At Latil’s question, the High Priest paused his coffee drinking. After a while, he seemed puzzled and asked her back.
“The resurrection method?”
He seemed rather taken aback by her bringing up the resurrection method out of the blue.
Considering the unusual nature of her question, Latil patiently explained the recent events. Of course, she omitted a few confidential details.
After Latil’s story was finished, the High Priest nodded but his response was not very helpful.
“Personally, I am interested in that subject, always searching for information. Whether it was a real event from the past, or whether it turned into legend over time like a war or plague, that’s how I’ve been approaching it.”
“And what have you found?”
“I’ve found that the dark magicians resurge every 500 years.”
Hilla Noshingwan also mentioned the 500year cycle. However, instead of admitting her knowledge, Latil nodded as if it was the first time she was hearing about it.
The following things the High Priest mentioned were not much different from what Hilla Noshingwan had said. However, there were a few additional details.
Zombies formed from corpses on contaminated land, Ghoul eating corpses, Vampires sucking blood from the living, and Dark Magicians who were human but joined forces with them and gained power and authority from them, these were the major figures that resurrected every 500 years.
Zombies, while mindless, were numerous and highly infectious, thus dangerous, while Ghouls and Vampires were less infectious and fewer in number, but they could impersonate humans.
At the center of all these creatures was a figure known as the ‘Lord’.
“The Lord…”
“Yes. We don’t know much about what it actually is, but it’s clear that its existence is linked to the 500year cycle of resurrection.”
Upon hearing the word ‘Lord’, Latil recalled the death of the impostor emperor assassin and brought up another story she hadn’t mentioned to the High Priest earlier.
“The impostor emperor assassin I told you about earlier. In the middle of his confession, he suddenly said ‘Lord’ and died.”
“!”
Both the High Priest and Lean were shocked at Latil’s words.
“Really?”
“He called Tulla the ‘Lord’?”
“Yes. And a few days ago, during my coronation ceremony, there was an attacker. When I pursued them, they said that. They came on Tulla’s orders.”
Lean looked at the High Priest with a smirk.
“But Tulla is dead, right? He was definitely executed…”
“Exactly.”
The High Priest looked much more serious than before, repeatedly tapping his knee with his fingers. It didn’t seem like he was taking Latil’s words lightly anymore.
“If Prince Tulla is alive and is the ‘Lord’ of the legend, ultimately, you will have to kill Prince Tulla.”
Only after a long while did the High Priest open his mouth with difficulty, as if unsure whether it was okay to say such a thing.
Indeed. From the High Priest’s perspective, it must have been difficult to say that the prince, who was favored by the previous emperor and was the halfbrother of the emperor, had to be killed.
Leaving aside the question of how to kill a person who is already dead.
“Is there no other way? What if the zombies outbreak before we find Tulla?”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
“This is crazy.”
“… I don’t know about zombies, but Ghouls and Vampires can’t operate under the sun.”
“The sun?”
Recalling the legendary Vampire story, Latil nodded. She had thought it was just a scary story, but it turned out to be true.
“Yes.”
“Anything else?”
“I’ll find out more.”
“….”
“And I’ll use all my resources to figure out where the Prince Tila is, and I’ll continue to report any related stories to Your Majesty. And if there are any other exorcism methods or weaknesses.”
[This is the time separator]Latil suggested to Grand Prince and Lean to take a few days off at the imperial palace, but they both left that evening, saying they had too much to find.
Seeing the Grand Prince’s eyes sparkle, Latil realized that this new and thrilling topic she had discussed with them had properly stimulated the Grand Prince’s thirst for knowledge.
It was clear that the Grand Prince regarded this matter seriously, yet also as his next research subject. Lean seemed to ponder this matter more seriously, as it involved his younger brother.
However, a few days passed quickly in a state where the only known method of exorcism was the sunlight, and people began to gradually get over the shock of a casino dealer becoming the sixth concubine.
Around that time, Latil came up with an unexpected hypothesis while drinking ice water.
“My ability!”
For the past few days, Latil hadn’t been able to hear other people’s inner thoughts. She had visited Klein several times just in case, but this time she couldn’t hear his thoughts.
It was the same with other people she had looked at closely. She was worrying if her ability had disappeared in the meantime, but then suddenly, a great idea occurred to her.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
