Chapter 189 Key

"Ah, I'm not used to the absence of those two guys who jumped so happily."

"Fortunately, those two guys are dead now."

"But why? I've gotten rid of two of my biggest worries, but I feel even more uneasy."

"What did I overlook?"

On the throne, Gutaf scanned the empty palace, looking for the source of the uneasiness.

As an ancestor demon, especially an ancestor demon who mastered the "King's Game", the uneasiness in his heart was definitely not an illusion, and there must be a source.

But Gutaf examined it for a long time and still couldn't confirm which stone pillar made him feel uneasy.

"Could it be that the threat does not come from the current players?"

"But from outside the game?"

Finally, Gutaf left the throne and walked towards the palace gate.

······

"Boom!"

The palace's closed gate was slowly opened by Gutaf.

This door has been closed all the time, and no apostle player except the king can open it.

Outside the palace is a sea of ​​black clouds.

In the black sea of ​​clouds, nine golden suns and 45 silver moons are suspended.

But there are more, thousands of stars.

They are centered around 45 silver moons and constantly rotate around nine golden suns.

The palace is located above the black sea of ​​clouds, overlooking from Gutaf's perspective.

You can see that the nine suns have divided up different numbers of moons and stars, and are rotating separately.

But their orbits are not clear-cut, but overlap from time to time.

So in the black sea of ​​clouds, stars collide with each other from time to time, bursting into brilliant fireworks.

The sparks produced by the violent collisions continue to spread to the world below, bringing light and brightness to it, eliminating the endless darkness.

······

Gutaf knows very well what the sun, moon and stars represent.

They are the source of superpowers and the manifestation of various powerful and extraordinary bloodlines.

The nine golden suns represent the nine kinds of golden bloodlines.

The 45 silver moons represent the silver bloodline.

As for the remaining thousands of stars, they are of course the black iron and bronze bloodlines.

Among the stars, the bronze bloodline occupies the vast majority, and the black iron bloodline is very few.

······

"Strange, although various superpowers are still in constant conflict, the order of the entire Dharma Realm is still generally improving."

"But why do I feel uneasy?"

"Is there something going on in the Dharma Realm?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Incredibly, the moment Gutaf looked down at the black sea of ​​clouds, he realized that the source of his uneasiness before was the entire Dharma Realm.

It was as if the entire Dharma Realm was completely out of his control, but how could this be possible?

Although Gutaf could not control the world under the black sea of ​​clouds, he controlled the foundation of the Dharma Realm.

To be more precise, it was the [King] card that could affect the running sun, moon and stars.

This is why he can seal and copy other players' superpowers.

······

It's funny to say that when he was a mortal, Gutav carefully designed the King's Game and relied on the coronation ceremony to completely bind himself to the [King].

His idea at the time was very simple. As long as the Blue Taro Kingdom did not perish and the game ran uninterrupted, he could gain eternal life.

But after the plan succeeded, especially after he became a demon.

Gutav began to resist the binding of the [King].

Because he became the original demon, he could still survive for a long time even if he was out of the King's Game.

And if he completely became the king in the "King's Game", his situation would not be very good.

Demons are hated by everyone, let alone the original demon.

When Gutav was in control of the "King's Game", he had the dual identities of GM and player.

But with the change of the game mode, his control over the game began to be lost little by little.

It is foreseeable that Gutav will sooner or later become an ordinary [King] NPC.

Because of the existence of that binding relationship, when Gutaf loses control of the game, he will become a game character that can never leave the "King's Game", [King Gutaf].

At that time, he, the original demon, will become a joke in the demon world.

A few years later, there will probably be such a record in the books of the surrounding world.

"There is an arrogant original demon who turned a small human country into an extraordinary game."

"It turned into the biggest boss in the game and sent invitations to countless heroes in the human world."

"Only by killing me and clearing the entire game can this miserable country be saved!"

"Then the human warriors rushed forward one after another, rushed up and killed this stupid demon."

"The story of the brave fighting the devil" is such a classic.

······

"As long as it is a game, there will be loopholes and it can be cleared."

"If I really become a game character, I will inevitably die."

Gutaf, who realized this, certainly did not want to end up like this in the future.

Over the years, in addition to responding to rounds of challenges from players, Gutaf has devoted almost all of his remaining energy to upgrading the [Ancestor Demon].

The Ancestral Demon's third ability gave him hope of escaping.

He planned to create a demon clone to replace himself as the King.

Then its body hid in the human [Soul Dimension Shadow]. In this way, even if there were Silver Apostles guarding it outside, he could escape without being noticed.

Yu Wenyong was originally the best candidate for the clone, but unfortunately he underestimated the demon hunter after all.

But it doesn't matter. Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom. Failure will only make it stronger now.

Gutafu received part of the demon hunter's inheritance when he was in the demon hunter Yuwen Yong.

He can completely choose a lucky person to train himself.

"Hmph, don't you guys just want to kill the demon and clear the game?"

"Then I will help you!"

