What were demons? In many people's eyes, demons represented evil. They corroded all life and energy that could be corroded. They were brutal, emotionless, and full of destruction.
However, as a gamer, Liang Lidong knew that demons also had their own feelings. It was just that people couldn't understand them because they were different from other races.
This was normal. There had been many wars between humans on Earth just because of religion, not to mention races that looked completely different. Liang Lidong had met many different demons in the game and knew that they also had feelings. It was just that because of their different living environments, their worldview and reasons for doing things were completely different from the human world.
For example, they ate the corpses of their relatives.
Many demons would eat the corpses of their relatives. In their eyes, dead relatives would become a part of them and live with them forever. If one really looked into it, the fundamental reason was that resources were very scarce in the Devil World. It was very difficult to survive, so they couldn't waste any food.
Liang Lidong admitted that demons also had feelings. But no matter what, he would still find a way to kill them when he met them. There was no other reason than their different standpoints.
After all, the values of the two sides were too different, and they couldn't be reconciled most of the time. If he met a demon, as long as there were no special circumstances, he would definitely beat it to death. He wasn't a saint and didn't care if demons had feelings or not.
However, Emma seemed to be greatly shocked. After all, in the common understanding of this world, demons were evil and ruthless. Everything they did was to destroy the stability of the human world.
But now, Beta told her that the power of this demon's self-destruction was so small that it probably didn't want to hurt her. This caused her worldview to be refreshed once again.
A few servants heard the noise and ran in from outside. Two of the maids fainted on the spot, and the other servants turned pale with fright. The puddles of blue blood explained a lot.
Although most ordinary people hadn't really seen demons before, they still knew some basic knowledge. For example, most demons had blue blood.
"Clean up this place." Emma frowned and then said, "Those who are willing to participate in the cleaning, each go to the butler and get a silver coin."
After all, for ordinary people, it wasn't a pleasant thing to be in close contact with demons, even dead demons.
However, if there was a monetary reward, then the situation would be a little different.
Emma heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that someone was willing to clean up the bloodstain. She walked in front and pushed open the back door of the castle.
As she walked. "Beta, why did you say that the demon deliberately reduced the power of his self-destruction to avoid hurting me?"
"Because other than that, there is no other reason," Liang Lidong said with a smile, "Moreover, I saw that when it saw you, its gaze was clearly different."
Emma shook her head in a self-deprecating manner. "How could a demon have feelings for a human …"
"That's hard to say. Maybe it's been watching you for years. If that was the case. It can be said to have watched you grow up. It's normal to have feelings for you! "
Emma's body suddenly stopped moving. She suddenly turned around and said, "I remember something … … it was less than half a year after I came here. Because I left Father and Mother, I was very lonely. Once, I secretly went to the backyard to cry. At that time, there was a strange person wearing a black cloak who kept making me happy. Then, he suddenly disappeared in front of me. Because someone came … … Could it really be him? "
Liang Lidong didn't reply. This was Emma's own business, and it wasn't good for him to interrupt.
After a while, Emma bit her cute pink thin lips and asked, "That shadow demon died just like that?"
"The soul of a shadow demon that self-destructs will return to the Realm of Demons."
Emma heaved a sigh of relief. She turned and continued to walk towards the main hall, her footsteps much lighter.
Liang Lidong didn't tell her that although the shadow demon returned to the Realm of Demons, it might not survive. After all, the Realm of Demons was very cruel. Demons that didn't complete their mission usually didn't have a good ending.
The two walked to the main hall and sat there. Not long after, the butler Joseph came over with three middle-aged men who looked like officials.
They first bowed to Emma, then their gazes fell on Liang Lidong. One was curious, and the other two had a vague sense of rejection in their eyes.
Liang Lidong vaguely guessed the reason, but he couldn't be bothered to care.
Emma also nodded slightly at the three of them, and then roughly explained what happened in the cellar. She then said, "Our history books have been altered. The only people who could freely enter and exit the cellar back then were the few of us sitting here. So I want to ask, who did it? If you step forward now, I can still forgive you and let you leave the castle safely. But if I find out who did it, the consequences will be different. "
It had to be said that when Emma put on a stern face, she was quite imposing.
However, the three of them appeared very calm, and none of them had any strange expressions. Emma looked at the three of them for a while, then sighed. "In that case, you three can leave first. I will inform you when I have clues."
