Chapter 114: The Afterglow of the Banquet
"You guys planned it a long time ago, put me on the table. ”
After the toast, the delicacies began to be brought to the long tables by the beautiful human maids, and Aurora said to Lyon beside her angrily.
"Yes, do you like it?" and Rion didn't hide it at all, and answered her question very bluntly.
Speaking of which, the introduction of Lion just now and the behavior of this group of high-level demons can be regarded as a great tribute, and it is of course nonsense to say that Aurora is not moved at all, so she can only nod her head, but she doesn't know what to say.
You know, Aurora rarely goes in and out of such a noisy banquet venue, and few people will pay such a direct respect to her.
When Aurora was still an active hero, the "Aurora Hero" was known for his eccentric personality and unreasonable strength.
While the other heroes were still cultivating and looking for companions all over the world, Aurora had already broken into Eternal Winter City alone at the age of eighteen and slain the fifth-generation demon king on his throne without even anyone's help.
It's too fast, and it's too strong, the brave men of other generations will have a more or less long growth process, and when they grow up, they will build fame all over the world, meet many people, have many friends and companions, and the whole world will pay attention to him and watch him grow up step by step, like his own children
But Aurora has almost no such experience, and when she appears, she is already an invincible powerhouse above everyone, and she quickly completes her duties without the help of anyone, and this outrageous speed and extremely low sense of presence even makes people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.
Humans respect the strong, but they don't respect monsters, and naturally not many people will invite her to a banquet or anything for creatures beyond their understanding, not to mention that Aurora at that time had already killed the demon king and eliminated the evil group, in other words, humans have no place to use her, and only hope that she will stay in a deserted place until she dies.
And so, thousands of years after time passed quietly, Aurora felt for the first time the lively atmosphere of many people staying together and bragging and drinking, even though most of them were not people
"There are so many humans in this city, it's all a good thing you've done, right?"
After three rounds of drinking, Aurora curiously ate the set meal that the head chef of the Palace of the Nightless Palace had painstakingly made, while looking at the maids around her.
Obviously, the women who were in charge of serving the dishes and dressed in fairly formal maid outfits were real human beings, and judging by the expressions on their faces, there was no sense of coercion.
"Of course, there are about one or two thousand human beings living in Eternal Winter City, most of them are refugees or sold slaves who can't survive for various reasons, and working here can give them a stable living environment, and the city has also deliberately opened up human habitation areas, there will be no problem. ”
Speaking of these humans, it can be regarded as an additional benefit brought by Liyong's cultivation of konjac meat, because the high-level demons in the city no longer eat people, so the humans can work in the city very safely, and are guaranteed to be much more comfortable than they are in any human city.
Although the high-level demons look like people, they are not human after all, and it is okay to let them fight and kill or do some heavy work, and many tasks involving life are simply impossible to complete, so when these humans moved in, they brought a lot of handicrafts and light industries, adding a lot of daily atmosphere to the city.
"It's really remarkable, if the other demon kings were like you, humans and demons would have coexisted peacefully a long time ago. ”
Aurora listened to Rion introduce his great achievements, and while eating various foods made with that strange konjac meat, she felt more and more heartfelt admiration for this Shiyome who usually didn't look like a demon king at all.
Although what Lion did seemed to be a trivial thing on the surface, it changed the living habits of the demons from the root, especially when the mass production of these konjac meat became more streamlined, it was completely possible to make the demons all over the world completely get rid of the demand for human flesh.
"Impossible, as long as the creature of the brave still exists, even if we want peace, we will never be able to do it, so we can only solve this problem at the root. ”
"Roots, you mean Eden?"
Aurora was so clever that she thought for a moment what Rion was referring to.
Speaking of which, she is actually very clear, the so-called war between humans and demons, the war between the brave and the demon king, is just a conflict between the creator god Noah and the demon star gods, and the words described by a special noun are "proxy wars".
The peculiarity of proxy wars is that the conflict between the two sides is not purely caused by the two sides, nor is it ended by the will of both sides, and can never be ended as long as the top source does not open its mouth
"But before I can do that, I need to deal with a lot of things, like going to the Zehorus mural to see if what Tymin said is true, and dealing with Lilith's group. ”
Of course, Ryon also had a mission to find the three remaining powers left behind by Azathoth, but he wouldn't share them with Aurora.
At this moment, an insect demon with tentacles on his head and covered in silver-white armor appeared in the banquet hall and walked straight towards Rion.
After seeing one of his direct subordinates, Rion couldn't help frowning, and said to Aurora: "But there may be some small troubles that are approaching soon, and you are familiar with that trouble." ”
I'm familiar with it too? Aurora was a little puzzled when she heard this, after all, she didn't know many people at the same time as Rion, unless it was
"Your Highness, their team has appeared outside the city of Eternal Winter and is now camping at the foot of the mountain outside, and it seems that they are planning to find an opportunity to enter the city tomorrow. ”
This high-level demon of the insect class knelt down straight before he walked to Rion, and reported the information he had detected 1510.
"Their squad, who are they?"
"They, of course, are the team led by our apprentices, what's the matter?
Since the Quenching Blade was a Wang Sha who was sent by Liyong to specifically protect and monitor Yufeng, the meaning of Quenching Blade's appearance here was of course self-evident, and the corners of Liyong's mouth also showed a smile of unknown meaning.
That's right, at this moment, the young brave man who had been wandering in this vast ice field for a long time finally came to the outside of this demon king city, but he didn't expect what kind of turbulent scene would await him in the city
