The outskirts of Bagpipe Town.

The giant prince Wolfram stood alone in the open grassland. The winter grass had become dry.

Wolfram's face did not have the anger and mania common among giants, but was extremely calm.

His rational and indifferent voice sounded leisurely: "I paid a price you can't imagine to escape from George. Now we have no way out... I hope the information you brought is true."

He consumed all the remaining demonologists who fanatically followed him as materials, so that he could set up a trap to trap the Great Guardian George, and at the same time, he directly crossed the entire Avalon and teleported from a diagonal position.

come over.

It can even be said that the core elite of Noble Red has become extinct.

And the reason for everything was that Cassieim sent a piece of information, and Wolfram immediately sent it over without hesitation and at great cost.

"You are not the only one who paid the price, my respected prince."

It seemed blurry in the rolling thunder, but it could not cover up the voice of malice and greed: "Those humans are just slaves, toys, walking ritual materials and food reserves. What kind of heavy price can it be considered?"

"As long as we get the Book of Law, we can easily recruit stronger and more humans than this - I need your help, my respected prince."

As he spoke, a dark cloud appeared in front of the giant prince. The ferocious demon, covered in pitch black scales, with black bat wings behind him, and thick crocodile feet, emerged from there in a burst of crackling lightning.

Walked out of the void.

His right hand dragged the halberd shining with electric light, bursting into flames on the dry white grass, igniting a scorch mark. And the silver chain with sharp barbs was wrapped around the scales.

On A's left arm.

Completely different from Qasiem's ​​irritable but cautious character.

With the power of the devil's incarnation, he degenerated into a punishment devil and did not hide his self-confidence and greed - or in other words, he was trying his best to hide it.

Originally, he was going to find the "Book of Law" and give it to Prince Wolfram, but now the person who got the book has become "we". Maybe after getting it, the personal pronoun will have to be changed again.

Become "me". Now he gives people the feeling that he can do such a thing.

But Prince Wolfram didn't care at all about the changes in his subordinate, the only pure-blooded member of the association.

In other words, he already knew the other person's true character. He was only willing to work with him and share power because of Qasiem's ​​bloodline.

Unlike Cassiem's ​​disgusting attitude of groveling and hiding his desires before, Prince Wolfram's relationship with the Punishment Demon was more relaxed and natural: "What? You never believed in the existence of the Book of Law before, and now

Do you finally believe it?"

"That is indeed an extremely powerful force."

The Punishment Demon also admitted his failure without hesitation: "I came a little late, and Jacob's grandson got it... As a result, at the third level, he was able to compete with me head-on, and even had an advantage for a time.

Forcing me to become a Punisher Demon in order to survive. This is still when I bring a group of demonologists, and even after I become a Punisher Demon, he can still pose a threat to me.

"I can tell that his fighting style is immature. It's more like a 'test' than fighting... like the kind of person who suddenly gets power and then finds someone to test what this power can do.

young people."

He was all too familiar with this.

There are many people like this in Noble Red.

"But if he only has this level, you can't ask for my help. You will want to swallow the Book of Dharma for yourself."

Prince Wolfram said: "Because you have also just become a punishment demon and are not familiar with your new power. If it is just a little bit close, you will definitely lie dormant and attack again when you recover from your injuries and become familiar with your power.

"So you must have encountered something else - tell me, I've already been here."

"——I encountered the Wild Hunt. As long as I enter the battle, I will be in a storm. Passing by areas where the Wild Hunt is frequent, it is easy to provoke the King of the Wild Hunt."

The Punishment Demon replied: "You are lucky if you can escape safely."

"……oh?"

Wolfram was a little more interested: "What level is the King of the Wild Hunt?"

"At least the fifth energy level, maybe the sixth energy level."

The Punishment Demon simply shared the information: "I retreated as soon as we fought - in order to maintain my condition.

"But we don't have to be afraid even if it's the sixth level. Even if we can't defeat the Wild Hunt, it's still okay to hold it off, and the other person can take away the Book of Laws.

"The Wild Hunt will not chase the living. How about we just leave when we have the items and then divide the loot in a safe place...?"

"Then who's going to attract the King of the Wild Hunt?"

Prince Wolfram asked rhetorically.

The Punishment Demon chuckled and said: "Of course, everyone depends on their ability. But if you are worried, I can go in first."

His dark golden vertical pupils were full of malice.

