Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 102 War and Position

When Lastina got up in the morning, she found that Lisiduowei was missing.

"Lisiduowei has some things to do and won't be back for a few days. We don't need to worry about her."

Lastina couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Mr. Doro won't go with you? Miss Lisiduowei is a girl, I'm afraid it might be dangerous."

"Don't worry, Lisiduowei is not that fragile. Besides, she has hired some guards."

Mo He lied without blinking: "Speaking of which, Mr. Duo Luo, are you going to meet your old friend today?"

Dora was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Mohel was talking about and nodded, "Yes."

"Old friend?"

Lastina was a little confused.

Mo He explained, "Mr. Duo Luo ran into an old friend while drinking yesterday, so he came back drunk yesterday. He should be going to pay him a formal visit today. Do you need us to accompany you?"

"No need for this."

Moher thought for a moment and then said, "Today, I'll leave Rose to you! Bring a maid with you to meet her. Don't bring shame to the mansion. You are Rose's master now. You should always have some dignity when meeting an old friend."

Based on what Lastina has known about Dora during this period, he will definitely refuse.

But after a moment of silence, Duo Luo unexpectedly agreed.

He looked a little embarrassed, but still said to Rose, "Rose, I'll leave it to you today."

Although Rose didn't quite understand what was going on, she would not refuse Dora's request: "Okay, Master Dora, I will be your exclusive maid today."

"I thought I'd be relaxed after arriving in this city, but it's busier than I imagined. Miss Lastina, it looks like we'll be the only two having fun today."

are you busy?
Lastina's impression was that they were just playing around. Although playing around was quite exhausting, it felt good. It just felt like everyone else was doing something else. She didn't know if it was just her imagination.

"I don't care..."

Moher then smiled and walked Rose and Dora out the door with Lastina.

So only Moher and Lastina were left in the hotel.

Moher became somewhat excited. "Ms. Lastina! Today is a carnival for our merchant group. Perhaps it's time to investigate some business matters. Although doing this kind of thing while traveling seems a bit unprofessional - would you like to accompany me?"

"Oh, of course, Miss Moher, that's a given! Business matters are exactly what need to be studied and explored. My father often told me that there's no fixed way to do business, and that being well-informed is crucial. Never underestimate anyone's wisdom, and bargaining is a profound art."

Moher and Lastina went out together to investigate the business situation in Butuo City. This wasn't boring; rather, from Moher's perspective, it was quite interesting. They would also chat with the owners of some small vendors to see if they had any unique insights.

There was nothing left for Moher to do in this city.

Of course, it would be another matter if someone came to interfere... For example, the great saint, Lady Xia Di.

Mohe had informed Xia Di about this matter in advance. Judging from the time, he should be here soon, right?
When Xia Di arrives here, she will be able to push Adeline to her limit.

In such an incident, someone had to come to the rescue. This person couldn't be Moher or Doro, so it had to be Shadi. After Adeline's plot was thwarted, the alchemist's punishment was naturally carried out by Shadi.

Although Moher had half-heartedly considered transforming Adeline into a demon, after careful consideration, it seemed pointless. After all, she only knew alchemy. There was no need for a dedicated alchemist in her mansion, especially since Adeline and her alchemical philosophy differed.

……

It was certainly a formal visit, because when Doro saw Adeline again, his expression was completely different from yesterday.

Rose followed Dora and finally knew who the so-called old friend was. She had clearly seen him in the mansion before. It was obvious that Adeline had been tricked by the Demon King - otherwise the Demon King would not have brought them here.

Of course, today Rose is a maid.

She always comes out in a maid outfit.

So she had no intention of interrupting or greeting Adeline. "Adeline, this is the last time I'm going to ask you, are you really not going to stop?"

Duo Luo went straight to the point.

Adeline answered seriously, "If I could, I'd also like to be able to stop, but has the Demon King ever told you that once you put the Star Tears thing on, you can't stop it?"

The Demon King also told me that even if you hang on it, you can't make it fall... But it's better not to tell her.

