This might just be Mohe's excuse... Is she hiding something?

"Should I really marry him like this?"

"What's wrong with it?"

Mohe came before Lisidorwei, poked at the position of her heart: "Be loyal to your own heart, Lisidorwei. Since it's for the sake of interests that you plan to be with Doro, then stay true to the meaning you desire—you fear me, so you rely on Doro. Your current hesitation is just because you feel Doro is becoming alien, unlike the one in your heart, fearing he might turn into another version of me, continuing to bring you fear. If you truly want a stable life, want to live without fear..."

She simply said: "Then influence him, as his wife. Before he becomes as bad as I am, make him into someone you can feel secure around."

Mohe could always directly say such words, directly exposing the deepest thoughts within others' hearts, even though such thoughts were disadvantageous to her, she would still speak them out, she seemed to always be in anticipation. How ridiculous is Lisidorwei's resistance to her?

Probably, unless reaching the level of Adeline, Mohe wouldn't take it seriously at all; she might even actively help you devise strategies against herself.

Absolute strength, absolute dominance.

Adeline petrified in this city is the most genuine reflection of the Demon King's power and domination.

"If there's anything, I will report it to you."

"Even if you don't report, I'll keep an eye on you all~"

That's a bit terrifying.

Lisidorwei left Mohe's room.

Mohe watched Lisidorwei's departing figure.

She recalled what Lisidorwei said to her after she resolved the matter with Adeline.

"It's not true love, huh—then what is true love? Hero-sama remains as cruel as always~"

Mohe could only sigh like this.

Actually, leaving Butuo City is not easy since the city's atmosphere is very tense nowadays, the checkpoints are extremely strict, conducting rigorous controls whether entering or leaving—of course, overlapping forces would also create many loopholes.

Upon departure, Mohe finally met the contemporary Pope.

"What's wrong?"

The Earth Dragon Vehicle suddenly stopped, Rastina instinctively asked.

Mohe, who was controlling the Earth Dragon, poked her head in and said: "Don't worry, it's just a checkpoint, they probably want some money, I'll handle it, you just wait in the vehicle. Mr. Doro will come with me, what if they see me being bullied, a delicate lady?"

Doro then got off the compartment and came to the old man with Mohe.

Surrounding the old man were several armored "Guardian Angels."

This is the elite force of the church.

"Old man, you don't have much sincerity, coming to see us with guards, do you think these folks can protect you?"

"Demon King Modoh, speaking of old, your age is the greatest, saying I'm youthful before you is a compliment, so why take offense at my rudeness?"

Mohe laughed: "You old thing, perhaps should learn the manners of nobles towards ladies, speaking like this is extremely disrespectful."

The Pope said little in response.

Doro looked at this elderly before him: "The transaction between us should be completed, do you have anything else to do? If you don't want to let us go, we also have our countermeasures."

"In this world, no one can stop a Hero intending to leave and a Demon King who has regained the ability to advance. At the very least, I don't possess that power. Today, I am only here to see the two of you."

"So? You've seen us already. What are your intentions?"

The Pope nodded, stretched out his hand, and the Guardian Angels handed him some scrolls.

He then passed those scrolls to Mohe.

"These are some recent intelligence—they are my greeting gift to both of you."

Mohe glanced at the intelligence and casually handed it to Doro: "Hey~ should I thank you? Pope, what do you want me to do, what do you think I would do with such intelligence?"

"What you would do, I'm just a mere mortal, I cannot know. I simply faithfully execute the will of God, this is God's intention."

Mentioning God slightly changed Mohe's expression. But she quickly returned to her previous demeanor: "Is that so? Then, I really should thank God, besides that, is there anything else?"

The Pope shook his head.

He and the Guardian Angels stood to the side of the road, freeing up the passage.

"Go."

Mohe returned to the Earth Dragon, driving it directly out of the city. Not giving the Pope another glance.

As they gradually distanced themselves from Butuo City, the world began to turn white. The roads covered with ice and snow appeared difficult to traverse, but fortunately, the Earth Dragon's performance was superior, not easily hindered by snowy terrain, albeit the actual speed of progress was slower.

Fortunately, the group didn't seem to be affected by the weather.

They even engaged in snowball fights for fun when camping at night.

Thus, when they returned to Baixi Town, winter was almost at its end, the weather having grown colder—yet signaling the arrival of spring, as it's said it's not cold when it snows, but cold when it melts.

Furthermore, it occasionally still snowed.

Before the mansion, they saw a snowman.

Calling it a snowman wasn't quite accurate, there was a person sitting cross-legged before the mansion, snowflakes falling onto her body, nearly covering her entirely.

Mohe and Doro naturally knew who this person was.

Sword Saint Ah Xion.

In the intelligence provided by the Pope, it described how Ah Xion mercilessly betrayed the Human Central Empire when an accident occurred in Butuo City, rushing into the kingdom's treasury—even if the church had not taken the Demon King's left foot beforehand, perhaps this Sword Saint would personally have retrieved the Demon King's left foot.

Of course, the deal with the church is a secret of the Central Empire, Sword Saint Ah Xion is merely a Sword Saint, unaware of this point is normal. Despite her goal not being achieved, she still involved the Human Central Empire considerably, making the empire appear powerless regarding the incidents in Butuo City, not even sending a competent person to manage it.

After all, Ah Xion acted against the king.

In great peril, who could calmly handle such matters?

Obviously impossible.

In that intelligence, there was also information about the Snow Elf launching a surprise attack on human cities, issuing a rally cry against the Human Central Empire—Doro finally realized what kind of opportunity arose in Butuo City.

He also finally clearly recognized, the war had begun. While the tangible war was still being endured, the intangible warfare was already underway, a world stable for over a decade was finally about to plunge into turmoil once more.

And this turmoil, if it has to be said to relate to the Demon King, there might be some connections, yet, Doro knows better than anyone, that's just an excuse to shirk responsibility. Ultimately, this Demon King, so far, has truly only—retrieved her body parts.

She even saved Butuo City.

Thus, this war has nothing to do with Mohe, it is a war that humans and various big races would inevitably erupt into once the Demon King, such an enemy, vanishes. A conflict and struggle that would inevitably arise between races.

The snowman opened its eyes.

Snowflakes fluttered down.
