King's Landing

—The sky over "Underwood".The central city of the ancient city of vampires, the throne of the zodiac.

Aura, a female who was wrapped in a black robe, stood in the throne room of the castle, peering through the crystal ball to observe the movement in the square below, and then reported to the white-haired boy on his side.

"...Your Highness, "Underwood" has acted."

"Really? I also think it's about time, are you ready to meet?"

"Of course. Winter beast and summer grass have been sprinkled on the vampire corpse in the affiliated city. The seedbed is so nutritious, I think the winter beast and summer grass should have filled all the areas by now."

Ola said with a smile, and his Highness nodded.

"Really~ I thought the participants would spend more time~"

Lynn, a cute girl with a bored face sitting on the stairs, plays with her black hair and intervenes in the conversation.

"Huh? Why?"

"Because there was a full week during the truce. It's only two days now. It shouldn't be time to make them feel anxious, not to mention that there seem to be many Eudemons with injured wings. If it were me, I would concentrate on preparing until The last moment I had to start the action...well, it was almost on the fifth day before I started exploring the enemy's castle when I was fully equipped."

Regarding Lin's analysis, His Royal Highness and Ola nodded one after another.

"If you say so, it is true. Generally speaking, it is not so urgent. Is there any reason? Will there be remaining combat power, or is it expected that reinforcements will come?"

"No, this hypothesis is not realistic. Under the current situation that the "class dominators" have been suppressed, there are only those who are willing to lend a helping hand to the community that has been attacked by the Demon King, and only the Bull King is left. That Niu King is now supporting the "Gui Ji" alliance, so there are only two possible reasons!"

Lin quickly raised her right hand.

"First of all, the first possibility is that the participants are confident enough to come here and crack the entire game."

"You mean the Purification Demon King?"

"Yes, he is the only one who can give them confidence by staying in "Underwood" at this stage. Of course, this situation is the easiest to grasp, and it is also developing toward the line set by His Highness. So the problem lies in another assumption. ."

Speaking of this, Lin put away her boring expression and squinted her eyes to look around.

"--This is the most serious assumption. The participants have already solved the puzzle and are facing a situation where they have to launch a forcible attack. For example--an important person in the organization has been taken into the enemy city due to some accident. "

In an instant, everyone, including the shadows hidden in the shadows, was vigilant in vain, and the terrifying murderous aura covered the entire castle, and the strong sense of oppression caused the surrounding buildings to tremble violently.

"... It doesn't matter if I or Miss Ola, Grandpa Ge are discovered, after all, it was originally expected. But if the other party notices the presence of Your Highness, it will be dangerous, because Your Highness is our ultimate trump card. It cannot be easily exposed in this kind of game. Just in case, I hope you can go to the ground to hide."

After finding that there was nothing unusual, His Royal Highness sighed, and then moved his gaze to Ola.

"Aura, can you know the current situation of Winter Beast and Summer Grass?"

"Because that is not a servitor... even if it has been defeated by someone, I cannot know."

"What about the envoy for surveillance?"

"I'm very sorry, all have been sent to the ground. Since the other party has started to take active actions, in order to obtain more information..."

Regarding this situation, His Highness sighed and scratched his head.

"In this case, wouldn't it be tricky if someone sneaks in here? Well, forget it. Then, what about the movement of the Purifying Devil?"

"Um... uh... about this..."

"It should be impossible to see, even if Miss Ola is a'fairy', she is also a demon king~"

Lin, who responded to the girl's cute expression again, responded with her black hair.

"That's right, I didn't even see that person, ah, I really want to find a chance to meet him! But I don't know if he will be killed by his own people this time?"

The golden pupils released sharp eyes that did not match the age.

"Please don't say such dangerous words, Your Highness! Really, I don't know the details of others and they are lying there. This is not the quality that a leader should have!"

Although she is a subordinate, Lin seems to have no concept of respect and inferiority at all, and she often argues with His Highness, and even guides His Highness in a teaching tone, such as this time.

"Lin! Pay attention to your tone!"

There was a hoarse and terrible voice in the darkness, but Lin shook her long hair and hummed unconvincingly.

"Okay, Elder Ge. However, there is one thing that I find very strange. It seems that you like the Purification Demon very much? Lin."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! how could i be to a stranger..."

"It doesn't matter if you like it, do you want to grab him? Of course, if Lin is able to persuade him to join us, that would be great. Moreover, I am willing to give him a position sufficient to show his strength. How is it? Do you want to try?"

His Royal Highness White-haired gleamed with golden pupils and made enticement-confusing suggestions.

"Ahhh~ our Xiaolin actually moved the girl's heart too, really gratifying~"

Ola smiled and joked about Lin, who is usually hard to catch opportunities.

"It turns out that with the addition of that person, your Highness's goal may be achieved faster."

The serious-sounding old man seemed to have admitted this matter vaguely.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ignore you! You are all idiots! Humph! I'm looking for that blonde girl!"

"Hahahaha... remember not to touch it!"

Seeing Lin who was blushing and running away, the three remaining people laughed unscrupulously.

"However, does Your Highness really intend to accept that Purification Demon King?"

When Lin's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor, Ola asked quietly.

"Of course it depends on the guy himself. If we can recruit such talents, it will really help our plan. But if it hinders us--"

The murderous intent was pervading the surroundings, even if the white-haired boy didn't say anything, his two subordinates could fully understand the next words.

"Okay, get ready to meet up. Ola is in charge of this, and I'll hand over to Elder Grim to defeat "Underwood"."

"Follow the instructions."

"Well, your Highness, you should also be careful not to be discovered by anyone."

"Who are you worrying about? Don't remind me, I've decided that I will stay on the sidelines until the end of the game...you have to be careful not to be caught by anyone."

Nodding hard, Ola also hurriedly left the throne room.

"...Ah, yes."

His Royal Highness grinned at the figure in the dark as if suddenly thought of it.

"About the owner of the "Life Catalog"...maybe I can meet him."

"I expect so too."

From the shadows, an Eudemon with a single dragon horn on its head appeared. After it was fully revealed, it could be clearly found that its chest was engraved with the same circular system tree as the "Catalogue of Life". This is a A black griffin beast.

"An opponent who has the same gift as the man who defeated your brother "Draco Greif"... I am looking forward to it? Then, I will give the order. Once I find the owner of the "Catalogue of Life", I can leave everything behind. This is the priority. Even if it is to kill any target in front of you, I allow you to do that!"

"Comply."

His Highness's figure melted into the darkness without a trace.Glea also spread out the black wings that were not like Griffin beasts, and flew away from the corridor leading to the throne.The entire Throne Hall once again returned to its oldness and calmness.
