Chapter 72: Mo La’s defense was broken.
When Jim finished speaking, Mo La’s expression went through a series of changes, because she really didn’t understand why some people would be so shameless.
He obviously has the identity he longs for most, so he doesn't have to worry about being discovered by others when he makes friends with his true identity, and he doesn't have that sense of alienation from the bottom of his heart.
Such a person said a series of words that she couldn't understand in front of her. Did he really know who he was dealing with?
And you say Ramos is a god? Is he worthy? A demon king who only cares about his own inner desires and doesn't care about the life and death of his companions. Why should he become the omnipotent god this person calls him?
As if he heard these words in her heart, Jim, standing opposite Moura, spoke again, and this time his tone was even more mean and sarcastic.
"You may be scolding me in your heart, saying that I am shameless enough to clear the devil's name and applaud the man who almost destroyed mankind a hundred years ago, right?" "
..."
Mo La didn't speak, but there was a cold look in her eyes. Yi has exposed her thoughts.
"But I want to tell you, even if there is no demon king, human beings will not be much better.
Even if there was no invasion of demons more than a hundred years ago, the human empire at that time fell into pieces, and the entire land belonged to human forces. , there are more than 10 countries, large and small, that are ambitious and want to annex other territories.
At that time, thanks to the appearance of the Demon King, mankind had a common enemy. It was he who made mankind, who had been fighting among themselves for decades, briefly choose Unity."
"United as one, is there any problem with that?"
"Of course there is no problem, but the question is, is their unity, is it unity from the heart?"
Jim smiled reluctantly, because when he was young, it was not the case. As it is now, it looks very distorted in the eyes of many upright people.
He has experienced a lot, and those experiences prompted him to look up a lot of dusty history and learn about the past that many people don't want to mention.
"You should know how much humans in the past hated those races that were immortal species, right?" "
..." Mo La was speechless, because she knew what Jim said was the truth.
"Faced with the crisis of destruction, humans chose to turn to the elves and dwarves to forge magical weapons that they could not possess, and to receive various blessings so that they could avoid all catastrophes in the future doomsday war."
" So is this wrong?"
"Of course it is, but do you think the current royal family will admit this? Who among the common people will remember these races that have helped mankind? The emotions of jealousy and hatred for these races are still among people. It spreads from person to person, and humans are such a proud race."
Jim's eyes when he looked at Mo La didn't even have much hostility at the moment, but a trace of sympathy.
He felt that the little girl in front of him was so innocent that he couldn't bear to continue talking. But it's a pity... He has to continue talking, because he needs to complete this mission and show his value.
"In the end, the demons retreated and humans won. But taking this opportunity, many small countries completely disappeared on the battlefield. In
the end, only two huge countries, the Xilin Empire and the Chester Empire, were left. You should understand what this means, right?"
"..."
Mo La was silent. She now understood why the Demon King would let such a person who was not very strong, and who did not even bother to fight with all his strength, to come into contact with him.
But what must not be said is that Demon King Ramos has indeed changed a lot over the years.
This change was not only from his name changing from Ramos to Sirius, but also from his identity changing from a demon feared by everyone to a prince respected by everyone.
The man was thinking and observing. Unlike coming to human territory and staying in the church to isolate himself every day, Sirius had to do more.
At the same time, the opponent may not care at all from the beginning whether he will kill this chattering human traitor on the spot.
But when she thought about it, Mo La felt that all this was a great irony. When she had lost everything because of this, someone came up to her and said that the once arrogant Demon King had changed. It was difficult for her to believe this. Is it a real change, or another deception targeting "one's own people"?
Isn't she just a wanderer who changed her identity in lies and spent more than a hundred years in Anka?
"Have you finished speaking?"
"What?"
"Nothing." Mo La shook her head, with a smile on her face, "I just think what you said is very ridiculous.
Of course, I admit that among humans, There must be a lot of scum, I never deny this. But I still mean that, this does not justify the invasion and destruction of other tribes, do you understand?"
Before Jim could say the next sentence, Mo La continued her own words. :
"No, you definitely don't understand. In fact, you don't care about this at all. You want to join the demon clan, isn't it just to gain the power of the demon clan?
I can feel the magic power in your body, and your identity should be considered A high-level magician with great status in other cities, right? But obviously, compared to humans' crude understanding of magic, you are more thirsty for the seemingly endless terrifying power of the demons." "..."
Jim
Wu Yan, his appearance at this moment seemed a little funny in Mo La's eyes.
"It seems I was right." Mo La raised a smile at the corner of her mouth. At this moment, she looked at Jim with a hint of contempt in her eyes, "It seems that you are not as noble as you said. You keep saying that you can't stand it. Human, but what have you done?"
The two of them have actually been in this alley for a long time, because the conversation has been very intense, and Jim, who was paying attention to Mo La, did not realize that they were like this from beginning to end. The heated argument didn't even attract anyone else to come and watch.
But in fact, his ability was not enough to detect the cognitive interference magic circle set up by Mo La at the entrance of the alley.
In fact, their conversation could not be spread, because from Mo La's point of view, she actually did not want to expose this side of her image.
"Perhaps like you said, I only sided with the demons for what I personally want. But I don't think this means anything. Let me
ask you this, do you think humans and demons... ...What's the difference between them?"
After pondering for a long time, Jim asked such a question.
"Difference?"
The answer to this question was clearly in Mo La's mind. She wanted to blurt out one, two, three, four, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that those answers could easily be overturned by the other party.
