After Mr. Firzaha bought luxurious soup materials and dominated the newspapers of the Utah zone, people were surprised to find out that he had completely disappeared from the newspapers for quite a long time!
He never participated in any auctions, nor did he attend any big demon’s banquet, and his name never appeared in any news.
Although there have been various hot news topics emerging during this period, they either disappear after just one appearance, or the old faces that have appeared before are no longer there, like Mr. Firzaha, who is young, makes headlines whenever he comes out, and constantly creates new explosive news.
Every day, countless reporters squatted at the gates of Mr. Firzaha’s major industries in Koloda City, trying to dig out clues from his employees. However, the employees of Mr. Firzaha were extremely loyal, no matter how the paparazzi intimidated them, they never leaked any secrets!
At that time, there was a clever reporter who suddenly came up with a news headline: The Loyalty of Demons——Talking about Mr. Firzaha’s Way of managing the Demons.
Although it is not a new topic, but the name of Mr. Firzaha has appeared, and they were finally able to preserve the sales of their newspaper~
Really—
It’s not easy to be a demon these days!
Cough cough, however, God knows: the reason why these demons are so secretive about their boss’s whereabouts was not because of any loyalty, but because they don’t really know where the boss has gone~
A secret is no longer a secret from the moment it is uttered, no one can keep it 100% hidden, so if there is really something you don’t want others to know, then don’t tell anyone — by Jin Murphy Firzaha.
After leaving the city, Mr. Firzaha took the train and left alone without anyone, not even carrying any luggage.
This is a kind of car that is very similar to the train in the human world. For the convenience of description and understanding, let’s call it a train.
In this world, there are also various means of transportation. Although most demons travel very fast, firstly, the world here is bigger, and secondly, not all demons are willing to work hard on their own and run, so naturally craftsmen invented various means of transportation.
It is the slowest of these various modes of transport that Mr. Firzaha is now travelling on. Although there is no advantage in speed, it is precisely because of the slow speed that one can enjoy the scenery along the way very well. In addition, the fare is very cheap, so this kind of transportation is very popular with young demons who don’t have much money. Big old demons are also welcomed, low-level demons also like this kind of transportation, but high-level demons rarely choose it.
Mr. Firzaha—no, maybe he should be called Ah Jin at this moment. He took off his expensive and exquisite black formal suit. Now he is only wearing a white shirt inside, with his bow tie and the top two buttons were undone. He looks just like an ordinary young demon.
Now he is that same Ah Jin again who lived with Ji Huan at a house in Yefar.
Having bought a ticket for the seat by the window, he was currently looking at the scenery outside the window while resting his chin on his hand.
The sunlight outside the window was extremely strong, the ground was covered with yellow sand, and there were almost no plants. However, as the train moved, more plants began to appear outside the window, and Ah Jin glanced at the map in his hand: The train should be leaving the Utah area now.
When he was quietly watching the scenery by the window, the words of the nearby demon sounded in his ears from time to time.
“Two hundred years ago, there was no means of transportation here. Only high-level demons and some gifted demons could cross this desert to reach the central city. Do you know why the central city is called Winter City?” Sitting beside him was an old demon, and there were two young demons beside him. They were listening to the old demon’s story with great interest.
“Why?” one of the female demons urged him.
Possessing a head of pink hair and pointed ears, this was a cute female demon, she wasn’t very tall or big, and looked very harmless.
Enjoying the feeling of being the centre of attention among young demons, the old demon smiled, he stroked his grey beard, and no longer kept them in suspense:
“Because at that time, if you start from the edge of the desert in the hot Utah zone in spring, it will be basically winter when you arrive in the central city.”
“I don’t know how fast the high-level demons are, at least that’s probably the case for the middle-level demons who can pass there by their own abilities.
“It takes six seasons along the way, or even slower, it’s a long and hard journey…”
“Then did you go to Winter City when you were young?” This time it was the young male demon next to him who asked the question. His hair was also pink, but the colour was darker and closer to red.
