Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 88 Star Tears, the content of the transaction
In the middle of the night, Adeline came to Moher's room.

At this moment, a very old oil lamp was lit in Moher's house, and she was reading a book in her hand.

"Does the Demon King have a habit of reading the Sacred Record?"

"This is a good book. It always reminds me of how I was conquered." Moh put away the book and put it aside.

Adeline took out an alchemical lamp, illuminated the room, and placed it on the table.

"Whether it's magic or something else, lighting should be easy, right? Why do you have to use an oil lamp like this?"

Mo He smiled. "It's clear even without lighting. I just think the oil lamp creates a very atmospheric atmosphere. Didn't you feel a sense of mystery when you came in? In an ancient mansion, a beautiful girl reading by oil lamp...wouldn't there be a strange beauty?"

Adeline had no idea what she was talking about. She felt that there was a huge gap between her thoughts and the Demon King's.

"You don't seem to have reabsorbed your right hand. He should have gotten it back for you."

"I'm not in a hurry about this. After all, you humans are not in a hurry."

"You are human now, right?"

Mo He looked calm and shrugged nonchalantly: "You may be right, but it won't affect anything."

As she spoke, her eyes scanned Adeline. "I thought you'd show up in Mr. Doro's room tonight. What's going on? Compared to Mr. Doro, who's already an older man, do you prefer a young and lovely girl like me? You have really good taste!"

"...You obviously knew I would come, so you were waiting for me here, right?"

"I have the habit of reading every night, and I don't change it for anything. Sleep is a boring thing for me with such a long life. Why don't you sit down first?"

Adeline sat down on another chair in the room. "Of course I'm here to discuss cooperation, Miss Moher. The World Destruction and the Horn of Doom are not the alchemical props I want that have enough deterrent power."

"With your current alchemy level, you can make it yourself, right?"

“—I can’t make it.”

Moher gave her a deep look. "You're truly cautious. You're the source of miracles, the alchemist who, thanks to miracles, managed to create alchemical artifacts like the World Reflection...right? Even if you were to do it again, you couldn't replicate it...so you could only take the Abinu Mirror, repair the Sky Barrier, and then find alchemical artifacts that have appeared elsewhere—you don't possess the ability to create such things yourself. You're quite ambitious, Miss Adeline."

When a person has to hide something no matter what, it only means that this person is not holding back anything good.

Adeline could clearly craft powerful alchemical tools herself, but she kept searching for those that had appeared in history. She simply wanted to hold back her ability to craft these tools, hoping to unleash them at the critical moment.

Moher became slightly more interested. She crossed her legs, looked at Adeline with interest, and asked, "Why don't you tell me what prop you want? There are many that have appeared in history. Some were given to others, some were destroyed by you, and some I kept for myself. Which one do you want?"

"I want Star Tears."

"Eh~"

Mohla's voice stretched out, "You're truly cruel! Miss Adeline, you should know that this alchemical tool isn't something you can use casually—once activated, it can't be stopped, and it has a long silent period. But correspondingly, once it falls, it will devastate all life, leaving nothing behind. It's powerful enough to obliterate an entire city, leaving only a crater. With luck or strength, you can still survive the Horn of Doom and the World's End. Aren't you going too far?"

Adeline nodded: "But this is the only one that can achieve the effect I want."

"Miss Adeline, wild beasts often bar their fangs and claws when facing an enemy they feel threatened, trying to appear as terrifying as possible. Your behavior is no different. Fear is driving you to such a point, and that's not a good thing." Moher offered honest advice. "If you really use something like this, I'm afraid Mr. Doro won't show mercy. You can't summon the gods."

"So this kind of thing will never fall on the city. I just want to show my military power."

Mo He nodded: "There is nothing wrong with your consideration, but since it is a cooperation, what can you bring to me?"

"Isn't it your request that I am in conflict with other forces?" Adeline frowned slightly. "What else do you want?"

