"Fuck, this woman actually believed it? Are all the demons in this world so simple?" Rhine decided to continue fooling the other party.
"The strength I demonstrated is the best proof." Rhine said confidently.
"Think about it carefully. Can a 4-year-old human child, a male at that, easily defeat a top-level witch apprentice like you?"
"Since you have been living in the human world for so long with your identity hidden, you must know that the genetic defects of male mages make it impossible for them to break through to the level of witches. And for me, killing witches is like killing dogs."
Rhine did not prove his own authenticity, but emphasized some facts again, and then let the other party think for themselves. This is an application of the blank effect in psychology. To put it bluntly, it means saying half of the sentence and letting the other party fill in the remaining half.
Lilith frowned deeply. Just as Rhine said, it was extremely difficult for a male wizard to break through the witch realm, not to mention that he was still a 4-year-old child.
"What state are you in now?"
Seeing that the other party was not questioning her but trying to complete the information, Rhine knew that she must have fallen into a trap.
"Because it has only been less than ten days since I awakened, I am still only at the level of a magic apprentice, but I should have no problem dealing with the Great Witch."
"Are you really a magic apprentice?"
"To be exact, it's the peak of magic apprentice. If you don't believe me, just look for yourself." Rhine sincerely showed his level to the other party.
"No, it's impossible! How can a magic apprentice have such amazing magic power?" Lilith said in disbelief. Could it be that the person in front of her was really the reincarnation of the Demon King?
Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little shaken, Rhine struck while the iron was hot and said, "If you don't believe me, you can give a simple self-introduction in the language of the demons. You don't think a 4-year-old child can understand the language of the demons, do you?"
"My name is Lilith, I'm 15 years old. I come from a small tribe on the border of the Demon Realm. My mother is the daughter of the tribe leader, and my father is an ordinary human adventurer. Because of an accident, my mother and father gave birth to me, but in the demon tribe, marrying a human is an absolute taboo that cannot be violated, let alone giving birth to a child..."
"Stop, I'm not interested in your miserable life."
"You...you can speak the demon language?"
Because the automatic translation function of the system is like Doraemon's translation konjac, it is two-way. As long as the other party speaks to you in a certain language, your conversation will automatically be converted into the language spoken by the other party. The same effect works not only for language, but also for text. So when Lilith speaks the demon language, Rhine's reply will naturally become the demon language.
"I said I am the reincarnation of the Demon King. Although I have only awakened a part of my memory, I still have no problem speaking the demon language."
"Are you really the reincarnation of the Demon King?"
"Tell me, what happened to the demons after I disappeared." Rhine activated the eternal artifact on his body while speaking.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" After coming into contact with the aura of the eternal artifact on Rhine, Lilith believed it completely. It was a kind of vastness and greatness, antiquity and mystery that could not be described in words. It was a power that transcended the world and lasted forever.
"Answer me, why did the demons fall to this state?"
"Your Majesty, not long after you disappeared, the tribes had a serious civil war over who would lead the demons. The continental coalition forces, led by the brave, took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and eventually overthrew the rule of the demons."
"Because the continental coalition didn't know where His Majesty had gone, they didn't dare to kill all the demons. They just drove the demons to a corner of the continent and built a high wall across the southwest continent to completely trap the demons inside."
"I'd like to know why you are here? And how did you leave the Demon Realm?" The previous questions were just preparations, and this was the only question Rhine wanted to know.
"It's to find you, Your Majesty."
"Find me?"
"Shit, could the Demon King really be reincarnated?" Although Rhine appeared calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil.
Although he often heard rumors that the demons were ready to counterattack when he was in the empire, he never expected that these were not rumors but true. The demons had already infiltrated so deeply into the human race. You know, the free city-state area is nearly 20,000 kilometers away from the Demon God's territory.
"Yes, decades ago, the legendary high priest of the demon clan had already sensed that His Majesty's reincarnation would soon come to the world. It was not until one day three years ago that the high priest officially confirmed His Majesty's coming, but the location was in the human territory. For this reason, the high priest recruited a large number of demons in the demon realm, helped them suppress the demon blood in their bodies, and then let them sneak into the human territory to find His Majesty's reincarnation."
"Hiss~ How did you leave? How come the coalition forces didn't notice such a large-scale operation?"
"We left the Demon God Territory in three routes. One was by air, led by the Skeleton Dragon; one was by water, led by the Deep Sea Demon Whale; and one was by land, led by the high-ranking members of the Demon Clan who were planted in the coalition forces."
