Why do the two of them look like they are forcing themselves to smile?
"Lilith, please step aside for a moment. I have something important to discuss with His Majesty the Demon King alone." The Ruby Demon King said to Lilith.
"Yes, Master Hongyu."
"Your Majesty Rhine, you can call me anytime if you need anything. I'll be waiting outside the door." Before leaving, Lilith bowed to Rhine and the Ruby Demon King respectively. They were both people she respected very much.
"Tell me, who are you?" After Lilith was no longer present, the Ruby Devil went straight to the point.
"I said I'm the Demon King." As long as you're thick-skinned enough, you can lie without blushing.
"Do you think I would believe it? Don't treat me like a teenager like Lilith. I won't be fooled so easily."
"Oh~ How old are you?" Rhine remembered that in the original book, the Ruby Demon King seemed to be at least 150 years old. This is more than just a big car, it is clearly an old car.
"Don't you know that age is a woman's biggest secret?"
"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. I think you would rather communicate with the hero than the Demon King?" Rhine said bluntly. You know, in the original book, she, the Demon King, has been waiting for the arrival of the hero.
"Are you a hero?" When hearing the word hero, the Ruby Demon King's eyes sparkled like rubies.
"In a sense, it is." He was not pretending this time, because if the plot progressed to the version where the demons counterattacked humans, then as a player, he would most likely become a brave warrior who defeated the demons.
"Are you really a hero?" Ruby Demon King asked with some anticipation.
"No, actually I am the Demon King."
"Excuse me, can I take it that you are kidding me? Don't forget that you are facing a demon king now!" The Ruby Demon King reminded with a smile.
Rhine did not refute, but stood up and took a few steps back so that his entire body could be seen by the Ruby Demon King.
"If I am neither a hero nor a demon king, then who do you think I would be?" Rhine turned around while speaking, fully showing off his tiny four-year-old body.
"Little boy, how old are you?" It was only then that the Ruby Demon Queen began to look at Rhine. She had not realized that the person she was talking to was a little kid. It could only be said that Rhine's way of speaking was too sophisticated, and it didn't sound like a 4-year-old child at all.
"Four years old~ But I awakened about a month ago."
"Although Lilith is very young, you don't really think that a four-year-old child can fool her, do you?"
"Before you question my identity, why don't you verify it with your little fangirl?"
"And what you've been speaking to me from now on is the demon language, right? Don't you think it's strange that a 4-year-old human child can master the demon language fluently?"
Under Rhine's series of questions, the Ruby Demon King was a little confused.
"Wait a minute... Are you really the Demon King? How do you prove it?"
"You might not believe what I say, so I suggest you let your little fangirl tell you."
At Rhine's call, Lilith entered the room again.
"Your Demon King doesn't seem to believe that I am the Demon King, so she wants to ask you some questions in person." Rhine made a gesture of invitation to the Ruby Demon King.
"Lilith, you said he is the Demon King. Do you have any evidence to prove it?" The Ruby Demon King stopped acting and questioned directly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive Lady Hongyu's rudeness. After all, she could not experience Your Majesty's boundless greatness on the spot like I did." Lilith apologized to Rhine. It seemed that the ancient and long-lasting aura of the Eternal Artifact had left a deep impression in her mind.
"Lord Hongyu, I have three pieces of evidence to prove that His Majesty Rhine is the reincarnation of the Demon King."
"First, Her Majesty Rhine has recovered to the strength of a great witch in less than a month after awakening. I can prove this."
“Wait, a 4-year-old already has the fighting power of a great witch???” The Ruby Demon King thought for a moment that she had misheard, because this would make her seem so stupid for someone who had spent hundreds of years trying to break through to the legendary level.
"Yes, I can prove it. Lord Hongyu should know that my racial talent has a unique advantage in detecting unknown crises, and the sense of danger and oppression that Your Majesty gives me has even exceeded that of the Dean of the Academy who is the Great Witch. I think as long as Your Majesty is serious, I may not be able to take even a single move." Lilith said.
"Second, His Majesty Rhine is only at the level of a magic apprentice, but his magic power reserves have exceeded that of most high-level witches. The genetic defects of human males make it almost impossible for male mages to reach the level of witches, not to mention that His Majesty's magic power exceeds that of most high-level witches. From this point, I can conclude that His Majesty is not human."
"???"
"And your majesty is only a magic apprentice now. If your majesty can recover to his heyday... the vastness of the magic power is beyond my imagination."
