My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 46 This is how the demonic path works

"You want me to take action?"

"No, I want to, I want to kill him myself."

"That might be a bit difficult."

Shi Qing said seriously, "You've completed the bone tempering, but you can't beat him."

"Your adoptive mother is no ordinary person; she possesses at least fourth-tier power."

"The demon that drained your adoptive mother's blood is only stronger, not weaker. Killing him will be as difficult as climbing to the heavens."

Vichy's eyes were dim.

She understood that Shi Qing was right.

But should I just give up?

"However, your teacher here also has some experience in killing people, so it's not impossible for me to kill him."

Vichy's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the blue stone, his eyes filled with longing.

......

night.

Edith's office.

"Please have a seat, Ms. Vichy."

"We are glad that you are honest with us."

Vichy took off his robe and looked at Edith with a calm expression, but in his mind he was communicating frantically with Shi Qing.

"I want to kill the Blood Demon."

"Yes, I understand, but I'm afraid it will be difficult, Vichy."

Edith sighed.

"After the Blood Demon harmed Pavit, it advanced to the fourth rank, becoming incredibly powerful. Even I would find it difficult to fight it one-on-one."

Fourth level, just as the teacher said.

Vichy paused for a moment, then said, "What if we surround and attack them?"

"Surrounding and killing is not easy, and it's very difficult."

"The Blood Demon and the Shadow Child are deeply entangled, almost inseparable."

"And to be honest, this war is almost over."

Vichy asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Well, I shouldn't be telling you these things, but let's just consider it an investment."

Edith put down her teacup, tapped her fingertips on the table, and pondered for a moment.

"The existence of the Blood Demon is a product of a compromise between the Empire and the Vampire Clan. Can you understand that?"

Vishi didn't speak; he simply closed his eyes, and Shi Qing took control of the body.

"Because of the Empire's defeat in the war, the front lines urgently need reinforcements."

"The Blood Demon is a great prototype for mass production of machinery. As long as the bestowed vampires are deployed to the battlefield, batches of meat grinders can be quickly bred up."

"The vampires need to prove their worth, to prove that they still have value in sucking the blood of the empire, and to gain the attention of the warmongers."

"The Empire is riddled with internal conflicts. Some want to promote the development of the puppets, while others are unhappy with the vampires. They unite with each other, and the conservatives of the vampires are their swords, using you to deal with the warmongers."

"To put it bluntly, it's the cowardice of racists and warmongers."

Shi Qing spoke softly, and Edith raised an eyebrow, staring at the girl in astonishment.

After a moment, she nodded slightly, her face showing admiration.

"Not bad, not bad."

"I thought I would have to spend a lot of time explaining, but I didn't expect you to be able to understand it."

"With such a keen sense of smell and such natural talent, you truly are a remarkable person."

Edith: "In that case, you should understand why I said this war is nearing its end."

"The Blood Demon has reached the fourth rank, and the experiment on the Child of Shadows has been successful. All that remains is for the Empire to receive this accurate information."

The puppet resources will be removed, the law knights will be ordered to surrender, and the entire dungeon will become their territory.

At this moment, Edith slowly stood up and looked at the bright moon outside the window.

She spoke sincerely, her back to Vichy.

"Your foster mother doesn't want you involved in these bloody struggles. Stop now, Vichy."

"With your talent, once the city lord comes out, he will definitely take you in as his adopted daughter. You will receive the best training and will become a leading figure in the vampire clan in the future."

"As for the Blood Demon, we can wait until later and figure it out slowly. He can't escape."

Chen Ran, Edith's words make a lot of sense and are very rational.

But this only drew ridicule from Shi Qing.

"If everything in this world were as naive as you, the world would be at peace long ago."

"What?"

Edith turned her head in astonishment to look at Vichy, only to find him with a mocking expression, as if the person standing in front of her was not a girl who had just achieved the first level of transcendence, but a true superior.

"Are the Children of Shadows in league with you? Do they even acknowledge you as vampires? They've been using you as blood bags, and you still expect to back down?"

Edith was speechless; she couldn't answer the question, or rather, she couldn't bring herself to say the answer.

Shi Qing walked to the side and stared at Edith.

Let me explain the real situation to you.

"You, I mean all of you vampires, are nothing but waste material."

"Their elaborate blood sacrifice rituals will ultimately benefit only one person."

That person was the mastermind behind the entire blood sacrifice; he was the empire's true partner. Could a group of low-level superhumans possibly withstand a ninth-tier being or a demigod?

In an instant, Edith looked up sharply and re-examined Vichy's words.

Her heart sank into an ice cellar, and she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. A name involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Silver Spear Master.

That is the dark side of the vampires, the offspring of the demigod Lilith.

Yes, if it was that Grand Duke who was manipulating things in the dark, how could he have only stopped at producing some fourth-tier items?

From top to bottom, everyone will become his food.

I see, I see.

No wonder Ryan rioted so violently; the city lord had foreseen this.

The first sign was that the Child of Shadows had bewitched the Blood Demon and begun slaughtering his own kind.

So, the Empire doesn't actually care about the vampire territory.

What does it matter if a territory can gain the support of a demigod?

"...I underestimated the situation."

Edith exhaled a sigh of relief and admitted that he had been narrow-minded.

But at the same time, she was more curious about Vichy in front of her.

Judging from the records, she shouldn't seem to possess this kind of insight.

The same is true of Vichy.

"Teacher, how did you come up with that idea?"

"What were you thinking?" Shi Qing asked. "Damn it, aren't all demonic cultivators like this? They slaughter countless lives and turn their own disciples into puppets at the drop of a hat?"

"I can tell what kind of shit they're going to take just by looking at them. They all want to be the ones who get the spoils, and they all want to make a quick buck and run away."

Do you think it's so easy to run away after taking benefits from others?

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Shi Qing tapped the table a few times.

"Well then, Miss Edith."

"You must kill the Blood Demon, at any cost."

Edith hesitated for a long time, her face showing distress.

Even though Shi Qing had helped her understand the situation, it was still beyond her control.

"The Children of Shadows will send more followers here, and their numbers may even exceed those of the city's defense forces."

A direct assault on the dungeon would be quite difficult, and we don't have the manpower for it.

"Difficult? How could it be?"

As he spoke, Shi Qing slammed a spell template onto the table.

Is this enough?

"Uh, almost there."

Shi Qing then took the seal of Edith and slapped it onto the empire's letter.

Is this enough?

"..."

Edith watched helplessly as the other party slapped the seal and the spell template together.

"Are these two enough to offset their lack of combat strength?"

Edith suddenly looked up at the other person.

"Miss Vichy, what's behind you?"