Now that Gutav's injury has been stabilized, all he needs to do next is to select an apprentice and arrange an adventure so that he can obtain the inheritance of the demon hunter.

It's a pity that the current batch of apprentices who are pouring into the Blue Taro Kingdom are really poor. Even if the high-end inheritance of the demon hunter, Gutav, the ancestor demon, is taught step by step, they may not be able to master it.

Can only look forward to the next round of games!

I hope those so-called elites will not be too watery.

As for whether he can survive until the next round of the game?

What a joke, he has already removed the two thorns in his side.

What do the remaining idiots have to fear?

Originally, everything was developing as Gutav expected. Even if the 7 of Hearts would soon become an apostle, this would still not change the overall situation.

But now this feeling of uneasiness suddenly appears, something is really wrong!

Damn, what did I miss?

It's a pity that even if Gutav stared his eyes out above the sea of ​​clouds, he still couldn't see where the problem lies.

······

In the real world, in a port of Blue Taro Country.

A man shrouded in a black robe slowly boarded a cruise ship.

The reason why I use the word "slow" to describe it is because every time the man in black robe moves, he seems to be fighting against some invisible force.

His body seemed to be carrying an invisible giant mountain, and every time he took a step forward, a rupture would appear in his body.

But even though his bones were broken and his muscles were shredded, the man in black robes still continued to move forward without flinching.

There were two kinds of flames burning in his eyes.

One is called hatred and the other is called hope.

A gust of sea breeze blew by, revealing the face of the man in black robe, which had become twisted and hideous under the heavy pressure.

He is clearly one of the remaining survivors of the Carew family, Bult Carew.

······

"Phoenix, the people of the Karu family are really stubborn. He should be able to bring the core of the sacred treasure out of the Blue Taro Kingdom, right?"

Outside the coastline of Blue Taro Country, on a luxury ship.

The two old men were staring at the man in black robe who was walking hard.

If people from the other world could recognize their identities, they would definitely be shocked.

Because one of the figures turned out to be the Vice President of the Nuris Federation, Milton, who had just been promoted to controller.

The other person is Phoenix, the dean of Yanlong Curse Academy.

Yanlong Curse Academy ranks 973rd among the three thousand spell academies in the inner ring world.

As the dean, Phoenix is ​​not the strongest person in the college, but his status is extremely noble and he is definitely a big shot.

When the two of them appeared here together, something big was definitely going to happen.

······

"Don't worry, Milton. The bloodline of the Carew family has a special connection with the sacred vessel."

"I taught that little guy a secret technique that allowed him to burn half of his lifespan and completely integrate the core of the divine vessel with himself."

"As long as he can get out of the Blue Taro Country alive, then the core of the Divine Treasure can definitely be brought out."

The core of the sacred urn has a special connection with the island of Blue Taro Country. It is not that easy to take it out, especially since Blue Taro Country prohibits extraordinary people from entering, which makes it even more difficult.

But there is always a solution to everything. After all, the sacred urn has been broken for thousands of years, and its connection with the island has almost disappeared.

Although Bult Carew is only an apprentice, there is still a glimmer of possibility due to the special nature of his bloodline.

······

"I, Bult Carew, will definitely succeed!"

"Even if I burn all my life, I will succeed."

"The future of the family depends on this."

"Even if I die, the Karu family will continue and grow stronger."

Relying on the belief in his heart, Bult Carew moved forward step by step and was about to leave the island.

During the battle for the God's Shrine, Nelson Carew burned himself and successfully completed the deal with the Sun King.

Bult Karu originally thought that the Sun King would kill him sooner or later, but unexpectedly, he and the core of the God were traded to a woman.

As for what the chips of their transaction were, Bult didn't know.

Bult, who has passed down "that" secret, is not afraid of death. However, what is quite strange is that the woman actually made another deal with him.

As long as he can live to bring the core of the God out of the Blue Taro Kingdom, and volunteer to become the key.

Then each generation of the Karu family can obtain the qualification to join the Flame Dragon Curse Academy.

After hearing that he could be qualified to enter the Conjuration Academy, Bult agreed without hesitation.

He doesn't care about the price to be paid to bring out the core of the god, nor does he care about becoming the so-called "key".

The promise made by the other party was enough to make him willing to die.

The situation of the Kalu family in the other world was not getting worse, but it was also stumbling.

To be honest, even with that illusory "secret", Burt could not see any hope of the family's rise.

But if he could join the School of Spells, it would be different.

This means that as long as the talent is enough, there will be a supernatural person in every generation of the Kalu family.

And becoming a supernatural family again is the dream of all members of the Kalu family.

Nelson can burn himself for the family, and Burt can do the same.

In the end, before his heart stopped beating completely, Burt successfully left the Blue Taro Kingdom.

At that moment, Burt seemed to see the infinitely bright future of the family.

······

"Hahaha, it really succeeded."

"It's worth my big promise."

"Greed or hope can always create miracles."

Witnessing Burt leaving the Blue Taro Kingdom alive, even as the head of a school, Phoenix couldn't help laughing wildly.

