Welcome to Nightmare Game III

Medong Ridge City, the deepest dungeon of Midsummer Palace.

In the heavily guarded taboo cell, Queen Dragon Ant stood at the table, flipping through the scriptures.Her expression was calm and indifferent, and she seemed indifferent to her situation.However, the slightly trembling fingers when turning the pages showed that she was not at peace right now.

The council's rebellion came unexpectedly.

A few months ago, her incarnation fell during the battle in the Demon Realm. At that time, the battle was fierce, and her body had to leave the underground ant city and come to the Demon Realm to control the situation.

Stepping out of the safety of the "ant nest" posed additional risks for her.

A few days ago, the Witch of Despair and the Witch of Nothingness in the southern border suddenly parachuted into the city of Medongling. They reached a secret agreement with the Witch of Resentment at some point and sent her to the dungeon three-on-one.

Political games in the Demon Realm have always been accompanied by blood and violence.

Today, she has not been deprived of the position of chief. Based on the ancient magic protection of the council, the three witches cannot execute her before retiring from the position of chief, but it will not be too long.

The core members of the council are gathering at Metton Ridge City for up to three days. The presence of two-thirds of the council members is enough to initiate a meeting to re-elect the chief.

Once she loses her chief position, what awaits her is the traditional end of the political struggle in the Demon Realm. The most she can do is fight for a decent death for herself.

Queen Dragon Ant turned over another page of the scriptures, her eyes fell on the words, but she didn't imprint them in her mind.

Has the letter been sent?Can the head maid receive her secret letter?Have the people of Qi Le set off from the Land of Twilight?Everything, is there still time?

I'm afraid it's too late, Aya knows very well.Now the subordinates of the three witches have firmly controlled the teleportation array of Metung Ridge City, and also controlled all the passages in and out of Metton Ridge City. If the messenger wants to leave Metton Ridge City, he must spend more time more dangerous passage.

So, by the time Qi Leren received the letter for help, she must have died, Aya lowered her eyes.

She had expected death.

Ever since she was an orphan of the Valentine tribe, she had been witness to death, and the monthly demon tides claimed the lives of her people, and she was lucky enough to survive to adulthood, becoming the Holy Fire Maiden of the Dragon Ant Queen.

In a corner she couldn't see, her people had been slaughtered by demons.

Later, she was involved in the succession of Queen Dragon Ant. Among thousands of candidates, she became the lucky one. To her king.

Then came the turbulence of the past three years. Her remaining innocence was quickly wiped out on the bloody land of the Demon Realm. She began to get used to everything here, and even thought that her heart was strong enough to control the dangerous world. situation.

But she was still too naive.

She has been the chief of the council for three years, but she still hasn't seen through the essence of the demon world—the eyes full of ambition and desire in the council were not suppressed by her wrist.

What they feared was never her, but the Demon King of Destruction who sat high on the throne.

They feared him, feared the holy sword in his hand with half the blood of the city flowing, feared the corpses of the lords kneeling at his feet, and feared the carefully preserved scripture on his knee.

How long can obedience born out of fear last?After the source of fear is missing, that false resignation is quickly filled with ambition.

Those countless pairs of greedy eyes hoped that the demon king on the throne would be as crazy as his father and become an invincible weapon in their hands.

They long for a mighty mad king.

You will not succeed, Aya murmured in her heart, because the people of Qi Le are coming.

She laughed silently, and looked up at the cell door that was slowly opening.

The Witch of Resentment walked into the dungeon slowly, with an uncontrollable joy on her face: "Master Chief, are you ready for your end?"

Aya tentatively asked: "I guess, is it burning? Or the most popular magma execution in Medongling City?"

The tone of her question was very calm, as if she was discussing how to die.

The Witch of Resentment laughed softly, and she kissed the poisonous snake on her wrist. At this moment, she and her pet had exactly the same eyes, cold and bloodthirsty and cruel.

"No, it's cut in half," she said.

