Preliminary summary: Under the leadership of the brave, the rebel army broke through the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Darkness. At the moment of victory, why did the brave enter the main castle alone?

The capital was destroyed, the building was about to collapse, the devil didn't want to escape, but he abdicated himself and smashed the priceless scepter?

Will the first—perhaps also the last—meeting between the devil and the brave be tense or harmonious [Note]?

The first act, the imperial capital of the dark kingdom, the main castle of the devil, the first scene

In the middle of the dark hall, there was a coffee table, and Isaac and Lilis were sitting face to face at the coffee table, staring at each other.

Isaac: (scratches his head and laughs) Your Majesty the Demon King, your tea table is all set out, why is there no tea?

Lilis: (smiling, turning a blind eye to the leaves that fell out of Isaac's hair due to Isaac's actions) I just ran out of tea last night, and I wanted to send someone to buy them today, but unfortunately you came so fast, the attendants ran away It's also pretty fast.

Isaac: (with a bit of embarrassment in his smile) Haha, ha, it’s okay to have clear water, I’m a little thirsty...

Lilis: (continuing to smile) Then I have to trouble you to go outside to fetch water yourself. This kind of thing is usually done by the servants. I don’t even know where the water is fetched. I’m really sorry.

Isaac: (put away his smile) Forget it, His Royal Highness, let’s get straight to the point, I’ve read "Book of Eternity".

Lillis: (unshakable smile) Yeah.

Isaac: I know that only the brave can kill you now, and I also know the absurd reincarnation of good and evil——1000 years after the death of each devil king, a new devil king will be born, and the kingdom of darkness will be established again, and then be destroyed by the demon king at that time. The brave kill.

Lillis: (still smiling) Yeah.

Isaac: (Pause) I think I kind of know you as a person, you've been pushing for equality for all people for over 800 years. The Abolition of Slavery Act, the Occupational Equality Act, the Equality of Men and Women Act... Every time you issue a bill like this, there will be a bloodbath, but you always gently wait for people to accept and get used to one bill before introducing another ministry bill.You are a benevolent and caring monarch, you certainly don't want the people to suffer in such absurd cycle of good and evil, right?

Lillis: (smiling all the time) So, what do you mean?

Isaac: (with a straight face) I want to work with you.

Lilis: (raises eyebrows) Oh?What kind of cooperation method?

Isaac: (scratching his head) Well, that's...announcing that you lost to me, and then I put you in a dungeon—of course, you won't really be put in a dungeon, I will prepare you for comfort Residence, even if you wish, I can arrange for you the status of a minister, so that you can continue to work for the people of the world, but I will trouble you to "die" last time in decades.Since you have eternal lifespan, I will ask my descendants to fulfill all your requirements, and you will not be subject to any restrictions. As long as my descendants are still alive, you are absolutely free.What do you think?

Lilis: (still smiling) I'm sorry, I'm taking the liberty to ask, have you finished?

Isaac: (somewhat at a loss) Uh, it's over, I...

Lilis: (with the same smile) In all fairness, although the content of your speech is not outstanding, and even a little embarrassing, but with your actions and demeanor, it is still contagious, but it is a pity, (he will The upper body leaned back, narrowed the slender eyes, and the whole person looked a little lazy) No matter whether your speech is good or not, it will not impress me.

Isaac: (little confused) Huh?

Lillis: (Brows slightly lowered) I regret to tell you that your speech, from the very beginning, was wrong.I am not a benevolent and caring monarch.

Isaac: (Continuing to be confused) Then...

Lilis: (smiling) Over the past few hundred years, I have promoted those laws. On the one hand, it is because of the first article of the "Devil King Code", "Every devil king must take ruling the world as his top priority, and make the country rich and the people strong." The people's well-being is the second priority, and the injustice in the world is the third priority." On the other hand, it is because they are laws that were enacted when the country was first established.

Isaac: "The Devil's Law"...?

Lilis: (with a kind smile) Oh, yes, the previous brave man seems to have said that you also have a copy of "The Rules of the Brave". The first sentence seems to be...

Isaac: (with embarrassment on his face) Cough, this, let’s not mention this for now...

Lilis: "In order to destroy the master of the kingdom of darkness and its supporters, establish a powerful kingdom, and let light fill the world, at all costs!"——If I remember correctly.

Isaac: (forced to change the subject embarrassingly) Well, well, what do you mean when you say that the bill was established when the country was first established?

Lillis: (raises eyebrows) What, didn't you see the proposer of the bill?I remember I marked it above.

Isaac: Uh, I just pay attention to the content of the bill...

Lillis: (mild smile) It's okay, from your speech, you have a good history, as soon as I say the names of the bills, you must know who they are.

Lilis took out the three bills from under the coffee table and arranged them one by one on the coffee table.

