Related to elves.

When Doro returned from the Thunder Emperor, the only information he got was this.

The Thunder Emperor clearly didn't want to reveal more to Doro.

Doro was very aware that Snow Elves and Elves didn't get along well. But specifically, what's the situation?

Speaking of which... it seems Mohe...

Seems Mohe sent someone to the Elf Kingdom?

When Rastina set out, she didn't hide her tracks; she departed openly.

But if that's the case, it seems Mohe already knows some important secret, which is why he sent Rastina to the Elf Kingdom? Then as Rastina's guard, shouldn't Rose...

It's a bit strange, like something's not quite right.

Should I take a trip to the Elf Race?

But even if I can make the round trip in a day, will I definitely get the answers I want in the Elf Kingdom? In what form should I ask? In what manner should I seek answers?

Back in the day, everyone was allied to fight the Demon King together.

When he returned to his room, the sky was already getting light. The dazzling and brilliant stars from last night were no longer visible.

Mohe was leaning against the door of his house, she smiled at Doro: "Mr. Doro, you seemed to not be in your room last night, where did you go?"

"Went to meet the Thunder Emperor."

"Wow, that's terrible~ Are you intending to collude with the enemy?"

"I didn't originally have a stance of enemy or not, right?" Doro wasn't sure when Mohe discovered he wasn't there, maybe she came looking for him later in the night, "Why are you waiting at my door?"

Mohe answered as a matter of course: "Of course, to wake you up for breakfast. Previously, it was Rose who took care of this task, right? Ideally, you should wake me up... well, if I open my eyes in the morning and see your face, I think I might be scared, so it's better that I wake you up. Elf must prepare for the war that might still happen today, so she got up early. We should get up too."

"If others are fighting, and you're sleeping in, it's not quite right, is it?"

Surprisingly, it's like a human comment.

Does Mohe truly feel something about what's "not quite right"?

Or is it just an excuse?

"Then let's go eat."

"Alright."

At the dining table of the Ice and Snow Kingdom's former royal family, only four people were having meals, without any attendants around.

"Elf, are you only eating this little?"

"I don't have much appetite, the matter of the war really unsettles me, if the Thunder Emperor reorganizes an attack today, it would be very difficult to resist. I might — contact Adriana."

When she mentioned this name, she glanced at Doro.

Doro shook his head: "You don't have to consider my thoughts, since you are allied with Adriana, then contact her as needed. The matters between me and Adriana will not affect the matters between us. I won't equate the two of you."

Elf breathed a sigh of relief, then took out something that looked like a gem.

The gem refracted a shimmering light.

"Adriana."

After a while, Adriana's voice came from the gem: "What's up?"

Doro hadn't heard Adriana's voice for a long time, upon hearing it, he couldn't help but recall past times, with Adeline and Charlette perhaps he hadn't observed each other like this before.

Even though now, probably due to the vast distance, he could remain calm, after all, anger was meaningless.

"Yesterday, with Ah Xion's help, we blocked the Thunder Emperor's attack. At this rate, I can hold out for at most two more days. What trump cards do you have? Hurry up and bring them out!"

Then there was a long silence from that side.

"Adriana?"

Elf asked again.

"Didn't Gedora come?"

Adriana's voice came through from the other side: "Even if he didn't come, since Ah Xion has already arrived, it proves the Demon King intends to intervene in this matter. With her power, you can't confront the Central Empire's army? If it's just the Thunder Emperor, it should be easy to resolve, right?"

Elf slammed the table then: "You mean, from the beginning, your support was only to this extent, and the rest you plan for me to shamelessly ask the Demon King for?"

"It's also possible to find Gedora, I think he would probably come. Anyway, if pushed to the brink, he will inevitably take action, isn't this a good thing for you? You want to see him, don't you?" Adriana's voice remained calm throughout, more like stating a fact than asking a question, "This is beneficial for you. I hope that the next time you contact me, you will tell me news that you have already defeated the army of the Human Central Empire."

The brilliance of the jewel disappeared.

Clearly, Adriana had cut off the link with the jewel on her end.

Elf looked at the three people present.

"I'll be excusing myself for a moment."

Elf hurriedly left.

Ah Xion nibbled at the food while Mohe looked at Doro: "What do you think?"

