He Wen knew that he would face this problem sooner or later.
The power he displayed has completely surpassed the categories of humans, magic, and even demons.
But what He Wen didn't expect was that the first person to ask this question was Eve.
Maybe this is some kind of fate. The first person he came to this world to save was Eve, and now the first person who questions his identity is also Eve.
He Wen had no intention of deceiving the girl in front of him, never.
He nodded.
"Not from the beginning, but from the gallows, I..."
But before He Wen finished speaking, Eve pulled out the long sword from her waist. Her hands were trembling and her eyes were evasive. This was a behavior not allowed by a swordsman.
As a fifth-level swordsman, she must have no distracting thoughts when wielding the sword, otherwise she would be risking her life on the edge of the cliff.
He Wen swallowed back what he wanted to say.
He had thought that Eve would question him, but he didn't expect that the girl would pull out the sword directly.
To be honest, he was a little sad.
"Devil... then, will you... destroy this world? Or, is everything you are doing now paving the way for the destruction of this world?"
Eve was scared, not because the demon in front of her would kill her.
But he was afraid of getting a positive answer from He Wen.
He Wen sighed and walked towards Eve.
Then Eve did not raise her sword to point it at He Wen. Instead, she slowly lowered it, with the tip of the sword touching the ground.
"From the first day you met me, have I ever destroyed anything, and have I ever harmed anyone?"
He Wen spoke, and his voice was not as gentle as before, but seemed a bit cold, which made Eve couldn't help but take a step back. She shrank her body, raised her head slightly and looked at He Wen as he said tremblingly.
"No...no, you saved my life and many, many people's lives..."
"So, now that you know I am a demon, will you want to kill me?"
He Wen took another step forward, stretched out his hand, held Eve's wrist, then raised her hand holding the sword, pointed the tip of the sword directly at his chest and said.
"If you want to kill me, then do it."
"I...I didn't...I..."
Eve seemed to want to defend something, but soon felt that she was ridiculous. After hearing He Wen admit that she was a devil, she subconsciously drew her sword.
And this move completely hurt He Wen's heart.
It can be said that he has a higher kindness to himself than saving his life.
But what Eve didn't know was that in He Wen's heart, Eve also had life-saving grace.
If she hadn't arrived in time with the Fast Knights at the execution ground, He Wen wouldn't have been able to drag Shalia to rescue him even if he turned into a demon.
That's why he made such a radical move now. Too many sweet words and nice words are useless.
He had to let Eve make the choice herself.
"If you think I am evil and I am heinous, come and kill me."
He Wen directly grasped Eve's sword blade, and blood immediately slid down the blade. Eve instantly let go of the hand holding the sword, and then she anxiously opened He Wen's hand holding the sword's edge.
"…Why is this happening?"
"Eve, I am indeed a devil now, and I do have my plan. I don't want to hide it from you. I want to overthrow the Holy Religion's rule on this world."
He Wen didn't pay attention to the blood flowing on his hands. He looked at Eve seriously.
"You should also have seen what the Holy Cult today and what the Saint has done. They don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously, and these beasts don't even have a chance to receive treatment. You Do you think that’s reasonable?”
Eve was silent for a while, then shook her head.
He Wen struck while the iron was hot and continued.
"In the past, the demons were doing the same thing. They oppressed all living beings and cast the shadow of death on this land, thus causing destruction. But now, anthropology has become smarter. They not only oppressed all living beings, but even deprived them of A chance for life other than humans to gain power.”
"Holy religions are the biggest cancer. They cause all people living in this world to lose the most basic medical protection."
Eve looked at He Wen blankly. Every word this man said to her impacted the education she had received.
If it were before, Eve might have thought He Wen was a lunatic, an out-and-out devil, and a heretic.
but now.
After hearing what He Wen said, she just asked timidly.
"You...what do you want to do."
"The heroes of the past eradicated the devil and returned the hope of life to the world. But now, the world has fallen into a new disease. I am a doctor, and what I want to do is to restore health to the world. And the cancer poisoning the world now is the Holy Religion.”
Eve slowly lowered her head and took a deep breath.
Finally, she put away her sword and privately removed the fabric from her cuffs to bandage He Wen's still bleeding hand.
In fact, He Wen had used some careful thinking. If he had wanted to, the wound on his hand would have healed long ago.
But he deliberately kept the blood, using this method to force the girl in front of him to make a choice, just like he forced the orcs to make a choice just now.
He is not a messenger of justice, he is a doctor.
When the doctor wants to operate and remove the lesions, he will consider all available methods. In his opinion, the orcs are very useful to his plan.
The same goes for the girl in front of her.
But it is undeniable that He Wen does have some strange emotions towards the girl in front of him, the former princess.
"I... keep my attitude, but I believe you, He Wen, you are not a heinous person, or a devil."
Eve put her hand on her chest and looked at He Wen seriously.
"So, I will follow you, as your knight, I will witness everything you do, but if one day I find that your words and deeds are inconsistent... I will..."
Eve couldn't say the last sentence.
He Wen smiled and touched her hair. Eve looked at He Wen with some dissatisfaction and whispered.
"I, I'm taking an oath, be serious."
"Okay, little princess, if you find out that I am a liar and a heinous devil, then you will use this sword to pierce my heart."
He Wen pointed to his chest.
Eve lowered her head slightly, looked at He Wen's chest, and then showed a relieved smile.
"Devils have hearts too."
"If you don't believe me, touch it?"
Eve's face suddenly turned red. She snorted and walked around He Wen, then turned back and stuck out her tongue at He Wen.
"rogue!"
He Wen looked at the girl walking in front and smiled helplessly.
Is he mean? Of course, but was there a lie in what he said?
No, Evefast, Shalia, and the beasts, he would indeed use them.
But at the same time, he will do everything he can to protect them, because they are the few white blood cells left in the world.
