For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Nightmare Maid

"Did you say he noticed something?"

After the court mage Vincent left, Duke Simon stared at the endgame of Wang Kouqi on the table in a daze. A voice that could not tell the difference between old and young suddenly echoed in the empty seat beside him.

"If he didn't notice anything, then he wouldn't be the 'Scorch Sage' Vincent who was known as the first person under the legend, and this was part of the plan, wasn't it?"

The Duke replied, then leaned over and tried to put away the chessboard, but a hand stopped between him and the chessboard.

That hand was surrounded by a layer of mist like a dream, and in the lustrous luster, its shape was constantly changing, sometimes as white and tender as a young girl, sometimes as withered as an old man.

Duke Simon raised his head, the owner of this arm was also wrapped in a layer of mist, and its appearance changed between different ages with the flow of the mist.

Familiar of the Lord of Nightmare, the King of Nothingness, Nightmare Maid.

is also one of the moon spirits who signed a blood pact with him.

"He will personally go to the Holy Sepulchre to investigate. I understand his character."

Duke Simon said.

"I thought you would miss your old relationship more, after all, he has been assisting you for twenty-four years."

"He is already old, and now he is just an old father who misses his daughter. He is no longer the warrior who once dared to question the laws of the stars and resist the tyranny of the empire."

The Nightmare Maid heard a faint smile on her face.

"But you still worked hard to make him a warrior, didn't you? Otherwise, how did that shambling demon's contract agent fall into the hands of David Orbis."

Duke Simon sighed silently.

The Nightmare Maid chuckled softly.

"I'm actually curious, if there is no heresy mage who doesn't know where to come out to disrupt the situation. Master Vincent really became a warrior again because of the tragic death of his daughter, then where do you have to find another near the legendary realm? What about the magic caster who replaced him as fuel for the 'Wang Kou Ritual'?"

Duke Simon did not speak, but turned his head to look through the window to the star lighthouse standing beside him.

The Nightmare Maid first looked at the lighthouse in surprise, and then burst out laughing uncontrollably. Its image also changed rapidly along with the laughter.

"Hahahaha, that's really interesting, it's actually going to use the star lighthouse's lampkeeper as the firewood for the ceremony. Not only the imperial family, but also the Star Council, which runs the laws of the stars, should be regarded as an enemy? It seems that I really want to thank that unknown heretic mage for saving his daughter."

"Not because of this..."

Duke Simon replied.

"Once the plan starts, it will be a matter of time before I break with the Star Council. If the Blackwater Province wants to be truly independent, and wants to reproduce the glory of the Blackwater Kingdom, it is not only independent in the secular sense. To be completely free from the control of the empire on a transcendental level and on a religious level."

More than 800 years ago, the reincarnation of the great hero William Kane, Tyra I, conquered the entire Vik continent by force to establish the Riel Empire, and then there are countless forces that dared to challenge the authority of the empire. There are indeed examples of independent success in history. . But these forces were only short-lived in the end, but after a few years they reluctantly returned to the territory of the empire.

The reason is that the secular regime is only a part of the Riel Empire. This behemoth called the Empire is also composed of the royal family, the Council of the Stars and the Church of the Holy Spirit, three pillars that symbolize the secular, the transcendent and the faith.

Duke Simon understands that in order to fulfill the family's long-cherished wish for 800 years, he must rebuild his own three pillars.

The legacy of the Holy Sepulchre was his only hope.

"After the ceremony is successful and I master the army, I will reproduce the belief of the three goddesses in the Blackwater Kingdom, and the contract magic of the open moon will replace the law of the stars as the new magic base."

The Nightmare Maid did not answer the Duke's words, but put her finger on the mob's chess piece and pushed it lightly, knocking off the opponent's chess piece that symbolized the sage.

"Wang Kou Wang Kou, the rebel army can only become the new king after killing the king. If you want to inherit the legacy of the king of black water, you still have to play the role of a rebel army. How are the preparations at the Silver Stream Mine? Like?"

Duke Simon smiled.

"Don't worry, it's all handed over to the weavers, it..."

Halfway through speaking, the duke stopped, his face changed drastically, and then he muttered to himself.

"how so…"

The Nightmare Maid asked.

"What's wrong?"

"The Web Weaver just disappeared in my etheric domain."

Before he could continue to explain, the door of the living room was suddenly pushed open.

"Sir Duke, there is an urgent report from the Star Lighthouse, the "Reverberation" spell has been activated in the Mage Hall, the one you sent to the Silver Stream Mine..."

A herald hurried in, and then he saw the Nightmare Maid sitting beside him, constantly changing forms.

"Big...sir, is this?"

"come here."

The Nightmare Maid hooked her finger at the young herald, and the man walked towards it uncontrollably.

"Tell me, what did you see?"

In the eyes of the messenger, the image of this woman shrouded in mist was constantly changing, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and ugly, and finally the image became the appearance of a lady he loved.

"I saw…"

The herald took its hand and said in a daze.

In the next instant, the woman turned into a terrifying appearance of corruption and festering. It pulled the other party and pulled him into its arms, opened its mouth full of poisonous snakes and kissed him. .

With a "pop", the herald turned into a pile of foam in this kiss and disappeared, leaving only a piece of clothing on the ground.

The Nightmare Maid, after doing all this, bent down and picked up the man's clothes and threw them into the fireplace.

"Do you mind if I do this without your permission?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this matter, how could the weavers suddenly..."

The Duke said impatiently.

"How about let me go and see?"

The Nightmare Maid asked with a poker, flipping the messenger's clothes.

"No, the presence of the Moon Spirit in the Silver Stream Mine is already troublesome enough, and now I don't know who did it. If it's the church or the royal spy, I can't put more emphasis on my side now. suspected."

"I'm different from that woman who only plays tricks behind her back and looks ugly once her scheming is uncovered. No one can see through my disguise."

Duke Simon pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"In any case, the other party has enough strength to defeat the Web Weaver, and you are taking too much risk. You go and control the 'King Killer' first, I must ensure that even in the worst case, the ceremony can be carried out as usual. conduct."

"Who are you going to let go to the mine?"

The Duke frowned after hearing the words and thought for a while, and finally said.

"According to the plan for the riot in the Silver Stream Mine, send three squadrons of Thorns Black Guards and five war mages to quell the riot, and Master Vincent will lead the team."

After , Duke Simon sighed.

"Old friend, this is the last chance I will give you."
