Originally, there were no demons in Syria, only humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, humanoids, and all kinds of monsters.

More than 1,300 years ago, the first dark elemental mage appeared. Under his activities, the creatures of this world saw dark magic for the first time—rage, annihilation, and that kind of destructive power was far inferior to even the fire elemental thunder elemental magic. Wherever dark magic goes, all that is left behind is death and scorched earth, which is simply synonymous with destruction.

With the passage of time, whether among elves, humans, or dwarves, more and more mages with dark elemental physiques were discovered, and this series of magic has developed considerably. Dark element magic is very powerful, among magicians of the same strength, dark element magicians are more powerful than other magicians, so more and more people study dark element magic, and the country has also specially formed a dark element magician legion, making this department more and more powerful. Although it has a short history of development, it quickly catches up with mainstream magic and then becomes one of them.

However, nothing that is powerful is for nothing. Dark elemental magic is powerful, but it also comes at a price. In the world of Syria, all magicians know a common sense: the elements affect a person's personality. For example, the element of light makes people kind, fire makes people lively, thunder makes people irritable, wind makes people calm, earth makes people calm... This is elemental assimilation, and at the same time being corrupted by the elements. As the strength increases, the influence of elemental assimilation on the mage's personality will also be stronger, but the mage's own will will also grow, so the influence will be limited to a certain range.

The dark element, like its rampaging dark elemental magic, is berserk in its own right, and its influence on people is just as great, and its effect on the user is to make people berserk, even lose their minds, and become monsters that only destroy. Although the strong-willed person can resist this assimilation and stick to his heart. However, the erosion ability of the dark element is too strong compared to other elements, the more the dark element is used, the stronger its erosion becomes, many dark element mages have not been able to hold on, and eventually become a monster that has lost their minds, and it is not an ordinary monster, the destructive power of dark element magic is far from being comparable to other elements.

As the number of berserk dark elemental mages continues to grow, so does the damage these monsters are causing to the world. Eventually, the Wizards' Guild banned dark elemental magic and expelled the dark elemental magicians. All countries and races also began their own actions, they regarded the dark elemental mages as fierce beasts, and purged all the mages in their own territory, and countless dark elemental mages died as a result. The status of the dark elemental magician, who was once favored by various countries, fell into a trough in an instant, and the development of dark elemental magic also suffered a huge blow, falling from the peak to the trough.

In order to avoid wanted and pursuits, the dark elemental mages had to hide in the deep mountains and forests. Some of them fled to the barren northwest and hugged each other together. They abandoned their original race and changed their name to the Demon Race. With their combined efforts, the demons repelled threats from all sides and established their own nation, Odra in 1261 of the Aramaic calendar, more than 1,100 years ago. At the beginning of the establishment of Odera, the countries also sent coalition forces to crusade, but due to the strong dark magic of the demons, each country also has its own ghosts, so the coalition has never been able to defeat Odera, and finally had to give up. And Oderra's victory also caused more wandering demons around the world to join them, which made Odera stronger and stronger. Later, a great magician of the demon clan created a magic pattern, so that the demon clan finally got rid of the erosion of the dark element, and after more than a hundred years of development, Odera's strength is also unprecedentedly strong. At the same time, their king, and the most powerful Darkelemental Mage since the advent of Dark Elemental Magic, the Demon King Saka Aindran Ochie Vidolander, was born. He led the army of demons to take revenge on the world, and the biggest war in history broke out. In the following ten years, the demons were invincible, defeating the armies of various countries, and once occupied a large territory. The world was strewn with corpses and rivers of blood because of this war, and countless people were displaced until the saint Slyle appeared.

Thousands of years ago, the Demon King was defeated, and the Demon Clan was defeated and retreated to Takla Island in the northwest of the mainland. The demons tried to fight back, but all of them failed. The coalition army also tried to land on the island and wipe out the demons, but they failed to do so, so they had to send heavy troops to garrison the northwest coast to prevent the demons from counterattacking. The stalemate between the two sides lasted for nearly a thousand years. Until now, there are still a large number of troops stationed in the northwest of the continent, and at the same time, the demons have not been able to set foot on the continent for nearly a thousand years.

There are no demons on the continent, and if you want to capture the demons, you have to go to Takla, but that is the territory of the demons. According to Lu Kaifeng's current knowledge, everyone in the demon clan is a dark element mage, and this alone is enough for those slave traders to drink a pot, plus the dark element mage is powerful, so most of the guys who fought this idea stayed on that island. This also leads to an increase in the cost of capturing demons, coupled with the fact that scarcity is expensive, as well as the comparison of nobles or other distorted psychology, which makes demon slaves more and more precious. Slave traders pride themselves on being able to sell demon slaves, which is a symbol of strength.

So, that's why Lachey has this expression.

In the iron cage in front of him, there is a demon clan locked up. She was about ten years old, a young girl, with long hair of the same color as Lu Kaifeng scattered over her shoulders, her thin body was only covered with tattered linen, and although her bare skin was stained with mud, she could imagine the original whiteness and elasticity, which was not much better than that of an elf. It is estimated that this is also the reason why demon slaves are favored.

She sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, her head bowed, as if she was asleep. Until the two stopped in front of her, there was not the slightest reaction.

Raki pulled out an iron rod out of nowhere and knocked it on the cage.

"Bang-Bang-"

The sound of percussion echoed here, crisp and rhythmic, but in the girl's ears, I am afraid it was the cry of the hungry ghost of hell.

The girl raised her head slightly and glanced at the two. From this, Lu Kaifeng also saw her appearance. Although the immature face is stained with filth, it is difficult to hide the beauty underneath. The exquisite magic pattern was outlined on her forehead, like a delicate picture scroll, and under the willow eyebrows were a pair of big eyes, but they had lost their original beauty. It's just that after seeing Lu Kaifeng, the girl's originally dim eyes glowed with a little luster, and a trace of tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes, drawing a pitiful trace. She got up and ran towards Lu Kaifeng, lying on the edge of the cage, with a pair of big watery eyes, looking at Lu Kaifeng expectantly.

That look is like a child waiting by the window for a parent who has not come home for a long time.

Lu Kaifeng's heart twitched violently.
