Chapter 221 If I were to do it again (Part 2)
"Why did you stay in this village?"
"I've been to many places, and then I felt a little tired, so I stayed here for a while until I wanted to leave next time." Doro answered Adriana's question.
Adriana was silent for a while, and then she asked again: "What if you don't want to leave?"
"Then settle down here. The people here are all very nice and gentle, and the environment is very peaceful. I like it here." It was still Doro who answered such a question. When answering, he and Xia Di smiled at each other.
Obviously, the two had already thought about the future. As saints and heroes... they hoped to live such a life.
Adriana read such a will from them.
"As long as you exist, your power still exists. As long as someone knows of your existence, you will definitely attract certain things, and finally bring about imbalance. Power is something like this."
The expressions of the two did not change. Xia Di smiled and said, "So, Adriana, I need to ask you for a favor here. Can you bring back the news that we are disappointed with? Let the world know clearly that the hero was indeed seriously injured and died in the battle with the Demon King, and the former saint Xia Di chose to follow the hero. They both returned to the arms of the goddess... Can you tell everyone about this?"
The smile on her face was very reassuring: "If it is said by the serious Adriana, and Adriana who is very famous among the nobles, then everyone should believe it, right?"
"I...how could I help you tell such a lie!"
Xia Di clasped her hands together and pretended to pray: "My respected goddess Adriana, I beg you, please~"
Doro also imitated Xia Di: "I beg you too, Adriana, as a close friend, you can definitely do what you say."
You two!
Adriana couldn't look the two men in the eye. There were so many things she wanted to say in her mind, but in the end, when it came to her lips, all she had left was one sentence: "I can only try - whether others believe it or not is not my problem."
"Great! Adriana, I knew you were the most gentle and kind!" Xia Di showed a happy smile on her face. She picked up a piece of meat, "Come on, Adriana, eat more. My cooking skills are okay, right?"
"...Much better than before."
Xia Di laughed twice: "Godora and I have practiced our cooking skills well during the journey. Whenever we arrive at a place, we will visit the best local chefs, and then humbly ask each other for advice on cooking skills. Maybe we will open a restaurant or hotel there in the future. It's also a good choice. Everyone is welcome to come and eat then~"
"You all told me to tell everyone that you are dead..." Adriana was helpless with these two people. She had no way to deal with Godora. Before, Xia Di always stood on her side, but now Xia Di has completely turned to Godora.
This was simply unimaginable in the past. In the past, Shatti treated Godora very harshly. At that time, was she trying to make Godora defeat the Demon King? After completing this goal, she finally revealed her true intentions?
Adriana finally left. She felt that she needed some time to sort out her feelings. She should have dealt with Godora, but how could she do it? If Godora was someone who could be killed whenever he wanted, then the Demon King would not wait until Godora appeared before being killed.
In this world, now, no one can defeat Godora openly and kill Godora. If it was a conspiracy, it might have some effect...
Such news was spread to the whole world through Shatti's mouth.
The church re-selected the saint.
The names of A. Godora and Shatti gradually disappeared from the world's vision.
Ten years later, in a small town.
"You said that the girl in the tavern is the Demon King?!" Shatti showed a surprised expression.
A. Godola nodded: "Yes, didn't I suddenly decide to come to this town when I walked to the last city? I just had some feelings at that time, but after arriving in this town, I had already confirmed my answer. Didn't I take you for a couple of drinks yesterday? At that time, I already knew clearly that it was the devil himself, but she pretended to be very similar."
"Do you want to kill her?" Xia Di asked.
Dora shook his head: "There's no need. She's very weak now, and I can't even sense a little bit of the power of the Demon King from her body. All her symbols are sealed... Even if she is resurrected, I can defeat her again, not to mention her now. However, we can monitor her here."
"Then live in this town?"
Dora nodded: "Well, let's live in this town. Wait until the Demon King dies again, and then we will move and see where she will be reincarnated."
Xia Di covered her mouth and laughed: "You are behaving like a stalker. Is my husband such a pervert?"
"...This is also for world peace! I don't want this hard-earned peace to disappear because of the resurrection of the Demon King, but if you want me to kill this reincarnated Demon King... I don't think I can do it. To be fair, she is just a little girl now."
"However, Dora, the world may not be peaceful for long."
Xia Di suddenly said: "Even if the Demon King is being monitored by us, you should have noticed it."
"The struggle between the major organizations, kingdoms, and races is about to begin again." Xia Di expressed his feelings, "The peace you won may not last long. The major forces have completely digested the Demon King's legacy and are looking for other prey like hungry wolves. Peace is always short-lived."
Duo Luo sighed, "That's true, Xia Di, after all these years, I have also realized this problem. Sometimes I wonder, if the two of us didn't leave at that time, but actively promoted world peace, what would it be like? Can we maintain peace for a long time?"
"I think you might become another existence like the Demon King." Xia Di gave the answer, "Even if you don't want to rule as cruelly as the Demon King, if you rely on your own strength to maintain peace, then it is no different from cruel rule and dictatorship, just like a red skirt and a green skirt, they are both skirts in essence. It's just the color on the outside that is different."
