The Simple Life of Killing Demons

Book 12: Chapter 54

Volume 12 Chapter 54 : Rebellion Begins

Taroma was a little puzzled after being looked at by Tasser, "What's wrong? Dad?"

"Youre still too young after all. But, there are times that being young is not necessarily a bad thing. Ill entrust our home to you and personally head out."

"I'll go too, Dad."

"No, you stay here." Tasser said sharply.

"Understood." Taroma was very depressed. Why should he stay home? He also wanted to save the spirits of Margado. By then, he might be able to return with a reputation as a hero, while Reidy would change her mind about him. However, since Tasser said that, he had no choice but to stay there obediently.

Speaking of Reidy, Taroma thought of Lin Xiang. He admired that Lin Xiang very much. Not only was he able to see through his illusion, he got along with dragons in the wild, and now, the spirits were able to enjoy delicious food.

Just like the spirits there, they might not know the name of their city lord, but when Lin Xiang was involved, it was impossible for them not to recognize his name. Lin Xiang's name had been deeply engraved into the hearts of the spirits in major cities. Since the beginning, Taroma felt that losing to Lin Xiang was not a loss.

After his father left, he was at loose ends. What should he do?

Why not go to Delza and find Lin Xiang?

He thought it was a great idea, so he went to the teleportation area. In his opinion, Margado was just harassed by demons that were more serious than usual. Those insects should be some kind of new demons species.

It was not just Taroma who thought that way. Almost all the spirits who had not been attacked thought so too.

Delza was now engaged in a defensive battle, while Margado was turned into an insect hell. These were real news that the spirits did not know about. Of course, there were spirits trying to convey messages, but were always held up by some spirits.

Catudor, the place where most spirits were treated, was the central hospital of Spirit Country. When spirits were injured and sick, they usually visit Catudor for treatment. It was the most economically developed place, and it was also the place where spirits conduct magic research.

There were several elderly spirits there. Many of them were scholars who studied about science. The science of spirits was somewhat different from that of humans. What they focused on was not technology, but magic products, such as magic crystal lamps, magic furnaces, etc. It was all invented there.

It was located at a relatively remote area where it was surrounded by water, a great place for spirits to recuperate.

Berdoko was the dean of the Catudor Magic Research Institute. Compared with the city lord, he was just a rank below city lords, but his authority was definitely greater than the local city lord.

Not all the spirits know the names of the city lords of other cities. However, Berdoko was known to all the spirits. Although Lin Xiang was the same now, his reputation had a longer history than Lin Xiangs.

With a white beard, wrinkled skin like a tree bark, and a pair of homemade reading glasses hanging from his neck, that old man was Berdoko.

Berdoko loved studying science all his life. With no wife, science was his other half to him. At present, he was studying the food made by Lin Xiang, egg porridge.

It was just simple egg porridge, yet he was able to write an explanation as thick as a book of why its deliciousness made spirits feel sense of joy.

"If the cooked ingredients are changed into other substances" Berdoko wrote on a piece of paper.

He then started writing down the ingredients needed to be added. He felt that food was like alchemy, because different combinations would have different effects.

"Kongkong." There was a knock on the door. Berdoko never liked others disturbing him when he was working, so he said in fury, "Just talk outside if you have something to say."

"Kachakk." However, it was not what he expected when someone somehow opened the door.

"Annoying brat." Berdoko was about to curse as soon as he raised his head, but when he saw who was coming, he was stunned.

"How did youhow did you get here!" His eyes widened, and a tall figure was reflected in Berdoko's cloudy eyes.

That someone had silver-white curly hair. Wearing tight armor with its pale skin, just a glance at it, made it look like a humanoid spirit. However, its red eyes that had no pupils and its right hand with only bones and no flesh, made the "human" in front incredibly terrifying. The bone of the right hand held a magic staff that was made of some kind of metal, with a black crystal at the tip.

"Ah hahahahaha, this surprised look is great. I presume that you are what they call, Dean Berdoko." The other party spoke with a slight shrill in its voice.

"The language of the world beyond the skies! The demonic energy in your body Are you the demon clan that Fire (Fire Dances mother) and the others spoke of!?"

"Yes, yes, yes! As expected of the dean, it's no wonder that the city lord here respects you so much. Congratulations, you're truly correct. I'm a demon from the outer world. It seems that you have a good grip of the language of the outer world."

When Fire and the spirits living in the Deli Temple first came to Spirit Country, Berdoko was very interested in them. It could be said that their ability to speak the language of the spirits was all due to the teachings of Berdoko and his apprentices as well as other scholars. Meanwhile, Berdoko and the others also learned the language of the outer world. They had an idea, which was to go to the unknown world of beyond the skies to explore in the future.

