Arcane Lord

As the space changed, there were bursts of noise that could only be found in the downtown area, which surprised him. Generally speaking, although the portal does not necessarily build a downtown area, there will be a considerable area around it that is under control. .

The portal of Hermis seems to be built in a public area in the downtown area. Listening carefully, Person not only heard the voices of vendors selling goods, the voices of children playing and playing, but also the strange language of foreign races.

Just when Person was confused, Isroda had already connected with a strange golden elf on the street outside the portal. They exchanged a few words, and then called Person out.

"This is Elder Patin who is in charge of outreach in the local community and a member of the Hermis family. He will show us around the local community later."

Before coming here, Isroda had already communicated with Person. The so-called local community is actually the demonic community, but it is not convenient to directly mention the word demonic in public.

Person nodded, and saluted Elder Patin again. Elder Patin didn't say much, but just looked at Person for a while, then nodded, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Isroda gave Person a slight push and reminded: "Follow!"

"Ok."

…

Soon Person and his party officially entered the city of Hermis. The bustling street from the portal is full of small shops facing the street on one side, and a landscape garden with trees that have been neatly corrected to present a beautiful posture on the other side.

Pedestrians are constantly coming and going on the street, and children are playing in the garden on the other side. Seeing this scene, Posen, who originally did not understand why the portal was built in the downtown area, became calmer.

This kind of life reminded him of when he was young, the small town he lived in was also so lively but extremely peaceful, but it was a pity that the city where he was born and raised had been destroyed by war, and later became the capital of the Kingdom of Elam. part.

Perhaps he will not be able to see the original appearance of his hometown again in his lifetime.

While sighing in his heart, Person also had his own guess about why Isroda chose Hermis as the first stop of his visit. When Elder Patin stopped to buy things on the road, Person also bought a few A toy full of childhood memories.

Just walking around like this, it took Person and his party several times longer than normal to get out of the block. Just when Person was curious about how far away the demon community was, Elder Patin suddenly stopped. step.

"Actually, what we just passed is the purpose of this trip."

"The one that just passed by?"

Isroda's expression was calm, obviously he knew about this a long time ago, but Person's heart was not so calm. He thought that no matter how the demon community was built in the city, after all, it was an existence that was hunted down by the countries in the Northland, and there would always be Something special.

Not only are there differences in concealment and protection measures, but there are also differences in mentality.

But what did he see? It was no different from the ordinary elf community. Perhaps because of his more subtle skills in concealment and protection measures, he couldn't find it. After all, he himself was just an ordinary elite mage.

But the mentality of the demon-born residents is so peaceful, which makes him very puzzled. If it were him, knowing that the whole world was chasing him, he would never be able to enjoy life so relaxedly.

So, he couldn't help asking Hermis' first question: "Are those—are the community residents performing?"

This is a very reasonable suspicion, but his words can also be understood as an insult to the local community, and Isroda hastily apologized to Elder Patin.

At this time, Person also knew that he had made a mistake, and quickly made up for it: "It is really hard to believe that the local community life is so strong."

Elder Patin frowned, but he didn't explain too much. He just said, "You can stay here for a while and see if they are performing."

"Of course they are not performing. What kind of performance can make the whole community cooperate so tacitly? Only the most real life can be so 'tacitly compatible'!"

Isroda's words were considered to be the end of this not-so-good conversation. Person had no objection to this. Recalling the experience just now, he didn't think he deserved to be treated by the whole community. He thought badly.

And after accepting the fact that it was the demonic community just now, Person's perception of the demonic community has changed again. As he said, the atmosphere of life here is so strong that it really doesn't look like a group that is constantly being hunted down. settlements.

And this also reflects another fact, that is-the demons are not fundamentally different from normal elves, and the two sides can coexist peacefully.

…

During the subsequent visits, Elder Patin's words became a little more, and Person also learned more about this demon community through this.

For example, although the residents here are all demon descendants, most of their demon descendant blood is inherited from their parents and grandparents, rather than acquired.

Most of the demon descendants of the first generation are skilled spellcasters, and they do not lack the means to control bloodlines, but their descendants may not be able to control bloodlines, so they need someone to help cover them up.

And because of the instability of the demon power, most of the demon children will seal the blood power before their minds mature, and they will gradually untie it until their minds mature, and try to control this powerful power.

As a result, settlements were formed one by one, but there are still very, very few settlements built directly in the city like Hermis, at least Personn only knows of such a one.

…

Person stayed in Hermis for a total of two days. During this period, he also met two new friends of the demons, but when the two new friends didn't show their strength, he couldn't tell whether they were demons or not.

Just like those friends who grew up with him, they are all the most normal elves!

After leaving Hermis, Person and Isloda returned to Evereska from Taivimansa through a transfer, and then re-entered Yerland after changing their appearance.

"This time, we are going to a temporary stronghold in the secret hall. Some new friends will perform transformation rituals there. Then you will see with your own eyes the power of the demons."

On the road, Isroda did not forget to instill his own ideas in Person: "Possessing the blood of a demon does not mean that one is inherently evil. There is no distinction between good and evil in power, only the will of the user.

"I also participated in the Drow War four years ago, and I personally went deep into the Underdark to kill demons. We have the blood of demons, but that doesn't mean we are demons.

"We are still elves, but we have mastered a more powerful demon power. We can understand the concerns of the outside world, but if it turns into targeting and persecution, it is completely unnecessary."
