The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 166: Revenge for Killing Wife (Two Chapters in One)

Now all the demigods in the border area know very well that Marlenia is a big dirty bomb and cannot be messed with at all.

Menggert didn't want the royal city he had worked so hard to defend to turn into the ghostly appearance of Galid.

What's more, Li Ang called out the name of his incarnation - [Evil Omen Demon-Malkit]
During the Shattered War, Menggert used this identity to hunt down countless rebels. For those who intend to challenge the Golden Tree and have ambitions to become king, the evil omen demon is their nightmare.

But Menggert would never allow people to associate him, the King of Blessings, with evil omens and demons.

The reason lies in the word 'bad omen'.

Speaking of bad omens, we have to mention another concept: the furnace of life.

As the initial form of the Golden Tree, the role of the Life Furnace is to absorb the conflicting and diverse forms of life in the pre-Golden Tree era, so that they can blend with each other in the Golden Tree.Assimilation, and finally produces a life system of harmonious coexistence and old age - the golden law.

Similar to a blacksmith, a blacksmith uses various ores to melt iron and carbon at high temperatures, and finally produces shiny steel.

Therefore, before the golden tree has reached its peak period and the golden law has not been fully established, the mixing of various biological forms has become the norm (hybrid species).

This phenomenon is called [Melting Furnace].

For example, the Furnace Knight can transform into horns, tails, throat pouches, and wings because of the Baixiang.

In that era, the furnace statue was regarded as a sign of good fortune and a manifestation of the golden tree.

But when the border areas were unified, the golden trees grew, and the originally chaotic creatures were restrained by laws, at this time, the weird statues were no longer welcome.

This means that the incompleteness and powerlessness of the legal system is a scandal for the belief in the Golden Tree.

However, the Golden Law itself is incomplete and imperfect, so the various forms still appeared from time to time during the prosperity of the Golden Dynasty.

It's just that it changed from a good omen before to a bad omen now.

It is regarded as a symbol of curse and defilement.

Children born with evil omens are called "children of evil omens". Their fate is to have their horns, scales, tails and other "deformities" cut off by their parents, relatives and friends, and discarded in the sewers of the city.

The vast majority of children will die from this, and even if they survive, they will be hunted down by the Bad Omen Hunters, a radical organization that hates bad omens when they grow up.

Mengt and his younger brother Mengt are such a pair of ill-omened twins born from the royal family.

Both of them have horns and tusks, the elder brother has a tail, and the younger brother has wings.

It is obvious that the mother Malika is the spokesperson of the golden tree, but her child is born with evil omens. If word spreads, it will definitely shake the people's faith.

Therefore, their existence has become a scandal that the royal family has tried hard to cover up for many years.

In the end, the two princes who were supposed to be extremely noble and high-status, although they were not deformed alive, were secretly imprisoned in the sewers of the royal city since birth, tied with prison equipment, and strictly guarded.

However, even though Menggert suffered a lot and grew up underground without seeing the sun, he still stayed close to the golden tree and believed in the golden law.

And when the royal city was in danger, he stepped forward and led the army and people of the royal city to resist the king's coalition forces.

The victory in the two Rodel defense battles won him the unanimous allegiance of the royal city and surrounding areas. The identity of the abominable omen is still a secret that cannot be exposed.

So in order to maintain his rule, Menggert first used clever means to hide his true identity, and governed the royal city under the name of "The Invisible Blessing King". In this way, the devout people and middle- and lower-class soldiers in the Golden Tree were unable to Knowing his origin, you won't feel disgusted.

Moreover, because he inherited a large rune located on the central axis of the French Ring, everyone recognized him as the legitimate descendant of the royal family and heir to the throne.

In addition, Menggert also adopted harsh repressive measures. Not only did he form a special force [Night Cavalry] that patrolled at night and hunted down those who coveted the throne, he also personally transformed into an ominous demon and killed all the people in the border area. Rebellious thieves everywhere.

With the above-mentioned sparing no efforts, the authority of the Golden Dynasty was maintained, and he became the person closest to the throne.

Therefore, Mongert will never allow anyone to destroy this hard-won situation.

He ordered all the soldiers to return to their posts, and then said to Marlenia: "If you want me to answer questions, just come in and see me yourself. You are a rebel who doesn't obey!"

Since he was wary of scarlet corruption and wanted to hide his ominous identity, he didn't want to have a rash conflict with the Valkyrie, lest the other party be ruined.

Moreover, Wangcheng is preparing to attack the Shanshan Mansion, so no mistakes can be made at the critical moment.

