"My name is Lilith, one of the four primal demons created by my father, his most beloved daughter, and the reigning sales champion for four consecutive seasons!"
The high-ranking demon in the shrine was filled with pride when mentioning its name, specifically emphasizing that it is the "most beloved" daughter of the Master of Demons, hinting to Ethan and others that killing it would have terrifying consequences.
But in fact, its brain was still buzzing.
As an old-fashioned business-type demon, Lilith always advocated the principle of fair dealing, acknowledging that it harbored bad intentions when proposing a trade to Echo, but Echo could completely refuse it, even insult or ignore it, a situation it was accustomed to, with strong psychological endurance.
However, Echo reinforced the seal of the shrine during its lax moment and headed straight to Ethan’s room.
What does this mean? It asked.
Now, Lilith felt that Echo was even less human-like than itself; fortunately, Echo hadn’t yet exposed its behavior of possessing a Reception Bureau investigator, otherwise, it might face a heavy punch.
"Alright, Miss Lilith."
Ethan nodded, "Now you can tell us what you know about Kane."
Echo remained at the door.
In fact, her mind was also somewhat muddled now.
Because there was an additional person in Ethan’s room, as soon as she entered, she saw Lindong dressed in black tight clothes, half-lying on the bed.
Despite Ethan’s repeated emphasis that he and Lindong were discussing plans for the festival for official matters, Echo was also an experienced negotiator and, anyway, she had never seen anyone conduct official business in a way that leads them to bed.
"I can tell you, but what do I get in return?"
Lilith was still unwilling to give up.
In its intelligence database, Kane undoubtedly belonged to S-rank information, and it found it hard to bear revealing such valuable information without getting any compensation.
Lying lazily on the bed, Lindong spoke, "A magic that can open its brain to examine everything it knows."
Why is this happening?
It was merely an industrious merchant, always prioritizing clients’ needs, but today it encountered unreasonable gang members.
Only these barbaric people liked using coercive measures.
"Don’t be impulsive!"
Lilith quickly said, if someone else said this, it would scoff, but Lindong was different; it feared Lindong because its intelligence store also had information about this Witch, equally S-rank, depicting another side of Lindong, or more accurately, another her.
It had no doubt that Lindong could use spells to open its brain; once Lindong saw the information concerning her, it would be doomed.
It would be silenced.
The internal radar emitted strong warnings, Lilith didn’t hesitate long before choosing to survive the ordeal, "I’ll tell you, but consider it as you owe me a favor, to help if I encounter danger in the future."
Relatively speaking, it believed Ethan to be a decent person. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet
He got along well with many Old Gods and seemed much more normal.
Ethan replied nonchalantly.
"It’s a secret of Kaisaros’ followers, covered up by the War Council... you should be familiar with the Old Gods, besides humans and chosen ones, they created many creations, the four primal demons created by my father, the ’Death God’ created by Bazatous, and the Warlord created by Kaisaros."
For the Old Gods, these creations’ status supersedes chosen ones, being the most esteemed and the strongest beings.
"They learned from the war marking the First Epoch, generally believing humans to be untrustworthy, and more importantly, not reliable for major tasks."
That night, Lilith also grasped this principle.
She was betrayed by a human, now hanging by a thread.
Echo was puzzled, "If that’s the case, why did they develop so many followers?"
She visited many civilizations over the years, where except for the uniquely characterized Western Continent, almost every country was troubled by Evil God’s Followers, with more people believing in the Old Gods, whether voluntarily or forced, an irreversible trend.
"Because humans are their bridge connecting them to this world."
Upon hearing this, Lilith was stunned for a moment, the shrine placed on the table remained still, looking dead.
Ethan always cut to the chase, speaking of something that frightened it.
It didn’t want to discuss the soul topic with Ethan, but now Lindong was also eyeing it, and both silence and deceit would provoke the fierce actions of this demonic Witch.
"Correct, it’s the soul, fuel for tearing through space and also this world’s... most unique existence."
Switching the narrative, Lilith continued, "Next, is the Warlord created by Kaisaros, the leader of the War Council, once considered the spokesperson of the Father of War, until one day over ten years ago, the Warlord issued a command to the council’s elders, leading seven elders away from the Abyss and to some place."
It paused and added, "It was precisely at that time point that this special team disappeared, marking the first appearance of Kane."
Ethan asked, "Are you implying that Kane is actually the missing Warlord?"
