Orlando raised his head and asked her cast a glance. And whether it's Jiang Qi or Orlando, they all know what she's going to say next.

"Using the stars as a medium, what the eyes are looking at is not the present, but the distant future that no one should know. He is known as the greatest and most accomplished divination magician in the world. His existence can be seen It is the acme of [Divination], which is a small source of magic."

"Indeed." Orlando admitted, "There is nothing worth hiding from you. I do have such a magician under my command. And because of his outstanding contribution and irreplaceable particularity, he was awarded the post of [High Priest]."

"What's his name?" Jiang Qi asked.

And Orlando also calmly answered this question.

"Naturally it's Carol, the Mother God."

Apart from Carol, is there another person who can become his high priest and is qualified to take charge and handle the affairs of the White Sand Kingdom when the king is away? ?

Jiang Qi was not surprised by this answer, rather it was in her expectation. The girl lowered her eyes slightly, and her eyes fell on the body in Orlando's arms.

But Carroll was dead.

Died at the end of the second calendar, did not wait until the third calendar, the day when the desert really entered a new generation, and did not see Orlando become king.

Then, who is the real body of the high priest in the kingdom of white sand, the number one divination magician in the world, seems to be open to debate.

"Look." However, Orlando didn't seem to think that this was an unexplainable trouble, and he could even complain to Jiang Qi in turn, "I have invited you to my palace and my palace several times to have a look. , but you always refuse to agree."

Jiang Qi faintly felt as if she had been beaten up.

And Orlando's defense continues.

"If you could have come earlier, then I would have introduced Carol to you earlier."

He laughed.

"Then you will find out, Carol..."

"——It's the undead."

Orlando in the secret realm has the watch and help of the mother goddess, but in the past that really happened, he was alone Youth—or even, can be regarded as a half-grown child.

After gaining the authority of the abyss and killing all the invading gods with thunderbolts like the might of the sky, he stayed alone on the battlefield, restraining the residents of the oasis one by one.

The newly promoted Demon King looked down at his hands.

These hands have now grasped the most powerful power in the world, but this power has come a bit too late. The people he wanted to protect were gone, so what's the point of keeping his strength empty?

The colorful Moon Butterfly and the snow-white Inferite Snake had quietly come behind him at some point, but this new companion didn't seem to have any intention of talking to them.

The Demon King of Moon Butterfly saw those corpses of protoss and sand people lying together lying together, and seeing their very similar appearance with this new Demon King, which was shared by the same race, his heart was already broken. With inference.

"Your homeland was destroyed by the gods, and all your relatives and friends were killed by the artillery fire of Sky City."

He looked around Orlando, and then laughed.

"But you are lucky enough to get the authority of [Abyss], then everything is not hopeless." 

The black-skinned young man who had originally ignored their arrival seemed to have finally noticed the existence of the two of them. The same, the already chapped and white lips moved.

"What...?" he asked.

***

It is not an easy task to transform the dead into undead on a large scale.

It takes a little luck, a little skill, and a little strength.

Fortunately, what Orlando lacks most today is strength, and that skill is supplemented by the Demon King of Moon Butterfly.

Luck was undoubtedly on his side this time, so he watched as undead began to appear around him, and the number continued to increase.

The last one who came to him was Carol, and the young man shook his hand and punched him.

"Don't you have to work for you even if I die?"

"Don't be in such a hurry to die." The Demon King of Baisha said ruthlessly, "Before our ideals and great wishes are realized, you are dead." —"

Orlando pointed with his finger.

"—It has to be like this, get up and work for me."

That is a similar but different approach to [Moon Butterfly's Mourning].

He bears the life and resentment, death and fear that he gave to them, and firmly holds their hands, letting them move forward with him.

That is the country of the earliest oasis, the flower of fairy tales blooming on the Baitan Desert.

At that time, the country had another name.

【The Kingdom of the Dead】.

It's just that time has changed and the world has changed. Everything to the west is buried by white sand and hidden in the deepest part. The power of the Demon King continued to expand, and his men were also filled with new subjects.

In addition, the Arcadia continent already had a variety of long-lived species, so that over time, even the world has forgotten that that country originally belonged to the kingdom of the dead, but it had a living king.

The order of the mother god cannot be disobeyed, and Orlando described this past with Jiang Qi as briefly as possible.

"Okay." Orlando said, "Have all your questions been answered?"

"Although it is a different time flow...ha! But the world must have been turned upside down by now, right? If they can't find you, those dogs will Roaring and barking everywhere, seeing everyone as an enemy and wanting to bite!"

