Chapter 871: Chapter 510: Crown of the Spirit’s Authority_2
After finishing what he had to say, Logan waved his hand and annihilated several demons on the spot.
Lexi made a soft noise, seemingly trying to prevent it, but she held back her words and stopped short.
He did not know what to say. Although they were his kin, they indeed had brought danger upon them.
Logan appeared to notice his discomfort and walked towards him, patting his shoulder.
“Lexi, I truly consider you a friend, which is why I speak to you with such candor. I know you are of the Demon Race, and they are too. It must be unpleasant for you to see destroying your own kind right before your eyes, but I hope you’ll be cautious. They were the ones who started the attack. If we hadn’t fought back, we would already be dead.”
Lexi pursed his lips, lowered his head, and remained silent. He knew this to be true but did not know how to respond.
...
Logan patted his shoulder again.
“Lexi, I am well aware of your unique moral character and beliefs as a mber of the Demon Race. I promise you that if in our future travels I encounter others of your kind with hearts as just and nature as noble as yours, I will indeed show leniency and treat them with respect.
However, the world is not always filled with kindness and tolerance. I also understand that among the Demon Race, there are those who are utterly wicked and commit heinous deeds. They may be greedy, cruel, and even take pleasure in harming others. If I encounter such demons, I’m afraid I won’t be able to remain as tolerant and rciful as you might expect.
Please understand that as a human, my mission is to protect my people and friends, to uphold justice and peace in the world. I cannot tolerate the actions of those demons steeped in evil, nor can I betray my principles.
Therefore, Lexi, I hope you can understand my position and choices. I will do my best to differentiate between good and evil within the Demon Race, but I must also be responsible for my people and friends. If I co across malicious demons, I may have to take necessary asures to protect everything I hold dear.
Please don’t bla for this, as it is my duty as a warrior, a protector. I believe that as long as we understand and respect each other, our relationship will only grow stronger and more resilient.”
Alone in his thoughts for a long ti, Lexi eventually let out a deep sigh. When he looked at him, his eyes displayed not bla but helplessness.
“I know, I don’t criticize you, Young Master Logan. You were protecting yourself and also us. If it weren’t for your array just now, the three of us combined would not have been a match for those demons. It’s just that when I think of their stubbornness, their unwillingness to see reason, I can’t help but feel disappointed.”
That was the main reason why he initially felt reluctant and uncomfortable.
Logan smiled.
“What’s the matter? As an idealist, you’ve just encountered so difficulties and setbacks, and you’re already feeling discouraged. There’s nothing wrong with feeling shaken. What’s terrible is if you let yourself stay down and never stand up again. Lexi, what I admired from the start was your unyielding spirit. Don’t disappoint .”
After his reminder and support, Lexi seed to realize sothing. His eyes were bright again, and he nodded seriously.
“I will do my best, Young Master Logan, Miss Leaf. Even if it’s just for the two of you who share my vision and are willing to support as allies, I will definitely persevere to the end. I just got sidetracked a mont ago; pay it no mind.”
Logan imdiately waved his hand.
“Why would I mind? Your life is your own, and it’s good that you’ve figured things out. I do hope for more allies like you among the Demon Race. However, your strength is still too weak, which is why they look down on you. Lexi, you must work hard from now on to improve your strength. Rember, those with great power have the most influence; it has always been so.”
“Those with great power have the most influence…”
Lexi repeated the phrase to himself, a peculiar light flickering in his eyes.
He had never considered this perspective before, but now it beca crystal clear.
Indeed, why would others refuse to listen to him, even deeming his ideas as fanciful? What if the one speaking were a superior, a Demon Monarch?
Would they still treat his words as a joke, not taking them seriously?
Even he, Lexi, knew he would think the sa way; only with an increase in strength would others be willing to listen.
Lexi clenched his fist tightly as if he had grasped sothing profound from this mont.
Seeing his thoughtful expression, Logan did not disturb him.
“Let’s go. There may be more demons lurking in this Secret Land. The strategy we used might have fooled them once, but it won’t necessarily work a second or third ti. It seems your Demon Race has really gone all out this ti, sending so many high-ranking demons. We’ll have to proceed with caution as we continue our exploration and be very careful.”
Both nodded, sharing the sa thoughts on the matter.
After the earlier danger, they beca much more vigilant, especially since demons were notoriously deceitful.
To avoid being discovered by other demons, they first moved away from that area to a relatively safe place. It was then that Logan received a ntal suggestion from Little Flower.
It wanted to co out.
Because of the Contract between them, he imdiately understood its intent.
