Lei Lei turned around, leaned his back slightly forward, and said to Ji Jinrong, "Your Majesty, the ground is too hot, come on my back, and I will carry you."
Ji Jinrong was about to step forward when he felt a familiar roar coming from behind. Looking back, it was Douglas riding a griffin, only Douglas and no one else!
Douglas looked at Lei Lei, his knees were burning red, his back was sweating profusely from the heat, but he kept his half-kneeling posture motionless.
Douglas looked at Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong said, "Leiler, get up."
Lei Lei seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He stood up, unaware that his skin was scalded by the scalding ground, he only felt that his whole heart fell into the magma and was instantly burned to ashes.
This guy came, this guy came again.
This guy always arrives in time and snatches Ji Jinrong away completely. Lei Lei thought about monopolizing the "heart" of the Black Demon Temple, taking away Ji Jinrong's position as the Demon Lord, as the previous Demon Lord said, and becoming an existence that could command the Demon Race—but in that case, Ji Jinrong would definitely be sad.
Lei Lei walked over step by step, walked behind Ji Jinrong, stood there and raised his head to meet Douglas' vigilant gaze.
He has a way to kill this guy, but he can't do it.
Lei Lei looked at Ji Jinrong's smooth back neck.
Ji Jinrong was so close to him that he could hug him as soon as he stretched out his arms, just like how Ji Jinrong could reach out to hold him in his arms back then. At that time, Ji Jinrong was sick and smelled of medicine, which was not bad, but it made him want to cry.
At that time, he thought that if he became more powerful and more favored, he could find a better imperial doctor for Ji Jinrong and make Ji Jinrong recover from his illness.
It's just that he was too aggressive and showed his sharpness too early, which cost him his life early.
Lei Lei's heart, which was almost burnt to ashes, gradually calmed down. He is no longer the naive boy he was back then, and he is no longer the "magic cultivator" controlled by obsession in the previous world. He is now Ji Jinrong's subordinate, and he will always have a place by Ji Jinrong's side.
Ji Jinrong said that he would take him with him wherever he went in the future.
Such a promise moved his heart more than any temptation from the previous Demon Lord.
Lei Lei stood behind Ji Jinrong without saying a word.
Douglas was annoyed. When he saw Lei Lei for the first time, he could feel this guy's hostility towards him.
This hostility stems from Lei Lei's special feelings for Ji Jinrong.
If Leile was just an ordinary subordinate, Douglas would naturally not be angry about this kind of thing.
But this guy looks like he has bad intentions!
However, this person has a very different weight in Ji Jinrong's heart. Even if this guy has an affair with the former devil, Ji Jinrong still dares to come into contact with Lei Lei alone.
Douglas pursed his lips into a straight line, with obvious sullenness.
Ji Jinrong likes to see Douglas like this the most, it's so funny to be seriously angry or something. He said to Major, "You lead the way, and Douglas and I follow."
Lei Lei looked at Ji Jinrong with his blue eyes.
When they met again in this kind of place, Ji Jinrong didn't ask him a word, as if it was perfectly normal for him to appear here.
No questioning, no doubt, no distrust.
It seemed that Ji Jinrong had arranged his contact with the former Demon Lord himself.
Lei Lei didn't say a word, turned around and slid between the lava.
Using both hands and feet, Ji Jinrong climbed onto the back of the griffin. The griffin was not afraid of the hot lava at all, and flew forward with Ji Jinrong and Douglas on its back.
As soon as Ji Jinrong sat down, Douglas' hand passed through his waist and firmly fixed him in his arms.
Of course Ji Jinrong could feel Douglas' sullenness, but with the matter at hand, Douglas definitely had no chance to "settle accounts" with him. He turned his head and asked, "Why did you come here so soon?"
Douglas said: "I handed over the affairs of the Knights to Brown and Owen." In fact, if there were no orc army and the archers who lost their leader, the Knights of Light could actually come with him.
It's just that since the Orton Empire led the way, the Knights of Light naturally couldn't throw all the "allies" on the road.
Douglas tightened his arms, and his tone was a bit dangerous and hoarse: "Your Majesty, after everything is over, we have a lot of accounts to settle, right?"
