What is a demon? In the eyes of many people, demons represent evil, they corrode all life and energy that can be corrupted, they are tyrannical, emotionless, and full of all destructive desires.
But as a game player, Liang Lidong is very clear that demons also have their own feelings, but because they are different from their race, people often cannot understand it.
This is normal. There have been several wars between humans on Earth just because of religion, not to mention races with completely different appearances. Liang Lidong has come into contact with many different kinds of demons in the game, and knows that they also have feelings, but because of their different living environments, their worldview and reasons for acting are often completely opposite to those of the human world.
For example, eating the dead bodies of relatives.
Many demons will eat the corpses of their relatives. In their view, the dead relatives will become part of themselves and live with themselves forever. If you really want to explore further, the fundamental reason is that the materials in the demon world are very scarce, and it is very difficult to survive, so no food can be wasted.
Demons also have feelings, Liang Lidong admits this, but no matter what, when he meets a demon, he will still find a way to kill him, for no other reason, and different standpoints.
After all, the values of the two sides are too different, and many times it is impossible to reconcile. When encountering a demon, as long as there are no special circumstances, it is absolutely not wrong to beat him to death. He is not the Holy Mother, so he doesn't care whether the demon has feelings or not.
But Emma Zedi seems to have been greatly impacted. After all, in the common perception of this world, demons are evil and ruthless. All their actions are aimed at destabilizing the human world.
But now Beta told her that the demon's self-destruct power is so small, maybe he didn't want to hurt her. This refreshed her three views once again.
Several servants heard the noise and ran in from the outside. Two maids fainted from fright on the spot, and several other male servants also turned pale with fright. Those puddles of blue blood can tell a lot.
Although most ordinary people have never really seen a demon, they still know some basic common sense, for example. Most demon blood is blue.
"Clean up here." Emma frowned, and then said: "Those who are willing to participate in the cleanup, each will go to the housekeeper to receive a silver coin later."
After all, for ordinary people, close contact with demons is not a pleasant thing, even dead demons are the same.
But if there is a monetary reward, the situation is a little different.
Seeing that someone was willing to go forward to clean up the pool of blood, Emma was relieved, then she walked ahead and pushed open the back door of the castle.
She walks. He asked, "Beta, why did you say that the demon deliberately reduced the power of self-explosion in order not to hurt me?"
"Because there is no other reason." Liang Lidong smiled and said, "Besides, I saw that when it saw you, its eyes were obviously different."
Emma shook her head mockingly: "How is it possible that a demon has feelings for humans..."
"It's hard to say, maybe it has been monitoring you here for several years. If so, it can be said to have watched you grow up. It's normal to have feelings for you!"
Emma's body stopped suddenly, and she suddenly turned around: "I remembered something... It was not half a year ago when I first came here. Because I was very lonely after leaving my father and mother, I secretly went to the backyard to cry, There was this weird, weird guy in a black cape who kept making me laugh, and then it just disappeared from my face. Because someone came...could it be it."
Liang Lidong didn't answer, it was Emma's own business, it was not good for him to interrupt.
After a while, Emma bit her lovely pink lips and asked, "Did that Shadow Demon die just like that?"
"The self-exploding Shadow Fiend, its soul will return to the Demon Realm."
Emma breathed a sigh of relief. Turn around and continue walking towards the main hall, with much easier steps.
Liang Lidong didn't tell her that although the Shadow Demon returned to the Demon Realm, he might not be able to survive. After all, the Demon Realm is a cruel world, and demons who fail to complete their missions generally do not end well.
The two walked to the hall and sat there. Not long after, the housekeeper Joseph brought three middle-aged men who looked like officials over.
They saluted Emma first, and then their eyes fell on Liang Lidong. One was curious, and the eyes of the other two were vaguely repulsive.
Liang Lidong vaguely guessed the reason, but he didn't bother to pay attention.
Emma also nodded slightly to the three of them, and then gave a general account of what happened in the cellar just now, and then said: "Our history books have been changed, and the only people who can freely enter and exit the cellar are those few people sitting here. So I want to ask, who did it, and now I stand up, I can forgive him and let him leave the castle safely, but if I find out who did it, the consequences will be different."
It has to be said that Emma's face is quite powerful.