"Third, His Majesty Rhine is not only proficient in the common language of the demons, but also in Dragon Language, High Elf Language, Orc Language, Ancient Language, God's Language, and other long-lost languages. This is simply not something a 4-year-old child can master, but it is by no means impossible for the great Demon King."
"If His Majesty Rhine is not the reincarnation of the Demon King, I really can't explain why these impossible things happened to a child."
After listening to Lilith's narration, the Ruby Devil fell silent.
After a while, the Ruby Demon King was radiant and his eyes were full of admiration.
"Very good, from today on you are the Demon King of our demon clan."
"May I ask when can your Majesty come to the Demon Realm? The sooner the better."
"Also, does your majesty really know the language of the High Elf and the language of the Age of Gods? I mean the language of the Age of Gods that has long been lost in the world." The Ruby Demon King became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally blurted out: "Your majesty, please let me be yours!"
What is covering my eyes?
Rhine: “???”
(I will update one chapter first. I originally planned to wait until the reward was over before reading it, but it’s almost time. Friends who keep reading, please remember to turn on the automatic subscription. Thank you.)
Chapter 111: The lie was exposed early on
"Is it so casual?" Rhine found it a little unbelievable.
"Not casually, not casually at all. We went through untold hardships to find His Majesty the Demon King." The Ruby Demon King corrected.
"Forget it, I'm not the Demon King you're looking for. You should seek help from someone else."
"No, no, no, I am the person in charge of this plan. If I say you are the Demon King, then you are the Demon King. So, Your Majesty, when do you plan to return to the Demon Realm to meet your people? I am looking forward to meeting Your Majesty."
"Are you serious?" Rhine was not stupid. He could certainly see that the Ruby Demon King didn't care at all whether he was the real Demon King or not.
Because when Lilith was describing the first two pieces of evidence, the Ruby Demon King had a calm face, as if he was not interested at all, until Lilith said that he knew all kinds of languages, including the language of the Age of Gods, and she immediately changed like a different person. Even a fool could see that she came here for the skills she had mastered.
“Very serious!”
"Forget it. I'm afraid I won't be able to come out if I go. What's more, my current strength is not enough to participate in the factional disputes among the demons. Even if I go, I will just be a puppet." Rhine declined the invitation to the banquet from the Ruby Demon King.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that you intend to lead the demons, but not now?"
"I guess so. I will consider going to the Demon Realm when I reach the peak of Legend or God Realm."
After hearing Rhine's reply, the Ruby Demon King was stunned for a moment before reacting. "So you are really the Demon King and not the Hero?"
"So you still don't believe that I am the Demon King?"
"I believe it a little bit now, but no matter whether you are the Demon King or not, I still want to meet you." The Ruby Demon King said sincerely.
"Don't rush to refuse. If you are really the Demon King, you should accept me. Because I am the 43rd Demon King of the Eastern Demon Realm. I can fully support you in completing the unification of the demons on behalf of all the demons in the east. I can also persuade the conservative northern royal family to join you, so that you can take over half of the demons."
"And I believe that as long as you use the Demon King's call, even if the royal families in the south and west do not obey, some of the tribes under their rule who are loyal to the Demon King will turn to follow you. Conservatively, you can get the support of two-thirds of the demons in the Demon Realm."
As expected of the devil who plays politics, he is really good at drawing big plans. Rhine heard that he can't wait to go to the Demon Realm to unify the demons. The only pity is that he has a brain.
"As far as I know, it has been more than 6,000 years since the Demon King's time. How can he still have such great appeal now?"
"Big, of course it's big, bigger than you can imagine. You should know that the Demon King is not only the first Demon King to unify all the demon tribes, but also the Demon King who led the demons to create the Demon God Era. His combat power is unrivaled in the world and he can overwhelm all the masters in the world. One person is an era." (The person here refers to the quantifier, not the race.)
"The Demon Clan was able to achieve its status as the overlord of the era because of the rule of the Demon King. It can be said that the Demon King is the backbone of the entire Demon Clan. This is also the fundamental reason why the Demon Clan's rule was overthrown within a few hundred years after the Demon King disappeared."
"Although there were demon kings who accomplished the great cause of unifying the demon race in later generations, they all regarded themselves as demon gods. This was not only a respect for the demon kings, but also a spur to themselves, reminding them to restore the glory of the demon race. Therefore, whenever a demon god appeared in the demon race, they would launch a counterattack against humans."