Ji Jinrong felt that he still liked the serious Douglas.
It's a pity that the serious Douglas disappeared after discovering that he was "playing", and was replaced by this dangerous guy in front of him! Now it seems that this guy is actually Mensao, right
Ji Jinrong hummed twice, but did not answer Douglas' question.
Douglas also knew that this was not a romantic time, so he didn't press any further. He glanced at Lei Lei, who was walking towards the depths of the secret realm. The talent of the demons was extraordinary, and they could walk on the hot lava without a mount.
Douglas ordered the griffin to follow closely.
There were not many obstacles in their way.
Douglas looked at Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong said: "I'm also the current Demon Lord after all, who would come to stop me without looking too far?"
Douglas hugged Ji Jinrong even tighter: "If I hadn't arrived, would you have emptied the Black Demon Temple first?"
Ji Jinrong's heart skipped a beat, but he said with a smile on his face: "How is it possible? I really want to destroy it completely." Replenishing energy for Xuanwu before destroying it should not count as emptying the temple, right
Douglas had a full view of Ji Jinrong's little calculations.
He was relieved to see his majesty being so shameless, no matter whether he remembered the past or not, his majesty would not be at a disadvantage. Thinking of Ji Jinrong's careful planning over the past ten years, Douglas tightened his arms: "Your Majesty, I always feel that there are still some things I haven't remembered."
Ji Jinrong asked calmly, "What else?"
Seeing Ji Jinrong's expression of no guilt, Douglas suspected that he had guessed wrong. But if Ji Jinrong really wanted to lie to him, how could he show flaws on his face? Douglas said: "I was kidnapped by the demons when I was a child. At that time, Your Majesty, you should still be in the territory of the demons, right?"
Douglas had a strong feeling that they had met at that time. No, not only met, there may be more contact, otherwise he would not have been single-minded in trying to wipe out the demon territory and destroy the Black Demon Temple in the past ten years—as if completely turning the demon territory over, It's like you can find something.
Perhaps what he subconsciously wanted to find was his cunning and hateful Majesty.
Douglas looked at Ji Jinrong fixedly.
Ji Jinrong said: "Of course, I was quite young at that time." The previous demon king was not dead yet, and the demon territory was still full of dangers. the price—
There is no need to talk to Douglas about these things.
Ji Jinrong smiled and narrowed his eyes: "What? Do you think we met at that time? How could it be possible? You were a prisoner at that time, and I, the only nephew of the Demon Lord, is the most likely to inherit the position of the Demon Lord in the future. 'Candidate'—you've never had a chance to meet me!"
Douglas doesn't believe a word of Ji Jinrong's nonsense now.
Douglas said: "Then let me put my words first, if you lie to me again, I will strip you naked and hang you up, and give you a hundred and eighty lashes!"
Ji Jinrong: "..."
Can this guy think of individual threats!
Ji Jinrong said: "I always feel like you have been doing this for a long time..."
Douglas said, "Of course." He didn't hide anything, "I wanted to do that when you came to pester me shamelessly, and I wanted to do that when Lehrer said you were 'playing' and you didn't contradict it, knowing you were I want to do this after concealing my demon identity and coming to me—”
Ji Jinrong felt that his whole body was not well.
Douglas went on: "I want to do it when I see the letter you left when you slipped away, and I want to do it even more when I think about what happened between us and you don't say anything about it—"
Ji Jinrong: "...you just say you want to do this every day and that's it!"
Douglas said: "Yes, I want to do this every day, Your Majesty, you always make me gnash my teeth like this and wish I could strip you naked every day." He hugged Ji Jinrong even tighter, "But, every time I see Your Majesty, I will And I can't bear it."
Isn't it just reluctant
I don't want him to be hurt, I don't want him to be sad, I don't want him to be wronged. No matter what happens, he is absolutely unwilling to be the one who hurts His Majesty.
Douglas sighed and complained: "So, Your Majesty, how can you have the heart to lie to me? Does Your Majesty have the heart to bully me, who is helpless?"
Ji Jinrong: "..."
