Chapter 69: Work at the Manor

Busy work began on Moher's estate.

Picking grapes and then brewing them. Although theoretically everyone present could use magic and super-fast movement to complete the task quickly, Mohe had no intention of doing so.

She even hired a number of farmers from Baixi Town, paid them a certain amount of money, and asked them to help with the picking.

The others were responsible for supervision.

The materials for making the fourth generation vampires were already complete, and Moher processed them slowly, without the same rush as Rose had at that time.

After all, Lisiduowei has a long life.

It is worth mentioning that after bringing enough materials, A. Sion said that he had to return to the Human Central Empire for a period of time.

This was only natural. After all, the opponent was a "Sword Saint." Regardless, in these politically turbulent times, they needed to return to stabilize the situation.

"Do you really dare to let her go? She's not a very bright person. If the virtuous king or others notice something unusual, they might try to trick or force her into revealing your location. You would be in great danger then."

Duo Luo asked Mo He this.

Mo He looked nonchalant: "Aren't you here? With your protection, I feel safe~"

Although she said so, Dora felt that she probably had not thought of pinning her hopes on him. In other words, Moh had already set some kind of trap.

But he didn't know the specific form and layout of the possible trap.

How should I put it? As expected of Moher?

It's similar to wine fermentation—the simplest method is to crush all the grapes. Leaving the grape skins, the gray mist that already exists on them is the fermentation material. This wasn't a problem for Mohe, who once possessed all-seeing eyes, but it remains a mystery to humans today. They've drawn some plausible conclusions based on experience, and while the principles aren't necessarily correct, they do achieve the desired results.

The girl stirred her fingers in the wine vat that was ready for fermentation, and they were stained with the crushed grape juice. She held her fingers in her mouth and savored them carefully.

"Hmm... and some spices and sugar."

Mohe had already prepared all of this. She did possess the demonic brewing techniques, and the steps were described in detail on a piece of paper she had given Duoluo. Duoluo wondered what Mohe would have achieved now if she had simply accepted that paper and parted ways with Mohe.
If I hadn't been there, Lisiduowei would have died in Bhutto City.

The devil was resurrected, took away her left hand, which symbolized eternity, and killed the men who had betrayed her.

Maybe, Mohe will cooperate with some high-level human beings.

The Demon King of the past wouldn't have done that, but the current Moh... no one could say for sure. This Demon King seemed to have learned enough lessons from her past failures. Compared to the past, when just standing in front of her would make people shudder, the current Demon King has become even more cunning, and people fall into her traps without even realizing it.

With eternal life, even a pig would be invincible.

Duo Luo couldn't help but recall what Mohe had said. It seemed that for a being like her, possessing eternal life, this was indeed the case. She had ample time to experiment and correct her "mistakes." Failure seemed like nothing to the Demon King. Or perhaps... her own subjugation of the Demon King wasn't really that surprising?
Perhaps over the long years, the Demon King had been defeated more than once, but... that was merely a minor episode in her long history. Within a hundred years, she would reign supreme once again, even more powerful. And then, as time passed, people forgot the past, and no one remembered the fact that the Demon King had ever been defeated.

If this is the case - in terms of eternal life, then these people and the things they do are all like drama?
It's like the theaters of the Central Empire, where every day, bards imbued with the spirit of "art" wander the world, offering their inspiration and sharing their experiences with the public. For Moher, are these people all like this? No need to dwell on them, as they will eventually fade away, but they offer insights and help her grow.

life……

The thirty-something hero realized for the first time the difference between the immortal and the short-lived species.

He once sneered at those who pursued a long life, believing that even if his life was short, as long as he worked hard enough, he could live a more wonderful life than those people who lived for hundreds of years.

But maybe...

Maybe it doesn't matter to those people.

Dora watched Moher inspect vat after vat. He wondered how many things like winemaking Moher had done over the years. How much of the world's technology and civilization actually originated from this demon king? Just like humanity's pursuit of art, it may have originally originated from the demon king.

