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 121 Taking Satan Ye Along

The Underground Demon King's Castle was a concept that Yinla had previously seen in a book, something whose authenticity was still unclear... The book mentioned that the Demon King's territory in the past was a rather large and invincible castle.

It was only slightly smaller than the current Demon King's territory, and was divided into inner and outer districts... The inner district was the Demon King's main castle, while the outer district was the territory of various leaders.

At that time, the Demon King's Castle was divided into the above-ground Demon King's Castle and the underground Demon King's Castle, and there were also two kings, the "King of the Ground" and the "King of the Underground", who respectively ruled over the monsters that needed to be exposed to the light and the monsters that did not need to be exposed to the light.

It's a pity that Senata isn't very old. If those old vampires hadn't betrayed her, she might have known some relevant information. But there are no "ifs".

In a betrayal by demonic creatures, the underground Demon King's Castle split off and went to Hell. In this betrayal, only a small number of demonic creatures remained in the Prime Material Plane.

Of the original numerous blood pools, only one remains.

"Intelligence...?"

Yinla pondered as he sat in his room, casually scribbling on a piece of paper. He muttered to himself, "Theocracy, Order, Underground Demon City... Hell... What's the connection between these things?"

Yinla, talking to herself, fell into deep thought.

"The cult that harbors ill will towards me... what is their reason for needing me to go to the theocracy?"

Yinla had this question at this moment, and when he couldn't get an answer, he yawned and looked out the window. At this moment, the Demon King's territory seemed to be very autonomous... and had become more advanced in all aspects.

Automatic watering staffs, automatic fire-starting staffs... Tops is now researching automation engineering for "Bee & Flower Snow Moon" and automation engineering for cement firing.

This will require a long time and a lot of funding... The former is not a big problem, and the latter is even less of a concern, as the Demon King has recently received so much money that he doesn't know what to do with it.

【Bee Flower Snow Moon】 and White Ball Wine are really making a lot of money, although 80% of the profits come from Bee Flower Snow Moon.

(White Ball Wine: If we team up, we're guaranteed to make a killing!)

"Dong dong dong~ Mr. Yin La..."

While Yinla was thinking, Satanye's voice came from outside the door. He got up and opened the door for Satanye, saying, "Satanye? Please come in... What's wrong?"

In response to Yinla's question, Satan Ye blinked and said, "Senata told me that because of the previous beast tide, the Theocracy hired professionals through the Three Towers to help deal with the beast tide, and designated you, Mr. Yinla, to go... The reward is information about the Underground Demon King's City."

It seems everyone knows about this.

Yinla nodded, then showed Satan Ye his parchment, pointing to the notes on it, and said, "I've been thinking about this for a while now. I'm thinking... I don't think I need to rush to the Holy Kingdom for a piece of information."

Yes, it wasn't that she was afraid of a trap, but rather that she felt it was unnecessary. After all, it wasn't being given to her directly; they just wanted to exchange information for labor. Yinla didn't need to go out of her way to be someone else's tool.

The Pope isn't a loli... Pshaw, even if she were a loli, it wouldn't matter. It has nothing to do with whether she's a loli or not.

But could I obtain this intelligence in other ways, through unofficial channels, without fulfilling my duties, and in my own way?

Yin La had this thought, in other words... she wondered if she could steal or deceive people for information?

After all, Yimra never portrayed himself as righteous, nor did he ever use his relatively righteous actions to justify himself by adhering to the moral standards of righteous people... He was always the kind of person who would stop at nothing.

He would unhesitatingly clear away anyone who stood in his way for something he deemed valuable.

"Hmm... even if it's just to help out, it should be quick for you, Mr. Yinla, right?"

As Satan Ye spoke, she seemed quite interested in the topic of the underground Demon King's castle, saying, "Although it's just information, it sounds quite interesting."

Yinla nodded in response. He could see Satan Ye's enthusiasm and said directly, "Well then, I'll go there later, but I might not be able to help... My mentor told me that this nomination might be a trap."

Upon hearing what Yinla said, Satanye immediately fell into thought.

"Hmm, it's a trap... You'd better not go."

Upon hearing Satan Ye's change of heart, Yinla couldn't help but smile. He ruffled Satan Ye's hair and said, "Thank you for your concern, but that's precisely why I need to go... because I need to know why this trap exists."

Or rather, Yinla needs to know who wants to set up this trap, whether it is he who is malicious, or something else related to him that has implicated him... such as malice towards the Demon King's territory.

Yinla needs to know this.

"Moreover, I can guarantee that after I get there, they won't actually give me the information after I help deal with the beast tide. We might just choose a simpler and more direct approach... I'll bring Vera with me."

As Yinla spoke, he no longer hesitated and directly stated his considerations, saying, "You may find this cruel, but I have decided... to capture everyone who might know the truth, even the innocent ones, and let Vera read their souls."

How should I put it? Satan Ye's impression on Ira was that she was a rather naive and innocent girl... I could only say she was rather innocent, so Ira thought she would have a hard time accepting things like "indiscriminate killing of innocents".

"Huh? That's decisive... That sounds interesting~"

As Satan Leaf said this, her tail wagging happily behind her, she blinked and asked, "Mr. Yinla, when are you leaving? Can you take me with you?"

"..."

I almost forgot, this little devil is a bit cunning... I remember when he was training the sirens.

Yinla thought to himself, and opened his mouth, intending to say something like, "However, this trip isn't for fun; it might be quite dangerous along the way," but after thinking about it carefully...

Perhaps... the Church's aim is to lure the enemy away from their prey, and then target Satan?

Thinking about it this way, no matter what the possibility is, staying by Yimra's side is always the safest option...

"Then you can come along. I'll probably inform everyone at the morning meeting tomorrow, arrange some work, and then we'll set off... Now I'll go find Mr. Lamb and have him prepare rations for the journey."

As Yinla spoke, he looked at Satan Ye, who seemed very curious about the [Theocracy], and smiled kindly, saying, "Why don't you come along? This trip will be quite long, so have Mr. Lai make some of your favorite dishes."

Satan Leaf: "Great! I'm going to bring lots of jerky!"

"..."

Watching Satan Leaf run out first, Yinla squinted, rolled up the parchment, and threw it aside... A conspiracy or a trap? Well, let me see.

What kind of cult is it...?

Do they have the guts?
