Chapter 67- I want to understand (2/2)

“Magic… History… let’s read about some history.”

It was rarely seen, but Lin Xiao retrieved several of his once loathed history books from the bookshelf.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he suddenly noticed that he did not understand Elena and the demon race.

That wasn’t good!

Since he had thoughts of wanting Elena to stay as his maid, even if it was high hopes, he at least had to fully understand Elena.

Before that, the first thing he had to do was to understand the demon race.

Lin Xiao flipped through the old documents and hoped to find more knowledge about the demon race.

What are the demons?

In demon society, according to “blood” and “intelligence”, they can be divided into two categories, namely “demonic beasts” and “high-level demons”.

As the name suggests, the “beast” was emphasized for demonic beasts. They were similar to ordinary beasts. They live in the jungle and in the mountains. Their living habits and lifestyles were exactly the same as wild animals, natural and primitive.

According to their strength, humans assigned ranks to known demonic beasts. From one to nine, the higher the level, the stronger they were, but unfortunately, no matter how powerful they were, they were still “demonic beasts”, they had no wisdom, no intelligence. They are destined to be a “beast” from birth, and they can never become a “high-level demon”.

Although demonic beasts were savage by nature, fond of fighting and killing, but because they had no intelligence, they couldn’t assemble together to launch large-scale attacks on human villages and towns, they have also never thought about destroying the world or annihilating humans. They were like a part of nature. Born from the heavens and the earth, reproducing, flourishing, and dying. As long as there were no troublesome humans constantly intruding into their place of residence, they didn’t bother with the humans.

Because of this, “demonic beasts” were not the real enemy of humanity. What humans really hate are the “high-level demons”.

Blood, origin, race, these determined the status and strength of a “high-level demon”. They have considerable wisdom and are comparable to humans, they even have a grasp of “language”, “mathematics”, “law” and other things that signified intelligence and civilization, like the demonic beasts they also possess terrifying strength and strange abilities. Even some of the “nobility” of the “high-level demons” can shed their demonic beast-like form and become a human!

For example, red-eyes black cats, their true form was a huge pitch-black cat with red eyes. Their destructive power was amazing, their magic resistance was also very high, and they can also transform into humans, but some features, such as their cat ears and tail were still preserved and they could not completely transform into human form.

Of course, Elena was a special case. Her human form was perfect, even more beautiful than a human, it was preposterous…

But this was not the most powerful ability of the “high-level demons. What really made humans fear them was their innate talent to control demonic beasts –

The high-level demons have the ability to command and control “demonic beasts”. This ability was dubbed as “Monarch’s Aura” by Lin Xiao. This kind of power had a very strong restraining effect on ordinary demonic beasts, and was much better than a human army!

The high-level demons did not need to learn the skills of a commander and do not need to maintain the morale of the soldiers. Their “Monarch’s Aura” was the best commanding tool. Dozens of high-level demons, each using “Monarch’s Aura” to command a dozen demonic beasts, together that’s an army formed with hundreds of demonic beasts! This power was really frightening.

The human soldiers have family members and friends. Many came to the battlefield in order to get a salary, but what about the demons army? Under the command of the high-level demons, the powerful demonic beasts were not afraid of death and bravely pushed forward. As long as there were high-level demons in the back, they will continue to sacrifice themselves as cannon fodder. As long as they could still breath, they will continue to fight!

An army of demonic beasts commanded by the high-level demons, this was why the demon race was so frightening!

The enemy that the Holy Light Church really hated was not ordinary demonic beasts, but these “high-level demons”!

Since high-level demons were mentioned, you have to mention a certain person, the leader of the demon race, the supreme king, the boss of the red-eyes black cats, the 89th king of the demons, Elena Santemirion!

Like Lin Xiao, Elena also took several ancient books and was sitting in front of Lin Xiao reading. That beautiful face, peaceful expression, elegant posture, he couldn’t help but look, and never seemed to get tired.

“Who would have thought, the king of all the demons, has now become my maid?” Lin Xiao whispered to himself.

There were hundreds of years of indiscriminate hatred between humans and demons. The Holy Light Church’s highest doctrine was of destroying the demon race. Lin Xiao was a transmigrator. He has no hatred for the demon race. If it was up to him, he would much rather live in peace with the demon race.

Of course, in addition to this, he had a deeper reason. It was this reason that allowed Lin Xiao to completely let go of the hostility against the demon race.

The demon race was an evil existence, the enemy of mankind, a filthy scum that must be eradicated, as told by the people of the Holy Light Church, but why?

No one ever thought about it, and no one knew, what would Eileen become if the demons really disappeared one day.

Lin Xiao doesn’t know the answer, but he knows that it was because of the existence of the demons that Eileen obtained the hero to contend with the Demon King, the hope of confronting the darkness, the Holy Light Church, the opposite of courage, the Four Kingdoms.

Lin Xiao feels that if the things in this world were only distinguished using, black and white, good and bad, although straightforward, but it was biased.

Were the demons really the enemies of mankind?

Not necessarily.
