After Monroe became a death knight and had exponentially increased power, some other paladins were also a little bit ready to move.
"If you want to stay in the lower realm, keep it," Monroe told them.
At this time, they were walking between the sixth ring (volcanic area) and the seventh ring (blood pool area) of the lower world. Facing such a Monroe paladin was undoubtedly curious and fearful.
There is a huge gap in this land, and there used to be a village here, which was abandoned because of the gap. There are still some broken walls and ruins beside the gap, which looks quite desolate. There was a crimson light below the rift, and the red wind gushed out from the abyss of the rift to fill the sky, forming an exceptionally magnificent scenery. The wind lifted the boulder, and some unlucky animals that occasionally strayed into it. There are many slimes living under the crack, and their color is also different from other places, presenting a kind of light red. In some places further below live the fire elemental elves, and Erwin was born here.
"I really want to stay in the lower realm. I don't have much nostalgia for the human realm...but I don't know what I can do if I stay in the lower realm. Do I also need to become a death knight?" asked a paladin.
"Sill has been tempting us to join since we came here, if you plan to stay, he must have made his own arrangements." Monroe said lightly, "But you are different from me, the human world also has your place place."
Teresa has been silent from the beginning, after hearing what Monroe said, he said: "Captain."
Monroe looked at him, his dark red eyes made Teresa's heart skip a beat. In fact, Teresa thought about what would happen to Monroe after he became a death knight. For example, when he called him the captain, he would say "Don't call me that, I am not your captain anymore", or simply cut off the human body. All the fetters, turning into an attitude of disrespect... Teresa felt that it was possible. But he didn't expect that Monroe's way of talking to them was the same as before when both his appearance and demeanor had changed.
This should be impossible... The change in the appearance of becoming a demon is only the least important change, the most important thing is the change in the soul. This is not a fairy tale, not the kind of story where even though I have become a demon, I am still kind in my heart and will let you go at the last moment.
Theresa Shelley's face changed several times, and her mind was full of messy thoughts.
"Speak," Monroe said.
"Captain." Teresa called out again, his voice a little dry, "I..."
"You're right." Monroe interrupted him. He cast his eyes on the abyss where the hurricane was blowing upwards, but Teresa felt that his eyes were deeper than the abyss. It should."
Teresa was stunned for a moment. Did Monroe see through his thoughts... The unique talent of the demons
"It's not unique to the demons." Monroe said Teresa's inner voice again, and he said lightly: "I can see the thoughts of various people before, but I can't understand them out of human morality and etiquette. That's all."
The implication of his words is obvious, I used to give face to those people including you, but now I don't need to.
Teresa suddenly felt hot on his face, and he lowered his head.
"Human beings have always been despicable, and you don't need to blame yourself." Monroe seemed to smile, and they had already walked closer to the crack. From the beginning to the end of this conversation, his tone was light, as if he was chatting about "what's for dinner tonight", rather than such a sharp topic, "Of course, I used to be like this."
"What about you now?" Teresa almost blurted out.
After he said this, the paladins around fell silent, a few looked at Teresa worriedly, and the rest stared at Monroe.
"right now… "
Monroe repeated slowly.
Then he smiled, not a light laugh, but a real one.
His red eyes suddenly darkened, turning black like ink, and the blackness was still tumbling, as if thick black mist had condensed in his eyeballs.
Teresa felt as if something was choking her throat, making it difficult to breathe.
Then he heard Monroe's next words:
"...I'm much meaner and greedier now than before."
Teresa felt a sudden urge to vomit. These were not aimed at Monroe's words, but the malicious and dark aura emitted by Monroe eroded Teresa's body and spirit, making him feel sincerely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Monroe quickly returned to his indifferent appearance, but after that, all the paladins dared not ask him the question of crossing the line. Ten of the Paladins wanted to stay in the Nether, and three wanted to go back.
Monroe nodded, "I see." Then he glanced at everyone, "You should know that this is not a small talk."
His eyes without much emotion made everyone's hearts jump again.
"I know." A lively paladin quickly said, he was the one who was willing to stay.
