In the first year of the New Era, the Demon Lord was vanquished by the Hero, split into thirteen parts, and sealed across the world, with only their soul reincarnating.
Sixteen years into the...
Chapter 141 A Favor
In the palace of the Ice and Snow Kingdom. In
Moher's room.
The girl suddenly looked at the door with an inexplicable smile on her face.
"Mr. Duo Luo, you left with such great power, but you came back so secretly. This is not good, right? At this time, shouldn't you show your power and glory?"
Although Duo Luo's expression looked a little gloomy, Moher seemed to have no awareness of stepping on a landmine, and spoke in the same sarcastic words as always.
Doro held the glass bottle in his hand in front of Moh: "Is this what you need?"
"Hmm~" Moh stared at the life dew inside for a while, "This is not what I need, Mr. Doro, this is what you need."
"What I need..."
Doro seemed to understand something, and he took out another sealed liver: "You want to absorb this again?"
Moh still shook his head: "Miss Elf has been dead for many years. If I want to use my liver as material for her resurrection, I can only use it. Otherwise, it is basically impossible - but this liver alone is not enough, I also need my horns, you know, creation and destruction. It is no longer realistic to resurrect her as a snow elf, but it is possible to be reborn as a new species."
Doro narrowed his eyes, revealing some dangerous aura: "It didn't seem to be the case when you helped the people of Buto City deal with the flesh before."
"When I resurrected Rose before, I told you that within three days... the people in Buto City will be resurrected because their souls are in my jar... You can certainly question such words. However, I still admire Miss Elf. After all, you know that even if Adriana intervenes, not every undead can maintain such a long time, and not always be able to maintain rationality. After all, the emotions that usually maintain the existence of the undead are hatred and unwillingness, and such emotions will make the undead further distorted."
"I understand your horns."
He stopped asking about this issue.
Instead, he handed the liver to Moher, and then left quietly again.
"How cold~ It seems that I will definitely save Elf. What do you think, Miss Sword Saint?"
A. Sion just shook his head.
"Well... Never mind, maybe I should do what I should do. The Thunder Emperor said that he is a symbol of punishment! He said he wanted to educate him. I wonder if you were scared by Mr. Doro."
...
Although the Ice and Snow Kingdom is not particularly large, it is not just one city. Moher and the others were in the capital of the Kingdom of Ice and Snow. Of course, due to the small land area, the capital was actually no different from the border. It should be said that the only few large cities in the Kingdom of Ice and Snow were borders, and the border had no depth.
He arrived at a city where there had been no war.
He could feel the "sight" when he entered the city. He knew that this city was dominated by Adriana and was used as a place to kill himself.
He walked directly to the center of the city.
A woman named Adriana was standing there.
She had gray hair that was very similar to Doro's, but the difference was that Adriana was born with that hair, while Doro's hair turned gray after being cursed.
In contrast, Adriana's gray was more shiny, while Doro's hair was more withered.
Doro looked at Adriana, looking directly into her eyes through the lenses on her face.
"Your plan succeeded, Adriana. I killed the Queen of the Elfs - they can no longer be a worrying threat. I don't know if this was done by the Wise King, or if there was some kind of deal between you and the Wise King, but... I owe you a favor."
After many years, they met again.
But when he said "I owe you a favor", his eyes were so cold.
Adriana felt a pain from the bottom of her heart, as if someone stabbed her heart with a sharp knife, stirring it back and forth inside, but what should she do? He should have been so indifferent. After what happened before, after he came here, this should have been his attitude. What was she expecting?
"The fact that Elf can maintain herself and even the existence of other snow elves has nothing to do with me. If their hearts collapse, then no matter how superb my magic is, it will be useless. Even if the Demon King comes, he cannot revive them. This is the result of their own efforts."
She finally finished the first sentence of conversation with Dora.
"No matter what, no matter what your purpose is, I owe you this favor. So..."
He took out the Life Dew: "Moher said you need this, right?"
Adriana stretched out her hand, and the bottle in Doro's hand flew into Adriana's hand: "This is the content of my deal with the wise king. Give this thing to him, so that he can have a longer life and eternal youth. He gives me enough resources so that I can drive the demon king's horns. You know, this is theoretically the most important thing for the demon king. It is the symbol of the demon race, the great creation and destruction. It is too difficult to use it to launch an attack, even if I am the president of the Magician's Union - the state form is very convenient in this regard. The power of the union president is simply a world apart from that of the king."
The magic circle lit up in Adriana's hand, and the Life Dew was sent away through the magic circle.
Then, the whole city was covered by a huge magic circle. The brilliance of the magic circle continued to shine.
Something is brewing.
"Just like what you see - to drive the demon king's horns as a weapon to kill you, it actually takes such a long charging process. If you want, you can leave in a few seconds." Adriana finally approached Doro, "Mind walking with me in this city? Before the charging is completed."
Doro nodded: "I said, I owe you a favor, I will take this blow."
His expression was still indifferent.
The two of them walked on the streets of this city, one in front and one behind.
"This city has been emptied by me. All that exists here are magical creations. It is a deal between me and Elf - Elf knew my plan, but she didn't tell you. From this perspective, she is equivalent to betraying you, but you still owe me a favor for her. Compared with us, do you like her more?"
Doro stared at Adriana's back.
"Different in essence."
"What's the difference?"
"You betrayed me in order to kill me. She agreed to your plan because she believed you couldn't kill me."
Such words made Adriana stop, she leaned sideways: "Have you asked her?"
"No."
"Then what makes you think so?"
"Feeling."
Adriana couldn't question this answer, she could only change the way she said it: "Then why don't you think we have the same idea? At that time, we need to give an explanation to the supporters behind us. What we represent is not just our will, but you didn't respond to our expectations. We know we can't kill you..."
"It's the same feeling."
The conversation could not continue.
Doro's disgust, indifference, and resistance were almost completely exposed. He looked at the woman named Adriana so coldly.
"You hate us, don't you?"
"At this point, how can you feel that I don't hate you?" Doro's words revealed a lot of confusion, "Do you think I didn't come to seek revenge because I still have feelings for you? Do you think I didn't kill Xia Di and didn't kill Adeline with my own hands because I still have feelings that I can't let go? The magician should be the most rational person. You must admit that you never loved me. I won't love you either."
They never loved him.
This is the conclusion that the brave named A. Godora came to after being reborn as Doro.
Maybe they did have a precious and sweet time that would make people smile when they think about it, and maybe they did have a deep friendship.
But that was not for Doro.
It was just a shadow called "brave".
The saint who met him under the guidance of the goddess's fate. The relationship between A. Godora and Xia Di was a puppet manipulated from the beginning. There was a mistake at the source. The encounter with Adriana - this woman originally had the desire to kill the "Demon King" and maintain the true "balance". After becoming the destroyer of balance, A. Godora naturally became an object that needed to be excluded.
This is inevitable in the future.
A wrong start, inevitable in the future.
What else needs to be said further?
So Doro stopped.
He no longer followed Adriana in this strange city that he didn't even know the name of: "There is no point in going on, just wait here. If you can't kill me, I will take away the Demon King's horns."
He announced what he was going to do next.
The light of the magic circle lingering in the entire city became brighter and brighter, and the terrifying aura continued to accumulate.
Doro just stood there calmly.
Continuing the conversation with him would only lead to a cold shoulder...
Adriana still spoke up: "If, if you are willing to make some promises now, I think we might..."
"Maybe we don't have to go this far? You are not a child, Adriana, when did you become so naive? We all have to pay the price for our choices. It just depends on whether we can bear it."