"Speaking of acting skills, Elf is indeed not suited for this sort of thing; a bit too stiff."

"The fact that you can notice this is already quite an improvement; in the past, you wouldn't have been able to tell at all. I think this is something worth celebrating."

Is she mocking herself?

Is she still in a bad mood?

Doro didn't quite understand, but there were still matters that needed discussion: "It is rather strange that she specifically contacted Adriana in front of us, and Thunder Emperor was originally a member of the Mage Union. It's hard for me to say whether there is collusion between him and Adriana. Perhaps this is also an embodiment of Adriana's will."

"Hmm, so, Mr. Doro, what conclusion can you draw from this?"

Doro glanced at Mohe: "Elf knows Adriana's real goal; she wants me to find her myself, to let her inform Adriana that I have arrived, in order for Adriana to start her plan."

"Allah? You actually think this way... Doesn't this mean you've been betrayed by Miss Elf again? Knowing full well that Miss Adriana intends to kill you, yet you still want to cooperate with her plan, Mr. Doro, you truly are a pitiful person."

Mohe displayed a sympathetic expression.

"The premise is, you didn't deceive me, Mohe. The premise is, what you said about Adriana is true. But I don't have solid evidence to prove it. Don't you think this is terrible?"

Hearing Doro's words, Mohe seemed to hear something incredible... She laughed.

From yesterday, it seemed the Demon King, who was in a bad mood, suddenly looked much happier.

"Hmm~ My dear Hero, the scent you're emitting now is delightful~ Let me think, such a familiar yet daunting scent—just like when you challenged me back then, initially describable as weak, yet continuously growing stronger, stronger still, finally standing in the same field as me and ultimately defeating me... You're emitting this wonderful scent now."

She was excited.

Doro could confirm this; the Demon King named Mohe was excited because of his inquiry.

She truly was peculiar, normally there wouldn't be a reason to get excited in such a situation, yet she just suddenly cheered up.

Mohe's smile was unabashed: "Questioning me, worrying about me, respecting me, fearing me, despising me... Mr. Doro, you are indeed an interesting person."

"Since Miss Elf hinted so clearly, why don't you just do it directly? Like I said, no matter what happens, you or I have the capacity to resist everything. Why not watch everyone's ugly struggles? I guarantee you'll fall in love with such a show, after all, you now understand me quite well."

Once again, she repeated the words from yesterday, watching the ugly struggles of the weak, ultimately helpless visage.

Perhaps these words couldn't be trusted; maybe Adriana indeed had a means to kill them... But—

Ah, indeed it was as the Demon King said.

He didn't know of any means that could kill him.

He didn't think anyone in this world was stronger than him, and if there were such means, he really wanted to see them for himself.

Therefore...

"I will do so. However, I want to know, what does this matter have to do with the Elf Race?"

"Over there in the Elf Race is my liver, which symbolizes magic."

Yesterday, Mohe would not have answered Doro's question, but today... it's not impossible: "For the extraordinarily talented elves, my liver is quite tempting, isn't it? Actually, I'm increasingly feeling like a Demon King's meal is quite a nice thing~ After all, everyone wants to nibble my body clean—if they could absorb my liver, perhaps it would mean a qualitative change for the entire Elf Race, and henceforth rivaling the Human Central Empire wouldn't be impossible. But absorbing my liver is not easy, you've seen Lisidorwei's tragic attempt when researching my left hand."

Certainly, the Demon King's possessions are not easy to touch.

So far, perhaps Adeline is considered more successful, but Adeline was personally defeated by Mohe.

"If watered with Snow Elf blood, perhaps it could empower their mother tree, then forcibly explore the secrets of my liver. What do you think of this idea?"

So, do the Elf Race and Humans have some kind of trade?

But it doesn't make sense at all—if I were the Wise King, I certainly wouldn't make this kind of deal with the Elf Race. Destroying the Snow Elves brings no benefit to humans, and if the Elf Race acquired the Demon King's liver, the overall enhancement would be a disaster for the Human Central Empire, unless...

"Unless, the Wise King has a way to seize the fruit."

"Oh my heavens! Who are you! You are definitely not the Mr. Doro I know! Quickly let the real Mr. Doro out!" Mohe exclaimed.

She was truly incorrigible!
