As the space changed, Person's ears heard bursts of noise that could only be found in downtown areas, 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 controlled. .

Hermes' portal seemed to be built in a public area in the downtown area. Listening carefully to the sounds, Person not only heard the sounds of vendors selling goods, the sounds of children playing, but also the unfamiliar languages ​​of foreign races.

Just when Person was confused, Yin Siloda 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 responsible for outreach in the local community and is also a member of the Hermes family. He will take us to visit the local community later."

Yin Siloda had already communicated with Person before coming. The so-called local community is actually the demon community, but it is not convenient to mention the word demon directly in public.

Person nodded and saluted Elder Pardin again. Elder Patin didn't say much, he just looked at Person for a moment, nodded, and then turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, Yin Siloda gave Person a gentle push and reminded: "Follow me!"

"Um."

…

Soon Person and his party officially entered the city of Hermes. One side of the bustling street coming out of the portal was full of small shops facing the street, and the other side was a landscape garden with neatly trimmed trees that presented a graceful appearance.

Pedestrians were constantly coming and going on the street, and children were playing in the garden on the other side. Seeing this scene, Person, who originally didn't understand why the teleportation gate was built in the downtown area, became calmer.

This kind of life reminded him of when he was a child. The small town he lived in at that time was also so lively but extremely peaceful. Unfortunately, the city where he was born and raised has been destroyed by war, and later became the Kingdom of Elam. part.

Perhaps he will never 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 as to why Yinsloda chose Hermes as the first stop of his visit. When Elder Patin stopped to buy something on the way, Person also bought a few. A toy full of childhood memories.

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

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

"That's the one that just passed by?"

Yin Siloda's expression was calm. He had obviously known about this for a long time, but Person was not so calm in his heart. He originally thought that no matter how the demon community was built in the city, after all, it was an existence being hunted by all the countries in the North. There will be something special.

It’s not just the difference in concealment and protection measures, but also the difference in mentality.

But what did he see? It was no different from the ordinary elf community. The concealment and protection measures may have prevented him from discovering it because of his more sophisticated skills. After all, he himself was just an ordinary elite mage.

But the mentality of the demon residents was so peaceful, which puzzled him. 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 Hermes' first question: "Are those community residents performing?"

This was a very reasonable suspicion, but his words could also be understood as an insult to the local community. Yin Sloda quickly apologized to Elder Patin.

At this time, Person also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly made up for it: "It is really that the local community life is so rich, I can't believe it."

Elder Patin frowned, but did not explain too much. He just said: "You can stay here and live for a while to see if they are performing."

"Of course they are not performing. What kind of performance can make an entire community cooperate so well? Only the most real life can have such a 'tacit understanding'!"

Yin Siloda's words brought an end to this not-so-good conversation. Person had no objection to this. Looking back on the experience just now, he didn't think he was worthy of being treated as a performer by an entire community. It was indeed He thought wrong.

After accepting the fact that the demon community was just there, Person's understanding of the demon community changed again. As he said, the life here is so rich that it really doesn't look like a group that is being constantly hunted. of settlements.

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

…

During the subsequent visit, Elder Patin became more talkative, and Person also learned more about this demon community.

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

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

And due to the instability of demonic power, demon children will often seal the power of their blood before their minds mature. They will gradually unlock it after their minds mature and try to control this powerful force.

As a result, settlements were formed one after another, but there are still very few settlements built directly in the city like Hermes. At least, Person currently only knows of this one.

…

Person stayed in Hermes for a total of two days. During this period, he also met two new demon friends. However, when the two new friends did not show their power, he could not tell whether they were demons at all.

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

After leaving Hermes, Person and Insloda returned to Evereska from Tevimansa via transit, and then re-entered Yeerland after changing their appearance.

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

While on the road, Yin Siloda did not forget to instill his own ideas into Person: "Having demon blood does not mean you are born evil. There is no distinction between good and evil in power, only the user's own will.

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

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