Chapter 8: Time is her friend
The changes in Buto City spread throughout the world in a very short time. Within a week, newspapers all over the world published headlines such as "The Demon King is suspected of resurrecting."
"The Demon King has taken back his left hand, and the former hero A. Godora and the Scarlet Queen are suspected of betraying humanity."
The eye-catching headlines told the world that the Demon King who seemed to have dominated the world was coming back.
In the Central Empire of Humanity, the king summoned the "new hero."
"Brave Frodnik. The Demon King has taken back his left hand. His terrifying rule may spread to the world again. The old hero has forgotten his glory and has become the enemy of mankind... Do you have the ability to undertake your mission?"
"Your Majesty!" The new hero named Frodnik knelt on one knee, his handsome face full of rebelliousness. "In the past, I remembered the merits of the old hero and only cut one of his tendons. I spared his life without killing him. Who would have thought that it would become the root of today's disaster? Frodnik will definitely correct his mistakes. Whether it is the old hero, the repeated traitors, or the Demon King... All will be defeated!"
"Then I'll leave it to you! Brave!"
...
"I said, why are you two following me?"
Moher stopped her steps, she came back to her senses and looked at a big stone.
From behind the stone, Dora and Lisiduo came out.
The bloody queen or the vampire queen hid behind Dora and did not dare to look her in the eye.
Moher's expression was quite cold: "I think you should know that I will not do things according to your will. Of course, if the brave man wants to force me to do something by force, that's not a bad idea. After all, I finally got my left hand back. I don't care about it now. There is a possibility of being coerced. And I can indeed give the waste in front of me a longer life with the power of my left hand."
Doro heard her cold words and even thought that the girl who took care of him a few days ago was just an illusion, but that was a matter of course... After all, he already understood that the demon king was using him a few days ago, and his every behavior was expected by the demon king.
But it's ridiculous to say that Moher's use of this level of use was okay, at least compared to the pain he felt before, it was undoubtedly much better. And she didn't hide her thoughts.
Doro felt that what she said to him was not false.
"Moher, I think we can talk."
Hearing his words, Moher couldn't help but laugh. She walked towards the two of them and leaned on the stone where they had hidden before. Her smile became more and more frivolous, and she kept examining the two of them: "It's not impossible for me to save this waste. But Master Brave, I hope you can understand one thing. I have just taken back my left hand. There is no reason for me to spend my strength to extend her life, unless there is something that makes me feel that I will gain more."
She clearly put forward the expression of the transaction.
"For example, the loyalty of a certain hero... If you are determined to save Lisi Duowei, I think you can get married. In this way, she has the identity of a hero's wife and is worth being saved by me. Correspondingly, Master Brave, you have to work for me. Become the new king of the Demon King's Army. My deputy, what do you think of this deal?"
Before Duo Luo spoke, Lisi Duowei stuttered: "I, how can I be worthy of Master Godora, that..."
Although she said so, the expectation in her eyes could not be hidden.
So, maybe this guy betrayed her in the past because he really liked this hero - or maybe he fell in love with him when Duo Luo saved her? Mo He didn't care about this. She just looked at Duo Luo with interest. Because she knew that this man would never agree.
"Mo He, this is impossible."
The expectation in Li Siduo's eyes suddenly turned into disappointment, but she still tried her best to hide her thoughts and didn't want Duo Luo to see it.
Moher spread out her hands, she leaned against the stone, with a rather lazy temperament: "It doesn't matter, you humans do business, isn't it about asking for a sky-high price? The price can be negotiated~ I can also make some concessions here, since you are unwilling to serve the Demon King's army, I will not force you, after all, you humans say that everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force someone who is not loyal to me to be loyal to me. After being attacked by you before, I have learned some lessons, don't you think so, Lisiduowei."
The meaning of her words is self-evident. As for who is the person who is not loyal to her, of course it is the vampire queen in front of her.
Feeling Moher's scrutinizing gaze, Lisiduowei's body began to tremble.
After seeing this situation, Duo Luo took a step forward, covering Lisiduowei's body and blocking Moher's sight.
