Chapter 2234: Unexpected Arrival

————My head hurts terribly, I'll make up for it tomorrow~~

————

As for Poson, Yinsiluoda actually hoped more to turn the other party into a fellow traveler on this rebellious path, rather than just adding a bit of fresh blood to the Demon Descendant population.

"We'll talk about my affairs later; the Transformation Ritual is about to begin, and I'll take you to choose a closer observation spot."

"Mm."

Poson gave a nod, then followed Yinsiluoda to the vicinity of the prepared ritual site, and after a brief negotiation, obtained an excellent position that had already been occupied by other observers.

While waiting, Yinsiluoda continued to introduce the relevant situation of Demon Descendant transformation to Poson, "I just mentioned that the mindset of first-generation Demon Descendants from the Transformation Ritual is completely different from those born naturally; do you know why?"

Poson was currently observing the Demon Descendants who had already arrived nearby, and subconsciously asked: "Why?"

Regarding this question, an answer had actually already faintly emerged in his heart; growing up and living in different environments would inevitably create different thoughts, and just how much those first-generation Demon Descendants identify with the Demon Descendant group is actually an unknown.

And Yinsiluoda's explanation was—

"The reason most first-generation Demon Descendants become Demon Descendants is not pure; some are forced by circumstances and have no choice, such as being forcibly transformed due to key deployments of the Midian. Although I do not agree with this practice of the Midian, at least for now, it is impossible to completely eradicate this phenomenon.

"There are also members of Upper Families who lost in political struggles, attempting to use the power of Demon Descendants to regain power for themselves, and others who do it purely for the benefits of transforming into a Demon Descendant, such as powerful strength, long lifespan, and so on.

"Only when they thoroughly recognize the attitude of the mainstream world toward Demon Descendants will they truly identify with the identity of a Demon Descendant. But first-generation Demon Descendants are usually existences above senior Mage level; they themselves possess high influence in the mainstream world and can, to a certain extent, influence the mainstream world's attitude toward Demon Descendants.

"In reality, it is not easy to make them thoroughly identify with the Demon Descendant identity, which is why I warned you never to expose your true identity in front of first-generation Demon Descendants, otherwise you are very likely to be used by them."

"Then what about you? Are you a first-generation Demon Descendant?" Poson asked suddenly.

This question could be considered important, or it could be considered unimportant; the key was that he wanted to hear how Yinsiluoda would answer.

Regarding this, Yinsiluoda still did not show any impatience; one could even say he had long wanted to answer such a question. He glanced at the Demon Descendants around him who were relaxed as if on a spring outing, and calmly sent a message:

"Although I am a first-generation Demon Descendant, I am not that kind of wavering Elf. From the moment I made up my mind to transform into a Demon Descendant, I became completely disappointed with the traditional Elf World.

"To me, being a Demon Descendant represents not only more powerful strength and a longer lifespan, but more so, it represents the only path for the various Taiquese Yizu to eliminate prejudice and achieve equality.

"When the noble are defiled and become the same as the lower races they speak of, perhaps that will be the moment when the concept of 【the people】 returns and the Taiquese Yizu is reborn!"

In the traditional Elf World, the reason Upper Families are Upper Families is because they occupy the Zhigaochengcheng that the vast majority of talented individuals cannot research on their own.

Power determines status and determines rank, but the bloodline of Demon Descendants can, to a certain extent, smooth out such power differences, not to mention the Magic Energy Magic System that is closely related to the bloodline.

As long as they delve deeply into their own bloodline, any Demon Descendant has the possibility of reaching the supreme realm, and no longer needs to act as a dog for the Upper Families to obtain the Zhigaochengcheng, because every Demon Descendant's own bloodline is a Zhigaochengcheng.

When the day comes that Demon Descendant bloodlines spread throughout the Taiquese people, perhaps there will still be a differentiation of rank and status, but it will still be countless times better than this solidified world that makes even geniuses feel despair.

Ever since transforming into a Demon Descendant, every extra day Yinsiluoda spent in the Elf World only made him more determined in this reformist philosophy.

It was just that he did not know how much of a psychological impact his words had brought to Poson. Poson had originally only felt some sympathy for the plight of Demon Descendants and some dissatisfaction with the internal class solidification of Elf society, but these sympathies and dissatisfactions were far from reaching the point of wanting to completely change all of this.

Although he had prepared himself to transform into a Demon Descendant, he had simultaneously prepared himself to hide in the shadows for a lifetime. Perhaps in some lonely late night, he had also thought about doing something.

But when the day dawned and reason returned to his body, Poson would still submit to that order he himself did not like. Even though he had just heard Yinsiluoda's calm yet turbulent reformist declaration, he only opened his mouth, unable to say a single word for a long time.

Regarding this, a trace of disappointment appeared in Yinsiluoda's eyes, but it vanished without a trace in an instant. He knew very well how difficult it would be for an ordinary Elf to make such a decision.

But he believed that as long as Poson became a Demon Descendant, he would naturally stand on the opposite side of the old order and embark on the reformist path he was fighting for.

This was also an important reason why he did not agree with the Midian's practice of forcibly transforming Demon Descendants, yet still did not express opposition; in order to liberate the vast majority of ordinary Elves, sacrificing a minority of the upper class in the old order was completely acceptable.

……

After the silence, Yinsiluoda and Poson tacitly changed the subject and continued chatting, until a Spellcaster wearing a black robe and a mask arrived at the ritual site.

Seeing this, Yinsiluoda's expression immediately became solemn, and he sent a message to remind Poson: "The Secret Hall Guardian has arrived; the ritual should begin immediately."

"That person is the Secret Hall Guardian?"

Poson had never seen the Secret Hall Guardian before, but seeing the black-robed Spellcaster who had just appeared, a look of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Despite having many guesses, he did not believe he could know the other party's identity.

"Yes, he is the Secret Hall Guardian, and also the host of this ritual—Lord Morning Light."

The name Morning Light did not sound like a real name at all. In fact, Yinsiluoda knew the true identity of Morning Light, but such information was not something Poson, who had not yet undergone transformation, had the Permission Level to know.

Just after Morning Light arrived, four more Elves wearing black robes and masks arrived. Judging from the physical characteristics they displayed, these individuals were all Gold Elves.

But whether there was any special disguise, that was unknown.

Poson was currently speculating about the identities of these four ritual participants; were they from Yierlan or Siluwende? He guessed Yierlan because the valley where the ritual was taking place was located within Yierlan.

He guessed Siluwende because Yinsiluoda had brought him here, and he couldn't help but wonder if Yinsiluoda knew those individuals, which was why he brought him here?

But such speculation was destined to have no result; perhaps he would only know the answer on the day he truly became a Demon Descendant.
