Chapter 245 Alister Was Convinced By Zanna's Offer
"Whether that demon general destroys Reoserin City or not is not our problem. After all, we aren't heroes. We aren't obligated to save everyone in this world nor are we obligated to fight against demon kind."
Faced with Alister's reply, Zanna sighed, "If it was another race who was attacked by the demon race, I wouldn't care much. However, the elf race is an ally of our spirit race so I can't act as if a demon general didn't appear in the elf race's cities."
In response, Alister didn't care and continued eating his magic luteusberry cake. After eating his cake, he retorted, "So what? The spirit race is just an ally of the elf race, not the elf race's babysitter. Whether the elf race gets destroyed or not, it's not the problem of the spirit race but the elf race's. If they can't even deal with a demon general, then it only means that their race is incompetent."
Zanna knew that what Alister said was right. However, she was the Spirit Queen of Chaos and the elf race has been a long-term ally of the spirit race.
When she was the Spirit Queen of Chaos, she had formed an alliance with the elf race so it was impossible for her to treat as if a demon general hadn't appeared in Reoserin City.
Zanna was well aware that it was due to Alister not caring about others aside from himself and his loved ones. At most, Alister would only save the spirit race due to the spirit race being Zanna's race.
However, even Alister wouldn't care whether the human race was destroyed or not despite being a human. After all, for him, the human race in this world was not the human race in his world.
He didn't have any affection for the human race in this world.
'Sigh, Alister is really the opposite of those true heroes. Although he doesn't attack others for no reason, he also wouldn't save others for no reason.'
'He saved the spirit race since it was my race. However, the elf race is just a stranger to him so he doesn't care what happens to it.'
While Zanna sighed, Alister was resolute in his words, "Zanna, you already know that I am not the hero summoned by the goddess to save the world. I am not even someone who was summoned into this world to kill the heroes who had rebelled."
"I only killed the heroes because they offended me and they threatened my interests. If the heroes didn't offend me, I wouldn't have attacked them."
"At most, I will only save the Reoserin Dessert Shop if ever that demon general started destroying Reoserin City. After all, they gave free desserts so I don't mind protecting the dessert shop and the elves inside it."
"As for protecting the rest of the city, that's the city lord and city guards' duty, not mine."
Zanna had already expected this from Alister as she had known him for a hundred years. After all, Alister was the man she loved so it was impossible for her to not know his personality.
Zanna would have agreed with him if not for the fact that this wasn't just any other race but the elf race. If it was replaced with the dragon race, dwarf race, or human race, Zanna would be as apathetic as Alister.
But the elf race was the ally of the spirit race and the alliance with the elf race provided the spirit race with extra deterrence against other races who had ill intentions towards the spirit race.
Zanna didn't plan to just sit back and do nothing when an ally of her race was about to be attacked by a demon general.
A demon general was at least a master-level powerhouse.
The demon general in the tailor shop was a Master Mage. However, she wasn't an ordinary Master Mage and was a Master Mage who was about to become a Grand Mage.
Compared to the city lord who was only an average Master Mage, the demon general could defeat the city lord of Reoserin City.
However, the situation wasn't completely hopeless for the elves in Reoserin City. Since the city lord was a Master Mage, he could also summon an advanced spirit who was also a Master Mage.
With the master-level powerhouses, the demon general was bound to lose.
But Zanna knew that it wasn't as simple as it may seemed. It was impossible for the demon general to not know about the alliance between the elf race and the spirit race.
In other words, the demon general might have come prepared or else it would be too stupid if she hadn't prepared any countermeasures against the city lord and the master-level elemental spirit that could be summoned by the city lord.
Noticing Zanna's doubts, Alister sighed, "That demon general has a necklace-like artifact concealed around her neck. Even you can't detect it, and it's because of the Money Hero's authority."
"You might not be able to see through its concealment from a far distance, but it won't be a problem if you are near that demon general."
After he answered Zanna's doubts, Zanna smiled, "Didn't you say you didn't plan to interfere?" nOve(lb-In
In response, Alister sighed again, "I can't act as if nothing happened if you planned to interfere. What if you get hurt due to that concealed artifact? I won't forgive myself if that happened."
Receiving Alister's reply, it was within Zanna's expectation since she knew that Alister was very protective of her.
Deciding to try her luck, Zanna asked, "Do you still plan to deal with the demon general or not? If you can do me a favor, I can let you play with me roughly tonight."
Hearing Zanna's offer, Alister was contemplating whether to help her deal with the demon general or not.
In the end, he decided, "Welp, it's not like the demon general is a threat to me. Since you ask, I don't mind eliminating her."
"This won't take much of my time anyways."
