Devil [GL]

"……exactly."

After a while, Metvia lowered her head and said in a low tone.

It was dusk outside at this time, and the light in the house gradually dimmed.Considering the issue of confidentiality, the Demon King drew the curtains and did not turn on the lights, so now, the whole room has been plunged into a dim twilight.

The Demon King had already sat back on the seat next to him, casually flipping through the book in his hand.With his face turned away from the window, Metvia couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could guess that the Demon King's mood at this time must be calm and somewhat proud.

The smarter the person, the more arrogant and narcissistic he will be in his temperament, especially the devil is still young, his life is smooth sailing, and he has not suffered many real setbacks. Such an achievement will make him compare himself with others Separated from people, especially when facing people who have no capital, some contempt will subconsciously arise.

Not to mention, his current status is the devil king, high above him, he already has the confidence to look down on others.Metvia had a personality similar to his for a while, and she could understand the psychology of the Demon King to a certain extent.

"It's really unexpected that you can guess my previous plan so thoroughly." Without hesitating for too long, Metvia said with emotion, as if he had already made a compromise with the Demon King.

Metvia's character is a simple-tempered, straight-forward person, so when she faces the smart devil, it is normal for her to choose to bow down, and she will not make the devil suspect.

The more powerful the demons are, the more they know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is rare for them to be as unyielding as humans.The Demon King must have experienced many similar situations along the way, and he will become more and more sure that her identity will not have anything to do with the human race.

When the Demon King heard her words, he did not react abnormally.He smiled naturally, and gently closed the book in his hand.

"Then would you like to explain why you suddenly changed your mind and wanted to assassinate me just now?"

His tone was gentle, with a hint of discussion, and he was approachable, and he seemed to have no dislike for Metvia's actions just now.

Even in his heart, Metvia is already a doll that he can control, but he still has to show no trace of the superficial courtesy.

Just as Metvia expected, the Demon King needs her ability very much now, and he will not kill her at all. Instead, he intends to get close to her, control her, and let her continue to be used by him, even if he has just been unfavorable to him Pass.

As long as his assassination ended in failure and would not cause him much harm, a wise man like the Demon King would have the courage to forgive her regardless of past suspicions.

And Metvia, who understood this, was also very kind. She quickly moved her body, slightly bent her tense back, and made a gesture of being slightly moved by the Demon King.

After hesitating for a moment, she sighed and lowered her head completely.

"Why did I assassinate you...Actually, you should be able to guess it," she said helplessly, "I did that to you just now, but you still treat me sincerely, which makes me feel very guilty."

She didn't say the reason directly, and there was some hesitation in her tone, like a person who wanted to admit defeat and surrender but was a little uncertain.

Conceding defeat too quickly and simply will also make people suspicious. This kind of half-push and half-acceptance, and the attitude of needing a few more good words from the devil will make the devil more at ease.

"You don't need to say that, Mr. Black Robe, you are totally worthy of my treatment."

Seeing that her attitude had softened, the Demon King continued to appease her: "You have a straightforward personality, so I won't continue to talk insincere words, and tell you frankly that for the sake of inheritance, I need your help very much now. What I have done Everything is just hoping to get your approval, you don't need to feel guilty."

For the straight-hearted people played by Metvia, instead of saying meaningful and suggestive words, it is better to directly state their goals and be honest with each other, which will make them less vigilant and disliked, and feel more at ease , and are more persuasive.

"Besides, you suddenly changed your mind and assassinated me just now. There must be some troubles. I have asked you for help. I should solve the troubles for you. You can tell me about the troubles. Come to help you solve it." The Demon King said softly.

After hearing this, Metvia slowly moved her body, but she remained silent.

She raised her head and looked at the Demon King through the bamboo hat, her eyes also showed some doubts, she seemed to be moved by the Demon King, but she didn't particularly believe in the Demon King, so she hesitated for a while.

Seeing her like this, the Demon King knew in his heart that he was only one step away from breaking the black-robed man's heart.

"Although you may not believe me, you have no solution, right? Besides, it won't do you any harm to tell me about your troubles."

Metvia finally realized that the Demon King is very good at talking.

At this time, Metvia was on the loser's side, seriously injured, and was suppressed by two demon saints and could not move. However, the demon king who was on the dominant side did not threaten her at all, but comforted her very kindly.

Young and ambitious, she is so gentle and careless towards enemies who hurt her. If Metvia hadn't been deeply ensnared by the devil's vicious means, she would have been deceived by the devil's hypocritical appearance.Fortunately, she was still wearing a bamboo hat, so the Demon King couldn't see her face clearly, and couldn't see the slightly mocking indifference on her face.

