Chapter 801 The Significance of the Demon Emperor (1)
After hearing his mother’s words, Lothur insisted. “Even so, I’ll give you some resources that can help you. It’s effortless for me. I’ve collected many items over the past few weeks, and with my skills, I can easily use them to make pills and potions.”
“Really? I don’t want to stand in your way.” She told him, still thinking he didn’t need to give her anything.
Lothur ignored his mother’s comment and said. “I will produce compatible resources for you in the next few hours. In a day at the most, I’ll have enough resources to keep you busy for a few months. After that, I’ll go back to my plans.”
Fabienne was interested in this last part of Lothur’s speech and asked. “What exactly are your plans? Maybe I can help you in some way.”
Lothur’s women and the Tyrannosaurus Rex looked at Fabienne and did not doubt she could help them. As a high-ranking demon, due to her lineage, she surely had information they didn’t have.
Lothur thought the same and came straight to the point. “Hunt demons. My women and I need more Soul Bones to increase our strength. At the same time, I can profit greatly from hunting demons. That’s why we’re hunting groups of those creatures on the continent.”
When they heard this, none of the demons in Fabienne’s group felt strange about Lothur saying that he hunted beings of their race. It was expected, and none of them minded.
Even though they were demons, from the moment they had decided to participate in the birth of a hybrid, they had abandoned their origins and became traitors to their race.
If they returned to Demon Island or were identified as the creators of a hybrid, they would be killed without hesitation! 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔
What’s more, as fanatical worshippers of Lothur, they were willing to do anything to please him, including dying.
How could they care about the possible death of other demons?
“So that’s it…” Fabienne understood, seeing that her son was doing what he was supposed to do.
In Lothur’s situation, he had two types of interesting targets. Humans with many Soul Bones and demons. Both sides could provide him with bones, but it was easier to achieve this against demons. After all, humans with multiple bones usually had a lot of power.
Since he had been hunted by many humans all over the continent, it was also best to go after demons, as this would keep him away from some of his enemies.
So Fabienne advised him. “Lothur, if you’re going to hunt demons, you have to watch out for groups of General demons of the Sniffer type.”
“Sniffers?” Elke asked, never having heard of this sub-classification before.
Cykad explained. “Among demons, there are classes, subclasses, and even professions. Most demons are mighty beings in terms of combat, so we have the idea that there are no creatures of this race that engage in non-violent activities.
But this is a fantasy. There are doctors, blacksmiths, and alchemists. In short, there’s a little bit of everything among the demons. They are scarce on the continent, but they do exist.”
Fabienne nodded and said. “Sniffer demons are born investigators. They have very refined skills that can lead them to precious things.
Currently, the Demon Tribe Command is searching for the awakening of the Demon Emperor, and several sniffers are on the continent searching for the Seven Singularities.
These sniffers are looking for them. So, if you come across a sniffer, it’s almost certain that a powerful elder is watching their group.
Even some elders in our tribe may not be watched. But the sniffers certainly are.
For the tribe, the awakening of the Demon Emperor is more important than the death of a hybrid!”
With these words, Fabienne managed to silence the entire group while Cykad saw that his suspicions were real.
While the beings on the continent thought they were using the demons as bait for Lothur, the demons used the opportunity to get closer to their goal.
They’ve been after these singularities for a long time, but now, for the first time in an extended period, their many enemies aren’t stopping them from moving forward with their plans!
“Considering the current situation on the continent, there must be a dozen sniffers looking for traces of the Seven Singularities,” Fabienne added.
“And how do we identify these sniffers?” Cykad asked.
“There are only sniffer demons among the General demons. So that’s the first clue. But they usually have bestial bodies with big noses and special horns all over their bodies.
Despite their sub-classification, they can track more than just scents. They can pick up sounds, mental fluctuations, and much more with their body structures. Their weakness is that they can’t fight, so they always have several warriors with them.
They’re also not intelligent, so a high-ranking demon will always be commanding them,” She explained.
With this information, Cykad stored it in his mind, something he would use to choose his group’s following targets.
But avoiding them wouldn’t be possible for long!
‘If these creatures are after the singularities, I’ll have to watch them. Maybe one of them will lead me to the other singularities.’ Lothur thought to himself, imagining that he couldn’t avoid them, given his own goals.
Then Rebecca asked a question. “Why does the Demon Tribe want to bring back the Demon Emperor? I’ve heard that the Demon Emperor was a tyrant among the demons.
He unified the demon tribes, which must have been very important to you, but he also took away the autonomy of various groups and turned the leaders into subordinates. From what I’ve heard, it wasn’t just non-demons who suffered during his journey through our world.”
She and the rest of the group had been talking about the Demon Emperor since the beginning of their journey.
Lothur had a lot of information due to the knowledge he received from the Frost family’s ancestors, while Cykad also knew a lot of things.
Seeing that this group knew a little about the history of the demons, Fabienne smiled, for while it was admirable how much they knew, it was only a small part of the tribe’s reality.
“It’s not that simple. Before the Demon Emperor, we lived in several tribes that fought each other and didn’t see each other as demons but as different groups of demons, just like you humans.
But with him, that changed. We stopped being separate and realized that we were one race. We united around his figure, and in a few decades under his command, we advanced from living in huts to creating cities even more advanced than human ones.
He changed our technologies and ways of life so that even though we lost some of our freedoms, we didn’t mind. We were more powerful than ever before!”