Marlenia was not surprised by this result. The reason why she had the confidence to enter the royal city without a single soldier was because she expected that Mengt would not dare to fall out with her for the time being.

In addition, not bringing any subordinates actually sends a message: I am not here for the throne of Elden.

As for letting Li Ang accompany him, it was Fen Lei who was worried about his master's safety and strongly requested it.

"Come on, let's go in."

With a greeting, Marlenia walked steadily into the boudoir.

In the circular space, a semicircular stone throne lies in the center. A huge ring hangs on the dome, with black and gold curtains hanging around it. The light of the golden tree shines through the holes specially left in the dome. The ring covers the entire throne, indicating the noble status of the person sitting here.

Mengt, who had revealed his true form, stood beside the throne with no intention of sitting down.

He was stroking the rough stone base with one hand and holding a twisted cane with the other hand. A bunch of weird horns sprouted from his head. He was wearing a cloak made of broken fur. His exposed skin showed a strange gray-black color, and It is covered with scales and long hair, and has a deformed tail with pincers trailing behind it.

People only know the ferocious evil omen demon, but they don't know that this ugly appearance also belongs to King Rodel.

"If Queen Malika knew that you, a group of rebellious people manipulated by the fire of ambition, had turned the dynasty into what it is now, I wonder if she would regret granting you the blessing."

Mongert made no secret of his resentment towards the traitors and held each of them close to his heart.

Marlenia was about to say something when Li Ang spoke first and said, "How are you sure she doesn't know? Maybe her old man is willing to see what's happening now."

"Presumptuous!" Menggert slammed his cane to the ground with great force, making a deafening sound.

"I am communicating with the master you serve, and you are not qualified to speak."

Because of his background, the most important thing for him is rules. He can do whatever he is and never cross the line.

And Li Ang has already crossed the line twice.

"He is not one of my subordinates." Marlenia said calmly.

Li Ang was shocked when he heard this, and was fired by his boss!

"He is my friend." Marlenia continued.

Li Ang pretended to wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead. Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

Not only was he not fired, he was promoted.

Menggert sneered a few times: "How can gods and mortals become friends? But I'm too lazy to care about you rebellious bunch. Tell me what you're doing with me."

Marlenia said straight to the point: "For my brother Michaela."

Mongert laughed a few more times: "Hahaha, I think you are corrupt and extremely ill. If you want to find your brother, you should go to Galid to find Latarn, instead of coming to the royal city to ask me."

"I can tell you clearly that I don't know where Michaela is."

"Now that I have answered your questions, leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Li Ang asked at this time: "How long has it been since you last seen your brother?"

Menggert's expression froze for a moment, and then he said impatiently: "This has nothing to do with you."

During the Battle of Rodel, in order to prevent Three Fingers, who was imprisoned in the sewers of the Royal City, from spreading his madness, he ordered his younger brother Meng to go guard.Since then, the two have indeed not seen each other again.

"Another fool who was kept in the dark, you might as well change your name to Menggut from now on." Li Ang didn't care whether the other party understood the homophone or not, and he spat out venom without hesitation.

Marlenia next to her was a little embarrassed because she was one of the fools.

"Don't go too far!" Mengt was angered: "Looking at the face of Valkyrie, I allow you to speak. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will make you pay the price today!"

Li Ang didn't take his threat seriously at all: "Forget it, if you wanted to take action, you should have done it long ago."

"To tell you the truth, we have planted seeds of corruption in the city now."

"As long as something goes wrong with my Lianlian, just wait until the flower of corruption blooms in the royal city."

After saying that, he winked at Mengt: "It's more serious than Galid~"

Marlenia glanced at Li Ang in surprise, when did we let go of the seeds of corruption?
Also, what the hell is this 'Lianlian' called?

Mengt had no choice but to believe it, with deep resentment and violence in his eyes.

"Marlenia, you finally succumbed to corruption. As a descendant of God, I am ashamed of you!"

Valkyrie subconsciously wanted to retort, but the words came to her lips as: "Yes, I took the initiative to embrace corruption, but all this was caused by your brothers!"

Mongert was confused by these words, but he had a brain and soon had a premonition that his brother must have done something treacherous behind his back.

"Come with me and talk somewhere else."

The queen's boudoir was still too close to the royal city, and he was afraid that the next topic would be too shocking and would be overheard.

Marlenia wanted to insist on staying where she was, but was forced to move by Li Ang.

"Follow up and have a look before we talk."

Then, the two gods walked through the boudoir alone, climbed the steps of the covered bridge, and came to the huge square platform at the foot of the golden tree.

