This sentence almost made Ethan's previous efforts go to naught—with what he knew about Eli, he could have escaped with a little more effort.

Anger and frustration were meaningless, and in an instant he set a new goal for himself. It was a great opportunity, but it was also a very dangerous one, and it was clear that his tricks to get Eli into the palm of his hand would hardly fool such a demon...... If only it could see through his heart at a glance.

But what about the worst? Eli wouldn't let him die easily, he would always find a silver lining.

At that moment, his tense nerves were more like excitement than nervousness.

As it says – interesting.

What's even more interesting is that he found that Miyati was indeed quite "simple" in a sense. It doesn't play any intrigues, it doesn't play any linguistic games, maybe it doesn't, it just doesn't disdain...... It was powerful enough to sustain such pride, and its pride made it disdainful of bothering to dig up any secrets from Ethan.

That's not its mission.

Its interest in Ethan began with his strange physique, but it was their shared hobby of wine that interested them most.

But it's no ordinary drunkard. It is obsessed with studying everything from the history to the taste, from the method of making it to the best vessel for it, and even which wine is the best to drink and when. Even though many of the wines in Hell may sound like "weird" to Ethan, his passion and erudition are unquestionable.

As for Ethan, what he loved at first was the feeling of the wine flowing through his body, but after drinking it for so many years, of course, he also had some experience, and when he needed it, he knew how to make that "little bit" attractive to ten points.

"Humans have more tricks at making wine than demons...... You have provided very useful information for my book. Mithiya was very satisfied with this: "To be honest, you are the only human being who can calmly talk to me about such a topic that is not important at all. ”

"That's probably because you've seen too few humans. Ethan doesn't deliberately emphasize his specialness, "But ...... 'book'? Are you writing a book about wine?"

"What you're really trying to ask is, 'So demons can write books too,' right?" Miyati asked with a smile.

It smiled so brightly that it seemed to have light in its dark eyes.

"We write books and we read books. It says, "We have our own civilization...... Isn't that weird?"

Not surprisingly, after all, they are equally intelligent, except that humans prefer to fool themselves into thinking of them as cunning, cruel, and savage monsters, and that lies are told for too long before they are taken as facts.

“...... Wise races will use communication to avoid disputes. Ethan expressed his intentions frankly, "I'm not sure what you want, but a necromancer, or a believer in some god who doesn't know the truth, seems to me to be a pretty stupid choice. ”

"But what if all we want is 'dispute'?" Mieti leaned closer to him, his shadow clearly imprinted in his black eyes, "Do you know what real stupidity is?—— take yourself too seriously. To hell, human beings are nothing more than plaster on the walls of nothingness. ”

Its tone didn't change, but it was that understatement that made Ethan realize that humans were really as light as ants to demons.

The demon retreated, bored because the topic finally fell on such "important matters", and Ethan, after all, was reduced to a boring person in his mind.

It never appeared in front of his eyes again.

.

“...... So, what is it that makes you feel like you can continue to 'communicate' with it, or its kind?" Borena thought incredulous, "Is it really just because it's 'strong and handsome'?"

He did not believe that his consuls were such superficial people!

"Because they 'can communicate'. Ethan squinted at him in disgust, "Because their purpose is not clear, but their actions can be grasped. It is true that the lower demons have no reason to speak of, but their instincts will make them obey the more powerful demons without resistance. And the higher demons ...... Miyati disdained the uninteresting, but she didn't tear me to shreds because I was 'uninteresting' and deceived or used it. I've seen several other demons talk to those necromancers, and they're really good at manipulating human emotions, not magic...... At least not entirely, more by skill. Compared to them, even the most skillful human beings are dwarfed. “

Those demons are smart and calm, patient and decisive, purposeful and determined, they do not take unnecessary risks, and they will never break a contract once they have made it, although it is more likely to be beneficial to them under their rhetoric, but it is not entirely unlimited. They even let Laval go, as the High Priest used his knowledge of demons to cleverly set a trap in the contract.

Miyati only mentioned this matter casually, and even showed a slight respect to the old man. Laval attributed his ability to escape to Ethan, which was in fact just a misunderstanding. Miyette made no secret of its interest in Ethan, and the demons were very interested in it—yes, even the demons were happy to pass the time with all sorts of gossip, and a word or two always landed on Laval's ears. And although the old priest took advantage of the contract, he did not believe that the demons would really keep the contract. He thought they had let him go, partly because he was useless, and partly because Ethan had said something to him.

The Archon didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either—what harm was it to let the Temple of Anduhe owe him a favor?

But in any case, in Ethan's opinion, putting aside those long-standing prejudices, the demons in hell, at least what he had seen, actually made sense.

At the very least, they have their own guidelines and follow them conscientiously.

"By contrast, most have been tamed into a bunch of madmen or brainless idiots, chaotically commanded by a few dissenting leaders, seemingly easier to destroy or control, but in fact like wildfires in the autumn wilderness, it is impossible to tell when or where they will suddenly burn...... You have no idea when you're going to be bitten back inexplicably. If you had to choose between the two, which one would you choose?"

"None of them. Borena puffed out his chest proudly.

Ethan sneered. He didn't intend to make him change his mind, but he felt that he had to explain how much to dispel possible suspicions for him when Borena didn't ask anything, but in his own way.