He may not have realized that he actually scolded himself in it.

However, the girl in front of her didn't respond, she just cast a faint glance at him.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me, Orlando?"

Jiang Qi has experienced the special secret realm from [Elegy of the Deep Sea] - Siren Cather.

For demon kings like them whose personal legendary quest lines have already been cleared by players, Jiang Qi will no longer receive legendary quests from them, but they may trigger some special secret realms.

Such as Cather, also such as the current Orlando.

But since the system has not yet settled the task, it means that there is something else... There is still a certain piece of the puzzle that has been ignored, and it is not placed in the correct position that it should be.

Orlando raised his chin slightly: "You've got to ask me..."

The king of Baisha would feel sorry for not being able to arrive in time, but in Orlando's view, this matter has indeed come to an end.

He became the Demon King. He resurrected them all. As originally planned and expected, they overthrew all the aristocratic rulers, and established a brand new kingdom and system in the desert.

Everything looks the best.

——Orlando originally wanted to answer Jiang Qi in this way.

But before he could really speak, another voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.

Is this really the best look?

Have you forgotten that you have woken up from your sleep countless times, and you have stood on the top of the palace alone at the time when you should be sleeping countless times, looking at the undead town below in a daze?

Have you forgotten that in this royal capital, there is actually a section that is designated as a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter it except you... And there is actually a huge cemetery there?

Orlando Douglas Trisoder.

Have you really accepted all this calmly and resignedly?

Orlando opened his mouth, but he found that he couldn't give an affirmative answer to this question.

Because all along, there was indeed a confusion hidden in his heart.

However, he is no longer the slave boy of the past, but the devil king of "The Fairy Tale of Baisha".

That question no longer has a suitable audience, and it can only remain in the backlog of Orlando's heart.

And as time went by, in the end, even Orlando himself had forgotten about this issue.

But it is not that it does not exist, but it just hibernates temporarily and quietly, only waiting for the most suitable time to appear on a certain day, and then it will reappear, showing its existence in a very strong and conspicuous posture. feel.

And now is undoubtedly the time.

Orlando thought he must be mad.

Because, he could hear that his body was violating the mad block of reason, towards the seemingly slender and weak body, but for some reason, it brought a strong sense of tolerance, as if it was enough to accept everything and embrace it in his arms Mother Goddess, confided the long-standing question that gnawed at his heart.

"I often doubt whether I am worthy of the title [King]."

"Indeed, from the perspective of strength and rationality, I have accepted the authority of [Abyss] and possess such power. Say, I am king, it is irrefutable, and I should."

"But!" When he said this, Orlando even laughed.

It wasn't laughter caused by joy, or other pleasant emotions. On the contrary, the laughter was full of inexplicable sarcasm, enough to make anyone who heard it feel ashamed.

And the most puzzling thing among them is that Orlando's many emotions are not aimed at anyone else, but all go towards himself.

"In this world, how can there be a kingdom of the dead ruled by the living?!"

It turns out that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and he has never walked out from that day. And every time he sees Carroll and those people who are undead, this kind of guilt and self-torture will be aggravated in Orlando's heart.

He didn't listen to it, didn't ask and didn't say anything, as if this way he could successfully extract himself from that emotion. However, under the seemingly scabbed wound, there is an inner lining that has never healed, as well as pus that has grown after being repeatedly torn and infected.

Then, something completely unexpected happened.

The girl who was always as far away as the moon and full of sense of distance came to him for the first time, her slender white fingers pressed his lips, and pressed back all the subsequent words.

The girl lowered her eyes, her gaze was peaceful.

"There is no need to be so harsh."

"Whether it is as [Anderina] or as [Mother of Demons], I have watched your journey from the beginning to the end."

 "Therefore, I also It can be asserted: You are fully qualified to be a king. Even if you make another choice, I [Abyss] will also give you the authority." 

"I believe that whether it is Carol or those oasis sand people-whether they are born Those who are still undead, have always believed in your rule, and have never felt resentful. If you still have doubts about this, you can go and verify it with them in person later." The girl turned her hand to the top of Orlando's head.

  A slender flower branch appeared in her hand, and after being randomly bent into a circle by the girl, it was placed on top of Orlando's head.

...like a grand coronation witnessed by heaven and earth.

She took a step back and looked at it, with a satisfied look on her face.

"So, raise your chest, don't need to torture yourself for such things, just face everyone upright." "Orlando"

The mother goddess slowly read the name of the demon king.

"You have always been a well-deserved king."
