Chapter 13 Miscellaneous Conversations

"So there's a demon in the city?"

Lucia sliced the whitebait with a knife and put it in her mouth to savor it.

"It's more appropriate to say that there is something planned in this city, at least to be sure that there is definitely some connection. ”

When Einstein saw Lucia, he immediately reported what he had seen yesterday.

- Demons...... It's a nuisance again. Lucia thought for a moment with her fork in her mouth.

"Forget it, leave them alone, they can't afford to make much trouble in peacetime anyway. ”

Continue to eat delicious fish, Lucia said casually.

Einstein bowed unhurriedly.

"All for my lord. ”

Compared to the eldest lady and deacon, who exuded an aura of 'don't care' from beginning to end, Jonathan was not so calm.

"You guys are too relaxed, think of a way, you must know that it's a demon, it must be carrying out some kind of big conspiracy!"

"What conspiracy?"

Lucia turned her head to look at Jonathan suspiciously.

"Uh......"

Jonathan was stuck in his throat by Lucia's rhetorical question. Of course, he couldn't have known what the conspiracy was, it was just ordinary speculation, and who knew that Lucia would be wrong.

"Destroying this country or something...... of?"

Looking at Lucia's innocent eyes, the nonsense Jonathan immediately bowed his head.

"Sorry, I guessed. ”

After receiving the answer, Lucia continued to fight the silver fish, explaining to Jonathan by the way.

"We don't know anything about the goals, means, and plans of those demons, and even if we want to thwart them, we can only wait for them to show their feet, and as we said before, those demons can't make a big move at the moment, so don't panic. ”

I did say this before, Jonathan didn't care too much about it as perfunctory, and now that it was mentioned again, I felt that maybe Lucia's words had some basis.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Lucia glanced at Einstein and asked Einstein to solve it, but Lucia just said casually, she didn't know the specific reason.

Einstein, who had received the hint from his master, nodded, and instead of explaining it immediately, he asked Jonathan a question first.

"Before I get into that, I want to know what you know about demons. ”

After all, Jonathan was just an ordinary person who wasn't even a soldier, and he didn't know much about demons, almost all of them heard from missionaries, and it didn't take long to sort out the relevant information.

"Roughly speaking, it is ferocious and brutal, taking pleasure in the suffering of others, attacking the human world from time to time, and especially likes to participate in war...... Something like that. ”

Einstein didn't think that ordinary Jonathan could have much information, so after Jonathan told what he knew, Einstein just nodded.

"Pathetic ignorance, but it's about right. ”

Can't this guy not raise the bar one by one?, Jonathan thought.

"Subjective impressions such as ferocity and brutality have no value, so I put them aside and take pleasure in the suffering of others, but it is not accurate, but it is accurate to say that 'the power of the devil comes from negative feelings'. ”

Einstein paused, giving Jonathan a moment to buffer before continuing.

"Fear", "hatred", "pain", "despair". This kind of negative emotions will become energy flowing into the "Demon Realm" where the demons live, and become the power of the demons, not only negative emotions, but also "blood", "killing", and "chaos" will also make the demons stronger. That's why you, the Devil, will attack the "Present World". ”

When Jonathan heard this, he immediately thought of Lucia's reason why demons couldn't make big moves.

"Is it because of a lack of energy?"

In recent years it has been peaceful, and I have not heard of any wars.

"No, it's not that there is a lack of energy, it's that there is no need for excess energy. ”

Lucia finished her meal, put down her knife and fork, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

"As my lord has said. Demons are cruel, bloodthirsty and warlike, but superior demons are a bunch of cunning creatures who are more intriguing and selective than humans. They will send their men to sow chaos in the "present world", but they will not wage war as easily as humans. ”

Albert Einstein took over.

"The most important thing is that the stronger the demon, the more difficult it is to cross the border, and the higher-level demon needs at least the energy generated by the war at the national war level if it wants to cross the border. ”

Einstein had a sneer on his face.

"This is thanks to the gods you believe in, and the result of the checks and balances between gods and demon gods is that neither of the two sides can easily cross borders. ”

It's like two jackals fighting for a piece of meat and can't move, and as a result, they can only stare through the jerky, and no one can eat the meat in their mouths.

Ignoring Einstein's ridicule, Jonathan wasn't a believer anyway, and he cared more about the demons he had seen before than this one.

"Well, that Mephistopheles is just an ordinary demon. ”

"No, Mephistopheles is the closest superior demon to the Demon God. ”

Jonathan didn't know what to say, his mouth open and closed like a fish. Lucia, who had just eaten a snow silverfish, was almost amused.

"That's why I'm bothering my lord for the sake of demons. Mephistopheles would rather be restrained and most of his power would have entered the present world in person, and the plan must be not small, almost a problem that can move. ”

"This contradicts the original, right?!"

Jonathan finally screamed, and found that the boss was attracted by his loud voice, and was looking at this side curiously, and quickly lowered his voice.

"Didn't you say that it's okay because the superior demons can't come? Isn't it all already here, no matter how you think about it, there is a big conspiracy. ”

Lucia pouted from an angle that no one could see. She can say that it is just a rhetoric used to fool Jonathan, but in fact, she just doesn't care much, and even if she is interested, she is still watching the excitement.

"It's pretty much the same. ”

Einstein replied with an unchanged smile.

- That's a lot worse, okay!" Jonathan complained to himself. However, he also saw clearly that Einstein didn't care about the life or death of anyone else except for his own master, and the eldest lady Lucia basically watched the fun.

"Okay, okay. ”

Jonathan sighed, and put the demon problem aside, thinking that no matter what happened, it would not be his turn to worry about the little person, so he changed the subject with the typical mentality of a tall man with the sky falling.

"Where's the house, the one that the demon gave you when he left, do you want to live there?"

Einstein turned to Lucia, and the master's decision was his intention.

Seeing that the eyes of the two were focused on her, Lucia tilted her head and thought about it, and finally decided to live in it. Since it is indispensable to live here and have a house, you can save even buying it for free. As for whether the demons moved or not, Lucia was not worried at all, she believed that Einemon would take care of it.

"We'll move in, and the safety will be left to you, Albert Einstein. ”

Albert Einstein saluted respectfully.

"All for my lord. ”

Then Einstein said to Jonathan again.

"I'll leave the cleaning and other chores to you, mud rat. ”

"Huh?"

Jonathan, who was suddenly named, was stunned.

"I'm in charge of security and my lord's attendants, and of course I'll leave the rest to you, and you're looking forward to it so much, you won't refuse. ”

Jonathan's face turned green, and he wanted to refute but didn't dare, so he could only pinch his nose and swallow it. Just buy a lesson, next time don't talk nonsense, Einstein not only raises the bar well, but also digs the pit even more.

Watching the interaction between the two, Lucia let out a crisp coquettish smile.

"This is the so-called bad friend, you two have a really good relationship. ”

The first time Lucia saw it, she always found it interesting.

Jonathan immediately wanted to deny it, but looking at Lucia's happy expression, he couldn't bear to spoil the style.
