Chapter 189: Lead the way
Sakura reached out and touched the little devil's forehead, then carefully checked his condition.
Then Sakura said: "His condition looks very much like some kind of magic potion poisoning, this kind of magic potion is relatively rare, but I didn't expect the symptoms to occur in demons are similar to those in humans." Luckily, I came out with some medicine......"
As he spoke, Sakura took out two small bottles of potion from his bosom, mixed them together, and gave them to the delirious demon.
After the demon had taken the potion, his body finally ceased to twitch, and his mind quickly came to his senses, and he asked, "Where is this?" ”
Roland was shocked to realize that this demon's voice was too thin, as if he was actually a "woman"? It seems that it was because of the poisoning that her voice became different from before.
Because the skin of ordinary demons is dark red and speckled, and their skin has some traces of wrinkles on it, humans can't quite tell the age and gender of middle and low-level demons. So it's no wonder that Roland had that illusion before.
When the other demon saw that she had come to her senses, he immediately became ecstatic.
After the two demons whispered a few words, the demon who had stopped Sakura suddenly spoke, "My name is Barry, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”
Roland was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that there would be a demon offering to help them, and he felt a little suspicious at the moment.
The little demon Barry casually dusted off his hands, and said: "We demons never trust other people, and everything we do is for the sake of exchanging benefits. But we don't take advantage of others for nothing. You helped me just now, and I don't want to owe you a favor. I think you must have taken the risk to come to Castlevania for some purpose. Because no matter what you think, you can't be here for sightseeing, right? ”
Roland's heart was slightly hesitant. But now he has no other better way, so he can only choose to trust Barry. Then Roland spoke, "I want you to take me to the top of the cross wall." ”
"Okay, I'll take you there." The expression on Barry's face was determined.
To Roland's surprise, when he made this request, the demons around him all showed surprised expressions.
And after Barry agreed to take them, the expressions on the faces of the other demons were even more subtle, making Roland more and more suspicious of what kind of secrets existed on the top of this cross wall.
The little devil said again, "When I take you up later, you must follow me." Otherwise, I can't predict what will happen. ”
Roland nodded, and then he glanced back at Sakura, and couldn't help but worry again: Sakura looked a little out of breath now. And this cross wall is more than 100 meters high, and I don't know if she can eat it all the way.
What worries Roland even more is that the top of the cross wall is an area that they still don't know anything about, so everything is unpredictable. Roland was already beginning to regret it a little, and he swept Sakura into it. How nice it would have been if Roland had left Sakura in Two Moon City in the first place! In that case, at least Sakura's family power can protect her safety very well.
Roland wanted to leave Sakura here, but he couldn't.
Because of this journey, Sakura's performance is even better than Roland's.
Sakura Feng also seemed to see the concern in Roland's eyes, she stood up and patted the dust on her body with a pretending to be relaxed, and said, "When are we leaving?" ”
"Let's go now."
So the little demon Barry took the two of them, and after coming out of the shelter, he leaned on the root of the cross wall and pulled out a passage entrance in a very desolate looking rock field.
Roland and Sakura followed Barry inside, only to find that there was a narrow staircase that spiraled up with no end in sight, and this was probably the passage leading to the top of the wall.
The three of them went all the way up, and the little devil repeatedly told the two not to move around. From the tone in which Barry spoke, it was clear that he was also quite nervous now.
It's just, what the hell is he nervous about?
Roland asked in a whisper, "Barry, what's on top of the cross wall?" ”
The little devil stopped suddenly. Then he turned around and said with a somewhat solemn expression, "I don't know." ”
"You don't know?" Roland was very skeptical of the little devil's statement, and asked tentatively, "But isn't this wall built by you?" ”
The little devil's Adam's apple moved, and it could be seen that he was a little excited now, but in the end he was still suppressed by him.
The little demon turned around and continued to move upwards while sighing, "I'm just the weakest mid-level demon. In the city of Evenerge, it is also the lowest existence. Above us, there are high demons who rule over us. They drove us to build this cross wall. Didn't you notice that although we were the ones who built the wall, the middle demons could only live in small huts in the city? Those who can live inside this wall are all high demons. Moreover, after the construction of the cross wall, the lower and middle demons were no longer allowed to enter, so we will not know what is on it. ”
So that's what happened!
No wonder the little demons reacted like that when they said they were going to take Roland into the cross wall. It turns out that the little devil has already violated the taboo by doing this!
After listening to Barry's narration, Roland suddenly felt that it was not easy for a demon like them to survive.
Because most of the demons that Roland usually comes into contact with are summer, Ludwig is a powerful and chic high demon. As a result, he thought that all demons could live very freely.
But after walking around the castlevania city of Evenerge, Roland realized that not all demons can live like that.
The little demon seemed to see through Roland's doubts, and then he slowly spoke: "Our demon clan, from the moment we were born, has already determined the level. If I'm a mid-level demon, I'll always be a mid-level demon, and there's no possibility of leveling up. We are the hardest living level of demons. The lower demons live in caves outside the city, acting only on instinct, and can survive as long as they can find something to eat. And what about us? Not only do we have to build the city under the drive of the higher demons and take on most of the labor force in the city, but we must also acquire souls in order to live. But we can't directly snatch the souls of living beings, we can only let the other party exchange them in the form of a contract. This is originally a process of equivalent exchange, but human beings will feel that they have suffered a loss. And our ability is very weak, so we can't fulfill everyone's wishes, but this is not what you call deception! We try very hard to fulfill the wishes of the contractor every time, but in fact, we do not always achieve them. At the same time, we also have to be vigilant against the pursuit of demon hunters, and survival is really difficult for us. ”
With that, the little devil lifted up his robe. The dark red and rough skin on his body was densely lined with irregular deeds, most of which were left behind by the failure of the contract.
The little devil continued, "But do you think we want to do this? When it falls on the body, we often feel stinging and uncomfortable. At the same time, I know that the other races look at us unpleasantly and dislike us. But let me say, only demons are the most direct and pure! We will not cheat each other, and we will do our best to fulfill the contract we promised. And what about you? Human beings are hypocritical and ignorant, gods are arrogant, undead are manic, and there are a lot of bad tempers in life, who can be as straightforward and straightforward as us demons? ”
