Chapter 9 Dialogue in the Manor
Baixi Town, life in this small town is quite leisurely. Mo He hired some people to build his own manor, while she was holding a fishing rod and sitting by a stone at the entrance of the village to fish.
Of course, fishing was just a pretense. She didn't care whether she had any gains from fishing. In fact, she was refining her Demon King's blood. After getting her left hand back, she didn't intend to waste time. Although the purpose was to catch the brave, it was good to be able to recover some strength. She was always on her way forward.
Not long after, the middle-aged uncle and a silver-haired old woman also took fishing rods, sat nearby, and started fishing.
Mo He didn't communicate with them. It was their choice for these two people to follow them again. As for how they discussed it and what kind of complex changes Duo Luo experienced in his heart, these were not important to Mo He. She just made sure that these two people had planned to trade with her.
Now she was the "needed" party. Naturally, she could control her attitude.
Duo Luo and Li Si Duo Wei didn't say anything either, and they fished here by themselves.
After a long while...
"Do you think you are good at fishing?"
Moher couldn't help asking. She saw Doro's bucket that was almost full, with the fish crowded together and jumping from time to time: "You used some special means to fish, right?"
"Fishing is a skill, Miss Moher." Doro said calmly, "I have observed since I came to this town. The fish here are a species called temporal fish. They prefer corn rather than earthworms as bait. At the same time, they are active in deeper broken water layers, so the hook should be weighted, and your hook is not that deep. And you should ripple slightly to make the fish think it is a living creature... Miss Moher obviously took our situation into consideration when she was calculating us, so why didn't she consider the situation of the fish when fishing?"
Moher gave him a displeased look and put away his fishing rod: "I'm not fishing anymore."
Doro and Lisiduo glanced at each other and also put away their fishing rods. They carried a bucket of fish and quickly came behind Moher.
"Ms. Moher, we have caught too many fish. If you don't mind, I think we can enjoy them together. I heard that you bought a manor..."
Moher stopped and looked at the two people meaningfully.
Duo Luo had a smile on his face.
After a moment, Moher smiled and said, "Okay, come to my manor to deal with these things. I have enough space there. Please allow me to treat you to a meal as a reward."
The manor that Moher bought was actually the former logging site in the town. Because the nearby trees were cut down, the logging site was also moved. The land had been planned to be sold for several years. Fortunately, Moher came to buy the land at this time. Now she plans to grow grapes here.
Just like what she said to Duo Luo, build a winery.
The manor is now halfway built, and Moher also invited the people who built the manor, but they said they already had a place to eat, so they expressed their refusal.
At noon, she took out the things in the manor and began to prepare to cook the fish caught by Duo Luo on the cleared open space.
Moher has lived on her own for many years, so her cooking skills are not bad - this statement is not accurate. It should be said that the cooking skills of this demon king are quite exquisite. During the demon king period, her life was not as exquisite as that of the demons. This is a symbol of her nobility. Even if she became a lonely girl, she would not say that she would lower her living standards too much, just like her own home is also very tidy. Her cooking skills are not bad.
The previous "demon king meal" was not a dish that could show the craftsmanship. After all, that thing is a pot of hodgepodge, so it can't be too unpalatable.
And Duo Luo has "barbecue expertise". After all, during the adventure, their group of people often ate all kinds of meat to grill, so Moher left the job of grilling fish to Duo Luo, and prepared fish soup and steamed fish.
As for the bloody queen? Lisi Duowei is the one who has been living a noble life in a serious manner. Whether she was under the demon king or after she surrendered to humans - she has never prepared food by herself, but generally speaking, vampires don't need to eat, after all, they all suck blood.
The two were doing their own things, leaving Lisiduowei standing there awkwardly. Whether it was Duoluo or the Demon King, both of them were much more noble than her, but they were preparing meals while she was waiting here... Just thinking about it was enough to make Lisiduowei feel uneasy. She wanted to help, but she really didn't understand.
Her and Duoluo's affairs - they also saw the newspaper and knew what the current situation was. No one knew whether they would be discovered or caught - if they could solve the problem of life, they could hide in the mountains and forests with Duoluo... or as the Demon King said, she and Duoluo would get married, maybe...
"Duoluo, why don't you go and trim your beard?" Mo He said as he prepared, "The untidy beard doesn't look good."
Duoluo turned the wooden stick with the fish in his hand and touched his chin with his other hand: "It's not necessary... This will have the effect of covering my appearance, and no one will associate me with my past self."
Seeing that he didn't plan to trim his beard, Mo He didn't say much. She respected the strong. He has the freedom to choose his own appearance. In fact, Lisiduowei can be regarded as a usable force - but Mohe does not trust Lisiduowei. She has betrayed him once, so Mohe assumes that Lisiduowei will betray him again. So, solve her life problem and let her be loyal to him?
This plan that only benefits Lisiduowei is not interesting to her. At this stage, she has no way to effectively control Lisiduowei.
Soon, a sumptuous fish feast was opened in this unfinished manor.
Duo Luo praised Mohe's craftsmanship.
"It would be great if there was wine."
"I plan to turn this place into a winery," said Moh. "The wine from Baixi Town seems to be quite famous in the surrounding area. I plan to unify those winemakers, give them some compensation, and see if I can become the spokesperson for Baixi Town's wine. It would be better if everyone came to work for me directly."
This surprised Duo Luo: "Are you really planning to open a winery and do business?"
