Devil [GL]

The pattern of Eswino, after hundreds of years, has undergone many changes, but there are not many changes.

The most surprising thing is the low-key and stealthy behavior of the demons.

Since the demon king Metvia defeated other political enemies 600 years ago and succeeded in becoming the demon king, she has changed from the previous high-profile actions of the demons, quickly withdrawing the power of the demons from the human race, and at the same time chose to move the demon domain to The farther and more remote border of the World of Warcraft forest has softened its attitude when dealing with other human countries.

Most of the time, she is like a silent background board, not expressing any views on the situation of the human race, and rarely getting involved in the struggle between the human race, and even willing to make concessions to the human race at special times.

Hundreds of years have passed, and in the hearts of everyone, the current Demon Lord Metvia is just a woman who is indecisive and has little ability.There are even many human beings who habitually discriminate against women, secretly laughing in their hearts, thinking that women really have no political opinions.

Only a few highly educated and discerning people can perceive the deep meaning behind Metvia's behavior.

"She is not so much weakening the existence of the demons...it is better to say that she is weakening the hatred of the human race towards the demons."

Some people have speculated about Metvia's abnormal behavior during private gatherings.

They are usually different from most of the civilians outside. They have a very appreciative attitude towards Metvia, and they can't hide their praise in words: "After all, the demons have oppressed and enslaved the human race for nearly 200 years, and after she came to power, With the combination of new and old hatred, many human races have long had deep grudges against the demon race, and even among the people, there have been more than a dozen reactionary/reactionary organizations from all over the world..."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it", this is a simple truth that Bai Wanwan understands.

In Eswino, most of the countries are under the monarchy, power and resources are concentrated on the royal family and nobles, the common people rarely have the opportunity to read and write, and it is difficult for the common people to have talented fighters or magic division.

In the former Eswinor, most of the common people believed in the church and believed in gods.And because the gods fell one by one, coupled with the failure of the Holy See in the power struggle, many civilians gradually lost their faith after being launched on the political stage.

They began to put their hearts on the nobles, hoping that those high-ranking nobles could bring them a better life.

"Whether it is an era of war or an era of peace, it will never be nobles who make sacrifices, only civilians. At the beginning, Metvia's wedding ceremony continued to be popular in the capital of the Werther Empire, and some people even held her in high esteem. Goodwill, this is because they are in an absolutely safe and prosperous place, and they cannot feel the real pain caused by the war."

Most of the people who can live in the imperial capital are either related to the nobles, big or small, or are wealthy businessmen who are good at business, because they live in the most critical part of the empire, and they are always in absolute control. Inside the high-level defense cover, they are carefree, as long as they have interests, they can let them abandon their frivolous "hatred".

However, the carefree lives of those living in the imperial capital were built with the blood and bones of the common people at the bottom.

They cannot feel the cruelty of war, the pain of losing their loved ones and the despair of facing death, because someone has blocked these things from their sight.

And their behavior of being close to the demons will indeed deeply disappoint the civilians who have suffered and humiliated by the war.

"The more and more disappointments, the stronger the backlash will be, and once a large number of civilians participate in the conspiracy, the noble class that the demons have finally moved with their interests will be cleaned up, and when the time comes, they want to live in peace with the human race again. Living together in Esvino, the difficulty will undoubtedly be greatly increased."

No one side will always have the upper hand, the law of heaven is always fair, the demons will defeat the human race, and the human race will retaliate for all the pain after being oppressed.

And what Metvia wanted to stop was the gradual decline of the Demon Race.

"In order to prevent the demons from being backlashed by the human race, we chose to protect ourselves by making clear our responsibilities, which greatly relieved the pressure on the high-level human race, allowing them to shift their attention to the disobedient civilians after losing their 'external troubles', and turn to deal with the 'internal problems'. Suffering' is indeed a very good means," they said.

Hate is something that is easily forgotten, but hard to forget.

The common people at the bottom who have experienced war will continue their hatred for the demons because of the death of their relatives and the hardships of life. However, once the demons lower their stance or even take the initiative to give in, their hatred will be transferred to the ruling on the person.

When Bai Wanwan was studying history, he had been puzzled for a long time, why many rebels didn't like to become kings by themselves in the end. They clearly held the power, but they didn't take office themselves, but preferred to set up a puppet emperor under their hands.

What good is that?Although the emperor obeyed them, it would also cause hidden dangers.

This confusion has always been deeply rooted in Bai Wanwan's heart. Sometimes when talking about power issues, she also asked Metvia to find out what this woman who is proficient in political affairs thinks.

Unlike Bai Wanwan's confusion, Metvia showed a slight approval after hearing this sentence.

