Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...
How should we describe Yinla? It would take many perspectives... In the eyes of the fairies, Yinla is naturally a very gentle person who makes delicious desserts and is very capable.
In Satan Ye's eyes, he was a good teacher, a friend of his father, and a savior of the Demon King's territory... In the eyes of other leaders, he was probably similar, except that he went from being a "teacher" to a colleague.
In the eyes of lesser demons and goblins, he was a great man... Of course, they would still be afraid of him.
These are all excellent descriptions...
So, what image does Yinla have in the eyes of the aristocratic class of the empire? Actually, it's quite varied, such as... a powerful but hateful, cruel guy, a cold-blooded monster, and so on.
However, there are some negative impressions all around... Are these impressions really just baseless slander? And where did Yinla's nickname "Cruel Blood Witch" come from?
Did other magicians give Yinla these nicknames out of a childish, immature mindset? Perhaps that was part of it, but given the magicians' personalities, if Yinla had always been a kind and gentle person, then his nickname would have been more fitting.
For example, [The Crimson Mage].
...
But that's all in the past. What we need to know now is... Yin Lating is disgusted by idiots trying to make things extremely complicated. It was one thing back in the Empire, but now the other party is actually putting on airs and playing this trick.
Moreover, Yinla also hates it when others block her way... not in the physical sense; if others don't block her way, she doesn't care if they act like a clown, but if they do block her way...
They even went so far as to play the clown.
That would really be a death wish...
"Tell me, why haven't you paid your offerings on time?"
Yinla spoke calmly, stepping on the back of the half-demon leader with one foot, pressing him firmly to the ground and making him prostrate himself in the direction of Satan Ye. He asked, "Don't tell me it's just for fun?"
Meanwhile, the half-demon leader named Somjet struggled humiliatingly on the ground, but because his legs were broken, he was unable to straighten up due to both physical and pain factors, even though Ira didn't use much force.
And it was at this moment that everyone... whether half-demons or other leaders, realized a side of Inra that he rarely showed was not "brutality," but "cruelty," and it was clear that he was not angry.
The World Rune on Yinra's neck remained pure black... proving he wasn't angry at all.
It was simply indifference, a disregard for life, as if he had never cared about the lives of others, as if he were stepping on an insect rather than a living half-demon.
This is a manifestation of his cruel nature... However, his usual gentleness is not a disguise, but rather the complexity of the personality of the person named Yinla.
Cruel yet gentle, indifferent yet tender.
"I just... want a negotiation."
The half-demon leader, who was being held firmly to the ground, said this as he struggled, "The half-demon territory earns so much, and the current taxes... are too high."
Oh, I see...
Because the base amount of money earned is large, the amount of gold coins that need to be paid will also increase, making it insufficient to meet the 1/10 tax rate, and thus seeking a lower tax rate? So, that's it?!
"Ugh, this is such a hassle... No way, you idiot!"
As Yinla said this, he sighed and casually moved his foot away... It's impossible to reduce taxes. If we were to reduce taxes, every territory would have to do so. It's impossible to reduce taxes in the half-demon territory alone.
Just for this reason, they went through all this trouble to create such a grand spectacle, only to ruin themselves in the end. Do they really think what they did was cool?
Under the indifferent gaze of Yinla and the other leaders, the half-demon leader lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought... To be honest, Yinla had seen this kind of action of hiding one's eyes far too often.
Moreover, judging from Satan Ye's actions, she understood perfectly what was going to happen next.
"Go to hell..."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the half-demon leader suddenly leaped up with his severed leg, and very slowly thrust the dagger hidden in his hand toward Satan Ye. Then, he was struck in the shoulder by Lothia's lance at the front and pinned to the floor.
"Pfft~"
"Cough cough cough..."
Blood spurted out... and the half-demon leader also coughed.
...
"How should we handle this?"
Lothia asked this question, first glancing in the direction of Inra, then looking at Satanye. She said, "Attempting to attack His Highness the Demon King should be considered a capital offense."
However, Satan Ye sat bored in the chair, casually swinging her tail behind her, her legs dangling in the air, and said, "He's too stupid, I can't hate him at all... Mr. Yinla, what do you think?"
Yinla shook his head helplessly, looking at the twisted and struggling half-demon on the ground. He waved his hand and said, "Kill him. This guy has only hatred in his heart and no loyalty whatsoever."
Upon hearing Yinla's words, the half-demon's face instantly contorted. He tried his best to hide the resentment on his face, but... because he was too scared, he ended up making a ridiculous face.
"yes!"
"boom!
!
As the lance crashed down, the last thing the half-demon leader saw in his vision was an ever-growing lance, and his head was shattered into pieces in the large conference room.
