Chapter 2721
And it was the annual drama of [The Return of the Demon King]!
…
[Pope] Sis Saint Patricius was completely stunned when he heard the news in the report.
He personally presided over the [Demon King Execution Ceremony].
He also personally sent the soul of [The Third Demon King] to the underworld.
He was not stunned because [The Third Demon King] could return to the world from the underworld.
After all, it is now that era, that era where it is not impossible for the underworld to merge with the world tomorrow.
So even if [The Third Demon King] really returns to the world, he will not be particularly surprised.
But the problem is that it is just a soul that was born from the empty shell of the Demon King's body!
How could such a soul have the memory of [The Demon King] himself?
His Holiness the Pope did not believe it at first.
But after watching the projection of [The Return of the Demon King from the Underworld], he had to believe it.
Because he was the one who "saw the underworld with his own eyes".
...
The so-called "nine parts true, one part false".
Almost all the information shown in that projection is true!
The more people know about the information presented in the projection, the more they will think it is true.
Therefore, when the public opinion outside was still arguing about whether the projection was true or false, His Holiness the Pope had already confirmed its authenticity.
So he immediately called Archbishop Caleb Norris.
The birth of the [Third Demon King] is a truth that must not be revealed for the Holy Church.
Therefore, even if they bite to death, they must never admit that [The Return of the Demon King] is true.
Pope Sis's meaning is very clear, even if it is a real demon king, it must be beaten to a fake!
...
"But the truth cannot be concealed!"
In the palace, King Austin Clarissa looked at the newspaper with a solemn face.
Of course, he did not get the news from today's newspaper.
In fact, when the first projection of [The Return of the Demon King from the Underworld] was presented in front of him, he confirmed the authenticity of the projection.
The reason is simple.
He is also a person who "saw the underworld with his own eyes"!
…
Humans are always used to being deceived by their own eyes.
Neither the Pope nor the King escaped this rule.
Although [The Return of the Demon King] is indeed true, the projection is actually false.
However, what St. Marian College wanted to convey has obviously been conveyed.
The reaction of Pope Sith is slightly different.
King Austin is obviously more afraid of the Demon King than His Holiness the Pope.
This has a lot to do with the fact that he himself does not have the strength to compete with the Demon King.
Therefore, when he understood the truth of [The Return of the Demon King], he immediately put aside many things he was planning and shifted his focus to the "hunt" of the Demon King.
His reaction was greater than that of the Pope.
QQuN:⑧⑸ˉ7=⑥ˇ∽六三㈣㈣二 He even forgot to appease the people.
It was not until the next day, after public opinion was rampant, that he suddenly woke up and hurriedly began to "maintain stability".
Why maintain stability?
Naturally, it is to cooperate with the Holy Church and deny the authenticity of the projection.
Because the matter is of great importance at this time, His Majesty the King entrusted this task to the "idle" eldest prince Charles.
Moreover, he also transferred Noah Sharp, one of the twelve heroes, who he valued, to Charles' side.
In this way, even if Charles is useless, he will not mess up this mission.
As for the "search and arrest" task outside of maintaining stability, it is naturally handed over to other confidants.
After all, that is the truly important task.
...
And at this turbulent moment, the Duke's Mansion was also not idle.
Principal Arte consulted with Yalvette.
So the Duke's Mansion was not affected by public opinion from the beginning.
They avoided talking about whether the Demon King returned, but in terms of action, they were consistent with the Holy Church and the royal family, and immediately launched a search for the [Third Demon King].
After the war, the three forces rarely reached a high degree of consensus on a certain thing.
With these three major forces as "role models", the other major and minor forces also naturally started to move.
They may not be able to tell whether the projection is true or false.
But they can read the wind direction of the capital.
The three largest forces in the entire kingdom moved at the same time. Even if they were hidden in the dark, they could not hide the truth.
It didn't take long at all.
Those major and minor forces confirmed the truth of the facts through the movements of the three forces.
...
So.
Those remnants of the demon clan who hid in the kingdom for various reasons were instantly annihilated.