It's just that all three of them were very calm, and none of them looked different. Emma looked at the three of them for a while, then sighed: "In this case, the three of you step back first, and I will notify you when I have a clue."
The three of them didn't leave immediately. The middle-aged clerk with a horse face in the middle bent slightly and said, "Miss, the young people from our castle are back. They are waiting for your call and reception in the garden outside the castle."
"Oh?" Emma was stunned for a moment: "Who notified them?"
"Me!" Joseph stepped forward and said, "Miss, you are back. As your knights, they naturally have to come back to protect you."
Emma shook her head and said, "But I won't live here for a long time."
Joseph continued: "But this is their duty. No matter how many days you come back, miss, as long as you come back, they must fulfill their obligations. Besides, they never feel that protecting miss is a kind of trouble."
Emma glanced at Liang Lidong quietly, seeing that he didn't seem to care, she was relieved.
Generally speaking, the princess of each country will be protected by a team of knights. This is a common practice, and many times, the princess will have some unclear and ambiguous relationship with her knight until she is married to another country by political marriage, or she is actually married.
But Emma is not that kind of person. She is not that old. In addition, she has been practicing in the Temple of Storms for a long time. She is a saint and rarely stays at home. Therefore, the relationship between her and her guardian knight is a bit strange. .
Emma nodded: "then go out and meet them."
Liang Lidong stood up: "Then I'll go upstairs to rest first, and just let someone call me after lunch."
Joseph showed Liang Lidong an expression of 'you know what's right', and then led Emma out of the main hall. Three clerks followed closely behind.
Liang Lidong returned to his room, Joan of Arc was still sleeping on the bed. He shook his head, opened the mission system, and looked at the introduction on the mission system word by word.
The task system will only trigger tasks that can increase experience, and there is no distinction between good and evil in itself. When players first entered the game, they followed the mission system and found themselves killing many good people.
Afterwards, after they gradually became familiar with the system, they could vaguely distinguish whether the tasks themselves were unnecessary evil tasks based on their own knowledge and abilities.
Now there are demons in Emma's house, plus the demons he killed in Sicilia, so it is obvious that behind this incident, there is definitely a great relationship with the demon world.
Dai Polo is a member of the Demon Realm, and it seems logical that the creatures of the Demon Realm want to rescue him, but the more so, the more strange Liang Lidong finds it. Most of the creatures in the demon world are ruthless. It seems impossible for them to go to great lengths to save a companion who is sealed in the human world.
But no matter what, the Demon Realm was involved in this matter, so it didn't run away. But now Liang Lidong suspects that there should be a more important conspiracy behind this, otherwise it would be impossible to understand why they expended so much energy to use Emma as a pawn.
In fact, with Kyle's straightforward personality, as long as he is properly guided, he can be led by the nose and Emma is also involved, but there will be more uncertainties. Unless... Emma has other more important roles.
Liang Lidong considered many possibilities, but because there was still too little information, he couldn't confirm which one it was.
Thinking time always passed quickly, just when Liang Lidong was about to make some magic scrolls, a servant knocked on the door and invited him down for lunch.
He looked out of the window and realized that it was already noon.
Then when he went down to the main hall, he found that Kyle and Alice had returned, Emma was sitting on the main seat, and behind her stood a young man in white chain mail.
This young man was very handsome, with blond hair. When he saw Liang Lidong coming down, he smiled slightly as a salute, but Liang Lidong saw hostility towards him under his sunny appearance.
Another one who loves Emma!
As a woman, Alice sensed the strange atmosphere very keenly. She turned her head and looked at Liang Lidong with a smile, intending to watch the excitement.
There was an empty seat on Emma's left, and Liang Lidong sat down there, and then he felt a piercing gaze cast over him, and when he looked up, he realized that it was the blond young man looking at him.
A smiling tiger...but not strong enough.
Liang Lidong saw that the opponent was only lv4, so he didn't care. But when he was about to eat, the other party spoke: "Your Excellency is very unfamiliar, can you tell me your name and family name?"
Liang Lidong looked at him and smiled: "Okay, I admit that I'm a liar, and I'm here to cheat food and drink. If you want to arrest me and put me in a cell, you have to wait until I finish eating."
Hearing this, Alice burst out laughing. Kyle grinned too.
Emma was a little embarrassed, she said unhappily: "Caesar, pay attention to your words." (.)
