Chapter 267 Heading to the Night Banquet
On the plane bound for the Demon Island, Mu Hua looked at the clouds in the darkness, feeling a little sleepy.
Even though he seems to be busy day and night, because he enters the Island of the Abyss almost every night, Mu Hua's schedule is actually quite regular.
Anne the witch awakens, encounters a demonic illusion on the road, snatches a dimensional fragment, and then Kunna comes to the door, and a series of problems arise.
Mu Hua experienced a lot in just one day.
At this time, the voices of Tabitha and Helen speaking in his ears became a little hazy. Compared with Tabitha's expectations for the demon family, Mu Hua's eyelids were twitching, and the suitable temperature in the cabin caused him to feel sleepy.
"Mu Hua, Mu Hua!" He called several times until his shoulder was pushed. Mu Hua gasped for breath, as if he had just woken up from a short dream.
"Yeah!" Looking back in astonishment, Mu Hua didn't feel angry to get up, but he was pushed and pushed while he was half asleep and half awake. Although he was slightly frightened, his brows still furrowed and his eyes showed a fierce look.
"What's going on? Are you sleepy?" Tabitha asked Mu Hua as her palms kept shaking in front of Mu Hua's eyes until Mu Hua's pupils focused.
"Oh, what's wrong? Well, I'm a little tired." Still a little hysterical, Mu Hua responded aimlessly after seeing the environment clearly and his mind gradually clearing up.
"Did you hear all the precautions that Helen said? With such a lack of energy, you won't mess around with Kunna again, right?" Tebitha asked Mu Hua with a hint of disgust.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I participated in a witch's awakening. When I came back, I encountered a demon who set up an illusion outside the town. I got a dimensional fragment and brought you a logistics team. You are in good spirits. Tell me, what should I pay attention to? Matter?" Mu Hua replied angrily.
"You got dimensional fragments?" Tebitha was surprised, and the dissatisfaction on Helen's face also subsided.
"Well, you may not like this space of the undead." Mu Hua said casually after yawning, unscrewing a bottle of water and taking a few sips.
Mu Hua encountered one thing after another today, and Tabitha didn't even know what he encountered before returning to the hotel. As the story went on, the unexpected expressions on Tabitha and Helen's faces became more and more intense.
"Do you go through these things every day?" Although Mu Hua's words were vague and vague, Helen still asked hesitantly.
"He bothered, but I didn't bother. According to you, the area of that dimensional space is not small. Do you have a cross-border stone? Give me the key." Tebitha said to Mu Hua when she retorted.
"We'll see what happens later. There's something wrong with that space. The magic environment there doesn't seem to be very safe." Mu Hua said vaguely, early on blaming all the abnormalities on the Abyss Island on the fusion of dimensional fragments.
The dimensional space aroused Tebitha's interest, and the original topic about the Demon's Night Banquet was sidetracked.
However, after getting the dimensional fragments, Mu Hua did not enter that space again. He only said that there was a problem in that space. Seeing that Mu Hua could not explain the details for a while, Helen once again turned the topic back to the Demon Night Banquet.
"Are you saying that there is still danger in the Devil's Night Banquet?" Mu Hua asked with a frown as Helen told her story.
"Yes, the Demon Night Banquet itself is to find a contract partner for the young Demon in order to suppress the Demon's demonic nature."
"But over the years, there have also been many demons in the clan who have completely lost their rationality due to early awakening and have been exiled."
"Killing those exiles is equivalent to a coming-of-age ceremony for the young demons. You need to assist your contract partners to complete the coming-of-age ceremony."
"The Demons are not that cheap. Although they will provide you with certain protection, and the battle is mainly between the Demons and the exiles, you are still in danger."
"Unless your contractor is willing to sign a contract with you in advance, the clan will also confirm whether you are qualified to make the clan members your dependents based on your performance when hunting the exiles." Helen said to Mu Hua.
"Give the exiles a fair death?" Mu Hua sighed.
"Well, the exiles did not lose their humanity voluntarily. They were once our tribesmen, even relatives, so the Demon Clan will end them through battle."
Speaking of this, although Helen had a cold face, she could clearly feel her depression.
Demons who have lost their humanity are more ferocious than demons. It is a kind of annihilation of reason. The Demon clan does not directly kill such existences but chooses to exile them. Mu Hua can't say much about this. After all, this is a human family. tradition in.
"Then this Demon Night Banquet can also be said to be the Demon's coming-of-age ceremony, right?"
"You could say the same thing."
"Bessa and I can only choose demons who have not awakened the demon blood to make a contract?" Mu Hua asked again.
"Well, although the candidates for the Demon Night Banquet are recommended by demons like us who walk outside, the clan will also review the qualifications of the participants."
"It is a last resort for demons to become humans' dependents, but the demon clan also hopes that the clan can grow stronger."
"After all, the growth of a demon also requires resources. The personal talent, family background, and financial strength of the contract partner are all within the scope of assessment."
"Awakening one's bloodline and maintaining one's humanity represents a demon's qualifications and character to a certain extent, so the tribe hopes that such tribesmen can find contractors with greater potential, which will also be more conducive to their growth." Helen explained.
"In other words, among the invitees to the night banquet, the background and financial resources of the Benson family are not very conspicuous." Mu Hua said.
"Well, after all, Benson is just a wealthy family in the human world. Alan Demon is committed to integrating into human society, but it is not limited to the human world."
"But don't worry too much. The individual potential and character of the contractor will be highly valued. You know, the imperial family has been rejected for several consecutive banquets." Helen did not cover up Benson's shortcomings.
"This is really realistic. So without enough outstanding personal talents, we can only choose those who have not awakened with poor qualifications to contract?" Mu Hua said with a sneer.
"Blood awakening does not absolutely represent the level of qualifications. I was not awakened when I contracted with Samantha." Helen frowned and said.
"Hehe, you mean that your qualifications are very high and very strong among your peers?" Mu Hua said with a smile.
"You want to try?" Helen said angrily, sensing Mu Hua's ridicule.
"Don't, don't, are you kidding? Why are you still angry? Qualifications and talents..." Mu Hua raised his hand to beg for mercy, and turned to look at Taibesha, mumbling and thinking about something.
There is no rule for the awakening of demon blood, and Mu Hua is not clear whether the time of blood awakening represents qualifications.
But the reason why there are exiles among the demons is that they awakened their blood before signing a contract with humans, but failed to maintain their humanity.
This is a relatively unsolvable situation. The demon blood may awaken at any time, and only by becoming a human family can they ensure their complete rationality.
But the slavery contract cannot be signed just because they want to.
It is impossible for demons to instill the idea of being enslaved in their offspring after they are born, nor can they train their offspring like slave traders.
They are demons, servants, not perverts.
Therefore, in the process of their growth, demons need to spend a long time to adjust themselves until they can sign a contract with others, which means they are qualified to participate in the demon banquet.
In this series of processes, the appearance of exiles is inevitable. This seems to be an infinitely recurring nightmare haunting the demon clan.
It is easier to understand why in this clan, those demons who awaken the demon blood but can temporarily stick to their humanity will have a higher evaluation.
Mu Hua doesn't care whether the demons have awakened blood or not. It can even be said that Mu Hua doesn't care much about demon followers now.
As long as he has the right resources, the magical life created by him can become his followers at any time.
The creation of all things has subtly brought a certain complex of arrogance to the depths of Mu Hua's heart. (End of this chapter)
