Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 118 Sacrifice Things That We Would Not Sacrifice in the Past

When Moher and his group returned to the mansion, Doro and Lisiduowei's relationship had become much closer. At least, the two of them were holding hands when they appeared in front of everyone. The gesture was quite natural. It was hard to imagine that the relationship between the two people could change so drastically in just two days.

Mohe stared thoughtfully at the two holding hands, then nodded as if he had learned something. "We saw a conscription notice in Sim City. The Human Central Empire is finally ready to show its true strength to the world. The Snow Elves are probably in imminent danger this time. This is a good opportunity to establish merit. Mr. Doro, do you have any ideas?"

Duo Luo held Lisiduo's hand. "I just got married, and I'm going to join the army and fight on the front lines? Isn't this plot a little contrived? I have no interest in that kind of thing. Even if I tell the truth, it was the snow elves who first attacked the human kingdom, and then the humans launched a counterattack. The strength of the two is not even on the same level. Wars like this are all about gaining merit. I have no background, so why would I go there?"

He waved his hand casually: "I'm not going anyway."

"Eh~ It's just right that I'm not going. Our Fallen Wine has been selling very well, and I'm planning to expand the scale of cultivation this year, so I'm in need of manpower. When the mansion hires new people, you have to help with the training, Mr. Duo Luo, you know a lot about the mansion."

What does this have to do with me?
"Who are you planning to recruit?"

"What kind of people are we recruiting? Slaves. The war has already begun. Although the slave trade is not banned now, it has already declined. However, as the war progresses, this industry will flourish again. Everywhere needs a prosperous population." Mohe gave his answer without hesitation.

There was actually a relatively inconspicuous slave market in Sim City, but Mohe knew it would take some time before the real "good stuff" came along. Currently, there were still relatively few people whose families had been torn apart. As more people lost their homes, there would naturally be more slaves. Of course, that was assuming he himself didn't become a slave.

In reality, Sim City was quite far from the Ice Kingdom, so even if a war broke out, it wouldn't have spread to this side. It was just that the lords here were recruiting troops, planning to send a team to gain merit on the battlefield. Nobles were still very ambitious these days, each eager to advance their rank.

Duo Luo meant to tell Mo He directly that he would not take care of this matter.

As many had expected, the hero had no position to intervene. Regardless of their motives, the fact was that the snow elves had initiated the attack on human territory. Dora had no right to say that he had stood by while the snow elves attacked, only to attack when they were attacked. This was out of character, especially since he had just gotten married.

He didn't think his current life was bad. Just like she told Lisiduowei, marriage was the beginning of their relationship, and he needed to manage the relationship well instead of interfering in other people's affairs.

He had no idea what to do about Moher's plan to buy slaves. Although hiring workers to work in the mansion was possible, Moher clearly preferred a one-time deal. Or perhaps it was normal for her to know what was going to happen. After all, this Demon King...

Duo Luo put these thoughts away.

"You shouldn't have anything to do recently, right?"

"Oh~ me? I think, apart from the things going on at the mansion, we should be pretty free."

——This is a lie.

Moher habitually didn't tell the truth, so she certainly couldn't be idle. She had a lot on her plate. First, there were the things going on in the mansion, such as persuading A. Sion to transform into a demon for Dora's sake and persuading Rose to seduce Dora.

Then came the things outside the mansion. Dora said that he didn't intend to interfere in the war in the Ice and Snow Kingdom, but that didn't mean Moh wouldn't intervene. Of course, she knew very well that the Brave Master would definitely keep an eye on her and prevent her from doing anything extreme, but who said that interfering in the kingdom's struggle required her to be there in person?

In addition to the war between the mansion and the Ice and Snow Kingdom, she also has to consider the Curse Master Alliance, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Magician's Guild - this world is her personal property as the Demon King, so of course she has to take care of everything under the sun.

She has to interfere in everything.

Oh my! Where in the world is there a ruler as responsible as her?

"Adeline, are you okay?"

Looking at this sacred and noble woman in front of her, Adeline's heart couldn't help but calm down.

