Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 99: The Doubt Between “Knowledge” and “Ignorance”
Duo Luo had no idea what kind of person the so-called god of wine was, but when he drank the wine, he did feel the unbearable drunkenness.

The dizzy feeling kept coming up, and he felt as if something was happening to him.

"Hmm~ Although I originally didn't intend to tell you, lest you misunderstand." The clear wine entered Moher's mouth. She savored it carefully and brought up a topic that interested Duo Luo. "However, considering you are so pitiful, Mr. Duo Luo, perhaps I should tell you. Although it is not in my best interest... Alas, who can blame me for being so great and magnanimous? Those who defeat me must receive some special treatment."

Dora was a little drunk and was curious about what Mohe wanted to say.

"Actually, the alchemist named Adeline isn't as bad as you think... Let me think, is she comparing the lives of the Alchemist Association with those of Buto City?"

"You're putting this down as not being so bad?"

Mo He spread his hands and said, "It's fine to let things develop this way. But she didn't really intend to massacre the city."

She picked up the hotel contact sign from the room. This item allowed the hotel staff to provide services at any time. "As you know, she actually brought everything: the Sky Fortress, the World Reflection, and the Abinu Mirror. Although the Abinu Mirror projected an illusory Kenku Island in the distance, I can feel that the Abinu Mirror is nearby."

Duo Luo couldn't help but laugh: "Doesn't this further prove that what you said is correct? She brought almost all her belongings with her."

"So you didn't study hard when I was teaching you alchemy, and now you're telling me this..."

Moher pointed at the alchemical doll she had placed in the room. "Didn't you discover this during today's investigation? There are a lot of these things in Butuo City—as many as the gargoyles we buried under the mansion. Do you understand what I mean?"

Duo Luo put down his wine glass, his brows slightly furrowed: "Please explain your words more clearly."

"What a hero who only knows violence..." Moh sighed. She picked up the sign, "This thing requires the permission of the World Reflection. To use a more vivid metaphor, the World Reflection has already eroded this city. It is compatible with this city... Well, to put it more directly, it is already reflecting the entire Butuo City. Why do you think she hasn't taken action yet, knowing that you and I are coming and we will stop her? Isn't she just waiting for the World Reflection to completely reflect this city?"

“…What happens after the reflection?”

"Star Tears fell from the sky, destroying everything and causing a horrific disaster. The bodies of everyone in Butuo City were destroyed, but their souls were transferred by the reflection of the world into the alchemical dolls prepared by Adeline. They are still alive - if you investigate further, in the cities surrounding Butuo City, you should find that alchemists are already on high alert, waiting for the active volcano to be activated so that they can fully rescue and minimize the losses."

Moher looked helpless, her face flushed and hot from the alcohol. "Although it can't be called a kind act, compared to what you thought before, don't you think this outcome is much better? So I said it's not as bad as you imagined... I originally intended for you to think of her this way. It's not a bad thing for me. After you thought Butuo City was destroyed—after you were blinded by anger and actually shot down the Sky Fortress, committing an unforgivable sin, you had no choice but to throw yourself into my arms, Mr. Doro. This was my original plan."

Doro thought the wine was delicious, but he suppressed his intention to have another glass. He had to stay sober. "So, why didn't Adeline tell me?"

"You don't seem to understand girls' feelings, Mr. Doro. This is a punishment—she feels sorry for you, so she wants to distance herself from you and hopes you'll hate her. If you kill her, it would be a relief for her, right? She'd see it as a form of atonement. But that's just my guess. I can't believe it. After all, I don't really understand humans, let alone human girls."

Mo He seemed to be getting more and more drunk: "If you really want to know, you have to ask yourself."

She looked a little dazed.

But it does not rule out that she is acting.

"Then why did you tell me? Like you said, according to your thinking, it seems that I have no choice?"

"Because I don't want you to become a boring person." The alcohol made Moher's thinking slow. She answered Duo Luo's question after a few seconds. "Dominating you is what I want to do, but if I use this method to dominate you, it always feels like it doesn't taste right - this is not what I want... Mr. Duo Luo, I should let you fall in sobriety... Well, just like now."

