What do you guys think about this setting about demons?

Chapter 186 Kennan

"Hey, little guy."

"You're the short one!"

"Okay then, but why am I, a small person, at least 50 centimeters taller than you?"

"Only brainless people chase height, just like panting fish only see small shrimps. A truly strong person should be like Lord Ryan. He looks like a pretty boy who can only seduce women, but he possesses great strength!

"Oh, guess what? Such a great Lord Ryan once slept in my house, and he even ate noodles cooked by my grandma himself! Perhaps many, many years later, my grandma will become part of the story because of this!"

Ignat stared blankly at the boy with a face full of longing. After hesitating for a moment, he reminded him, "Do you really think Ryan would be happy if you described him like this?"

"Which one? Will it become a story many, many years later?" the boy asked.

"You said he looked like a gigolo who only knew how to seduce women."

"Hey, I knew you were stupid!" The boy looked at Ignat and asked, "Under what circumstances do people usually say someone looks like a gigolo?"

"When... a pretty boy appears?"

"Who's saying that?"

"Those who saw the pretty boy?"

"You're only half right. It's those people who see that pretty boys can easily be welcomed by women, but they can only be helpless and furious, standing in the dark with envy and jealousy!" The boy's tender face seemed to have seen through the world long ago.

"The pretty boy himself wouldn't be angry about this because he knows that others are jealous of his handsomeness and charm. This kind of jealousy is the most direct and far more genuine praise than those exaggerated compliments!"

"This..." Ignat looked at the boy and suddenly felt that what he said seemed to be okay.

He didn't feel like he was being outdone by a kid, but instead asked, "Have you really changed your mind like that?"

After Hela told all the believers that it was Ryan who exorcised the "evil spirit" for them, and formally recited a string of loud titles of Ryan.

The ones who reacted most strongly were not the church members...they were indeed surprised to be rescued.

But their emotions were far less intense than the boy's. After all, the temple was located in a remote area, and their duties prevented them from paying too much attention to what major events were happening in the material world.

But boys are different...

The stories about Ryan arrived in the seaside town before Ignat did.

No one knows how to 'market' better than artists.

After learning Lion's story and experience, Comet simply embellished it and spread it to every corner of Ionia.

Seaside towns, where new people and new ideas appear every day, are most susceptible to new stories.

Boys happen to be at the age when they are most interested in the future, or in legends.

He had been deeply immersed in the stories since he first heard them from the bard.

With the combined effects of all these, the boy, upon learning that Ryan was the legendary incarnation of darkness, immediately slapped his head and decided that his future faith would be darkness!

"What attitude have I changed?"

"Aren't you going to be your grandmother's pride anymore? What darkness are you going to embrace?"

"Who says I can't be grandma's pride if I embrace the darkness?" The boy felt that Ignat didn't understand him.

Ignat was too lazy to bother with a 'child'. "It's hard for me to imagine what a small person like you can do."

"Why can't the little guy do anything?"

The boy wanted to retort.

Just at this moment, a galloping figure appeared in the distance.

The boy saw him out of the corner of his eye, his height and speed immediately drawing his attention.

"Look..." The boy pointed at the figure, "He's much shorter than me, but he's quite fast. In just a few blinks, he..."

He suddenly felt his lips go numb.

Then it seemed like an illusion.

The clouds in the sky suddenly dropped a lot, and blue thunder flashed among the dark clouds.

"Boom!"

The moment the thunder exploded.

The boy saw a figure in front of him.

"Who are you calling short?"

The furry paws lifted the brim of the cloak, revealing a pair of purple eyes and eye sockets covered with fur like the paws.

"I said......"

The boy was a little speechless.

Even though he didn't know who the Yodel in front of him was before, he learned a lot from other believers in the past three days.

Kennan.

One of the highest-ranking leaders of the Order of the Balance.

A living fossil that has survived for nearly ten thousand years.

It is also the strongest shield protecting the equilibrium.

"He's talking about himself." Ignat tried to help the boy.

But Kenan wasn't really angry about this. He looked at the boy and smiled. "This sentence reminds me of a friend."

"Oh, so he is also short?" the boy asked inexplicably.

"It's not small for a Yodel..." Kanan looked at the boy carefully, "but for you humans, it's probably a little shorter than you."

"......" The boy's intelligence finally returned to its peak, and he chose to remain silent at this time.

"Are you interested in joining the Balance?" Kenan handed over the invitation. Thousands of years of experience allowed him to see that this boy was a good candidate.

"Sorry, I already have someone to follow."

"That's a pity..." Kenan didn't force it.

