If she felt she was carrying some burden, she would probably seal away all beauty and happiness.
When you're burdened by something, you feel like you don't deserve to enjoy it.
"Never mind... I heard you guys are doing quite well in the Demon Realm? Tell your master what happened?" Irene changed her mood and asked with a smile.
"Yes, from the current perspective, [Chaos Demon] has already achieved its initial goal."
Let's start with;
"Let's begin with my becoming a demon lord."
An Yi had even forgotten whether she had said it or not, but it all started with her becoming the Demon Lord.
If he hadn't become the Demon Lord in the first place, those nine Viscount cities and those nine Viscount domains where heroes could grow wildly wouldn't have been so easy to conquer.
If these nine viscount domains hadn't provided fertile ground for the heroes to grow, it wouldn't have been so easy to gather hundreds of hero teams to fight against level thirteen demons and reach their level cap.
Without these hundreds of brave squads, it would have been impossible to attack the Earl's mansion.
An Yi becoming the Demon Lord was like opening a gate to invade the Demon race.
Of course, this doesn't negate the butterfly effect of the previous swift defeat of eight demon viscounts; that was equally important.
However, Irene already knew that part, so let's start from when she became the Demon Lord.
As she listened, Eileen suddenly sighed with emotion;
"In the end, we need the demons themselves to defeat them..." She gave a bitter smile.
An Yi understood this matter very clearly: "Isn't defeating the demons by killing them also a victory achieved by the demons losing their lives?"
Furthermore, we rely on the demons to level up, acquire weapons, and gain knowledge of the demon race.
The fight against the demons has always relied on the demons themselves.
Irene: "Well... that makes sense, but is this the same concept as relying on the Little Demon King?"
"She gave me power; if I don't use it, more heroes will be sacrificed."
Whether you condemn me after defeating the demons, imprison me, or kill me, for now I must use the Little Demon King to make the heroes stronger.
Whether the Little Demon King is the enemy or not, the final hero will definitely be stronger than her, so don't worry.
If she is to be an enemy of humanity, then;
"She's cultivating an opponent she can't defeat," Annie said firmly.
“Yes, I believe you,” Elaine said with a smile. “If only you and I know about this, then aren’t we accomplices?”
If humanity were to condemn you then, I would stand with you.
They want to burn us alive, and then pile our ashes together.
"No, I'm just saying I'll accept their convictions, it doesn't mean I won't resist."
It's just about being at odds with the whole world.
"Humans or demons, if you want to kill me, then try." An Yi said calmly.
"Hehe! I love hearing that!" Irene's eyes gleamed with admiration.
How cool is he? He's just fighting against the whole world!
As a fellow warrior, Irene naturally knew the level of resolve with which An Yi said those words.
Irene knew that he was not just talking big, but had truly made such a commitment!
Regardless of what the future holds, even if he is found to have "colluded" with the Little Demon King and is regarded as an enemy by humanity.
At this moment, he can only focus on one thing—
To vanquish the demon race.
What the future holds, we'll see after we've defeated the demons!
"Anyi, may I hold you?"
"No."
Volume 3: Chapter 643, page 129: An Yi: I've laid it off (4k) ◎∠←≈；∶】
An Yi originally intended to get some rest, but after chatting like this, she didn't need to sleep at all, and they talked until it was almost dinnertime.
“It’s almost time,” An Yi suddenly said. “Soon, Master will be able to join us in defeating the demons.”
Irene was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied, "For me, ten years is a long time no matter what."
In her long life, ten years was but a fleeting moment.
In reality, waiting a year or ten years doesn't seem to make much difference to her; time just passes in the blink of an eye.
Although she was also looking forward to fighting the demons again, so many years had already passed, and there was no rush for another ten or eight years.
Besides, she has other things to do besides fighting now.
That is, making magical items.
"By the way, after bringing those dwarf brats back, there has been some breakthrough progress in the production of magical items."
