The blood-red moonlight shines into the corridor from the carved window. The floor is covered with a soft red carpet, and a row of portraits are hung on the inner wall.
The people in the portraits are all handsome and beautiful, and they all have a pair of majestic big horns on their heads.
"These are portraits of demon kings from past generations." Andier introduced patiently with a gentle smile on his face.
The end of this corridor could be seen at a glance, but it seemed to be extremely long. Lin Ge followed Andier and walked for a while before he came to the end of the corridor. The last portrait was hung on the wall inside.
The painting shows a tough man who is more majestic than handsome. His two thick horns are particularly conspicuous and their length is astonishing. As a result, the upper half of the portrait is filled with his horns, giving him a strong sense of presence.
In the portraits Ringer saw, there were basically no horns that could compare with it.
"Is there no portrait of the contemporary Demon King?"
In the conference hall, although Linger didn't see the Demon King's face clearly, he saw the horns on his head, which were not that big.
"This is the previous generation of Demon King. Only after the Demon King abdicates will their portraits be hung here."
Further ahead was the corner, and there was no room on the wall for another portrait. Lin Ge couldn't help but ask:
"There are no more vacancies here. Where will the portraits of the current and future Demon King be hung?"
Andile said with a smile: "This corridor can be extended indefinitely. Even if it takes another hundred thousand years, it will only take a few more steps. If you are curious about the appearance of Lord Seinsti, don't worry, since the Lord allows you to walk every day. If you offer her some wine tonight, you’ll always have a chance to see her.”
Seinsti, is this the Demon King's real name? It sounds like a woman's name.
Could it be that the devil is a woman?
But considering that nearly half of the portraits in the corridor were female devils, he felt that there was nothing strange about them.
This is the eighth meeting of Sai Yinli. In other words, this demon king has only been on the throne for the eighth year?
He's the new Demon King.
"Do all demon kings talk like that? The way to instill will directly into other people's brains..."
"No, only Lord Sai Yin is like this."
Andile said.
"Since ascending to the throne of the Demon King, Master Saiin has not spoken with his mouth. I don't know if it is because of too much pressure. I remember that Master Saiin's voice is very beautiful, simply the most beautiful voice in the world. Every time I hear it, , all have a feeling of being healed, but it is a pity that I can never hear it again." Andile's face was filled with memories and great regret.
"This is Lord Sai Yin's bedroom."
Andile stopped in front of a dark red door and introduced Linge.
The door is inlaid with seven crystal skulls surrounding a serious human face.
Ringer was surprised because this face looked exactly like the Demon King in the last portrait in the corridor.
The face was staring at him and Andil, as if it were a living thing, with eyes full of vigilance.
"This is……"
Andile bowed slightly to that face, and then explained to Ringer:
"This is the guardian spirit left by the previous Demon King. It is responsible for guarding Master Saiin's bedroom. No one can enter this room without Master Saiin's permission."
"Uh, why do you look the same as the previous Demon King?" Lin Ge was so stunned by that face that he didn't dare to look directly and subconsciously looked away.
"Because the previous generation of Demon King was extremely powerful, perhaps the strongest Demon King in history. With his invincible attitude, he crushed all the forces that were dissatisfied with the Demon King's lineage, and integrated the underground world that was tending to be divided at that time."
Andile's expression suddenly became fanatical, and his eyes were filled with admiration, breaking the calm temperament he had always shown.
"I think it is precisely because of this power that the previous Demon King set the guardian spirit to look like himself. After all, no matter who sees this face, they will feel sincere respect and fear."
But there was no reverence in Ringer's heart, only fear.
Although he looked the same as the man in the portrait, unlike the majestic and calm one in the painting, the face on the door was so terrifying that it made Linge feel terrified.
After leaving the door of the Demon King's dormitory, Andier took Ringer to visit some places. Except for a few forbidden areas, Ringer was basically familiar with the structure of the Demon King's layer.
When he came to the stairs leading to the next floor, Andile suddenly stopped and his expression became serious.
"What's the matter, Mr. Andile?"
"Sorry, I just received news that there are some situations in the northeast outside the city. I have to go and deal with it myself. You can wander around the area below by yourself. Where there are guards, try not to get close.
If you meet a maid, ask her to arrange a spare room for you. Don’t worry that the maid doesn’t recognize you. You have a high-level title bestowed by Lord Sain himself. No underground creature with a lower rank than you can disobey your orders. . "
"What happened?"
It wasn't until Ringer said it that he felt something was inappropriate. As a newcomer with unknown origins, he rashly inquired about sensitive information on the first day he joined, which could easily arouse suspicion.
Sure enough, Andile did not answer, but looked at Ringer's expression with a hint of scrutiny, as if to confirm his motives.
His eyes were like a cold sharp knife, pressing against Ringer's heart.
"Sorry, I just wanted to confirm whether it was related to my friend. In fact, there was another friend who entered the portal with me, but got separated during the transmission process." Linge explained.
Only then did the dangerous light in Andil's eyes disappear, returning to his gentle look.
"I see. According to the news from over there, the target seems to be a creature from the surface world, and the time of appearance is very close to the time you appeared in the conference hall. It is indeed possible that he is your friend."
"Is it a blonde girl with big breasts?"
"No, it's a giant golden spider as big as a mountain."
Andile saw the unexpected expression on Ringer's face and asked, "Is he your friend?"
"I'm not sure. My friend's body is a golden spider, but it's not that big."
"In that case, come with me. According to the reports, that golden spider is extremely destructive. If it is your friend, maybe you can ask her to stop and save unnecessary trouble."
After saying that, a magic circle appeared under Andil's feet, including Linge and others. With a flash of purple light, their figures disappeared at the top of the stairs.
There are heavy guards stationed around the Demon King's City.
Legions, mainly composed of undead and demons, are stationed in all directions, ready to be mobilized at any time. The farthest camp is only a hundred kilometers away from the Demon King's City.
To the northeast, a riot was taking place in the Seventh Army Corps of the Guards thirty kilometers away.
White skulls surged on the ground, like a sea of skeletons. The undead soldiers held weapons and rushed towards the giant golden spider in the center of the camp.
The skeleton mages released magic in the distance, and the dense spells were as bright as fireworks, but they did not cause substantial damage to the giant golden spider.
The golden giant spider is as big as a mountain, trampling on the dense undead soldiers on the ground and moving forward. A pair of front pincers are like giant spears, driving away the bone dragon in mid-air.