Lillis: (puts hand on the Abolition Act) The Abolition Act, drafted on March 3, Dark Year One, drafted by: Sebastian Berger, Ansest Chris Tove. (The cause of death is abbreviated, in short, the devil was very angry) Therefore, I passed this law in the year of darkness in 17, and used coercive and bloody methods when implementing this law.

Isaac: ...

Lillis: (reaches out to straighten the Occupational Equality Act) Occupational Equality Act, drafted on March 3, Dark Year One, drafters: Justin Hutson, Alfredo Faxey. (The cause of death is abbreviated, in short, the devil was very angry) Therefore, I passed this law in the year of darkness in 18, and used coercive and bloody methods when implementing this law.

Isaac: ...

Lillis: (Moving the "Equal Rights Act for Men and Women" to the front) "Equal Rights Act for Men and Women", drafted on March 3, the first year of darkness, drafted by: Eluza Sutherton. (The cause of death is abbreviated, in short, the devil was very angry) Although General Sutherton was killed, his group was completely wiped out, so this bill was passed in 18, and coercive and bloody methods were used to implement this law.

Isaac was silent.

Lillis: (chuckles) These bills are pretty much their last wishes, so I'm going to pass them to improve the lives of the people who killed the people who wrote them. The "Devil King's Code" stipulates that I want to be a good monarch, so after the death of those five people, I can only put to death the leader of their team, other than delaying the time to pass the bill they proposed, other than that, I can do nothing Do. (Stands up slowly, looking down at Isaac) Well, Mr. Johnson, now you understand that we can't cooperate.The people's uprising is to destroy the Kingdom of Darkness, so I personally declared the Kingdom of Darkness to be destroyed. This is the last thing I, a "good monarch", can do for my dear people.Come on, kill me, "Let light fill the world", brave man.

Isaac: (A moment of silence) I feel sorry for the death of the "Five Tigers of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", but I have made up my mind to lead the people out of this vicious cycle of good and evil. swallowed it, and threw the banana peel on the ground) Since you are unwilling to cooperate, I have no choice but to imprison you. After all, only the brave can kill you. If the brave refuses to kill you, you can only be forced to Immortal.

Lilis: (Looks seem to pass over the banana peel inadvertently) Then I seem to be able to speed up the process of updating the "brave"?

Isaac: (withdrawing the sword, ready for battle) Come on, the devil.

Lilis rushed towards Isaac's sword with one stride.

Isaac: (immediately withdraws the sword and blocks Lilis) ... What the hell?Demon King, do you want to beg so wholeheartedly...

A cloud of black magic exploded on the back of Isaac's head.

Isaac: (cannot move)...

Lilis: (smiling) Why are you so careless?

Isaac: (glaring at him angrily) ...

Lilis: Well, I'm in a hurry, so I won't chat with you.

Lilis put his chest on the tip of Isaac's sword, and there was a loud sound of metal clashing, but the sword tip and his chest were safe.

Lilis: ...

Isaac: ...

Lilis frowned and thought for a while, as if thinking of something, he looked around, his eyes fixed on the banana peel not far away.

Banana peel: Meow meow?

Lilis moved the petrified Isaac to the side of the banana peel with a magic, stepped on the banana peel to take off, and spun 720° in the air, successfully let Isaac's sword penetrate into his body, and then took the lunch box with a bah up.

Banana peel: ... Mom sells batches!

Isaac: (out of the petrified state due to the death of the caster)...Mom!

Act II, Beyond the Dark Forest, Scene I

Military Advisor: (Looking at the collapsed castle and the brave man walking slowly) Is the devil dead?

Isaac: (depressed) Dead.

Military division: Died by your hand?

Isaac: In theory, yes.

Military division: Then why are you unhappy?

Isaac: Because there's nothing to be happy about.

The military master frowned and cast a spell on him.

Isaac: (looks up at "Isaac Jensen" floating from his head) ... what are you doing?

The military division stroked his chin and looked at him suspiciously.

Isaac: (helplessly) If the devil wants to pretend to be me, you won't be able to find out with your magic.

Military Advisor: I know, (frowning) But—to be honest, you have been a little strange these days.

Isaac: (Looking fixedly at the other person, speaking slowly) I'm hiding something from you—do you want to hear it?

The third act, thousands of miles below the ruins of the Dark Lord Castle, the first scene

In the depths of the ground, everything was silent, and a small, small, but unignorable voice sounded.

Plop, plop, plop...

The author has something to say:

[Note] Qinse Harmony: This is to describe the love between husband and wife, children, don't use idioms like this stupid~

Regarding the cause of death of the devil:

The devil pounces on the brave man's sword and the brave man cannot move = the devil commits suicide.

The demon king slipped (?) on the banana peel thrown by the brave man and jumped at the brave man's sword.
