Secretary of the Devil's Castle

"Oh, sorry, didn't notice."

Tana let go of her arm casually, and waved her hand with some disdain, "Okay, okay, that who... Silvian, you can go."

"It's Sivis, Sivis Anderson, Ms. Tana."

Sivis straightened his clothes, and said with some dissatisfaction, the anger hidden in his eyes that he dared not reveal.

There is no way, the status of the Twelve Generals is even higher than that of the Four Dukes, and his own strength is also at a level that can be torn in half by Tana, not to mention that this is still the Demon King City, so don't think about how to mess around.

In the end, he could only slightly bow towards Fatalia, and said unwillingly: "Then, Your Highness, I will take my leave first. I hope you have a pleasant night."

Tana curled her lips at the back of Sivis, "I dare not even say a harsh word. The one on the head is not a mane, but a turtle shell, right? Ah, Your Highness Fatalia, good evening."

Fatalia also put down the cake and said, "Good evening, Tana, I was in a hurry when we met last time, and I forgot to thank you. Thank you for bringing me out of the wilderness."

Seeing Fatalia's serious face, Tana felt inexplicably embarrassed, waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Your Highness, you are serious, this is what I should do, I should, hehehe..."

Seeing Tana's shy and silly look, Fatalia could only shrug her shoulders. Anyway, she had already conveyed her thanks, and she couldn't control how the other party viewed it.

On the other hand, the conversation between Libitt and Ender seemed to be coming to an end.

(Before I knew it, it was more than 12 words. In order to avoid sudden listing without saving manuscripts, I will not be able to fish from tomorrow)

(...I seem to have reduced the number of updates at the beginning to save the manuscript)

Chapter 35 Stargazing Room

The first night of the three-day banquet was over. Those missions from the human empire did not talk to Ender too much. After all, the banquet was not a good time to talk about serious business. Give it to Fatalia, and leave.

In the next period of time, there were not many people who came to disturb Fatalia from enjoying the food. They all went to find Ender. Of course, Tana Tiffany and Tan kept wandering around Fatalia. For some reason, they blocked a lot of malicious sights for Fatalia, so she was able to eat all kinds of desserts brought by the waiter so leisurely.

The banquet lasted until twelve o'clock in the evening.

The double moon came to the middle of the night sky, and the nobles in the venue also left, leaving a somewhat messy banquet venue in the sky - even the nobles who call themselves noble will not have much difference from the common people in terms of maintaining hygiene. difference.

Fatalia stood in the corridor on the second floor and watched the maids clean up the hall and began to prepare for the next day's dinner. She spat out a chicken bone and threw it on the plate, "The banquet...is not as happy as I imagined. .”

For a princess who has just taken office, she doesn't know what the nobles around her are talking about, not to mention that there are three major guardians there to escort her, and other nobles dare not even approach her. In the name of a banquet, but in fact, they basically eat desserts and the like. If you want to eat a roast chicken, you have to tell the maid specially, which is really hard to like.

Fatalia really didn't understand how this group of people chatted so happily when they were hungry. Could it be that they had already eaten before coming here?

Thinking of the possibility that she, as a princess, would frequently go to various similar occasions in the future, Fatalia felt a little depressed.

"Fatalia? Haven't you gone to bed yet?"

Ender's voice suddenly came from behind, and Fatalia quickly turned her head to look at the past. At this time, Ender also changed the heavy dress and put on the usual black robe.

Fatalia scratched her cheek and replied: "I'm a little hungry, eat something, the atmosphere at the banquet is not good at all."

Ender choked suddenly, knowing that he didn't relax his attention to Fatalia. As far as he knew, Fatalia had been sitting there quietly eating all kinds of desserts, and she never stopped talking. , If the empty plates hadn't been cleaned up by the waiter, I don't know how high the stack is.

Seeing that the corners of Fatalia's mouth were still stained with grease, Ender took out a handkerchief from his pocket and squatted down to wipe it carefully. Fatalia dodged a little at first, but she still squinted her eyes and let him move. He said gently, "Is it ready to eat now?"

Fatalia raised her eyebrows a little strangely: "Eat well, what's the matter?"

