Restarting Life After Forcibly Marrying the Demon King

Li Lulu laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

In a sense, the fates of the beliefs abandoned by humans and the demons abandoned by gods are somewhat similar.

"If you have anything else you want to say, let's talk about it together, don't hold your breath, Latil."

Mina's cold voice sounded from the other side.

Looking back at the way she looked at Latil, Luo Ning really wanted to wonder if there was any deep hatred between these two women.

Mina has always been gentle, and it was the first time Luo Ning saw such cold eyes from her.

Latil smiled lightly, and alternated his legs: "Are you in a hurry?"

The slender legs are still wrapped in light black silk, and the slender high-heeled shoes will make a crisp sound when they step on the ground.

Mina looked at her quietly with cold eyes, like a cold blade.

One is an unknown smile, and the other is a chill as cold as a blade.

The eye contact between the two women made Luo Ning suspect that they were going to fight.

"I'm not kidding you, I just want to tell you where Perseus may be held after being taken away, and..."

Latil turned his gaze back to Luo Ning.

She didn't go on, she planned to let Luo Ning speak by himself.

After all, this was Luo Ning's own decision, and Ratier had no reason to speak for him.

Luo Ning took a deep breath and turned to face Li Lulu.

"Human territory is difficult to enter as you, I will go there and bring Perseus back."

He said and took out the magic book in his arms.

The Song of Leviathan has a certain buoyancy, even if Luo Ning let go of his hand, it will still be suspended in mid-air.

"There is one more important thing, I need to go to the human empire to learn magic."

"Whoa whoa-"

The magic book kept turning pages in front of Luo Ning, as if waiting for the master to call out the magic.

But Luo Ning doesn't know magic, so he can only flip through the magic book in a daze, and the slight wind blows against Luo Ning's cheek with the smell of ink and paper.

He looked at Li Lulu intently.

135 Caged Bird

"Of course, not now."

Luo Ning closed the book floating in front of him and sat back on the chair.

"I still have a lot of preparations to make. The issue of repairing the enchantment of the demon territory, and the promise to help you solve the black rain and find the truth about the weakening of the magic essence, I will not break my promise."

Luo Ning looked at Li Lulu and said.

Li Lulu didn't have much expression on her face. She had heard that Luo Ning was going to the human territory from the conversation between Luo Ning and a few humans in the fried food shop. This matter made her think about it all the way.

Now when these words came out of Luo Ning's mouth, Li Lulu actually felt a little relieved.

Now that he has made his decision, there is nothing to worry about.

"I can help with the repair of the enchantment of the Demon Race."

Latil said proactively.

After falling into the sky, the elements she controls have indeed changed from light elements to dark elements. Although they are not as strong as demons, if they are only used to repair the barrier, they can help a little.

"As for the black rain that you mentioned, Luo Ning... After I overheard your meeting last time, I launched an investigation."

As Latil said, he bent down and lifted up the cylindrical thing placed at his feet.

There is an iron ring on the top of the column, Lattier can pick it up with a light hook of his white fingers.

The whole thing is roughly in the shape of a birdcage, wrapped in a layer of black cloth, and the situation inside cannot be seen.

Luo Ning frowned, feeling a sense of doubt in his heart.

As Latil raised the cage, everyone saw a few black feathers falling out of the cage.

The feather fell lightly, but the moment it touched the air, it turned into a drop of black water and fell to the ground.

"This is..."

Mina opened her eyes wide and murmured.

"Black Rain." Luo Ning insisted.

He has been in contact with this kind of bird, so he can judge it directly.

"I have been flying in the air for a long time, and finally found a mass of black rain conceived on the territory of the demons." Latil recalled, "Fortunately, I was the one who rushed in, if it were any of you, go in It’s impossible to get out so easily.”

Latier continued: "I'm not a pure demon, the black rain's influence on me is far less than that on you, and magic can't be used in that cloud, even the most basic flying magic can't do it." , The strange birds hiding in the clouds will attack collectively, and my six wings are so strong that I can pull out a bird."

