Chapter 361: Hostility of the Demihumans
Chapter 361: Hostility of the Demihumans
Miss was startled by Petra's sudden surprise and looked in the direction of her finger.
In the darkness, a figure slowly emerged from the cell opposite.
The only difference is that this "person" has a pair of big, round ears.
"Demi-humans?"
Mis confirmed that there were no demon guards around, raised his hand and summoned a magic to light up the surroundings.
There were noises coming from all the nearby cells, and the prisoners imprisoned here walked into the light one after another.
"Sidro, Kohler, Weiss Lilith!"
Petra looked at the familiar faces in front of her, feeling sad and surprised.
I feel sad because all my neighbors and friends in the internment zone have become prisoners of the demons.
The surprise was that they were all still alive.
"Is this voice Petra?"
"Petra, you are here as expected."
"We are all doomed to be imprisoned here."
Miss looked around and counted them one by one, and found that the number of demihumans in the cells was roughly the same as the number of magic eyes possessed by the [Judge] team.
"Sure enough, just as I thought, Hobert is exchanging the Demi-Human Swordsmen and the Demons for the Demon Eye."
After reopening his mind, Mis still couldn't understand why this deal existed.
In such a deal, the demons obviously cannot gain any advantage at all.
Even the most ordinary magic eye, when used by humans, will significantly improve the magician's combat effectiveness.
But the subhuman swordsmen that the demons exchanged for were all locked up in the dungeon.
What's the point of doing this?
While Miss was lost in thought, Petra was trying to calm her companions.
"Don't be sad, I will definitely rescue you all."
The demihuman who first spotted Petra looked at Miss and asked, "Petra, who is he? Is he also a member of the Judge team?"
Suddenly, the demihumans in other cells focused their attention on Miss.
According to their personal experience, every time the [Judge] team explores the demon world, they only leave behind the sub-human members of the team.
Miss's appearance clearly did not look like a subhuman, and he was wearing an armband that was familiar to them all.
When Petra heard this question, she proudly replied, "Miss is my good friend, and he is amazing."
The girl held her head high and spoke in a firm voice as she spoke these words. She didn't sound like a poor little girl who had just been thrown into a cell.
When Petra was halfway through her introduction, Missy shuddered all over and realized that something was wrong.
As expected, all the demihumans in the cell changed their peaceful expressions and revealed hateful looks without hesitation.
"Will the evil human race come to the rescue of us demi-humans? I can't trust him."
"He's wearing an armband, so he's definitely a member of the Judge team!"
"Are they here specifically to kill us and silence us?"
Seeing that everyone was very hostile towards Miss, Petra panicked instantly.
"No, it's not what you think. Miss is a good person, different from the other members of the Judge team!"
Her explanation didn't work, the other demihumans couldn't believe her.
"Petra, you must have been deceived by him, otherwise how could you be caught here?"
"He is a human. Without these evil humans, our family and I would not be taken to the internment camp, nor would we be trapped in the demon world."
"Hobert and the Judge team are demons who use the lives of our people for their own benefit!"
The cell soon became lively, with the demihumans talking in various ways, all expressing their hatred towards Miss.
"Miss is a hero, a hero recognized by the Adventurer's Association, not a bad guy!"
No matter how Petra explained, it seemed pale and powerless. For a moment, she was a little flustered and anxious, almost crying.
Suddenly, a male demihuman in the farthest cell called a halt to the war of words.
He stretched his head and carefully observed Miss in the distance, with a look of surprise.
"It's really Mr. Meese!"
When Miss heard someone recognize him, he also looked into the distance.
Looking at the pair of big furry ears, a picture emerged in his mind.
That was three years ago, in the city of Rezewitt.
His first meeting with Hobart.
There was a male demihuman in the Judge team following Hobert at the time.
"It's you? The Rezewitt City in the Borderlands three years ago?"
Seeing that Miss remembered him, the male demihuman nodded vigorously.
"My dear hero, I never thought that I would have the chance to see you again!"
After he followed the team out of the Borderlands, he heard the announcement released by the Adventurer's Association and learned that Miss had won the title of "Brave".
The honor of meeting the brave man made him happy for a long time, and he even boasted about it to Petra.
"Chester?"
Petra was very happy that someone stood up to speak for Miss.
The other demihumans looked at Chester, "What's going on? Does Chester also know this human?"
Chester nodded and said, "At that time, Hobert took us to arrest people, and the people they arrested were Mr. Meese and his group. I think Mr. Meese and Hobert's group are not the same kind of people."
Afterwards, he also confirmed the identity of the Miss Warrior.
Although Chester's words made other demihumans change their views on Miss, some still couldn't believe that the human race would save them.
Faced with such a situation, Mis did not think about proving anything.
Because he didn't come here specifically to save these demihumans.
He has only one target, Lisia.
Miss looked at Chester, "The Judge team used you to exchange the Demon Eye with the demons before, right?"
Chester was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Miss, this is a deal, a deal between Hobert and the Demon King Jielais."
Mis thought for a moment, "It's this Jilais again."
The first time he heard this name was from Shurel in Sky Island Dragon City.
"Why did the Demon King obtain the Demihuman Swordsman?"
Chester replied, "In order to learn swordplay, he has been asking us to teach him swordplay since he captured us. Nothing else."
Mis narrowed his eyes slightly, "That's why you are still alive today."
Chester looked a little worried. "I heard that the Demon King recently captured an extremely powerful female swordsman. It seems that he no longer needs us."
