Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

"You can say that."

"No....The hero and the demon king cooperate? Is this a new story? I haven't heard of it. What is your purpose? What do you want from me?"

"Nothing... You won't believe me if I say that." Frank sat on the wooden fence beside the village road, looking at the farm not far away, showing a nostalgic expression:

"If I don't meet you now, then we will meet in fifteen years... At that time, I will really set out and become one of the many heroes."

"What about me?"

"Originally, you made a sensational event in the world, and I planned to attack you."

"Me?? What? Did you succeed?"

"I was convinced by you."

"Huh??"

Why did I, as a demon, do a sensational event, but this hero who wanted to save the world was convinced by me in turn? Is my mouth cannon so powerful? ——Ash was confused by him again, and always felt that the other party was deceiving him.

After all, from the first meeting to now... Frank obviously took the initiative in the topic.

The Buried Flyllian·Thousand Years to the Present: Chapter 33 The Tragic Cycle·Come with Me!

Frank saw Ash's confused expression and couldn't help laughing:

"Haha! I expected you to have such an expression, but... I didn't lie to you, because you are really right."

"... Stop telling riddles, can't we get practical?" Ash felt that his patience was almost worn out by this guy.

At this time, the other party calmed down again and narrated slowly:

"This matter is a bit long. First of all... When you were a general of humans, what you hated most was treating children as cannon fodder and forcibly recruiting them into the battlefield, so there was no child in your army, right?"

"What's wrong with that? Is it not okay?"

"Actually, I hate this behavior too."

"After all, you are a hero, so I can understand."

"But I am just a hero."

"What do you mean?"

"So I can't change this situation." Frank had just laughed, but now his hands were unconsciously clenched , his words also revealed a helpless sadness:

"Even if the Demon King is defeated, or even all the demons are eliminated, this situation will never change. As long as humans exist, human countries will adopt this mode to fight wars... At least in the future I see, this will not change at all."

"It is better to say that after the threat is lost, the internal struggle of humans will only become more tragic, right?"

"That's right, your judgment is very accurate."

"...Need I say more? You can figure out this kind of thing just by thinking about it."

In fact, compared with the humans he knew before, the humans in this world are more cruel.

At least in the ancient times he knew...there was no period in which the vast majority of countries on the planet would tacitly adopt the tactic of sending their own children to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

But in this world, let alone the southern countries without the threat of demons, even the northern countries that directly face the threat of demons will simply arm a large number of children and send them to the battlefield in the internal wars that are carried out from time to time, serving as cannon fodder and tools of psychological warfare, and even...very common, or their limited tactics against humans.

This made him wonder, are the humans in this world really the same as the humans he knew before?

Why would their top leaders collectively take such inefficient, stupid and unscrupulous actions? Don't they know that children are the potential of the future? Or do they simply not care? Or do the nobles and kings here have no foresight and no bottom line? Is it a kind of involution?

However, he certainly can't control the traditions of the countries in the world. Discussing the evil deeds of countries around the world on the village road makes him feel like he has returned to the modern era and talked about the world situation next to the barbecue stall. It's... very strange.

.......................

The scope of the discussion suddenly expanded to the world, making Ash's expression a little subtle.

But Frank seemed inexplicably serious. While he was thinking about whether he should end this topic and get straight to the point, he continued:

"The war between humans will not be quelled because of the defeat of the demons. It will only intensify and will not be temporarily quelled until a unified country emerges."

"Haa..." He said with a hint of fatigue: "The hero cannot swing the blade against his own kind? After all, he is just a hero, not a king, so you can't change these... Is this what you want to say?"

"Yes, I can't change these. Even if it happens in front of me, it is difficult for me to stop these. That is not the world I expect... But I am just a hero, but - you are different."

At the end of this speech, Frank finally said his real purpose, which is... I hope Ash can become a restraining force for the countries.

Use violence to deter and prohibit countries from persecuting children.

If possible, gather the demons and the northern countries, and then gradually rule the world, become the co-lord of humans and demons, let the world truly return to peace, and truly - break the cycle of tragedy.

Yes, the cycle of tragedy.

I don’t know if this world is the goddess’ game. Every once in a while, a new demon king will appear to bring the crisis of world destruction to mankind, and let new heroes save the world again and again.

The holy sword given by the goddess can sometimes be pulled out by someone, and sometimes no one pulls it out, but the result will never change.

There will always be a crisis of world destruction, and there will always be someone to save the world, but there will always be the next world destruction and salvation, as if there are invisible rules constraining both sides, and no one can kill the other, but every once in a while, both sides will also massacre each other.

The reason why he didn’t choose humans is because... Frank has no choice at all.

He is a hero, and he can’t swing the butcher knife against humans.

Not only is his identity constrained, his own morality does not allow him to do so, so he can’t help humans become kings, and human countries will not give heroes rights either.

At least in this world, heroes have no rights. At most, they can provide a little financial help and convenience in action, but human laws will bind them tightly.

In his opinion, Ash is a very special demon, with a life close to eternity, without the constraints of laws and morals, but with morals that most nobles do not have.

This made him sure that he should stop this atrocity and eliminate it from the world no matter what after witnessing the war of the children's army in the future.

After hearing his words, Ash didn't know what to say, and always felt that the scope seemed to be too large:

"... Even if you say that, how are you going to help me? Are you going to become a hero? And you don't plan to become a criminal of humans, right?"

