Fisher learns that demon servants like Mitra require absorbing Fallen Self to sate their nature, a process that causes them immense pain if not fulfilled. Mitra reveals that she and her sisters were forbidden from leaving their current location for three years after overindulging in human cities, causing them great suffering. Their desperation intensifies when Mitra recognizes Fisher as blessed by the Demon God Paimon, panicking and pleading for forgiveness.

"Paimon... Wait, what did you say, where were you sent by Paimon initially?"

Fisher frowned and asked Mitra so seriously that perhaps the unintentional intimidation in his eyes, combined with the pressure of the Mythical Rank, made Mitra, already frightened by the existence of "Paimon," more terrified.

She trembled, retreating as she shook her head,

"I... we were sent to a human city, it’s called... Nali... no, it’s Saint Nali."

"How long ago was this?"

"...Three and a half years... and four years ago some sisters, but it was around that time."

She was about to say something but paused slightly, only filling in the answer Fisher wanted after a brief break.

Four years ago...

That is to say, it was within a very short time after he left here and traveled back in time; it was even very likely that Helair arranged these immediately after knowing he left... She really schemed for these for too long, even a millennium ago when she learned the Doomsday Prophecy from Gui, could it have been the same?

Fisher was a bit uncertain for a moment because suddenly he wasn’t very clear about what exactly the relationship between Elizabeth and Helair was now.

Earlier, when he called the Golden Palace, an Inner Court Official informed him that Elizabeth was probably aware of the war situation here, so Fisher thought she was aware of the demon happenings, at least of the use of Barbatos and Agares.

But the Enchanting Demon entered Saint Nali a long, long time ago, during times when humans hadn’t yet formed an allied force to conquer the South Continent, so he couldn’t be sure Elizabeth was aware of it either.

Thus, he couldn’t help but ask Mitra again,

"Then what exactly did Paimon send you to Saint Nali for?"

"For... what?"

Mitra seemed dazed as if frightened silly and suddenly for some reason repeated Fisher’s question again.

Fisher thought she hadn’t heard clearly or misunderstood, so he emphasized his query,

"Yes, you mentioned earlier you were afraid of ruining her plans, so, what does she really intend to do in Saint Nali?"

Mitra’s pupils scattered slightly, revealing a bit of a dispersed light, yet her tone and expression remained animated. She hesitated for a moment and spoke somewhat fearfully,

"I... we don’t know, such an adult like her wouldn’t reveal her purposes to us... But at the time, we were arranged by Lord Paimon into human institutions to work, city hall, council, and police headquarters... each of us arranged differently, some were for espionage investigation, some just on standby within... I was on standby at city hall, thinking Lord Paimon wouldn’t be too strict, so within a day I absorbed a lot of my colleagues’ Fallen Self, and that..."

Though Mitra seemed meek and submissive as she said this, given her Enchanting Demon identity and her earlier appearance of hunger and thirst, Fisher had no doubt she even threw wild parties within the city hall offices at the time, no wonder she would be kicked out by Helair and put back into the Demon Dynasty.

"Espionage? From other realms?"

"Yes, but besides these, mainly those adept at disguise and transformation, the ’Slimes’... I heard earlier about a trusted attendant of Lord Paimon capturing a Slime hiding in Nali for a long time, that Slime was even a mayor of Nali..."

"..."

Slime?

That clan from the Northern Realm disguising and transforming in various places...

Moreover, Fisher clearly remembered when he met that Slime masquerading as Nali Mayor at the Boundary of Slimes; he hadn’t expected that he now already...

Hmm, Fisher harbored no doubt about his current outcome.

Listening to this, it seemed these Demon Servants’ actions in Saint Nali were all genuinely for Nali’s good, perhaps part of a deal between Elizabeth and Helair with the demons?

"What about... the Golden Palace, were you not assigned to positions related to the Golden Palace by Helair?"

"Probably not, I haven’t heard of any sister working there."

"..."

Fisher frowned, from the words of this Enchanting Demon, he had to confirm that Elizabeth was indeed the one cooperating with the demons, aware of it entirely.

Though he knew Elizabeth at times could be unscrupulous, he occasionally felt the previous coup was a critical moment, hence she collaborated with Erwin, gambling outright with so many slaves’ lives and the Blake couple’s lives.

Fisher obviously realized this was wrong, yet he still harbored illusions about her, frankly speaking, it was compassion arising from selfishness due to their past love and her endured suffering.

He hoped they both could learn from the past lessons, hoped she deserves the throne piled high with so many bones and blood to become the more capable Empress than her brother Dexter...

Using the demons’ power, forming a pact with demons to govern the nation, is this the right way?

Fisher didn’t know, but he had seen the downfall of Solomon; his end was the best proof.

Upon hearing this, Fisher suddenly felt somewhat heavy inwardly but said nothing, instead burying this heaviness in his heart, then turned around to depart.
