Chapter 13: The Weight of the Throne
No one knows how effective the succubi's treatment of cowardice can be according to the orders of the children of the abyss, but the "skill" of His Highness in interrogation is highly respected by Kassandra.
In the eyes of the young snake demon, the human heart is the most wonderful and elusive thing in the world, and she thinks that most people, including His Highness Andrew, will have similar thoughts as her. At first, the young snake demon felt that although His Highness's "wisdom" could turn decay into magic, she always felt that it was not the wisdom that belonged to this world, and that wonderful creativity was incompatible with the desolate and indifferent world of the demon world. It was only natural that this miraculous wisdom was revered by everyone, but at that time Kassandra always felt that something was wrong. It's like a cold poisonous snake lurking in your reach, and even if the snake demon is not afraid of most snake venoms, the feeling always makes people feel like a man's back.
That uneasiness culminated when His Highness ordered the search for the cowardly demon called Wow Paw. The young snake demon suddenly understood that His Highness's unwillingness to give up any of his subordinates, as well as his wisdom in creating a better life through labor, seemed too idealistic and too indisputable to the world! This kind of simple beauty has no soil for survival in the cruel demon world! The law of survival in the demon world is that the weak eat the strong! Plundering the weak is the cruel truth that this world continues to go on! Every tribe and territory in this world, even their former leader, the Cymorrah Conquerors, has grown in this way. Although Andrew's Highness possesses magical qualities that the young snake demon has never seen or heard of, can he lead everyone against the whole world? Kassandra could not imagine such a scene, and she felt that her oath of allegiance to the children of the abyss had begun to waver.
Yes, she had lost faith at one point.
Just as the young snake demon was pitying himself for his own frustration and the fate of his tribe, the trial of the two captives by the Children of the Abyss completely turned Kassandra's previous understanding upside down!
The snake demon felt that he was still too young, His Highness was the son of the will of the world, how could his understanding of this world be surmising!?
His Royal Highness's interrogation skills opened the eyes of the snake girl, who had been exposed to her mother since she was a child. In the Demon Realm, plundering the weak through fighting and deception has long been deeply engraved in the soul of every demon like instinct. His Highness's mastery of the human heart is so simple that it is fascinating! Through seemingly dry, repetitive dialogue, His Highness uses his unfathomable wisdom to test the line between truth and lie. Use pain and fatigue to expose the opponent's flaws, and use the suspicion and confrontation between the two captives to make them self-defeating. Such a sophisticated and brutal method is simply a stunningly perfect art!
The snake demon was ashamed of his impetuousness and shallowness. How could His Highness's wisdom be understood by a young and ignorant snake demon like her? It was not that he did not understand those intrigues and intrigues, but he was unwilling to show his "sharp" minions hidden in "wisdom" when facing his subordinates!
When Kassandra consulted the Children of the Abyss with trepidation, Her Highness's gentle smile like a breeze after the drizzle had stopped, and her word-for-word explanations made the young snake demon feel like a treasure. She stupidly asked the noble son of the abyss why he had taught himself all these valuable experiences so unreservedly.
But the Child of the Abyss chuckled and replied, "Wisdom is an irreplaceable treasure for everyone, and isn't it a wonderful experience for me to give you my wealth without losing anything myself?"
In fact, his real idea is that he thinks that he can use a method, but he has just watched a few more movies or novels on related topics...... Who knows? He can't even remember himself!
If there is any near-perfect male in this world that countless females yearn for, the snake demon feels that the unfathomable highness in front of him must be one of them.
"However, Your Highness, if you impart your wisdom without reservation, so that ordinary people like us can grow rapidly, are you not afraid that one day a traitor like Banuma will want to replace you!?"
Hearing such a "big disrespect" question from the snake demon, Andre would not be angry because of such a small matter. He smiled even more happily. For every demon race, advancing, becoming stronger, achieving a higher status, and eventually becoming a lord or even a demon king are all instincts engraved in the soul. As a time-traveler whose soul comes from another world, the Children of the Abyss don't care about these things.
"My 'riches' are far beyond your imagination, though perhaps not as much as useful to you. But it's still not so easy to replace me. β
"But what if there really is that kind of self-righteous and ambitious guy?"