"In the past few thousand years, there have been a total of five demon gods in the demon clan, four of which have broken through the Demon God Pass, and the one with the greatest success has even conquered half of the continent. However, the human side has always been able to turn the tide in times of crisis, either by giving birth to heroes who are able to rival the demon gods, or by summoning heroes from other worlds."
"Failure after failure made the last demon king realize that, just like the gods, Titans, dragons, and high elves, the era of the demons has passed. The demons are not fighting against humans, but against the times. Now is the era of humans, the era of humans."
"So the demon god did not devote himself to breaking through the Demon God Pass, but led most of the demons to other continents to find a place suitable for the demons to survive."
"I see. No wonder the demons have been silent for so long. It turns out they went to wreak havoc on other continents." Although Rhine had read quite a lot of "history books", the secrets that the Ruby Demon King told him were things he had never seen in any book.
"But that shouldn't be the case. Such a large-scale operation would be impossible for the continental coalition forces to fail to detect."
"I found out, but they didn't stop it. Instead of going into a full-scale war with the demons, it's better to let them go. As long as they don't threaten them, it's none of their business where the demons go. It's better to say that the more demons leave, the less threat the remaining demons will pose to humans."
"So the main force of the demon clan has already moved away, and the demons left in the Demon Realm are the old, weak, sick and disabled who were not taken away by the last demon god?"
"You can understand it this way. After all, crossing the endless ocean to other continents is a very dangerous thing. The Demon God can't take away all the demons. But the Demon God once left a message like this before he left."
"Although I am not a god who is proficient in prophecy, I was able to glimpse a corner of the future at the cost of burning my life. But the secret cannot be revealed, so I cannot tell you what I saw. I have not abandoned you, but I have to go and cheer for the birth of the new king. The battlefield of the demons is not on this continent, and the fate of the demons does not belong to this world. Wait, look forward to it. Under the leadership of the Demon King, the demons will usher in unprecedented glory."
"It's so weird, and yet they're cheering for the birth of the new king... Why does it feel like I'm watching the CG of a version before the game was updated?" Rhine couldn't help but complain in his heart after hearing this.
"So it wasn't because of my proposal or the high priest's prophecy that the Demon Council passed the resolution to find the reincarnation of the Demon King. It was because this was the prophecy left by the previous Demon King when he left. The high priest just confirmed the time when the Demon King would appear."
"Wait a minute, the words that the demon said when he left didn't mention that he was the reincarnation of the demon king."
"I haven't said that, but think about it. If there is no title of reincarnation of the Demon King, then wouldn't the child born in the human territory be just a simple human? Letting humans lead the demons, do you think those old guys would be willing? But if it is the reincarnation of the Demon King, it will be different."
"So when you say you are the reincarnation of the Demon King and that you have awakened your memories, I will say you are lying, because there is no such thing as the reincarnation of the Demon King from the beginning to the end."
Rhine: “…”
After acting for so long, he is the real clown.
(I am about to throw up. I woke up and found that I owe 12 chapters. I only prepared 5 chapters in reserve. This chapter is to pay off my debt. I still owe 10 chapters. Please recommend and vote for me.)
Chapter 112 Just wait, I'll come find you
"So the key to the problem is not whether you are the real Demon King, but how I can convince them that you are the Demon King." The Red Jade Demon King pointed out the key point of the whole matter.
"Since you already know that I am not the Demon King, why do you still support me?" Rhine asked.
"Because you are human. This eliminates the possibility of an all-out war between demons and humans."
"Because of your potential. At the age of four, you have already shown a fighting power that rivals that of the Great Witch. It is hard to imagine how strong you will be when you grow up."
"Because of the language you master. The secret realm I control is called the "Great Library of the Void" or the "Great Library of the Outside World". It is one of the products of civilization from the High Elves Era. It not only contains all the books from the High Elves Era, but also many books from other eras, including the Age of Gods when the gods were alive."
"Even in the core area of the secret realm, the high elves have carved a dimensional array that can cross the world, so that the bookshelves in the core area will be updated from time to time with books from other worlds. This is probably the origin of the meaning of "outside library."
"Did you learn those methods of hybrid breeding and scientific pig farming from books from other worlds in the outside library?" Rhine asked curiously.
Because the Ruby Demon King in the original work did indeed master knowledge that was ahead of the world in the library of the outside world, and used the economics knowledge she learned to explain and analyze the war. She also carried out a series of agricultural and technological reforms in human society, advocated and implemented national education. To sum it up in one sentence, she is a fierce woman sent from the sky.