As soon as the demon king's words fell, her back that was still tight completely relaxed, and the fighting spirit in her whole body suddenly dissipated, as if she had been completely persuaded by the demons.

"His Royal Highness, you are an admirable person," she said, "Then I will tell you why I suddenly attacked you."

Before she came to look for the Demon King, she specially asked Bai Wanwan to buy a magic staff, and in this dilapidated town, only the auction house could buy better weapons.

It takes a long time to buy things in the auction house. At present, it seems that she should come back.

Metvia's tone was tinged with imperceptible sarcasm, which was noticed by the Demon King.However, when the devil saw the man in black robe in front of him bowing his head and looking extremely pious, he did not suspect him, but he thought it was because he was too sensitive and misheard.

"The reason why I attacked you is because of a person, you should have seen, the woman with black hair and black eyes beside me."

As Metvia was talking, she couldn't help but think of Bai Wanwan, her words and deeds, and her tone was filled with sweetness.

This slight change in emotion was immediately noticed by the Demon King.His eyes moved, as if he had realized something.

"You like her?" he asked.

Metvia nodded: "Yeah... I like her."

"But you also know that she is me, or my family, who has prepared for a long time to dedicate to you. Most of our family members are low-level demons, and we don't have many connections and backgrounds in the secular world. Come back, we must rely on your power."

She first affirmed the devil's guess, and said that her real purpose was related to him.

"Although I have a crush on her, she is just a slave after all. If it is only about this aspect, I will not take action against you, Your Highness."

It's just that the thinking of politicians is mostly rational, and emotions don't influence them too much.Just talking about feelings, the Demon King doesn't believe a lot. Therefore, Metvia needs to add [-]% of other factors in addition to his feelings for Bai Wanwan.

I don't know what came to mind, Metvia's tone changed and became serious: "These days, there have been some minor changes in my family, maybe they saw that Wan is of no use to you, so a side relative proposed another In the name of Guan, I want to dedicate her to the old devil's staff instead, so as to gain the support of the old devil's line of demons."

She didn't say it out loud, but the Demon King quickly understood what she meant.

The hidden big family she talked about seemed to be a group of low-level demons, so it was absolutely impossible to seek refuge in the family, and would be looked down upon by the family.If they want to gain benefits, they can only start with the devil and the old devil.

And it just so happened that they had a woman with black hair and black eyes that both camps needed.

"We chose you at the beginning because you are also from a low-level demon race, and you may not mind our bloodline," Metvia explained contemptuously, "Then when I know about the inheritance, I know that you may also People with black hair and black eyes are no longer needed, so I am naturally happier."

But she is willing, her family does not agree.

Many things became clear in the eyes of the devil in an instant.

Because of confidentiality reasons, the black-robed man probably did not tell the family members about the inheritance, but also because of this, those in "his" family who have high-mindedness and low-handedness, and want to obtain high status from the beginning, naturally look down on those who need to work hard to achieve success. The demon king who has gained status is here.

Bloodline is a very important thing in the demon clan, skills and resources can be regarded as acquired, but bloodline can determine the talent and wisdom of a demon clan.The Demon King can be regarded as a gene mutation demon that has been rarely seen for thousands of years, and he grew up among the lower demons, so he must know what the IQ of the lower demons is like.

Just like the black-robed man in front of him, his character is straightforward when he is good, but stupid when he is bad, and he can't see the situation clearly.

"The people in the family asked me to assassinate you, and then went to the old devil's staff, pretending to have snatched Wan from you, and then offered Wan up... In this way, they will see that I have offered a black haired black man. For the sake of the eye-catching person seriously injuring you again, you will definitely be able to give me a good position."

What a stupid idea.The devil thought to himself.

This is really a stupid idea that only low-level demons can come up with.

If he had a black-haired, black-eyed person with a huge family behind him, why would he bother to curry favor with other people and directly promote the black-haired, black-eyed woman as the reincarnation of a demon god? The fourth faction other than the power group does not need to work under other people's hands, but also depends on people's faces.

Not to mention, just a contribution made by a person would not be able to gain much power from those foxes. At most, they would reward this man in black with a lot of money.If a stupid low-level demon really wants to seize power in their hands, the difficulty is no different from going to the sky.

In this way, the black-robed man was caught in the middle, unwilling to go against the family, but also didn't want to go against his heart, so he hesitated and finally made the act of not putting in all his strength to assassinate him, which made sense.
