Chapter 1218: Doomsday (II)
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
This monster . . . could speak human language!
The earl was reddened to temples when the guard helped him up . He had intended to exhibit his authority and valor in front of the demon to impress the other nobles . He had not expected, however, that the demon would uncover his carefully disguised gallantry with just one single word . What was more mortifying was that the demon was alone .
"Damn it . I must kill this monster!"
Marwayne raised his hand while gritting his teeth . He was about to order the soldiers to shoot when the old scholar suddenly stopped him and blinked . His lips took shape of a silent "stay put" .
It took the earl a few seconds to realize that he should not lose his composure at the moment . Since the demon could talk, there was a possibility of negotiation and communication . Considering the situation was uncertain at this point, it was unwise to resort to force . The earl realized that the rumor circulated by the Graycastle men did cloud his judgement, for he had also, for a split second, viewed the demon as his enemy .
Perhaps, the demon came here alone as an ambassador .
Why did he take no action in the first place but stood upon the city wall while doing nothing?
If the demon was ferocious like what Graycastle men had said, it should have raided the surrounding villages unprotected by the city wall a long time ago .
The more Marwayne contemplated the matter, the more convinced he was . Had he killed the ambassador, he would have bred enmity with the demon, which was exactly what the Graycastle men wanted .
However, the earl found it hard to change his hostile attitude so quickly and sit down to talk in an amicable manner, for just a moment ago, he had commanded the demon to kneel down .
Fortunately, the old scholar understood the earl's dilemma . He stepped forward and said, "Impertinent! If you can speak our language, why didn't you tell us the purpose of your trip? Our lord kindly gives you another chance to speak . What's your intention of coming here?"
Marwayne praised the old scholar internally . He had paid 10 gold royals for the service of this former butler at the king's city .
"Before I answer you, I have a question for you," the demon said placidly . "What's your relationship . . . with the human beings on the Fertile Plains . "
The Fertile Plains? Where was it? They exchanged confused looks, utterly bemused .
But Marwayne was now very sure that this monster was an ambassador .
"I don't know where the Fertile Plains is," the old scholar replied again . "One place may have different names in different parts of the kingdom . We are of different races, and we may have very different ways to call a city . Bring a map, and I may tell you where it is . "
"No, you humans came up with this name, and I'm just borrowing it . " The demon then shook his head and said, "I see . . . I can't believe you're still like hundreds of years ago where each lord circled out their own territories without knowing anything about this world . I was expecting to see you yield to your fate in disbelief, terror and despair, but it seems that I was wrong . "
What did it mean? What monstrous absurdity it was talking about . The earl frowned . For a moment, he seemed to capture a faint hint of disappointment in its horrific countenance .
"Are you referring to . . . the Graycastle men?" the Chief Knight suddenly asked .
"Yes?" the demon said while looking toward him .
"They've been saying that demons will creep out of hell when the Bloody Moon appears . They're gone now," the knight said contemptuously . "If you go after them now, you may be able to catch a glimpse of them at the port in the east . "
"Really?" the demon said as it gazed upon the east, and then turned around again . "I'll go, but not now . Since you know nothing about the Fertile Plains, then I'll cut the crap . "
"I'm the Sky Lord, the commander of the Western Front Army . Thousands of years ago, your race and my race made an agreement to fight against the witches and their underlings . Your ancestors agreed to serve us . I granted them land, power and wealth . This contract has yet been terminated . It won't terminate until the war ends . You, as the descendants of your ancestors, should continue to serve us," the demon proclaimed in a booming voice . "Now, I command you to offer this city in accordance with the terms set out in this contract and serve me!"
