And what Xia Duo said about being able to persuade some demon mages to give up the power of the abyss was of course not just talking nonsense, but when the alliance conducted a comprehensive inspection of the demons before, they had done research on the demons' views on their own bloodline.

A considerable number of demonic mages who have controlled their bloodlines through mana magic still say that they would rather lose their power than have their current bloodline.

The reason is not difficult to guess. On the one hand, even though the demon descendants have now obtained legal status recognized by the alliance, the prejudice will not be eliminated instantly. This is why many demon descendants still do not appear in public places.

Eliminating the demon bloodline will objectively help the demons integrate into the current Northland.

On the other hand, it is more about the fact that even if you master the bloodline, it is still difficult to give birth to your own children. The demon bloodline is extremely chaotic.

Even if there are two demon couples with exactly the same blood, and they both control their own blood, they still cannot give birth to their own children normally, and they still need to try their luck, but their luck will be better than other demon couples. That's all.

The tradition of elves is to value family. They value family even more than the country they live in. The demons in the past did not form a new racial culture. They were hidden in the elf society, and their ideas were not much different from ordinary elves.

The biggest wish of many demons in their lives is to have their own children. This wish is easy for ordinary elves, but for demons, it is undoubtedly a luxury wish.

But now, if they are given the opportunity to remove the demon blood, many demons will not care about the power and longevity brought by the demon blood for the sake of their children.

Although the elves are objectively very long-lived, their concept of life and death is completely different from that of short-lived humans. They have a real afterlife and a new life after death.

At this point, it is the short-lived human beings who pay more attention to this world.

It is true that there are some elven mages who transform themselves into demons because they want to live longer, but after all, these are still a minority and only exist among a few high-ranking people.

According to the alliance's investigation, many demon mages became demons because they were "forced to death", either because they were accidentally infected with the power of the abyss and were unable to purify themselves, or because they were coerced by the Illuminati in the name of their families.

In this case, they also had to accept the transformation ritual of the Illuminati. In the past, demons were always shouted at by everyone in the North, and (elves) countries have never stopped attacking demons.

Once transformed into a demon, the only way left is to work wholeheartedly for the Illuminati. The possibility of exposing the Illuminati through surrender is basically non-existent.

Not to mention, the Illuminati controls the demons through its subordinate secret hall organization. First of all, there is a layer of separation. Even if the demon mages want to surrender and report, they cannot report the Illuminati.

Furthermore, most of the core members of the Illuminati hold high positions in the North. For example, the Moon Shadow family, as a high-ranking family, also has seats and actual power in the Ellan Gaoshu Council of Elders.

There are also independent existences like Daphne, who also have energy that is unimaginable to ordinary elf mages.

If you report someone so unprepared, who knows if the spirit who finally accepted the report is a hidden member of the Illuminati? Isn't this a typical example of "who is this person in the hall and why are you suing me?"

It is precisely because many demon descendants were forced to transform into demon descendants, and after the efforts of all parties, the alliance finally recognized the legal status of demon descendants in the North.

If this were not the case, even Xia Duo would not have much sympathy for the demon descendants. He did sympathize with the demon descendants who were victims of being infected by the abyss in ancient wars, but those demon descendants had basically nothing to do with the current demon descendants.

Even if there is a relationship, can the grievances suffered by our ancestors become a reason for future generations to become anti-social?

In fact, the demons recognized by the Alliance as having legal status do not include those with too many blood debts on their hands. Only those demons who have participated in the Illuminati's actions lightly and have no blood debts can receive pardon and subsequent legal status.

No matter how tolerant the alliance is, it is impossible to accept those demons with innocent blood on their hands to join the alliance. This is not only the bottom line of the alliance, but also the bottom line of Sha Duo.

…

Regarding the purification plan, Divine Envoy Rich had already prepared a draft. He told Sha Duo: "I have two plans. One is to have my Lord's priests hold regular rituals to summon the Divine Envoy to purify the blood of those demons.

"The other option is to find a suitable place where I will leave a permanent purification field. The number of demons purified at a time may be less than the first option, but in the long run, this is still more trouble-free. "

"That's it!"

Xia Duo thought for a while and asked Rich: "Are there any special requirements for a suitable place in the second option?"

"It mainly depends on yourselves. The permanent purification field can not only be used to purify the blood of demons, but also has certain protective capabilities. The cost of maintaining such a field is not small. Even if it is not used at all, it will consume at least nearly three meters per year. Hundreds of Holy Light Crystals."

Three hundred holy light crystals are not a small amount. Xia Duo has also studied this kind of token of the Kingdom of Glory before, but the purchasing power is second. The key is that the holy power in it is difficult to manipulate.

It has certain rare attributes. In the mortal world, it can only be infused by priests. Even if it is only 300 per year, it is not something that any territory in Netheril can afford.

It would take all the priests in the country combined to bear it.

The most important thing is that there is no upper limit. If more demons are purified within a year, the holy power reserve of the entire Netheril may be emptied.

In fact, Xia Duo prefers the second option. The first option requires priests to hold a ceremony to summon the messenger every time. The cost of this summoning is often divine grace + holy power. On the contrary, even if the second option consumes a lot, the cost is only holy power.

Of course, he can also summon the messenger himself. He does not need to consume divine grace or holy power when he summons the messenger with the holy seal. It seems that nothing is consumed, but in fact it is consuming the favors of him and the two messengers.

Purifying blood is almost only a negative benefit for the messenger, because the demon blood is just the personal behavior of the caster. It has not yet been transformed into a demon, nor has it caused serious pollution to the plane. It is not within the scope of the duties of the messenger.

On the contrary, purification itself is a delicate job, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive and has no gains.

In this case, it is okay to ask the other party to help occasionally. If you call them over from time to time, no matter how many favors you have, it will not be enough.

Of course, Xia Duo would not use his favors to subsidize the demons, and because the first option would consume divine grace, he could not decide on behalf of the priests in the country. He could only decide on the second option.