Duo Luo felt a little heavy in his heart: "Then can you tell me your reason?"

"Haven't you already planned to do something? What's the point of asking for reasons now?"

"I want to hear the answer myself, so that I can give up certain fantasies, just like the conversation with Xia Di. In this way, when I take action, I will feel much better inside." Duo Luo would not say such words before. He felt that he might have finally changed. This change... has something to do with the Demon King.

Adeline seemed to realize something. She closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and then opened them again, her will becoming firm. "Although telling you about political matters might be a waste of words, since you insist on an answer, I can tell you for the sake of our past relationship."

"The simplest answer is that I am responsible for the alchemists. Before becoming a member of the Brave Squad, I was first and foremost an alchemist. I learned the knowledge gained by numerous alchemists through their endless explorations in ancient times, and thus continued to grow. The things I can do as a member of the team are built on this foundation. Alchemy is my foundation, so - I am loyal to alchemy. Do you understand?"

Her statement seemed a bit cold and callous, but it made sense. "I understand. But what does this have to do with what you're doing? In the past, alchemists also had their own lives, and alchemy still flourished. Why is it necessary to establish a country, and why must it be destroyed?"

"You should actually ask the Demon King this kind of question."

"I want to hear you. This is a problem between me and you."

Adeline sensed Doro's determination and realized he was ready to make a decision. But she didn't intend to tell him her thoughts. After all, betrayal was already a fact. During her last visit to the Moher Mansion, Adeline already knew the answer - they, the entire Brave Squad, would never be able to go back to the past with this man.

He had decided to give up on them.

At this point, even if I put aside my pride and begged him for shelter like an abandoned dog, what would it matter?

She also has her reserve.

So, it's better this way. It's better to be hated and disliked by him. It's better than not caring at all.

"Ultimately, it's a matter of money. Using money to explain it is easier to understand... Using resources, wealth, and the like is more ambiguous—it has something to do with mathematics, which you don't quite understand... So all you need to know is that when the number of alchemists reaches a certain level, the existing system will only be dragged down by the multitude of alchemists, or rather, the system will drag down the development of the alchemists. In short, establishing a nation is an inevitable development. The more prosperous alchemy develops, the greater the necessity."

She said Duo Luo didn't quite understand because she didn't understand it before, and only understood it after becoming the leader of an organization. If you don't really control an organization, don't really make it run, and don't face those difficulties, you can't understand these problems. Maintaining a large organization requires energy and concerns.

Duo Luo has no experience in this, so he won't understand.

"But once the Alchemist Association establishes a nation, it will face another problem. Alchemy, once equal and borderless, will now have national boundaries. To whom will the results of alchemy be given? Who will not? Will it become involved in disputes between nations? How will the Alchemy Nation itself further expand?" Adeline raised some of the questions. "Actually, what I'm doing is the simplest, please skip."

Her attitude was very calm: "You think I'm doing something quite excessive, but if I remember correctly, you don't participate in the struggle between countries. You acquiesce to things like war, don't you? You are looking at the problem from the wrong angle, Godora. You think that it is the alchemist Adeline who is committing brutal acts to destroy the country... You should think that it is Queen Adeline of the Alchemist Country who is launching an invasion of the Human Central Empire.

This is war, Godora!

I am the one who wants to take a piece of meat from the Central Empire of Humanity!"

War - Dora finally understood Adeline's thoughts. Just like in the past, when the united races fought against the demons, the casualties were incalculable, and the brave A. Godora also had to face various sacrifices.

Adeline stared at Dora. "Back when you were a hero, you didn't stop the war. Now, from what standpoint do you intend to stop me? To accuse me of starting a war? You should know the meaning of war."

Duo Luo was silent for a moment and said:

"As the Demon King's apostle, I will prevent such a war from happening. The world belongs to the Demon King, and everything is his private property. I will protect his private property."

Adeline was stunned, then she smiled.

"That's a great excuse, Godora, are you serious?"

"I've said it many times, I'm Doro, not A Godora."
