As for what Xia Duo said about being able to persuade some demon mages to give up the power of the abyss, of course he was not just talking nonsense, but when the alliance conducted a comprehensive inspection of the demons before, they had done research on the demons' views on their own bloodline.
A considerable number of demon mages who have controlled their bloodlines through mana magic still say that they would rather lose their power than have their current bloodline.
The reason is not difficult to guess. On the one hand, even though the demon descendants have now obtained legal status recognized by the alliance, the prejudice will not be eliminated instantly. This is the reason why many demon descendants still do not appear in public places.
Eliminating the demon bloodline will objectively help the demons integrate into the current Northland.
On the other hand, it's more about the fact that even if you master the bloodline, it's still difficult to give birth to your own children. The devil's bloodline is extremely chaotic.
Even if there are two demon couples with exactly the same blood, and they both control their own blood, they still cannot give birth to their own children normally, and they still need to try their luck, but their luck will be better than other demon couples.
That's all.
The tradition of elves is to value family. They value family even more than the country they live in. The demons in the past did not form a new racial culture. They were hidden in the elf society, and their ideas were not much different from ordinary elves.
The biggest wish of many demons in their lives is to have their own children. This wish is easy for ordinary elves, but for demons, it is undoubtedly a luxury wish.
But now, if they are given the opportunity to remove the demon blood, many demons will not care about the power and longevity brought by the demon blood for the sake of their children.
Although the elves are objectively very long-lived, their concept of life and death is completely different from short-lived humans. They have a real afterlife and a new life after death.
At this point, it is the short-lived human beings who pay more attention to this world.
It is true that there are some elven mages who transform themselves into demons because they want to live longer, but these are still a minority after all, and only exist among a few high-ranking people.
According to the alliance's investigation, many demon mages became demons because they were "forced to death", either because they were accidentally infected with the power of the abyss and were unable to purify themselves, or because they were coerced by the Illuminati in the name of their families.
In this case, they also had to accept the transformation ritual of the Illuminati. In the past, demons were always shouted out by everyone in the North, and (elves) countries have never stopped attacking demons.
Once transformed into a demon, the only way left is to work wholeheartedly for the Illuminati, and the possibility of exposing the Illuminati through surrender is basically non-existent.
Not to mention, the Illuminati controls the demons through its subordinate secret hall organizations. First of all, there is a layer of separation. Even if the demon mages want to surrender and report, they cannot report the Illuminati.
Furthermore, most of the core members of the Illuminati hold high positions in the North. For example, the Moon Shadow family, as a high-ranking family, also has seats in the Ellan Gaoshu Council of Elders and has actual power.
There are also independent existences like Daphne, who also have energy that is unimaginable to ordinary elf mages.
If you report someone so unprepared, who knows if the elf who finally accepted the report is a hidden member of the Illuminati? Isn't this a typical "who is this person and why are you suing me?"
It is precisely because many demon descendants were forced to transform into demon descendants, and after the efforts of all parties, the alliance finally recognized the legal status of demon descendants in the North.
If this were not the case, even Xia Duo would not have much sympathy for the demon descendants. He did sympathize with the demon descendants who were victims of the abyssal aura in ancient wars, but those demon descendants had basically nothing to do with the current demon descendants.
Even if there is a relationship, can the grievances suffered by our ancestors become a reason for future generations to become anti-social?
In fact, the demons recognized by the alliance as having legal status do not include those with too many blood debts on their hands. Only those demons who have participated in the Illuminati's actions lightly and have no blood debts can receive pardon and subsequent legal status.
No matter how tolerant the alliance is, it is impossible to accept those demons with innocent blood on their hands to join the alliance. This is not only the bottom line of the alliance, but also the bottom line of Xia Duo.
…
Regarding the purification plan, Divine Envoy Rich had already made plans. He told Xia Duo: "I have two plans. One is to have my Lord's priests hold regular rituals to summon the Divine Envoy to purify the blood of those demons.
"The other option is to find a suitable place where I will leave a permanent purification field. The number of demons purified in a single time may be less than the first option, but in the long run, this is still more trouble-free.
.”
"That's it!"
Xia Duo thought for a while and asked Rich: "Are there any special requirements for a suitable place in the second option?"
"It mainly depends on yourselves. The permanent purification field can not only be used to purify the blood of demons, but also has certain protective capabilities. The cost of maintaining such a field is not small. Even if it is not used at all, it will consume at least nearly three million yuan every year.
Hundreds of Holy Light Crystals."
Three hundred holy light crystals are not a small amount. Xia Duo has studied this kind of token of the Kingdom of Glory before, but the purchasing power is second. The key is that the holy power in it is difficult to manipulate.
It has certain rare attributes. In the mortal world, it can basically only be infused by priests. Even if it is only 300 per year, it is not something that any territory in Netheril can afford.
It takes all the priests in the country combined to bear it.
The most important thing is that it is not capped. If more demons are purified within a year, I am afraid that the entire holy power reserve of Netheril will be exhausted.
Xia Duo actually prefers the second option. The first option requires the priest to perform a ritual to summon the divine envoy every time. The cost of this summoning is often divine grace + holy power. On the contrary, the second option even consumes a lot of money, but the price is still high.
Only holy power.
Of course, he can also summon the divine envoy himself. He uses the holy seal to summon the divine envoy without consuming divine grace or holy power. It seems that nothing is consumed, but in fact it consumes him and the two gods.
The favor of the envoy.
Purifying bloodline has almost only negative benefits for the divine envoy, because the demon bloodline is only the personal behavior of the caster, it has not been transformed into a demon, and it has not caused serious pollution to the plane, and it does not fall within the scope of the divine envoy's responsibilities.
On the contrary, purification itself is a delicate job, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive with no results.
In this case, it doesn't matter if you ask the other person to help you occasionally. If you call him over from time to time, no amount of favors will be enough.
Of course, Xia Duo will not use his favors to subsidize the demon descendants, and since the first option consumes divine grace, he cannot decide on behalf of the priests in the country. He can only decide on the second option. ()
