Chapter 92: Accommodation of the Demon Lords
Chapter 92: Accommodation of the Demon Lords
The scene below the bell tower had become very awkward because of the end of the battle.
The relationship between the Abyss and the tavern, or rather, the relationship between the Abyss and Rock City, could be said to be inextricably linked.
Wayne looked at the three demon lords he had defeated with a headache, thinking of a proper way to deal with them.
At this moment, Ai Xiaohei was also very conflicted. These demon lords were her superiors in the Abyss, and now they had lost miserably to a human.
"What should we do?"
Wayne looked at Alan and asked.
At this moment, Alan was also having a headache and didn't know how to deal with it. When he was asked, his face was full of worry.
"Why don't we let them all work in the tavern?"
Alan suggested his own idea uncertainly.
"No!"
"No!"
The two sentences came from Sofia and Beelzebub respectively. The former was worried about Alan's safety, while the latter was unwilling to be controlled by humans.
"Well... Forget I said it."
Alan laughed awkwardly and dismissed the idea of hiring for free. After all, they were not willing to do it, so it was better not to force it.
"Ahem." Wayne coughed lightly and said, "In that case, I'll just throw them into the forest."
"No!"
As soon as Wayne finished speaking, Sofia objected again.
"I can't do this or that. Then tell me a way!" Wayne lost his patience. He couldn't kill them, and he had already defeated them. They weren't hot-blooded young people, and they would not obediently listen to him.
"We can't just throw them into the forest like this. When they recover, those young elven children will definitely suffer."
Sofia's words were indeed very reasonable. It was not a smart decision to let the defeated opponents out of his sight.
"Let them stay in the tavern. I said that I'm absolutely safe in the tavern. No one can attack without my consent."
Alan could not help but suggest his own suggestion. This seemed to be the best solution at the moment.
Sofia wanted to object again, but when she saw Alan's determined expression, she could only give up trying to persuade him.
"Alright, they can stay at the tavern, but they have to sign a magic contract with you. They absolutely can't hurt you or anyone else!"
Sofia was determined to reveal the method to make herself compromise. This was the only way to get her to agree to the three dangerous demons stay by Alan's side.
Otherwise, she would rather throw them into the forest. At worst, she could inform the elves in advance and find a chance to kill them all.
At this point, Abraham looked at Beelzebub, who was still unwilling to agree. He knew that if he did not say anything, he could only watch them being thrown into the forest and killed by the elves.
"Asmodeus, just agree. Alan will not force you to do things you don't want to do. He is a human that you can trust."
Abraham did not speak to Beelzebub. Instead, he directly persuaded the strongest of the three.
Asmodeus went silent for a moment. Samael was the symbol of anger. He was the first to lose his cool and angrily stomped his feet on the spot.
"Okay, I agree. In any case, I can either comfort girls in the Abyss or to spread my love in the human world. As long as there are girls, I will be able to live."
Hearing his random answer, Alan felt a headache for Demon King. The Abyss was full of weird talents.
Hearing Asmodeus' answer, Beelzebub's face was full of displeasure.
Samael did not refute. After all, his target had always been Abraham.
After deciding on the way to deal with them, they returned to the tavern.
On the way back, Ai Xiaohei refused to carry Sofia on his back, but Alan had no choice but to ask Yupanki for help.
When it was Yupanki's turn, it became Sofia's turn to be unhappy, and Dorje said something at that moment.
"Little Alan's weak physique won't be able to carry you all the way."
Sofia, who was originally feeling awkward, instantly quieted down. Upon closer inspection, her face was still slightly red.
Alan was a little confused and even a little sad. Why did Uncle Dorje have to mock him? He looked at Uncle Dorje with a bitter look.
On the way back to the tavern, the three new demon lords carefully looked at the street lamps by the roadside.
This thing could ignore the gray fog and create light.
Seeing that they were curious, Alan did not hide it and generously told them the principle of the electric lamps.
The three of them were amazed again.
They returned to the tavern
As soon as they reached the door, they saw the governor and the administrative officer rushing over.
The dwarves in the tavern had already left, and it was getting late. Moreover, Bart and the others had come to drink at noon.
After everyone took their seats, Kramer and Severino looked at the demon lords who were sitting in a row with great vigilance.