Ender stood up again, and stretched out his hand to Fatalia, "Now that you've finished eating, I don't think you feel sleepy now, so do you want to come with me? I have something I want to show you."

Fatalia put her hand on Ender's palm hesitantly.

The two went up the steps until they came to a room at the top of the castle. Fatalia tiptoed from the window and looked down. She could easily see the whole Demon King City, even the noble area below the Demon King City. You can also see a lot.

And Ende came to the locked door at the end of the steps, stretched out his hand and pointed at the lock, only heard a light click, and the wooden door creaked open a gap, Ende pushed the door open , walked in, Fatalia looked around, and followed in.

This is not a big room, with no windows or magic lamps, only the faint light emitted by the magic circles for illumination, which makes the whole room look extremely dim.

There is a desk by the wall, and some messy manuscripts are scattered on the desk, and some magical props with no obvious use are piled up in the corner, and all the places that can be seen on the floor, wall and ceiling are not even visible. They are all engraved with densely packed magic circles. These magic circles are interlocking and complement each other to build the environment of this room. At the center of all the magic circles is also the center of this room. s things.

The overall shape is cylindrical, and the top is directly connected to the ceiling. It seems to stick out of the castle. The brass exterior is equipped with several switchable lenses. It is composed of multiple parts. It looks like a multi-purpose insect, but Only from the occasional mana brilliance on it, it can be known that the materials that make up the entire telescope are not ordinary things.

Ender slowly walked to the telescope and adjusted it. The lenses switched, and small magic circles emerged one after another. At the same time, he said to Fatalia: "Welcome to my stargazing room, Fatalia, sit down, Although there is only one chair."

Fatalia nodded, ran to the table and pulled out the chair and sat down, resting her cheek on Ender's work.

click!click!

With a pleasant sound of gears meshing, Ender stopped moving, and then the magic circle in the whole room was lit up, and then with a flash of bright light, Fatalia couldn't help closing her eyes, when she When he opened his eyes again, his whole body was shocked.

What appeared in her eyes was the starry sky, an endless sea of ​​stars.

The appearance of the whole room has changed greatly, the floor has become a tiled world map, but it is different from the previous life, there is only a huge continent on it, surrounded by endless oceans, and in the west of the continent There is a dark red island in the south, which is the magic island, and in the north of the mainland, at the position of the North Pole across the endless sea, it is marked with the words Dragon's Nest, and the mainland is divided into countless countries. The country with the largest territory is the Reinhardt Empire.

On the surrounding walls and ceiling, it is even more shocking.

Innumerable stars that are visible to the naked eye and invisible to the naked eye are shining there, dazzling, as if they can be touched by reaching out.

Fatalia subconsciously stretched out her hand to catch the spot of light, only to see it zoom in instantly, with a line of footnotes written next to it.

Number AS17, three types of stars, 20 billion years old.

Fatalia withdrew her arm in an instant, and looked at the countless stars around her with unconcealable surprise in her eyes—how many of them were observed and marked as footnotes?

She doesn't know, but she knows it's a big project.

"It's beautiful, Star."

Ende said this gently. At this time, he was standing inside a virtual projection in the middle of the room. The projection seemed to be the star system of the planet they were at at this moment. The burning star hung behind Ende.

(Today's first update, I can't fish anymore! I can't!)

Chapter 36 So Beautiful

Different from the imaginary classical magic stargazing room, the scene in front of Fatalia is almost something that can only be seen in the science fiction movies of the previous life.

The star system of the holographic projection can be enlarged and reduced at will. It seems that the center of observation is in this stargazing room, but it is completely invisible. It is more like standing directly in the vast deep space and embracing the stars directly. .

"What is this...?"

Fatalia's eyes widened, and she looked at Ender in surprise. Ender turned around and looked at the sun. This star that brings life to all things is spewing out a tongue of fire at this moment-it is a solar prominence.

Ende replied indifferently: "My stargazing room. Didn't I tell you? I want to go to see the stars, how can I just talk and not take action? We demons don't like to play tricks like humans. , this stargazing room was my first attempt."