"Well, you guys go back first, Teresa and I have something to talk about." Monroe continued.
The paladins had to leave, but Teresa had to stay. To be honest, he was more afraid of Monroe now.
After the others left, Monroe said straight to the point: "They can stay, but you have to go to the human world."
"Why?" Theresa blurted out.
"Your father is still alive," Monroe said, "so you may betray Hill in the future."
Theresa froze for a moment. That's it... Then a new idea appeared in his mind, which made him a little unbelievable, but he felt that it might be true, "Besides, there is your treatment of my father..."
"Of course there was resentment," Monroe said.
Theresa was silent.
"Not to mention the fact that he killed many villagers, just the fact that he told me that the Mortons were indeed demons - I respect him, and I thought it was impossible for him to lie to me in that situation, So I trust him." Monroe said in the same tone as before, "but I also know that I should not really hate him."
Teresa didn't know what to say. He clenched his fist, let it go, and then clenched again, "Captain." He called again, his voice dry, "What can I do for you?"
"Back to the human world." Monroe said, "You need to improve your position in the church, and Hill needs an internal response."
"... good." Teresa said softly.
By this point, Monroe's teams had all gone their separate ways.

Hill lay on the table and groaned, "The newly released Death Knight just eloped with his old friends. How about a Monroe that big? What about a Death Knight that big? This ran away?"
Gordenia next to him was full of desire to complain, "My king, some of your words seem quite indecent."
And the dark elf Albrecht was filled with righteous indignation: "It's too much! My king! Please allow me to assassinate them all! And I heard that he touched your Adam's apple! I haven't even touched it!"
Goldnia said objectively: "I doubt you can beat him. ... And the latter is the point, Al."
Albrecht was shocked: "You really can't beat it?" He readily ignored the second half of the death knight's words.
Goldnia recalled the scene when Monroe just changed his job, and nodded: "I am not his opponent. His original physical fitness and the ceremony when he changed his job are the best objective conditions in the history of death knights."
This is true, after all, Hill asked Monroe to lie down on the altar under the Demon King's Blackstone Tower to hold the ceremony.
"And he was mentally stimulated enough in the last step." Gordonia continued.
"What stimulated him?" asked Albrecht.
Gordenia replied: "My king said that he became a demon is my king's design, and everything is my king's lie."
Albrecht suddenly realized, "I see."
Hill was very relieved to see such a dark elf. He thought that Albrecht finally had a reliable thinking, and then he heard the latter say: "He was very moved and excited because my king valued him so much, so Have you received enough mental stimulation?"
Goldonia opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He thought he was a demon king, but compared to this night elf, he was really nothing...
Rao is that Hill is used to Albrecht's various postures blowing him, but Albrecht's sudden words still make Hill feel his old face blush...
Goldnia stayed for a while, and then said: "...In short, Lord Monroe is very strong now, but if 'killing' is the goal, there should be very few people in the lower realm who can escape Al's assassination."
Overcoming and killing are two concepts.
Albrecht indeed had the strength to kill almost any demon... Of course, the price he paid was also terrible, so terrible that even Hill was terrified.
The elves can actually link spiritually, which is similar to the protoss (protoss) in StarCraft, and they can also transmit spiritual power in a certain space. Meaning, suppose the dark elves decide to kill a person/demon with the power of the whole clan, they can send the best assassin to assassinate, and then transmit the spiritual power of the whole clan to him when the assassin swings the weapon On one person, such a target will definitely die, and the consequence may be that the whole family will also explode themselves.
Theoretically, the dark elves are the most likely to kill the king.
The demon kings of all generations knew this, so they focused on cultivating the loyalty of the dark elves, and each generation of the five elders would have a carefully cultivated dark elf (usually the son of the patriarch)—the demon king would bring him up by his side from an early age, and so on. When he became an adult, he was given the status of the five elders.
The five elders generally do not serve as patriarchs, but they are the closest people to the patriarch.
From generation to generation, the Demon King relied on this to consolidate his position.
This is also the reason why Albrecht is such an idiot... Hill also learned this later.
These are not simple people, Hill thought.
