It has to be said, even if the Demon King bore goodwill and wanted me to tread the higher path of Alchemy, the method is a bit too cruel.

Until this day, whenever Adeline uses Alchemy, the shadow in her heart still emerges. She can't properly use Alchemy.

Perhaps, she really should attempt the so-called Human Alchemy.

In a whole new field, she might be able to rediscover her confidence.

She visited the tower once again.

"Charlette..."

"Ah... Adeline, you're just in time." Surprisingly, Charlette seemed to be about to find Adeline, "I just have something to tell you."

Something to tell me?

"Is it about him?"

Charlette nodded: "Yes, it's about him. Eluf was killed by the Elf Queen over ten years ago — this information we did not know, Adriana maintained her existence through Undead Magic, hiding the matter very deeply... We never expected such things to happen. In order to avenge Eluf, he destroyed the Land of the Ancestors of the Elf Kingdom, killing the Elf Queen. When death approached, the Elf Queen sent the high-level elves and the last vitality of the Elf Mother Tree into endless space."

All of a sudden, too much information crowded into Adeline's brain,.

After understanding what exactly happened, she wore a bitter expression: "He took action, huh..."

"Yes, he took action. If I remember correctly, the first time seeing the Elf Queen, she embraced him warmly. Back then, we seemed to have a little misunderstanding with him for two days because of it — did such things happen?" Charlette suddenly recalled the past.

The scenes of the past surfaced before her. Adeline suddenly wanted to cry, but she held back: "Yes, you're right, Charlette — it seems he wouldn't hesitate to kill us."

"Last time he intended to kill me."

Charlette's voice was very calm, as if she had no emotional fluctuations. Does she not care about this at all?

No...

"The Wise King sent over a plan." Charlette suddenly said, "It seems this matter has greatly provoked him, making the man who always thinks he can control everything feel agitated."

Adeline looked at Charlette in confusion.

Charlette handed over a plan document.

"Second Hero Nurturing Plan?"

Adeline was stunned: "No, Frodonick was reportedly defeated by Gedora like a stray on the roadside, with Ah Xion personally stepping in to clean things up — how is it possible to bring up this plan again? Has the Wise King finally snapped under immense pressure, losing his mind?"

Her words were not without blame.

"This plan is somewhat different, have a look first. It requires your cooperation."

"My cooperation..."

After Adeline seriously read through it, she closed the plan book and fell into deep contemplation.

Charlette then spoke: "What do you think, just from looking at this plan, isn't it feasible? Plus, the probability of success is quite high."

"Using the Demon King's eyes stored by the Dwarves to analyze the composition of the Hero, divided into body and soul, using the heart symbolizing Combat Technique as the raw material for the body, and the kidney symbolizing the undead as the raw material for the soul, not to nurture another Hero, but to directly create an A·Gedora..."

Adeline scratched her head, feeling something was amiss: "The plan looks perfect, but even if executed perfectly, wouldn't it just make another Gedora? What's the point of that? And isn't it strange? Can the Demon King's three organs reproduce another Gedora? Why was the Demon King defeated by Gedora then? Don't you think something is odd? But theoretically, I don't see any issues..."

The plan reveals its feasibility.

"Moreover, it wouldn't be easy to even get those organs, right? Even for the Wise King — his influence might not be that extensive. Especially after successive setbacks, some races might make different considerations. The death of the Elf Queen... Even I can foresee the arrival of terrifying waves from this event, don't tell me you guys are unaware. People must revise their perception of the Demon King and the Hero."

The action in the Elf Kingdom might "awaken" the world.

Previously when you said A·Gedora was dealing with demons and becoming a pawn of the Demon King, everyone said "Yes, this is so."

Because everyone knew A·Gedora wouldn't truly do that. This was a way to curry favor with the Human Central Empire. After all, there was no substantial loss.

But now it's different.

He really dealt with demons.

He indeed took action, and his action was to uproot the Land of the Ancestors of the Elves directly — bluntly speaking, now Doro openly goes to a race or a nation, saying "I am the culprit of the destruction of the Elf Kingdom, what do you think?"

Surely someone would jump out and say "It's all the Elf Kingdom's fault, you, however, are blameless" or the like, then welcome the great A·Gedora back to the esteemed position of the Hero.

After all, he really might wipe out a city, and sturdier than the Land of the Ancestors... Frankly, Adeline couldn't think of such a place for a while.

Now, even if Gedora says he dealt with demons, people can't nod in agreement, or people might say "actually the Demon Race is also good guys."

Just like in the days of the Demon King's rule.

Of course, there will be those reacting slowly, or whose minds are inflexible — these people might not even need A·Gedora to move; someone might voluntarily "clean up" in hopes of gaining a bit of favor from A·Gedora.

"In such a situation, the Wise King dares to propose this plan... Honestly, my opinion of him has somewhat changed," Adeline couldn't help feeling a bit of a toothache, "Will you execute this plan?"

Charlette nodded: "There's no reason not to execute it."

"Have you thought it through? This plan, regardless of whether it can succeed, if he truly teams up with the Demon King, even if theoretically the Second Hero is equal in strength to him, and has the advantage with the Hero's Sword and Hero's Armor, we still have to deal with the Demon King." Adeline had to emphasize this issue.

Charlette had evidently considered this issue: "I will ask for divine intervention, the Demon King will be opposed by the great deity."

"...Though the plan seems perfect, think it through. If this plan fails, by then here, and the Royal Capital Holy Tower, might become the next Land of the Ancestors. Can the Central Empire withstand that, or the White Church?"

"Every matter carries its risks, Adeline — in the past when various races rebelled against the Demon Race's rule, it was with the resolve to fight back against total annihilation. Wasn't the risk greater back then? It was possible to disregard everything then, but not now?"

Adeline couldn't argue with Charlette, she had to ask: "Do you really want to kill him so much? From my last meeting with him, if you don't provoke him, he probably won't do anything — his life is very peaceful now."

"He has become akin to the Demon King."

"But even so…"

"Do you think he could really coexist with the Demon King peacefully? Though I scoff at Adriana's so-called balance remark, fundamentally, treating the world as his own possession, isn't the best way for the only two entities just like between the Demon King and the God?"

Adeline was stunned.

"Did you learn something from the God?"

"As I told you before, no matter how close they seem — Adeline, he and the Demon King are never one entity. By that time, the world might directly fracture; it's not impossible."
