The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 826
The laughter echoed in the tent like a ghost.

In the wilderness like Kunlun Mountain, it is also fortunate that Asmodeus is a serious demon king of hell. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have a heart attack due to Yang Yang's sudden laughter.

However, although Asmodeus was not frightened into a heart attack, he was not much worse. When he heard Yang Yang say that name with a smile, he couldn't move.

Lucifer Morningstar.

Although this name is well-known in the West, few people in the East can say it.

Just as every place has its own customs, every place has different names for the same thing.

Especially in places like Shenzhou and the West, separated by the entire Kunlun, many things are even more so.

Although there are many things in China today that come from the West, their usual name is still used.

But there are still many things that are different, and the most powerful of them are myths and legends.

Unlike other daily necessities, things like myths and legends are things that are rooted in the blood of a place and a nation. Such things, no matter from which aspect, are not so easy to imitate.

Just as there are demons in the West and monsters in China, for humans in China, compared to non-human creatures such as demons, vampires, and werewolves in the West, monsters or ghosts in China are actually more scary things.

Although the dangers of the two sides are similar, in other words, the danger of the latter is far less than that of the former.

After all, the underworld has not appeared in front of the world for a long, long time, and ghosts are nonsense, but vampires and werewolves do exist.

So if you really want to be afraid, ordinary humans should be more afraid of those things.

However, the creatures in China are still more afraid of things like ghosts and monsters in their hearts. This is culture.

The same way is also reflected in mythology.Although some things can be translated, they are always less meaningful than the original version.

And that's what made Asmodeus feel nervous.

"Yeah." But he didn't speak, so Yang Yang naturally couldn't speak, and he didn't answer in a low voice until the laughter dissipated in the darkness.

"Then tell me, what kind of person is Lucifer Morningstar? You are here under his orders, right?" Yang Yang didn't seem to understand Asmodeus' nervousness at all. Just like inquiring about a very common gossip, he continued to ask: "Then tell me, are those legends true?"

"What legend?" Listening to his question, Asmodeus felt that he could hardly breathe, and he didn't know why Yang Yang suddenly brought up this matter.

Yes, they were avoiding one thing along the way, that is, Yang Yang and Michelle thought about it, but no matter what, what should come still had to come, even if they were not allowed to think about it, Yang Yang still asked.

It's just that what Asmodeus couldn't understand was why Yang Yang asked at this time. Why did he have to start asking after entering this valley when he had so many opportunities before?
It can be seen from Yang Yang's question that he actually doesn't know anything about the hell in the West as he imagined.

He still knows something more or less, from the fact that he can accurately say the name of the emperor.

Most of the Chinese people, their perception of the Lord of Hell may be at such a vague level as the Seven Great Demon Kings or Satan.

But Yang Yang is obviously different, he accurately said the name of Jun Shang.

He didn't know if Shenzhou was like this, but in their world, the name represented glory, destiny, and inheritance.

If it is not necessary, few people will call other demons by their names, especially the man standing at the top of hell. They are all respected as the emperor, or your majesty.

Occasionally there is an emissary from heaven, and they will call him His Highness.

At most, Metz, who is more familiar among them, would call him Lucifer, but it was really the first time Asmodeus had seen a person who was called by his first name and who knew exactly what the name stood for.

"It's fallen angels, or something." Yang Yang's tone sounded very relaxed, and he asked, "Are those real?"

"Some are true." Asmodeus took a deep breath, and then said: "Some are true and some are false, isn't that what legends are like? Humans always have deviations in their recording methods, don't you know this too? "

"That's right." Asmodeus' words seemed to remind Yang Yang of something. After a moment of silence, he said: "There is indeed a problem with the way humans record, but it's pretty cute when you think about it. If it weren't for them, we would have The frequency with which we appear now has long been forgotten."

Be it gods and monsters, or goblins and monsters, if it weren't for the persistent pursuit of records by human beings, they might have been forgotten long ago.