The three of them didn't leave immediately. The middle-aged clerk with a long face in the middle bowed slightly and said, "Miss, the young people of our castle have returned. They are in the garden outside the castle, waiting for your summon and audience."
"Oh?" Emma was stunned for a moment. "Who informed them?"
"Me!" Joseph stepped forward and said, "Miss, you are back. As your Knight, they naturally have to come back to protect you."
Emma shook her head and said, "But I won't stay here for long."
Joseph continued, "But this is their duty. No matter how many days you are back, as long as you are back, they have to fulfill their duty. Also, they will never feel that protecting you is a trouble. "
Emma secretly glanced at Liang Lidong. Seeing that he didn't seem to mind, she was relieved.
Usually, the princess of every kingdom would be protected by a team of Knight. This was a common practice. In many cases, the princess and her knight would have ambiguous and ambiguous relationships until they were married off to another country by political marriage or married to a man of lower status.
However, Emma wasn't that kind of person. She wasn't very old, and she spent a lot of time cultivating in the Storm Temple. As a noble Saintess, she rarely stayed at home. Therefore, her relationship with her Knight Guardian was a little strange.
Emma nodded. "Then let's go out and meet them."
Liang Lidong stood up and said, "Then I'll go upstairs and rest. Just have someone call me when it's time for lunch."
Joseph gave Liang Lidong a "you know what's good for you" look and then left the main hall with Emma. The three clerks followed them.
When Liang Lidong returned to his room, Joan Of Arc was still sleeping on the bed. He shook his head, opened the quest system, and read the introduction word by word.
The quest system would only trigger quests that could increase experience. It didn't distinguish between good and evil. When the players first entered the game, they followed the quest system and found that they had killed a lot of good people.
After they gradually familiarized themselves with the system, they could vaguely tell if the quests themselves were unnecessarily evil based on their knowledge and abilities.
Now that a demon had appeared in Emma's house, and together with the demon he killed in Sisilia, it was obvious that the Realm of Devils was behind this incident.
Diablo was part of the Realm of Devils, and it seemed reasonable that the creatures of the Realm of Devils wanted to rescue him. But the more it was so, the more Liang Lidong found it strange. The creatures of the Realm of Devils were mostly cold and ruthless. It didn't seem very likely that they would try their best to save a companion who was sealed in the human world.
But in any case, it was inevitable that the Realm of Devils was involved in this. But now, Liang Lidong suspected that there must be a more important conspiracy behind this. Otherwise, it didn't make sense why they would spend so much effort to turn Emma into a chess piece.
Actually, with Kail's straightforward personality, as long as he was guided appropriately, he would be led by the nose. Bringing Emma into the picture would instead create more uncertainties. Unless … Emma had a more important role.
Liang Lidong considered many possibilities, but because there was still too little information, he couldn't confirm which one it was.
Thinking time always passed quickly. Just as Liang Lidong was about to make some magic scrolls, a servant knocked on the door and invited him down for lunch.
He looked out the window and realized that it was already noon.
When he went down to the main hall, he found that Kail and Alice had returned. Emma was sitting in the main seat, and behind her stood a young man in white chain armor.
This young man was very handsome and had a head of golden hair. When he saw Liang Lidong, he smiled slightly as a form of greeting. However, Liang Lidong could see that under his sunny appearance, there was hostility towards him.
Another person who liked Emma!
As a woman, Alice keenly sensed the strange atmosphere. She turned around and looked at Liang Lidong with a smile, as if she were going to watch a show.
There was an empty seat on Emma's left. Liang Lidong sat down there, and then he felt a stinging gaze on him. He raised his head and found that it was the blond young man who was looking at him.
A smiling tiger … but not strong enough.
Seeing that the other party was only level four, Liang Lidong didn't care. But when he was about to eat, the other party said, "Sir, you look unfamiliar. Can you tell me your name and family name?"
Liang Lidong looked at him and smiled. "Alright, I admit that I'm a liar. I'm here to swindle food and drink. If you want to put me in jail, you'll have to wait until I'm done eating."
Hearing that, Alice burst into laughter. Kail grinned too.
Emma was a little embarrassed, she said unhappily: "Caesar, pay attention to your words."
