Chapter 53: The Demon Seed in the Blood Pool
The annual rainy season is the most important season of the year for most of the life in the Demon Realm.
Everything grows, and food is almost everywhere. As long as the newborn cowards survive the first rainy season in their lives, at least more than 30% of them will be able to get the chance to advance.
The beauty of the rainy season cannot be overpraised, but the demons living at the foot of the Shattered Sky Mountain have not been deeply touched by this season. There is no shortage of necessities for life here, and relying on the craftsmen of the dwarves and elves, all the demons have put on carefully sewn clothes and lived in sturdy stone houses. In the past, the beautiful scene of succubi bare-chested breasts in front of the public can no longer be seen, and the demons under Andre's command are not only accustomed to separate toilets for men and women, but even set up separate washrooms for men and women.
The dwarves and elves suddenly found that the living habits of this group of demons were almost no different from them, except for their appearance. This made it difficult for even the elven elders who had lived through the world war to connect this hardworking and kind tribe with the heinous invaders. Perhaps, as the teachings of the Goddess preached, all living beings are born into this world without good or evil. Just as the Nightblade Leopard hunted the deer for food, perhaps the demons thought they were just trying to find a home where they could thrive. It's just that in the end, because of the differences in customs, contradictions, and some unknown secrets between different races, it finally led to a tragedy that almost swept the entire continent - the epic war between the demon race and the Garandia nation.
Whatever the reason, at least Marserion had understood that the contradictions between the demons and the Garlandia beings were not completely irreconcilable. Although this may be difficult, as long as there are more wise demon leaders like Andre, that beautiful homeland has multiplied for generations, and the peace-loving relatives are not unable to accept these alien races from the demon world - although the door of the world has been closed, it will not be permanent, otherwise the king of all nations will not open this door connecting the two worlds twice.
It's just that the current Andrarui is as small as the cowardly demons in front of the demon dragon compared to the group of abyss lords under the command of the king of all nations back then...... If Thornleaf Village and the Limestone Clan can help the wise Children of the Abyss grow?...... Perhaps, when the gates of the world open again, Galandia will no longer have to face all the enemies of the entire world to launch a tribal invasion!
Worried about this, the Druid Elder had consulted every leader of Andrarui about what Garandia meant to the inhabitants of the Demon Realm.
The answer made his heart very heavy, and all the leaders of Andrari, except for André himself, thought it was an ideal land of abundant food, and if they had the chance, they all wanted to look at the world and see if it was as beautiful as the legend depicted.
If that alone is the case, Marcerien has nothing to worry about. But some of the radical leaders of Andrarui had even felt that, as rumors had suggested, the weak aliens of Garlandia were unworthy of the rich land. If it weren't for their leader, Andre, who made them understand the civilization of alien civilizations and the reasons for their prosperity, this group of demons who didn't have much concept of Garandia might still maintain such a twisted mentality when facing dwarves and elves.
As far as Andrei knows, there have been leaders of a few world powers in another world who have dragged the whole world into the whirlpool of war in a similar way. The people of the countries that started the war were even convinced of the righteousness of their actions! The values that had been forcibly distorted still had a profound impact on relations between countries and between the peoples of the two countries, even in the era in which Andrei lived in his previous life. It was not until the advent of the information explosion era, when the information that the people had access to was no longer fully controlled by the leaders of a country, that this seemingly unbelievable impasse was improved to a certain extent.
For the sake of interests, two mutually hostile countries are able to trade and compromise with each other to a certain extent. Andrei doesn't have any special hatred for the people of Garlandia, and in the eyes of the children of the abyss whose souls come from another world, this should be a more universal value.
It's just that the fate of the two worlds is still too far away for Andrari now, and the Children of the Abyss, who only have a few dozen subordinates, are like a fluttering butterfly in the jungle, and no one would have thought that his weak wings could set off a storm that would deeply affect the two worlds.
Marcellion couldn't tell how far Andrari's Children of the Abyss could go, but he was still willing to do his part to contribute to the growth and development of this special demon clan. Because the old druid knows a very simple truth, and it may be expressed in different ways between two different worlds, but the truth is the same - no step, no thousand miles.