It looked past the boy and Ignat and saw a group of people slowly approaching from behind.

Hela led all the believers to the outside of the temple to welcome them. This was the highest level of welcome ceremony within the Order of the Balance.

Kenan's eyes swept over everyone, and the dodging of more than ten pairs of eyes made him vaguely guess something.

A subtle flash of lightning flashed between its eyes. The black smoke it had seen countless times did not appear on the followers, so...

Kenan finally set his sights on a young man, and balanced information transmission could only come with simple information.

But it believed that the story of this temple must be related to the young man specifically mentioned in the message...

"Let's go inside and talk first."

Kenan said to Hela.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to hide his panic, "Please, Lord Kenan."

The believers surrounded Kenan and entered the temple.

The entire process was silent. The oppressive atmosphere was like a thick slab of rock, blocking the hearts of all the believers.

A certain gap.

The short figure suddenly stopped, raised its head and looked at the cautious believers around it, and said, "Someone once told me that telling stories means lying..."

The beginning of these words made the congregants hold their breath.

"...But not long ago I met a young woman who told me that some lies are well-intentioned." Kenan looked at the believers around him, "You all should go about your own business. The equilibrium will be with you."

"call."

At the moment when all the believers relaxed.

Kenan looked at Hela and Ryan, "If you can, please tell me what happened."

Chapter 187 Guarding the Sunset

In the closed but not dark room, the light of the lantern bug illuminated the faces of the three people.

The followers of the Order of the Balance have a habit of rarely putting themselves in complete darkness.

This habit is the experience summed up by countless predecessors with blood and tears... They told the later generations that darkness will weaken everyone's will, allowing evil spirits to take advantage of the situation and sneak in.

But at this moment, Kenan and Hela looked at Ryan who was sitting not far away.

This young man, who always had a warm smile on his face, made them realize that the world seemed to have really changed in ways they had never noticed.

Those believers and ancestors who were led astray by darkness might never have imagined that one day in the future, "darkness" would stand on the same side as them.

At least in Kennan's thousands of years of life, such an outrageous fantasy had never been born for even a second.

But in Hela's description not long ago, and in the young friend's narration some time earlier, this unrealistic thing did happen.

The Darkness not only lent a helping hand to those sects and temples it was familiar with, but also participated in and led the internal changes of the Brotherhood... and even today it expelled evil spirits for the followers of the Order of the Balance.

"I need some quiet time."

Kenan sat on a short bench, and even the hair on his cheeks that peeked out from the edge of the mask was tinged with confusion.

Ryan sat still.

If ordinary people only need to update their cognition from the past few decades to change outdated ideas, then the steps that Yodels need to take to step out of their former selves... no, that gap can no longer be described by steps.

Given that long lifespan, this distance is enough to span several periods of history.

Hela stood up, although she was nominally the chief of this temple and the controller.

But in front of Kenan and Ryan, she knew that she was the redundant one.

The woman was sensible and had a good grasp of the situation. She gathered her words and said, "I'll go coordinate the follow-up work first..."

Kenan raised his head, looked at the woman and smiled, "Yes, those believers who were injured in the fight against the evil spirits are temporarily unable to fulfill their duties. Let them rest well."

"Yes!"

Hela promised solemnly.

Although Kenan had hinted in front of the believers before that it would not expel everyone like the Temple of Lesha.

But the effect of suggestion is far less than that of explicit indication today.

This 'disaster' is finally over.

Hela, obviously relieved, slowly backed away. As she turned around to close the door, she gave Ryan a look.

There was a 'deal' between the two, and Ryan needed to help her convince Kenan.

After all, I got away with it this time, but what about next time?

As Ryan said, if you want to solve the problem, you must first solve the mindset.

After Hela left, the lantern worm's light did not spread more to the other two people.

In the thin light, Kenan did fall into thought, but not for long.

"So we are indeed partners now?" It raised its sparkling eyes and looked at Ryan.

"We do have the same goal now." Ryan took out the dart, handed it to Kenan and told him about Barue.

This time Kenan fell into a longer silence.

Ryan had thought about talking about each one of them one by one, but in the end he decided to let the Yodel know the full information first before discussing the specific issues.

After all, from a selfish perspective, when there is a clear external pressure, it is easier to reach internal consensus.

Llane has never been a perfectionist, so for him, this trip was a complete victory, whether it was achieving cooperation to fight against the Protoss or realizing the transformation of the Order of the Balance.

If both can be achieved...then add dinner tonight!

The Yodel woke up from his thoughts, and his small body seemed to be under great pressure at this moment, so that his voice became low.

"So which one should we talk about first?"
