrors created based on your original memories."

"Although it was not very different from your real experience at the beginning, but now this world has completely deviated your life from the original track. You were indeed an abandoned baby, raised by people in this village Yes. But they did not raise you out of good intentions. Because there is a cave in the back mountain of this village, which is the entrance to hell. Every 12 years, you must sacrifice your pure body and soul to calm down and sleep underground. The wrath of the Great Demon King. And you, from the day you were picked up, became the best candidate for sacrifice."

"I don't know how you spent these 12 years, but I believe that the people in the village didn't give you much kindness. Then, at the age of 12, you were dressed as a bride and presented to the big devil. I am not very clear about your specific experience in hell at the beginning, when I returned to my master, my master was the Great Demon King, and I can be sure that he has already doted on you, and you are also very attached to him."

"Later, there was a woman named Camilla. She was originally the Witch of the Mirror, an ancient demon, but for some reason she turned to the side of the light. She designed to lock you into the Mirror Labyrinth, which is this world , trying to use you to contain the master's actions, so as to buy time for the light side to seal the master again."

"As I said, this world is not real. It is just a world created based on your memories and wishes to trap you. According to the rules of this world, only you can find your way out. So We hope that you will cooperate with us and leave the maze as soon as possible. Because only in this way can the master get out of the predicament and smash the conspiracy of the light side."

Bastian finished speaking in one breath, quietly waiting for the boy's decision.

After a while, Bailiel suddenly asked: "You said there is a cave leading to hell in the back mountain of the village?"

"Yes."

"But as far as I know, there is a mine, and half of the men in the village dig there every day."

Mensa and Bastian looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the maze even changed this important location.

"Also... since I was offered as a sacrifice to the Great Demon King, why did he treat me well instead of hurting me? And I don't seem to have any reason to be attached to the Demon King who wants to eat me, right? ?”

"Uh... this situation is very complicated." Mensa tried to explain, but found that even he himself didn't understand why the majestic demon king of hell wanted to favor a human being.

"You said you want to smash the conspiracy of the light side? I'm sorry, the priest has already baptized me at the plea of ​​Uncle Will half a year ago. If you are really messengers from hell, then I have no reason to help you guys."

"What?!" Even Bastian's expression changed, and Mensa immediately grabbed Bailie's collar. "That vicious woman actually changed your faith!"

"What are you going to do to my adopted son?!" The old hunter who just came back from the market didn't even have time to put down the pocket on his back, so he rushed to Mensa and raised his fist, "I said a long time ago, I am Bairiel's guardian! As long as I'm here, even you, Miss Sephilia, don't want to treat him like before!"

"Humans, don't come to disturb the situation!" The demon suddenly became furious.

"Mensa!" Bastian hurriedly held the demon down, "Mr. Will, we don't mean anything malicious, we just want to have a casual chat with Bairiel. Bairiel, think about what I said, we will come back tomorrow. "The hell hound simply exerted his brute strength, held the demon on his shoulders and left the cabin.

"Hey! You should let me down!"

"Hurting that human will only make us more troublesome." Bastian put down the demon and warned solemnly.

"I know, I'm not a fool!" Thinking of Bairiel's impeccable attitude, Mensa couldn't help but sigh, "What should we do next? That young master doesn't believe us at all. And that stinky woman Camilla even have changed their beliefs!"

Seeing Bastian start looking up at the sky, the summoner could only rest his chin on his hands and wait quietly.

"Poison Angel's Wand." Hellhound said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"The staff in Bairiel's hand originally belonged to the owner. Even Camilla couldn't easily take it away from him, so the staff must be somewhere in this world. As long as we find it, It can prove our words. Moreover, maybe Bairiel will think of something when he gets the staff."

"Great idea! Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find that!" The demon who had found the target again was immediately full of energy.

night--

An even snoring sound could be heard through the door, and Bairiel knew that her adoptive father had already fallen asleep.Although he was also sleepy, he was still driven by an inexplicable desire to sit up.

He took out a long bag from under his little bed.In order not to let those bad images enter his mind, the boy kept wrapping the strangely shaped stick he picked up with an old clothes.Carefully untying the knot made with the sleeve, Bairiel took a deep breath and pressed his finger on it.

The man and woman kissing passionately, the entangled limbs, a heart-piercing pain surged up again!

Shrinking his fingers in horror, the boy took a big breath of air, and it took a long time before he gradually calmed down.This thing must be a prop left by the devil!Every simple touch will make my heart ache, but I want to see those pictures uncontrollably.The man with black hair and black pupils attracted him deeply like poison.Even though he had never "seen" anything, the image of that person was so clearly engraved in his mind.

Who is he?

Who is he?

The moonlight fell on the boy's face.

Tears.

can't hold back...