In fact, she had never thought about such a problem that had nothing to do with solving the current problem. In addition, she was not as good as Jim in experience and conversation skills, so she fell into the other party's sophistry trap without realizing it. She racked her brains and tried her best to find ways to refute the opponent verbally, but in fact, Mo La should have realized earlier that it was actually impossible to reach consensus in this debate from the beginning.
It is difficult for people who have no conflicts with each other to agree with each other on everything and respect each other's opinions. How much more so when we are on opposite sides of the enemy?
"Do you think that human desires and destructive desires are not as great as those of demons? Of course, I understand that you have been in a relatively friendly church environment since you were born, and you have always been well protected by those adults.
You She is a saint, an existence they want to protect. This kind of protection is not only to protect your safety, but also to prevent you from coming into contact with the evil side of people." "What are
you talking about..."
"No need to deny it, because I know you have never experienced the things I have experienced."
Jim's face was very strange, as if he thought his behavior of recalling his unbearable past was a bit ridiculous, "I came from a bad background. When I was a child, I had no money, so I could only steal and rob.
In order to change my own environment, I had the courage to break into the imperial library provided for ordinary nobles in the middle of the night, stole many magic books, and then found the foundation of my life. The most trustworthy and reliable thing in life.
I worked hard to overcome all the difficulties I encountered along the way. I even abandoned my dignity and lived like a dog..."
Jim became more and more excited as he spoke, and at the same time he looked at the man in front of him who seemed to understand nothing. There was a mixture of envy and pity in Mo La's eyes.
"You think what you see is everything, but you never thought that it is just what you see, just what those people want you to see.
What is the difference between humans and demons... I I feel that there is no essential difference between them.
Invasion and destruction? Haven't humans done those things? If you haven't seen it, can you just treat it as if it doesn't exist? At
this moment, you make me feel pitiful, and I even feel sorry for you. I don't want to attack a hothouse flower like you and defeat a 'saint' like you who has been protected by the bishop until she grew up and has never experienced the hardships at the bottom, because this kind of thing makes me feel meaningless.
But I am also very grateful to Xi After all, this opportunity given to me by Lord Reese allowed me to see the fragility of Anka. I
saw how naive humans can be when they are comfortable for a long time."
"You! Do you know who you are talking to?!"
Mo La was so angry that she was shaking all over. Not only did she feel that she had been insulted, but also because she realized that she could not speak to this man at all.
He must be watching from the side, watching himself make a joke, watching himself being taught a lesson by a human traitor.
But she couldn't take action, because if she killed Jim in front of her now, it would mean that she had officially launched a challenge to the Demon Lord Sirius.
Right now...she's not ready for that.
While Mo La tried to calm down her mood, she used detection magic to search if anyone around her was secretly watching the conversation.
However, she desperately found that no matter how she probed, she could not sense any breath of the devil.
If the other party didn't care about this confrontation at all, they wouldn't bother to get involved from beginning to end. That is the insurmountable gap between his own strength and Sirius...
"To be honest, I think there is no need to continue this conversation."
Looking at the despair on Mo La's face, Jim felt happy, and he Naturally, taking it as his own verbal attack played a huge role. This directly caused the worldview of the girl in front of her to begin to collapse.
"I hope you can understand clearly that some things are about to happen. You can't change anything or prevent anything with your ability.
If you insist on going against us, then I will not think about the differences between my compatriots at that time. Falling in love."
"...What? Did you say something was going to happen? What on earth is he planning to do!"
Mo La became anxious immediately, and her original thoughts were now focused on the conversation with Jim again.
She began to feel anxious and nervous because she knew that this man definitely had no need to deceive her. The resurrection of the Demon King itself means a lot, and appearing in front of him at this time means that many things are about to happen.
He is giving himself a choice.
"What's going on... you'll know when the time comes."
Jim smiled mysteriously. Although he himself didn't know what was going to happen, Sirius had just told him a few days ago that he would watch Alice and tell her not to To disturb the progress of the plan must mean that something big is about to happen.
"Are you going to tell me?!" Mo La was too anxious to care about anything else, "If you don't tell me, I will kill you now." "
Oh? As a saint of the church, would you actually kill a human being?"
"You...are no longer on the side of humanity." Mo La looked a little confused, but she didn't want to admit her inconsistent logic.
"I haven't done anything harmful to humanity yet. Everything we do must have evidence, right?
If it's just because I told you some truths that you don't like to hear, you want to use the Saint If the ability kills me, then I feel that the church is nothing more than that~"
Looking at Mo La, who was gradually becoming depressed and not as aggressive as before, Jim showed a winner's smile.
He turned around and left, but before reaching the exit of the alley, he did not forget to leave one last sentence to make Mo La even more vulnerable.
"Cherish the present. This world will usher in a new change starting from Anka. In the future, you...may not be able to continue to be a carefree caged bird."
Jim left like this. From the moment the other party walked out of the alley until Mo La felt that the weather was indeed a bit cold tonight, she didn't say a word.
There is no retention, and there is no soliloquy to comfort oneself.
But she thought of one person, Bishop Calvin, who was like a loving father.
Although the other party is not even as old as herself, Mo La knows that she is indeed just a child in front of the opposite party, and based on the lifespan of a human and the lifespan of a demon, she is also an underage girl among the demons.
Jim may indeed be right in saying that she has been protected so well for so many years.
She hasn't felt a sense of crisis for too long. With her long life and magical abilities far beyond the human level, she doesn't need to take many things particularly seriously.
But now it's different, she needs to stand up and fight back.
