Bride of the Great Demon King

"There are so many varieties of hell snakes that no one can estimate their approximate number. According to legend, they are one of the species created by the devil himself. They are known for their tenacious vitality. Among all snakes, the most dangerous The more beautiful the venom, the more deadly it is."

……

"Welcome to my castle, guests from afar." Bairiel's friendly voice revealed a faint alienation, which was the tradition inherited from the ancient family. "You must have heard of my name. Bairiel Alterstreet, the last son of the Altestreet family, and also the owner of this castle. If you have any requests during your stay here, Please contact my servant Sean, I hope you have a good time."

"Oh oh oh! Yes! Yes! Definitely! Definitely! You are so beautiful!" Although the snake catcher tried his best to control the expression on his face, the strange twitching of his mouth betrayed his excitement, "Of course, your castle It’s also as beautiful as yours. I don’t have any special requirements, but Tweety needs a warm place to rest. If possible, I want to drill a hole here to bring the temperature of the underground lava up.”

The snake catcher pointed to the center of the living room with his stubby fingers.The original intention of him coming up with this request was to show his power and majesty. Renovating the hall that symbolized the rights of the master can be said to be a deterrent almost insulting to every demon who owns the castle.But at this moment, facing the young man on the throne, the snake catcher couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.It would be bad if you ruined your first impression in the heart of the beauty.

"no problem."

Bairiel's answer relieved the bloated demon.It seems that the descendant of this ancient family has no plans to confront him head-on.

"My servant will be responsible for drilling through here." The snake catcher stepped on the hard marble floor, "Of course, I will give some compensation afterwards." He suddenly changed his mind, wanting to erect a just and strict attitude in the young man's heart. image.

"unnecessary."

Bairiel raised his arm, and a little green light slowly fell from his fingertips to the center of the hall.Tiny leaf buds grow from the hard rock surface and quickly grow into a thick cane.A round hole has been opened in the ground in the center of the hall, and the rattan seems to be extending downward rapidly.

suddenly!

The black began to extend upwards from the place where the rattan sticks out of the ground, and it barely stopped until the whole plant was dyed pure black.The black plants were filled with a dead air, and the waving leaf buds were frozen in the air, as if the vitality just now was an illusion.

The snake catcher looked at the motionless plant with a slightly suspicious look, and stretched out his finger to touch the surface of the plant.The fingertips didn't even have time to get any tactile sensations, the slight touch had turned the whole plant into a pile of fly ash, and the magma rolling deep underground could be seen along the round hole in the ground.

"Magic power! It's really magical power!" The snake catcher waved his hand while admiring.

The tall and thin servants immediately fetched sections of dark stone pillars and connected them together to lower the round holes.They seem to have been used to this for a long time. In less than 10 minutes, a golden platform was built in the center of the hall.The warm warmth is transmitted from the golden platform, like a natural heater.The golden shrine, which is one size smaller than the golden platform, can just be buckled on top of it. It seems that some kind of temperature magic has been applied, and rose gold patterns slowly appear on the golden complex carvings.

"Tweety, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" The snake catcher put his hands on the golden shrine with concern, but immediately retracted like lightning.Bairiel noticed that with a low hiss, the place where his fingers touched just now turned black, and then quickly returned to its original color.There should be a viper in it, a viper with a bad temper, the teenager judged.

"So, is there any order from the royal court?" Bairiel asked calmly while lowering his head and stroking the staff in his hand.

"You must have heard that the Prime Minister suggested a census. That's why I will leave the royal court in this damn season." The snake catcher rubbed his hands and added, "But it can be done for the great dark king. Serving is always my greatest honor.”

"Salute to the great king of darkness." Bairiel narrowed his eyes, "If I remember correctly, you seem to be closer to those two, has the wind in the royal court changed now, and the prime minister and the two priestesses have become one with each other? gone?"

"Haha... Of course, there is no distinction between the allegiance to the Dark King. The Prime Minister and the two goddesses have never been separated." The census proposal has been shelved for hundreds of years, and this time it is the Goddesses who have reintroduced the matter."

"Oh...it turned out to be a beautiful excuse. It must be used to carry out the favorite cause of the priestesses, crusade against people of different beliefs?" Bairiel yawned, as if he lacked interest in it.

"Shh - that's not exactly the case. The prime minister's advice is always justified, even though he himself is a little... idealized." The snake catcher smiled ambiguously.