Therefore, it is not fun for Douglas to think of everything, it reminds him of the fact that he was led by this guy everywhere in the previous few worlds. For example, when this guy appeared as "Feng Su", he likes to use the current trick the most, relying on his good looks, relying on his liking for him, deliberately saying such grievances to arouse his guilt—
Once he stepped into the trap hidden in these words, what he would face would be endless land cession and compensation!
Ji Jinrong decided to firmly ignore this brazen fellow.
In fact, he had to ignore it, because they had already reached the top of the "Molten Waterfall", and further ahead was the "Flying Waterfall".
A steaming lava waterfall.
Lei Lei had the strong body of a demon. If it was a different person standing in this kind of place, he would have been burned to ashes long ago, but Lei Lei was fine. He turned around and said to Ji Jinrong: "Your Majesty, that guy said 'the heart of the temple is hidden in the flames'. I'll go down to find the way first, and you can wait here for my return."
Ji Jinrong slipped from the back of the griffin and fell to the ground.
He walked to the edge of the "magma waterfall" and signaled Lei Lei to step back.
Lei Lei became anxious and shouted: "Your Majesty!"
Ji Jinrong smiled at Leile, signaling Leile to be safe and not to be impatient. He said to the boundless abyss filled with molten lava, "Come out, uncle."
A demon figure slowly emerged from the lava.
The surrounding lava continuously gathered around him.
Douglas stepped forward and stood beside Ji Jinrong in a defensive posture.
The demon figure laughed and said, "This kid is still so stupid, he thinks you need to be protected."
Ji Jinrong said, "Of course I need protection. I'm a mage, and I'm very delicate."
Douglas looked at Ji Jinrong.
The meaning in that look is "I'll settle the score with you later".
Ji Jinrong touched his nose.
Obviously, his uncle's first sentence sold him!
What is "still"? Didn't Douglas stand in front of him like this before
Ji Jinrong was a little guilty, and instead of looking at Douglas, he stared fixedly at the figure of the "former devil". He said, "Uncle, you don't have to do this."
The "former demon king" said: "Is it so difficult to do it? The reason why you can't perceive the location of the temple is because you can't bear it at all—after listening to the sermon and killing so many people, don't you regret it at all?" My own 'can't bear'?"
Douglas couldn't understand why.
Ji Jinrong said: "If they don't have evil thoughts in their hearts, it's impossible to instigate them to do anything with the little power left by my uncle." Instead of letting Douglas protect him, he took a few steps forward, "Uncle, I don't want to Inherit the temple."
"The former demon king" sneered and said: "Of course you don't want to inherit it, you just want to destroy it. You want to destroy it and become an ordinary person, with that silly boy next to you. Gary, why are you so naive? You Do you think they can really accept your identity as a demon?"
Ji Jinrong smiled and said, "Of course." He looked serious, "Whether you can be accepted depends on your own vision and hard work."
The conversation between Ji Jinrong and the former Demon Lord confused Douglas.
It sounds like the relationship between Ji Jinrong and the former Demon Lord is not as bad as rumored.
On the contrary, they are like the most common pair of uncles and nephews in the world. The uncle always wants to teach his nephew something, but the nephew always doesn't want to listen to his uncle's teachings.
Was the civil strife in the demon clan really because Ji Jinrong killed the previous demon king
Ji Jinrong spoke again: "Uncle, don't you want to become an ordinary person?"
The former demon lord said categorically: "I don't want to." He continued to devour the surrounding lava, and his stature grew stronger and stronger, "I was born as a demon, with a longer lifespan and stronger power than humans, why should I become a demon?" Human? Do you think I will be as stupid as you to believe what humans say? They say they like it, but they say they don’t care. Once something happens, you are the first to doubt it!"
Ji Jinrong said: "It seems that we all think that the other party is stubborn and stupid."
The former demon lord laughed, as if waves of heat swept towards Ji Jinrong and the three of them in the air, almost engulfing them.
The voice of the former demon king was a bit crazy: "If I want to kill the human being next to you, will you kill me?"
Ji Jinrong said: "I am a selfish person." Compared to "uncle" who has only been in love for a few years, he would naturally choose Douglas.