"How many people did you send?"
"Except for the old and the young, basically all the demons in the Demon Realm are out. Because the high priest promised that if the reincarnation of the Demon King can be found, the demon clan will officially recognize the demon as a member of the demon clan to commend the demon for his contribution to the demon clan."
"For a demon who has been living at the bottom of the demon realm and being persecuted by the demons, this is an offer that cannot be refused." Lilith felt lonely when she thought about how she was often ridiculed and isolated by other children in the tribe because of her identity as a demon when she was a child, and the disgusted expression on her grandfather's face when he looked at her.
Rhine seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that the position of demons was quite embarrassing. They were not popular with either the human race or the demon race.
"Your Majesty, please come back to the demon clan with me." Lilith pleaded. As long as Rhine could be brought back, the demons would be officially recognized by the demon council, which would ensure that the demons would no longer have to worry about becoming food for other demons.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
(Finally, it’s the 30th chapter, yay! I checked the word count and it’s exactly 294853441 words, so I set up a book club . Some detailed settings and outlines will be posted in the group, and it is not ruled out that there will be bonus chapters in the future.)
Chapter 101 The Kind Demon King?
Are you kidding? It's okay to fool the little girl, but if you really follow her back to the demon clan, wouldn't that be courting death?
Although thousands of years have passed, most of the demons of the same era as the Demon King have turned to dust, but what if there are still undead monsters like the Lich King, the Headless Horseman, and the zombies alive? Once exposed, it will be difficult to escape.
"No...I dare not..." Lilith was terrified.
"It's not that I don't want to go back, but I can't be sure whether the current demons are still loyal to me, because not all demons want me to go back."
"Your Majesty, you worry too much. The entire demon clan is looking forward to your return. How could there be a demon clan that doesn't want you to go back?" Lilith replied eagerly.
"You are still too naive. A person who existed thousands of years ago suddenly appeared one day and said he wanted to take over the entire demon clan. Just because the high priest said that this person was the reincarnation of the Demon King, all demons must submit to him. Do you think those arrogant demon kings will obey a little kid who is only a few years old?"
"Besides, have you ever heard of holding the emperor hostage to control the other lords? It means that a powerful demon king, in the name of the Demon God King, demands that the demon kings of other tribes must unite under his name. Otherwise, it would be against the orders of the Demon God King and the will of all demons. If this really happens, think about it. With my current strength, what can I do?"
"No, the demon kings of the Demon Council all respect your majesty very much. If someone dares to do this, the other demon kings will not stand idly by."
"You seem to be mistaken. What the Demon King respects is not the Demon God King, but his unrivaled martial power."
"In this world, only one's own strength is the hard truth, especially in the world of the demon clan where the strong prey on the weak. A demon king without strength is just a tool with value. The demon king can lead the demon clan not because of his title, but because he unified all the demon clan tribes and subdued all the demon kings, so he is called the demon king."
In fact, the demons were divided into "royalists", "neutrals" and "radicals" just as Rhine guessed.
The radical demons believed that the prophecy was bullshit, that even without the Demon King's leadership, the demons' accumulated strength was enough to counterattack humans, and that the appearance of the Demon King would trigger another internal conflict among the demons. To put it bluntly, they were afraid that the Demon King would come out to take advantage of them.
The royalist demons believed that only the appearance of the Demon King could lead the demons to greatness again. To put it bluntly, they were not optimistic about the demons' counterattack against humans.
The neutral faction does not take sides with either side, and will side with whoever wins. If the radical faction's plan goes smoothly, they will join the counterattack against humans. If it fails, they will turn to the Demon King.
"So it's not that I don't want to go back. You're letting a little kid lead the demon clan now. Can you expect all the demon kings to be convinced? No way, right? It's very difficult. Even if I go back to the demon clan with you now, I'll just be a puppet."
"As long as you can help me recover my strength, when I unify the demon clan, I will not only recognize the identity and status of the demons, but also seal the demon clan as the nobility of the demon clan." Rhine used emotion and reason to persuade them to rebel, no, he persuaded the demon girl in front of him.
"This..." Lilith hesitated. One was the promise made by the Demon Council, and the other was the promise made by the Demon King. Because it involved the future survival of all the demons, she felt that she could not make the decision.
"Um... can I tell the Lord Ruby Demon King what His Majesty said?"
Seeing Rhine's face darken, Lilith quickly explained, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although Lord Ruby Demon King is also a Demon King, her identity is a demon. It's just that because of her Demon King (Legendary) realm, everyone ignores her identity as a demon. This time, she submitted the plan to have demons sneak into human territory to search for the reincarnation of the Demon King to the Demon Council."
