Chapter 15: An Appointment with Evensal

Audat said, "Speaking of our agreement with the Staff of Light, the devil must discipline himself to stay away from religion and charity. 」

"That's right, that's what I'm talking about today. Mormin said, "I'm against breaking this rule. I think it's good to be able to travel freely between the earth and the demon world, and you can learn the various techniques of human beings by watching from the sidelines, and then go to other worlds to practice in the future. 」

"But a lot of people complained to me that they couldn't see the fattest benefits. It is so unfair that human beings are not guilty of human trafficking, but the demons want to drive them out of the country. 」

"Human trafficking is guilty!" Rick interjected.

"Where's the guilt?" Audat said, "Aren't all the human trafficking companies called 'International Adoption Agencies' all right?"

"It's the adoption of orphans abroad, and although you have to pay them, it's not money to buy children. Rick said. Although there is a fee, it is considered a charitable service to help orphans find families.

He thought he would hear some rather ridiculous rebuttals, such as "collecting money for children is human trafficking", but he was shocked to hear them. This incident he will never forget for the rest of his life, and it affects his view of the world.

Morming patted Rick on the shoulder, causing Tick to turn to his side, and then said softly, "What does your orphan look like?"

"Uh-no one hurts, they should all be thin, not well developed, and have no energy-" There may be a mental abnormality caused by abuse. Poor people who cannot afford to have children are more likely to give birth to children with birth defects because they do not have a prenatal check-up and because pregnant women live in poorer conditions.

"A well-off family, what about the children that my father and mother love?"

That's the other way around. "Well-developed, fleshy, healthy, bright-eyed—"

"When these two kinds of children are put together, which one do you think the one who wants to have children will choose?"

Nick was speechless, he felt the answer.

"Orphans who really need to be adopted tend to be unsalable, creating a burden on adoption agencies. On the contrary, if you can provide a beloved child from a good family for adoption, the shipment will be smoother. From the perspective of the operator, the most advantageous way to carry out "orphan adoption charity" is to kidnap the beloved children of the parents, wash them into orphans, and then export them to foreign countries that are difficult to trace. 」

In fact, kidnapped "orphans" may account for as much as 10% of all international orphan adoption cases, and many of the confirmed cases have been brokered by well-known institutions.

"Won't the government arrest you?" Rick felt that it became a little difficult to speak, and what the demon said made sense, and he couldn't refute it. This incident reminded him of an example closer to his life: the release of life. Since there are people who want to release wild animals, there are people who go out of their way to catch wild animals and sell them to those who want to release them. In the process, more casualties are caused to innocent animals.

Audat's head turned bright yellow: "Yes, they don't catch it. Anyway, if there is any problem, it is good to blame it on the "kidnapper", and the next string of accomplices who have received a share of the money can claim not to know.

"That's the benefit of charity. Even if it shatters people's dreams, it is only a "small flaw in the great good deeds", and there is no threat to the survival of the enterprise. The one-eyed demon said.

"Collecting money from children is human trafficking. It was only now that Mormint said what Rick had guessed he would say, but Nick didn't think it was ridiculous.

"Atatamopup!" the demons said in unison.

"What the hell were we talking about?" Murmingt asked again.

Xike had been thinking about it for a long time, so he didn't hear the rest of their conversation, and he didn't come back to his senses until Samihot mentioned his name.

"Why don't you ask Syk for his opinion, he's also an heir of Evangelsar. 」

"What—what's wrong?" asked Rick, looking up.

"That's why I'm here for this meeting, and I've trained him to familiarize himself with demon culture!" said Samichot with his chin raised.

How did he remember that he had planned to burn him for sacrifice?

"We're debating whether or not to bypass the Wad of Light. Murmurt said.

Rick asked, "Bypass, how?"

"We all agreed, and if we brought it up directly with the Staff of Light, they would resist. If it's a direct one, they'll do it too. So they must be bypassed. "The scope of the agreement is the land under the jurisdiction of the Scepter of Light. But the land of the Church of the True God Church is spiritually papal, and they also hate the heirs of Evansar, so we can go to the church first to help, and simply get baptized and create the image of "the devil is serious about reforming himself", and when this image spreads, we can use public opinion to force the Staff of Light to abandon the agreement. I think we should adopt the strategy that the Holy See used to proselytize in foreign continents. At first, we will simply do good deeds and distribute food and so on, and then when we become representatives of good people and good deeds, and become authorities in the field of goodness, we will use this authority to threaten them that they will be bad people if they do not do what we say."

"I think you're going to get caught before then. Rick said. He has fully understood that allowing demons to enter the realm of religion and charity will definitely cause a catastrophe in human society.

"No, human beings love stories of evil rehabilitation, enough for them to cover their eyes with faith. 」

Xi Ke did not doubt the demon's ability to disguise kindness, he believed that these guys would definitely be able to pretend to be ten million times more honest and kind than Xi Ke if necessary, but he also believed that someone must be able to see what the purpose behind the kindness was.

"If you plan to do that, I'll stop you by all means. Rick said. His "all means" are more convincing than anyone else's. Because he was once excluded from society, everything he had was not obtained by catering to others. So if he decides to do it, no one can stop him.

Including social pressures. He never lacked this, so he wasn't afraid to run into it.

"That's the answer of Evan Saar's heirs. Samihot said in a deep voice.

"Wait a minute, I can't speak for Evangel, I'm nothing in the Staff of Light—" Rick quickly corrected.

"We say you are, you are. Audat's voice also fell, as if disappointed. They use a criterion that has nothing to do with the power in their hands.

Tick thought for a moment, and hearing the demon say so many different points of view from humans, made him wonder, "What is the definition of 'authority' for you?"