Latil gradually spread his plump wings while speaking.

When her six black wings are fully stretched, they are still a bit scary, at least visually, there will be a sense of oppression that blocks the sky and the sun.

While listening to her, Luo Ning focused on the birdcage in her hand.

Birds don't sing, just like when Luo Nin and Raz broke into the cloud, they just approach silently, slapping the intruder with their beaks and wings.

"Not only their feathers, but once these birds come into contact with the air, their bodies will turn into a pool of black water... I tried to catch them several times before, but they disappeared every time I took them out."

Latil patted the outside of the cage and continued:

"This piece of black cloth is a magic item I specially brought from humans. Its function is to control the flow of magic power... so it can be temporarily sealed."

Although Latil has been talking on her own, what she said is quite credible.

Although the black cloth outside the cage cannot be lifted for the time being, it can be seen from the continuous dripping of black water droplets under the cage that the thing in Ratier's hand is the culprit of the black rain.

Mina walked over wagging her fishtail, her gaze towards Latil was still icy and cold, and sparks could even be rubbed off when their gazes intersected.

But her target was not Ratier, she bent down in front of Ratier, stretched her arms, and lightly touched some black drops of water on the ground with her fingers.

When the black water droplets touched Mina's skin, it corroded her fingers like strong acid.

Mina's fingertips made a 'puff' sound. After a while, probably the water drops were exhausted, the sound stopped, and a gentle stream of water emerged from Mina's fish scales and wrapped around her fingertips. Healed her burns.

"It's exactly the same as the black rain that fell in Demon King City before..." Mina concluded, looking at her fingers.

Now that she has said so, there is no need for the few people present to be suspicious.

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Luo Ning, as Black Rain itself was the problem he wanted to solve.

After Luo Ning told Li Lulu the truth about the black rain last time, Li Lulu sent Fanny to guard the sky, saying that once he found the black rain gathering, he would rush in and catch a bird to study.

It's just that until today, the black rain hasn't come down yet, but Latil took the lead.

"Have you ever studied what's inside? That bird, shouldn't it be alive?"

Luo Ning asked Latil.

Judging from the fact that the black rain can float out of the territory of the demons, the birds in the black rain should not have life. Otherwise, when the protective barrier of the demons was still there, the birds in the black rain would not be so easy to escape. In and out of the Mozu.

Of course, this was just Luo Ning's preliminary judgment. He wanted to dissect the bird and study it thoroughly, but the bird's characteristic of dying at the sight of light did not allow him to do so.

"In my opinion...these birds are not alive."

Ratier walked forward with the birdcage in hand, and passed Mina.

She handed the birdcage to Luo Ning. She didn't treasure the strange bird that she managed to catch. Compared with these, she was more willing to show sincerity in front of Luo Ning.

Luo Ning hooked the ring with his hand and caught it firmly.

The weight of the birdcage was much lighter than he had imagined, and the lightness felt as if it was empty inside, but as he lifted it, he could hear the sound of a bird flapping its wings inside the cage.

The voice was familiar to him, similar to the one he heard last time he broke into the black cloud.

"But I'm more concerned about one thing," Latil retreated to his seat, and continued, "This bird has three legs, and its appearance is very similar to a species that soars in the sky in the territory of the demons. It's called 'Three-legged Crow' bird."

"Although those birds are not strong enough, they win in numbers. It is precisely because they like to attack airspace intruders in groups that those adventurers dare not fly casually in the territory of the demons."

"I actually regard them as a protective umbrella of the demons' airspace, but now it seems...our airspace umbrella has been used by people with intentions."

Latil's tone was gentle, and the spearhead in her words pointed straight at Luo Ning's previous conjecture.

"Do you know... puppet magic?"

(It's a new month, please take care of the monthly pass!)

136 The Source of Magic and the Birds and Beasts in the Cloud

"Puppet magic, a new magic that appeared in the human territory hundreds of years ago, it is said that this kind of magic is quite dark, it can kill life and manipulate them..."