Andrei thought for a moment and organized his own language: "If it is the kind of guy with empty ambitions, there is naturally no shortage of rational people in the clan, and they will naturally stand up against him for themselves and the clan. If he had gathered more supporters and stronger beliefs around him, the problem would have been my own negligence, or it would have been more likely that he was better suited to the leadership role than I was. β
"The crown of power is not as good as you think, if there is really someone with this qualification to ask me for it, what if you give it to him?"
"Your Highness, how could you have such an idea!? You are the natural king of the Demon Realm, the son of the world that represents wisdom! Who in the entire Demon Realm can be more suitable for the throne of the king than you!"
"First of all, I'm not the only child of the abyss in this world. And you're mistaken, no right is innate, even if the baby beast asks its mother for food, it has to fight with its brother. What's more, power is not such a beautiful thing, he looks glamorous, maybe only when you get it in your hands will you find that the glossy appearance is unbearable for ordinary people. β
"Your Highness, your words are too profound for me to understand. β
"If a different person can ensure the future of the clan and the life of everyone, why do I have to take on the responsibility of leader? What's wrong with studying the magic and the mysteries of this world lightly? β
"Your Highness......" Kassandra suddenly found herself the one who had touched the taboo, and if Her Highness was serious about what she said, the whole team might have a ruined fate ahead of time because of her mouthful!
Probably sensing the collapse of the snake demon's three views and the expression of being played badly, Andre realized that his concept may be a little too shocking for the aborigines of this world, in order not to expand this bad influence, the child of the abyss had to continue to comfort, "Don't worry, until that child of destiny who is better than me appears, I will not let you go and be lazy." β
Besides, without this group of followers who were willing to settle with the situation, AndrΓ© felt that there was no way for him to integrate into this strange world. This group of followers felt that meeting the Children of the Abyss was a wonderful fate arranged by the will of the Abyss, and the Children of the Abyss were not glad to have such a group of loyal and willing to obey their orders without compensation to accompany them to slowly understand such a strange world!?
Hearing Her Highness's promise, Kassandra's soul has finally returned to its place. It was only now that she realized that what was unattainable in the eyes of mortals was not as important to the transcendent Children of the Abyss. His Highness is willing to lead his people to overcome obstacles and explore the path of survival and development just because he is confident that no one can do better than him!
If there is anything that means tolerance and selflessness in Kassandra's eyes, it must be the great will of the world, she is like the mother of all beings in the demon world, giving life to every demon and letting them do whatever they want in this vast world.
But the will of the world is at the same time ruthless, and she has let such good leaders as her mother and the conquest die in the cruel battle, and she has never taken sides, allowing her people to judge heroes by success or failure. But just when the young snake demon felt that a loser like him had been eliminated by the world. As the legend goes, the Son of Wisdom, who broke the shackles of fate, came to her eyes, bringing with him a great will to grant her the protection of these helpless people...... For the great son of the abyss, Andrei Gesareth, these people are only the will of the great will, a responsibility and a burden, even so, His Royal Highness has never disliked himself as a weak loser!
Kassandra bent down deeply, her white forehead touching the green grass, her delicate palms pressed against the dirt, and the young snake demon knelt on her knees. At this moment, she felt that this was the only way to express her deep respect for the leader in front of her.
Andre helplessly watched the girl who was taller than him bowing to him so solemnly, and could only reflect on his own inadvertently saying the wrong thing again, and completing the "great cause" of deep brainwashing of a charming young woman.
Although the other party's body shape far beyond that of a normal woman gave him some kind of illusion that it was difficult to resist......
The surrounding demons don't know what's going on, but I am grateful that Your Highness can make such a decision for the safety of a cowardly demon. Under the command of such a leader, everyone believes that if the tribe needs its own sacrifice, it must also be an indispensable helpless move, for the continuation and hope of the entire tribe! Under the command of such a great leader, every warrior is willing to block his own life for the future of His Highness and the tribe, and charge into battle without hesitation!!
At this thought, all of them followed the example of their companions and paid their respects to their unspeakable highness.
The Eye of the Abyss made Andrei watch the people around him kneel to the ground, as if the "attitude bar" of their status list had risen to reverence.
The goal of the lord and the demon king is indeed a deep pit in itself! And it also comes with a murderous brainwashing business......
Remembering that there was still such a crowd of chasers behind him nowhere, Andre felt that he had probably been hopeless for a long time.
Does this bullshit son of the abyss have any substantial benefits other than the inexplicable "status bar"!?
Andre feels that even if a guy like himself is a little smarter than everyone else, and he still has the visual effects of wild and cool, black gas surging, he is still hopeless......!
