In the morning, the Ke Rabbit Tribe began a new day. At this time, the ice and snow were beginning to melt. Hala led the team to clear the snow and busied themselves in the town. As usual, she combed her hair neatly and wore a black uniform.
"Clean up the ice on the walls, check the damage to the houses, and count the number of roofs that are leaking."
"Yes!"
After giving the orders, she turned her head and looked at the highest floor of the office. The window was still lit up. Hala frowned.
"Master and that human stayed for an entire night … I wonder if something happened …"
She was a little uneasy, and her mind began to wander unknowingly.
As expected, Master still liked humans like this?
Suddenly, she shook her head and patted her red cheeks.
"What are you thinking about! Work hard and don't let your thoughts run wild. "
After convincing herself, she began to get busy again.
At this time, in the office, an unusually bright lamp sat on the table. The body of the lamp was a golden dragon. It opened its mouth to the sky and held a burning red bead in its mouth.
Layel, who had not slept for an entire night, had two dark bags under her eyes. She put down the parchment full of words in her hand and looked at the Demon King in front of her. She looked at him suspiciously and said, "I'm very satisfied with these regulations, but these conditions are a little too … generous for me."
The agreement written by both parties would be forcefully signed by both parties, just like how ancient mages and terrifying demons signed a contract. This kind of ancient contract had the power to affect reality. Logically speaking, no matter how powerful the other party was, he should not be able to unilaterally break the contract.
But the problem was that the other party was too easy to talk to. He did not refute any of the proposals that Layel had written, and she had even written some of them to test him.
Furthermore, he only had a few requests, which was to provide information on the various empires and adventurers' guilds to help him open up new markets. Although it seemed like a serious problem, Layel had already thought of these possibilities, which was why she had written down a few restrictive regulations.
If she judged that it was confidential information that could not fall into the hands of the demons, she could refuse to provide it.
So, this was not an equal rule, but from the current situation, the scales should not be tilted towards her.
"How is it? Any other questions?"
The Demon King urged.
Lehr swallowed her saliva. If this contract was effective, she would gain a very powerful ally. Furthermore, she would gain an information network regarding the movements of the Demon Race. This was a very crucial point. Humans and demons would carry out espionage activities with each other, but after the appearance of the shapeshifting monsters, the demons obtained far more information than humans.
This was also one of the reasons why the human forces began to decline.
Therefore, this was a great opportunity. If she succeeded, she might really be able to use this demon to create another miracle for the human race.
Just like Guild Master Amitabha.
Deep in thought, she raised her head again and looked at the Demon King. "Finally, I want to ask you a question."
The Demon King placed his ten fingers on the table. Sitting on the chair, he used his hand to cover the lower half of his face.
"Ask away."
To him, the treaty on paper was indeed disadvantageous, but to an existence who had peeked into the origin of magic, how could he be easily restrained by magic?
"Do you know anything about evil spirits?"
She suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the contract.
"Of course."
The Demon King replied. He had a confident appearance, as if he was an expert in this field.
The matter of evil spirits would inevitably become a great threat to the human race. It was also a big problem that the Guild had to deal with in the near future. If she could obtain some information from this demon, then her future work would probably be much smoother.
"I want to know how they were created, and what method is there to eliminate them all." Lehr asked boldly.
The Demon King sighed softly. "You've already asked two questions. I can only answer one of them."
Hearing this, Lehr's brows trembled slightly. She thought to herself that if she had known earlier, she would have asked a few questions herself …
"First, you have to know about the third layer world."
"The third layer world?"
Lehr was stunned.
"That is a place where there is no matter and is chaotic and disorderly. I can only explain it this way. Of course, some people call it the outer realm, the land of chaos, or the third layer world." The Demon King's expression suddenly became serious. "That is the source of evil spirits. Under normal circumstances, the lower layer world cannot reach the higher layer world. Only the higher layer world can affect the lower layer world. Of course, there are exceptions."
This was a theory that Lehr had never heard of before. If it were not for his astonishing strength, Lehr would definitely think that he was spouting nonsense.
"Then when will such an exception occur?" she asked curiously.
"This has nothing to do with evil spirits, so I won't answer. Evil spirits were summoned. I guess you already know that. "
Was it the Underworld Demon King? Or was it that terrifying Evil God? From the Guild's information and the President's description, the reason for evil spirits' appearance was definitely related to the Underworld Demon King's evil magic.
But this explanation did not make sense. The Underworld Demon King had clearly been eliminated, so why would evil spirits still appear all over the world?
Before she could say anything, the Demon King had already guessed what she was thinking, so he continued, "Unfortunately, the Evil God didn't die in that battle."
Hearing this, before he could finish, Layel interrupted, "How is that possible?! It's obviously been knocked down! "
The Demon King waited for her to finish before continuing, "Your hero did indeed defeat it, and it seemed like it was very easy. But in reality, he did not have enough power to completely eliminate it. He could only watch it slip away. If you don't believe me, you can ask the main body."
Lehr took a deep breath. She was very agitated right now and even wanted to curse out loud, but reason controlled her actions.
In her heart, she also knew that the old man was very old, but no one was willing to face this matter.
"Then, as long as we find the Evil God's main body, we can eliminate all evil spirits?"
She suddenly asked.
The Demon King sighed softly. He held his face and looked at her. "Before this, do you know the story of the Leaf of Life magic?"
Lehr shook her head.
"A long time ago, there was a person with a strange illness. He could not move and could only lie alone in his sickbed every day. The only thing that accompanied him was the tree outside the window. One winter, he had the thought of dying, so he said to the tree, 'When all the leaves on the tree fall, I will also die.' "
"As the leaves fell one by one, that person became more and more haggard. But for some reason, there was always a leaf on that tree that would not fall even in winter. Year after year, day after day, until that person's relatives and family all grew old. Only then did he realize that he had not died of his illness. "
After the Demon King finished telling this story, he opened his right hand and a tree appeared.
"This is the primitive life magic. That person's life has already merged with that tree. Although he cannot live forever, he can live for the tree's age."
While Layle was in disbelief, she suddenly reacted. She felt a chill run down her back and her face turned pale.
"You mean! The Evil God has already merged with the undead?! "
She asked in surprise.
The Demon King nodded.
"I'm afraid you all need to get used to the existence of evil spirits …"
