Bride of the Great Demon King

"Disguise is an instinct of demons. Whether it is in front of prey or enemies, only proper camouflage can ensure the survival of demons in cruel environments. Of course, some demons hold different views.

meeting room--

For the first time, Bailiel took the position of the Great Demon King.Whether it is the fingers that keep stroking the angel wings on the staff or the small movements back and forth, it shows the tension of the young man.

Despite Sean's reassurances that he was the only appropriate moderator in the absence of the Big Boss, he still felt uneasy in his heart.

Can I really make decisions instead of the big devil?What if it caused his displeasure?

However, he had no choice but to sit here after seeing the summoner who was instigated by the helpless servant to knock on the door before he reached the door of the bedroom and was frightened away by the sudden murderous aura of the big devil.

Although he might not receive the same treatment if he woke up the Great Demon King, but in Bailie's eyes, ensuring the quality of sleep of the Great Demon King was obviously as important as dealing with the envoys from the royal court who came to find fault.

"To sum up, our success rate of confronting the royal court head-on is almost zero." After Sean delivered a long speech on the comparison of strength, he took off the monocle on the bridge of his nose and took out a soft cloth Wipe carefully.Only one arm left made his movement a little difficult, but the slender and flexible fingers made up for this small defect well.After concentrating on making the lens spotless again, the servant put it on the bridge of the nose again, and said his conclusion with a smile: "So we can only choose to endure for a short time, try not to arouse the suspicion of the messenger, let him Come and leave."

"A short period of time?" Bastian, who had been observing the ceiling, suddenly realized, "Could it be that 'that day' is coming soon? No wonder!" The hell three-headed dog glanced at Bailie with a complicated look of sympathy Er, and then quickly looked away.

"That day?" Bairiel looked confused.Are there any fixed-date celebrations in hell?Like Holy Light?

Sean nodded: "Yes. So our patience is only temporary. After 'that day' passes, all problems will be solved."

The face of the three-headed hellhound suddenly lit up, and its two pricked ears turned excitedly: "It's really nostalgic. I hope that after 'that day' passes, life will be as exciting as before!"

"What day is that?" The summoner, who was about to be killed by curiosity, couldn't help asking.

Even the silent Sirens opened their eyes wide and eagerly waited for Sean's answer.

The dark-skinned servant smiled, and tapped his index finger on the table: "Let's get back to the main topic of today's meeting! About 'that day', we can wait until we have dealt with the envoys of the royal court. If there is no objection , this time we will adopt an evasion strategy. As for the specific method of evasion, I personally recommend choosing 'camouflage'."

"Do you want to wait for the big devil to wake up before making a decision?" Bailiel always felt that it was inappropriate for them to hold a meeting behind the back of the devil.

"Don't wait for him," Bastian said nonchalantly. "Master wasn't interested in anything until 'that day'. The magic was out of balance, his temper was bad, and his judgment is now inaccurate."

"Have a bad temper? Is there?" The blond boy was suspicious.

"Why not!" Hearing Bairiel's question, Mensa was so aggrieved that tears were about to fall.

It can be said that the bad temper of the big demon king is obvious to all.The icy aura around him and the sharpness of his eyes have reached the point where he is about to kill a demon.In the whole castle, probably only Bailiel and Siren were not aware of this matter.One of them is because the devil always deliberately restrains himself in front of him, and the other is because they always stay in the eagle's nest and are not within the range of the devil's activities.

Seeing that everyone acquiesced to Mensa's words, Bailier couldn't help frowning.

What happened to the Great Demon King?

Could it be that 'that day' had special requirements for the devil's eating habits, so he had to reduce his food intake and affect his mood?So could his long sleep also have something to do with 'that day'?Bailie decided to go to the library to look up information after the meeting.

But the main topic now is how to deal with the envoys of the royal court.The blond boy cleared his throat: "Will the evasion strategy work? Brut said that the envoys of the Royal Court can find us through the Demon King's Disk."

"There should be no problem." Sean explained with a smile, "The entire northern territory is too large to measure. Even if the other party has the Demon King's Disk or other tracking items in his hand, our castle has already moved once. It is the same as when the Demon King The location of the broken disk is not consistent, and the possibility of being discovered is not high. The envoy of the royal court can at most infer a rough range, and this range is definitely not small. We are just one of his many suspected places. If the disguise is proper, Then in order to track down the target as soon as possible, he should go to the next location to investigate soon. When he returns here after completing a circle, we probably don't need to be patient anymore."

"Hmm..." Bairiel thought for a while, and felt that Sean's words were quite reasonable, "The 'disguise' means?"

"To put it simply, it is to disguise our beliefs and temporarily pretend to be the children of the Dark King."