"Yes. But these books from another world cannot be taken out of the magic circle, otherwise they will disappear directly. I think this is because these books are just projections, and the magic circle is equivalent to the catalyst of the projection, so the books will disappear as soon as they leave the projection range of the magic circle."
"It sounds a bit like AR projection technology, but the high elves' projection technology is so advanced that it can project entities?" Rhine once again marveled at the advanced technology of the High Elves' era.
"Do you know what is the most painful thing for a scholar?" Ruby Devil suddenly asked. "It is that there are so many books in front of me, but I miss them again and again because I don't know the words on them."
"Can't you just copy it down first and then study it slowly?"
"You can't copy it. No matter what method you use to copy the contents of the book, a box saying "Copyright reserved, do not copy" will always pop up in front of you, blocking your view." The Ruby Demon King said angrily.
"Wait, haven't you already conquered the secret realm? Why don't you have the permission yet?"
"I never said that I conquered the secret realm. They just spread it on their own."
"I just passed the library entrance exam by accident and got a library card. With this card, I can freely enter and exit most areas of the library. I can also control the brightness and temperature of the library, and give simple commands to the puppets in the secret realm, etc."
"Somehow, in their mouths, it became that I can enter and exit any place in the secret realm at will, can mobilize the authority of the secret realm at will, and can also command the puppets in the secret realm..."
Well, after listening to it, Rhine quickly understood what was going on. The Ruby Demon King obtained the most common user permissions, not the administrator permissions, so he could not copy the contents of the book. As for controlling the brightness and temperature, aren't these just adjusting the indoor lights and the temperature of the air conditioner? The so-called puppets should be service robots, right?
"I roughly understand what you mean. You want me to help you translate the contents of those books? But you said they were books from another world, why do you think I can understand them?" If he was just asked to translate the language of the Age of Gods or the language of the Dragon Clan, he could understand them, but why did the other party even conclude that he could translate the language of another world? Although he could translate it.
"Because the language of the Age of Gods had been lost for millions of years, even scholars of the High Elves era were unable to decipher it, but they still translated many books. Because there are various kinds of protection in this world, including language protection. Some people can listen to the voices of all things (animals, plants) and communicate with them; some people have never been exposed to the languages and writings of other civilizations but can understand their meanings; some people have never learned the languages of other races but can speak them fluently when communicating with them."
"At the age of four, you were able to master a variety of languages, including Demonic Language, Human Language, Beast Language, Ancient Language, High Elf Language, Dragon Language, and even the completely lost Language of Gods. Doesn't it clearly show that you possess the blessing of languages?" The Ruby Demon King thought he had guessed the correct answer?
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!!!" Rhine liked people who automatically filled in the blanks for him, without him even having to explain. "I do have a protection that allows me to understand all languages."
"I knew it! So I'm sure you are the Demon King I'm looking for! As long as we have your [Interpretation], combined with the knowledge of the "Outer Library", we will be able to create a beautiful world, a world without war, a world where everyone can have enough food."
"Your ideals are really great... I have high hopes for you." But Rhine didn't say the second half of the sentence, which was "but I don't agree with it." Because wherever there are people, there will be war, unless we build a utopian world, but utopia is also an anti-human society in a sense, which means losing humanity.
"So your majesty, are you willing to help me?"
"I'm willing, so what do you need me to do?"
"Become the Demon King, unify the demon clan, avoid an all-out war between humans and demons, find a way to eliminate the barriers between humans and demons, let humans and demons coexist peacefully, and create a better future together." The Ruby Demon King said seriously.
"Your request is a bit difficult." The hatred between humans and demons has lasted for tens of thousands of years. They have been fighting each other since the chaotic era after the end of the High Elves Era. In addition, after the demons created the Demon God Era, humans were completely enslaved. Every time the demons counterattack, the entire continent is devastated. This is no longer just a blood feud, but a life-and-death struggle.
The reason why humans have not yet wiped out the demons is entirely due to comprehensive considerations of the interests of all parties, and is definitely not due to human kindness. Simply put, humans need a common enemy to unite themselves so that they will not consume human power due to a large-scale civil war. The demons play the role of maintaining the balance of human forces.
Therefore, even if the demons want to coexist peacefully with humans, humans will never agree.
"But it's not unacceptable, provided you do me a favor first."
