Chapter 505 Good news and bad news
What the southern continent looked like has long been blurred in people's memory.
The human race was driven to the northern continent a long time ago, so long that the southern continent became their legendary homeland.
"You said that the old towns are still there, and there are even a lot of farmers living there..."
After having eaten and drunk their fill, the girls temporarily acted as reporters and clerks, and discussed the situation in the southern continent with the magicians who had agreed to give in.
"We thought there were only demons left there!"
"No, demons only occupy half of them, the majority are still humans."
The magician being interviewed scratched his head in embarrassment.
After careful questioning, everyone finally figured out the basic situation of the Southern Continent.
At the top of the pyramid is not the devil, but the classical wizard who created the devil.
Below those noble mages are the demons who serve as high-level servants.
What happened afterwards was similar to what the human kingdom had guessed.
The demonic threat exploited farmers and slaves, who served as the most basic producers and provided the raw materials needed for the entire society to function.
In short, the southern continent is currently in a slave era of high-pressure rule.
According to the normal course of history, this would be a step backwards in history, but the classical wizards at the top were so powerful that they suppressed all resistance.
"It feels like the devil is in a bad situation, too?"
The demons may seem ferocious, but their status is just that of high-level thugs, and their lives are tightly controlled by magicians.
Li felt that if he were a devil, he would have to find a way to resist.
Thinking of this, Li suddenly remembered the demon that once caused chaos in the royal capital.
Could it be that collaborating with vampires and secretly developing in the royal capital is some kind of effort made by the devil to gain freedom?
"From this perspective, all races are struggling for survival~"
When it comes to conflicts between ethnic groups, they can no longer be judged simply in terms of right or wrong.
Li would naturally not sympathize with these brutal guys just because he felt sorry for the demons.
"Mr. Li, as you speculated, there are indeed some demons that disobey discipline and try to escape the control of the magician."
"Moreover, the opinions of the senior leaders of the Eye of Truth are not unanimous."
With the magician's explanation, the situation in the southern continent became clearer and clearer.
After the top leaders of the Eye of Truth took control of the Southern Continent, strong divisions arose within the organization.
Some people intend to become the king of the southern continent and enjoy wealth and glory, while others are bent on exterminating the human race and are still trying to send demons across the strait.
"The demons that fought the kingdom on the southern coast belong to this faction."
"So the demons that are entangled with the kingdom are just a small group!"
This is good news and bad news at the same time.
On the bright side, the demons won't make any big moves in the short term.
But in the long run, human power can only barely contend with a small group of demons, and it will be over sooner or later!
Lilith, who was also listening, could no longer sit still. She immediately stood up and pretended to say goodbye to everyone.
"This news must be delivered back to the capital as soon as possible, Brother Li. Although I miss your cooking skills, my vacation is over!"
Everyone was looking at Lilith with strange eyes. The cousin who had clung to Li and refused to be separated from him no matter what, was now saying goodbye so proactively.
However, Li knew that Lilith was doing well in the royal capital, and her career was obviously more stable than her unreliable love.
Li came out to see her off in person. He faced Lilith and raised his hand to help her straighten out her messy hair.
"Lilith, you didn't get enough rest when you came back this time, and I didn't spend enough time with you. This is my fault."
"Stop talking, Brother Li. We each have our own things to do, and we are no longer each other's only children."
Lilith held Li's hand, the slightly cold hand conveying Lilith's feelings.
Lee knew that Lilith wasn't tired of being close to him, she just took on other responsibilities.
"Okay, take this so we can get in touch."
Lee pulled out a communicator and handed it to Lilith.
"I saw you were very close to Aunt Amber, so you should be able to use it, right?"
"Hmm~ This thing is very interesting... I'm leaving now, bye~"
Lilith didn't want to make the separation too sad, so after a simple goodbye, Lilith spread her wings and flew straight into the sky.
Li waved to the figure high up and watched Lilith glide towards the royal capital.
"Ah~ If Lilith could spread a pair of feather wings, she would definitely be beautiful."
It’s a pity that Lilith’s bat wings are pitch black and not at all attractive.
Li, who was complaining alone, suddenly felt a little lonely. He felt that his life should not be like this.
"Mr. Li, Miss Lilith has left, and I should go back to the hospital... I hope I didn't disturb you."
Maria felt embarrassed when she saw that Li was sad.
Maria understood why Lilith returned to the capital. After all, she now also had the hospital to take care of.
Whether it is Lilith, Maria herself, or others, they can have a career to strive for, all thanks to Li in front of them.
It seemed that Li personally sent the people around him out one by one and watched them fly high.
Maria chuckled.
"Mr. Li, I always feel like you are a mother hen."
“…You are the first person to say that, Saint Lady!”
Maria noticed that Li was angry and quickly changed the subject.
"Teresa and I came here suddenly this time because I wanted to tell you something. In the hospital, I met many patients with the same symptoms as Ethan."
"Ethan? Is he demonized?!"
Hearing the word "devil", Li quickly dispelled his previous emotions.
"We encountered other people who were transformed into demons in the hospital. Could it be that the people we captured did it?"
"From the perspective of timing and scale, it's unlikely."
"Do you have any other clues?"
Maria shook her head, indicating that this was all she knew.
Maria said goodbye directly, and Theresa left with Maria without saying a word.
Li watched them leave until they were out of sight, then shook his head and returned to the room.
"Have you ever deliberately released demonic potions?"
Speculations aside, Li simply asked directly.
The former Eye of Truth mages who were asked this question all looked at him in confusion.
"We haven't started releasing the demon potion yet."
The people brought by Yodel set up the factory to make money, and the research building they built was for making demonic potions.
It’s a pity that everything was ruined by Li and his men just as it was beginning, and nothing could be done in time.
"It looks like there's another group of people causing trouble here!"
Li handed the surrendered magician to Amber for management. He wanted to go and see for himself who this sneaky guy was!