Alan gave Sofia a high-level magic Lafite and gave the others a different level of magic Lafite.
Ai Xiaohei had returned to her original size and was lying on the bar counter as usual.
Then, everyone began to discuss what happened that night.
Alan was the speaker, and Wayne added that he was showing off his heroism in battle.
Abraham was silent at the side until Sofia mentioned him.
"Abraham, shouldn't you give an explanation for what happened tonight?"
Abraham raised his head and looked around at everyone present. Then, he slowly took off his hood.
It had been a long time since he could clearly see that pale and handsome face. There seemed to be less confidence on that face and more worry.
Alan did not know what kind of mental struggle that Abraham had gone through during this period of time, but from the looks of it, it should be very torturous.
"Actually, I came to the human world because I was entrusted by Demon King..."
Abraham slowly narrated the series of events that had happened since he had been sent to the human world by Demon King.
It was also the first time Alan and Wayne learned about it.
"Then what do you mean now? Are you planning to betray the Abyss?" Sofia pressed on.
"No, I will never betray my hometown, and I will never betray Demon King!" Abel retorted.
"Aren't you betraying us by helping humans? If you had helped us just now, Asmodeus wouldn't have lost!" Beelzebub suddenly interrupted and complained to Abraham.
"I will still lose. That sloppy uncle of yours is super strong. He's probably only slightly weaker than Demon King."
Asmodeus's lazy voice rang out again. His words shocked everyone present.
Even Alan found it hard to believe that a middle-aged man who indulged himself in drinking and forging all day long actually had the ability to face Demon King head-on!
Wayne was even more pleased when he heard that. His calm expression on his face revealed a hint of pride.
When everyone saw Wayne's expression, they instantly lost their previous shock.
No matter how strong he became, with his sloppy temperament, he would always be the Wayne of the tavern.
After everything was explained clearly, making the three demon lords sign a magic contract was the prerequisite for them to stay in the tavern.
After everything was over, it was already late at night. Everyone left. Kramer called Dorje away, wanting to ask him about his mission.
Abraham hesitated and followed Wayne's footsteps. Before leaving the tavern, he glanced at Alan.
"Don't worry, Abraham. I'll take care of your clansmen."
Alan waved his hand and said goodbye.
"Then I'll be counting on you."
After saying that, Abraham no longer hesitated and turned around to catch up with Wayne.
Only Yupanki, Ai Xiaohei, and the three new spiky devils were left in the tavern. Alan looked at this group of people and suddenly felt a headache.
Abraham followed Wayne to the blacksmith shop.
He hesitated a few times whether to speak or not.
"Say what you want to say. Don't act shy like a little woman!"
Wayne waited for him to speak, but he didn't say anything for a long time. Then he impatiently urged him.
"You already know my identity. Why did you let me stay in the blacksmith shop?"
He seemed to have made up his mind and finally spoke his question.
Wayne turned back to look at him. His face was full of doubt, but it also looked like he was looking at a fool.
"Are all of you from the Abyss so brainless? Knowing that you're from the Abyss, of course I have to put you on my side so you won't hurt other people. Stop joking."
"Wayne, you're a liar!"
After hearing this, Abraham felt that he had been deceived, and he was instantly angered like a puffer fish.
Wayne's expression changed, and his heart trembled slightly..
"This fool, could it be that he has some feelings for me that he shouldn't have? I only like beautiful girls..."
Wayne's face was serious. "Abraham, you have to learn to distinguish whether what others say is true or false. You also have to learn to distinguish between your own feelings, whether it's friendship, or something else... Hmm, you understand, right?"
Hearing this, Abraham fell into deep thought.
Wayne looked at Abraham, who had not spoken for a long time. His forehead was slightly sweating, and he was about to say something.
"You mean that before this, you still treated me as a friend and not as an enemy, right?"
After Abraham said this, Wayne was clearly stunned. "Are we talking about the same thing?"
But forget it, as long as he knew that they were friends, it was fine. So Wayne hurriedly nodded, indicating that he treated him as a friend.
After getting an affirmative answer, Abraham's expression relaxed, and he walked to the blacksmith's shop alone.
Wayne felt baffled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and followed Abraham.
