Matters

On the 421st day since I left the young master, I met the Demon King. Because I was exploring the Demons territory before, I didn't meet him right away. He was very powerful, and I was no match for him. The Demon King was very happy to see me and asked me to work for him. I said I would think about it for a while, after all, refusing the Demon King was not a good thing. I decided to fool him first.

On the 431st day since I left the young master, the Demon King told me about his ideal, a very grand ideal, but I don't understand why he would slaughter humans for this ideal.

On the 441st day since I left the young master, I met many very powerful Demons in the Demon King's Castle. They were all dedicated to researching a unique form of magic. One Demons, who could foresee the future, was extremely powerful. He was the Demon King's confidant, and I was probably no match for him. He was puzzled because he couldn't see my future. I felt somewhat lost, as if the young master had placed a restriction on me, preventing him from seeing my future. He was very interested in me, but I didn't like him. His name seemed to be something like the All-Knowing Schlacht, a rather nice name. I also adopted a nice name based on his: Solitär.

On the 551st day since I left the young master, I met an interesting Demons named Macht. Macht is a very strange Demons; he is one of the Seven Sages of Destruction of the Demon King's Army, and his Mana is extremely strong, almost on par with mine. He said he dislikes fighting and prefers a peaceful atmosphere. He is tired of seeing Demons and humans fighting to the death every day. Rather than cruelly killing humans, he prefers to use his unique Diagoldze to transform humans into beautiful statues. This seems like a harmonious coexistence, giving his enemies permanent peace, wealth, and eternal blessings.

The Diagoldze is very powerful; it has the ability to transform all living things into a metal similar to gold, whether it be birds in the sky or trees and stones in nature.

Macht has a strange idea: he wants to coexist with humans. This perfectly aligns with the young master's thoughts. Being with the young master is a sign of successful coexistence between humans and Demons. Hehehe, I never thought there would be someone among the Demons who shared the same idea as me. I miss the young master again.

Five hundred and sixty-one days after leaving the young master, I became friends with Macht. He was a decent Demons, lacking the bloodlust of other Demons. On the contrary, he was very elegant, especially when killing humans. Not a single drop of human blood fell to the ground; it all turned into gold. He was truly amazing.

On the 600th day since I left the young master, Macht envied my previous travels in human towns. I told him about my adventures in the Underground Labyrinth, the novel things and human adventurers, which Macht found very interesting.

On the 660th day since leaving the young master, Macht said he wanted to understand the feelings of malice and guilt. I found it strange that Macht, as Demons, had such advanced thinking. He didn't understand this kind of knowledge, but I happened to have been taught about it by Sister Xiao Wu and Sister Xiao Xue. Malice is casually trampling on flowers and grass, while guilt is knowingly trampling on flowers and grass is wrong but still doing so, and then feeling a strange sense of self-reproach because you shouldn't have trampled on them.

Macht was stupid and still couldn't understand, but the clever Solitär used a vivid metaphor: the small flowers and grass were like humans, Macht's random killing of humans was bad and malicious. After realizing that he had killed humans randomly, he understood his malicious actions and felt a strange sense of guilt.

Macht nodded thoughtfully. He planned to conduct an experiment. I had no interest in his experiment, because the young master had said that humans should not be killed maliciously, and humans should not approach anyone other than the young master. Of course, any human who tried to harm Solitär was not a good human and could be crippled and handed over to the young master.

It's been seven hundred days since I left the young master. The other Seven Sages of Destruction magic are all quite unique. I met a guy named Miracle Grausam, who is most skilled in using mental magic. He can manipulate other people's minds to erase their memories or immerse them in a wonderful mental world.

Macht even thought Grausam was a troublesome fellow; his mental magic was exceptionally unreasonable.

Macht was quite good; he stopped Grausam from giving me a dream experience. Actually, I also wanted to test the power of Mana scattering on Grausam, which was a pity.

On the 731st day since I left the young master, I encountered Immortal Bose, one of the Seven Sages of Destruction. He is most skilled in Barrier Magic, and his theories on Barrier Magic have transcended everyone in this world. It is said that his Barrier Magic cannot be easily broken, and almost all the humans imprisoned inside die from lack of oxygen. He is a terrifying guy. He has a very good personality and exchanged a lot of insights about Barrier Magic with me. He is a good Demons, at least for Demons, he is a relatively good one.

On the day after leaving the young master, Macht was ordered by the Demon King to destroy a human village. According to Macht, this was just an order given arbitrarily by the Demon King. There were no powerful humans in that village; on the contrary, the humans there were very weak. Perhaps killing all the humans in that village would make the Demon King feel better.

On the day after leaving the young master, Macht returned after killing all the humans in that village. I asked him if he had encountered anything interesting. He pondered for a moment and told me about meeting a priest who wasn't afraid of him. The priest said some things that made him very unhappy. Macht didn't say what those words were, but I think they weren't insults, since Macht doesn't seem to care about insults at all. The priest's words must have hit a nerve with Macht. Macht also said that the priest's gaze disgusted him, but it also made him want to understand humanity more and more, and to understand the meaning of malice and guilt.

I don't understand. Macht is such an idiot for not understanding malice and guilt after all this time. Although he is an idiot, he seems to be a bit ahead of other Demons. He has the potential to be the young master's dog, no, his servant.

In the Unified Kingdom, the Little Fool returned to the Royal Capital with a wealth of intelligence and eagerly rushed towards Li Yan. At this moment, Li Yan was just like when the Little Fool left. Looking at the Little Fool's coquettish behavior like a little girl, Li Yan couldn't help but chuckle and stroke the Little Fool's head.

Over the years, the Little Fool's Mana has improved significantly, reaching Mana of over eighty.

"Have you missed me, Little Fool?"

Li Yan tickled the Little Fool's chin like she was teasing a kitten. Feeling a little ticklish, the Little Fool leaned against Li Yan and obediently exposed its belly.

"Think!"

"Young Master, I've made so many friends in the Demons, and they're all so amazing."

The Little Fool enjoyed Li Yan's gentle caresses, his eyes narrowing into slits as he rubbed his head against Li Yan's arm.
