Chapter 57 The speed of my betrayal is beyond imagination.
Demons are the most notorious race in this world, but when Sirius traveled through time, their demon king had been dead for many years. The remaining demons also disappeared.
This plot was originally intended to be developed later as foreshadowing, but it was obvious that Sirius had not written about this aspect before he traveled through time.
But this is not the reason why your marginal supporting character suddenly falsely accuses himself of being a demon and forcibly brings out this setting!
"I really don't understand what you mean."
Jim looked at Sirius's plain face and pretended to be indifferent.
He was very scared in his heart, but after all, he was once one of the geniuses of the Magic Association, and he still had some confidence to stand in front of Sirius.
The fireball just now was just the simplest test, but this test directly made him feel desperate.
He would rather have Sirius dodge and then rush over and break his own neck. After all, his future end will not be very good now that the eldest prince no longer trusts him.
But the opponent did not use the terrifying movement skills he had just shown in the battle with Nalia. Instead, he used a non-singing method to condense a water ball in desperation to block his attack.
"..."
Jim sighed helplessly. Many thoughts had flashed through his heart, and many paths he could choose.
But in the end, looking at the mysterious "Siris", he chose the craziest path - he wanted to surrender to the demons.
The demons' talent for magic is beyond human imagination. If it weren't for the brave men blessed by the God of Light holding the elves' sword of destruction, how could humans be the opponents of these demons?
For them who have also devoted their lives to magic, the talent of the demons is a huge temptation, and there are indeed many traitors to human magicians in the Demon King's army. He is by no means the first, nor will he be the last.
In addition, the eldest prince would definitely not treat him as a confidant in the future. The seeds of doubt had been planted and he had no way to eliminate them. Now he could only be forced by Sirius to embark on a path of no return.
As expected of a demon clan that is good at playing with people's hearts and causing human beings to divide themselves...
It is easy to make him want to take refuge. If he takes the initiative to seduce himself, I am afraid that he has completely lost himself and become a slave of pure magic.
But naturally he couldn't directly state his intention to join the demon clan. He had to show his own value and then let Sirius come up with the words to tempt him to join the demon clan.
He wanted to feel the feeling of being knocked unconscious by "money".
"I have no evidence, so I can't expose your true face. Even now I have no way to stop your conspiracy. The eldest prince has doubted me now, and I don't even have the qualification to continue to work around him.
I know you already know it. In order to seize the throne, Engli will do whatever it takes to kill his own mother. I also know that you understand that after you resurrected the empress, we can't attack you for the time being. You can even choose to believe that the second prince is innocent, Nalia. You continue to hide your true purpose over there...
I can't stop you, but I will never be afraid of you. As an elite among human magicians, I will never betray my compatriots for a little profit!" Look
! It seemed like he was showing weakness, he seemed like he was determined, but in fact, what Jim said were all secrets that he thought Sirius wanted to know.
He even hinted in his words that he had been abandoned by the eldest prince and that he would have no platform to display his abilities in the future. He hints that he can't be moved by even a small benefit, but if you give him more benefits, he will definitely betray the existence of his teammates without mercy.
The whole sentence was spoken with a sonorous and powerful tone. It seemed that he was a great man who would never bow to the demons for the sake of his fellow humans, but in fact he had taken the initiative to expose all his weaknesses.
"Whatever you think, but I'm really just an ordinary person. I didn't lie to you, and I don't have to lie to you." "...
I understand."
He looked as if he understood something, and then expressed a full expression. It was Sad Jim, and Sirius felt like he really couldn't explain it. "In that case... Sir Sirius, His Royal Highness the First Prince would like you to go to the Council Hall."
Knowing that Sirius's purpose may be to continue to hide his identity, Jim could only restore his previous title and pretend to He looked like his strength did not allow him to resist and he was forced to surrender in front of Sirius.
After speaking, he took the initiative to chant a spell and condensed the flames, melting away the ridiculous shackles on Sirius' hands.
But at the same time, Jim was still very happy. At least Sirius in front of him chose to continue to play deaf and dumb with him, pretending that he had not heard everything he just said about Sirius's identity as a demon, and did not even get angry and kill him on the spot.
All these proved that his words had some effect, and he might have the value of surviving in Sirius's eyes.
Continue to convince the eldest prince who does not trust him, and then be loyal to him, and fight against the terrifying demons in an era when the brave is dead?
Jim felt that this idea was ridiculous to the extreme, a stupid choice that only a fool would pursue.
Sirius just followed Jim, who was thinking about how to betray humans and join the demon clan, out of this "prison" that was not a prison, and then came to the council hall where many palace ministers and noble representatives were already present.
The appearance here was no different from when he was kneeling in front of the empress to be punished. Perhaps the biggest difference was that there were many more people present today.
He didn't know what the eldest prince wanted to announce when he called him over, and he didn't know what Empress Skylar was thinking when she was weakly leaning on her seat at the moment. He only knew that as he walked in from just now, Engel Both Li and Nalia cast strange looks at him.
Engri mainly doubted whether Jim beside Sirius had betrayed him long ago.
Nalia, on the other hand, was trying to match Sirius' figure with the "reflection" of herself in her vague memory. At the same time, she became increasingly curious about this invisible boy.
However, none of the three people actually knew that this coronation ceremony was about to become a farce, a farce that could not be dealt with.
"It seems that everyone is here."
Engli nodded in the direction of Sirius in a pretentious manner, and then announced what he was going to say today.
But strictly speaking, he was only responsible for the beginning, and the rest of the words were spoken by Skylar, who was a little weak next to him.
"I know... I can't live much longer."
Skylar looked at these familiar faces below, with some relief in her eyes.
She felt as if she had already experienced death in a dream. At this moment, she was no longer afraid of the eternal darkness. She could calmly let go of everything in the empire and watch her three grown children say her last words. Last words.
"So before I die, I declare that I will hand over the throne of the Xilin Empire to Engri to inherit."
As soon as these words came out, Sirius's eyes did not change much. After all, he was not interested in the throne from the beginning to the end. . His goal from the beginning to the end is to improve his strength, and then try to survive and enjoy life in another world.
But Nalia on the side showed a look of disbelief. After all, she really couldn't accept such a ridiculous result.
Jim, who had been observing the expressions of the two men on the other side, nodded secretly, and couldn't help but admire his decision.
He is indeed a demon who has been patient for many years before deciding to make some big moves. Look at his layout and acting skills!
