01.

Hill of course knew about the recall of Monroe by the Church of Light. In fact, it was Paladin Deputy Captain Teresa Shelley who took the initiative to inform the Demon King Hill.

What needs to be clear is that not every paladin is as firm as Monroe. The unfair treatment that other paladins have suffered over the years is naturally known to them, and the goodwill radiated by the demon king of the lower realm. They can also feel that sometimes the demon king who looks too close to the people will even say "Should you join the demon clan" or something. They dare not take it seriously, but they will not take it as a joke.

It is understandable that Paladin Deputy Captain Theresa Shelley would make such a choice one by one push and pull.

The Paladins respect Monroe very much. He is noble in character, powerful, and selfless. He has given himself many times to save others. He and the Paladins in his team really have a strong friendship. They respect him, they support him, and they love him deeply.

When the bishop contacted the deputy captain Teresa Shelley privately, Teresa immediately had an estimate of what would happen to Monroe, so after painful hesitation, he took the initiative to look for Hill. .

If the ordinary demons want to meet the demon lord, the procedure is of course quite cumbersome, but the paladins are obviously exceptions. Most of the demons in the lower realm knew that the demon king was plotting against the Paladins... Hill himself had not concealed it, and of course the Paladins knew about it.

When Irvin reported to Hill that the Paladin Teresa Shelley had asked for a meeting, Hill's first sentence was of course: "Which is he?"

Those Paladin Hill only remembered one Monroe.

"The Paladin's deputy captain, the one with the highest status besides Monroe." Irvine replied.

"Well, let him in, then." Hill said, "I want to see what tricks he plays."

Irvine couldn't help saying something beside him: "Excuse me, my king, it feels like you have said it the opposite."

"Yes." Hill said kindly, "Let him come in and let him see what tricks this king does for him."

Irvine: "..."

Irwin: "No, you deserve to be the Demon Lord, you can actually say such self-deprecating things."

"It's you," said Hill, "I've acted like this, and you can still boast in this situation. It's amazing."

Irvine: "Puff cough cough cough..."

"Well, I'm flirting with me, let Shelley in." Hill said casually. After getting used to the identity of the demon king, he became more and more open-minded, and he uttered wild words...

"My lord, what do you say... ok... I'll tell him." Irvine retired under great pressure.

Teresa Shelley.

Hill remembered the name in his heart.

Speaking of Shelley, when I mentioned this, I remembered the "Ode to the West Wind" by the great poet Shelley on the earth. Winter has come, can spring be far behind? Speaking of which, do you want to publish some poems in the magazine next time? This is fine too, look back and look into it.

02.

No one is willing to be born and subordinate to others.

This sentence is false.

Many people are willing to subdue to others, or live comfortably under others. This sentence does not mean the next face, it has no trivial meaning. A very notable feature of this kind of people is that when the sky falls, tall people are on top of it.

Not everyone has the courage to prop up a piece of sky for themselves. To live in a world propped up by others, of course, you have to pay a lot of price, but this is also a question of value choice.

Teresa Shelley is such a person.

In fact, just looking at the resume, he is even better than Monroe, and his background is particularly good. His father is a Paladin and his mother is a believer. By the way, his father once slaughtered people in a village, and Monroe was born in that village. Both he and Monroe knew about this, but after they learned about it, they never took the initiative to mention it.

Teresa Shelley came out to lead the team earlier than Monroe. After performing several tasks, he reported to his superiors that he was limited in his ability and could not lead the team alone. Later, he was finally transferred to the team where Monroe was. This was the beginning of his acquaintance with Monroe.

When he first joined the team, he was the most qualified one, and even the captain Monroe often asked for his advice. He enjoyed this feeling so much that he began to boast and show off his resume and family background.

…Then Monroe learned about his father.

But Monroe did not say at the time.

During a mission in the tropical rainforest, Teresa Shelley was almost stabbed to the heart by a giant scorpion. Monroe saved him regardless of personal safety. He was moved to the death. After returning to the headquarters, he was lying on a hospital bed to recuperate. Monroe came to see him, they chatted, and then Monroe mentioned his hometown.

Teresa Shelley was familiar with the name of the town, so he went back and asked his father.