Murmingt replied, "An invisible power that can be used to command others to approve of oneself, and which is socially permissible to refer to a deer as a horse. 」

Rick asked, "What about 'kindness'?"

Mormingt replied, "A personality trait that can be easily deceived and oppressed because of its tendency not to be socially antagonistic. 」

Rick paused, he knew a little bit about demon culture. He asked, "What about the heirs of Evansar?"

"Don't accept authoritative and unkind mages. Mormingt continued: "Evan Sal is really super difficult to deal with, no matter what he does at that time, he just can't stop, forcing us to sue for peace, otherwise he will directly enter the demon world." 」

Xi Ke silently thought about himself. Not noticing what Murmingt said could mean that he was very old and had lived through the events of the Evansar era.

"It's a nasty feeling that the fat in front of me can only be eaten by others. The Triangle Demon said.

"yes. The one-eyed demon said.

"If only the ruler of the Ataro was the Holy See. The Triangle Demon said.

"What about direct immigration to the Holy See?" said Audat, "and this is the time of global secularization, and we should have caught up with the trend!"

The crowd looked at him and was silent for three seconds, then burst into cheers. "Great idea!" "That's it!" "Act now!" and inevitably chant in unison, "Atatamopup!"

With shrimp stuffed in his mouth, he was worried about the future of Duozhou.

The men immediately began to discuss what to do.

After emptying the plate, Xi Ke poked Samihot with his fingertips and asked him, "You can decide for yourself, you don't have to ask the Demon God?"

The eyeball kept floating in the chair, only turning around to look at the person who was speaking, and did nothing else, and certainly did not speak.

"The Demon God won't care about us. He never cares about us. Sa Mihot said.

"But you have great respect for him. The demons who tried to force the store to open their business retreated at the sight of this eyeball. In the human world, this means that if this eyeball gets angry, those demons will be finished.

Samihot puffed up his chest and replied, "It's because he doesn't care about us that we respect him. 」

Rick nodded. He couldn't quite understand the reason behind it, but for a vague reason, he liked the standard of respect for people like demons.

At this point, his eyes moved, and he began to float towards the kitchen, and then up the hallway to Syck's room, all the way in. Worried that the Giant Maniac didn't know how to honor the Demon God's eyeballs, he hurried to catch up.

As a result, he ran in, only to see the Giant Maniac lying on the ground, gnawing on the thunderous ox leg bone that Mihot had given it before, and making a static crackling sound while gnawing.

Rick turned around and saw his eyeballs floating in front of the door at the bottom of the hallway. The door with the single-opening horn lock handle was never opened. Wick had tried to open it, but even the lockpicking technique had been used, but nothing worked.

Right before Nick's eyes, the door's horn lock retracted, the decoration on the door flattened, and then slowly sank into the ground.

A hot wind that is out of tune with the earth's season at the moment is blowing in your face. When the door to the basement opens, a world is behind it.

He saw the clear blue sky, the kind of blue that the deep, very deep ocean only has on a sunny day, but it appeared in the sky. There wasn't a single cloud, but there were countless eyeballs flying, like a flock of birds on Earth, and Rick guessed that none of the "ordinary" eyes would shed tears.

Underneath is a blinding green grassland. Flocks of sheep with thick fur that touch the ground and can't see their feet at all grazing among them. The grass kept exploding in their mouths, sending out small sparks. The small spark fell to the ground, and the foot with the tongue of fire ran away.

The demon who looked like a human standing lizard, covered with sarcoma, and carried a bamboo basket on his back spit out a letter, and at the same time used a ten-meter-long rake, far away, while the sheep were grazing, he secretly raked and combed the wool, and put the combed hair into the bamboo basket on his back. He accidentally stepped on the eyeball community in the grass, and a large number of eyeballs suddenly flew into the air, causing him to double in size at once.

Rick saw a small protrusion in the sea of grass, shaped like a termite nest, but when you looked closely, it was full of live shellfish growing on top of something that resembled coral. When shellfish open their mouths, flowers that look like sea anemones emerge from them, and some eyeballs about a centimeter in diameter burrow in and out of them.

The mountains in the distance are sharp in shape, like countless knives, but some of the mountains of the same height are covered with snow and some are covered with forests. There was a hill with a flat top, like a platform, and the mesa was as red as lava. It looked like the mountain was halfway through when it suddenly hit a high layer of hot air, and the tip was melted off by the heat.

In the valley in the middle of the mountains, nearly halfway up the mountainside, Syk saw a city in the distance. It was shiny as if it were made of glass. Reds, blues, greens, and all sorts of vibrant colors are distributed across the rooftops. Those rooftops are not only above the city, but also under the city. The city looked like two cities that grew on flat ground, one with one roof facing upwards and one with a downward roof, and the two sides were connected at the bottom and floated in mid-air.

A rainbow follows from the ground to the entrance to the intersection of the front and back cities. Numerous small dots that could be demons move on it, using the rainbow as a bridge.

Just as Nick wanted to see more clearly, the city began to rotate slowly, turning the position of the city on the upper and lower sides backwards.

The Demon God's eyes flew in the direction of the city, and the door slowly rose, obscuring Syke's vision, and finally closed completely.

Slowly, he bent down, put his hands on the ground, and sat down on the spot towards the door, his head filled with all kinds of indigestible information. He saw the Demon Realm for the first time.

This kind of otherworldly gate that is completely connected to each other cannot be done with the current magic technology. Although the demon's spells may be more advanced than those of humans, Xi Ke thinks that it should not be able to. This is a natural occurrence. That's why it became a special zone in the first place.

In the dining area, the demons were still shouting "Atatamopup", but their voices were already lazy after eating. The meeting should be almost over.