The former devil said: "So, how can you trust such things as feelings? Even if a person's feelings for you are true, there will be someone who is more important to him to replace you." His voice is still cold, " So come on, only by killing the previous Demon Lord with your own hands, can you truly inherit the position of the Demon Lord, inherit the Dark Demon Temple, and gain the power you dream of—since you have already made your choice, why don’t you do it?”
Ji Jinrong said: "I won't do anything. Your thoughts are too extreme, uncle. As long as you don't hurt the people around me, can't I not make a choice?"
The former Demon Lord sneered and said, "What if I don't want to do this?"
Just when he was about to order the magma to flow in the direction of Douglas, the sky of the secret realm was torn apart again, and an old man with a gray beard came riding a blaze. This old man is a mage, and he is extremely thin. His eyes were full of sadness, and he opened his mouth to call out a name: "Carlos."
The former Demon Lord was shocked.
He fixedly looked at the person coming.
The old man shouted again: "Carlos." His gaze was fixed with that of the previous Demon Lord, "It's been decades, you can't recognize me anymore—I'm old."
The former Demon Lord said, "What are you doing here?"
The old man said: "I owe you an apology." His voice was heavy and sad, "It was not you who brought the demons back then, but a traitor from our Quicksand City."
The former Demon Lord let out an "oh" and said, "So what?"
The old man said: "I know you don't believe it, but I have regretted it all the time for decades." He looked at the former demon king, "I always wanted to find you, but you didn't want to see me. Fifteen years ago, I heard Saying that you were killed by your nephew, I can't believe it—Carlos, I can't believe you were killed by your own nephew. You told me that your brother, whom you admire most, will take care of his nephew Bring him up and return him the position of Demon Lord—you are so kind to your nephew, he will definitely not want to kill you."
The former demon king said: "Do you also believe what the demons say?"
The old man said, "If what you say is not true, why do you keep forcing Gary to kill you?"
Both Douglas and Lei Lei looked at Ji Jinrong in surprise.
Ji Jinrong didn't explain to them immediately.
In fact, there is nothing to explain. It was Lei Lei who wanted to protect him who "killed" the former Demon Lord. But Ji Jinrong has always known that his uncle is begging for death. His uncle longs for affection and trust, but he hates his longing and wants to be relieved in death.
And the biggest knot in his heart as an uncle is the friendship and severance of friendship with the lord of Quicksand City back then.
The feelings of youth are the most sincere and extreme.
At the beginning, I expected so much and liked it, but later I hated and resented it.
Ji Jinrong said: "Uncle, let everything end." He also hated this cheap uncle who pushed him everywhere at first, but later he gradually understood this cheap uncle's desire to die. Ji Jinrong looked at the former demon king, "Destroy the temple and become an ordinary person, everything will be fine."
The old man didn't speak any more, just quietly looked at his former best friend.
Silence spread in the secret realm.
In the 338th year of the Orton calendar, no one knew what happened to the demon territory, and no one knew whether the Black Demon Temple was destroyed or not.
Everyone only knew that the cheers of the half-orcs resounded through the sky, celebrating that they finally took revenge and completely wiped out the demons.
Douglas was triumphant as usual.
All the members of the Dark Night Adventure Team returned with him, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory. Yes, they won, and as heroes, they happily accepted everyone's admiration and congratulations.
Douglas takes "Amazing Gary" back to meet his parents.
Both Duke Freeman (Douglas' father) and his wife (Douglas' mother) were very satisfied with "Gary" and decided to let the two "heroes" complete their wedding as soon as possible.
On the wedding day, many important people were present one by one. Surprisingly, the lord of Quicksand City, who has not appeared in public for a long time, appeared together with "Gary"'s uncle.
After receiving these two important guests, His Highness the Third Prince whispered to Ji Jinrong: "Why is your uncle so old?"
Ji Jinrong said nonsense: "Probably because I was born relatively late."
His Royal Highness the Third Prince didn't ask any more questions, and continued to warmly greet the guests for Ji Jinrong.
After a busy day, they finally had time to be alone.
After the door closed, Douglas said, "Having a wedding is more tiring than fighting a war."
Ji Jinrong smiled: "If you don't like it, I won't do it in the future." Every world accepts other people's blessings like this, it seems a bit shameless!