This platform seems to be used for sacrifices. It has no roof covering and is only shaded by golden trees. There are columns erected around it. The columns are full of patterns. There are hollow stone carvings between the columns. It is the highest position in the entire royal city. Architecture separates the boundary between God and man.

At the same time, it also symbolizes the legal status of the ruler's divine right to kingship. The Eldon throne located behind the platform illustrates this point.

Behind the throne are the towering stairs leading to the inside of the golden tree.

Mongert stopped in front of the throne, but still did not sit on it. He just chose to stand by the armrest.

With a wave of his hand, six high-backed chairs made entirely of light appeared on the platform.

"Find a place to sit and let's talk."

In the past, the two kings of Elden would summon the demigods to discuss affairs here. These high-backed chairs were prepared for the demigods.

Ironically, there is no place for the Omen Twins inside.

Marlenia sat down in her own seat with ease, and Li Ang took a fancy to the baby chair belonging to Lani at a glance.

Unfortunately, he had no choice but to give up because he was too far away from the Valkyrie.

Instead, Michaela's position was chosen.

Menggert glanced at Li Ang with extreme disgust and decided to replace the chair under him after this incident was over.

It is simply a defilement of the demigods!
"Is Michaela's disappearance really related to my useless brother?"

While asking questions, Menggert suddenly noticed that Li Ang was always looking behind him, and shouted sharply: "What are you looking at!"

Li Ang pretended to be dumbfounded: "There is a hole in the tree. Can you let me go in and take a look?"

"No! Get out if you keep talking nonsense!" Menggert immediately refused. He couldn't even get in, so how could he let others in?

"Okay." Li Ang sat down on his seat: "Then you can continue."

Marlenia took over the conversation: "It's not just related to Meng, he also kidnapped my brother!"

Mongert's first reaction after hearing this was that it was impossible. The god-man Michaela was recognized as the most dangerous existence among demigods. If Mongert had the ability to kidnap him, he would not have been imprisoned in the sewers of the royal city.

But if you think about it carefully, with Mengge's stubborn and unruly character, it is very likely that he would do such a thing.

His younger brother is different from him. Because of his childhood experiences, he is extremely disgusted with the belief in the Golden Tree and refuses to listen no matter how much he tries to persuade him.

Combined with all the things that happened during the defense of Rodel, Menggert was basically convinced that it was his younger brother who kidnapped Michaela.

But the problem is, no matter what, he is still his brother.

If he is betrayed casually, what is the difference between him and the group of traitors who betrayed the Golden Dynasty?
"So you came here this time to ask me about Mengge's whereabouts?"

"Yes." Marlenia nodded and admitted: "It was because of the help of my brother and His Highness Godwin that you two brothers did not become rotting corpses in the sewer. If you still think about the kindness in the past, tell me that Meng is now Where!"

After the ill-omened twins were imprisoned in the sewers, as the elder brother, Crown Prince Godwin could not change his parents' decision, but he always protected his two younger brothers in another way.

Or give them clothes, food, or some items that can protect themselves.

Michaela, who had a good relationship with Godwin, often helped out after learning about the existence of the brothers.

So there was nothing wrong with Marlenia's words. If it weren't for the two of them, it would be difficult for the Bad Omen Twins to survive in the extremely harsh sewers of the royal city.

The truth is this, but Menggert still said the same thing: That's his biological brother.

You can't betray my brother just for your brother, right?

But it was impossible for Mongert to say this openly. What he wanted to do was to stabilize Marlenia first, and then go to Monger and ask him to hand over Michaela on his own initiative.

This not only protects the royal city, but also satisfies Marlenia's request, and the younger brother's life is no longer in danger.

The idea is great, but how to implement it is a problem.

No matter what, hold the person back.

"I will certainly remember Michaela's kindness to our brothers back then, but I have a question for you. You said that my brother kidnapped Michaela. Do you have any evidence?"

"For no reason, why would he do this?"

Marlenia turned to look at the man next to her, because she really didn't know the specific reason.

Li Ang stood up from his chair: "Our Blessing King doesn't care about the reason, he just doesn't want to tell us Mengge's whereabouts."

"So what are you waiting for? Just do it!"

After saying that, he drew out the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood: "It just so happens that I also have revenge to avenge!"

As for what kind of hatred?Revenge for killing his wife!
Melina turned into a spirit body and had scars left by flames on her hands, which were given by Monget.

This grudge is serious!
　I'll try to finish the Ring of Magic copy around the beginning of next month. Also, I'll work hard to update it next month!