Then I learned that everyone in that town was killed by the Paladins that his father had brought. His father was also a little guilty at the time, so he mentioned the town at home, so he left an impression on Teresa Shelley, so he knew Monroe's hometown familiar.

This is a complete closed loop.

So Teresa Shelley told his father that the offspring of that village was his current captain and gave up to save him.

Later, his father went to visit Monroe with a lot of gifts, and asked Monroe if he had any other needs, so he could satisfy him as much as possible—his father's status in the church was still very high.

Monroe said at the time: "I only have one question."

Old Shelley said, "Please tell me." He had actually expected Monroe to ask any questions.

Sure enough, Monroe asked: "Did the people in the village really take the blame?"

Old Shelley was silent for a while, and then replied: "Yes. You can't doubt my lord, young man, my lord is always right." Then he drew the symbol of the **** of light on his chest, and then said: "praise me host."

"Praise my lord." Monroe also drew the symbol of the **** of light on his chest and said.

Old Shelley said so, of course, for Monroe's good. If Monroe had no doubt about this, he continued to believe in the **** of light-maintaining that kind of brainless trust, his abilities would be reused. Old Shelley spent a lifetime in the church system, and naturally knew how to rise up.

After this, Teresa Shelley and Monroe never mentioned anything in the town.

His feelings for Monroe were self-evident, so he couldn't accept the news that the church was about to deal with Monroe.

…Even if you cooperate with the Demon King, you don’t hesitate to do so.

Teresa thought so in his heart.

This was the first time he took the initiative to find the Demon King, and it was also the first time he entered the towering Blackstone Tower.

Everything in the Blackstone Tower was deadly black, only the torches embedded in the corridor released light. The base of the torch was carved into various terrifying shapes, Teresa did not dare to look closely, he heard his footsteps echoing in an empty space.

He knew he was scared.

Can you not be afraid of this? Although there are rebellious thoughts in his mind now, he is a Paladin from a Paladin family. He has been listening to all kinds of demons harming people since he was a child. Now, he actually walked in the palace of the Demon King. Take the initiative to see the devil.

Walking up the spiral stairs, finally reached the door of the Demon King's bedroom. Before Theresa had time to do anything, the heavy door opened automatically. Teresa took a deep breath and walked in.

The first thing that came into his eyes was the devil leaning on the couch.

At this moment, he was not as friendly as he had seen before, and Teresa had also made psychological preparations, but he was still taken aback by the demon lord's temperament and momentum at this moment.

He is dressed in luxurious fur, the candlelight is swaying, and the fur is covered with dim light. When he raises his hand, the light and shadow flow, which can make people directly fascinated. His long white hair is draped casually, his forehead has dark red horns, and his eyes are lighter red. He was originally looking down and flipping through a roll of parchment. When Teresa came in, he raised his eyes. It happened that the wind was blowing outside, the lights on the candlesticks were swaying, and the room was bright and dark.

He met the devil's red eyes.

Teresa's expression was in a daze for a few seconds.

Is this, the bewitching of the devil?

"What's the matter, let's talk about it," the Demon King said.

Teresa Shelley quickly stabilized his mind and began to talk.

03.

When the wind stopped, Teresa had finished saying what he wanted to say, and he looked at the demon lord with some anxiety.

"I know." Hill said, "Of course I can stop it, but you also know that even I can't disobey the church too much. And it depends mainly on your knight commander's own meaning."

Teresa Shelley was startled, "This way..." Of course he understood what Hill said.

"I suggest you give your thoughts directly to the knight commander and let him make his own decision." Hill said.

"Good," Teresa said. Maybe the devil was right, he thought.

After coming out of the Blackrock Tower, he returned to the paladin’s quarters. Then he told Monroe all his thoughts according to the proposal of the demon king. Monroe just said lightly. There was no wave in his sea-blue eyes: "I see. ."

But the surrounding Paladins all showed different expressions, some were nervous, some were angry...In short, they were all very worried about Monroe.

"Since the bishop is giving you an order, then leave tomorrow and tie me back." Monroe continued.

"How can this be!" Teresa said silently: "Captain! Do you know what will happen to you?"

"Maybe." Monroe was quite calm in the face of the excited Teresa. "After all, I have been in the church for many years."

