The Demon King is someone who is restless without stirring up trouble.

Ah Xion already recognized this nature. Simply put, this Demon King was persuading himself to take down Doro using some dubious potion while also tempting Rose to drug Doro directly...

Is the only tactic in this person's mind really just drugging? Besides, Doro and Lisidorwei got married without any potions!

This shows that it's not a matter of potions at all!

It feels more like Mohe is very confident in her potion, yet no one wants to try it, so she always wants to push it onto others. However, she feels using it on ordinary people wouldn't be fitting, wasting her efforts, so she insists that it must be used on Hero A·Gedora, only then would it not disgrace her creation.

Speaking of breeding dragons...

No wonder it's said that dragons can now only occasionally be seen on the endless oceans, but not on land, which probably has something to do with the Demon King. They must be scared stiff by Mohe.

The Demon King wants me to go to the Ice and Snow Country. In fact, she indeed can go now. After all, nominally, I've already betrayed the Human Central Empire, so standing with the Snow Elves of the Ice and Snow Kingdom is only natural, but what can I really do there?

Even though she is the Sword Saint, the Human Central Empire is not without other strongholds of those bearing the "Saint" name or the "Empire" name. Back then, the Hero's party was able to solo the Demon King because there were many other strong forces fighting against the Demon Race's army.

If Mohe wants to intervene in this war, relying on her alone won't be enough.

Of course, this Demon King doesn't have a reason to send her to her death either, logically speaking, she should have some plans...

However, Ah Xion was a bit afraid.

She knows herself to be a foolish woman, her past has given her enough painful lessons. If she acts rashly, she might easily fall into Mohe's trap and do something that would cause A·Gedora pain. If Gedora chooses not to intervene, how can I explain my involvement?

What exactly is going on in Gedora's mind?

How would Elf, the Snow Elf, face such a destiny?

It is because she knows her own foolishness that she hesitates, hesitating whether to agree to the Demon King's demands.

But she has no time left to hesitate.

Once the war starts in the Ice and Snow Country, all choices will lose their meaning. She no longer has time to think. She must quickly provide an answer.

So, although reckless, she entered Doro's cabin.

"Is Lisidorwei not here?"

Doro was reading a book at the moment and put it down beside him: "Lisidorwei isn't always by my side, she's out buying things. Isn't Mohe planning to expand the cultivation scale this year? Everything needs to be prepared; it seems she doesn't want a repeat of last year's situation."

He was referring to the time when Doro attacked Charlette, almost destroyed the manor, and Lisidorwei used magic to save the vines, but the grape quality was reduced.

Of course, the notion of 'last year' is based on the previous calendar; according to the new era, it isn't the new year yet, as the defeat of the Demon King marks the new year.

"Do you have something to discuss?"

"Yes."

Since Doro's thoughts couldn't be discerned, she decided to ask him directly, while silently praying it wouldn't be a bad decision: "I want to ask your opinion on Elf. In fact, the Demon King wants me to go to the Ice and Snow Kingdom, but she's not saying what she expects me to do there."

"She wants you to go?"

Doro fell into thought.

Ah Xion continued: "If you want to save Elf, I can force her to leave, even though I may not be able to defeat her. But I think if I express that it's your will, she might not refuse. However, to take away the entire Snow Elf tribe, I cannot do."

She clearly stated her capabilities and acknowledged that what she could do was very limited.

Moreover, claiming to take Elf away was somewhat boastful, not because of her weakness, but because the power of the Human Central Empire remains largely unknown, and she doesn't possess Gedora's ability to ignore everything with sheer strength. Yet Gedora is not someone who can dismiss everything.

"In the beginning, I met Elf and I told her I would make the Snow Elves stand proudly before the world. Even though they were indeed guilty of crimes in the past, exiled to the far Northern Lands by the Elf race, over the years their sins should have been cleansed by now. They deserve to stand under the sun, live in the forests cherished by the Elves, and embrace the vast nature."

Doro suddenly recalled the past with a complex expression: "But it seems I didn't truly fulfill that promise. Elf's choice was correct. I've somewhat understood the situation. After my incident, she led the Snow Elf clan back into the snow over countless nights; all Snow Elves heed her decisions—she truly is a charming person."

"Given that..."

"Precisely because of this, I cannot make a move," Doro slowly closed his eyes, "because it wasn't a decision made by Elf herself. Someone, whether it's Adriana, hidden Nephilim, or the Elf Kingdom, or the Dwarf Kingdom, or any alliance among smaller races… In any case, Elf does not solely represent herself, nor merely the Snow Elves."
