Rael supported Greno and followed the Demon King to a house. The decoration inside was exactly the same as a human house. The lizard demon named Vali followed. There was no doubt that she was this man's subordinate.
"Please have tea."
She said softly to Rael.
"Thank you, thank you."
Rael was a little at a loss. She had never been offered tea by a demon species. After all, humans’ impressions of demon species were similar to those of the world: although they had human intelligence and could speak human language, they behaved more like beasts. There is no doubt that
, they are cursed creatures and should not exist in the world.
This is a description of demon species published by a famous demon research expert.
In addition, demons are very rare, and they all have non-human characteristics, so humans have a very bad impression of them, and even regard them as aliens like the demons.
Even if their mother or father is human.
"Ahem..."
Greno on the side couldn't help coughing. He was injured. Although he kept holding on and didn't want to worry Rael, his current situation was indeed not optimistic.
Even though the physical damage has recovered, the injuries on his body have not healed. In addition, he is already old. If not treated properly, it may be life-threatening.
This is also what Lele is most worried about.
"Go and ask Qinna to come over and tell him there are two wounded here."
At this moment, the Demon King suddenly ordered Vali. Leer was stunned for a moment, and saw Vali saying "Master," and then left here.
There were three cups of hot tea on the table, but there was nothing else. Rael and Greno had their heads lowered, like defeated soldiers, with low morale.
As the top decision-maker, she was actually defeated and captured by an unknown demon in a small place. If this spread, the reputation of the Adventurer's Guild would definitely be seriously affected.
And she didn't know what was waiting for her, what this demon wanted to do to her. Maybe he knew that he was a high-ranking member of the Adventurer's Guild, and wanted to use him as a bargaining chip to threaten the Adventurer's Guild.
If this is the case, then he will definitely not succeed. None of the top decision-makers of the Adventurers Guild are indispensable, and there are many people who can replace them.
"Let him lie down for a while until my therapist comes."
The Demon King suddenly said to Rael. She was stunned for a moment and looked at Greno who looked remorseful. He must have regretted that he did not stop Rael's risky behavior.
"No need, cough!"
Greno frowned and refused. His eyes were still very sharp, and he kept staring at the other party, as if he wanted to find a chance to die together with the other party.
The Demon King, who seemed to be full of flaws, sat across from them as usual, smiling and drinking tea.
After the fight, Rael knew that this was impossible. Although it didn't feel like admitting it, the gap in strength between them was really too big.
"You take a rest and leave the rest to me. Since he didn't kill me on the spot, it proves that I'm still useful, right, Mr. Demon."
Rael looked at the Demon King and said.
"Maybe, but maybe I just want to chat with you."
The devil replied.
Chat?
Rael's body was covered with scars, her face was pale, and she had been beaten badly. She didn't look like someone inviting someone to come over for tea.
However, it seems that the first person to take action is themselves.
After a while, Greno was lying in pain on the horizontal chair beside him, and Rael used magic to make him fall asleep temporarily.
She let out a long sigh, then plucked up the courage to look up at the Demon King.
"Tell me what you want to know."
Leer's eyes were very alert, and she knew that the other party would not let her go easily.
The Demon King was silent for a few seconds, then put down the teacup, looked at her and said, "I want to know what you think of the Demons."
Hearing this, Lele raised her right eyebrow, showing a puzzled face.
"enemy."
She just said two words, her face was tense, and she secretly gathered the magic power in her body in her brain, so that the other party might bewitch her through words.
"Then have you ever thought about the coexistence of humans and demons?"
asked the devil.
Like the scene outside?
No, that's just an illusion.
Although this scene shocked Leer, she guessed that this must be the deliberate act of a certain force, and needless to say, this force was the terrifying demon in front of her.
That's impossible.
But Leer didn't dare to answer like this. She said: "The ideals here are very lofty, but it is difficult to realize them."
"Maybe it's not as difficult as you think. The war between humans and demons has lasted for thousands of years. Don't you think it's strange?"
"Strange? What do you mean?"
Rael frowned and asked in confusion.
The Demon King suddenly bent down and came in front of Lele, who held her breath nervously.
"Have you ever thought about why humans and demons want each other's life?"
"This...isn't your question the same as why the tiger eats the deer?" Leer asked back. She felt that the other party was guiding her thinking and wanted to trick her.
"No, there is an essential difference. As you can see, a large number of demons have similar habits to humans. They also have similar languages and can communicate with each other. This also makes it possible for them to understand each other."
The Demon King sighed, and then said: "But for thousands of years, the two sides have not reached any consensus at all. Instead, the war has continued. Do you know why?"
Hearing this, Leer shook her head silently.
"The answer is inside you."
The Demon King pointed at Rael and said.
"In my... body?"
Leer was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the wall.
"Master." A woman's voice came.
Master? Could it be that he was called?
"Come in."
The Demon King replied, the door was pushed open, and a young woman wearing white clothes and carrying a medicine box appeared in Leer's field of vision.
Human again?
She was stunned, and so was the other person.
Humans outside?
Qin Na blinked her eyes, her mood was a little complicated. This woman had a little blood on the corner of her mouth, her glasses were broken, and she also had some injuries on her body, while the old man beside her was much more serious.
"Treat their wounds first." The Demon King ordered Qin Na, and then stood up, as if preparing to go out for a while.
"Let's talk later."
After the Demon King finished speaking, he really left the room. The white lizard demon species stood at the door, nodded to Rael, then closed the door and left.
Greno's injury was treated carefully and many bandages were put on it. The woman named Qinna was a young woman with a sunny appearance.
Why does she want to work for the demons?
There may be complicated reasons for this, or maybe it's just forced.
After taking care of Greno's injury, she came to Rael carrying the medicine box.
"Let me see your injury."
Qin Na said to Leer gently.
"Thanks."
Rael stretched out her right hand, and there was a bruise on her arm.
She looked at the other person, but Qin Na deliberately avoided her gaze and did not dare to look at her.
"You...why are you here?"
Rael asked softly.
Qin Na smiled slightly and said nothing.
Is it an unspeakable reason?
Rael couldn't help but pity this girl. They were about the same age. Maybe it was for this reason that she wanted to save her.
Inadvertently, she saw a black mass on the other person's wrist. She immediately grabbed Qinna's hand and rolled up her sleeves. On her white wrist, there was a very ancient magic circle.
Sure enough, there was a contract-like spell on her hand, and this was how she was controlled!
Leer secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head, and asked:
"He put a curse on you?"
"No, no, no, you completely misunderstood. He saved me and many of us."
Qin Na said quickly.
"He saved you? What happened?"
"Well, he rescued us as prisoners from a group of terrifying orcs." Qinna replied.