"That's right, so I can't help you in this regard, but I can train you in the most suitable way for you."

"But I..."

"I know that your knowledge reserve as a magician is sufficient, and you have a very powerful magic teacher, but you are still somewhat lacking as a warrior."

"... Do you even know this?" At this moment, Ash was no longer shocked, but a little numb.

"At the same time, I can see the future, which means I can tell you all the experiences that you have spent a lot of time summarizing in the future, as well as the shortcuts that you have not discovered yet... Although I also want to teach you to see through the future, it is not possible to teach you just because I want to, otherwise the demons and humans will all be able to see the future, but it is still possible for you to become the strongest magician and warrior in the world."

"... Can you even do something of this degree?"

"Of course, this... As the strongest southern hero of mankind in the future, I can make a promise with you - come with me, my friend!"

At the end of these confident words, Frank suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand to him with a heroic spirit far beyond his age.

However, he stared at the hand, tilted his head slightly and fell into trouble, always feeling that the gap between this situation and development and his imagination was too big, right? ?

The Buried Flyllian·Thousand Years Until Now: Chapter 34 Apprenticeship to the Southern Hero·Visitor of the Demon Clan

Facing Frank, who looked young but quite mature, Ash stared at his hand for a long time before he resisted the desire to complain in his heart.

Although what the other party said was very suspenseful, a little beyond his current cognition, and even a little suspicious.

But his intuition told him that this person was not the villain who would use conspiracy and trickery as he imagined.

This made him entangled again and again, but he still held the hand that was extended to him with the mood of admitting that he would be fooled.

This made Frank suddenly show a heroic smile, and he pulled him up from the wooden fence:

"Then now, come home with me."

"Go home? Is your home nearby?"

"No, my home is in the capital."

It was because he saw the future and knew that Ash would appear here that he came here on purpose.

But his words still made Ash feel weird. After all, how could a decent person suddenly ask someone to go to his house just after shaking hands?

Although he felt that the other party should be a positive character, but-it was still weird!

However, it was difficult for him to refuse the conditions provided by the other party, so he hesitated again and again and chose to go and see, anyway, just eat and drink first, and see what Frank could teach him by the way.

...........................

The capital, suburbs

There are only two middle-aged maids in the unexpectedly large but inexplicably simple house.

Frank seems to be a wealthy businessman who started from scratch at the age of fifteen, and his parents died on the battlefield when he was an adult.

But relying on the magic of predicting the future, he directly lived a life that Ash envied, but the reality was a little different...

Although Frank had a lover, for some reason he chose to break up early, and he just kept training himself every day.

And Ash also became Frank's apprentice to learn swordsmanship in the blink of an eye, and settled down in the suburbs of the capital.

Repeating the grinding day after day, from the dawn to the sunset, from the spring to the cold winter, the four seasons change, the cold and the hot, this persistence has never wavered.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, thirteen years have passed quietly.

For the demons, thirteen years are just a snap of the fingers, but Ash's progress is unprecedented.

But there is a problem... Because the internal structure of the demons is different from that of humans, they will turn into magic particles and disappear after death.

Therefore, although he is still humanoid, his strength seems to have reached the upper limit of his body, so if he wants to fight with all his strength, his body will change.

Two devil-like horns will grow on his forehead, and his body size will increase in proportion, becoming a burly man who is still over two meters tall without the horns. At the same time, he has strength, agility, magic recovery speed, and control ability. will be greatly improved.

Of course, that is also a complete demonic state,

Another thing worth mentioning is that the human form will not change in any way, and the appearance will not change in any way from the past.

But this is for him, thirteen years is different for humans... Frank, who was once a young man, has become an uncle in the blink of an eye. Although he still looks high-spirited, but...

"It's really unfair. I became an uncle in the blink of an eye, but you are still exactly the same as before." Looking at Ash, who still looked like the boy he was before, Frank couldn't help but sigh while stroking his beard.

"....But humans progress very quickly, while demons progress very slowly."

"But you are not progressing at the same speed as the demons. If the demons were like you, humanity would have been doomed long ago." Frank sighed and handed him a document with a hint of envy and regret.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a document for the transfer of property, but more accurately, it should be regarded as a suicide note for the distribution of property.

"Uh...what is this? Tell me my name?"

"If I die, this house will be given to you, and the other properties will be donated to those in need."

"...What if?" It feels weird to say what if from a person who can see the future.

But Frank did not explain. Instead, he packed his bags and said without looking back: "It's almost time for me to set off... At this time in three years, let's meet up in the middle of the continent, Lani. Have you heard of the Fortress?”

"...What are you talking about all of a sudden? But I have been to Lanier Village before."

"That's it. Is there Ranilson Lin over there?"

"It seems so?"

"It seems that after the changes of time, it has changed from a village to a fortress..." Frank sighed for a moment, then continued: "When you go to the forest there, you will see a surprise."

"Seeing uncle is not a surprise."

"Haha~ Of course it's not me, but... Well, you knew it then. Now let's control your demonic state. Since you can change your form, your control has begun to decline. Even if you can't see it, I can tell you are a demon in the future."

"There is no way." He spread his hands in frustration: "I also want to suppress it, but since I was demonized once, the aura of the demon clan is much stronger than before."

"Just take your time." Frank didn't say much, but said with a mysterious smile: "Someone will come over tomorrow, and you can accept his opinion, because... we have already 'discussed' it. "