"Will they join the war?"
"I think... yes."
Duo Luo fell silent again. He had gotten used to using this name over the years.
After thinking for a while, he finally said, "So, we don't have to do anything, right?"
"Yes, we don't have to do anything. We just need to live our lives well. The meaning of our birth is to defeat the Demon King. We just need to keep an eye on the Demon King."
Xia Di stroked her belly, "We are not great people, Duo Luo."
The two settled down in this small town, and then bought a house and opened a hotel. In fact, the business was not very good. There were few people staying here from outside. Most people still regarded it as a hotel. However, there were also young men and women who came here to rent a room to avoid being known by their families.
The girl named Moher grew up in this town. She became a clerk in the hotel. Although she was very popular with young people in the town, she did not accept anyone's kindness. Of course, there were rumors that Moher became the mistress of the hotel owner... This kind of thing could not be verified.
Doro and Xia Di had three children in total, a son and two daughters.
These three children were not particularly talented, or they had talents, but they had no room to play. They grew up in this small town since childhood. The farthest place they had been was only a nearby city. They knew only elementary magic and the most basic fighting skills. They did not walk out of the village like their father and embarked on the path of practice, but each found a job in the town.
Everyone is getting old.
Xia Di, Doro, and Moher.
As time flows, time leaves its mark on them.
"I say... you have been watching me for thirty years, but you are still worried about me?" Moher sighed, "If you plan to continue watching me, shouldn't you take a step forward? Mr. Duo Luo, if you continue like this, you will not enter this realm, you will grow old and die, and I will grow old and die too, but my soul is immortal, and when I reincarnate again, no one can stop me."
Duo Luo just hugged Xia Di, and although he was old, he still looked very affectionate: "This doesn't affect anything, Moher. After Xia Di and I die, you can become a demon king again or do whatever you want, it's all your freedom. We have completed our mission - I also realized that whether you exist or not, in fact... the world doesn't make much difference."
In the past time, good things and bad things have happened, and I have heard pleasant news and sad news.
For example, the members of the brave team once fought a war, for example, humans and elves and dwarves went to war, for example, the struggles within the races - all kinds of things, it seems that after the death of the demon king, the wars between the major races have become more intense. There is no strongest, so there are countless people competing for the strongest.
Peace seems to have never come.
The place where Moher reincarnated is better, and it seems that it has not been invaded by war, but there are strict taxes in some years. I
have also met all kinds of good people and all kinds of bad people.
"My life is satisfied, demon king." Duo Luo patted Xia Di's shoulder, "As a human being, I have lived the life that humans should have. I don't have any goals anymore. Even if I continue to live, it is not a good thing for me. Having unlimited life may just be a curse for humans."
At this point, his somewhat old face laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm really, how can I talk about curses in front of the source of curses... People say that people become more like children as they get older. At this age, they actually start to be arrogant. This is not a good thing."
Moher looked at Duo Luo. She had seen many such people. In the time from ancient times to the present, she had seen many old men like Duo Luo in different races. Duo Luo would not be the first one she had seen, nor would he be the last one she had seen.
But why?
Obviously, this man named Duo Luo should be different.
He had clearly defeated himself. Obviously, as long as he had the will and took that step, he could obtain eternal life. Not only him, but he could also help Xia Di next to him. Not to mention eternity, pseudo-eternity like vampires would also be fine. Why didn't he do that?
As long as he wanted, he could get something by reaching out. Why not grab it? Why did he say he was satisfied?
She didn't understand.
"In such a long time, only you have truly defeated me. Even the goddess has never done it, but you have done it. You are stronger than anyone else, surpassing all life from ancient times to the present - but why did you make such a choice?"
"This is human, Demon King."
Another thirty years.
Duo Luo's life came to an end.
He seemed to have a shorter life than Xia Di.
"Doro... you can still make a choice... even at this last moment, as long as you don't want to die, you can..." Moher also looked extremely old, but at this moment, time seemed to be reversed on her body.
She was recovering her prime, and she was triggering the resonance between Doro and her body.
She wanted to take Doro into that realm.
Doro's old and withered hand pressed in the void, and all the changes stopped.
"Moher, you don't have to do this."
Moher, who had returned to his youthful state, had tears in his eyes: "Why! Why don't you want to! Shouldn't you humans pursue eternal life?! For a drop of life dew, you fight and bleed, and hundreds of thousands of people die... Eternity is right in front of you, but you don't grab it?! Yulia is dead! I am the only real living being in this world! Why don't you step into this realm? Do you want me to exist alone in this world?!"
The devil had never lost his composure like this when he was killed.
Perhaps, because she is now using the body of a human girl, she is more emotional?
Doro just smiled.
As he smiled like this, the spirit in his eyes gradually disappeared.
Xia Di always stood beside Duo Luo.
She looked at the "Moher" in front of her.
"Is this Moher's emotion, or your emotion, Yulia?"
She knew that this dream had come to an end.