War is cruel, especially the war between different races.
"If the demon king cannot be found, all demons will be destroyed."
This is a sentence that often appeared in the mouths of human generals before the end of the war.
The reason is that the [Immortal Demon King] can use the demon container to be reborn.
And humans have almost achieved the extinction of the demon clan.
But later, due to various reasons, they were unable to continue.
In addition to the fact that the demons were broken up into small groups and were more difficult to find, there was also pressure from public opinion within the human race.
Finally, considering that the demons had lost their threat and the cost of continuing to implement the extermination strategy was too high, this strategy was temporarily suspended, giving the demons a glimmer of hope.
But with the return of the Demon King, the temporarily suspended "Demon Extermination Plan" seems to have been brought up again.
As a result, the pressure on the hidden demons suddenly deepened.
Under this pressure, some of the remaining demons must have taken risks.
Do something desperate.
So the turmoil started again.
…
…
[Good morning, give me the monthly ticket. ]
Volume 2: Chapter 1387 Chapter 1376 Dark Dimon and the Evil God (4k)
In November, the temperature dropped sharply.
The fireworks of Halloween were blown away by the cold wind of the return of the Demon King in an instant.
Button"quN：＠☆巴㈤∠←wife〖#⒍≡㈥∮? Reference④④児 The newspapers with densely printed words flew higher and higher in the increasingly noisy wind.
The news of [The Demon King Returns from the Underworld] spread all over the capital like water.
The increasingly prosperous streets suddenly became bleak.
Even the people who had to go out for work all stood up their collars, wore hats, and hid their cheeks in high collars and scarves.
But there was no martial law in the capital.
Officials did not come out to declare whether the information about [The Demon King Returns from the Underworld] was true or false.
The more the people needed an attitude, the more the officials could not give this attitude.
The place where you really show your skills will never be in the open.
A large number of newspapers reported at the same time on Monday morning Such an incident, but the core reason for letting it be reported is that those crystal balls have been distributed everywhere.
Because public opinion can no longer be controlled, it is better to concentrate public opinion and detonate it at once.
This makes it easier to control the direction of public opinion.
As long as the authorities can withstand the initial wave of public opinion, they only need to continue to play dead, and the impact of this incident will naturally be reduced to an acceptable level.
After all, people need to make money and live, and it is impossible to lock themselves in the room all day because of something that has not happened yet.
As time goes by, when life gradually returns to normal, and there is still no further news from the [Demon King], those "true and false" remarks will naturally lose their meaning.
Of course.
All this is based on the premise that, They can catch the [Devil] before he appears again and make him fall into silence again!
[Pope] Sis Saint Patricius is even looking forward to a head-on confrontation with the [Devil] before he completely ages!
More than ten years ago, he might not be the opponent of the [Devil].
But today, more than ten years later, he stands on the wave of the times change, but has the confidence that he did not have at the beginning.
In fact, the "extinction of the demons" has also made a huge contribution to the rapid development of magic technology.
The wave of the times change is based on many factors.
However, even though the Holy Church's Inquisition has been fully dispatched, it still has not found any information about the [Devil] except for those projections.
...
The Holy Church is concerned about the [Immortal Demon] The research was indeed profound. As soon as they determined the "truth", they used all the methods they could to locate the location of the [Demon King].
But nothing was found.
Finally, under the situation that was really unthinkable, they could only be forced to use the most primitive method, relying on intelligence operations and manual searches to find the location of the [Demon King] inch by inch.
And it was not the only one.
The Valkyrie's forces were also using the same method to find the whereabouts of the [Third Demon King].
It was just different from the Holy Church. They clearly knew that the [Third Demon King] was reincarnated after death, so the search direction was slightly different.
But the actual effect was no different.
After all, they still used the most primitive method to search inch by inch.
But nothing was found either.
...
The entire search strategy lasted for a very long time.
The only thing that made people feel fortunate was that although they found nothing, no new news about the [Third Demon King] appeared.
Some of the news did appear, but in the end they were all proved to be false and forged.
