In terms of the result, the war that occurred in the Ice and Snow Kingdom led to a very sad outcome.
After all, as the undead, the Snow Elf was not the only Elf.
But even Mohe, without enough materials, could only manage to resurrect one Elf, not to mention, she herself did not intend to resurrect other Elves.
In fact, earlier when Mohe requested to trade slaves with the Elf, the guards sent by the Elf to escort the captives were the remaining "living ones" of the Snow Elf clan.
Mohe had no interest in "mortals," so she would not resurrect anyone else.
Therefore, even if an Elf was resurrected, the occupation of the Ice and Snow Kingdom was meaningless. So, when Mohe and Doro left, it was practically a fact that the city was taken over by humans again.
Of course, in theory, since the Thunder Emperor was defeated and became Noel, the Human Central Empire’s army should have retreated far away. From a distance perspective, the possibility of the Elf Kingdom sending troops here was larger, though it was really hard to imagine the Elf clan, after the Land of the Ancestors was ravaged, daring to take action against the Ice and Snow Kingdom.
Exactly how courageous must one be to have such a thought?
"If you are unwilling to go to God, then continue to exist as undead."
Mohe offered such advice: "Let this place become a Land of the Dead."
She was not stingy on this matter. Although she did not intend to resurrect the remaining Snow Elves, she frankly stated that with her power, she could make the undead sustain longer if these undead Snow Elves were willing to remain in the Ice and Snow Kingdom.
However, this was actually unrealistic.
After all, most of this kingdom is human.
This has always been a human kingdom, and when the Elf launched a surprise attack, she did not massacre the original humans of the kingdom. Even for the so-called royal family, she merely captured them, and during the war implemented military control-like actions, now...
Indeed, it is possible to return the kingdom to the people who originally lived here.
According to Mohe’s suggestion of turning it into a Land of the Dead, all the humans here would also need to be turned into undead. Mohe certainly has the means for this, but Doro would never agree to such an approach.
As for whether the natives here choose to rely on the Central Human Empire or continue to be independent as the Ice and Snow Kingdom, that is another matter.
"Noel—I always feel your name is awkward, I still prefer your defiant image as the Thunder Emperor." Ah Xion couldn’t help but say to Noel.
Noel just adjusted her glasses: "You’re not much better than I am. At least I was captured, you completely walked in yourself. A traitor to humanity."
"...You’re unexpectedly sharp-tongued. But I don’t deny what you said."
How does such a person bear the name "Saint"? She clearly is a traitor.
Noel considered that she had no shame, at least she resisted until the last moment, but the fact that she became like this was indeed unexpected, after all, the Demon King’s wicked humor is truly unimaginable—she pondered, if she were a beautiful girl at the time, would the Demon King have not thrown her out but instead dressed her in the Maid outfit made by the Demon King themselves?
Sigh... Reaching this stage, only power is eternal, the weak will be humiliated in this way, it might not be a type of training.
Perhaps, under such humiliating tempering, she might become stronger?
Speaking of which, seems like the Demon King hasn’t changed their race?
She harbors doubts about this.
"I have a question I’d like to ask you."
"You want to ask me a question after insulting me like this?"
...
In fact, the doubts that Noel harbors are also present in A Gedora’s mind.
Because Demon King Mohe, to this day still remains human.
When Mohe reclaimed her horns, maintaining her human state was understandable, just saying she didn’t want to waste power on regaining the symbol of the Demon Race, instead filling other missing parts... it could be considered a reasonable explanation, but after Mohe clearly swallowed her horns, regained the power of creation and destruction, she still maintained a human form.
Even Noel has not been transformed into the Demon Race...
You should know, Mohe previously turned Rose into a member of the Demon Race. The kind of transactions proposed are all like this. Even the regained control over Lisidorwei—was it because she now had enough power, so no longer lacked a certain sense of security? Although from this perspective, it seems to make sense, Doro always felt there were other reasons.
This doubt arises mainly because of the resurrected Elf.
This person was clearly resurrected using the Demon King’s liver as a raw material, yet she still looks like a Snow Elf.
This is too strange.
