Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 172 Invitation and Exploration
The Central Empire of Humanity, the Holy Tower of the Royal Capital.

Now we are at the center of the storm.

The assassination of the virtuous king sent the entire city into a state of panic. Everyone knew that a terrifying undercurrent was surging through the city. If one was not careful, one would be swept into it, shattered, and crushed to pieces.

It was in this situation that a woman stood out.

She was wearing a gorgeous red dress with gold trim, holding a scepter inlaid with gems. She walked down the street with such arrogance, heading all the way towards the palace.

Want to hold a banquet and invite everyone you can think of in the world? Then you naturally need a venue, and there is no place more suitable than the palace.

She never put down the scepter until she arrived at the palace.

"I am Lastina! Daughter of the former president of the Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce. Now, I have left the Chamber of Commerce to act on behalf of the will of the great Demon King! Today, I come bearing the Demon King's scepter! Symbolizing the great Demon King, wherever the scepter is, the Demon King is there!"

She continued to move forward, and the soldiers in front of the palace did not dare to stop her.

The word "devil king" is so heavy that it makes people dare not breathe.

She walked into the depths of the palace.

Then, he sat on the empty throne and said, "In the name of the Demon King, I invite all those who care about the world to come here for a banquet. No one is rejected. Let's share the feast and discuss the world!"

She certainly wasn't qualified to sit on this throne, but holding the Demon King's scepter gave her such qualifications. Rather, it was more accurate to say that this throne wasn't worthy of her status. Even though this was the palace of the Human Central Empire, even though all the ministers here were human, and she represented the Demon King who needed to be eliminated—she still directly issued such an order.

Because - no one dares not to fulfill it.

Without the hero's will, no one can resist the Demon King's orders.

The fear of being dominated by the Demon King once resurfaced in everyone's hearts. The peaceful times seemed like a dream.

Everyone clearly knows that the devil is back.

It is human beings themselves who do not cherish peace.

This short, dream-like life is about to end.

Someone will pass on the news here to those who are qualified to know the news here.

A meeting held in the name of the Demon King—those who don't attend will naturally lose another qualification.

The Demon King can decide who to kick out of the world's dominant order and erase any character from the world.

The only exception is the brave.

But the hero did not appear.

Therefore, even if the person sitting here is just a girl named Lastina, and many people present even know her... it is the same. She comes with the will of the Demon King. Those who disrespect her are disrespecting the Demon King - humans have long ceased to be loyal to the Demon King, but now, the life or death of the wise king is unknown.

"I will obey the orders of the Demon King!"

Many palace ministers bent their knees, accepted the Demon King's mission, and conveyed the Demon King's will.

……

Duo Luo has not gone to the royal capital yet.

According to the discussion between him and Lastina, they would meet again in ten days - ten days later was the time when the banquet would begin, which was enough time for the "strong men" from all over the world to rush to the royal capital.

With the help of Lastina, Moher's will was used to stop the war, and Dora disguised himself and came to the area where the rebels were.

From the time Duke Reggus launched his rebellion until now, the army has already reached the edge of Duke Reggus's territory - in fact, a war has already broken out in his territory. After all, some nobles said, "I am loyal to the wise king, not you, Reggus. You are courting death yourself, don't drag me down with you!" and launched an attack on Reggus like this.

But usually, the leaders of such wars do not die.

Duo Luo didn't know much about this situation, so he came to the battlefield.

The war within humanity—

Before, all the major races united and launched a war against the demons. He was always on the battlefield, always scheming against the demons, always thinking about how to defeat the demons and defeat the Demon King. Now, he had to look at things with a different eye, observe things with a different eye, watch the wars between humans, and watch how humans acted when they fought among themselves.

What does this mean for the people in the territory?

"Young man, are you also fleeing here?"

An old woman saw Duo Luo and said, "The rebels are cooking for everyone. If you go too late, you will go hungry today!"

"Cooking?"

Duo Luo was stunned for a moment: "Where is it?"

"there!"

Following the direction the old woman pointed, Duo Luo moved over.

"One bowl per person, no queue-jumping, no repeats!"

Cooking for the people?

Duo Luo felt a little relieved. This was the scene he expected to see. It was a good thing that nothing disappointing happened. However—

The portion of the meal was not very big, but it was pretty good to be able to eat it for free.