"You're saying that, Miss Adeline. If I don't give you the props, it's as if you won't get into conflict with other factions. At this point, do you really think your Alchemy Association can stop? Some things, once done, can't be undone." Golden light streamed in the girl's eyes, brighter than the alchemy lamp. "You must admit that from the day you became the president of the Alchemist Association, you were on a path of no return. All of you."

Moher's vision seemed to be able to penetrate history and see the distant future: "So, this is not the content of our cooperation. Since we intend to cooperate, we should show further sincerity."

Adeline's expression darkened. She knew Moher would make demands, but the pressure of confronting the Demon King was immense. She felt she might not be able to accept his demands. "Let me think about the terms of the deal—yes, what about Shadi? Whatever you decide to do, I have no control over it, but you must find a way to deal with Saint Shadi. She's a truly troublesome opponent. Even Dora couldn't kill her personally. Her proximity to the gods does threaten me. I have to eliminate her. I don't want another Godora in the world. That would be terrible."

"I can not guarantee."

Moh took out a pocket and took out a "tear" from it.

This teardrop looked as clear and transparent as crystal, sparkling under the light of the alchemical lamp.

"This is, Star Tears?"

Mo He nodded. "Yes, Star Tears, what do you think of the shape of this tear? I think it's quite artistic. This is the inspiration I got when I was making this alchemical tool. I imagined that when everything was destroyed by it, I subconsciously felt pity and shed tears. I am so generous and kind."

If you were truly kind and compassionate, you wouldn't do such a thing.

The Demon King's words can only be listened to. After all, the Demon King theoretically has the ability to bewitch people... Although in the previous crusade against the Demon King, this existence seemed reluctant to use such power, but the current Demon King would definitely not mind doing so.

"She locked herself in the White Church's tower, hoping to further communicate with God. Even though she's already God's representative on earth, I think she wants more. She won't come out easily. She's probably scared by Godora's beating."

Adeline felt as though she could understand that feeling. If she were treated like that by Godora, she would probably be terrified, afraid to face the reality. Xia Di probably wouldn't be much better. Regardless, Godora was a very special person to them.

This is not something that can be easily ignored.

"That's not something I should consider. But... I can give you a suggestion." Mo He's eyes swirled around, and she clearly had some sinister plans. "I've heard before, from Duo Luo, that Xia Di and the Sage King are engaged. Whether it's for political gain or some other reason, or even if the two of them really have feelings for each other... If the pressure can't be put on Xia Di, put it on the Sage King.

Eventually I can force her out.

The Human Central Empire and the White Church are now essentially tied together, though there are certainly some dirty tricks going on—what do you think?"

I think?
"That's a good suggestion. I'll try to work on it."

Moher then handed the tear to Adeline and said, “Then the deal is done, Miss Adeline.

Ah! By the way, if you force Xia Di out and she really wants to marry the wise king, let them get married before taking action against her. I think this is what we are all looking forward to. "

"I will."

……

"Well~ I think I drank a little too much last night~" Lastina stretched lazily. She felt that she had not slept so soundly in a long time.

Miss Moher's mansion was a really nice place. As the eldest daughter of the Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce, she always had to consider various things and often had to rely on drugs and magic to restore some of her energy. Just like this, she didn't have to worry about anything and fell asleep naturally after drinking, which made her feel happy, as if the sky outside the window had become brighter.

Just at this moment, Adeline knocked on the door.

"Good morning, Miss Adeline."

"Good morning, Lastina. I'm here to say goodbye to you." Adeline said bluntly, "You know, I have a lot of things to do. Being able to attend a dinner like this is already the limit. I have to leave."

Lastina said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Miss Adeline, I've wasted your time."

"No, don't worry about it. I've heard about your situation. I'll write a letter to talk to your father and see if he can reconsider your marriage to a noble. But he may not listen to my advice."

"Is this too much trouble for you?"

Although she said this, she was already showing joy. It was obvious that this was something Lastina really needed.

Adeline couldn't help but feel a little funny: "No need to do this, we are friends, this is what I should do."
