Chapter 69: Satan
"Lord Vader used to be a good boy, I remember the first time I saw him, it was at your grandfather's bedside, the little boy had been silent, unlike your father's lively and active, he was a little shy and introverted, he took his mother's hand, looked at us, and then turned his head to look out the window at the budding branches, maybe in his eyes, the first green of the new year is better than our two serious old men.

The old butler dragged the plate and stood quietly in the dust of the study, and he looked sideways at the night outside the window, and his cloudy gray eyes reflected a gray blackness.
"Well, good guy...... Makes sense, and fits my conjectures. Jack sat at the top of the ladder and nodded noncommittally.
He had seen Viscount Vader's hysteria and womandom in his former memories, and he didn't know if Vader was corrupt, but he had seen Vida rob a woman in the street and slap her in the face almost twenty times - only because the chaste woman spat on him with disdain.
Jack's predecessor clearly remembers the insolent smile on Vader's face at that time, but that was not the worst, the worst thing is that the predecessor clearly remembers the idea of presiding over justice in his heart and his body frozen in place as if out of control, you can't do anything, so you shouldn't step forward.
This is a rational approach, but it is not a kind of humiliation, it spurs the predecessor to continue to work hard, and at the same time, it has also become the most profound memory of the predecessor, imperceptibly affecting him now.
"You're smart. The old butler turned his head and smiled, the wrinkles woven into an incomprehensible pattern, "When the lord got the news and knew that the secret of Satan's death in the city of ashes was discovered by the devil, he had already seen the day coming, and the lord knew that if the city of ashes resisted, it would be burned in the wrath of the demons, so we had to choose to compromise, but if it was just a compromise, mankind would always be able to live in the shadow of the devil." ”
So, they chose to resist...... Is it just sneaky?" Jack asked, presumably guessing the plot.
"Yes, the Lord and the Lady decided to fake their deaths, and while the Lord of the New City was dealing with the demons, they would report to the Arcane Council, because you were too young at that time, so Viscount Vidah, your father's younger brother, the man who grew up still introverted and shy, bravely took on the responsibility of dealing with the demons. As for the lord and the wife......"
"They failed, didn't they?" said Jack, raising an eyebrow, not to mention that he was a time-traveler, and even his predecessor's feelings for his parents were very weak.
"Yes, my lord, they didn't even get out of the boundaries of Ember City before they were ambushed by demons and brutally killed in the mountains and forests. That's when we learned that Ember City had become a demonic cage......" Luke lowered his eyelids, his voice full of helplessness, "imprisoning humanity in happy peace. ”
"For the past ten years, it has been Viscount Vader, and your uncle has been working hard to deal with the demons, constantly delaying the progress of the demons, hoping that someone can discover the anomalies of Ash City and rescue Ash City. If those who perceive this cage will experience pain and suffering, then Lord Vader, who is dealing with demons, is like walking on the edge of a cliff, and the slightest misstep will fall into the abyss with the entire city on his head. Luke's voice was low and full of helplessness, "I can't help him, I can only be a qualified listener when he needs it." However, in this huge depression, Young Master Vader also slowly changed......"
"He became hysterical, irritable and crazy, sensitive and restless, obsessed with women, but felt empty in carnal desires. Jack laughed as he spoke, "He's pathetic! But I remember the bad things he did." Can a human being who has done such a bad thing be forgiven because he is burdened with greater justice?"
"Of course not, but, young master, who can do anything about a person in this life? Isn't everyone a sinner in shackles?"
"No, you didn't understand what I meant. ”
"I understand, young master, what do you mean: we shouldn't vent our stress and pain on others, right?"
"Hmm!"
"But, young master, things are often like this, easier said than done. Luke smiled bitterly.
Jack pouted, he felt he could do it himself, but he wasn't going to dwell on the subject: "Forget it...... Tell me about the purpose of the demon......"
"I also heard from Lord Vader, the demons want to find their Satan - their demon king, Satan has immortality beyond all demons, the almost immortal body contains endless magic, and the demons want to use Satan's corpse to create a new Satan. ”
"Immortal, then Satan will be killed?"
"Souls always die, back then, Satan was besieged by ten demigods on the surface of the sea - that is, where Ash City is now, their battle caused the mountains to collapse, mud and rocks to reclaim, and finally [Laugher] seized Satan's weakness and obliterated Satan's soul, in order to prevent the demon from getting Satan's still immortal, as if sleeping corpse, [Guardian of the Scales] sealed Satan in the shadow of Ash City, and revised history, so that everyone thought that Satan died at the gate of the abyss. Since then, the Scarlet family has guarded the entrance to Reflection City for generations......"
"Why do you have to set up the entrance, why do you have to guard it, why don't you just let this secret disappear from everyone's memory?" Jack interrupted Luke with a frown.
"Because, not only for demons, but also for humans, the corpse of the demon lord is also a rare treasure. Perhaps at the beginning, mankind was secretly studying Satan's corpse, but slowly, this secret was also forgotten......" The old butler laughed dryly twice, and said, "Okay, young master, I don't know about this, it's been too long ago for us to know what happened back then." ”
"Okay, then entering that Reflection City is the purpose of the demons, right? Where is that entrance?"
"Probably around the Assassins' Guild...... I heard it was in a sewer in that area. You may need to ask Lord Vida for the exact location. ”
"No!" Jack waved his hand, a wicked smile on his lips.
"Young Master, what are you going to do?" Luke's eyes widened.
"Blow it up, I'm going to blow it all up!" Jack said domineeringly.
"Young Master, even if you blow up that place, the entrance will not change, that magic entrance does not exist on the basis of a building, and besides, what about the demons?"
"Then wait for the demons to blow up when they gather at that entrance, don't worry, as long as there are enough bombs, anything can blow up into the sky!" Jack waved his arms, his eyes slightly closed, and raised his head in an expression of intoxication like that of a conductor.
"That, young master, what are you doing?"
"I'm in a lively and serious atmosphere, now that we all know so many things, what else is there to worry about~ Don't worry about it, leave it to me, oh, by the way, I was joking before~"
The old butler fell into hell of confusion.
(That's when I realized I was stupid...... I used to write "Vida" as "Vic", but now it should have been changed. )