"Guards! Guards!" Berdoko knew that the demons in the outer world were more terrifying than the lowly demons, so he shouted for guards. At that moment, he did not have time to think about how the demon clan came to the research institute.

The research institute was located in the center of Catudor. Even if the demon clan invaded, it was impossible for him not to know about it, unless the demon clan opened a hole in the sky and came to the center of the city in the first place.

"Guards, guards. Look at you, how many guards do you want to call?"

"You damn demon clan."

"Oh, damn demon clan. Others have always praised us like this. For us, death is the best way to express ourselves. Come on in, your dean has been very emotional."

With the call of the demon clan, two people familiar to Berdoko walked in, namely Alvin, the poison-attributed city lord, and Mick, the earth-attributed city lord. They used to be Berdoko's apprentices and studied science with him.

"Alvin, Mick. What are you" No matter how active Berdokos mind was, he could not figure out why his former apprentices would bring the demon clan to him.

"Mr. Berdoko, please allow me to explain." Alvin smiled, with a calm demeanor, "Sir, do you know the prophecy of the Great Spirit Elder?"

"The Great Spirit Elder has so many prophecies, how do I know which one youre talking about." Berdoko's tone was very unfriendly. How could they walk alongside the demon clan? The demon clan consisted of creatures more ferocious than lowly demons. Berdoko felt heartbroken. If someone else found out, it would be a small matter if they lost their position as city lords, but they might be imprisoned for life.

"The one that Sir doesn't know." Alvin did not care about Berdoko's attitude, and told Berdoko about the prophecy very kindly, "Sir should know that it was when the day the Great Spirit Elder died, right?"

Yes, I know. I was researching about the magic crystal in the demon's body at the time, so I was not there, which made me greatly regret it.

"That's right. Sir has always been such a serious person, so Sir missed knowing that prophecy."

"What prophecy?" Berdoko had never heard that the Great Spirit Elder had a prophecy before his death.

"Few people know about that prophecy, so it's very normal for Sir to not know it. I only heard about it ten years ago as well." The Great Spirit Elder passed away about twenty years ago, which showed that Alvin and the other knew about the prophecy a few years after the elders death.

"What kind of prophecy allows you to walk alongside the demon clan?!"

"Please listen to me, Sir. After listening to me, you will understand why we are like this." Alvin said slowly, "[One day, evil creatures will attack the major cities in Spirit Country. Spirit Country will suffer unprecedented damages.]

You mean to say that the demon clan will attack the major cities in Spirit Country? Berdoko understood immediately, and then his beard was trembling with anger. He taunted defiantly, "Why does the prophecy say that Spirit Country will suffer unprecedented damages!? Isnt it because you brought the demon clan in now!? Its all because of you that the prophecy will come true! Get out of my room now!

"Sir, I have always thought you are a wise person. Why have I just found out how corrupted you are now? We decided to join the demon clan because of the prophecy, and the demon clan also wanted us to surrender. In this way, not only can we survive, but well also gain great power!"

"That's right, Sir. We can still invade the human world by then! Didn't you always say that you wanted to understand the technology of the human world? As long as we capture the human world, we will master all human knowledge. Humans are usually so rampant, so it's time for us to take revenge." Mick said excitedly. He was relatively tall and sturdy, like a strong man. It was difficult to imagine that such a spirit was engaged in scientific research that required care, patience, and brain power.

"You two idiots! How can you believe the words of the demon clan? They are scarier than those lowly demons! How could you be found by him! Yet, you still believe his nonsense!"

"Please don't compare me with those rubbish demonic spirits, alright?" The white-haired demon clan turned the staff in its hand, "Also, it wasnt I that found them, but them who found me. When I just came here, it was unexpected that some spirits came to welcome me."

Alvin and Mick received the news from Dusk Water and told them to wait at the demon abyss, where the demon clan would descend. When they went to the demon abyss, many demon apostles were found. Although Alvin and the others expressed their intentions, the demon apostles completely regarded them as sacrificial objects. After a fierce battle, they killed the resisting demon apostles with their numbers and strength. , leaving some. Together with the demon apostles, they used their companions to summon the arrival of the demons with fresh blood.

There were a great number of the demon clan coming, but there were only a few white-haired demons clan members.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Frankenstein, and I am a baron of the demon clan. Can you understand what a baron means? A noble. Well, a noble among the demon clan. It just so happens that, similar to all of you, I like science. I really yearn for human wisdom, you see."

"I don't care who you are, I just want you to leave my laboratory, and you two!"

"Sir, listen to me"

"Your dean has such a good temper. It seems that I need to give you a profound explanation before you understand the benefits of following me. Hehehehe."
