My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 375 Demons are full of traitors

Roland found it difficult to describe how he felt after hearing those words.

When you're in enemy territory, and an enemy who recognizes your faction comes and asks you to kidnap her and take her back, anyone with a normal IQ would instinctively suspect that there might be some kind of conspiracy.

wrong!

This must be some kind of conspiracy!
If it's not a conspiracy, then this red-haired female demon in front of me must be out of her mind.

And judging from the sincerity in his eyes... this guy seems to be serious.

She really wanted Roland to kidnap her.

Could she really be mentally challenged? After all, she exudes an aura similar to Kalia's when she acts foolishly.

A kind of blind faith in others.

Roland showed no interest in this strange request, but instead asked, "Why should I help you? Give me a reason."

"And why should I trust you so much?"

"Now that you've recognized me, you should know that you're still alive only because you haven't shown any hostility."

After saying this, Roland turned and walked into the forest: "Leave now, and I may spare your life. Otherwise..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a simple wind blade suddenly appeared beside the female demon, swiftly grazing her neck and leaving a shallow bloodstain on her fair skin.

"Otherwise, the next wind blade won't just graze you."

After doing all this, Roland planned to head back.

Although his intuition told him that this female demon was no threat and that she was sincere and honest, Roland would consider it if she asked him to help him get rid of his enemy.

But the idea of ​​kidnapping people and taking them back to human territory is really absurd.

If there's no conspiracy, Roland would have gnawed on the tree right now.

As Roland turned to leave, the female demon quickly took two steps forward, her right hand instinctively reaching out to grab him: "Wait, wait! I haven't finished speaking yet! You can leave after you've finished!"

"You, a powerful figure like yourself, must have heard that the kings of the Federation of Nations and most of the powerful nobles are controlled by the demons!"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen to come to Enwa at this time, would you?"

"I am the one who helped the Demon King's Court control the king and those nobles! You won't believe me, just look!"

As she spoke, an activated primordial rune appeared in the palm of the female demon's hand. However, something that puzzled the female demon herself soon happened.

The moment she summoned the runestone, this runestone, which had been plundered from the Cangya family by the Demon King's Court and subsequently chosen her as its master, began to fly uncontrollably toward the human powerhouse before her.

He seems to be fickle and easily bored.

She had no choice but to retrieve the rune before it went completely out of control, and then looked somewhat uneasy at the human powerhouse with an unknown figure in front of her.

As the current owner of the runestone, she is very clear about its origins.

The runestone, which once belonged to the saints of the Church, was taken by the Demon King and entrusted to the Cangya family for safekeeping. Later, it was plundered by the royal army sent by the Demon King's court.

Moreover, the demon who led the team at that time took it upon himself to completely destroy the already weakened Cangya family...

Although humans probably don't know much about the Primal Runestones... they are from the same faction after all... could it be that they recognized it?

Meanwhile, Roland woke up immediately upon seeing the runestone.

He remembered the information that the Blood Demon Lord had once told him.

In the Demon King's Court, a young man gained the approval of the runestone and could freely wield its power.

Is it possible...

Roland stopped in his tracks.

Although he didn't know what this guy was thinking, he could listen to his thoughts for the sake of the rune stone.

The two of them have unequal access to information, and Roland might be able to exploit this information gap to extract some of the information he needs.

“...Tell me what I want to know.”

"After hearing this, I will consider the cooperation."

The female demon nodded quickly, and then Roland asked the question directly.

From the destruction of the Cangya family, to the true thoughts and stances of the three royal courts of Blood Demon, Gargoyle, and Lich, and then to the dangers of the Mist phenomenon.

The female demons then explained everything one by one.

The destruction of the Cangya family was indeed ordered by the Whip Heart Demon King's Court, but when the Whip Heart Demon Lord issued the order, he only stated that the rune stone should be brought back, and did not indicate that the Cangya family should be destroyed.

The destruction of the Cangya family was essentially related to Wilma Serax, the commander of the royal army at the time. He was a powerful fire demon commander, whose strength was not much weaker than that of the current fire demon lord, Surte. This event directly led to a de facto split in the demon royal court, which had been maintaining a delicate balance.

Although the three old and powerful kingdoms of Gargoyle, Blood Demon, and Lich suffered considerable losses in the Thousand-Year War, and many powerful beings of the Great Demon race perished, they still possessed profound foundations.

The other faction consists of the Heart-Beating Demon King's Court, which rose to prominence after the Thousand-Year War, and the Balrog and Goliath Giant King's Courts, which were won over by the Demon King.

She didn't know much about the true nature of the Mist Disaster, only that it was a disaster that spread rapidly, slowly altered the magical environment within its affected area, and generated bizarre monsters.

