Another World Fantasy Novel "Assistant of the Demon" Chapter 7 (2)

To be honest, I still think this question is definitely a great mystery that can belong to the century. Although the Demon Lord's letter mentions the main reason she hired me, I don't think that's enough to explain everything.

For her, I should be a very troublesome existence: my basic skills in manipulating the force of nature are not good at all, to the extent that I will be laughed at; I don't respect her, I always call her a bastard, and I want to pinch all the time kill her; I'm always going against her ideas, and even if someone sacrifices her, I don't feel it, but I'm heartbroken, and my body is torn apart; I always want to save everyone, but she'll think I'm an unrealistic dreamer .

Perhaps it may be useful to recall the "golden apple farce" of two months ago.

While I was waiting for the elves to finish their work, I found that hellish memory in my head, and I felt that the Demon King and the Beastmaster called it a "farce", which is a very apt and ironic description, because everything is a Occurs from the racial inferiority of a vampire:

"I just want to make the blood race more noble and elegant, but this dream has been trampled on by you."

The so-called vampires are actually vampires that can move freely under the sun, and need to regularly absorb the blood of the human race to maintain their lives. However, they poison each other when they suck blood, thus killing each other, so the Terran will never let the vampire without the "blood oath" - a trading agreement that exchanges the blood and natural power of the vampire for the loyalty of the vampire. suck blood.

However, some vampires don't like blood oaths. They think killing humans is justified, just as leopards hunt deer, eagles hunt mice, and their behavior is part of the laws of the world. Why do they have to exchange loyalty with the Terran to be able to live? The emergence of the "Demon Hunter Regulations" turned their doubts into a fuse of anger, because this regulation states that it is illegal for the demons to kill the clan at will, and they will be hunted down by the demon hunters, or directly sentenced to death. . The races that live on the flesh and blood of the human race can only eat the human race that has been listed as death row, or go to the battlefield to prey on the soldiers of the enemy country.

Is this unfair to the vampires? Maybe. But it was definitely a wise rule for a human race that only possessed natural power, and Jack Dess, the father of the Demon King who made this rule, became the greatest Demon King in this world. However, Demon Lord Jack Dess did not properly appease the small number of demons who were affected by this regulation. As a result, even though it has been fifteen years since his death, the regulation he left behind still caused the occurrence of the "Golden Apple Farce".

Many innocent people died as a result.

I closed my eyes and thought of the people who were treated as "floating bombs", and of myself who had to stab them with swords in order to stop them from exploding, and it made me sick.

"You are a kind person, Bertha. But if your kindness is in the present without seeing the future, then your kindness is nothing but hypocrisy. Think about it, if those people exploded in the city center, there would be How many people were injured or killed?"

"Do you mean 'sacrificing the ego, fulfilling the ego'? It's a life, not the spirit of the invisible ego!"

"Then do you have a way to save them? Do you have a way to make the bomb in their bodies go away? If you're making a fuss here without a clue, you're just going to be a problem for everyone. If you want to save every life , then you will have power, but now you have no power at all."

"And you are not willing to save even if you have the strength."

"……Maybe."

The words are still in my ears. At that time, the conversation with the Demon King hit my heart hard and made me realize my incompetence, but I couldn't help to find out why the Demon King hired me. I only remember that I let go of my thoughts of killing and my hatred of the culprit behind the scenes, thinking about saving the lives that could be saved, so that the whole thing ended in a good outcome: all of us survived, and the culprits behind the scenes Die, and no more innocent citizens will be involved. However, is this really a good ending?

On the premise of 523 dead and 851 injured, is this really a good ending?

Up to now, I am still very hesitant.

"So, the colors you see are just the colors you want to see. This is your first assignment for yourself, Bertha. I've worked here for years and I can't see the difference. Come."

The words the Demon King said this morning suddenly appeared at this time, and I couldn't help thinking that this hesitation might be the reason why the Demon King hired him.

Someone suddenly pulled at the towel that was wrapped around me. When I opened my eyes, I found that the elves came to me and returned the folded clothes together. I take it, smile at them, thank them, and watch them go back to their jobs, relaxed and ready for their next job.

Ah, I have to deal with real work too.
