Volume 2: Funeral Song of Crows Chapter 36 Betting

"Or do you, who never need a reason to do anything, now have a reason to do this?"

After hearing William's question, the smile on the face of the Mad Fool Valk became even more intense. He clapped his hands , and the entire theater suddenly fell into darkness.

The darkness did not last long. With two "pops", two spotlights hit them respectively.

At this moment, when they appeared on the stage, Valk's image turned back into the exaggerated clown he had before.

William did not stop the other party's actions, nor did he ask about the other party's real purpose. He just waited quietly.

This was also the reason why he did not immediately chase after the coordinates of the "Crown of Original Darkness" in the etheric domain after he discovered that they had disappeared. Compared to the artifact and a soul fragment, he had more important things to confirm here.

He wanted to ascertain the real purpose of the Mad Fool's invitation to him to watch the play.

Valk was indeed a complete lunatic. In a sense, you could also say that he was a fool who could ignore his own gains and losses for fun. He imprisoned his first demon general for more than 800 years just to laugh at the "Moon Realm Disaster". Other Void Kings might not be able to do this, but he could.

But on the other hand, the other party was also an extreme pursuer of program effects. If what happened in the Star Lighthouse today was compared to a drama, then the program effect of this drama was undoubtedly a great failure.

The drama did not cause William to have a nervous breakdown, tears or hysterics.

Because William had told himself a long time ago that a thousand years had passed, and he had to be mentally prepared for whatever happened. This drama might have shaken William's heart to some extent, but it was still far from enough to break through his psychological defenses.

On the other hand, William understood too well Valk's extreme bad taste. If He just wanted to laugh at him through that incident, He would not have chosen to tell William the truth of the whole matter at this time.

At the very least, William had to wait until he personally arrived at the Moon Realm and saw with his own eyes the "Father of Crows" being promoted to a complete Void King, and the last moment when he was unable to stop it. Only then would Valk jump out and tell him about the past and give him a heavy blow.

And Valk now told him everything that had happened in the past. It was not so much to mock William as to give William a shot of prevention, so that he could be mentally prepared for what would happen next.

This is actually helping him.

The Mad Fool does not think about the reason when he sets traps for others, he just does it when he wants to. But if he is doing something that actually helps others, William would have to confirm the other party's reason.

"Disaster, how does it feel to change from a spectator to an actor?"

Valk asked after .

William did not reply, but instead set the stage on fire as his answer.

Looking at the burning curtain, Valk not only did not feel the slightest bit of anger, but instead burst into laughter.

"Great, great, as a candidate you are a hundred times more interesting than that brat, hahahahahahaha..."

Valk laughed until he was out of breath.

"Candidate? What candidate?"

William asked, frowning.

"Ah... Then I should start from the beginning. Now the will of your loyal subordinate has almost been exhausted. And the former Father of Crows, after completely losing his suppression, will gradually return to his proper state, and he is only one step away from creating eternity. As for who will inherit that power in the end, a few of my old friends have already found the right person hundreds of years ago, and for this purpose they have also proposed a very boring plan..."

As he spoke, the burning curtain suddenly turned into a map of the Vic Continent, and the flames turned into a vortex that swirled around the Blackwater Province.

"And this is the condition proposed by the candidate... By the way, do you want to guess the title of the fourteenth Void King? I'll give you three chances."

Valk jumped to the map, pointed at the location of the vortex, and asked William mysteriously.

"The King of Hope and Despair."

William answered directly.

The expression on Valk's face was as awkward as if a magician had just raised his left hat to draw the audience's attention, but a kid in the audience pointed at his right sleeve and shouted, "The rabbit is hiding there."

After a few seconds, He coughed twice and replied:

"Ahem, yes, it is the King of Hope and Despair. Do you know what the essence of "He" is? Is it more towards hope or despair? Or is it both..."

William, who had experienced the ending of the lunar eclipse, interrupted him and said:

"The realm He symbolizes is neither hope nor despair, but the moment of transition between the two. Could you please tell me the point quickly?"

The expression on Valk's face became even more embarrassed.

After several seconds, Valk's expression finally returned to his previous playful smile. He pointed to the location of Blackwater Province on the map and said:

"Hope and despair go hand in hand. Pushing mortals immersed in hope into the abyss, or lighting a beacon for people sinking in despair, this is the realm symbolized by the King of Hope and Despair. Because of this, that kid plans to use the entire Blackwater Province as the promised land of the entire Vic Continent. It will be the last pure land after the future fusion of the Moon Realm and Vic Continent, and it will also be the spark that ignites the plane fusion ceremony. It will be the pusher that pushes mortals into despair, and it will also be the last beacon of hope after despair descends..."

"What did you say?!"

This time, it was finally William's turn to be surprised. He asked with his eyes wide open.

Merging the planes of Vic Continent and Moon Realm? What kind of novel operation is this?

In response, Valk pretended to be careless and covered his mouth, saying in an exaggerated voice:

"Ah, how could I let it slip..."

Then Valk stopped acting and said with an extremely unhappy expression:

"You also find it incredible, right? Those idiots, as long as there is a stage, the actors and audiences will be replaced one after another, and good shows will be performed continuously. But they actually want to burn down the stage to fulfill their own ideas? It's really hard for me to describe them..."

Having said this, Valk calmed down and continued:

"In short, he now has several old friends who are familiar to you and me, betting and supporting him. Once he successfully takes over the body of the Father of Crows, the ceremony of his promotion to the fourteenth Void King will begin soon, and this promotion ceremony will also greatly speed up the time of the plane fusion ceremony."

"So? Are you going to stop them?"

William asked directly.

In response, Valk spread out his hands helplessly.

"There are too many of them. I can't defeat them."

But He then added:

"However, during the promotion ceremony, none of us are qualified to interfere with the ceremony. So since they choose to bet, I can also bet."

When Valk said this, William finally understood what he meant.

"So you want to bet on me?"

Valk nodded and said:

"Yes, it is you who made the former Moon Realm Disaster become the new Void King. There is probably no joke in the world funnier than this."

"The other side has a large number of people."

William reminded.