Seeing that Rhine's expression had eased a little, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief. "Lord Ruby Demon King is a very gentle and kind person. She knows that she cannot convince the demons to coexist peacefully with humans by her own strength, so she placed her hope on the Demon King. Because she thinks that the Demon King has reincarnated in the human territory, it is very likely that he has reincarnated as a human, so she feels confident that she can convince you."
"Fuck, where does this idealist come from? He is a demon, but he wants to coexist peacefully with humans? Or does he want the entire demon race to coexist peacefully with humans?" Rhine became interested in this somewhat weird demon king.
"Is she nearby too? Or can you contact her?" Rhine asked nervously.
You have to know that the Demon King is equivalent to a human legend, and with the combat power of the demons being able to fight one against three or four, one Demon King is equivalent to three or four legends. If this level of combat power appeared in the free city-state area, then the continental coalition and the church would be really incompetent.
"Because there is a legend stationed at every interval in the fortress on the high wall, it is impossible for the Demon King to leave the Demon Lord Territory. However, before we set out, we were equipped with ultra-long-distance communication props, but they can only be used once, so we can't use them easily unless it is absolutely necessary."
"I see. Since it can only be used once, I hope to have a personal meeting with the Ruby Demon King you mentioned."
"Okay, Your Majesty. But it will take some time to prepare for long-distance communication. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"How long will it take?" Rhine felt that he could afford to wait a few hours.
"The day when two moons appear in the same sky."
"Oh my god, that's still half a month?" This world is different from the Earth. It has three super-large natural satellites, but their orbital speeds are different. Except for the moon that is tidally locked, there will be two moons on the same day every month, and three moons on the same day every three years. These are astronomical phenomena unique to this world.
"Because this place is too far away from the Demon God's Territory, the communication equipment can only guarantee the quality of communication when there is sufficient moonlight." Lilith explained.
"Then get ready first, and come find me when you're ready."
"Your Majesty, you won't run away, will you?"
"If I wanted to run away, I wouldn't have come to you today. Besides, I have a question for you."
"Your Majesty, please ask."
"Since you have already left the Demon God Territory, why do you still have to obey the Demon Tribe? Anyway, as long as you hide, the Demon Tribe will not send people to look for you in a big way, right?"
"Because there are still thousands of demons left in the demon tribe. We can escape, but what should we do with them?"
"And we cannot betray Lord Ruby Demon King's trust in us, otherwise Lord Ruby Demon King, who is already unpopular in the Demon Council, will become the target of public criticism."
"I understand. I won't leave. Don't worry."
Through the brief exchange with Lilith, his opinion of the demons had slightly changed. Of course, this was limited to a small number of demons, such as the demon king who worked hard for the peaceful coexistence of demons and humans.

Chapter 102: Was I taken advantage of?
In order to understand everything when he meets the Ruby Demon King in half a month, Rhine has been frantically catching up on knowledge related to the demons in recent days.
Although the world revolves around the players, many plots and clues are hidden beneath the surface. If the players do not search or explore themselves, it is easy to miss some exciting developments.
The system will provide players with opportunities for rapid growth, but whether and how to seize the opportunity depends on the players themselves.
"If I hadn't discovered Lilith's identity as a demon, how would the world line develop?" Rhine sighed. He never thought that his casual digging would actually uncover a shocking secret.
Through communication with Lilith, we learned that the demons had begun to infiltrate human territory on a large scale several years ago.
The reason why demons can leave the Demon God's territory by land is not only because demons are difficult to distinguish from humans after their demon bloodline is suppressed, but also mainly because demons have infiltrated the high-level positions within the coalition forces.
Because the entire Demon Territory is surrounded by a huge high wall built by the continental coalition forces, there are terrifying and turbulent undercurrents near the coast, and the open sea is surrounded by several whirlpool currents that are larger than the whirlpool in front of the Gate of Justice in One Piece. Therefore, it is impossible for the demons to launch a large-scale attack from the sea.
The air route was guarded by the world's first air force dragon rider regiment sent by the Mesati Empire. In addition, the coalition forces also equipped the high walls with magic cannons, magic towers, giant enchanted crossbows... and other anti-aircraft equipment, which basically eliminated the possibility of the demons launching a large-scale attack from the air.
The most important thing is that 90% of the demons can neither fly nor swim, so if you want to break through the blockade, you can only attack by land.
