Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 142 Chapter [-] Highway to Hell
In the context of imperial people, "demons" and "devils" are two concepts that are often confused.

Since the empire was formally established 1000 years ago, the demons living in the south of the Haven continent have always played the role of the empire's old enemies: until the Arcane Spire defense line was built, both humans and demons were in endless battles and killings .

In the distance, the army of the demons conquered the empire in the north, slaughtering the city where they passed, and laying dead bodies all over the place;
Recently, "Thunder" Manuel VI, in the famous "Battle of Doomsday", pointed his sword to the south, and vented his revenge and anger to countless civilians in the Demon Realm in the counterattack...

The empire and the federal orcs have been divided and united for hundreds of years, even if wars have ignited like in recent years, it is basically a political decision dictated by interests;

But between humans and demons, there has been a blood feud between generations that has been brewing since ancient times!
Perhaps it was because of the consideration of stigmatizing the old enemy that the imperial people did not refer to the black-haired purple-eyed southern race with a strong affinity for the elements according to the Demon Race's self-proclaimed "Moon Clan", but in the common language of the Empire, The title of "Demon Clan" with a slanderous nature was crowned for it-with the promotion and spread of the common language of the empire, this title has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but it is the original "Moon Clan" name, and gradually no one mentions it up.

However, anyone who has ever understood the mysteries of the planes will clearly realize that the demons who settled in the south of Haven Continent are nothing more than humanoid intelligent creatures like humans, orcs, and elves!

But among the planes, the truly frightening "demon" has something else entirely——

That is all kinds of devils living in the secondary plane "Purgatory Realm"!

In the dictionary of any race in the Haven Continent, "Purgatory Realm" is basically synonymous with "disaster";
Unlike shadow mages who will take the initiative to obtain power from the shadow world, other mages will also try to communicate with the corresponding elemental planes, but basically there will not be any elemental power masters with normal intelligence in the world who will try to communicate with the purgatory plane noodle.

The reason is also very simple: the various races of demons living in the Purgatory Realm are basically all cruel and bloodthirsty evil creatures!
From the evil ghosts who frantically throw fireballs and destroy everything they see in front of them, to the hellhounds with scorching demon fire rising from their bodies, to the demon lords whose strength is comparable to high-level dragons, these creatures from the purgatory world not only have their own unique abilities, The killing in the plane is like raising Gu, and once it enters the main plane, it will cause horrific disasters!
In the history of the mainland, there have been several time and space turbulences, which caused the purgatory world and the main plane to be connected for a short time; and when the tide of purgatory devils flooded into the mainland like students rushing to the cafeteria, this group of evil creatures disappeared in a short period of time. It has caused incalculable damage to Haiwen civilization!

It was also the invasion of purgatory creatures that led to the only few short-lived alliances between humans, beasts, and demons in the history of the mainland. If they can't let go of their past and work together, then all races in the mainland will only be destroyed by the evil and brutal purgatory. The devil gnawed away all the scum, and it was spread among all planes as a typical case of humanitarian disaster!

The power of the devil in the purgatory world can be seen here.

Therefore, when Messi pointed out that the plane pointed to by this "Plane Beacon" was actually the Purgatory Realm, the faces of the lords present and the bandits in Luna Village almost all changed.

There is no way, in the cultural context of the Haven Continent, the devil in the purgatory world is too famous!
The "Plane Beacon" is not just a magical souvenir that records the space-time coordinates of a certain plane, it is the core pathway to communicate between the two planes!

This gold-encrusted gem shining with bloody light can not only be used as a proof to summon purgatory creatures, but in the hands of a powerful enough existence, it can even rely on its own "root" of purgatory to open a link between the main plane and purgatory. Permanent portal!

In other words, if there is a mentally ill mage who really can't think about it, he can use this beacon ball to introduce the "magic tide" composed of purgatory creatures into the mainland, and then turn the fertile land of Wuhua Tianbao into a death hunting place for purgatory demons. field!
Such a dangerous object, for any sane humanoid, the best way to dispose of it is to let it be buried forever and never see the light of day!

The Xiahou official stared at the seemingly harmless Purgatory Beacon Ball on the ground, and realized sadly that this seemed to be the second strategic deterrent weapon he had obtained that he could not easily use besides the corpse tide in the infected area... …

In this different world where local hot wars and peaceful development coexist, and the main theme is idyllic pastoral and construction, what the hell is going on to give Lao Tzu two big killers that can only be used to establish deterrence during the Cold War? !
That is to say, Messi, who led the excavation work, seemed relatively calm in the air:

"Everyone don't need to be nervous, as long as no one tries to use it to communicate with the Purgatory Realm, the Plane Beacon is just a Plane Beacon, and there will be no danger in itself..."

"Then how do we deal with this thing?" Karen stared at the plane beacon on the ground, his voice trembling a little.

"Of course it will be transported back to Shuangfengling, and use its strong magic power fluctuations as bait to catch the dragon out of its nest!" Messi looked at everyone present with disdain, "Please, this is just a magic item, only in In the hands of a high-level magician, it can play the role of communicating with the purgatory world-even if you group of mentally retarded people hit it twice with a hammer and throw it a few times, they will not open a portal out of thin air, and a hellhound will jump out to bite you One bite..."

Although Wraith Messi repeatedly guaranteed safety, the members of Luna Village still took a cautious attitude when dealing with this "secret treasure".

They first wrapped the gold-encrusted gem ball the size of a human head in a soft blanket, then carefully placed it in a wooden box with cotton cushions, and then four people worked together to lift the box to Frost Maple Ridge. on the carriage.

During the whole process, the gentle movements and tense expressions of the bandits in Yueshen Village inevitably reminded Xia Houyan of the old master who could carve tender tofu with his skillful hands in his previous life on Earth.

Now that the "Dragon Fishing Bait" has been unearthed, without delay, the lord is ready to drive back to the Phoenix Terrace with this plane beacon;

It is worth mentioning that since the two cottages have just been pulled out, the current material reserves of Yueshen Village seem to be relatively sufficient, so the Xiahou official, like an old farmer of leeks, unceremoniously waved his hand and pretended to be extra Two large carts of food were transported back to Shuangfengling, just to make up for the losses that Phoenix Terrace suffered in the New Year's raid.

Karen Leperg, the commander of the "Frost Maple Ridge Bandit Suppression Corps", led the lord's convoy all the way to the gate of the village with his little bosses.

"Go back!" Before leaving, Xia Houyan leaned out from the carriage and waved his hand with a smile.

"I wish you a successful dragon hunt." Karen sent the other bandit leaders away, bowed to his master, and said in a low voice.

"Are you telling the truth, or are you talking politely?" The lord asked with a smile.

"If you succeed in hunting dragons, then I will be your slave, and I will be honored;" Karen Leperg bit the word "slave" very hard, with a sneer on her face, "And if you unfortunately die in Dragon, then I'd be free from necromantic restraint—both ways, I think I can live with."

"As a zombie slave who was revived by me," Xia Houyan shook his head and smiled wryly, "You are really straightforward...In that case, let me give you a more straightforward sentence..."

He pondered for a moment, then said with a smirk:
"...To tell you the truth, even if my sister Katerina likes women, you are definitely not her type!"

Before the words were finished, the lord had already left the shamed and angry Karen Le Pague, and drove the carriage to the east with Messi.

A certain noble lady who was mending clothes on the Phoenix Terrace sneezed for the second time in a few days.