“Of course not. I’m not a high-level demon, and I don’t have thick skin that can resist strong radiation. I don’t have enough perseverance, so naturally I can’t reach it.” The old demon shook his head frankly: “I went there for the first time after the train started. As for Winter City, for demons who have experienced that era, it is the dream of many demons to go to Winter City once and see what it looks like. After the train ticket price was reduced, I simply visited once a year.”
As he spoke, the old demon looked out of the window and sighed with emotion:
“The Demon Realm now is really different from before.”
The current demon world is really different from before——when the old demon sighed, Ah Jin thought so too.
At that time, low-level demons could only live in the place where they were born for the rest of their lives. From birth to death, they had almost no chance to leave their place of birth unless they were bought or sold. The range of activities of middle-level demons was slightly larger, but it was also limited.
The Demon Realm belonged to high-level demons. As the old demon beside him said, only high-level demons could go anywhere unscrupulously at that time.
It is impossible for a low-level demon like this old demon to reach Winter City in his lifetime.
Not to mention such a heated conversation with two high-level demons.
Although his gaze did not fall on the two young demons next to him, Ah Jin immediately knew the identities of the two just by their breath.
They were already trying their best to hide their aura. This kind of camouflage successfully fooled the old demon next to them, but they couldn’t fool Ah Jin.
High-level demons are all proud, and demons below high-level are beneath them in their eyes. Now seeing the old demon having a great conversation with them, Ah Jin actually felt a bit delicate.
Well……
Maybe it’s the feeling of having a good time with your food, right?
The line of sight moved from the window to the interior of the car, so that Ah Jin’s line of sight collided with the old demon.
“Ah… sorry, was my voice a little loud? Did I disturb you as you were looking at the scenery…” When he met those stagnant eyes, the old demon felt his heart tremble, and hurriedly stuffed a medicine into his mouth, apologizing while chewing.
“No, I was just taking a look.” The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and Ah Jin spoke with a smile.
He turned his face around so that the three people around him finally saw his full face.
Mr. Firzaha’s appearance was naturally very attractive, but the appearance of demons is generally good, so he looked like a normal young demon.
However, he spoke well and seemed very friendly, and it didn’t take long for him to start chatting with the other three demons very naturally.
“Ah! Suddenly I feel that this Mr. Ah Jin is very handsome!” Most of the female demons were quite frank, and it didn’t take long for that female demon to say this to her brother beside her.
“He is indeed an interesting person, but you shouldn’t look at him, he is a low-level demon after all, okay? He can barely reach the middle-level, and the two of you can’t live together.” The male demon warned her.
The female demon spoke to her brother in front of Ah Jin and the old demon. She was not afraid of the conversation between herself and her brother being heard by the other two demons. Naturally, there was a range of sound waves between high-level demons that only they could hear.
“I was just talking~” Her mouth pouted, and the young female demon stopped whispering to her brother.
The two young demons didn’t know that their conversation just now had been overheard by the black-haired demon, who was sitting opposite them.
Having seen this kind of thing a lot, Ah Jin doesn’t care much. He prefers to talk to the old demon on the opposite side compared to the two young demons who looked a little naive.
Although he has the ability to chat with anyone, he actually doesn’t like young people. Young age often represents naivety and ignorance.
He had always thought so before.
Until he met Ji Huan.
After getting to know Ji Huan, he knew another meaning of the young age: fearlessness.
Being afraid of nothing because you don’t know anything is called ignorance.
And knowing everything and still not being afraid, this is the real fearlessness produced by strength and courage.
Because of Ji Huan, he is now willing to tolerate the ignorance of young people.
However, this kind of tolerance is not much, just a little bit.
Ah Jin smiled and listened to the old demon on the opposite side talking about his youth. In this regard, there is no difference between a human and a demon. In their old age, they always think of the past.
When he was dying of weakness previously, he often thought of the old days.
“I wanted to ask just now.” When Ah Jin was thinking about the previous things, the old demon suddenly pointed to the keychain he put on the table.
“This keychain, if I’m not mistaken, should be the registration certificate issued by Winter City two hundred years ago, right?”
“Because there were not many outsiders who could reach Winter City at that time, all people who entered the city will get a city registration certificate, and only with this registration can they move around in the city. Your keychain…is that the same thing?”