Aya was stunned, and she nodded: "It seems that you don't plan to lose the key transfer station of the underground ant city. Come to think of it, you have already arranged an heir for me?"

The inheritance of the Dragon Ant Queen's lineage does not depend on blood, but on the Dragon Ant's sacred body below her waist. As long as her half body is handed over to the heir in a ceremony, the original domain of order will complete the transition safely.

Aya put her hand on her lower abdomen, through the fabric, she could still feel the coldness of the dragon ant's body.She has almost forgotten the feeling of running in the desert with her legs when she was young.

"Your successor will be a likable demon. The Witch of Despair has already made the arrangements. Please rest assured, Master Chief." The Witch of Resentment emphasized the title of Master Chief, and her tone was full of sarcasm.

The heir chosen by the Witch of Despair?

Aya lowered her head calmly, and flipped through a page of the textbook with her fingers, while her mind was nervously analyzing the problems in her words.

Why is the Witch of Despair picking an heir instead of the Witch of Resentment?

These two witches belonged to the old department of the old devil, plus a witch of nothingness. These three witches controlled most of the seats in the council. The secret power struggle between the three lasted for more than 20 years.

The origin of the Void Witch determines that she has little interest in power. What this witch pursues is supreme power, not power.

But the open and secret struggle between the Witch of Despair and the Witch of Resentment has never stopped, and it is absolutely impossible for them to trust each other.

In the past three years, Aya has repeatedly targeted the conflicts between the two, and only then has she grasped the overall situation of the council.

Now, what kind of agreement is it that allows these two people to put aside their past grievances and unite to get rid of her first?Aren't they worried about the distribution of spoils afterwards?You know, there are not so many rules of integrity among demons.

Something must have happened between these two people that she didn't know about, Aya thought heavily.

"I'm not surprised that the Witch of Despair will stand with you. What surprised me is that you would tell me frankly that my heir was chosen by Despair. You didn't intend to hide in front of me that she can treat you and the whole world. The situation has a key influence. This can't help but make me more curious, how did you put aside the past grievances and work together?" Aya asked directly.

With her current status as a prisoner, and the Witch of Resentment's confidence in getting rid of her, there is a high possibility that the Witch of Resentment will tell her the answer directly.

A weird smile appeared on the radiant face of the Witch of Resentment.

"Almost forgot, you used to be a human being. At critical moments, you still can't think in the way of the demon world. This is the reason why you have fallen into this situation, chief lord."

Aya looked at her coldly, waiting for her answer.

"It's very simple. Before I came to Metung Ridge, we held a secret wedding in the capital." The Witch of Resentment announced the answer.

Marriage, marriage in the devil world, mostly has nothing to do with love, but is inseparable from power.

Two evenly matched political opponents, in order to overthrow the powerful chief of the council, concluded an unbreakable alliance with a marriage contract-we give up the past grievances, we will not hurt each other, and we share all the power from now on .

This secret wedding allowed them to share power.

From then on, they not only represented themselves, but also represented their partners.

That's why the Witch of Resentment told Aya frankly that it was the Witch of Despair who was choosing an heir for her.It wasn't that the Witch of Despair naturally possessed this power, but marriage, which allowed the Witch of Resentment to share this power with her.

"So that's how it is..." Aya sighed, "I didn't expect you to form an alliance in this way."

It was her experience as a human that affected her understanding of the ecology of the demon world.

She always felt that the two of them would never develop such a relationship—these two witches didn't even want to participate in night parties with each other, and they never shared lovers, which meant that the relationship between the two was extremely bad.

The calamity demon who organized the party even had to hold two events separately, forcing the members of the council to rush to the banquet.In the words of Calamity Demon: The bad relationship between the two of them put unnecessary pressure on everyone's kidneys.

But Aya forgot that this is the Demon World, and two political enemies who deeply loathe each other may also enter into a covenant of marriage.But she was defenseless against it.

