Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 187 Wishes and Values

"It's just changing a name, what's the point of doing that?"

"It's very meaningful!"

Moh laughed and said, "Just like A Godora changed his name to Doro, the meaning of a curse master changing his name to a wizard is not as simple as it seems. I think you can understand that. Besides, as the source of the curse, it is not strange for me to make some modifications to the nature of this source's power."

The girl spoke casually about some unbelievable things, but Yin Nefert could not refute them.

Because the one who said this is the Demon King.

Moch presented the terms of the deal in such a calm and unassuming manner.

It was as calm as drinking tea on a quiet afternoon.

Compared to other factions, the Cursed Masters Alliance is in a very awkward position.

This alliance originated from all races, and was also resisted by all races. If it were Doro, people might be able to accept the Cursed Masters Alliance. If it were the Demon King, he might be able to do the same. Therefore, compared to other forces, which are somewhat biased, the Cursed Masters Alliance has room for choice. However, as the leader of the alliance, Yin Nefeld is also very clear about the nature of this kind of nothingness.

Mokh's offer was so tempting that it made one wonder if there were some hidden secrets or conspiracies involved, and that one could easily fall into a trap without realizing it.

“You don’t have to rush into a decision; I’m giving you that freedom. You can decide who to side with after hearing Mr. Doro’s terms, provided that you and Mr. Doro can still have a conversation—I think you should still have some things to say. How about it? I can grant you something, something that gives you the most basic qualification to negotiate with Mr. Doro.”

She was trying to cause Doro a little trouble—In Nefertari realized this, and replied, “I’m not like those guys. They made their choices, and because they weren’t willing to admit their mistakes or failures, they had to do something to prove themselves right. As it turns out, they only proved their stupidity and mistakes once again, repeatedly emphasizing the consequences of arrogance to the world. I’m different from them. I admit I made the wrong judgment. At that point in time, I believed their words, which led to the situation we have today.”

"Let me, an immortal being, tell you something, Yin Nefeld. This seemingly mature summary is actually meaningless. For any living being, no matter how many failures they have experienced, when they stand at the forefront of history, they cannot judge whether they will be blown away in the next instant. Before the future truly arrives, no one dares to say that they will not fail. Even I will make mistakes in my choices—that is why I stand in front of you in this form."

Moch said honestly, “So, you’re making it sound like you’ve learned from past mistakes—then tell me, what conclusion did you draw from that lesson? That you absolutely, completely believe in A. Godora? Believe he can definitely defeat the Demon King? Or believe that I, the Demon King, will never die and will ultimately win this war? I don’t even know the answer myself, do you think you can judge that? If you could, then this little game between Mr. Doro and me wouldn’t even exist. So, thinking about the past is pointless. Whom you like more, whom you trust more… I think that’s something you need to examine your own heart to find the answer to.”

The demon king's aura was on full display.

"I will think about it."

Ein Nefert left the manor of Moher.

This was her first real conversation with the Demon King—as the source of the curse, many curse masters harbored special feelings towards the Demon King.

People choose to curse because they have no other choice but to use it as a means to become stronger and survive. However, the power of curses can sometimes lead to death, not to mention the discrimination and mistreatment they suffer in daily life.

This group rarely dared to raise their heads and speak; their loudest voices were actually heard when they were fighting the Demon King… Even though the Demon King was the source of this power, and even though the curse masters had held countless internal meetings to consider whether the power of the curse would disappear from the world if the Demon King died… in the end, the curse masters still unhesitatingly turned their spears against the demons and the Demon King.

The conditions offered by Moh were practically irresistible to the curse masters. Yin Nifid was even certain that Doro could not offer similar conditions; at most, he could only provide a form of protection—but protection maintained by the majesty of the King of Men could not truly protect one's heart.

She passed this message on to the Cursed Masters Alliance, asking the other cursed masters to consider the matter, as she had already met with the Demon King.

However, they had never truly had a conversation with Doro. Since that day, even when they had seen Doro before, he seemed not to see them, and even when they were all there, Doro did not speak to them.

The counterfeit goods they made received more attention from Doro than the counterfeit goods themselves—was Doro doing this on purpose?
If that were the case, that would be good. If Doro still harbored hatred towards them, perhaps that would be a manifestation of her love. But all Doro showed was distance, a distance stemming from disgust, like someone you don't like and naturally wouldn't talk to them much, feeling exhausted even if you said just one more word.

That's what they were to Doro.

Therefore, Inneferdula went to see Moher first. She tried to get some answers from Moher about the Will of Doro. Moher clearly saw through her thoughts, so she gave her a lot of information. Could this information be trusted? Probably so, because Moher had no reason to deceive herself.

Of course, that demon king might want to see some fun—if Doro doesn't exist in this world.

If Doro doesn't exist, and this world is all Moh's plaything, then Moh might lie at any time. What is impossible as long as it makes her happy?
However, now that Doro exists in this world, and there are beings of the same level as her, there is a "conflict of interest" for Moh regarding Doro. There are things she cares about, so she cannot treat the world as if it were her plaything.

She must defeat Doro by any means necessary.

So, could her internal dialogue also constitute a deadly move she uses against Doro?
Perhaps this is thinking too far ahead.

Yin Nefeld put all her thoughts aside. She didn't know what the Cursed Alliance should do, but she knew what she wanted to do: she wanted to see Doro.

……

In an unnamed tavern, Adriana was drowning her sorrows as usual, surrounded by several elegantly dressed mages.

"Guild Master! This is a critical moment for the survival of the Mage Guild. We need you back to take charge! What kind of image is it for you to be drowning your sorrows in alcohol here?"

Adriana swung her hand casually and said drunkenly, "Go back to take charge? You should make me go back to take the blame, right? You don't dare to face our new King, so you want me to go back and bear his wrath. What do you want me to do? Strip naked, crawl into his palace, offer up everything, and beg for his forgiveness? I know that routine."

Her words were slightly sharp, but the several elderly-looking mages present remained calm: "As a noblewoman, to be able to marry someone like the Human King is naturally an honor. Besides, you have a history with the Human King. For any man, the best way to vent his anger on a woman he hates is always to turn that woman into his most loyal plaything. Men can never give up this sense of conquest, and the alliance between the Mage Guild and the Human King will become a legendary tale."

"In fact, the White Church has excommunicated the former saintess, Sadie, and sent her to the Human King's side. I think I don't need to elaborate on their purpose—the Human King allowed Sadie to live, which means that the relationship between the White Church and the Human King has eased. Perhaps it will even reach a new level. This is something our Mage Guild cannot allow!"

Adriana shook the empty wine bottle in her hand, looking at the magicians with disdain: "Why can't you tolerate it? Because the Church of White preaches that everyone is a child of the goddess, and that people are equal, but magicians are born noble—magic is proof of nobility... So you can't tolerate it, is that it?"

Upon hearing her words, several mages' expressions changed drastically: "Adriana! You are also a noble! You are a mage bearing the name of a sage! How could you say such a thing!"

"Come on! What's the use of being a sage?"

Adriana shouted without any politeness, "Didn't you see? We made a fake! And that fake can never beat the real thing! I've studied magic my whole life, bearing the name of a sage! So what? I used the Demon King's horn to deliver a fatal blow to him, and he just smiled and took it, and nothing happened to him..."

At this point, she seemed to suddenly feel relieved: "You're right, I only have value as a woman, at least I have that thing down there that can make men happy. I'll go back and pack myself up and send myself to the King of Men, are you satisfied now? If you're satisfied, then get out! I'll go find him myself!"