At present, Andrari's development is only a lack of a steady stream of reserves compared to other ordinary demon realm tribes. The crops in the farmland were growing much more than the druids had expected, and the pool of blood in the farmland did not bring more surprises to this demon tribe that was far from powerful enough.
In the realm of the Shattered Sky Mountain, this unnaturally formed pool of blood failed to give birth to new life. This did not surprise everyone, if it was so easy for Shattered Sky Mountain to give birth to newborn cowardly demons, the living space of Thornleaf Village and the Limestone Clan would have been squeezed out of breath by the tribe composed of newborn cowardly demons for nearly five hundred years.
You must know that the prosperity and decline of the demon tribe are not something that these immortals, who are accustomed to a peaceful life, can keep up with.
However, the fact that the Shattered Sky Mountain could not breed cowardice as a reserve force did not mean that the entire swamp area could not be brought. Andrei had already considered whether to send a search team around the swamp to find pools of blood that might exist. It's just that Andrarui does not have the conditions to realize this vision at present, and the entire tribe, including Andrei himself and Kulani, who has just advanced successfully, has only fifteen chieftains, seventy-eight cowards, two large birds, sixteen domesticated dogs, and three litters of poultry...... And a shadow marten.
Marserien had already consulted with the elders of the village when he heard about Andre's idea, and if necessary, the Thornleaf Village and the Limestone Clan could even send some men to help Andrari go to the edge of the swamp to find a natural abyssal blood pool to replenish the personnel. The vast Shattered Sky Mountain can support at least tens of thousands of people, not to mention that the demons under Andre's command also have enough experience to obtain some necessary living materials from the more vast swamps.
Just as the Children of the Abyss and the Druid Elders were planning the future...... Wow Jaw more than ten days ago, when he first started to serve as a guard by the blood pool, he accidentally fell into a swamp black thorn seed in the blood pool, but it had already unknowingly completed a wonderful change.
Elune, who had already observed this wonderful phenomenon, regarded the accident as a whim experiment, and the pool of blood had helped Ambi successfully complete the transformation of his life, and also caused Curani to have a strange change in his progression. And what can a thorn seed grow into in this pool of blood? Miss Druid was curious. Even Livia, Waclaw, and Kulani, who had nothing to do before, kept an eye on the growth of the seed every day. As soon as the thorns peeked out of the pool of blood, Elune realized that the pool of blood no longer channeled its magic power to the marvelous plant.
The young druid decided to take the thorn, which may have special magical powers, out of the pool of blood, but when Elune stared at the strange plant that had been bred by accident with her big beautiful eyes, the young succubus beside her, the newly advanced Kulani, and the lame cowardly demon also lost their minds like Miss Druid. The four of them stared blankly at the demonized thorns bred by the blood pool, and no one said a word.
It was a bright red ring of thorns entangled in a complete ring!
If you look at the shape alone, it is not much different from the garland that the elf brides wear on their heads during the wedding. It's just that this ring of thorns is not only strange in color, but as a plant that grows in a special environment, its form is beyond Miss Druid's knowledge.
This ring-shaped plant has no root system, and when it is taken out of the pool of blood, it is a complete ring, which is completely different from the black thorns that are everywhere in the swamp!
In his excitement, the young succubus even accidentally had his finger cut by the sharp thorns on it...... An even more astonishing change occurred - it absorbed Livia's blood! In the blink of an eye, the blood that should have remained on the thorns and the wounds on the succubus's fingers were gone, as if they were pure hallucinations!
By this time, even without Elune's words, Wow Paw could see that this thorn ring was not simple.
However, they never imagined that this strange plant, which seemed to be an accidental product, would be enshrined in the future, and it would grow by absorbing the mixed beliefs and beautiful dreams of all living beings, and was dubbed the "Abyss Walker's Crown of Judgment" in the widely circulated stories of Garlandia, and became a symbol of the supreme imperial power of a great empire sung by countless bards!!
It was also called "Andrari's Bloody Crown of Thorns......"! The fantasy version seems to have been occupied by transformation texts and light novels, and many fantasy masterpieces have been driven to the game version with the license plate of the system flow...... I beg all readers to give me the motivation to keep moving forward!!