"Sure enough, this kind of thing is better left to those hammer-wielding idiots..." Elef sighed softly.
She doesn't know how long it would take to produce results if she just buried herself in her research.
With the arrival of the dwarves, significant progress was immediately made in the production of props.
It should be said that it gave Irene a lot of inspiration, making her always exclaim in amazement, "So this is possible?!"
“What’s the situation with those [dwarves] now?” Annie asked.
"What else could it be? The humans just feed them well every day and then find a group of heroes to help them forge iron," Elef replied casually.
It had been some time since the dwarves were brought back, and Ireve knew that the dwarves' greatest value lay in forging weapons and equipment.
Can……
These dwarves don't have hands!
It's not that they have no hands at all, it's just that they lack the ability to forge!
If there were any dwarf with both hands here, the other party could build a workshop with their bare hands.
However, dwarves who have lost their forging abilities due to hand injuries cannot even make their own forging tools.
It's not that dwarfs are old; the older a dwarf is, the more of a master he is.
The fear is that dwarves can't forge iron, and without forging skills, they lose their greatest value.
"Speaking of which, the reason I brought you back this time was also because of their matter," Elef suddenly remembered, "It's said that..."
If we want to forge weapons that heroes can use, the metals that humans can currently obtain are too fragile.
Furthermore, considering the possibility of more intelligent races joining in the future, requiring more and more powerful weapons, we must first capture a region capable of producing high-strength metals.
"What they mean is, they're pretty sure there are still a lot of dwarves in this world who could join in." Annie understood the implication in Irene's words.
Irene didn't directly say that there were still many dwarves in the world who could be saved, but the fact that she asked the hero to take over the mine area meant...
They were quite certain that they would be able to use the mining area after taking it over.
"Yes, if you think about it a little, you'll realize that [dwarves] still have a lot of value to them."
The demons enslaved a large number of dwarves, forcing them to forge weapons and equipment for the demons.
Threatening them with their lives, or simply manipulating their minds, and some cowardly dwarves have already given up resistance, for various reasons now…
There are far more dwarves than elves in the world today.
Despite the fact that elves are a long-lived species with lifespans even longer than dwarves, it seems that apart from Ereph, there are hardly any other elves to be seen now.
Irene didn't continue speaking, but her eyes were filled with a myriad of thoughts.
"What's going on now?" An Yi asked directly.
"Nothing, I just meant that there seem to be more dwarves than surviving elves now."
"The good news is that the dwarves can still join us." Irene forced a smile.
The bad news is that the only person the elf can stand up for is herself.
An Yi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't speak.
What he wanted to say was...
In fact, there were more than one powerful elf like Ireif who survived.
Most importantly, the fairy princess is actually still alive.
The Elf King's only daughter, who inherited the bloodline of the Elf royal family, is an elf capable of using multiple elemental forms. She is currently sealed away in a certain place in the Demon Realm along with the Elf King's sword.
If Ereph knew that the fairy princess was still alive, she would probably cry on the spot, right?
As long as the princess is alive, the royal family will remain.
As long as the royal family exists, the Elf Kingdom has not been completely destroyed!
The Elf Kingdom is not yet destroyed!
But now is not the time to talk about that...
Now that Irene is still alive, how could she not be involved in saving the princess?
Whether it's rescuing the princess or meeting other surviving powerful elves, An'i wants to take Ireif with her.
Because in his previous life, he couldn't take Irene with him.
Every powerful elf who has seen him can recognize the [Wind's Blessing] that Irene has bestowed upon him.
In this life, An Yi no longer needs to meet these elves in place of her master.
Let Master go and meet his comrades who have also been on the run for a thousand years.
Then, they were summoned together again.
Burn your life once more and launch a final resistance against the demons!
Even if it's the elf's last dance, I'd give it my all!
To accomplish all this, An Yi must first become the Demon Grand Duke.