"I don't know whether this kind of magic was researched and created by humans themselves, or they dug up ancient mysterious magic scrolls and learned from them. The source of magic is very mysterious. I tried to investigate it. There are so many folklore that it is really hard to tell the truth from the fake.”

Latil sighed.

"I've heard of the puppet magic you mentioned..."

Mina didn't deliberately target Lattier anymore, her tone became a lot calmer, and finally she had some gentleness that she should have.

"I only know that it is a kind of black magic, and the conditions for its activation are very cruel. It needs to hollow out the internal organs of living species, leaving only the outer fur, and then inject magic to drive them."

"However, the cost and price of launching this kind of magic are very high. As a newly rising magic, there are very few people in the entire continent who can master it..."

The "new rise" in Mina's mouth is indeed "new".

Hundreds of years have changed for human beings. Whether it is an empire with a stubborn foundation or a small country that hugs each other for warmth, earth-shaking changes will take place.But in the eyes of the demons, it is not long at all, especially for the demon kings present, hundreds of years are just a short period of time in their long lives.

But to Luo Ning, a boy who only lived for 18 years, the hundreds of years they talked about was a terrifying concept.

"Since black rains cannot be natural clouds, they can only be man-made."

"The three-legged crow in the cage is lifeless, and it will turn into a pool of black water when it encounters air... So there is a high possibility that they are controlled by puppet magic, but I don't understand why human beings can have such a powerful force." Control ability?" Li Lulu on the other side said, frowning.

"According to what Luo Ning said last time, there are tens of thousands of three-legged blackbirds hiding in the clouds. The human race has no talent in magic, and their own physical endurance will limit their magic... …I don’t think it is possible to control such a huge bird and beast puppet.”

They should indeed trace the source of the black rain back to humans.

But whether it is common sense or the arrogance of being a demon king, they cannot accept that human beings have the ability to control the fate of demons at will.

If the source of the black rain is attributed to the gods, they can accept it with peace of mind, but if the opponent is a human being with the weakest physique and a better brain, the demon kings will hesitate.

In a short silence, Luo Ning threw up the Leviathan song in his hand.

He sat up, and suddenly said to them who were thinking:

"Is there such a possibility, among human beings, some people have artifacts?"

As soon as Luo Ning said this, the four of them turned their attention to him at the same time.

"Sacred artifacts have spiritual intelligence, basically they choose their own owners, and they are scattered all over the world, so... it is not surprising that humans get them, right?"

The possibility of Luo Ning's statement is very small, but it is not impossible.

And for these demon kings, it is easier to accept that 'humans use artifacts to control their destiny' than 'humans control their destiny by their own magic'.

"Sacred weapon... If it is the power of the divine weapon, we think it is possible." Fu Ni nodded, expressing her approval.

"Someone got an artifact to manipulate puppets, and puppet magic has become popular in human territory... If you think about it this way, the sequence will be smooth." Mina also thinks this is reasonable.

The remaining Latil and Lilulu had no intention of objecting, and everyone agreed with Luo Ning's statement.

Compared with the nonsense at the beginning, now at least he knows what the problem needs to be solved. Luo Ning only needs to find the problem and solve it slowly, and the final truth will surface.

There is an inevitable connection between the puppet magic that was popular among humans hundreds of years ago and the black rain that appeared at the same time as the demons...

Luo Ning only needs to follow the birthplace of the puppet magic to find the culprit, and then those weird birds and beasts hidden in the clouds of the demon's airspace can be eliminated together.

"I probably know what to do next." Luo Ning concluded.

Speaking of which, this matter is quite complicated.

He needs to go to the human empire, several ruins of the Holy See of Light designated by Latil, look for the captured Perseus, and "kidnap" a mentor along the way to teach him magic.On the way, we will also investigate the origin of the puppet magic, and try to find clues to the disappearance of the magic element in the Demon Continent.

...Thinking about it this way, the pressure of tasks seems to be stronger than taking the college entrance examination.

"Just take the birdcage with you, maybe it can help you provide some clues." Latil set his sights on Luo Ning.