Fatalia looked at Ender, who had taken it for granted, with a dazed expression, and then patted her cheek vigorously to wake up her mind, which was already full of paste, and then said against her blushed cheek, "I thought you That sentence was a joke, I always thought you were going to conquer the world."

"conquer the world?"

Ender was taken aback, and then laughed, "I conquered the world simply because I can't do interstellar travel with my own ability, so I need to conquer the whole world and use the power of the whole world to push me into the starry sky."

With that said, Ende sat down cross-legged and looked up at the boundless starry sky, "Speaking of which, I didn't want to bring you to the stargazing room so early, but the weather today is really good, if you miss that Maybe I don’t know how long it will take to meet again. Speaking of which, the first time I saw the starry sky that day was also in similar weather, maybe a little better than today—do you want to hear my story?”

Hearing Ender's words, Fatalia touched her smooth chin and thought for a while, then jumped off the chair, walked to Ender and sat cross-legged, nodded and replied, "I want to listen."

"Okay, then let me talk a little bit."

Ender lowered his head slightly and looked at the serious Fatalia.

"Although it is said that I am the demon king of the Cairns Empire, and perhaps the most powerful demon in the world, in fact, if we strictly divide it, I am not an orthodox demon. In essence, I may be an elemental elf and a demon. A hybrid of the undead.

"The good news is that I have combined the advantages of these races, but most of the defects have not been inherited, so I have outstanding talents, a sharper perception of dark elements, powerful death magic, and an eternal lifespan comparable to elemental life .

"At the beginning of my birth, I woke up in a cave. The place was dark. When I first opened my eyes, there were only endless skeletons around. The place seemed to be a garbage pit used by a certain ethnic group to throw away corpses, but it was abandoned. , and I am in the center of this endless skeleton.

"The breath of death in that place is very strong, and it is also filled with a lot of dark elements. This seems to be one of the reasons for my birth. All in all, I spent the beginning of my birth there by constantly devouring those bones and dark energy. weakest stage.

"After that, I wandered around in that cave, aimlessly. After all, I didn't have much knowledge at that time. I was just a newborn child, and I survived in the cave by instinct, which is better than those brainless people. Subterranean worms are not much stronger.

"Because of the lack of reference objects and related knowledge, I don't know how long I have been wandering there, maybe a few years, maybe hundreds of years? It is impossible to know, but as time goes by, I become more and more It became stronger and stronger, and gradually reached the level of the sixth level without systematic cultivation and consciousness, but it was still stupid and ignorant.

"That cave is too big, it's like a huge underground labyrinth. In fact, it is indeed called that. The Great Underground Labyrinth of Abriel is the most dangerous place in the entire Demon Island, probably because In this way, I have been wandering there for so long and have not been able to come out.

"The change came after that.

"On a certain day, I met a team composed of different races, because I have never seen a similar existence in such a long time, so I observed it carefully, and I watched the adventurers of different races interact with each other. Collaborate, and communicate in a language I didn't understand at the time. Thinking about it now, they are probably prisoners exiled into the Great Labyrinth.

"Their average strength is only around the fourth level, far weaker than mine, so after losing patience, I easily killed them and ate them all, but after passing them, I don't care about similar things. It doesn't look like the creatures that would be born in the Great Labyrinth itself have left an extra heart.

"It's been another period of time, and I probably saw three similar teams back and forth, and finally I found the place where they came in, which is the entrance of the Great Labyrinth, and I can finally go out.

"It happened to be midnight that day, and the weather was fine. I saw light at the entrance of the cave. I have never seen such a bright and pure light. This is different from those guys in the Great Labyrinth who rely on light to lure others. It is another thing. So I was attracted and walked out of the cave.

"What is displayed in front of my eyes is such a starry sky! No, it is much brighter than this."

Speaking of Ende raised his hand, raised his head and pointed to the ceiling, Fatalia had never felt such strong emotional fluctuations in him, his tone was a little trembling, "You can't imagine how shocked I was at the beginning, how much the scenery was Beautiful, so since that day, I have always wanted to touch those stars with my own hands.

