After Being Betrayed by the Empire, I Decided to Support the Demon King

Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...

Chapter 109 Goblin Awakening

In fact, Illa had been thinking before that since goblins were all mechanical experts when they were still called goblins, should we cultivate some of their mechanical talents?

In that case, the modifications to the facilities within the Demon King's territory would no longer need to go through his hands...

Now, Yinla has to plan the overall strategy of the Demon King's territory, cultivate Satan Ye's combat power, and control the details of the Demon King's territory. Even architectural design, Demon King construction, and talent recruitment are all handled by him.

While it is indeed reassuring, if things continue like this... he really won't be able to hold on any longer.

Now, at least in terms of production improvements, the goblins have begun to take matters into their own hands. Although it is unknown what specific improvement plans they have come up with, even if they are insignificant or even meaningless modifications, Illa is prepared to give them high praise.

Only by giving encouragement can we continue to nurture the creativity of the little monsters.

"So, what are the specific renovation plans?"

As Yinla walked to the factory, he asked this question, while the little fairies accompanying him looked on with reminiscing expressions, and then said rather vaguely:

"I remember many."

"First of all"

"The Blood Pool"

"Dig a hole"

"sink"

"Use cement"

"Making pipes"

"Pour it in"

"flow out"

"..."

Although it was said in a very vague way, Yinla still understood. He opened his eyes wide with surprise and had almost guessed the goblins' improvement plan... This was truly a very exciting thing.

It's gravity-based sewage disposal, a system used from the pre-Ira world, through the ultra-ancient era, all the way to the ultra-ancient era.

Goblin: "Goblin! Lady Illa is here!"

Goblin: "Goblin, goblin, yay!"

Little Imp: "Goblin Goblin!"

Wait, why are the lesser demons also using "Goblin Goblin"? What's going on? Did their accents get affected? But that's just a verbal tic... Can verbal tics be affected too?

As Yinla was thinking this, Vera, who was yawning beside her, rubbed her messy hair and said, "Hey, Yinla, the goblin said he has some factory improvement plans. They sound pretty good, but I'm not sure, so I sent the little fairy to find you."

Vera looked exhausted and overworked.

"It's getting late..."

As Yinla spoke, he mentioned that he had spent the morning and noon helping Xiaogang complete the construction of the large bathhouse. Now, looking at the sky, it was already afternoon. He asked Vera, who looked tired, "Why do you look like you just woke up? Were you doing experiments all night?"

Vera answered this decisively—

"Ah, I rewarded myself all night, until the early hours of the morning... Just kidding."

Vera, who was casually telling dirty jokes, saw that Yinla was dressed as a sheep and about to hit her, so she quickly changed her tune and said, "The goblins have a lot of new plans, listen to them... I can't remember them all."

As expected, Vera was unreliable.

With an admiring look in her eyes, Illa, after Vera rolled her eyes, looked at the seemingly excited goblin and praised him: "You did a great job, thank you very much for your efforts in improving... Wait, don't you look a little familiar?"

As she spoke, Yinla looked at the scar on the little goblin's head and suddenly remembered something. She said, "Are you the goblin who suggested using the curved shaft... the goblin plow?"

"Yes, yes, Goblin~"

The goblin said this, and seemed quite pleased to receive Illa's praise. However, he quickly got down to business, saying, "Goblin, we think that constantly moving and dumping the giant bee's carcass is too inefficient."

“There are those flowing stones. You can first dig a trench in the ground, then use those to pave the trench, and let it flow down into the pool of lesser demons. You just need to dig down the soil at the bottom of the pool.”

The goblin with a scar on his head gestured wildly, while the goblin next to him added, "Goblin, after the demonic insect turns into a lesser demon, climb up the ladder... or the stairs."

"..."

That makes sense, absolutely makes sense.

Yinla nodded with satisfaction. He didn't know why he felt a sense of accomplishment, like "My child has made something of himself!" He nodded and said, "Very good, this plan is completely feasible, but... how deep do you think the Blood (Demon) Pool should be dug?"

The goblins hadn't considered this question. They looked at each other, and then the scarred goblin tentatively asked, "So, Lord Yinla, you mean... we dug too deep, so it won't work?"

That's not what I meant.

"Of course it's not impossible. Actually, I don't plan to get directly involved in this matter. I'll just observe from the sidelines and give you some hints... I'll bring Xiaogang and the others over. You can design and come up with the ideas yourselves. It's okay if you make mistakes. Just try it step by step."

As she said this, amidst the goblins' delighted expressions, Yinla counted the number of people and said, "You eleven goblins... plus two lesser demons and one ice demon, let's start modifying you for now and stop production."

If this were in the Empire, these little monsters would undoubtedly have been promoted, but this is the Demon King's territory... They won't be arrogant or complacent. Such children are very useful and pure-hearted tools.

Although it sounds harsh, Illa couldn't find a more suitable summary.

"Why don't you tell me about other ways to improve this?"

As Yinla said this, she felt that the design of the unloading process was the best improvement, and the rest were probably just add-ons that would not help improve productivity.

“Gob, Lady Vera said that roasted wings can be burned for a long time. Even after they melt in water, they can continue to burn. So we can make a big vat and keep burning the wings inside, then keep throwing them in and pouring in venom.”

In other words, has each heating process been turned into a standardized procedure?

Yinla was unsure and looked at Vera, who shrugged and said, "It's feasible, but it's not easy to keep the super-large tank boiling, and the cooling process is also very long... But actually, multiple processes can be combined."

As she spoke, Vera gestured in the air in a way that Yinla couldn't understand, saying, "You can put the materials from three or five giant bees into the same batch of water and heat it. Then add three parts of venom gland extract and take out the coarsely processed water that has separated from the surface."

Wouldn't that be great? If the back end of the five giant bees' assembly line is standardized, then we can save four workers.

"Also, when we finally put it into the jar and then pour it into the metal bottle, we always pour it inaccurately. Could you make a small corner on the jar so that the medicine can flow out smoothly? Gob Gob."

A triangular spout? Wouldn't that be perfect?

"Gob Gob, and there's more..."

"Gob, I feel like..."

"..."

Yinla: Shocking! The goblins' Great Machine Bloodline has awakened?!