"You are really a flower-guarding messenger, brave man. You have been harmed by women, but you are still willing to help and believe them?" Mo He said puzzledly, "When you were in pain, this woman remained silent and watched your fall and destruction... You saved her before, which can be said to be a repayment for her kindness in helping you in the past. You don't owe her anything, but you still want to help her now?"
Mo He couldn't understand this behavior: "Aren't you afraid that she will betray you like those people?"
Those people...
A trace of pain flashed across Duo Luo's face.
Mo He left the stone and patted Duo Luo's belly when she passed by the two people. After all, from the perspective of the height difference, it was difficult for her to pat her shoulder: "You'd better think about the matter clearly before coming to me. Now the whole world is looking for the three of us. Be careful."
She asked for a sky-high price, but she didn't talk about the follow-up.
Duo Luo knew that because Mo He saw through her heart and the fact that he was not so firm, it was like two people doing business, the seller didn't really want to sell something, so the buyer didn't buy it. Because no matter how the price is negotiated, if the seller regrets it, it may cause a lot of trouble. It's not a question of whether it's worth it, but a question of willingness.
Mo He continued to move forward alone, and the two did not follow her.
After noticing that the two did not follow, Moher's mouth curved into an arc. She knew that Duo Luo would agree, but not to become her subordinate. Although she had taken back her left hand first, the actual increase in combat power was not too high. It was enough to deal with some scoundrels, but it would be a bit difficult to deal with some famous people.
Not everyone would be attacked by her like the vampire queen.
Her bottom line was to let Duo Luo help her take back three body parts, the right hand and the legs.
The right hand symbolized the curse, the left foot symbolized the progress, and the right foot symbolized the stagnation.
After all the limbs were taken back, she would have enough combat power. Even when facing a famous strong man in the world, she could fight calmly, advance or retreat, come and go freely.
Letting Duo Luo become her subordinate... can be done slowly, she is not in a hurry. Of course, actions that can save time are good. But she is not too anxious. The most important thing now is to hide herself first. After all, she took away her left hand, and the defenses of other places would naturally be "activated".
Those defenses that had been somewhat relaxed over the past decade or so - going back to get the other body parts should be within everyone's expectations.
Therefore, she was determined to get the brave Dora. Not to mention that he was loyal to her, she was not interested in the loyalty of others, at least not now.
Humans say that every failure makes you wiser, and she thought it made sense. After what happened in the past, she did not expect the loyalty of others, so she felt more at ease with transactions and exploitation. Many people in the Demon King's army swore loyalty to her, and she asked herself that she had not treated these people badly, but the result was disappointing.
Although she did not expect much from these people from the beginning, well... if she could get Dora's help, getting the other parts back would not be a big problem. Although Dora was in a very bad state, he was the one who had defeated her after all, and there were very few people in the world who could be his enemy.
Mohe thought about these things.
When she took her left hand away in Butuo City, she also took away many of Lisi Duowei's property.
If there was a reason, Lisi Duowei would not need it anyway. She could not go back to Butuo City, because once she went back, she would be caught immediately. There must be some people waiting for her there.
It would be a good thing to recycle some of it.
Then these properties...
Mohe melted the gold part and turned it into gold coins. Originally, these gold crafts were blessed with artistic elements. Melting them into gold coins was equivalent to wasting money, but Mohe didn't care. She didn't need money that much, so it didn't matter even if it was wasted.
Since she had decided to make a deal with Duo Luo, now was the time to test her patience.
She came to a small town.
This town was called "Baixi Town".
As the name suggests, there is a stream flowing through the town. It is said that in the early morning, the stream will turn white under the shining of the early sun, so it is called Baixi.
Mohe didn't care. She just bought a manor in this place, just like what she suggested to Duo Luo.
After taking back her left hand, even if she didn't take back other body parts, she could return to her original heyday after spending decades. She wanted to act like this now-to make Duo Luo think that she was going to live like this for decades and then return to her peak state.
Time is her partner, Mohe.
However, whether hiding in a small town can really conceal her identity is another question. After all, someone can predict the future. Although she has done some concealment, there will be corresponding hints. Someone predicted that she would be defeated by the hero...
Let's play!