Regarding Noel’s matter, it’s said Mohe is not bothered, but as for Elf, knowing Mohe’s character, there’s no reason she wouldn’t turn her into a Demon Race.
She clearly seemed very interested in creating new Demon Races before.
"Mr. Doro, do you have something on your mind?" Mohe looked like she was tidying up things, with a crow circling around her, "Has Miss Elf’s work in the Ice and Snow Kingdom been arranged? I think it’s time for us to go back. Leaving Lisidorwei at the mansion, as a husband, is really not very appropriate. You must miss her too, right?"
Doro originally wanted to ask, but seeing her like this, suddenly felt there was no need to ask, so he changed his words: "You’ve already retrieved enough things now, are you going to retrieve other components next?"
"Ah, truly sharp, Mr. Doro, you seem to understand me very well now." The rightful source is novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Mohe displayed a familiar smile: "Understanding me this way, do you have some illicit thoughts towards me? Should I reject you?"
"So what exactly are you plotting?"
"Don’t say it like that. Facing you now, I can tell a bit of the truth." The girl still smiled brightly, "Considering the current situation, at most two years, I can return to my peak period. Now going to retrieve some components, there’s no one who can stop it, you probably won’t stop me, right? Rather, are you a bit anticipating it?"
"Don’t change the subject, Miss Mohe."
"Hmph~~" Mohe made a nasal sound, "Generally speaking, don’t you think retrieving my components now is a disappointing and boring thing?"
Disappointing and boring?
Mohe’s pitch-black pupils seemed to be sparkling: "Don’t you feel surprised? Whether it’s goodwill or malice, whether it’s outlandish thinking or an actual reliable plan—everyone’s making good use of my components~"
She said with a smile: "So far, among the people encountered, only the people from the church haven’t properly utilized my body parts, right? Whether it’s my left foot symbolizing progress, or the left hand symbolizing the curse, Lisidorwei wanted to pry into my eternity but failed, let’s not mention that, but you see Miss Adeline, through studying my lungs, understanding, analyzing, and creating World Reflection, she then came up with such a grand concept as Earthly Heaven. To be honest, although I guessed her plan, the process still interests me a lot."
"This is something I never expected, Mr. Doro. Then again, the Elf Queen, you clearly saw her using various means to mobilize my liver, right? Releasing magic that belongs to me... It’s a surprise, a surprise the world has given me. I’ve never encountered something like this in the past. Finding something interesting over the long years is extremely difficult, so I’m very much looking forward to it, really expectant of the extent to which others with my components will utilize my body, and what interesting thing they might concoct for me. Don’t you look forward to it?"
Doro really couldn’t empathize with Mohe on this point. Whether it was Adeline’s concept or the Elf Queen’s approach, Doro’s heart was filled with anger, as if understanding the Demon King’s secrets deeply, those who borrowed the Demon King’s power would inevitably lose their humanity. Becoming cold and cruel.
Of course, Doro actually knew, this kind of thinking is nothing more than "misdirected anger." What these people did were probably unrelated to Mohe, it was done on their own...
But he found it very difficult to have any expectations for such things again.
However, Mohe seemed very interested, she continued to talk about appropriate matters: "Think about it, those forces and people mastering these forces, which symbolize combat, pierce through illusions, symbolize stagnation, symbolize the undead... What kind of things will they make using these things? What fun can they bring for me? Doesn’t it make you excited?"
Although unable to empathize, Doro truly felt Mohe’s joy, which was definitely not fake emotion.
"Saying this is probably very inappropriate, after all, I do owe you a favor, but, Mohe, I really hate this about you."
"This is really... Mr. Doro, this is truly heartbreaking~ Mr. Doro, do you know how big of a damage a hateful hurt can be to a girl? I can’t help but want to find a place to cry~"
You are clearly laughing.
He originally thought that once he truly stepped into this domain and became a lifeform at the same level as the Demon King, he could truly understand the Demon King’s thoughts, but he was still wrong. He probably will never be able to empathize with this Demon King, never truly know Mohe’s desires.
But...
Are his feelings like this also within Mohe’s expectations?
She makes him feel this way, have such thoughts, is it also a kind of "anticipation"?
Anticipating a more delightful happiness?
Doro did not know.