Aya turned a page of the scriptures again, and said coldly: "I already know the matter, and I will attend the inheritance ceremony on time. Also, I wish you a happy wedding."

The Witch of Resentment smiled coldly, and after admiring the embarrassment of her opponent who pretended to be calm, she walked out of the underground cell without looking back.

In the dark and simple cell, Aya was left alone again.

The queen, who was no longer young, did not maintain her usual grace and elegance. She held her forehead with one hand and shook her head. The gold bracelet on her hand was connected to the ring on her middle finger, and the thin chain made a crisp collision sound with her movements.

She stood up, and the body of the dragon ant under the skirt moved, and the legs of the arthropods collided with each other on the ground of the dungeon, making a special sound.

She stopped in front of the round mirror in the corner of the dungeon. After a brief hesitation, she bit her fingertips and wrote two words in blood on the mirror: nothingness.

The bloodstains gradually disappeared on the mirror surface, and a clear image appeared in the round mirror. It was the nihilistic witch who sat beside the cold stove and read a book in Braille with her fingers. Xinjiang.

After Southern Border was included in the territory of the Demon King of Destruction, Southern Border, which was hot all year round and rich in natural resources, became the dream land of almost all high-ranking demons, except Naxin.

Ironically, the Demon King of Destruction chose Na Xin from the council group who hated the climate in southern Xinjiang, and ordered her to take over southern Xinjiang.The snow demon, who hates the sun and heat, had to reduce going out and light a cold stove in his residence in southern Xinjiang to maintain a cold and comfortable environment.

Also because of the blood of the Snow Demon, this witch has an astonishing beauty. Under the cold light of the snow furnace, her snow-white skin looks like shining jade. Tired of the world.

She was half lying on a comfortable rocking chair, her eyes were lightly closed, and an open Braille book was on her lap. Her fingers as crystal as white snow lightly brushed over the pages of the book, reading out the needle-punched braille on it.

Beside her, there is a stack of ancient books that have just been translated into Braille, and each page is the characters tattooed on the pages of the pages by the demon slaves day and night.

In fact, this is not necessary. Although she is blind, as long as she wants, she can "see clearly" the words on the page.

However, as a noble member of the Council, the Void Witch, who has a huge territory and resources, would rather have thousands of demons translating Braille day and night than spend a little effort to "read" normal books .

As for whether the slaves will be blinded by the weak candlelight, or whether they will be treated as garbage because they lose their function after being blinded, the witch doesn't care.

Even, she was once a slave.

The arrogance and tyranny of the devil can be seen.

However, this is the only helper Aya can possibly get now.

Nassin closed the book and smiled at the magic mirror. The smile made her face like a delicate doll come alive: "I have been waiting for your call for a long time, Mr. Chief."

Aya tried to discern her position from her words, and she felt a certain possibility: maybe, the Void Witch was not completely on their side.

After all, a marriage of resentment and despair means that they will share the power of the chief, and it also means that the Void Witch may be squeezed out of the center of power.

Even if the Void Witch's desire for power is indifferent, it doesn't mean she will sit back and watch everything.

"Let's talk about cooperation." Aya suggested in a polite tone.

Naxin didn't answer, she reached into the complicated dress with her left hand and took out something.

She slowly spread her hands, each white finger like a blooming white flower.

In the palm of her hand, there really is a white sea of ​​moonlight, slowly blooming like magic, and in the heart of the flower is a dazzling gold ring with ruby.

"Your dark skin complements the luster of gold, and the red gemstones are just like your eyes when you are angry. I have such an honor, can I wear this ring on your ring finger?" Nassin said with her incomprehensible With an ups and downs in his voice, he asked sternly.

The author has something to say:

PS: This is the marriage in the devil world. Marriage means the binding of power relations, and they can represent each other.

Of course, it doesn't prevent them from eating steaks...

PPS: So when His Majesty the Demon King is not at home, the Queen can represent him with full authority, hehe.
