Chapter 3717 The King of Darkness
"Why does the noble knight know his identity?" Angel was a little curious.
Bonette: "Because every mission assigned by the Dark King is delivered by the Noble Knight. Although there is no chief within the knights, if you insist on being the chief, the Noble Knight deserves the title."
"That's it." Angel nodded, and then asked some more information about the Lord of Darkness.
However, Bonette doesn't know much about the Lord of Darkness.
Especially the clues that directly point to the Lord of Darkness, Bonnet has no clues at all. The only information she knows about the Lord of Darkness is some tasks assigned by the Lord of Darkness through the noble knight.
Angel also listened to the mission assigned by the Lord of Darkness.
After listening to several tasks, Angel discovered that although these tasks had basically nothing to do with the Dark Lord's personal information, they were extremely important.
Normally, the Dark Round Table would be completely managed by the Seven Knights, and the Dark King would hardly interfere with anything.
But once the Lord of Darkness assigns a task, it is a very important task, and some tasks can even overturn the structure of the entire underground neighborhood.
For example, building sixty-six underground cities is a task assigned by the Lord of Darkness.
Also, the original site of the Eighth Town was originally a huge reservoir filled with wastewater. When the Flame Knight came here, he evaporated all the wastewater and burned the remaining pollution sources. This task was also assigned by the Lord of Darkness.
It can be said that as long as the tasks assigned by the King of Darkness are major changes.
From this point of view, the King of Darkness fits his identity: the king hidden in the underground streets.
It was he who drove away the filth little by little and built a living home for the residents of the underground neighborhoods.
Worthy of its name.
Unfortunately, Angel was unable to pass these tasks to lock down the identity of the Dark King.
Angel thought for a while: "Have you ever made any guesses about the identity of the Lord of Darkness?"
Bonette thought for a moment and nodded.
Although she is indifferent to many things, it is impossible for her to say that she has no guesses about the identity of her "superior".
But even if she had a guess, there was no way to confirm it.
Because of the mark, she couldn't even talk to people within the Knights about the Lord of Darkness.
Therefore, guessing is limited to guessing and cannot be counted.
Angel: "It's okay, I want to hear your guess."
Angel naturally knew that most of the speculations were unsubstantiated, but sometimes "your unwarranted associations and unwarranted guesses" were actually a kind of interweaving of inspiration, or the guidance of the soul.
For example, Angel once heard a story.
There was a man who had never left the village since he was born. In so many years of life, he knew everything about the village. He could tell at a glance what changes had happened in the village. Even the small trees on the roadside had been moved.
He can notice when flowers and plants are planted or picked.
But he doesn't have any extraordinary abilities or extraordinary memory. He has just lived here for too long and is familiar with every plant and tree here.
On this day, he wandered around the village as usual.
While wandering around, he found that everything in the village was the same as before, but he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
He saw a group of children playing, and the children's clothes had the number 666 on them. This number, in his belief, represents a bad connotation, and the homophonic sound is related to death.
He saw three snakes crawling out of the snake hole and crawling towards the dark swamp. It was not uncommon for snakes to come out of the hole, but the swamp they went to was where someone had lost his footing and drowned just a few days ago. Moreover, the three snakes
The posture of the snake when moving is a bit like three sixes.
He also saw an annoying guy coming back from the city. He asked himself the time. The man looked at his pocket watch and saw that it was exactly 6:06.
The things he saw were actually common things, but he felt something was wrong.
He had a vague suspicion that something bad might happen.
He told others his guess, but no one believed him.
He himself knew that these unfounded speculations were too bizarre and he could not convince others, but his anxiety made it impossible for him to do nothing. So, he left the village overnight and went to the next village.
When he woke up the next day, he saw the surrounding villagers looking at him with sympathetic faces. Only then did he learn the bad news. Because of the landslide, his home and the entire village were buried underground.
No one survived.
And he escaped the disaster because he came to the next village.
This story is true and was recorded in the "Inspiration" magazine published by Sky Machine City.
After telling this story, the author gave an explanation: Many times, your guesses may seem groundless, but they are not. The subconscious mind is like a sophisticated calculator, which combines external information, environmental information and
Your interpersonal interactions give you an answer that you think is a guess, but is actually a warning. This is inspiration.
Even ordinary people have inspiration.
The inspiration of the extraordinary is even more amazingly accurate.
This is why Angel asked Bonette about her guess. Maybe her subconscious had captured the identity of the Lord of Darkness, but Bonette herself didn't know it.
Bonette thought for a while: "My guess actually does not point to a specific person. Because I am actually not very familiar with the people here."
For the same reason, Bonette joined the Dark Round Table for too short a time, and because of her own characteristics, she could only choose to become a home girl isolated from the outside world. Therefore, she did not know a few big shots at all.
Bonette couldn't directly guess the specific identity of the Lord of Darkness.
However, Bonnet also has her own guess:
"I found that almost all the tasks assigned by the Dark King are to restore disorder to order."
For example, the chaotic underground neighborhoods can be rebuilt into towns, and the disordered life can be restored to a state of order.
For another example, the Lord of Darkness planned the waterways in the underground city so that wastewater and clean water would no longer mix, and disorder would be restored to order.
There are many more examples.
The Lord of Darkness is like a savior, creating a stable living environment for the people in the underground city.
This is probably why the people of the Knights are so loyal to the Lord of Darkness.
However, Bonette always felt that this method of "returning disorder to order" was too familiar.
"I once thought about the question, who desires order?"
"People in underground neighborhoods? No. Although order can bring a good environment and improve life, people living in underground neighborhoods have never been exposed to order before. They don't know the benefits of order. More people
They will only feel that they are bound and have lost their freedom. They are too short-sighted and do not know the benefits of order, but only see the disadvantages of order, so it should not be them."
"Are they from the Knights? It's possible, but most of the Knights grew up slowly from the people of chaos. Most of them don't know the benefits of order, and they became the Seven Knights. Their rights are superior to countless people.
Above all, the more disordered the society at this time, the more fun it can bring them. They may not necessarily pursue order."
"So, I thought about many possibilities. People who really desire order may be people who live under order."
"It may even be the person who created the order. He sits on the highest throne. He has the strongest rights. He desires everything to be under the order he created. Only in this way will unexpected changes not happen."
When Bonette said this, she stopped and said to Angel: "This is my guess. I don't know who it is, but I feel... the King of Darkness may come from the sun."
Under the sun is just a nickname, the underground neighborhood's name for the group of people living on the surface.
The sunshine here is not just real sunshine, but also means that they have a "legal" identity and can live an upright life without hiding in dark underground waterways.
After hearing this, Angel's eyes flickered.
Bonette's guess is very interesting. Although she did not clearly give her specific identity, she has actually defined the scope.
The only people who can create order, and they are still "under the sun", are those who stand at the top of the pyramid of the modern city.
Including people who have been crowned kings in the past dynasties, as well as people from city officials, and people from fashion guilds.
Assuming that Bonnet's guess is correct, then based on Angel's superficial understanding, he personally prefers people who have been crowned kings in the past, as well as people from city officials.
Because the Fashion Guild and the Dark Round Table are inherently hostile and competitive.
If the Dark King is a high-level leader of the Fashion Guild, and he deliberately created a hostile organization for himself, why are you? Angel is a little confused about the logic of his behavior.
Therefore, in his opinion, it is more likely that people who have been crowned kings and officials in the past dynasties.
Especially official people.
Those who pursue order the most, and those who hope for stability and harmony above and below the ground, are definitely the officials.
So, maybe the Dark Lord is official?
