The Demon King's Destruction Day and God's Creation Day are two crucial festivals for the people of this world.

Relatively speaking, the Demon King's Destruction Day is closer to human history, so the New Year is defined by the Demon King's Destruction Day. There are twenty-eight days between God's Creation Day and the Demon King's Destruction Day. Nearly a month—this festival is hosted mainly by the church for everyone, while the church also holds some activities for the Demon King's Destruction Day, though not as grand, but God's Creation Day is the church's main activity time.

After the Demon King's Destruction Day appeared, the church usually treats it as a rehearsal, and only on God's Creation Day will there be truly grand activities.

During this event, the church will praise the greatness of God, and correspondingly, there will be performances of song and dance alongside the highly anticipated "Prayer Ritual." Everyone prays together for God's mercy upon the people.

In the church's narrative theme, the defeat of the Demon King is not the story of the Hero A·Gedora and his brave and battle-ready hero team. Rather, it is recorded in the "Holy Record."

"When the darkness of the Demon King enveloped the world, God descended with His guidance, the Holy Sword led at the hero's side. The hero picked up the Holy Sword, feeling the pull of destiny, and embarked on his first step of adventure..." Such records are described in detail in the "Holy Record."

It's worth mentioning, as recorded in the "Holy Record":

"The Demon King is God's warning to the world, embodying the evil thoughts of mankind. If human's malicious thoughts persist, the Demon King will remain forever. Yet God is ultimately merciful; He did not abandon humanity"—such words describe the church's portrayal of the Demon King, asserting that the Demon King is still an agent of God, used to warn mankind.

You might ask, why doesn't God directly eliminate the Demon King?

That is because God has given people a chance; He wants to see if humanity can save itself.

At this moment, Mohe is looking at such a "Holy Record," written on the cover is "Holy Record · Volume Four."

"What do you think, Mr. Doro, about the depiction in the 'Holy Record'?"

Doro once thought the "Holy Record" was the church's great work, a chronicle that deciphers the origin of the world, but after truly encountering the Demon King, he had a different view: "You don't really regard God. You have no reverence for God, and your domination of the world isn't due to human evil. The 'Holy Record' has no reference value."

"Then what do you think of our Miss Rose?" Mohe asked with a smile, closing the book. "What method will she use to place the wood carving I made on the church stage of the Human Central Empire?"

Doro shook his head: "She might have her own way. All I can be certain of is, she has no respect for the church."

"Oh?"

"I was the one who saved their village back then, and their village had actually sought aid from the church—not that the church didn't extend a hand, at that time your pressure was too great, the church truly couldn't spare any manpower... Whether the church wanted to help, whether they had the energy, they weren't saved by the church, and that's a fact; she has always had opinions about the church."

"That's unexpected," Mohe wasn't too concerned about it, "then let's believe she can succeed."

Her gaze floated casually, landing on Doro: "You've been drinking a lot less these past two days, even though it seems you haven't quit."

Doro scratched his head awkwardly: "Alcoholism has become a habit; quitting will take some time, but it shouldn't be long."

"You better not really quit; we are a winery here. Even though it hasn't officially started production yet, if the winery's own people don't drink the wine it produces, then the quality of the wine would seem concerning. What you need is to change the old habit of heavy drinking and become a wine tasting expert."

"Isn't that a bit too demanding? I heard those experts are all from minor noble families, who have tasted many grades of wine worldwide; that's quite a costly profession. I was born in a farming family; how can I do this?"

Mohe chuckled lightly: "People always feel like this when doing unfamiliar things. Drink more and you'll learn. And besides, how can you face Charlette without drinking?"

Doro's pupils shrank slightly; he couldn't help but fall silent.

"Even in silence, this is a problem that needs facing." The girl's pupils seemed to blossom with a certain light, "As far as I know, she wronged you. Why don't you dare to meet her? Logically, she should be the one afraid to meet you."

"I..."

Doro couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Mohe smirked: "Ah~ I understand, you like her, don't you?"

"No!"

"Isn't it?"

"Perhaps I used to... but now..."

Mohe's expression grew even more mocking: "You're truly a coward, A·Gedora, daring to wield a sword against me, the Demon King, and dismember me, yet so timid when facing a woman. You don't even dare to confront the reality that 'she has already betrayed me,' trying not to meet her and then telling yourself inwardly... maybe she was forced, maybe she had no choice, maybe she doesn't really not love me... don't you find it ridiculous? Even in a circus play, this would be the role of a clown."

Doro felt extremely embarrassed, his face burned. Mohe's words were so poignant that he wanted to retort loudly but found himself unable.

Similarly down-and-out, the once-defeated Demon King never gave up—

It was just luck that he defeated her.

If there was another chance, definitely...

Seeing him remain silent, Mohe's expression grew boring; could this former hero not even argue? Frankly, it was quite disappointing, but she soon collected her expression: "Let's talk business, Doro, how will you face Charlette? I don't care about your internal feelings, the emotional issues between you two, the matter of who betrayed whom, whether there are hidden secrets I don't know about... none of it concerns me, but Doro, I want my right hand back."

Her aim was very clear, so much so she even said: "In the previous deal, I can even give you some pricing. While altering the nature of faith, I slightly sensed Charlette's intensity. Frankly, my previous offer wasn't generous; retrieving my right hand allows me to help heal your wounds, extend Lisidorwei's life, remove the curse within you. But you know, this requires me to retrieve the right hand to accomplish."

"Raising the price like this during a deal is not a wise move, is it?"

"Depends on the trading partner. You are the one who killed me... whether you are A·Gedora or Doro, you are worth it."
