Chapter 025: The Weak

In the castle of Rasti Manor, on the east side of the city of Gheras, a small ball is being held.

In the dance hall on the ground floor, delicate ball dresses and beautiful bouquets sparkle in the dim and gentle light.

On the cloister that surrounds the hall on the second floor, Ernest and his guests hold wine glasses while admiring the graceful dancing of the people below, while enthusiastically exchanging their collections and the upcoming World Mobility Ball Championship.

In the corner of the dance hall, a band of several sound demons is playing one song after another.

"Oh, what a beautiful song, I envy Lord Ernest, with so many 'natural artists'". A bejeweled lady chatted to Ernest.

In the eyes of these wealthy people, having a sound demon at home is not only not a shameful thing, but can be used as a capital to show off.

Because of their weakness, the Sound Demon will do his best to hide from other intelligent races. And being able to buy Sound Demon shows that they not only have money, but also have unique channels.

Some people, after reaching a certain level of money, like to show off their privileges, but he has sound demons that others can't buy, so that he can get the happiness brought by a sense of superiority.

Ernest thanked the lady politely, and then went down the stairs with graceful steps, and went outside the castle to greet her cousin in person.

The butler had just whispered to him that Olivia had come to visit.

"Cousin, there is no school today, I thought you were in the city of Gohras, come to visit you, but I didn't know that you were holding a dance party here, I wanted to surprise you, but I didn't think it through, I should have said hello to you in advance. Olivia said apologetically. "If it's inconvenient, I won't bother......"

"My dear sister, look at what you said, I am naturally very happy that you are here. If you are willing to change into a dress and accompany me to a dance for a while, you will definitely be the brightest pearl of the whole ball. ”

Ernest has a good relationship with Olivia. When Ernest first bought the estate, he left his cousin a room that was her own in the style she preferred. Even though he knew that Olivia might come here very infrequently.

Ernest first asked the butler to take Olivia to her own room in the manor.

Olivia opened the closet in her room and found that her cousin had bought her all kinds of fine and elegant clothes, and Ernest had also bought multiple models of each dress considering that she was growing up.

Olivia was a little happy, and the gloom in her heart also dissipated a lot, she felt that her cousin had not changed, and that the sound demon must have lied.

But she still quickly picked out her favorite dress, and after changing it, she sent a message to Eli with the communication mirror as agreed with Eli.

Olivia had opened the window of her room, having already stressed to her cousin that she didn't need a waitress to help her change her clothes, which would make her feel inhibited and prevent her from picking out her favorite one.

After Eli received Olivia's message, he unleashed his wind magic, and as fast as he could, carrying the sound demon that had escaped earlier, infiltrated Olivia's room through the open window. Temporarily hiding.

Olivia closed the door and went to the ball with her cousin, who was already waiting outside the door.

Normally, when Olivia is not there, of course, there will be a waiter to clean this room, but after Olivia moves in, without Olivia's permission, naturally no one will trespass into this room that belongs to her.

Duoduo had already gone to explore the way, and Eli and the sound demon were waiting for Duoduo in the room that Olivia's cousin had prepared for her.

Olivia took Ernest's arm and made her way to the center of the dance floor. Beautiful face, gentle dancing.

She quickly became the center of attention throughout the ball.

As Olivia dances, she has seen the Band of Music Magic playing dance music in the corner.

She felt that the sound demons seemed to be in good spirits, and she felt more and more that the sound demon who was with Eli was lying out of his mouth.

Although my cousin raised the sound demons, a real gentleman like him must treat the sound demons with courtesy, and it is impossible to handcuff them and abuse and beat them.

She talks about the music demons who are playing for them during the dance, and learns that her cousin's motive for buying them is to protect them from being bought and mutilated by some ill-tempered people, where the cousin is ostensibly their master, but in reality it is more like a "hire" relationship, they play music for their cousin, and the cousin provides them with the necessary supplies to meet their needs.

Olivia began to feel that these sound demons would be more comfortable living with his cousin and living the equivalent of being "hired" by his cousin than living a life of exile and being bought into slavery by others.

But she still felt a little uneasy in her heart, what if Eli's investigation proved that it was not the escaped handcuffed sound demon who was lying, but her cousin, who had always loved her and spoiled her, was lying?

----------

With Toto's help, Eli managed to avoid all the people in the castle and followed the sound demon to the basement where they lived.

No, looking at the iron cages and all kinds of torture instruments, this is not so much a residence as a prison.

"Hey, Yaheng, you've been captured again, let me think about how they're going to teach you a lesson this time?" said a sound demon locked in a cage to the sound demon next to Eli.

It turned out that the sound demon who escaped was called Yaheng, and Eli remembered that they hadn't exchanged names yet.

Aham said to the sound demon, "No, Avery is our partner, he is here to save us. I've managed to escape, now let's run together!"

"Run? You're always so naΓ―ve, and what if you get out, and then you're caught by someone else?"

"But you can't do nothing!"

"Because we can't do anything! ”

"No, there is no life, life is in our own hands, and you were arrested because you were willing to be caught. We want to live with dignity!"

"Dignity?haha!" he said dignity!" This time not only Avery laughed, but the other sound demons who were locked in the cage laughed.

"Where is the dignity of the weak. ”

Eli couldn't stand it anymore, and then he suddenly remembered the speech he gave when he was inaugurated as king when he watched "Game of Life" before. He modified it slightly, and said to the group of sound demons.

"Weak, that's right, your sound demon clan is indeed weak!

Displaced in this world, losing ground and retreating.

Why? Because you can't use magic, because of the fate that you can't change?

Once, in the world-class war of the Great War of the Thousand Races, even though you were the weakest demon clan, you still survived!

Why?

You can't learn all kinds of witchcraft like the Terrans. There is no physical fitness of other demon clans. There is no super long life span of elves and bloods.

But you survived, why?

Because you are weakling.

It's the same in any era.

The strong sharpen their teeth, and the weak sharpen their wisdom!

The weak can give up their dignity, but they can't give up their wisdom!"