"Pretending to be a belief? Is this going to work?" Bairiel frowned.

"There are only a handful of demons in hell who have the ability to identify other people's beliefs. We only need to hang up false flags and praise the royal court verbally, and it should be easy to dispel the envoy's doubts." The servant explained.

"Yes. The Mensa family has also had this experience. Belief in different beliefs openly is tantamount to openly raising the flag of rebellion. Except for those lands that are sheltered by powerful ancient demons, others will more or less disguise themselves at the right time It’s just that it’s a bit unpleasant to do so. But the comparison of strength is in front of you, and there is no other way.” Summoner suddenly remembered that although his father was ambitious back then, he did not dare to disclose his beliefs. Silently manage the power to expand the territory and want to dominate one side.It's a pity that in the end, the family was exterminated because of the suspicion of the royal court.

Sean nodded: "That's right. It's not difficult to eliminate an ancient demon, but there are quite a few ancient demons serving in the royal court. As long as there are more than three, we will be completely powerless to fight against. But the matter of disguising can only be done by Let's do it, the master must hide in a hidden place. The devil cannot change his belief. Even a perfunctory word will cause a devastating blow to all the demons who believe in him, let alone disguise Became a follower of other demon kings."

"Huh? Why is that?" Bairiel's eyes widened.

"Simply speaking, the devil king is fundamentally different from all other demons, and their beliefs are also completely different. The power of the devil king comes from their own different beliefs. This deep source of power allows them to obtain a high-level 'ge'. And All other demons belong to a certain demon king or demons higher than them, worship their power, and pray for their blessings, and obtain something similar to 'proof' from them, so as to have the power to use the dark camp The right. If there is no 'proof', no magic power can activate any dark magic. Depending on the level of the demon, the power bestowed by the devil is also different, which is equivalent to getting various 'grids' of different heights. 'Grids' The higher it is, the stronger the power it can control, and of course the more constraints it receives from the devil. This is also the reason why some ancient and powerful races are unwilling to accept the rule of the devil and turn to believe in something else. They have been Some special 'proofs' and 'grids' have been obtained in their remote beliefs, which allows some of them to use the power of other camps. However, due to the different levels of belief, their power is far from that of the demon king, and it is absolutely It is impossible to be promoted to Demon King one day. So you see..." The servant spread his hands with a smile, "If a Demon King verbally believes in another Demon King, he will be 'downgraded' immediately, and all the demons who believe in him will also be forced to 'Downgrade', that would be an absolute catastrophe."

"So the Great Demon King has to hide?" Bairiel bit his lip.If possible, he really didn't want to wrong the Great Demon King to hide.That was a man who was born to rule the world.

"Anyway, the master hates going out very much when 'that day' is approaching, so just find a place to sleep for a few days." Sean didn't care about it.

An irrefutably perfect idea.From the expressions on everyone's faces, Bairiel could see their approval for Sean.But I don't know why there is a very uncomfortable feeling in my heart.

If it wasn't because he was injured while saving himself, why would he need to hide his tracks for a mere envoy from the royal court?

but……

In any case, we must do our best to protect the Great Demon King!

The blond boy raised his head, his emerald green eyes were full of determination: "Then how do we camouflage?"

"Since the master must be hidden, one of us must pretend to be the master of the castle and negotiate with the envoys of the royal court. There is no doubt that you are the most suitable candidate, Master Bailie."

"I?"

"Is there anyone who is less likely to arouse the suspicion of the messenger than you who are originally human? No one in hell can recognize your identity. It is easy to disguise yourself as another identity."

"But Bastian is stronger than me." Bairiel frowned. Wouldn't it be unnatural for Bastian to be his subordinate?

"Master Bastian belongs to a type of high-level monsters. The strength division of monsters is very vague. It is difficult to perceive the specific strength level if they are not monsters of the same type. Besides, monsters have the practice of enshrining a certain ancient race for generations, so even if you have one It is also natural for subordinates of monsters who are stronger than me."

"That Mensa..."

"Master Mensa and you are both high-level demons, so it is a good candidate. However, this is the territory of the Mensa clan. It is too easy to see the flaws if Lord Mensa pretends to be the owner of the castle. As for Siren and I, obviously None of them are suitable to play the role of the master of the castle. So only you are the best candidate."

"..."

After finishing the long discussion, Bailiel tiptoed back to the bedroom.

Without any murderous intent or obstruction, the boy walked to the bed without hindrance.

It seems that the Great Demon King can tell who is approaching him even in his sleep.

The blond boy smiled and got into bed, wrapped his arms around the man's neck, and pressed his heart tightly against the man's body.Even though he knew that there would be no answer, he still whispered the process of the meeting in the ear of the big devil little by little.