"After that, my mind finally started to work, I started to study, I started to develop my power, I wanted to fly to the sky, but my talent was not enough, with my talent, reaching the ninth level is already the limit , the realm after that is out of reach, and the ninth level is far from what I expected.

"Fortunately, the abyss favored me, and I sacrificed my eternal lifespan, leaving only 700 years in exchange for a possibility, the possibility of climbing to a higher position and reaching the stars.

"I successfully advanced to the twelfth level, which is already the limit of mortals, but at that time I realized that the power of the twelfth level is still far from enough, and I can get rid of this planet with my powerful magic power Gravity, but it is not enough to carry me to any star that shines in the distance.

"So, I started the war, I want to conquer everything on this land, I want to build a unified country, I want to use all the resources and manpower for me, I want to use everything on this planet to push I go to that starry sky!

"Fatalia, this is my wish, and it has never changed from beginning to end."

Fatalia was already dumbfounded at this time. She opened her mouth, but she racked her brains and couldn't find any words that could be said in this situation. Seeing this, Ender didn't say anything, but gently With a snap of their fingers, a magic circle appeared under them, and the next moment, the slightly cold evening wind blew on Fatalia's face.

Ender used teleportation magic to take the two directly to the sky.

In just a split second, gravity captured Fatalia. She exclaimed and was about to fall. Fortunately, Ender reached out and hugged her in time, "Fatalia, look up."

After the initial panic, Fatalia realized what Ender was saying, so she raised her head and looked towards the sky.

It was already late at night, the moonlight was fading, and beside the double moon was a dark night, dotted with shining stars on the night, like gems shining in the endless deep sea, and like neon lights shining on the black curtain. The rainbow splashes finely shimmering dots of light in a dark sky, each of which forms a group and shines brightly.

Fatalia's eyes widened instantly.

It was the first time her heart beat so violently.

Now, Fatalia understood what the starry sky that those poets were feeling was like. She had never seen such bright stars on Earth.

She subconsciously reached out to catch the stars that seemed to be twinkling in front of her eyes. This time, there was no zoomed-in perspective and no footnotes, but what she got was just the evening wind, and she couldn't get close to those beautiful light spots.

"It's beautiful."

She couldn't help whispering that Ender was also looking up at the starry sky at this time.

"Yeah, it's beautiful."

(Chapter 2, longer than usual)

Chapter 37 Fatalia: My blood pressure is high

"Miss Fatalia, Miss Fatalia, it's time."

Hearing the voice of the maid at the door, Fatalia pushed her glasses belatedly, then stretched her waist with great effort, rubbed her eyes and said, "Is it so fast?"

The maid replied: "Actually, Miss Fatalia, you have been sitting here for more than five hours."

"Really? The time passed really quickly."

Fatalia looked at the books on the table in surprise, then took off her glasses and put them on the table, beckoning to Favna, "Favna, help me get the dress."

"Yes, Master."

Favna bowed slightly, then turned around and took out Fatalia's dress from nowhere and put it on the bed. dress.

After changing clothes, Fatalia straightened her collar and said to Favna, "You have become more and more proficient at helping me change clothes recently."

Favna still had that inorganic expression, "This is my job, master."

"Well, since you say so."

Fatalia didn't care either, she turned her head to look at the glasses on the table and the big black book thicker than a dictionary, she put on her glasses after thinking for a while, and hugged the book by the way, "Okay, let's go, Favna."

Not long after going out, Fatalia saw Ender who was sitting by the side waiting, and Ender also found Fatalia, and then looked at the big book in Fatalia's arms, a little surprised, "Fata Leah, is this?"

Fatalia shrugged, "I'm planning to work harder, but is it impolite to read a book at a banquet?"

"You are the princess of the empire, no one will say that you are rude, but..."

Ender opened his mouth slightly, hesitated for a moment before speaking with some doubts, "What do you mean by trying harder? Didn't you work hard enough before?"

One must know that the appearance of Fatalia pestering several teachers for extra classes all day long was enough to make many immortals feel ashamed, but now Fatalia actually said that she has to work harder?

To be honest, Ender was a little worried that Fatalia would exhaust himself to death.
