Chapter 389: The Meaning of Subordinates

Using the law to hang my body upside down in mid-air, I called out the window in a commanding tone to Cyno, who was patrolling the corridors of the city.

"Hey, would you be interested in a fight with me?"

If someone else was talking like this, Cyno would definitely not look back and just throw the giant sword instead of greeting, but due to the relationship between the person he was talking to, Cyno stopped and turned around and walked in the direction of me instead.

"Lord Demon, is your conversation with the angel over?" Cyno stood in an upright position, and from what she meant, I could tell from her that I had not been able to hide from her after I left the room.

"Not long after the end, the term "highly determined opinion" may not be applicable in all cases, but since it has been circulating for so long, there must be some truth in it." Turning over and sitting on the window sill, I tilted my face and smiled, "After chatting with her for a while, I figured out a lot of things, regardless of whether it was correct or not, but the depression in my heart did subside a lot."

Cyno didn't reply immediately, but stared at me intently, and if I hadn't made sure that there was no sticky on my face on the roof, I would have subconsciously reached out and touched my face.

"Could it be that my state of youth is really so weird? Why, both you and Luvica suddenly looked at me with an indescribable expression, as if they had known each other on the first day." For a while, I found that others thought of me like this, and it was definitely a lie to say that I was not depressed, but fortunately, Cyno immediately responded, which made me a little relieved.

"My subordinates are terrified." Retracting his gaze, Cyno bowed down and explained, "In just a moment, Lord Demon King, your figure seems to overlap with another person known by his subordinates, so I accidentally lost my temper in front of you."

"Another person?"

"It's the third Demon King who has passed away now." Saying the name of another person that matched my guess, Saino lifted the corners of his mouth with the index fingers of both hands: "Although most of the memory has been lost, the deepest impression of the subordinates of the former Demon King is the smile on his face at any time."

"You mean ruffian, right?" Slightly patted Cyno on the shoulder. I crawled back through the window and complained, "I know you've worked very hard, but in fact, don't say it's Sancheng, the expression on your face now is more like a mockery of the enemy."

"My subordinates deeply regret it." Putting his hands down, Cyno's face immediately returned to his original facial paralysis appearance: "It's not difficult to control your muscles, but no matter how you practice in front of the mirror. I can't control my face and make subtle expressions."

"Well, I'm sorry, I forgot this was your minefield." Reaching out and pinching the wrinkled eyebrows, I showed a wry smile and said, "For various reasons, something is not quite right with my love today, just like the low-level fun in my own attributes was suddenly withdrawn from my body......

Hearing me say this, Cyno once again moved a meaningful gaze. The next thing she did was to undo her hand and put the back of her hand against my forehead like Luvica, and after a moment she shook her head to herself, and said, "You don't have a fever...... Probably."

"Why do you need to add about two words at the end?"

"Maybe it's because after his subordinates were reincarnated as the Headless Horseman, they couldn't feel the external temperature?"

I was silent for a moment, and then without hesitation, I raised my hand to cover the back of the other party's head, feeling that this guy's words and deeds were completely deliberately leading people to complain about her, and when I remembered that when I first met Cyno, I would mistake her for a cold three-no girl. I wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury myself right away.

It turns out that you should never use the first impression of your appearance to stereotype others, otherwise it is very likely that the person concerned will be happy to brush the lower limit in front of you in the future.

"Let's get down to business." I took a few steps and picked up Cyno's fallen head. Then put it back into the cut of her neck, Yan Sù said, "Even if it's a little sudden, can you be my sparring partner?"

"If the Demon King wishes, his subordinates should obey." Just as Luvica's patience was completely different from the past, my anomaly also made Cyno different from his previous behavior pattern of unconditional execution of orders, and asked the reason for the rare initiative, "Please be quite rude. However, he still allowed his subordinates to dare to ask, remembering that in the past, Lord Demon King had always been quite reluctant to practice training courses, so why did he rarely have an interest at this time?"

With my left palm at the back of my neck, I rolled my eyes: "It's not wrong to say it was a whim, but the main thing is to take this opportunity to empty my mind. I'm not in a normal mood right now, and even if I want to think about it, I will only come to weird conclusions, so I'm just looking for you to help me change my mood."

Cyno and Hand expressed understanding, but did not move after this, but asked again, "Did the angel say something to you?"

I put on a battered face and admitted Cyno's conjecture with a rhetorical question, "Is that obvious?"

"Here's the key clue." Cyno pointed to his eye sockets and said, "Your tears are not clean."

「…… It's embarrassing." Even though I knew intellectually that the dried tears were not so easy to wipe away, I still made a gesture of rubbing my eyes and explained to myself: "Tonight's love is more likely to fluctuate, but the person who always does his own thing on weekdays suddenly said a bunch of touching things seriously, which is why he is so wolf...... In the past, I always thought that I would never worship others or be deeply moved by their ideas in this life, but tonight made an exception."

"You mean the latter?"

"Yes, I don't know a few great men or noble martyrs, but listening to the famous sayings that have been handed down, I have never been able to resonate in the slightest, and when I ask why, the answer is actually outrageously simple, simply that those ambitions and ideas are too far away from ordinary life." I spread my palms and aimed at the moon hanging high outside the window, letting its faint light shine through the gaps in my fingertips, and then said: "I am an ordinary person, the environment in which I grew up determines the height of my own values, even if I inherit the position of the demon king and command an undead army, I can't change this fact - I only value the vested interests in front of me, and I can't seriously think about the future development, so I naturally can't listen to the sacrifices and dedication of those great men who use themselves as the cornerstone, and even after the fact, I often add a sentence with a very irsense of responsibility, Why bother?"

Hearing the twist in my words, Cyno stood silent, like a faithful listener listening to the radio anchor's chatter.

"And to say that the change in thinking is probably due to the message left by the previous demon king, who obviously made a great decision, but only understated his sacrifice, which has neither a big reason nor a national righteousness, just a childish guy's self-satisfaction for the realization of his childhood dreams." Wiping my face, I had a headache and said, "Very good, I have to say that this guy has successfully affected me, maybe in a few days I will return to my old heartless attitude to life, but this thinking has taken root in my heart...... What I inherited is not those vain wills, but a simple dream."

"Don't you like it?"

"That's the problem, and I'm so satisfied with the situation." I clenched my fist and slammed my left chest, showing two rows of teeth bitterly, and smiled helplessly: "Powerful people often carry corresponding responsibilities, this is what Luvica just said, and the former demon king just lit the fuse and made me begin to truly recognize the existence of responsibility......

Before I could finish speaking, a cold touch came, and I saw Cyno cover the back of his palm on the back of my hand without any sign, and then he was silent for a long time before he said without a word, "No change."

"What hasn't changed?"

"The warmth of the Demon King."

"Of course, if you don't have a body temperature, it's a big problem...... Then again, didn't you just say you couldn't feel the external temperature?"

"It's not the body temperature, it's the temperature of the heart." Speaking seriously, if it was an inexplicable word that would normally sound ashamed, Sino grabbed his facial muscles and pulled a raised arc of the corners of his mouth at me, and then took two steps back in the next second, imitating me to make the same posture of clenching his fists and beating his chest, and said, "Please rest assured, even if you are responsible for the responsibilities entrusted to you by others, you will not add extra burdens—if you can't carry the Demon King's full responsibility, what's the point of your subordinates?"

I opened my mouth without saying a word, and after a few openings and closings, I finally decided to integrate Yiqiē's words into the action, and opened my arms to give her a big hug regardless of the angular metal armor that Cyno was still wearing.

It's a little contrived, but it's the only best thing I can think of at the moment. (To be continued......)
