Chapter 69: Cheap Daughter
Lu En remembers the scene.
The earth was scorched everywhere, and the blood flowed like a river, and the monsters who followed him, followed the demon king, hoping to get a piece of pure land, died under the blade, unable to resist, powerless to resist.
Lu En had thought more than once that the so-called coalition was not human at all, it was just a devil wrapped in human skin, and he cursed them to rot in the filthiest of gutters, and chopped up the shackles of these slaughtered cities and fed them to the dogs.
Now, he suddenly learned that the fall of the Demon King City could have been unnecessary, with the unlucky Demon King, Livia, Kara, and other high-level monsters who were willing to follow the Demon King, it was impossible for the coalition to break through the Demon King City so easily.
But Livia and Kara ...... From the very beginning, they made up their minds to use the hands of the coalition forces to kill the "usurper" in order to awaken the true demon king.
And whether the real demon king awakens or not, Lu En doesn't know, but he feels that the gap between himself and the demon king imagined by Livia and Kara must be extremely huge, he is not sure if he is the real demon king, but Kara is extremely sure of this, and now even Livia thinks it is true.
In fact, even Lu En was very skeptical, because these performances were too similar, and his skillful use of this body suddenly understood the knowledge of magic, so that he couldn't find any reason to doubt, everything was too natural.
Naturally terrifying, he felt his hairs stand on end just thinking about it.
But he didn't dare to show all this, for fear that Livia would see him waver.
And...... Now there are more important things.
Lu En took a deep breath and looked at Livia: "Do you know how many monsters have died because of this?" β
"One hundred and four thousand people and five hundred and sixty-one, I read the battle report of the human alliance, they use monster materials to record their battle exploits, so ......" Livia said this, unable to say anything else.
However, she immediately continued to speak, and at this time, Livia's voice was already a little hoarse: "But...... Carla evacuated them ahead of time...... Only those who can't escape...... She told me that there were about 400,000 residents in Demon King City, and most of them had fled. β
"Oh? So you're proud? Lu En said with a smile, but the smile had some other meaning in it.
Livia shook her head tremblingly, "No, I'm guilty......"
Smack-
Lu En slapped Levia with a backhand, and his voice was so crisp that even her face was slightly red and swollen.
"If you feel guilty, you shouldn't have done it in the first place, what do you think it will do for me? He said he wanted to save them, but he actually killed them for resurrection? The Demon King City was destroyed, do you think it was just their sacrifice? How many monsters are suffering in the whole world?! What is Demon King City? It's hope! It's the hope that monsters don't have to be inferior! How many high-level monsters are watching us? How many low-level monsters think this is heaven? β
"You destroyed not only the Demon King City, but also the blood of the 100,000 clansmen, and the ...... Ruined hope, you know? What will happen to the next Demon King City? Will there be high-level monsters following? Will there be the same support as it once did? β
The more Lu En spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, he couldn't even suppress his voice, and said with some roar: "Do you know what you're doing!?" Even if the Demon King City is rebuilt, will you rely on you and me in the future?! Other high-level monsters are willing to follow, so who can guarantee that they will not repeat the mistakes of the past?! Just like this time? Why am I above their lives?! Just because I'm your father? β
The more Lu En spoke, the more angry he became, he didn't know why he was so angry, but as soon as he saw the monster hybrids of Bai and Larante, recalling the appearance of the Demon King City when it was breached, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"I know, I understand, but I can't live without you, fatherββ!" Livia seemed to have heard enough, and finally, raised her head and said loudly to Lu En!
Lu En's tone froze, and the rest of the words were blocked in his throat and couldn't get out.
"I know it's wrong, I know those people died because of me, but if I have to make a choice, I'll still choose to bring you back to life, because you're my father! Neither Carla nor I can live without you! She seemed to have finally abandoned her reserve and gave up on herself: "Even if I let myself die in exchange for you, I am willing!" Mother is dead! I only have one relative, you! β
"I will atone for my sins, I will pay for theirs with my blood, I will judge myself, make amends for my mistakes, just ...... Father. β
"Before you die...... Father, I am glad to see you again. At this, Livia's eyes were red, and she staggered to her feet, ready to leave.
It's just that Lu En grabbed her.
Livia turned silently and looked at her father, looking nervous, and then relieved.
"You are not the only one who will atone for your sins." Lu En said, and then, he got up from the iron plate and looked in the direction of Larante: "And humans. β
Livia understood, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then reopened her eyes, the confusion and vulnerability she had felt before were gone, she was not a child, she knew when to do something, and when to behave something.
"What do I need to do? Father. The knight bowed her head slightly.
Lu En asked directly: "Kara will be coming over soon, what power do you have in the empire?" Or did you really become a member of a family? β
"I control a noble family, it was many years ago, I was noticed by a human nobleman when I was outside, after a vicious battle, I killed him and his entourage, and supported his distant nephew to inherit the title of baron, but that cowardly person actually obeyed me, Carla said that this can let me blend in, but there are not too many things I can do, the empire has a special identification method, even if it is me and my father, it is easy to be seen, so I have always been very restrained in doing things." Livia replied.
"That's good." Lu En nodded, and then, he took out a small round ball from his body, the texture looked like plasticine, but it was unexpectedly not deformed.
"I want to rebuild the Demon King City, but not in the form it used to be, I will let the humans help me achieve this goal, until then, I need you to help me."
"It doesn't need to be told...... That's what I want, and I'll do my best. Livia nodded heavily.
"Take this, I'll write you a plan and goals, come with me." Lu En said.
At the same time, he wiped his sweat.
Damn, it's been fooled, but how can I explain that I'm really not her father in the future? Never mind...... This is not the top priority......
ββββββββ
It's dark.
Livia carefully burned the paper she had written down and pulled out the ball.
"Well, I didn't expect that one day I would be reduced to this." From within, Yurahir's voice came out.
