Chapter 38 Discrimination and Prejudice
The ruins that had just been cleared had been erected into a makeshift shed, which now served as a meeting place for all the leaders.
Almost everyone sitting around a huge table in the entire circle sat in a different chair, rescued by some daring ghetto warrior from the "Silver Meat Grinder", a fortress that had been crumbling from the previous war.
Sitting in the first place is naturally the savior of the immortal city and the powerful "savior" Max of the people. The tall body sat upright in an ornate armchair, as if thoughtful, his eyes occasionally scanning most of the people he didn't know.
Sitting next to him was Old Jack, who didn't have any idea of being a leader at this time, but he was still sitting here at Camille's insistence, and at this time he was wholeheartedly swinging his bandaged wounds to heal, and he didn't care much about anything else.
And the rest of the people are, in turn, the staff officer and the representative of the slums of the ancient battlefield - Camille.
The representative of the Immortal City - Hank.
Bullet Farm Representative - George.
The representative of Hammer Valley - Paladin Anderson
Representative of Sackcloth Lane - "Mother-in-law Yaga"
Sewage Town Representative β "Whistle John"
These people are the backbone of the newly liberated immortal city, and they are also the last hope for this city struggling to survive in the ruins.
At this time, the demon king was very worried in his heart, he had never been a savior or a leader, and now he finally knew that his rich second-generation boss had a weekly meeting and obviously wanted to lecture, but he looked so embarrassed.
The most painful punishment in the world is to force an emperor through the ages to pick up garbage to live, and then to force a group of losers who eat and wait to die to escape problems to take on the responsibility that he is far from affording.
At this time, there was silence in the whole shed, after all, for all the participants, the opinion of the current war boss "Savior" Max must be put forward first as the bottom line, this is the rule that the winner takes all the time of the ruins, everyone understands.
"Ahemββ!" Looking at Max, who had not spoken for a long time and had a sad face, Camille, the traveling merchant, coughed lightly, and a small note touched the Demon King's feet.
As if dreaming back to the years when he was a child passing notes, the demon king quietly looked ahead while quietly picking up the note.
Peeked at it, it turned out to be a dense speech, the demon king was overjoyed at the moment, if it weren't for everyone looking at it now, he really wanted to give this profiteer who had not cheated himself before a big bear hug.
Now that the actors are in place and the lines are in hand, the debut of the Demon King in this world has begun.
"Today, we liberated this place by everyone, and I hope everyone knows that." When the speech really began, the demon king suddenly felt a sense of comfort in his heart, perhaps, sometimes he would feel relaxed by not running away. With this in mind, he continued to gamble on his dignity and future speeches.
"Yes, Immortal Old Joe, it's not immortal, we or I'm under your cover and help. Succeeded in slaying the sinner of this demonic incarnation. "Wait for me, what is a demon, no, am I not a demon? This paragraph made the demon king panic, very panicked.
"I killed the "Dead Deer" Kaba on the ancient battlefield, and I killed the "betrayal" of the Immortal City! β
"I killed the" zombie "Sean on the bullet farm, I killed the" cowardly "in the undead city! β
"Next!" waved his hand vigorously, and his over-exerted acting skills made Camille, who designed all this, almost laugh, but fortunately, he still held back with years of deep internal strength and did not cause himself any trouble.
Maintaining this magical movement, the Demon King bowed slightly to Anderson.
"I would like to thank Father Anderson, who killed Andre the "Giant" for us and "Reckless" in the Immortal City! β
Looking at the priest with a calm face, the Demon King's peeking eyes lowered a little, as if to apologize to him, and said quietly, but also in a voice that Father Anderson could hear
"I'm sorry about Ruth."
No one saw any change in the priest's face, but from that moment on, Paladin Alexander Anderson decided to abandon his plan to challenge Karn the "Betrayer" to die on his own after this memory. After all, he now felt that he might be able to trust the conscience of humanity again.
"Of course, I also want to thank everyone for killing Larry the "Rock Goat" in the final battle, and together you eliminated the "Resentment" of the Immortal City! β
"And I, just did a little thing, I killed the devil, I killed the "Immortal Old Joe", I killed-" After a deliberate pause, the demon king threw out lines that shocked everyone.
"I killed the Immortal City."
"What!" Hank, who was born in the Immortal City, almost jumped to his feet
"What do you call that, you're going to give up the Immortal City and rebuild your home with these slum rats, right!?"
Hank was the youngest attendee, and with an average IQ and a bad temper, he made the worst decision in a split second.
"Shut your mouth, boy." A sword rested on Hank's neck, and Father Anderson jumped directly onto the table, indifferently looking at the strong man in a cold sweat under the sword with the eyes of a dead man.
"Anderson, who allowed you to bring a weapon to the meeting, you hypocritical goddess?" George of Bullet Farm is a resident of the Immortal City, and he is friends with Hank's father, so he didn't hold back for a while and pulled a sideshow.
"I wouldn't mind killing you all, especially you, heretical-disciple!" Anderson's faith was insulted, and his whole person was close to the critical point of anger, and the sword in his hand was ready to be attacked, and in an instant, he could nail the weak old man to the big back chair that he didn't know where to find it.
"Look, look, this is what kind of white-eyed wolf we have worked so hard to buy with the blood of our children!" Mother-in-law Yaga, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke, and the sharpness in her words made even a "novice" like the Demon King who had little experience in the world frown.
What was supposed to be a rebuilding rally after a victory turned into a martial arts arena and a vegetable market, full of threats and vitriolic insults.
"Shut upββ! y'all y'all"
In an instant, the Demon King's roar almost blew away the already sturdy shed.
It's almost a case, the mood of the demon king at this time is more like a real anger than acting, maybe this terrible human weakness has indeed touched the pain and bottom line of this young man.
"That's why I destroyed the Immortal City! Look at you guys, see for yourself, we still have one last enemy to destroy! β
Pointing at all the people present, the Demon King roared angrily.
"The most terrifying enemy is not Old Joe, nor Andre, Larry, but yourselves! It is the prejudice and discrimination that are deeply ingrained in your hearts! β
"Everyone is already oppressed, what can we discriminate against, what prejudice is there? Isn't that enough for fifty years to make you all forget that you were originally a family!? β
The crowd was silent, and Father Anderson silently withdrew his sword.
As soon as the demon king turned away, he left everyone with a back and a stern order.
"After three days, the gates and walls of the immortal city will be demolished, and the city will be expanded to all the slums, and those who do not want to live together will leave by themselves, and I will not keep them. However, I don't want to hear that next time. β
"That's right"
When he walked to the door, the Demon King turned his head, "After the transformation is completed, the new city will be called [City of Redemption], okay?" After speaking, before the stunned people who were scolded could react, the demon king turned around and walked away.
