Chapter 117: Chapter 117: I came here for only three things
Yuffie can now explain things to herself, proving one thing.
Even people who haven't been to school have heard of the famous area of Syndicate, just like everyone knows about the empire.
The crown princess obviously thinks that he comes from "outside" and doesn't understand their world, which is why she spoke up.
In other words, "Teacher Reji appeared at the most appropriate time and place. Besides being a demon, I can't think of a second possibility."
"But I killed a demon just now," Reji asked with interest.
Yuffie shook her head: "For the sake of becoming the queen of Ilinor, all the royal family members, including my father became my sacrifices tonight. In comparison, I think Teacher Reji has been very merciful."
After saying all this, the crown princess sighed, shaking her head somewhat regretfully and muttering to herself: "I forgot to ask Konstantin earlier, what if the Son of Destiny is a demon, what should be done?"
As if to prove Yuffie's guess, terrifying figures began to appear one after another in the night sky above the King's Tower. They were the disciples who had discovered that the holy sword had gone out and the ghosts had disappeared.
Yuffie looked around and saw behind Reji a demon with blades for limbs, a demon with giant claws and blood-red body, the snake-eyed sorcerer who seemed to have been seriously injured and fled earlier, and Shermen, who slowly appeared from Reji's shadow and hid in the darkness.
Of course, there was also a female demon with a cold gaze and ram horns on her head, and a little girl-like figure dragging something similar to a "cocoon" behind her.
The crown princess looked again, and the person wrapped in the cocoon, who could only roll his eyes in terror, was none other than the imperial envoy.
So this is the demon race?
"So, Teacher Reji, what do you want the small Ilinor to do for the demon race?" Yuffie asked proactively.
For her, there was no difference, it was just a matter of being dominated by the empire or by the demon race.
But Reji's next words made the crown princess pause for the first time.
"I only want Ilinor to do three things."
"Fairness."
"Fairness."
"And fairness."
Yuffie was speechless, and even doubted her own ears. She originally thought that what Reji would emphasize first was to make Ilinor bleed heavily, provide all resources to the demon race, or use her as a puppet to seize power.
But how could she have imagined that the man in front of her would only say "fairness"?
Yuffie was puzzled and shocked, and the Apostles behind Reji also did not understand.
Hektor, the great demon, couldn't help but poked the wise demon next to him, as if asking him to explain the king's meaning.
The other Apostles also turned their eyes to the wisdom demon Leo, after all, he was the one who could best "understand" the king here.
Leo shook his head. It was not that he didn't understand, he immediately understood the demon king's meaning. Leo was just anxious about the stupidity of the other Apostles.
"For humans, class contradictions are greater than racial contradictions. Moreover, after a thousand years, the image of the demon race has long been forgotten and faded by humans. With this move by his majesty, he can easily gain the loyalty of countless humans to us without drawing a blade.
His majesty wants the demon race to become the object of the people's hearts and the focus of their aspirations."
The wisdom demon sighed again. Compared with the brainwashing of the wicked demon, the demon king's method of turning enemies into friends was so elegant and comfortable for the demons. This was wisdom, not simple and crude brainwashing.
The other Apostles finally understood. Although they didn't fully understand, they got the general idea. The demon king not only wanted to enslave humans, but also wanted humans to willingly be enslaved.
As expected of his majesty, so malicious.
But on the other side, the succubus Eileen curled her lips. She seemed a little dissatisfied with Leo's stealing the limelight. As the demon king's woman, how could she lose to the wisdom demon.
"Eris, don't listen to him. In fact, the king's true meaning is that all beings are equal under the demon race."
"What does 'all beings equal' mean, Eris doesn't understand."
"It means you can eat seafood congee, and others can too." Eileen explained simply.
"Wahhh~, Eris likes this kind of world. Everyone come and drink seafood soup and share food fairly, hehe~."
...
How to deal with Ilinor was actually a small matter for the demon race.
Now, they still had a big issue to resolve within their own ranks.
After a demon servant took Yuffie away, only the demon king and the apostles remained. Regarding the matter of Reji killing the wicked demon, Eileen came forward first.
"My King, I just found this on Lordan's body."
A book emitting a halo floated in Eileen's hand.
The power and mysterious aura contained within, in this world, only one kind of artifact possesses it.
The Saving Relic.
Indeed, Reji had already sensed it, and it was also one of the reasons why he was able to kill the Wicked Demon without hesitation.
The next question then became, why was this relic was on the Wicked Demon's body.
"Eris has...discovered!"
The Decay Demon released the imperial envoy from the cocoon. In the presence of all these evil people, no, all these demons, Kasm no longer dared to hide anything and revealed everything he knew, such as the dealings between the Grand Sage and the Wicked Demon.
The Grand Sage is the claw of the empire, similar to a national teacher, and there are a total of five.
Unfortunately, regarding which of the five "Grand Sages" was in contact with the Wicked Demon, Kasm was completely ignorant. It was clear that he was just a pawn and had no more information.
However, no matter what, the fact that the Wicked Demon had been in contact with humans and the empire behind their backs had been proven.
"Your Majesty, the Wicked Demon clan has been completely controlled, but..."
The Wisdom Demon was now half-kneeling on the ground, filled with regret for his failure to do his job.
As the Wisdom Demon, he had not discovered the traitors within the demon race, and instead, it was the demon king who had to clean up. This was simply the greatest shame.
"Lordan escaped from the Chaos Rift, didn't he?"
"Yes, but Your Majesty has destroyed his projection, and Lordan has suffered heavy injuries. It is difficult for him to use magic again, and it is impossible for him to run far. My King, I beg you to entrust the task of capturing the Wicked Demon to me."
The Wisdom Demon took the initiative to ask for punishment. Indeed, the old and cowardly Wicked Demon had descended in the form of a projection, so what Reji had killed was also a projection, not the real body.
The real body of the Wicked Demon's Apostles, Lordan, although his power was weak among the Apostles, was not something that Reji could kill alone at present.
However, there is no need to worry.
When Reji first descended, he did not have enough prestige, so he delayed, but now, no matter which Apostles, they all had no objection to his decision to remove the Wicked Demon.
As long as he wanted, Lordan could die now, and he could not escape the pursuit of the six Apostles, let alone the fact that his projection had been destroyed, his spirit was severely injured, and he was in a state of "magic silence" as a demon.
However, Reji still shook his head.
He signaled to Leo not to rush.
They knew that Lordan was more aware of his certain death, but given the Wicked Demon's personality, he must still want to struggle and find that thin line of life that might hold him back.
As for this "bait," Reji had already deliberately thrown it out.
It remained to be seen whether Lordan would take the bait.
Under the known enemy forces in the dark, the power of the demon race could not be reduced.
Since an Apostle had been reduced, the "Sixth Apostles" position that was vacated
Naturally, it had to be filled by a newcomer.
