Chapter 7 Merlo, Telling the Past
"Alice Nosfell, I said, I know what you are thinking, because strictly speaking, we are the same person."
"Melo...who are you? Why do you always say that we are the same person?"
Alice's question is something she has always wanted to know. There are too many mysteries in Melo. In addition to being the seventh evil star under the command of the Demon King Solomon, she is also the twin sister of the Demon King Solomon, and also the friend of Phyllia Nosfil, the ancestor of the Nosfil family where she is located, and the Saint Rosa Elena. She... has so many earth-shaking identities, who is she...?
"My identities are far more than these. In addition to the Demon Realm, I also have many identities in the human world, such as the real king of the War Kingdom and the president of the largest clothing store in the human world - mero. Are these identities not enough?"
Alice didn't expect that Melo still had so many identities in the human world, but what Melo said just now attracted her attention.
The real king of the kingdom of war.
"Melo, what does it mean when you said you were the real king of the War Kingdom?"
"I know you will ask me this, because the Kingdom of War was originally established by me, and... every generation of War Kings must be screened out by me personally."
"In other words, you are actually the one who holds the real power of the state. Are all the kings of the War Kingdom just your puppets?"
After hearing Alice said this, Melo was a little unhappy.
"It's a bit too much to say this. They are not puppets. I usually spend almost 99% of the time dealing with the official affairs of the demon world in the Demon Realm. I will only go there when the War Kingdom has to choose the new king. However, you shouldn't have mentioned this just to ask such boring questions, right?"
"That's right, this time the members of the "Sword of War King" will participate in the Holy Martial Festival. It should have been arranged by you secretly?"
"Haha, smart, you're right, the members of "Sword of War King" are indeed selected by me personally."
"Why did you want them to participate in the Holy Martial Festival?"
"My purpose is naturally to make Brother Solomon stronger. Today, Grandigne can be said to be the strongest among humans. If his brother wants to be completely resurrected, the first thing he has to do is to become the most powerful human in the world. Since that's the case... Grandigne is the best opponent and a wall he has to cross."
Alice could understand Melo's thoughts, so she did not continue to ask Melo about this question. Next, she asked Melo's previous questions again.
"I understand, then Melo, I'll ask you again, who are you?"
"Who am I? You will know sooner or later, no, you should say you have known it all the time."
Melo said this on purpose. If she was not mistaken, Alice would definitely say that next.
"Do you want to say what's wrong with me and you in your previous life?"
"I can't tell you, and what I'm going to tell you next is about Brother Solomon."
"…Solomon, that is, Lu's business."
"Well, I can only tell you something slight. Some... I can only tell you some clips, even just one sentence. And..."
When Melo said this, he paused for a moment, then looked at Alice with a strange smile.
"If you want to know, you have to ask, what do you ask, what will I answer."
“…”
Alice didn't know what Melo was going to do, and she didn't think Melo would tell her everything. What she would tell herself was definitely some clips that could be said but would not touch on some important content. She had just said this in advance.
But for Alice, even if it is a clip, she wants to know more about Lu.
"Melo, then I asked, Lu was once a human?"
Hearing Alice's question, Melo answered her almost in a second.
"Yes, it's not just Brother Solomon, but I was once the same human."
This question can only be considered a confirmation at most, and Alice wants to know the next question most.
"What exactly is the purpose of revealing to become a demon?"
This question Alice has always wanted to know, but... when asked about Lu before, Lu always said she didn't remember it, although she didn't know if Meilo would say it, but... she had to ask.
After hearing Alice's question, Melo hesitated for a moment, and after that, she said something strange.
"Sister Alice, have you heard of "Black Record"?"
"Black Records? What is that?"
"The so-called "Black Record" is a document that is collected in the demon world that only the demon king is qualified to read. It records humans..."
Meilo suddenly stopped when she said this. She paused for a moment and continued, "I won't talk about it for now. No, I should say that I would ask Sister Alice a question before. What do you think is the biggest difference between humans and demons?"
Alice didn't know what Melo was playing again, but she felt that Melo wouldn't be so bored. She obviously wanted to say what was next, and it seemed that she had stopped because she was worried about something.
Melo didn't want to continue speaking. I'm afraid it was to stop hearing his answer, so I could only answer Melo's question first.
"I think...it's probably a matter of position."
Melo nodded, as if very satisfied with Alice's answer, and then continued: "Indeed, the biggest difference between humans and demons is the difference in positions. Humans regard demons as an alien, and demons also regard humans as hypocritical ants. Brother Solomon... He has always insisted on some belief that has undergone tremendous changes after experiencing something. It is also because of this change that he became a demon and later became a demon king."
What Alice wants to know most is this so-called "something", but Melo's expression seemed to show that she did not want to tell this matter, which made Alice more and more confirm that what Melo said was definitely a terrible thing that people couldn't believe.
Otherwise, how could a person like Lu (Solomon) become a demon?
