Chapter 166: Goodbye Little Devil
Unexpectedly, there was such a thing in the underwater city. www.biquge.info Unconsciously, I seem to have a little respect for Kona, and it seems that her life is not as simple as it seems.
Rollo looked at me and continued, "By the way, what happened between you and Kona at that time? Why did she suddenly become so excited? ”
I told Rollo about the cause and effect, and said helplessly, "I don't know why she was so excited when she saw me." I was asked over and over again if I was also a demon. It's a real headache for me, do I really look like a demon? ”
Rollo leaned over and suddenly rubbed my hair, and smiled, "Can't you stupid boy see that she is interested in you?" It's because I like you that I overreact to this matter, and it's really that the Holy Court has been staying for a long time and even becoming sluggish to react? ”
I just felt my head shaken a little dizzy by him, so I quickly pushed him aside and pulled my hair again so that it could be the way it was. Ever since I came to the Holy Court, I've hated it when people touch my hair, for no other reason than that it's too much trouble to take care of my hair when it grows. But the guy Luo Luo, who is so immortal, likes to toss my hair very much, which makes me feel a little helpless.
As for Rollo's saying that Kona likes me or something, I don't think I'm dull enough to that extent, and I still have some feelings. I just think her feelings for me are a little inexplicable.
Luo Luo sat up straight and said, "But you said that she asked if you were a demon, which reminded me of something." It stands to reason that Kona is a very knowledgeable person in this underwater city, and she also knows a lot about demons, so she should know what demons look like. Then why would she ask you if you were a demon? Obviously, your Protoss gives people a completely different feeling from the demons. So the reason why she asked you this is entirely because she thinks that you and him feel very similar to him on the premise of knowing that Karen is a demon, so she wonders if you and him are the same kind of demons. You've seen a lot of demons, and you should know that no matter how advanced they are, no matter how human-like demons are, they won't have light-colored hair, most of them are dark red or black. It can only be said that Karen deliberately made himself the current blonde and blue-eyed appearance. So it's not so much that you feel like him, it's better that Cullen feels like a Protoss. This point is worth pondering: why is he, a demon, trying to give people the impression that he is a god? Could it be that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder? And if, as we guessed before, he was originally a medium demon and then slowly wanted to transform himself into a high demon, then we can put it another way: it seems reasonable that he wanted to transform himself into a real god? After all, a demon like him who climbed up from the bottom experienced something along the way, causing his perverted thoughts to be distorted and his self-perception to be different, and it is not necessary to desperately want to become a god! ”
I thought his statement was a bit exaggerated, so I asked rhetorically, "If you are a demon, do you envy the Protoss who is your sworn enemy and want to become the other party?" ”
"What about you? Would you like to turn you into a weak medium demon now? Rollo asked rhetorically.
"This ......," to be honest, Rollo's question kind of stopped me. Because I know I don't want to. Although I don't know much about the life of demons, I am also the one who has been to Castlevania Ivanger. I've seen more or less the environment in which they live. Although I have always longed for a life where a high demon travels all over the world without any worries, if I am born as a medium demon...... To be honest, life is still quite difficult. Not only do you have to bear the infamy, but you also have to be afraid all day long. It is really not easy to live without having to guard against the Protoss and the human mage, and at the same time trying to deceive the soul of the human being. On the other hand, the Protoss, like the Demons, do not belong to the spirit species. The responsibilities are also onerous and boring, but at least the reputation is much better.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Luo Luo couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "That's why I said that you, the eldest young master, are still too tender." You see, demons need souls to live, right? But the people of this place ...... Don't you think the number of people who have made a contract with demons is too small compared to the number of demons here? I inquired during the day, and it was said that Cullen did not allow his demons to devour their souls at will, and could only obtain a minimum number of life-savings, and it is said that Cullen's expression was disgusted when he mentioned this matter. What does this mean? It shows that Karen is disgusted with this almost instinctive behavior for demons from the bottom of his heart! He is denying himself that he has to survive in this way! Doesn't that show how much he hates his identity? If you think about it this way, what I just said is not out of the question. ”
Rollo's words couldn't help but make me feel a little creepy: because I have experienced something similar before. Isn't that what Archimedes is all about? He desperately wants to obtain an eternal god, but he has exhausted all methods but cannot die well, and in the end he can only become a monster who is neither human nor ghost. This is the universal nature of this world. In this way, it is possible that what Rollo said is true.
