Just standing opposite the Snow Elf, Elf brought Doro's memories back to the past.

She was a very pure person.

Clearly a Snow Elf, yet unable to use magic; clearly her mannerisms were somewhat rough, yet she was more innocent than anyone.

"Elf, I'm sorry."

Doro actually had a lot to say before coming, but when he truly stood in front of Elf, all he could do was apologize: "I couldn't fulfill the promise between us."

Elf saw the sincere apology in Doro's eyes, and she just shook her head: "No, it's not your fault, it was their mistake. You were also a victim. You don't have to apologize to me; rather... I should thank you, Doro, thank you for coming."

Her gaze was also very sincere, and Doro was sure there was not a single false word in her expression.

"Elf..."

...

Mohe pulled Ah Xion along as they strolled through the Ice and Snow Kingdom: "Speaking of which, it's been years since I last came to such a cold place. Miss Xion, what do you think?"

"You want me to go back."

"Why would you go back? To disrupt someone else's emotional reunion?"

Mohe clearly didn't intend to let Ah Xion go: "Oh my! Don't worry so much, Elf is about on your level. If she can't take down Doro, there's no way she can use undead magic against the Thunder Emperor. I find it laughable just thinking about it now."

"What do you mean by 'about on my level'? Is my level that low?"

Mohe spread her hands: "That's what you said, not me."

Sometimes Ah Xion really wanted to give this girl a beating, but she didn't dare to act recklessly, because this woman was fundamentally different from her innocent appearance, being rather nasty overall.

She calmed herself down, as the Demon King was here, she could ask about some things she didn't quite understand.

"How do you think things should be handled here? Surely you have your own ideas?"

Mohe glanced at her: "Why do you care about that? When the time comes, just cut down whomever I tell you to. Why consider so much?"

She didn't hide her disdain for Sword Saint Ah Xion's mind at all: "Instead, why not take a stroll with me now? I want to see the artworks in the city. In such a remote place, the art style will be very different from the mainstream. It's something worth learning from, and I'm quite interested."

"You won't find that kind of thing. The Ice and Snow Kingdom is already under military control; there's no art for you to see. Didn't you notice there aren't many people on the streets? Besides, didn't you already turn into a crow and observe here long ago?"

Mohe chuckled twice: "You're not as stupid as I thought. I assumed you didn't know anything~"

"..."

Mohe brushed her hand across the snow accumulating on a railing, quickly molding it into a snowball: "If you want to know what I plan to do, you need to know first what Adriana wants to do. What the Human Central Empire wants to do."

"What do you mean?"

"... Can't you think for yourself?"

"I don't know."

Explaining her thoughts to this person felt a bit ridiculous, Mohe felt like it was a waste of breath.

"Ah, whatever, you won't be of much use anyway. I'll tell you then—though you might not believe it, well, in the end, this is a trap set by our beloved Hero Mr. A·Gedora!"

Ah Xion was stunned: "What?"

"Don't you understand?"

"No... you, who would understand this?"

Mohe looked at Ah Xion with pity: "That's why I said you might as well enjoy the view with me. But I think Mr. Doro himself should be somewhat prepared, so it's no problem. To put it simply, from the beginning, this war was born to eliminate Mr. Doro."

"Are you suggesting that Elf..."

"If you can't figure it out, do you think Elf can?"

Ignoring Mohe's disdainful look, Ah Xion wasn't bothered, being used to the Demon King's condescension: "Are you saying that Elf is being used as well?"

"Isn't that obvious? Adriana thinks Mr. Doro will become another me, so she can't wait to get rid of Mr. Doro. But winning against Doro directly is nothing more than a fantasy, so they set a trap, one that Doro is sure to fall into. Just like what they did to Doro before. But back then, they couldn't kill him..."

Even Ah Xion knew that Adriana was the one supporting Elf behind the scenes, but broadly speaking, people would believe that the Wise Person was supporting Elf for some sort of benefit. But this—

To kill Doro?

Did they hate him to this extent?

"What kind of expression is that?" Mohe asked Ah Xion with confusion, "You should understand their thoughts, right? The reason they want to kill Doro isn't because of their hatred, but because of their fear!"

Fear...

Ah Xion was taken aback: "Fear?"

"Yes, fear."

As she repeatedly pondered the word, Ah Xion, just as Mohe had said, seemed to understand a bit.

"So this isn't anything strange, the important issue isn't this," Mohe said with a smile, "The important issue is, what do you think Adriana will do to ensure this trap is effective against Mr. Doro? You know, in his battle with Charlette, and the fight in Butuo City, he has already demonstrated the power he possesses now. People like Adriana, even if they had some plans before, will surely make adjustments now. At least from her perspective, she is confident it will be a sure kill."