"It's a very sensible behavior to do this," Metvia said to Bai Wanwan, "because people's emotions are very weird, they are easy to vent their anger, and it is easy to transfer their hatred from the people they should hate. Transferred to another person who is also a victim."

If those invaders were not oppressed to start the war, if those people’s motives were only out of desire for power and interests, then they are changing dynasties with impure motives and becoming queens themselves, and the civilians have been tortured by the war , will release the pain to the new emperor.

Just like the Demon Race, if the Demon Race directly replaces the ruler of the empire and becomes the new ruler, most of the human race will hate the Demon Race because of this.

"But if, instead of becoming rulers, they support the original emperor as a puppet, then the people the common people hate will change from invaders to those puppet emperors."

Therefore, when the demons backed down and said that they would not touch the emperor's rule as long as they got some convenience, the commoners would move their hatred away from the demons and transfer it to the emperor.

They will think that the emperor is fatuous and incompetent, and they will spurn the cowardice of the nobles. Even in this war, the emperor and the nobles are actually victims, even if the people they should really hate should be the demons.

And such a psychological strategy of skillfully diverting hatred, Bai Wanwan can already feel it in his daily life.

From a young age, in order to force students to learn, parents usually set up a target, a "child from other people's family" to urge students to study.However, in the process of persecution, their children will get bored and hate it. It is not the parents who really persecute them, but the "other people's children" who are used as targets for no reason.

From a large perspective, until now, many flower growers do not hate the eight-nation coalition/army who were the invaders at the time, but feel that the Qing Dynasty was incompetent, even though it was the coalition/army that really launched the war and brought disaster.

Although these people in power do have some deficiencies, but because of these ingenious means, the perpetrators skillfully threw off their own packages, making themselves completely innocent.And those puppets are therefore forced to bear all the hatred and responsibilities, even though these responsibilities have far exceeded the scope they should have borne.

Metvia is well versed in the psychological tactics that superiors should master, so in a series of actions, she can easily grasp some flaws in the actions of the upper echelons of the Werther Empire, and transfer the hatred she should have borne to the Empire .

Especially 200 years ago, she directly retreated behind the scenes and took the initiative to go back to the dark side of the mainland, leaving only most of the demon clan and a few subordinates who could speak on her behalf in the demon realm.

In this way, all the resistance forces that the human race was about to burst out of the chrysalis were used in the internal struggle.

Metvia doesn't care too much about these, as long as it doesn't affect her or go beyond her control, she won't pay too much attention.

She will only appropriately use some insignificant means to stabilize the interests of the nobles and the emperor, making it difficult for those civil rebels to really overthrow their rule.

The only thing that surprised her was that one of the leaders of these rebel organizations was actually an acquaintance of hers——

Bruno Post.

It is the person she has helped, and the person who has extended countless helping hands to her.

After cultivating to a higher level, Bruno naturally gained thousands of lifespans.The Post family has long been submerged in the change of power, and Bruno obviously doesn't care much about the Post family that is currently in twilight.

After learning that he would choose to rebel, Metvia was actually not that shocked.

Bruno had seen her at her most out of control and darkest when she was first awakened, so after many years, Bruno still had a grudge against her.

He always felt that Metvia would not just live in such a stable and low-key manner. He believed in his intuition. He believed that such a Metvia would lose control one day and bring immeasurable disasters to the world.

Metvia didn't care about his opinion at all.

There are so many people talking about her now, and countless people mocking her. If she was someone who cared about other people's evaluation, she would not have chosen to take this path from the very beginning.

Not to mention, after so many years, since that person died, there are very few things that she cares about.

Did you do it on purpose, Wanwan, did you propose to me on purpose to let me know that I can't forget you at all, can't get rid of you?

Many times, whenever the flowers of Soul Winter bloom, Metvia can't help thinking like this.

After proposing that day, she finally silently chose one of the most suitable people to be her husband to marry.

It's just that on the wedding night, when she faced that strange and boring man, whose eyes were full of hypocrisy and calculations, she couldn't control the disgust in her heart, and she didn't even want to touch him.

The only pair of sincere and pure eyes that moved her heart, the only thing she was willing to get close to, were long gone.

In the end, she killed the husband who made people do evil on her wedding night, and she confirmed the rumors about killing her husband to preach.

"I don't need a marriage. As long as it makes me feel happy and improves my cultivation, so what if I kill a husband?"

Facing everyone's accusations, Metvia replied with a light smile.

But only she knew how empty and boring her heart was when she said this.

Missing is like a long and powerful poison/drug, corroding her whole body, making her like a walking dead, losing any emotions and any love.

You succeeded, Wanwan, I am really in pain now, I miss you very much.

Are you satisfied?

Will you... show up again?