When Douglas heard Ji Jinrong say "later", his chest felt slightly hot. But while he was happy, he felt a little uncomfortable: "Do I have to keep forgetting you like this?"
Ji Jinrong said: "When we have enough bargaining chips, we can negotiate with the 'Master Brain'." With the help of Uncle Cheap, the Black Demon Temple was emptied. question. He put his arms around Douglas' neck. "Anyway, forget it or not, I'll find you soon—and you'll find me soon."
Douglas said, "You really have faith in yourself."
Ji Jinrong's eyes brightened: "Of course." He kissed Douglas, "Isn't it?"
Douglas said: "Yes, I admit it, forget you or not, I will love you at once - no matter what happens, my soul is yours."
Ji Jinrong hugged Douglas' neck tightly.
Douglas said, "So, on this great day, shall we not be able to do the reckoning?"
Ji Jinrong's heart skipped a beat.
He watched Douglas warily.
Douglas kissed him superficially on his lips, and his face became serious: "I must have forgotten something? What happened when I was taken away by the demons?"
Although Ji Jinrong didn't want to bring up the past, after meeting Douglas' eyes, he still said honestly: "Back then, Pangpang had already determined that you were a rock."
It's not something that can't be mentioned.
Knowing that Douglas was so close to him, Ji Jinrong quickly brought him to his side. At that time, Douglas was still young, and he was not as difficult to fool as he was when he grew up. It didn't take long for Douglas to become his inseparable "follower". The demon territory was full of dangers, but they didn't care at all.
He thought he would go on smoothly in this world, but he didn't expect that his cheap uncle hated humans and was afraid that he would stumble on humans, so he wanted to kill Douglas.
Meanwhile, Douglas' parents arrive.
Ji Jinrong was shaken by the eagerness, sadness and longing on their faces.
He realizes that his happy days these days are based on the pain of Douglas' parents losing their son.
Ji Jinrong thought of Wei Tingjun who left home because of him.
He has caused Wei Tingjun to lose the opportunity to be with his family, and he does not want Douglas to suffer the same thing again.
So he returned Douglas to his parents.
At that time, Douglas had sworn allegiance to him, and he definitely didn't want to go alone. His cheap uncle didn't want Douglas to stay with him anymore, so he personally negotiated with Douglas' parents and let Douglas' parents take away Douglas whose entire memory was erased.
Douglas knew what happened afterwards.
Douglas quietly listened to Ji Jinrong's words, feeling a faint throbbing pain in his heart.
His Majesty was always like this, always thinking of others first.
In order not to let his parents lose their son, His Majesty let go for more than ten years.
For his majesty, this choice means that he has to face many dangers alone in the past ten years.
In this strange world, his majesty has nothing.
Douglas embraced Ji Jinrong forcefully: "Your Majesty, I would rather be the one who bears everything."
Ji Jinrong hugged Douglas back and sealed his lips: "You have already endured it."
In the countless worlds where he has not yet been "resurrected", Wei Tingjun has traveled alone for countless years - he did not hesitate to stain his hands with blood and fight against the heavens, just to give him a glimmer of life.
He couldn't understand this kind of emotion before, but after experiencing several worlds, he gradually understood-when you love someone, no matter whether he is around or not, whether he has memories of each other, as long as you think about the future It will be a joy to be together again.
I don't feel hard at all about the long road ahead.
Because I firmly believe that the end of the road must be endless sweetness.
Ji Jinrong straddled Douglas, with joy in his brows and eyes: "When everything is arranged, let's go find the dragon together."
Douglas said: "Okay." He kissed Ji Jinrong's tender lips, "But before that, let's enjoy our wedding night first."
Sensing the obvious changes in "Little Douglas", Ji Jinrong opened his eyes wide.
He wanted to say something, but was completely suppressed by Douglas, and all words were blocked in his lips.
In this world, his Majesty has been taking the initiative for so long, no matter what, it is his turn to take the initiative.
Thinking of this, Douglas started their wonderful wedding night positively and enthusiastically.
The author has something to say:
[Conquer the Knight of Light·End]
Your Majesty: I love you so much!
Knight Commander: I love you too!
Lei Lei: ...
Knights: oh my dog eye!