"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet." Hearing that he agreed with his words, Yang Yang smiled and continued: "Let's talk about your Lucifer Morningstar. What kind of person is he?"

What kind of person is Lucifer Morningstar?
After Asmodeus heard this question, he was silent for a long time, because he didn't know how to answer it.

In other words, he himself hadn't thought about it.

It seems to be a common feature of China and the West not to make false claims about those in power.

For Asmodeus, the King is naturally powerful. No matter in heaven or after hell, he has displayed incomparably powerful power, but what else?

What was he like, what did he like and dislike?What is his temperament?These are questions that Asmodeus has never thought about, not just him, he feels that most of the residents of hell will not think about this question, including other demon kings.

It's not that I'm not curious, it's that I don't dare.

You wonder what your boss is thinking, you wonder what your friends and lovers are thinking, but you never wonder what God is thinking.This may be what the demons think.

For Asmodeus and the denizens of Hell, the King is their god.

"I have no way to answer you." Asmodeus did not speak, and Yang Yang did not urge him. He seemed to have infinite patience, but after Asmodeus finished the previous sentence, he added a sentence : "We don't have a lot of time to meet him, so we don't know much about him."

Even if they meet a lot, they may not necessarily understand.

"Then does he live alone? Does he have his own palace?" Yang Yang didn't have much reaction to this. It was different from calling out Lucifer Morningstar's name when he spoke before. In the situation where Asmodeus was unwilling to say it Next, he didn't seem to want to entangle too much about it, so he said with a smile: "What about you demon kings? I listen to you, you rule by painting the land? Does he have his own territory, his territory? Is it much bigger than you?"

There is nothing to hide about this question, but because of the previous questions, Asmodeus still didn't make it so clear. He said vaguely: "Each of us has our own territory, and hell has its own territory." Eight floors, each of us has one floor, strictly speaking, Junshan has no territory."

"Huh?" Yang Yang was a little curious when he heard this: "Didn't it mean that everyone is on the first floor? Isn't the rest of you seven demon kings his territory?"

"Hell is like an upside-down tower. The area becomes smaller as you go down. The place where your majesty is is not too big. According to his intention, it becomes his palace. When we are free, won't bother him."

As soon as he said that, Yang Yang understood.

It is equivalent to saying that every devil has his own place, and so does Lucifer Morningstar.

It's just that for some reason, whether it's because he doesn't like other demons, or because he's naturally withdrawn, in short, he turned his own place into a palace, and stipulated that other demons must not enter.

"Then he must be very boring?" Yang Yang said so, and added: "Alone, hey, by the way, is your hell dark? Do you have a light source underground?"

"Yes." Asmodeus didn't seem to want to talk too much about it, and he said casually: "Demons are different from human legends. We are actually not very afraid of light."

"Oh." Yang Yang nodded upon hearing this.

Just when Asmodeus thought he would continue to ask something, Yang Yang said: "It's getting late, let's go to bed early, otherwise we won't be able to keep up when we are on the road tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he was quiet.

Asmodeus listened to his movement, and after a while, he slowly closed his eyes.

Tonight is really dangerous, Asmodeus thought so, but when he was about to fall asleep, Yang Yang suddenly spoke, and he asked in a low voice: "Asmodeus, Lucifer Morningstar He also has a nickname, right? What is his nickname? I remember seeing it in a book..."

The moment Asmodeus heard this, he tightly clenched his hands, but the words Yang Yang said seemed to be like a dream, with no front or back.

When Asmodeus calmed down and let go of his hands, he realized that his palms were covered with sweat.

In the darkness, he looked at Yang Yang's direction and began to be in a daze.

What did Yang Yang mean by what he said?Is he implying that he already knows?Or do you remember it occasionally?

However, no matter what, he didn't have the courage to wake Yang Yang up and ask him what was going on.

Outside the tent, Samuel, who should have been paying attention to the movement outside the camp, turned his head and looked in the direction of Asmodeus and his tent, showing a weird smile.