There was a calming power in the other party's words. Adeline knew that this was because the other party's divine power was very strong, and the power that unconsciously rippled around could calm people. Even without using "meditation", it had the power to keep people calm.

"Shadi..."

Adeline was taken to the tower where Shadi was staying. She felt divine power coursing through her body—a power that wasn't particularly aggressive. She knew Shadi was examining her body, checking for any remaining traces of the Demon King's power. She accepted it calmly. "It looks like the Demon King didn't leave any backup within you, Adeline. This isn't good news."

Xia Di stated this fact calmly.

Adeline's face was dejected. "Yes, this is not good news... I know... She knows I'm ruined. I'll never have the courage to challenge her again. I can't even use alchemy properly anymore... I... My only meaning in this world is to make her smile when she sees me again."

Xia Di couldn't help but frown, and the divine power could not help but ripple. "You just lost a battle, and you are so depressed? I heard about the war there—losing to the Demon King is not a strange thing. The only one in this world who has defeated the Demon King is Godora. Why are you so depressed? If you are in such a state, then after being defeated by Godora, shouldn't I commit suicide on the spot? Return to the arms of God?"

"No, it's different... Xia Di, this is different." Adeline seemed a little dazed. Even by Adeline's side, even though the tower was filled with divine power, Adeline was still a little crazy. "She denied everything! She destroyed everything I had in front of me! She made me know how ridiculous alchemy is! She made me know! Humanity's struggle, human history! Everything! Everything! Are her toys! They are all things she completed over the long years and then discarded! Alchemy has no meaning at all! None!"

She grabbed Xia Di's shoulders and yelled at her. Even the radiance of divine power could not calm her down.

"Haha! How ridiculous! Only pure strength can defeat her. Everything else is false: curses, divine arts, astrology, magic... anything that can be called 'art', 'law', or 'principle'! All of them are meaningless to her! Everything is within her vision. She watched these things being born! She watched these things developing! She watches everything in the world! No... that's right, these things may have originally been born from her. It's just that people only know that the curse comes from the Demon King!"

Adeline suddenly let go of Xia Di and knelt on the ground, covering her head. Moher's smile appeared before her eyes, and the music he played rang in her ears: "No! Humans, living beings, have been her toys since the beginning of their creation. Everything exists to make her happy. Our true mission is just to please her. We must spend our entire lives in her presence and make her smile! That is our mission!"

Xia Di's expression finally gave way, and she looked quite grim. She had never imagined Adeline would be so frustrated. She had seen the Demon King before, and while that Demon King's knowledge had also frightened her, it wasn't to this extent...

After all, divine arts are the domain of God.

She couldn't empathize with Adeline and didn't know what she was really thinking at the moment, but she knew that she couldn't let Adeline go on like this, otherwise - the church would have no point in freeing Adeline from petrification, and it would be a pure loss.

Adeline herself is valuable, if she remains like this...

Shadi squatted down and placed her hands on Adeline's shoulders.

Adeline's trembling gradually stopped, and she slowly raised her head, as if she was hoping for something.

Then came a slap.

The hand on Adeline's shoulder suddenly turned into a slap, slapping Adeline in the face, sending her flying and hitting the tower wall.

The tower was filled with divine power and would not be easily damaged. Adeline was hit hard by this.

She slid down the wall to the ground.

Covering his face with his hands, he looked at Xia Di with a confused expression.

Xia Di slowly walked back to Adeline and said, "Adeline, I don't know how you feel, but if you want to die, I can help you. I can't save you, but I can kill you. I have the ability to do that. If you feel that your existence is meaningless, then I can help you find freedom. Helping people return to the embrace of God is also my mission."

The gentle and warm divine power in the tower became fierce and surging at this moment, as if it would drown Adeline in the ocean of divine magic in the next moment.

"I……"

"If all people in the world were the Demon King's playthings, then the Demon King would not be cut. Whatever Godora can do, we can do as well. Since you said that only pure power can defeat her, then embrace pure power. Why don't you look at what stupid things you are doing?"

Adeline stared at Xia Di blankly. She was very confused: "To embrace pure power... How can I embrace pure power?"

“Sacrifice things you wouldn’t sacrifice in the past.”
