Although he did not know why the Candy Merchant cared whether Punk knew enough about devils, the truth was that the caster did know quite a bit about this magical race.
Devils could be called the representatives of Lawful Evil creatures. Unlike chaotic, fickle demons, devils were magical beings who lived in Hell. They were notorious for their formidable power, wicked dispositions, and ruthless yet efficient organizations. Devils also typically possessed an extremely rigorous social hierarchy, following a rank structure like that of ancient nobility as the foundation of their society.
At the same time, Legendary devils were generally bestowed the title of "Duke" as the highest social rank—although for Legendary devils themselves, such a social status, which was not directly tied to their level of power, was usually already meaningless.
That was all Punk knew about devils. Given the passage of such a vast amount of time, he was not even sure whether the knowledge he had inherited from the Netheril era had become outdated. Thus, faced with Mimibes's question, the caster merely answered blandly:
"I know a little, but not much..."
It was undoubtedly a highly ambiguous answer.
However, as an intermediary, Mimibes seemed not to have heard the doubt in the Legendary Mage's words. Upon hearing that he knew "a little," the dark-green little girl nodded and said to Punk:
"Mhm, knowing a little is enough... Did you know? I'm actually a devil, and I come from the noble Obalon clan. Although this surname has become meaningless at the Legendary tier... as a Legendary devil, I do know several other Devil Dukes."
As though she were showing something off, the Candy Merchant appeared extremely proud of her identity as a devil.
At the same time, she did not forget to tell Whisper of Destruction how this matter