How many things had she experienced in her long life?
As if noticing Dora's gaze, Moh turned around and said, "Do you want to try it too, Dora?" "Ah... No, I'd better wait until the wine is brewed before tasting it."

"Okay! You still say you don't understand! Don't you understand better than anyone else? The first taste after brewing is the most satisfying moment. The joy of harvest and the hard work of brewing are transformed into tangible experience at that moment." She really seemed to know a lot about the subject, and she spoke very logically.

To be honest, the Demon King sometimes seems to be a bit talkative, which always reminds Dora of the snow elf Elf, who also used to be a talkative person.

People with long lives always seem to be like this. Their long life experience is enough to support them in talking about any topic with anyone. They always know everything.

But compared with the snow elf and the demon king, she is just a little girl.

Moh took out a silk scarf and wiped his hands. "I think this batch of wine should be successful. The next step is fermentation and bottling... I hope they don't make too much trouble."

This "they" naturally refers to those high-level people who will control the fate of the world.

In fact, news had already spread this morning that Saint Shadi had stepped down from her position and that the church would be selecting a new Saint. The White Church possessed a method of communication that allowed news to spread rapidly throughout the country, and the churches themselves were also responsible for delivering the news.

In the morning, the news was brought to Baixi Town with certainty.

Even the farmers who came to the manor to harvest today started a discussion about this matter during the harvesting process. Some said that the saint was guilty of doing that and that was why she abdicated voluntarily. Others said that the saint must have her own deep meaning in doing so - in any case, Xia Di did abdicate from that position.

But people still habitually call her the Saint, as if this title has become her exclusive name.

It was difficult for people to imagine what the next Saint would look like. Whoever became the next Saint of the White Church would undoubtedly be compared to Shadi—and that would be incredibly stressful.

Of course, even so, there are definitely many people who want to become saints.

Moher gave the impression of a noble lady who was eager to gain fame. She enthusiastically invited the farmers who came to her house to harvest to a dinner party. Rose had been preparing all the food since morning... This didn't seem like something Moher would do. After all, if you invited them once and didn't invite them again, people would gossip about it.

But Moh didn't seem to care.

In her words, "It's just a temporary job anyway. I'll get some servants who will obey us completely later."

It sounds like she's planning to just create a batch of servants.

It has to be said that the Demon King who possesses the power to create life is really no different from God in a sense. Just as the White Church described in "The Sacred Records", humans are originally loyal servants of God, and humans originally exist for God.

It is also unknown what kind of creature she intends to create.

Dora was actually quite curious.

Of course, Moher had said that on purpose; she had no intention of creating new life. Without the authority to create and destroy back, creating new life was a very energy-consuming task, not to mention that she didn't have any strong desire to create.

The fourth generation of vampires was intended to be transformed on the original basis - creatures like the Enchantress were not in line with the aesthetics of the past Mohers, and were the product of reflection after experiencing failure.

The result wasn't entirely satisfactory, at least not yet. Doro made Moher wonder if he shouldn't have named this creature "Enchantment Demon." Perhaps it should have been "Kitchen Demon." After all, Rose was always in the kitchen, and she seemed quite content with her current state.

If he had not taken this path, the guy named Frodnik might have become a famous chef.

Mohe was planning to buy a group of slaves.

The slave trade was "banned" after the Demon King was defeated. After all, at that time, all major races united, and the only slaves allowed were demon slaves. However, Mohe was certain that with the outbreak of conflicts between the major forces, the slave trade would resurge.

She planned to acquire a group of dwarves and elves. Elves excelled at farming, while dwarves were skilled at forging. Adding some humans to handle household chores and daily life would be the perfect situation.

After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Since he was now a human being, he naturally had to emulate the words and deeds of the human nobles.

She also needs to slowly make her way from a wine merchant to a noble~