The land route was guarded by the Continental Coalition, which was composed of soldiers from all races and countries on the continent. Not only did they have more than ten legends who took turns guarding the Devil Pass all year round, but they also had an impenetrable defense fortification as long as the Maginot Line.
But even so, there have been several incidents of demons breaking through the Demon Pass over the past few thousand years. Every counterattack by the demons would reshuffle the power of the continent's countries. For example, the empire where Rhine is located rose up due to the counterattack of the demons a thousand years ago.
Although the demons are terrifying, fortunately, the people of all races on the mainland are united and will eventually successfully defeat the Demon King under the leadership of the brave team, and thwart the demons' counterattacks time and time again. This is truly cause for celebration.
The only thing that concerned Rhine was that the entire team of brave warriors disappeared in the end. No one knew where they went, and no one had ever seen them again. All that remained in the world were their heroic deeds of saving the world.
After reading some books about humans and demons, Rhine always felt that there was a conspiracy. If there was no evidence, he would have suspected that the demons had colluded with the Continental Alliance or some of the high-ranking officials of the Continental Alliance. Every once in a while, the Alliance would let the demons out to reap some profits, and the demons would help their partners to reshuffle the human forces and change the current world situation.
However, this idea was too fantastic and shocking, so he just thought about it. After all, the performance of the mainland coalition was so bad that it was hard not to suspect that they were playing a fake match. Of course, it was also possible that they were simply too bad.
In the past few days, in addition to reading books, Rhine also upgraded his level to 40. However, because he wanted to get the reward for killing enemies at a higher level, he chose to stay at the same level. At least he didn't plan to do the job transfer task before the system was updated. Otherwise, once he became a magician, he would have to kill legends to get the 4x experience bonus.
Under Kizaru's instruction, Hedgehog-Head gradually began to master the basic application of light-based abilities, and under Rhine's guidance, he found his own path - the wave-particle duality of light.
Light has always been considered the smallest substance. Although it is the most special substance, it can be said that exploring the nature of light is equivalent to exploring the nature of matter. Historically, the entire physics revolves around whether matter is a wave or a particle.
If Hedgehog Head can develop in the direction of quantum mechanics, then his upper limit will definitely be unlimited. After all, there is an old saying that quantum mechanics is the best choice when it comes to dealing with things. Although it is just a joke, it also indirectly illustrates the infinite possibilities of quantum mechanics.
"Rhine, tomorrow is the weekend, why don't we go out and play?" Irena put down the book in her hand and suggested to Rhine.
"Going out to play? Aren't you going home for a visit?" Rhine asked in surprise.
The little girl was crying when we parted, and now that it's vacation time, why doesn't she go home first?
"There's nothing fun to do at home, and it only takes a day to go back and forth. It won't be too late to go back during the long vacation." Irena replied.
"Okay, then where do you want to go?" Thinking that he would be running away soon and might not see Irena for a while, Rhine agreed to her request.
The sound of trumpets and accordions rang out in the crowded town square. The sharp sound roared without any worries, and it could even be said that it added a layer of noise to the noise. Looking at the crowded town square, Rhine yawned while sitting on a chair outside the snack shop. "This life is so lazy. Can I really enjoy such a comfortable life?"
As to why he is here...it's because this is a country known as the country of desserts.
In the Free City-State area, almost every city-state has a main concept, and this country’s main concept is just as its name suggests, desserts.
There are several dessert shops representing this country gathered around a square alone. Whether it is macarons, tiramisu, chocolate or muffin cakes, there are shops selling these kinds of sweets everywhere in the country.
Those who dare to call themselves the country of desserts must have some skills. As far as Rhine knows, the desserts of this country are very popular in the entire Free City-State area, so there is an endless stream of merchants, travelers or tourists who come here from other countries to buy desserts. Whether they are buying goods, buying them as gifts or eating them themselves, it doesn't matter.
When Irena said she wanted to eat a lot of delicious desserts, Rhine thought of this place. Looking at Irena with a macaron in her left hand and a piece of tiramisu in her right hand, with a happy expression on her face, Rhine knew that he had made the right choice.
Rhine pointed at the corner of Irena's mouth, indicating that there was something on her mouth and asked her to wipe it off. Seeing that she still looked confused and didn't understand, he pointed at the corner of his own mouth again, indicating that there was cream there.
Who knew that Irena would suddenly come over and kiss him.
"Oh, shit, what are you doing?" Rhine was so scared that he jumped up from his chair, touched the corner of his mouth and pointed at Irena and asked.