This calamity first appeared five hundred years ago. At that time, the Demon King, who was waging war abroad, paid a huge price to teleport the entire Demon King's Castle back to Enva, temporarily repelling the source of the disaster.

Not long after the Demon King's death, the calamity returned.

If it weren't for the fact that the patriarch of the Carrion Clan led the entire Carrion Clan royal court to suppress the calamity, and the sudden aid of the human hero who slew the Demon King, the far north where Enwa was located would have long since become a desolate land swallowed by the mist.

It was precisely because of the increasingly severe fog disaster over the past three hundred years that the royal court began to think of ways to save itself.

This was even enough to allow the royal court, which was already in a state of de facto division, to reach a consensus on some issues.

In other words, as long as the Demon King's Court can gather ten runestones to activate the hope of the Golden Horn, the other three royal courts will provide the necessary assistance.

After listening to the female demon's account, some of the doubts that had puzzled Roland for a long time were also resolved.

However, there were some things that bothered him a lot.

The Demon King defeated the source of the calamity? Was this guy really that powerful in his prime?
Moreover, the hero Himmel actually appeared in Enwa to help the demons repel the calamity? Why has this never been seen in human records?

Was it that he didn't want to record it, or did Hsinmel consider the impact of traveling alone at the time?
Considering that even Furam didn't know about this, it's almost certain that after the Hero Squad disbanded, Shinmel secretly went to Enva on her own.

Even if the Demon King deliberately sought death and held back a little, the person who was able to kill him should not be much weaker than the Demon King in his prime.

The same goes for the King of Carrion, who was also certified by the Demon King as a peerless powerhouse with strength similar to his own, having reached the demigod realm.

After pondering for a moment, Roland looked at the female demon: "Aren't you worried that I'm just trying to get information from you, and that I'll leave after I get the information?"

"And how can you be so sure that I will believe you one hundred percent?"

"I'm not worried!" the female demon said sincerely and loudly, "You wouldn't be that kind of person!"

"……Why?"

"You are a good person!"

"..."

Roland didn't say anything more, feeling a bit annoyed at being given a "friend card" for no reason: "Name."

"Just call me Niff!"

“Alright, Neve, come with me first. I’ll introduce you to someone, and also… tell you a few things.”

Perhaps it was the genuine sincerity of the female demon named Neve that moved Roland, or perhaps Roland wasn't worried that a demon who had only recently entered the transcendent realm could cause any trouble. In any case, he chose to take her to find Cherinina and the Demon King, who were waiting for him at the evacuation point.

Immediately afterwards, Roland dispelled the effects of the Wind King's Barrier, revealing his "Flame Demon Armor".

But this sudden change in appearance didn't seem to have any effect on the mind demon named Neve. She just looked at Cherinina with some surprise, as well as the noisy gauntlet in her hand.

"So slow! Does it really take this long to look at something?! If you really want to know something, why don't you just ask me? I even designed that thing!"

"Wait a minute, you brought back a prisoner? Not bad, so you actually agreed with my plan, right? It's just about storming into the Covenant Temple and stealing the Horn! It's not difficult at all, is it!"

Roland was silent for a long time: "You could barely call her a prisoner. But she came with me voluntarily, saying she wanted me to kidnap her and take her back to the human world."

"By the way, she is the demon who exerted those mind controls. I've checked, and she does indeed possess a Primal Runestone."

"Judging from her attitude, she probably wanted to actively break free from the mind control effect."

"Moreover, since they are not very strong, any problems can be dealt with in a timely manner."

The Demon King was silent for a moment: "You mean you went to check out the stabilizer's structure, and then you brought back the Heart-Piercing Demon King's secret weapon? This little girl doesn't even have a bodyguard or anything?!"

"This doesn't make any sense at all. Wouldn't the Demon King's Court send two or three powerful demons to keep an eye on someone like her?"

Before Roland could speak, Neve explained herself: "I ran back secretly! I did have guards... but I used the power of the rune stone to make them leave me behind and go back by myself. Anyway, I'm already in Enva, so I don't need to worry about too much danger. I also have a token that I can use to command the royal army I see."

Roland nodded in agreement: "I didn't detect any other magical reactions, otherwise I wouldn't have brought her back."

The Demon King pondered for a moment, then asked, "So you plan to hypnotize the guard with this child, then sneak in and steal the things? Hmm, not a bad plan! We'll make our move once Polycia wakes up, and then fly away as soon as we've succeeded!"

Roland: "...I didn't have that idea!"

"Haven't you realized yet? There's no need to steal the items. Wouldn't it be enough to prevent them from collecting the runes to activate the Golden Horn?!"
