"Mr. Ira, is the manufacture of fertilizer something we can't tell you?"
Satan asked this question, looking up at Ira.
"Yes."
"That's true."
Ira and Shilina gave their answers at the same time.
"Hmm..."
Satanye pondered, her little mind clearly understanding the significance of fertilizer to the Demon King's territory. She looked at Ira and asked, "What do you want? What can I offer in exchange?"
"..."
Iraq did not answer.
"Gold coins? Even in the Silvermoon Tree Garden, gold coins are still useful, right?"
Ira couldn't help but smile at Sirina's words. He said, "But you don't have many gold coins left, do you...? Maybe the Demon King's castle only has silver coins left."
No, that's still too exaggerated... Even if they're this poor, they still have gold coins; it would be more accurate to say they have no crystal coins at all.
The monetary system in this world is very conventional, consisting of the exchange of copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, and a general equivalent called "Mana Crystals (Crystal Coins)," but it is not based on the logic of 100 to 1 that often appears in novels.
The exchange rate between gold and silver coins was 1 to 12, meaning one gold coin could be exchanged for twelve silver coins.
The exchange rate between silver and copper coins was 1 to 16, meaning one silver coin could be exchanged for sixteen copper coins.
The logic is quite simple: 192 copper coins can be exchanged for one gold coin. However, because the stamps and specifications of coins minted by different countries are different, the value of gold coins is also different; the value of silver coins and copper coins is the same.
The exchange rate for Imperial Thorn Gold Coins is 1 to 12, while the exchange rate for the more robust Flower Crown Garden (Silver Moon Tree Garden) Gold Coins is 1 to 15.
The Papal Platinum Coins, which incorporated other metals, were exchanged at a ratio of 1 Platinum Coin to 9 Silver Coins...
"Haha, even in this situation, we still have gold coins..."
Sylvia chuckled softly.
"Haha, you're right..."
Iraq responded with a smile.
It was quite obvious that Shirina was going to take the initiative to move on from this topic, which was also what Ira was thinking... It wasn't that he was unwilling to explain, but that he couldn't accept the fact that already existed.
Even though he knew it was true.
However, Satan Ye didn't understand the meaning of their conversation. She was seriously thinking about how to exchange for the formula, and then asked earnestly, "Mr. Ira... I heard you like lolis?"
"..."
Ira: "???"
Sylvia: "???"
"You can't just say that carelessly. I can't really say I like it."
Ira rubbed his nose in annoyance. He looked at Satan Ye, who probably didn't quite understand what "loli" meant, and said, "You heard it from Vera, right?"
"Um."
Sure enough, after Ira mentioned the word to Yuther unconsciously, Yuther learned to use it, and then Vera also learned it. Almost everyone in the Empire understood it, and after Isabella understood the meaning, she looked at Ira with a strange look for a long time.
Now, thanks to Vera, many monsters, including Sirina, may have come to understand.
Do you know what "loli" means?
As Ira spoke, he looked at Satan Ye's Lolita-style dress and suddenly realized that Satan Ye fit the bill quite well, both from a fundamentalist perspective and from the perspective of the deconstructed term "Lolita."
"Hmm, a little girl who's as delicious as a radish, and can be called Lila...like me."
This explanation is strange, but it doesn't seem to make any mistake.
But were you really aware of that before?! You were also aware that you were a loli, weren't you?!
Ira's lips twitched, and for a moment she didn't know how to retort... The name Lila, in the Empire, is similar to "Xiao Fang" or "Xiao Hong" in her previous life. It is indeed a name that can make people think of a loli as soon as they hear it.
"Lord Demon King..."
Sylvanas said awkwardly, seemingly understanding that the term wasn't interpreted that way, but it was clear that she felt Ira wasn't someone who liked lolis either; relatively speaking, the imperial nobles might prefer that.
"How about I order the selection of lolis from across the entire territory for you?"
Satan Ye, who was looking at Ira expectantly after saying this, waiting for his answer, couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, please don't... hahahahaha, that's too outrageous~"
"Huh?"
Although Satan Ye didn't quite understand, she knew she had misunderstood. She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and looked at the ground, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ira."
"..."
"Sigh, never mind..."
As he spoke, Ira reached out and touched Satan Leaf's head, as if he had made a decision. He said, "Let the idle monsters collect dry grass, wood chips, and the ash from burning the wood. Then, once the latrine is built, collect the excrement inside."
That's strange. We were talking about fertilizer before, but now the topic has suddenly jumped to ash and manure.
Satan didn't quite understand, but Shirina immediately thought of a possibility. Her eyes widened instantly, her beautiful heart-shaped pupils sparkling with expectation, and she said, "Lady Ira, could it be?"
It's so realistic. Before, they called him "Sir," but now they call him "Master."
"You probably don't understand what 'fermentation' or 'maturation' means. Using flour fermentation as an analogy will definitely make you feel uncomfortable, so I'll just talk about the process and procedures."