Monroe's performance made Teresa more emotional, he said directly: "I'm going to find the Demon King." He turned around again and hurried away.

The Paladins looked at each other. Although they all wanted to ask the Demon King for help, they didn’t expect that their deputy captain would say so directly in public... Everyone is not a fool. After staying in the lower realm for so long, it is natural to see the demon clan. It's not the same as the wicked and wicked people the church said.

However, it is true that many people in the Dark Vatican are bad people in the traditional sense.

Teresa ran back directly to find Hill, and Hill deliberately showed a rather surprised expression after hearing the news that Monroe was planning to return to church, then he got up from the couch and said, "I'll persuade you. Him."

Teresa was immediately grateful.

Hill went to see Monroe alone. He didn't expect that Monroe's first words after seeing him were: "You want the Paladin to appear in that movie. You also expected it to be today."

Hill couldn't help but touched his nose and answered honestly: "Yes."

Monroe frowned slightly, but said nothing more.

Compared to the glorious image of the Paladin at the beginning, he now feels more like a handsome statue to Hill.

At the same time, Hill also felt that Monroe was more composed than at the beginning. He looked at Monroe's silent face like a marble slab and said, "You know I'm uneasy since then."

"En." Monroe did not deny either.

In the beginning, Hill asked the Paladin to act in the movie, which in itself was uneasy and kind. Although the movie did not attract the attention of the church too much, the church knew that the movie existed. If the paladins would appear in the movie, the church would definitely respond... In this matter, Hill was indeed insidious and cunning.

but.

"You know this, but you still got this far." Hill said.

"Do you want me to stay?" Monroe asked rhetorically.

Speaking of this step, Hill did not hide it, "I hope you stay, you are a capable person, and have aroused my greed, if you are willing to submit to me, stay in the lower realm or become a dark church The dark pope is all right."

There has never been such reuse in the church.

He also had a time when he was excited.

The kindness of being raised by the church.

but…

"There is a problem." Monroe said after a few seconds of silence.

"Say." Hill said.

"Have you heard of'Morton'?" Monroe asked.

Hilton didn't know how to answer. He really didn't know. He stared at Monroe for a while, until Monroe frowned: "The Devil?"

Hill snapped his fingers and said to the candlestick next to him: "Irvin, call Binns."

Ghost Binns is one of the most knowledgeable demons, so it's okay for him to explain.

Binns arrived soon, and Hill directly ordered: "Tell the lord knight about the Morton people."

Binns pushed the monocle and said: "The Mortons are a very small minority in the human world, and their dark skin is their main characteristic. They generally live on small islands outside the Magnolia mainland and around the island of the storm. They are also a troubled people. They used to live part of the mainland. Later, most of them were somehow treated as demons by the church and killed. By the way, besides the island of the storm, the Morton people are the largest The gathering place is the Dark Vatican, they have no choice but to really go to the demons."

It is precisely because of this that Binns knows Morton so much.

"That's it..." Monroe nodded slowly, "Devil, you have already seen everything through."

Hill: ...? ? ? When did I see everything through again. What do you know? Should i know something?

Monroe actually thought that the devil already knew what he meant by asking this, and thought he had already seen everything, so he didn't bother to explain it, and left it to his hand to explain it to him.

Hill, who didn't know why, looked blank, and was accustomed to posing in a dusty posture: "You are right."

What you said is right, I confessed my fate...

He thought helplessly.

Monroe let out a sigh of relief slowly, then laughed suddenly, his laughter was a bit heavy and a bit sour, "Really, the time, the right place, the right people. Now."

Hill said, "Then go with it."

"I want to try it one last time." Monroe said, "I have done so many things for the church, and I have done my best..."

"Don't die and just do it," Hill said.

Monroe smiled bitterly, "I want to believe in humanity for the last time, humanity."

Hill saw the struggle in Monroe's eyes. He looked at him for a few seconds, and then Hill said, "Okay. But this is the last time."

Monroe raised his hand and bowed to him for the first time. It was the manners of the Paladin when he met the noble.

"Goodbye. Lord Demon Lord."

His current attitude is completely different from when he first met. Hill thought. There should be a sense of accomplishment.

"Goodbye, Paladin."

Hill said.

The blood moon hung high above his head, sprinkling the cold moonlight on the entire wasteland.