The endless battle between the two power ministers in the royal court is no longer news among the higher-ranking demons.The dark prime minister and the two priestesses are also favored by the dark king.Different from those two women who were ambiguous with the king, the dark prime minister used his wisdom more often to win the admiration of most ancient demons in the royal court.It's just that when the king decided to sleep, he handed over the sword symbolizing royal power to the priestesses, which made the disheartened prime minister bury his head in the ancient books and carry out his beloved research work.As an ancient demon of the Priestess Sect, the snake catcher obviously has no respect for this powerful minister who is under one man and above ten thousand.

"Well. I will provide convenience for you, although I thought those people of different beliefs no longer exist." Bailie nodded.

"No, no, no, those guys are everywhere! They are like disgusting bugs, and they can never be killed. Of course, the process of hunting them can also bring us a little fun, can't it?"

In fact, Bailiel felt that there was nothing more disgusting than the smile on the face of the snake catcher at this moment.The young man held his staff tightly, restraining his urge to beat him up. "Dinner is at seven o'clock in the evening, if you are interested in attending..."

"Bug? Where? Where are those cute little guys?" The businessman burst into the hall like a whirlwind, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Who are you?" The interruption of the beautiful boy's invitation obviously made the snake catcher unhappy, but out of his affection for Bailie, he decided to ask first before making a move.

"Ah! Isn't this the wise, great, mighty, just and honest emissary of the royal court? It's me! Fernando, a little merchant from hell, is now doing business in the castle. We were there when you went to Blood City I met once on the road, have you forgotten? No wonder, I am just an insignificant person. But your stalwart image is always in my heart! I also presented you with a bag of red snake fruit, Do you remember?"

The snake catcher who had just turned pale when the businessman mentioned "paying tribute" suddenly became stern.He didn't want to be considered by the master of the castle as the kind of person who bullied others and forced merchants to pay tribute, although in fact he did remember that he had once asked a servant to exchange a large bag of rare red snake fruit from this man with a copper coin.

"If I remember correctly, I was..." the snake catcher began in a tone, trying to figure out how to make it sound like a fair deal.

"Yes! That beautiful copper badge, proof that I have managed to dedicate the goods to you! I will definitely keep it safe, as a souvenir of my first encounter with a great man in so many years. You are really How generous! In fact, I got another batch of fresh red snake fruit, if possible, please accept it as a small welcome gift!"

Although the word "generosity" slightly tingled the snake catcher's not-so-thin skin, the businessman's speech that gave him enough face made him feel a little more at ease. "Hmm..." Glancing at the small pocket in the merchant's palm, the fat messenger waved his hand and called his servant, "Take it! Give him a big bag of gold coins." In front of the rare beauty, even The brilliance of gold seems to be less important than it used to be.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Fernando thanked with dancing, and then pointed curiously at the golden shrine in the center of the hall, "Is this your rare pet? I wonder if I can have the honor to take a look at it?"

The snake catcher frowned.

"What's in it?" Bairiel asked suddenly.He noticed that the businessman winked at him secretly after entering the door just now.No matter what is hidden behind this move, the biggest possibility is that it is aimed at the envoy of the royal court.So he decided to cooperate with Fernando's actions a little.

"Hahahaha! A rare baby! Of course, it's not as rare as you, hehehe..." The snake catcher's silly smile made Bailie feel a little uncomfortable.

A gray magic welled up from the snake catcher's finger, turning one side of the golden shrine transparent.In the empty space inside the shrine, a snake as thin as a finger was entrenched in the corner.It is a small emerald green snake that is almost transparent, but there is a small piece of agate-like vermilion on its head.As if noticing the gaze from the outside world, the little snake straightened up. The scales spread out made it look more than twice as thick. Two slender fangs were exposed from the mouth, and the blood-red eyes revealed a stream of blood that matched its body shape. An astonishing murderous aura that is extremely disproportionate in size.

"This is..." The summoner at the side suddenly remembered a rumor.

"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!" The businessman circled around the shrine excitedly, and almost stumbled into a servant of the snake catcher. "Although it's not a cute bug, it is indeed unparalleled in the world! My lord messenger!" , you are so lucky to have such a pet! Wow!"

A stream of poison was sprayed in the direction of the merchant without any mistakes, but fortunately there was a golden shrine to block the deadly attack.Even so, the businessman was so scared that he sat down on the ground.After spraying the venom, the little snake curled up again lazily, as if the blow just now consumed too much energy.

"Be careful, even I dare not stand in front of it without protection." Seeing the businessman's distressed appearance, the snake catcher couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips happily.

"Hehe... yes, a beautiful beast with fangs, how could I forget?" Fernando said to himself in a barely distinguishable voice, with a self-deprecating smile on his face.