When I think of this, I can't help but feel that the order of the world seems to have really collapsed. Different races have begun to search for secret methods one after another, and they want to become other races, which is obviously unavoidable. Isn't this an example of the collapse of order?
One evening, a few days later, Karen sent someone to call me and Rollo. As soon as we stepped into the closed room, Cullen sent the door shut, causing the room to go dark.
On the round table in the middle of the hall sat a padded plate, neatly placed on which were seventeen of the same rings, the same cursed rings that had been collected these days. A short, rickety demon curled up in a chair, his body trembling a little, the hand sticking out of his sleeve was wrinkled but slender, and it looked like a human finger without looking at its complexion. It looks like this is the demon that Karen found from Castlevania to try on the ring.
It could be seen that the demon was a little nervous, causing his movements to stiffen a little, and he could only tremble and look back and forth at the people present. I wondered how I could tell which was the real ring, so I watched the demon test the ring.
Since some of the demon's nervous movements were unsuccessful, the ring was put on his hand by other demons.
When I saw a ring on the demon's hand, I didn't react. So I switched to the next one. Still no response.
I put it on seven or eight times, but there was no response to the rings, and it didn't seem like the real rings we were looking for.
It's just that when I look at it, I feel that something is wrong, why does the demon who tried the ring seem to be getting more and more nervous, and his whole body is shaking so much. It stands to reason that now that I have experience, I shouldn't be so flustered, right?
I casually looked at the face under the brim of the devil's hat, and suddenly it seemed to me that it was familiar, as if I had seen him there. I searched my memories a little, and then I realized that I had actually met him! Isn't this the little devil who led the way when he was in Castlevania? If I remember correctly, it should be called ...... Brie coming? Isn't he an old resident of Castlevania, how did he get involved with Cullen again?
Maybe I was staring at him too strongly, and he noticed my presence. As a result, he was stunned when he saw my face, and it seemed that he recognized me, but for some reason his expression suddenly became weak.
Although no one noticed his weakness, I couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although he recognized me, I didn't feel particularly panicked. After all, even if he told Cullen about my past, he wouldn't have anything to do with the Holy Court, on the contrary, my experiences on the continent of Megaril would make Cullen believe even more that I was really just a wandering god who had been abandoned since childhood and had no home. But what is he panicking about?
Soon, I found out why he was panicking. Because I remembered that when I saw him three years ago, his hands were not as slender as they are now, just the thick fingers of ordinary demons. Could it be that the reason he panicked was that he was worried that I would say it? This made me wonder about the thinning of his fingers: what the hell is going on?
I don't know if this little devil was too nervous or if he really brought the real ring, but he suddenly began to twitch and foam at the mouth. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Karen also felt a little helpless for a while. Because he couldn't figure out what was going on. After all, the little devil's current condition doesn't look like the curse in the ring has worked.
So I said, "Now that he's fainted, it looks like we'll have to wait until he's awake to start over." Well, anyway, there are still a few days before the blessing ceremony, so there is still plenty of time. Let's start again tomorrow. I saw that he rushed to the underwater city after a long journey, and I am afraid that he was also a little unaccustomed to the water and soil. Let's not put too much pressure on him. Otherwise, it will be self-defeating. ”
"Okay, leave two people to watch him, and the others will evacuate for the time being, and we'll continue tomorrow." After much deliberation, Cullen quickly accepted my offer. So we all dispersed for the time being, leaving only two demons to guard him at the door.
