After such a long delay, it's finally time to get back to building up the Demon King's territory. How should I put it... Yinla feels like she's playing a farming idle game—after being idle for so long, resources are plentiful again, and she can finally unleash her full potential once more.
The first thing to do is to re-plan the layout of the Demon King's territory.
Well, the current layout of buildings in the Demon Lord's territory is not very reasonable. There is a considerable distance between pastures and farms, and also a long distance between them and the settlements of lesser demons and goblins.
Although it doesn't look too far on the map, the real Demon King's Territory is actually much larger than a typical "manor" in imagination; in reality, it's a very long distance.
The mill and cooking workshop are quite far from the food heating and distribution points, but the slimes don't care about traveling there. The locations are relatively close to the goblins and lesser demons.
However, it would be more troublesome for other races that are further away, such as the insectoids in the military area. They need to eat, so according to Rainbow Shell, they are too lazy to come and ask the slimes to heat it up, and they just roast the mushrooms themselves and eat them.
After all, they were all soldiers. They weren't exactly unfamiliar with cooking, but they were completely clueless. So it was common for them to eat whatever they could find after roasting the fish.
The blacksmith shops and leatherworkers were not clustered together, but scattered in various corners of the Demon King's territory. If the lesser demons and goblins' tools broke, they had no way to replace them themselves.
We must inform the little fairies, and then have a little fairy who knows the way go to exchange... Even little fairies can get lost, especially those little fairies who were captured by giant bees in the forest and have only recently joined the Demon King's territory.
They were even more confused.
Not to mention the centaurs from the centaur territory who recently arrived in the Demon King's territory, and the liches who want to purchase some iron tools... Therefore, it is imperative to implement a modular layout in the Demon King's territory.
"Your Highness, Lady Yinla, good morning!"
Yinla: "Mmm."
"Greetings, Your Highness Satan and Lord Yinla."
Yinla: "Okay."
While responding to the monsters walking along the road, Yinla scribbled on the parchment in his hand, recording the number and scale of specific buildings—it was a huge undertaking.
When the time comes, the liches should use the [Building Snap] spell to move the house and its foundation together, just like the [Building Mode] in a construction game, which allows you to move buildings to another location.
Saving on materials is one thing, but the main point is that the internal structure of the building will not change, making it more convenient for these monsters to continue living there. Moreover, the original neighbors will remain neighbors, and their relative positions will not change.
“Mr. Yinla, watch the road.”
"Lord Yinla!"
Despite the warnings from Satan Ye and the little monsters around her, Yinla, who was writing and drawing with her head down, still couldn't stop. As she looked up, she bumped into a centaur who was shopping.
You can instantly feel that the temperature of a horse's body is much higher than that of a human.
"Feel sorry."
As the other person looked over, Yinla nodded and apologized... This was quite normal, but according to the usual imperial nobles, they would only glance at the other person and then walk away.
If things get a little out of hand, they might even kick the other person and complain that they're blocking their way... This is legal because the Empire's laws clearly stipulate the "right to use the road."
In other words, the road belonged to the nobles, and commoners were allowed to use it because of the nobles' bestowal. However, if a commoner obstructed a noble's use of the road, the most severe punishment would be a fine of 5 silver coins and 10 lashes... The lashes could be offset with money.
But commoners usually couldn't afford the money, even the five silver coins. They either had to gather the coins before seven sunrises and sunsets or become slaves to nobles to pay off their debts.
At first glance, it seems like there's nothing wrong with it, but if you ignore the process and look at the worst-case scenario... a commoner who was just buying something on the street was bumped into by a nobleman, and then his whole family became slaves.
It's ridiculous that everything will turn out entirely according to the nobles' own conscience...
"Quack! It's Inra!"
!
The centaur woman, whose breastplate was covered with leather and thatch, was clearly startled when she saw Yinla. She cried out, took two steps back, and looked at Yinla nervously, saying, "I didn't notice you, I'm so sorry."
Was it really necessary to go to such lengths? I remember after dealing with the lizardmen's territory, we didn't even fight the centaur territory before you surrendered, right? Or is the trauma from the battlefield too deep?
Thinking this, Yin Lawen shook his head and looked at the store, which he didn't seem to recognize before. He comforted her and said, "It's okay, I wasn't paying attention. What are you buying?"
Seeing that Yinla didn't seem angry, the centaur woman felt a little relieved and replied, "I want to buy some food, but the shopkeeper doesn't seem willing to sell it to me."
Unwilling to sell? Is it discrimination against centaurs? That's not good...
Thinking this, Yinla raised her head, looked at the helpless little fairy, and then looked up again—
[Hay Shop]
"???"
Amidst Yinla's puzzled expression, the centaur woman took out her money pouch, pointed to the pile of grass behind the shop, and said, "That's it. We often eat it when we're in our own territory."
That's alfalfa! It's for feeding cows and horses!
Wait... a horse?
"..."
Wait, so the centaurs' staple food is pasture? Then there's alfalfa here in the Demon King's territory, and I even asked the Empire's merchants for seeds. Was that really necessary...?
"Lady Yinla...is this really appropriate?"
The little fairy asked timidly.
"Yes, we use this fodder to...feed the animals."
Satan Ye also spoke weakly.
"..."
Yinla didn't know what to say. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and, while making a claw gesture to brush the centaur woman's fur, said, "Sell it. Make sure it's clean, and then sell it at the normal price!"
"..."
"oh oh……"
The little fairy answered helplessly, then picked up the hay and washed it in the clear water beside her... She didn't know how clean it was, but she figured she might as well wash it as clean as possible.
"..."
The centaur woman looked very comfortable, kicking her hind legs casually and swishing her tail happily. She looked at Inra, whom she was holding, and said nothing... because she really felt comfortable.
Yinla scratched the horse's body, using his hands like a brush.
Satan Leaf: Stare~
...
For some reason, Yinla always manages to make the monsters feel good, and she always manages to find the exact action that will make them feel pleasure... She's too skilled at it.
Yin, the double champion of the Federation's simulated dog-petting contest.