If Burt saw the hope of the family's rise.

Then what Phoenix saw was that the ranking of the Yanlong Spell Academy had already entered the top 100 and was still rising rapidly.

It was a big profit for just the promise of a quota.

"Quick, send him to emergency treatment, use the best medicine."

"Don't let him die."

After checking the seal on Burt's chest and confirming that the core of the divine scroll was taken out, Phoenix's hanging heart finally fell completely.

Everything was done. With this achievement, he can definitely leave his name in the history of Yanlong Academy.

After all, the empire is generous, and all efforts will be richly rewarded.

······

"Milton, I really have to thank you this time."

"If you hadn't given this opportunity to our Flame Dragon Spell Academy, I'm afraid it would be Ibis who died this time."

"You can turn the tide and make rain. No wonder the Empire chose you to be responsible for the strategy of "King's Game"!"

Even though his own strength is more than ten times stronger than Milton, Phoenix still feels a little uneasy standing next to this guy.

It's really because Milton is too scary.

In order to achieve the goal, he can almost sacrifice and sell out everything.

The previous demon-killing war was completely dominated by him.

The four apostle players are all just pawns.

When this guy gets ruthless, he even uses Amanda as a discarded pawn.

······

"Phoenix, you don't have to thank me at all!"

"I chose to cooperate with you because you are the most suitable."

"I have been preparing for this second plan for more than ten years, and today it finally came to fruition."

"Hehe, I lost to that demon by mistake that year, which led to the Federation's power in the game being almost wiped out."

"But now, the demon's death is approaching."

"I will put the final noose on it now!"

Even though the plan has been successful, Milton's face remains calm.

This guy's mind and scheming are deeper than the sea under his feet.

Phoenix is ​​really ashamed of himself.

"Milton, I have done what I promised you."

"The next step is for you to fulfill your promise."

"Resources, inheritance, and the support of the empire are insignificant to you."

"But are you sure you can help us get the 10 places we need?"

"Once the key is used to open the realm of law, the demon can be killed by a pile of people."

"That's the viscount title of the empire, who doesn't want it?"

"You are worthy of Milton to turn the warden family of the Kalu family into the key to open the Black Death Prison!"

"It's bad luck for that demon to meet you."

······

Just a month ago, a new demon appeared in the capital.

Milton suddenly contacted Phoenix and proposed a plan that made the latter dumbfounded.

At that time, there were 4 apostles in the game. Amanda belonged to the Nulis Federation, Ibis was from the Yanlong Spell Academy, and Zhou Zongquan was another extraordinary force.

Unlike these three people, the Sun King had no power behind him at all, but his relationship with the demon was a bit unclear.

Only he survived the Seven Kings, either because he was a traitor or because he was afraid of death and gave up at the critical moment.

So although Amanda and the other two were not of the same blood, they were quite repulsive to the Sun King.

Especially Ibis, who had a great grudge against the Sun King.

But the plan proposed by Milton was to let Ibis take the initiative to ease the relationship with the Sun King and then reach a deal.

The content of the deal was naturally Burt Kalu and the core of the divine scroll.

The Sun King was skeptical about Ibis's "reconciliation" and was even quite wary.

In order to gain the trust of the Sun King, Ibis took the initiative to propose to join forces to eliminate the other two during the demon-killing war.

The Sun King naturally "didn't believe it", but he had no choice.

Because once the other three apostles joined forces, he would definitely be the first to be eliminated.

He "gambled" with doubts, and the result made him very satisfied.

The only pity was that he failed to kill Amanda.

After reaching mutual trust, Ibis took the opportunity to ask for a trade of the Divine Scroll Core.

The Sun King had no doubts about this. After all, Ibis had the School of Spells behind her, so it was normal for her to be interested in the Divine Scroll Core.

The divine talisman core was useless after he knew Gutaf's secret, so he was naturally happy to do a favor.

But the Sun King would never have thought that the one who really wanted the divine talisman core would be Milton.

It was because the latter was too cruel that he didn't tell Amanda about this drama in advance.

Ibis didn't hold back at all, and Amanda was able to survive just because of luck.

······

"Phoenix, I have never broken my promise."

"It's just that I have reserved 10 places for your School of Spells. I still have this authority."

"If you want to make a key that can open the world of law, you still need Lord Murong Yan to take action."

"In fact, the devil's luck has run out!"

"The power of the giant has completely dominated the game, and he has lost most of his control over the game."

"Lord Murong Yan imitated the cards before to practice making keys."

"Everything has been planned!"

"Now that the technology is mature and the materials are in place, I will take Burt to Lord Murong Yan!"

"Phoenix, you can prepare the manpower in advance."

After saying this, Milton took the unconscious Burt away.

Phoenix was once again shocked by Milton's cunning.

How many back-up plans did this guy prepare to kill the devil and pass the game?

You must be extremely careful when dealing with this guy in the future, otherwise Amanda is the best portrayal of this.

This guy was sold out and is still "redeeming himself"!
