Arcane Lord

You know, at this moment, Shado has taken away all the core authority of the Silver Spire where Paris is located, and even reconstructed the protection system here.

Just how Paris killed the two local high mage councilors before, Shado can kill him now. However, Shado did not rush to take action, but deliberately slowed down the process of the termination ceremony.

It's not that he doesn't want to end the matter here, but Paris is probably the most important demon among the demons he has encountered so far, and he must find a way to get more information about the demons from the other party.

Indeed, Chateau could kill Paris very easily, but the dead Paris was really worthless, and it was even difficult for him to stop the other party from committing suicide.

In this case, he even tried his best to save Paris' life.

Slowing down the process of the ending ceremony is still a tactic, and Paris still takes the bait. In fact, this is a conspiracy. As long as Paris does not completely lose hope, he will always fall into Chateau's rhythm.

This is the benefit of "coming prepared."

But since it is a conspiracy, even if Paris does not understand Sha Duo's thoughts temporarily, he will quickly react as the situation develops, just like before.

Now is no exception.

However, this time Paris seemed to really understand that the ceremony had really failed! So, he actually made a move that was beyond Xia Duo's expectations——

In the secret room, Shado suddenly received a summons. During the summons, Paris was no longer as arrogant as when they met in front of the silver spire. His words revealed a hint of loneliness and final stubbornness:

"I failed, but you didn't win either! Your actions only contributed to the depravity of this timeline!

"Look around us. There are constant disputes among countries. Since the birth of history, wars have never stopped. Even though the Northland Alliance has formed a seemingly win-win cooperation, there are still all kinds of open and covert fights within it.

"Not to mention the chaos outside the North. The countries in the South have feuds with each other and have conflicting ideas. The endless wars have caused them to lose their potential for development.

“Slavery is prevalent in Imasca in the East, and the people are on tenterhooks for fear of becoming slaves accidentally. Behind all these disputes and chaos, there is only one source, and that is the difference in blood and race.

"What a wonderful world it would be if there was a way for all life to truly integrate across races and bloodlines!"

Xia Duo originally thought that Paris was just deceived by the demon, or was accidentally contaminated with demon blood, so he had no choice but to join the demon camp. But judging from the other party's current remarks, this guy seems to have really developed some ideals. ism ideas.

Idealism is a neutral word that does not mean good or bad. It just emphasizes a state, a state of identification with one's firm beliefs.

What Shado fears most is that Paris commits suicide without saying a word, but since the other party has taken the initiative to speak, it is a good time to communicate first, and in the process think about how to control the other party before he commits suicide.

If he could interrogate consciousness, he wouldn't bother to communicate verbally with the other party!

After thinking about it, Xia Duo continued the process of ending the ceremony and sent a message to the other party: "What you want to say is to transform all intelligent creatures into demons, but don't you know that demon blood has various flaws?"

"Are you a human? Are you Lord Shado or Director Doom?" Paris did not answer Shado's question immediately. Instead, he asked about Shado's identity.

Sha Duo was not surprised by this, because the Elvish language contains too rich semantics, and if used like the elves, it would easily reveal too much information about oneself.

Therefore, when he usually communicates with elves, he usually uses standard Elvish, which is standard written language without adding too many non-key features. This is usually the normal practice when aliens use Elvish.

It's just that other people may not be able to imitate well, but Shado has reached his current status and is unwilling to imitate the elf, so he was immediately recognized by Paris as a foreigner, who is actually a human.

Because dwarves also have other characteristics when speaking Elvish, such as misplaced syllables, unstressed sounds, etc.

In response to Paris' inquiry, Chateau directly told the other party his identity. This was not a secret. On the contrary, if the lie was exposed, Paris would probably refuse to communicate or even commit suicide directly.

…

Immediately afterwards, Paris continued to send the message: "It turned out to be Lord Shado. I didn't expect that it was you who stopped me. I think after today, all countries will have a new evaluation of you!"

"I don't care about the evaluations of other countries. I just need to do my own thing."

"That's right! Even in this aspect, we actually have a lot in common!"

Without waiting for Xia Duo to refute, Paris sent another message: "As for the previous question, I know that demon blood is not conducive to reproduction and is not easy to control, but the world is always developing. You only know that it is not possible now, so how can you know the future? Not even?"

This is indeed a good angle. Unless Chateau is willing to admit that the world is static, it will be difficult to refute Paris's remarks.

So Xia Duo chose to open another topic, "I don't need to see what the future will be like, I only know that your statement that the world has fallen because of race and blood is completely wrong!

"It is true that there are different races and bloodlines in this world, and there are many disputes and even crimes caused by different races and bloodlines, but is the root of all this really race and bloodline?"

"What else can it be if it's not race and bloodline?" Paris retorted loudly, "You are a human, have you never felt discrimination from elves? Have you never been dissatisfied because of discrimination from elves?

"If an outstanding human being like you is dissatisfied, what will happen to other human beings? Isn't this the source of disputes?"

Shado immediately responded to Paris's rebuttal, "You are looking at the problem from the perspective of elves. How do you know that humans will be dissatisfied with elves? The human class Titus longs for elven culture!"

This is of course a quibble, but Paris is not a human, and Netheril and Erlan did have a so-called honeymoon period in the past. Even now, there are a large number of humans in Netheril who yearn for elven culture.

This is also difficult for Paris to refute.

So just like Xia Duo changed the topic before, Paris also did the same. Instead of talking about humans, he talked about racial discrimination among elves:

"I'm not a human, and I really don't know much about the human situation, but I am an elf and a demon. I know very well the racial discrimination and even oppression within the elves.

"When there is oppression, there will naturally be resistance. Does Lord Shado also think that some elves should be oppressed by nature?"
