Chapter 1462 - 58: People of the Gate
Fisher is at the Mythical Rank, while Moli, though not mythical, is at least a surprising Fourteenth Rank. Therefore, despite the "Competitive Gate" being quite a distance from the Dragon Court, Fisher did not initially consider the distance a problem.They would reach their final destination in just about a morning, and indeed, as Fisher anticipated, they set out in the morning and, before noon, could vaguely see a lush green expanse from the foot of the Southern Branch Mountain Range.
"Tweet tweet!"
Fisher’s geographical knowledge was average, unable to fully confirm the specific location of the Competitive Gate. But after a few "zombie birds" flew by in the sky, similar to the situation in the morning, he knew that the Death Lord and the Competitive Gate were probably nearby.
In fact, it was Moli who first noticed those things carrying a corpse aura. Perhaps it was due to her Blessing and Whale-man Species identity, making her very sensitive to sensing life. But this also reminded her of Rafael’s words from last night, causing her to worry unnoticeably.
The friend Fisher mentioned... why would he use such odd means, or perhaps what Rafael said is true, Fisher’s method of saving the Dragon Court must be extremely dangerous...
"We’re almost there, let’s keep going, Moli."
Moli, following behind Fisher, nodded subconsciously but still couldn’t help but ask him,
"Fisher, are those things the method your... friend uses?"
"Well, just consider him... a slightly special human. He means no harm."
"I see..."
Moli quickly stepped forward to walk alongside Fisher, then asked another question,
"By the way, Fisher, I meant to ask earlier. If the Demon Dynasty is the lair of those demons, won’t our entry be discovered? They’re very formidable, if Barbatos finds out and returns, we’re afraid..."
Fisher slowed his pace a bit, with some contemplation on his face, but after a moment of silence, he still shook his head, analyzing,
"It’s unlikely they will know. Barbatos and Agares both think they have truly been released, but they don’t know the seal on them was only temporarily lifted by the base. The person who released them deceived them, unless that person is willing to expose their lie and inform them, they won’t find out our actions anytime soon... but it’s only temporary, we need to hurry."
Emhardt also extended an eye towards Moli, saying,
"He’s right, the Demon Dynasty isn’t exactly a lair for demons. Not to mention they live far apart, even when they were free, most of them didn’t dwell together in the Dynasty. Most of them are not very fond of each other, so as long as you don’t enter the places where those two Demon Gods reside in the Dynasty, none will find out you’ve arrived... Oh, and one exception is you can’t enter the place where a Demon God named Sidi resides, besides Barbatos and Agares’s whereabouts."
"Sidi... why?"
Fisher and Moli both looked at Emhardt very curiously, seeing him hesitating before finally saying reluctantly,
"Just a rumor, saying his relationship with Barbatos is extraordinary, you know, that kind of extraordinary. The rumor is that Sidi has indescribable unparalleled beauty, no matter male or female, upon meeting him, he’d seduce them into madly falling in love with him. As a demon, Sidi also loves to entertain affection, seeking joy. Even the most robust King of the human Central Kingdom at the time fell under his charm, leading to a scenario where three generations competed for him as a partner...
"Barbatos, in contrast, was said to be very upright for a Demon God, extracting Fallen Self through animals rather than intelligent beings. At that time, almost all hunters on the continent believed him and symbolized him as a breeze, yearning for freedom and refined spirit.
"As a Demon God searching for joy in the world, surely Sidi noticed this upright Demon God and became deeply interested, attempting to seduce him but never succeeding. Eventually, after who knows how long, he became attracted to Barbatos himself... Ah, anyway, from then on, he never tried to seduce anyone else, only appearing with Barbatos."
Fisher paused slightly, exchanging a glance with Moli, simultaneously repeating a pronoun from Emhardt’s words,
"He?"
"Ah, yes... you know, demons have genders too, Sidi and Barbatos are traditionally male demons. But Sidi, that fellow... well, he does pursue both genders and is quite adept at it, I can’t say for sure either. Anyway, it’s just..."
Moli blushed a little, averting her eyes, while Fisher rubbed his temples, hastily stopping Emhardt, expressing a disinterest in hearing more about the love story between those two male demons. Just knowing not to visit their residences was enough.
They should focus on entering the Demon Dynasty now.
In Fisher’s view, Helair wasn’t strictly in league with the two demons. If one must differentiate, she likely only used them to destroy the opportunity opened by the Doomsday Prophecy (Rafael), rather than truly releasing the demons.