Finish the meal. Someone said to Duo Luo.

"Boy, you look pretty strong! How about joining us? We're heading to the capital! When we capture it, we'll get promoted and given titles! I'm afraid we can become as powerful as you, the old man!"

A superior person like that? You mean a noble?

"Is this possible?"

"Why not?" the man said immediately. "Don't underestimate us because we're the rebels or anything like that. We're loyal to the Demon King! Need we even explain the weight of the word 'Demon King'?"

The one he is loyal to is the Demon King... Moher would never do such a thing. That person seems to have no interest in the legion. The gargoyle army under the mansion was created by Lisiduowei when she thought that Xiadi's expedition was coming.

"But it's only been over a decade since the major races rebelled against the Demon King's rule..."

"What about the various races rebelling against the Demon King's rule? That was all made up by that old bastard, the Wise King! There has never been such a history! It's just that the Wise King's shameless humans are trying to cover up the truth of history! Our great Duke Reggus couldn't tolerate such a thing happening! That's why he angrily assassinated the Wise King and then raised the banner of rebellion!"

Duo Luo was stunned. He suddenly realized that the young man who was talking to him seemed to be in his teens and less than twenty years old. When he overthrew the Demon King, he might have been just learning to speak. Therefore, he did not believe that there was a history of demons ruling the world. From the time he had a clear understanding of the world, this world was one where humans ruled humans.

So, are all the people here like this?

Do not--

"I see."

He did not argue with such a young man, but said: "I am already old, and it would be a death wish for me to fight again. Are you short of a cook? I am a pretty good cook!"

"Cook? Uncle, you can cook! I'll tell my boss right away!"

After some tests, Duo Luo became a cook for such a rebel army.

"You're calling for Dora—come and help me prepare the materials for tomorrow!"

It was just slicing potatoes, but the workload was quite heavy since there were so many people eating.

Duo Luo is quite nimble.

"Doro! You did a great job!"

"I am over-flattered."

"Boss, I have a question."

As Duo Luo worked, he gradually started chatting with others: "Do we have enough food in stock?"

Hearing Duo Luo's words, the head chef asked with a hint of caution: "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm just wondering, if we don't have so much food, why do we give it to others every day? Ah... I eat it too, of course I'm very grateful, but, are we resistance soldiers really fat?"

"Do we look fat to you?"

Duo Luo took a look at the cooks and their leftovers. They were actually quite thin. Generally speaking, cooks were considered easy to gain weight. But they were different.

"We don't have that much food! But Lord Reggus demands that we represent the will of both the Hero and the Demon King and love the people around us—I don't quite understand his thinking, but winning a battle like this won't be easy. War is a cruel thing."

When Duo Luo heard his words, he looked puzzled: "You are..."

"I participated in the war against the Demon King. Back then, I wasn't even the head chef. Like you, I was helping out here. I've been hearing about the war... Back then, the heroes led the various races to defeat the Demon King. Now, the Demon King and the heroes are entangled together—sometimes I really don't understand this world, but, generally speaking, what happened is what happened. There's nothing I can do about it, even if I become a refugee. I can only try my best to survive."

Duo Luo couldn't comment on this.

The head chef continued, "If you must say, the resistance is good. At least working for them doesn't go against one's conscience. If we lose, so be it. Regardless of what Duke Reggus thinks, at least we feel comfortable doing this job. Even if we eat less, as long as we're not starving, it seems pretty good."

Duke Reggus——

Is this an open conspiracy?
No, using the word "plot" to describe it is a bit of an exaggeration. Duke Reggus almost wrote his own thoughts on his face, and his meaning was very clear.

"I am making a gesture to you, the brave warrior. Do you want to recognize a legion like mine?"

Even if it was just a gesture for him to see, at least the gesture was made. Even if he didn't approve of such a corps, he wouldn't take action against it, let alone deny its name.

At this moment, Reggus's rebellion is indeed full of "justice".

But is it possible to maintain such justice in the long run?
Duke Regulus, his resistance—

According to Moher, this was the instruction of the Wise King, and the reason for the Wise King's instruction was because of his actions in the Elven Kingdom...

He still couldn't quite understand the logic behind this, but...

He still has several days left. He can stay here for a while, and then go over there for a while to truly experience the will of the warring parties.