It is no surprise that he can figure this out, Ah Jin nodded.
Before leaving Yefar, he put the keys in the kitchen and handed over the only key to the boy. He thought that he would not come back in the future. In this way, it was only natural that all the keys should be left to the future owner of their house.
However, when he checked into the hotel later, he found the key again in the suitcase.
It was no longer a bare key, but a keychain was tied to it. He didn’t know where he lost the entry certificate he obtained in Winter City many years ago. He even forgot that there was such a thing as a key. Who knew that he would see it again after so many years. Not only that, the boy even used it to weave a keychain very skillfully, and the badge of Winter City was exposed outside, just like a beautiful decoration.
It’s not easy to throw things like keys around, so he simply keeps them with him all the time.
“Yes.” Ah Jin said to the old demon.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!” He looks so excited!
“Oh?” His reaction was beyond Ah Jin’s expectation.
“Don’t you know? This city entry registration is now a legendary thing! Those who can get this badge are either big demons or demons with special abilities. Ordinary demons can’t get this thing at all! This is a badge that symbolises one’s ability !”
After getting Ah Jin’s permission, the old demon carefully touched the badge, and reluctantly returned it to Ah Jin after a long while.
“Ah Jin, you have this badge in your hand… Did you get it yourself?” He hesitated for a while, and finally asked cautiously.
“Hmm.” Ah Jin nodded, not feeling that there was anything difficult to answer.
“You don’t look like a high-level demon, so do you have any special abilities? I heard that ordinary demons that could reach Winter City at that time had thick skins. Ah Jin, could it be that your monster form has particularly thick skins?”
Thick-skinned monster? The two young demons on the side immediately turned their eyes on Ah Jin: The demon in front of them looked gentle and thin, no matter how you look at him…his skin can’t be thick!
Being stared at by the three demons, Ah Jin thought for a while and shook his head.
“My skin is not thick. I changed it… I can’t remember how many times it took for me to reach the destination.” He has forgotten how many times he changed it, and he can’t remember how much time it took on the road, but he remembered the pain.
At that time, he was just an ordinary low-level demon with no special abilities, but only had the belief that he wanted to go to Winter City.
The skin on the body cracked piece by piece, and then grew back, and then cracked, and then grew again…
It hurts, but it wasn’t the most painful thing he has ever experienced, and it’s not even as bad as the pain when he absorbed energy a few days ago.
If the old demon hadn’t mentioned it this time, he would have forgotten it.
When the old demon looked at Ah Jin again, his eyes were full of admiration.
“Then you are already a very persevering person, and this badge of yours represents perseverance.”
“You must be a powerful demon.” The old demon admired, and then didn’t ask any more questions about Ah Jin’s past.
“But—” suddenly thought of something, when the old demon looked at Ah Jin again, the meaning in his eyes changed again.
“If you can get this badge, you are not too young, right?”
“I just felt: You, you are so young, but you talk like an old person! Why do I feel that you are about the same age as me? If you obtained this badge yourself, then… you are really about my age?!”
People who are about the same age always have a special way of identifying things. As soon as one says a lot of things, they will know immediately.
“Hehe, maybe I’m really similar to you. Although I look young, I’m not young anymore.” Smiling, Ah Jin nodded.
“No wonder! I feel that your habits are completely different from those of today’s young demons! At first I thought it was because of your polite speech, but now that I think about it, many of your habits are unique to our era!” The old demon immediately became excited.
In the following time, the old demon treated Ah Jin as a peer, shared with him various new hair dyes and health care medicines commonly used by the elderly, and finally recommended him a plaster for bone pain in the elderly demons!
Ah Jin said: It’s really useful information, hehehehehehe.
Looking at the two “old” demons whose feelings were sublimated immediately, the two young demons on the side were dumbfounded.
Finally, the two “old men” still remembered their existence, and the four of them talked for a while, then Ah Jin got off the train first.
Holding the new hair dye given to him by the old demon in his hand, Ah Jin smiled and waved goodbye to the three travelling companions. However, after he left, the three demons realized: After chatting for a long time, what is the other party’s name and where did he come from… They didn’t even know any relevant information about him.
