Restarting Life After Forcibly Marrying the Demon Queen

136 The Source of Magic and the Birds and Beasts in the Clouds

“Puppet magic, a new magic that appeared in human territory hundreds of years ago. It is said that this kind of magic is quite dark, and it can kill life and manipulate them…”

“I don’t know whether this kind of magic was created by humans themselves, or whether they excavated ancient mysterious magic scrolls and learned from them. The source of magic is very mysterious. I have tried to investigate. There are so many kinds of folklore, it’s really hard to tell the truth from the fake.”

Latier sighed.

“I’ve heard of the puppet magic you mentioned…”

Mina didn’t intend to target Latier anymore, her tone calmed down a lot, and finally she had some gentleness that she should have.

“I only know that it is a kind of black magic, and the conditions for launching are very cruel. It needs to hollow out the internal organs of living species, leaving only the outer fur, and then inject magic to drive them.”

“However, the cost and price of activating this kind of magic are very high. As a new kind of magic, there are very few people in the whole continent who can master them…”

The ‘new rise’ in Mina’s mouth is indeed ‘new’ enough.

Hundreds of years have passed for human beings, whether it is an empire with stubborn foundations or a small country that keeps warm in a group, earth-shaking changes will occur. But in the eyes of the demons, it is not long at all, especially for the several demon kings present, hundreds of years are just a short period of time in their long lives.

But to Luo Ning, a teenager who only lived for 18 years, the hundreds of years in their mouths were quite a terrifying concept.

“Since black rains cannot be naturally formed clouds, they can only be man-made.”

“The three-legged crows in the cage have no life, and they will turn into a pool of black water when they encounter air… So the possibility that they are controlled by puppet magic is very high, but I don’t understand how humans can have such a powerful Control ability?” Lilulu on the other side frowned.

“According to what Luo Ning said last time, there are thousands of three-legged black birds hidden in the clouds. Humans have no talent for magic, and their physical ability will limit their magic… …I don’t think it’s possible to control such a huge bird and beast puppet.”

They should indeed trace the source of the black rain back to humans.

But whether it is common sense or the arrogance of being a demon king, they cannot accept that human beings have the ability to control the fate of the demon clan at will.

If the source of the black rain was attributed to the gods, they would be able to accept it with peace of mind, but if the other party was a human with the weakest physique and a better head, the demon kings would hesitate.

In a brief silence, Luo Ning tossed the Leviathan Song in his hand.

He sat up and suddenly said to the contemplative them:

“Is it possible that among the human beings, someone has an artifact?”

As soon as Luo Ning said this, the four of them turned their attention to him at the same time.

“Artifacts have intelligence, they basically choose their own owners, and they are scattered all over the world, so… it’s not surprising that humans get them, right?”

Luo Ning’s statement is very unlikely, but it is not impossible.

And for these demon kings, ‘humans use artifacts to control their destiny’ is easier to accept than ‘humans control their destiny by their own magic’.

“Artifact… If it’s the power of an artifact, we think it’s possible.” Fanny nodded in approval.

“Someone has obtained a puppet-type artifact, and puppet magic has become popular in the human domain… If you think about it this way, the sequence will be smooth.” Mina also felt that this matter made sense.

The rest of Latier and Lilulu had no objection, and everyone agreed with Luo Ning’s statement.

Compared with the nonsense at the beginning, at least he now knows what the problem needs to be solved. Luo Ning only needs to find the problem and solve it slowly, and the final truth will surface.

The puppet magic popularized by humans hundreds of years ago and the black rain that appeared at the same time as the demons… have an inevitable connection.

Luo Ning only needs to follow the birthplace of the puppet magic to find the culprit, then the strange birds and beasts hidden in the clouds of the Demon Race’s airspace can be solved together.

“I probably know what to do next,” Luo Ning concluded.

That being said, it’s quite complicated.

He needs to go to the human empire, several ruins of the Holy See of Light designated by Latier, to find Perseus who was captured, and by the way ‘kidnap’ a mentor to teach himself magic along the way. On the way, we will also investigate the origin of puppet magic, and try to find clues about the disappearance of the magic element in the demon continent.

… Thinking about it this way, the pressure of the task seems to be stronger than taking the college entrance examination.

“You can bring the birdcage with you, maybe it can help you provide some clues.” Latier set his eyes on Luo Ning.

Luo Ning lifted the metal buckle on the top of the birdcage again.

He probably thought about the scene where he was going.

Others are holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

Is he traveling with a book in one hand and a useless birdcage in the other?

“The bird cage can be put into the space bag.” Latier kindly reminded him.

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment. At first, he thought that living things could not be put into the magic space, so he didn’t subconsciously think about putting the bird cage in it.

But then I thought again… This thing has no life at all.

So Luo Ning’s mind moved, and the birdcage in his hand was stuffed into his pocket.

“Sure enough, it’s a lifeless thing…”

Fanny leaned in to look, her nose flapped, sniffing the lingering scent in the air.

“Well… there is indeed a three-legged black breath, but it is relatively weak, and we can smell the smell of black magic.”

“Lord Luoning, are you really going to find the source of puppet magic?… This trip will be very dangerous.”

Mina walked in front of Luo Ning, holding each other with her hands, hanging on her lower abdomen, looking a little worried.

Luo Ning nodded and replied: “If you want to solve this matter, someone must take action. It is difficult for you to inquire about news in human territory, so it is best for me to go.”

“And I still have to bring Perseus back and learn magic, so I can kill three birds with one stone.”

Luo Ning said and set his eyes on Lilulu, who was always silent.

Lilulu buried her head and said nothing.

However, it can be seen from her drooping bat wings that she is probably in a bad mood now.

“Then that’s it for now. After my report is over, I’ll just…”

“boom–!!”

A deafening bombardment interrupted what Latier wanted to say next.

The blue electric light swept through the window of the Demon King’s Palace and slammed straight on the flying object not far away.

Followed by a dazzling golden flash, Luo Ning saw a golden barrier and a little angel who had just woken up and started looking for his parents.

“Uuuuu, where did the god-sama go, don’t leave Laz uuuuuuuuuuuu…”

Looking down the empty window sill, Luo Ning saw a four-winged angel with a scorched yellow body, his arms drooping, flying aimlessly around the entire castle.

“…I almost forgot about this guy.”