"What else? Do you think I'm kidding?" Moh said frankly, "It will take a long time to recover my strength, and I need a legitimate career to cover it up. You find it incredible, and so do others. Before my strength is restored, I'm just an ordinary manor owner."
Duo Luo probably understood Mohe's intention. He knew that Mohe was asking for a price, but he didn't have much room for bargaining: "I can help you get your right hand back."
Mohe stopped eating. She didn't even raise her head. Instead, she slowly drank a sip of fish soup, and then finally said: "Have you thought it through? My brave man, if you say that I took back my left hand before, you can say that you were deceived, used, and defrauded by me. When facing some people, you can still argue with confidence. Even if they don't believe it, you can be considered to be upright. But if you do something like this, you are seriously helping the Demon King to resurrect and pushing this world into the abyss ruled by the Demon King."
Her words were unexpected.
At least, Duo Luo initially thought that she would let him help her get her legs back, but she did not bargain, but asked herself "Have you thought it through before doing this?"
She was right. The previous things were completely within the calculations of the Demon King. If she really accepted the deal with Mo He, then she would really become a person who pushed humanity into the abyss for her own benefit, and she would really become a traitor to humanity. Is
this the Demon King's provocation? Duo Luo was not sure. He felt that he should have thought it through, but when he met Mo He's eyes, he couldn't say it.
He couldn't help but think of the time when he fought the Demon King. At that time, the Demon King's eyes were different from now.
At that time, the Demon King's left eye had a golden magic circle that could see through reality and illusion, and his right eye had a silver magic circle that could transcend time and space.
Although the eyes were different, her eyes were the same.
The eyes that seemed to look directly into people's hearts were the same.
He saw the sneer on Moher's face, and she said, "Eat fish."
Duo Luo felt a sense of powerlessness rising from his heart. He once again deeply realized that he was no longer the person he used to be. He could not say as firmly as in the past, "Devil, your rule ends here." He also could not firmly tell Lisi Duowei, "I will not let you die."
He is no longer young, and the high spirits of the past have long become a thing of the past. Betrayal and pain have made him numb and cowardly.
Although he still has some power, he - no longer has the sharpness to draw his sword.
Even if he has reached a deal with the devil to help Moher get his right hand back... can he still do it?
Can he defeat his former partner, the saint "Shadi", who is guarding the right hand that symbolizes the curse?
The right hand and left hand of the devil are probably equal to the devil himself, but for humans, the degree of harm is completely two levels. If the left hand of the devil symbolizes eternity, if it is not taken care of and is worn out in the magma, new life will be born from the left hand, allowing the devil to revive in another form. Then the right hand is a destructive weapon.
The right hand symbolizing the curse.
Just by placing it there, different curses will automatically spread outward, polluting a vast area and forming a restricted area for life.
Therefore, this right hand is personally guarded by the saint, and she constantly applies the power of purification to the right hand to keep the hand stable. To ensure that the curse will not spread out.
Only she can do such a thing.
If you want to help Moher get his right hand back, it means to be an enemy of Xia Di.
Now he...
Duo Luo's silence made Li Siduo, who was eating grilled fish, become cautious. She didn't want to coerce Duo Luo. She also knew that Duo Luo could ignore her. It's better to say that for Duo Luo now, no one cares about her is the best way to deal with it, just like in the past few years, he traveled casually, and he didn't even know where he would appear, living a life of drunkenness, cheating on food and drink, and wasting time.
Maybe that state is the most suitable for Duo Luo now.
He doesn't need to sit here and negotiate with Moher, and he doesn't need to think too much about her.
He also doesn't need to betray humanity for himself. Lisiduowei knew clearly that she did not have such a high status in Duoluo. He was just kind, so he could not let her go. The so-called "favor" had already been repaid.
Duoluo's performance was not beyond Moher's expectations. This man would not easily betray humans. She knew that the time was not right. Humans had given up on this hero, but this hero had not really given up on humans. This was not good news for Moher. After all, although he said that he would not care about her resurrection, if he did not give up on humans... maybe he would stand in front of her again and block his progress.
Moher did not want to coerce this hero now, and then one day he would suddenly "awaken". Repent and find that "I still love humans after all". Then he turned back and stabbed himself with a sword.
She did not want such a thing to happen, so what she had to do was to let the hero make a thorough decision and give up humans completely, instead of coming to her with a half-hearted determination to trade with her like now, which was not what she wanted.
Therefore, she would "persuade him with kind words". We need to let this brave man "think it through" and choose her sincerely.
She didn't like to use her wisdom in the past, and didn't want to think about various problems.
That was because she was strong in the past, but now the situation is different. When she was weak, wisdom was the reliance for survival. Fortunately, although she died once, she left behind enough legacy. Putting aside her own body, knowledge is also a kind of power. Combined with wisdom, it can often have unexpected effects.
Play slowly.
The brave and Lisiduowei must become their own strength.
The smile on her face gradually became stronger: "Well, do you have anything to do in the afternoon? I plan to buy some things. There are still many things missing in the manor. If you have nothing to do, accompany me to take a look. I'll refer to it and take a look at your taste."
Mohe's plain performance made the thoughts in the hearts of the two more complicated. This girl is always unhurried... The psychological pressure she brings to people is not ordinary.
"Then I'll go get ready and change my clothes. Don't worry, eat slowly."
Mohe stood up and left the two of them alone.
She will not show up until they have a deal.
