"Logically speaking, it's probably the same as other potions. For every hundred pounds of the product, one pound of anti-magic stone powder needs to be added to ensure that the ingredients cannot be easily analyzed."

As Vera said this, she jumped hard on the cement, looking at the very solid cement. She said, "And although it looked amazing before, after it hardened, it looks just like a normal stone pavement."

Indeed, hardened cement, with its numerous tiny pores, really does look like a low-quality stone slab and probably won't attract much attention.

"I just don't know if this thing called cement will become less useful."

Vera casually wiped her shoes on the cement and kicked it lightly. Her clever mind immediately saw the greater value of the cement. She said, "It would be super strong if used to build a castle."

Vera, whose mind occasionally sparks with brilliance, is indeed right. As an adhesive, cement has advantages that volcanic ash and rammed earth cannot match, and it truly is a symbol of industry and wisdom.

Did you bring an anti-magic stone?

Yinla asked this question.

Vera simply rolled her eyes at Yinla's words and retorted, "Why would a lich like me carry around an anti-magic stone? I'm not crazy. Go find Youyou."

That's true.

"Then please wait here for a moment."

Realizing this was indeed the case, Yinla said embarrassedly, then twisted her neck and unfolded the [Wings] belonging to Tekkamane. She recited the words given by the World Tree once more: "Sky Pillar Tekkamane - Wing Manifestation!"

As the pale purple and pale pink Mana scattered, Ira's body, with illusory wings identical to those of a succubus unfurling from her back, also quickly faded and disappeared into the space.

Vera stared blankly in the direction where Yinla had disappeared, and she began to truly realize the convenience of [Virtual Realm Travel]... and of course, the terrifying power of Yinla's abilities.

It's worth mentioning that the anti-magic stone is not like the sea stone, which can render a power user unable to use their abilities simply by touching it. Its function is to block Mana and prevent her from using her abilities.

In other words, the armor made of anti-magic stones can effectively block incoming mana attacks, but unfortunately... it cannot block the explosions and shockwaves caused by them.

Only prolonged contact, or even prolonged penetration into the user's body, can cause mana to malfunction, such as the anti-magic stone shackles deeply embedded in the palms of people in the demiplane prison beneath the Demon King's Hall.

However, since the anti-magic stone has the function of suppressing magic, even though the production volume is not small and it is not a precious item, it is still a strategic resource that needs to be regulated.

"I'm back."

Two minutes later, Yinla returned with the anti-magic stone in her hand, seemingly having received it from Youyou with ease... She just gave it to her like that, that's the Demon King's territory.

"Well then, let's give it another try. If there are no problems, can we start building the road?"

As Vera spoke, watching Yinla grind the anti-magic stone into powder, she prepared to chant a water-making spell. Thinking of the terrible conditions of the dirt roads outside the Demon King's castle, she said, "Finally, I don't have to endure the muddy ground anymore."

Indeed, if it rains later, the ground won't become a mess. But shouldn't we give shoes to little demons and goblins who don't wear shoes?

Walking barefoot on a dirt road is fine, but running barefoot on a concrete road feels like torture... Let's just give them shoes.

However, this adds up to a large number of shoes when considering wear and tear.

"Does the Demon King's territory have flax? I don't remember seeing it before."

As Yinla continued working on the cement as usual, he said, "We need to put shoes on the little demons and goblins, otherwise the cement will rub against their feet... Should we give them leather shoes? We probably won't have enough leather."

Now, Vera and Illa, or rather, the races in the Demon Lord's territory that need to wear shoes, are all wearing leather shoes... although most people don't wear shoes, if the leg armor of the Headless Knight and the Black Knight can be considered barefoot.

The fairies fly, Yuyu flies, Rainbow Shell has chitinous shells on its feet, and Mr. Rim goes without saying... it's even hard to say that Mr. Rim is wearing clothes.

"The Demon King's territory only grows cotton, not hemp."

Vera wiggled her feet as she spoke, looking at Illa and saying, "I do miss my mage shoes, but do the little demons and goblins really need to wear shoes?"

Vera rubbed her hands vigorously against the cement, then casually shrugged, saying, "It won't hurt your feet at all, will it? Didn't you notice? The dirt roads are covered in gravel and straw, but they'll feel more comfortable with cement, won't they?"

is that so?

Yinla, who hadn't really paid attention, tilted his head in confusion. At that moment, he began to realize just how terrible the working environment was for those little monsters.

That's why Ira knows all too well that what she's doing is nothing... Leading the Demon Lord's territory and working to make things better is no more noble than the work of those little demons who do their best to plant.

The nobles of the empire were unaware of this. They worked four or five hours a day, spent two or three hours drinking tea and eating snacks, and then considered themselves to be making a great contribution to their territory.