It's not that he doesn't know the identity of the King of the Wild Hunt, nor does he know the opponent's energy level - the elf Heleqin. His name is also famous among the giants. Without him, those ingredients may be ruled by the giants.

Now, his death kicks off the war against the Titans.

Rather, it is because the Punishment Demon knows Heleqin...

That's why he knew that no matter what order they entered Eagle Point Village, Heleqin would definitely stare at Prince Wolfram and beat him!

Herchin's deep-seated hatred for giants would invalidate the rule that "the Wild Hunt will not hunt down the living."

The sixth-level King of the Wild Hunt would most likely kill Prince Wolfram if he pursued him to death.

——His former master was, after all, a fifth-level "great wizard".

As an advanced profession of the Curse Mage, he is really too dangerous... It is easy to kill others with a curse, and that evil Jacob is at this level.

Now that the other party knows that he has become a punishment demon, he may use various countermeasures and rituals against demons to target him... He may even set a trap to capture him, which is really too dangerous.

And he himself didn't dare to directly confront the world's strongest person at the sixth level. If the opponent was a demon, he could still fight it... but for Wild Hunt, forget it.

Calling His Highness the Prince here can be said to be a multi-purpose achievement.

On the one hand, he can entangle the King of the Wild Hunt so that his plan to obtain the Book of Law can proceed smoothly without being interrupted; on the other hand, the King of the Wild Hunt can also kill his former boss with a high probability.

Let yourself become a truly free body.

In order to jointly fight against the King of Wild Hunt and obtain the Book of Law, this plan can also prevent His Royal Highness from cursing him in advance. After all, the Punishment Demon does not know how many curse materials he has fallen into his hands, and now he has become

Whether they would still be useful after punishing the demons - he didn't dare to bet.

——All in all, I won three times!

The punishment devil thought.

On the other side, the Glass Island, the Palace of Silver and Tin.

Queen Sofia, who was lying on the bed, was chatting with Ligeia, who was sitting on her bed. But she suddenly paused and seemed to hear something.

Then she smiled bitterly.

"What's wrong, Sophia?"

Ligeia raised her eyebrows, rubbed Sophia's arm with her dragon horn, and said loudly: "Someone made you unhappy? Do you want me to beat him up?"

"It's the report submitted by George."

Queen Sofia said slowly: "He said that all the core members of the Noble Red, except for the two giant leaders Wolfram and Cassiam, have surrendered."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Ligeia was a little confused.

"Indeed, it would have been better if George had not immediately sent a copy of this news to the Supervisory Bureau and the Round Table Hall."

The queen sighed: "You two are the same... upright, strong, but don't understand people's hearts. Avalon does need a big victory to boost morale... but we need a clear one now, but not as much as Star Antimony.

Strong enemies to increase cohesion."

During this period, the actions on Xing Antimony's side were very intense.

After the Star Antimony people failed to rescue Drost and Avalon killed a group of Star Antimony spies... Star Antimony also immediately started to kill the same number of Avalon spies.

This is a very dangerous signal. On the one hand, it means that many spies lurking in Star Antimony in Avalon have actually exposed themselves, or that Star Antimony has very advanced spy-finding capabilities, and the information they sent back may not necessarily be true.

Useful, but not necessarily true, and the remaining spies in ambush may not be safe either.

On the other hand, this also means that Star Antimony's desire for war is very strong - they not only killed a group of inspectors sent by Avalon, but also reversed right and wrong from newspapers.

They described Avalon's behavior as "the strong xenophobia of the Avalon people, which caused them to kill planetary travelers and merchants and take away their property", and described the assassinated Avalon spies as

As "a gang member who was mistakenly killed due to a fight with a street gang."

Sophia believes that this is the Star Antimony people building momentum for the upcoming war. In contrast, Avalon is not ready to face this war.

This caused Edward, who was still in Iris, to be urgently recalled. But even so, the fact that Aiwas was about to take office as the minister without charge still received a violent backlash from the Round Table Hall - letting a child who had just grown up succeed him as a powerful minister with real power.

This is really unheard of. The Round Table Hall kept raising objections with the excuse that he was too young and did not understand Avalon.

Of course, as long as Sophia presses ahead, their objections will have no effect.

However, correspondingly, it is difficult to force them to cede their own interests. When Minister Drost died, they did not eat the cake he left, but directly cooperated to enter a state of full war preparations - war requires money.

Yes, the same goes for preparing for war.

In other words, they did not really want to oppose Aiwass's succession as minister. They just wanted to find a fault to gain some political space for themselves.
