"I see, even lesser demons and goblins can use magic wands..."

As Youyou, who was leading the way, spoke, she nodded in understanding and said, "It seems that both Mr. Yinla and Mr. Tops are doing something very remarkable."

In response, Yinla nodded naturally, acknowledging that they were indeed doing something important... Yinla always had a kind of inexplicable frankness and openness, and he rarely responded to praise with humility.

He often sighs helplessly or avoids things because he finds them troublesome, but it's rare to see him respond with "No, no" or anything like that when praised with phrases like "Yinla is so strong!"

"Oh... I don't think so..."

Tops, somewhat embarrassed, said that he had never been aware of "doing something big." He said, "I'm just interested in this... and I'm not very capable myself. If I don't take some crooked paths, there's really no other way."

Without a doubt, at least in terms of Mana aptitude... that is, the path of a professional, Tops is mediocre. If one had to explain, his strength would probably be at the level of a "short-sighted" (a derogatory term implying someone who is only slightly better than others).

Yes, it's the "Sunshan" in "failed the exam," which is a little bit better than failing. It's like he could get 60 points on a 100-point test... not 60.1 or 60.2, but 60.00, which is barely enough to get into the Three Towers Academy.

The mage rating system is entirely based on theoretical knowledge, which inflates the score.

"Strength?"

Youyou shrugged noncommittally, and said as she walked along the road that Yinla was becoming more and more familiar with, "Originally, the Demon King's territory also valued strength, but later they found that... strength is actually not important. What's more important is a stable personality and good intelligence."

(Favignon: Hi hi hi! I'm here!)

Tops blinked, seemingly unsure of the hidden meaning in Youyou's words.

However, looking at her surroundings, Yinla couldn't help but ask, "Is the place where the mithril is stored near my room? Or is it actually near the kitchen?"

When asked about Yinla's question, Youyou gave him a puzzled look, then realized that Yinla knew nothing about this. She smiled and said, "The Demon King's warehouse is the demiplane connected to the kitchen..."

"..."

"???"

Setting up warehouses in demiplanes is not uncommon in this world; in fact, it could be said that... if one has the capability, most supplies are stored in demiplanes.

However, if the demiplane warehouse that stores precious resources and the demiplane warehouse that stores food are the same thing, then that would be quite a strange thing.

Aren't you afraid the cook will steal it...?

Perhaps it's only in the Demon King's territory that one can so openly do something like this, putting ingredients and rare materials together... but it's also surprisingly reasonable.

Speaking of which, when I applied for the anti-magic stone powder last time, Youyou came upstairs to get it for me. I thought it was near the basement... but it turned out to be from the kitchen area as well.

No wonder I always saw Youyou rushing to the kitchen when we ate before. I thought it was because there was a shortage of ingredients, but it turns out she was just collecting supplies.

Thinking this, Illa, with Tops in tow, followed behind Youyou, exchanged nods with Tikkap who was eating, and then went straight into the kitchen... After greeting Mr. Rim, she walked straight into one of the doors inside the kitchen.

There were many large gates here before, and Yinla wondered if they contained all sorts of ingredients. Now that she thinks about it, they probably contained a considerable amount of wealth belonging to the Demon King.

Walking through one of the doors in the kitchen, what greeted Illa and Tops' eyes was a very wide corridor... no, not just wide, but rather a densely packed corridor on both sides.

The corridor itself is extremely long... The end of the corridor in the distance seems to be thousands of meters away, or even further than it appears—it is a rather huge warehouse.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I always find it amazing..."

Tops couldn't help but say, the wonder he was referring to wasn't the demiplane technology, which he had seen enough of back in the Three Towers. He said, "Mr. Rim's hobby is being a chef... I don't mean to look down on chefs, I just find it strange."

Indeed, the status of chefs in this world is not high... because often, the position of chef is held part-time by kitchen maids or bakery maids. Only those who are recognized as "chefs" or "master chefs" have a good social status.

Although still considered a servant, that level of servant already surpassed the vast majority of commoners...

Is that strange?

Yinla replied casually.

"Somewhat, after all, Mr. Slime is [Silentio], right? I'm quite confident in my knowledge... The only slime capable of taking human form is the Silent Slime."

As he said this, Tops pointed to his throat and said, "After unleashing the Silent Domain... even legendary mages would be helpless, and it would be a formidable opponent even against those outside the realm of reason."

Indeed, the Silent Species is not a race... no, you could say it's a race, but many different creatures exist as Silent Species, though slimes, slime, and elemental spirits make up 99% of them.

It is generally believed that the "Silent Race" is a symbol of bloodline, a symbol of possessing a thin lineage of the "Silent God Vark"... In other words, Mr. Rim is also a descendant of the gods.