The girl's gem-like pupils suddenly stared at Dora.

Dora realized that she was not drunk at all.

Because there are so many emotions and so much meaning in her eyes.

"Let's not talk about what Adeline plans to do with the Star Tears. I made this alchemical tool myself. I once used it to destroy a city." As she spoke, a smile as bright as moonlight gradually spread across her face. "But, you know this, Mr. Dora, yet you still can't harbor any ill will towards me, towards this girl named Moher. I'm not someone you should treat with tenderness, my dear hero."

The smile on her face was that of a triumphant conspiracy. "At this point, if I asked you to kill me, it seems you wouldn't be able to do it. If this were a duel, I'd already won half the battle, Mr. Duo Luo. I think there will be a day when I will win completely."

Dora was silent.

Moher continued to sip his wine, not knowing how long it would take him to finish it. Was it impossible for him to kill this demon king?
"You said Adeline isn't as evil as you thought. Putting the souls of all the people in the city into an alchemical doll, isn't that evil?"

Mohe looked at Dora in confusion. "Isn't this strange? Not really, right? The essence of the soul hasn't changed, it's just a new body, just like I used to be a demon, but now I'm a human, just a new body. Most flesh and blood bodies can be recreated, but bodies like Shadi's and mine are more troublesome. In theory, the body of an alchemy doll is more useful than a natural human body, right? At least it won't get sick, and it's easy to repair. For most people, this should be a blessing, right?"

Her doubts didn't seem false.

"Miss Adeline probably thinks so too, right?"

Dora's inner excitement stopped at this point.

Just a change of body...yes.

The essence of the soul will not change. No matter how beautiful the girl in front of you looks, she is always the devil. The trouble she mentioned is probably the process of recovering the parts of her own body and returning to her peak, but she herself doesn't care what kind of body she has.

He remembered the scene during the day when Adeline walked out of the alchemy doll...

Alchemist.

Alchemy can be a very dangerous art.

This was the first time Dora felt frightened by this convenient technology.

He felt he should find a reason to refute the idea of ​​replacing a human body with an alchemical puppet, but he didn't understand alchemy. Even though he remembered the parts of Moher's teaching clearly, his knowledge of alchemy as a whole was too superficial.

And at this moment, he was also afraid of it.

If I study alchemy myself, will I end up like Moher and Adeline?
Will he become like this as he becomes more knowledgeable and in-depth about alchemy?
He could confidently say that if this matter were put to a vote in Butuo City, it would be rejected. On the one hand, everyone would blame their bodies, but on the other hand, they would not abandon their bodies and become alchemical puppets—for ordinary humans, this was terrifying to think about, and could even be written into horror stories.

But for alchemist masters like Moher and Adeline, they think it is a gift.

It is a reasonable option.

Speaking of which, the Demon King's body itself seems to be a product of high-level alchemy. No, perhaps it wasn't created through alchemy, but rather the condensation of all the Demon King's power and symbols, but his concept of the body is definitely like that. In a sense, the Demon King's body can be seen as an alchemical tool, a pieced-together alchemical tool.

That's why she was confused.

Only the omniscient Demon King would be puzzled by Dora's question.

It is the doubt of "knowledge" about "ignorance".

He didn't know if Mo He did it on purpose. He didn't know if she knew what he was thinking and just poured cold water on him on purpose to make him feel the changes in his emotions and satisfy his heart.

What exactly does this demon king want to do?
He shouldn't think like that.

He should think about what he is going to do.

"I want to know if you have any way to solve the problem of Star Tears. After all, it is something you created."

"I've already told you there won't be any serious consequences... but you're really being awkward. If you could help me get my lungs back, maybe I could do something?"

"Isn't this the same as destroying the Sky Fortress? You should have another way."

Mo He said with some dissatisfaction: "You are really going too far. From my point of view, even if there is a way, do I have to tell you? The relationship between us should be a transaction. Mr. Duo Luo, what do you want to trade with me?"
