◎The little lich breathed a sigh of relief◎
"Compared to the Blood Wolf Clan, the Skeleton Warrior Clan, and the Magic Stone Giant Clan, the Lich Clan is the most unique of the four major demon clans in the Demon Realm."
The Nightmare Demon Sur stood in the hall of the Demon King's Palace, telling the stories he knew about the Lich Tribe.
"Among the four major tribes in the Demon Realm, the Stone Giant Tribe has been the dominant tribe in the Demon Realm for tens of thousands of years, and has had several Demon Kings. The Blood Wolf Tribe has been the dominant tribe for quite some time, and although it does not have a Demon King, it is well-known in the Demon Realm for its strong group strength. The Skeleton Warrior Tribe became the dominant tribe through the traditional Demon Realm Challenge. They defeated the former dominant tribe and gained recognition from other demon tribes."
"As for the Liches, they were not even a mid-level demon race."
"Eight hundred years ago, a lich obtained a cursed magic book and led his people to learn soul curse magic. He used soul curse magic to cause a demon who wanted to annex the lich tribe to die of a high fever. From then on, the lich tribe became a feared existence by other demons."
"It just so happened that the Goblin Clan, one of the four major clans in the Demon Realm, was completely destroyed at that time. The Lich Clan gradually replaced the Goblin Clan and became one of the four major clans in the Demon Realm."
At this point, Sur scratched his ear and glanced at the lich cub Tok hiding in the corner of the hall and catching mushrooms: "Most of the demons in the Demon Realm know these things, because the curse magic of the lich clan is too mysterious and unpredictable. Everyone is afraid of being cursed by them and rarely interacts with the lich clan. But when I was young and traveled around the Demon Realm, I did hear that the lich clan leader who led the lich clan to become a powerful clan in the Demon Realm died in a hunt, and the lich clan got a new clan leader. Now it seems that the new clan leader is really bad."
Warren thought for a moment, frowning slightly: "Where did the cursed magic book of the lich tribe come from?"
He still remembered that the Dark Iron Dwarf Chieftain Tiechui once said that eight hundred years ago, a mysterious strong man gave the Dark Iron Dwarfs a magic word of fire, which allowed the Dark Iron Dwarfs to learn how to forge magic weapons. Could this magic book also be related to that mysterious strong man?
...
...
Soul shook his head: "I don't know."
The Cursed Magic Book is the most precious treasure of the Lich Clan. How could a nightmare demon like her dare to ask about it casually? She had wandered in the Demon Realm for several years and was on the verge of death several times, but she was still able to survive. What Sul relied on was this cautiousness that knew when to advance and retreat.
But now that she has the protection of the Demon King, her desire to stir up trouble could not help but surface: "My king, how about we use today's incident as an excuse to let me represent the Demon King's Palace to go on a diplomatic mission to the Lich Clan? I can try to steal the cursed magic book back!"
"Then you will probably be hunted down by the lich tribe," Warren said helplessly. "There is no need for that. Now is not the right time. When the time comes, they will come to see me with the cursed magic book."
If he was chatting with other demons, such as the demon soldier Polly, the silly demons would definitely ask directly and quickly, "Who is the opportunity, and when will it come?" Even smart demons like Feiwu and Arabella, who are used to speaking with their fists, would be confused by a vague and even mysterious word like "timing".
However, the person in front of Warren was Sur, a rare demon who was good at using strategies among the stupid demons. When he heard the word "opportunity", he was not surprised but happy, and looked at the Demon King with admiration in his eyes.
Warren calmly took a sip of the lava slime bubble tea and watched Soul walk away with a look of admiration on his face, looking back every few steps.
——In the Demon King's Palace, only Sur and the goblin Siri have the ability to come up with a whole bunch of ideas in their imagination and then convince all other demons.
In fact, he just doesn't have enough strength. If he fights with the lich, he will not be able to break the opponent's curse power at all.
"When can I draw a card that is immune to curses..."
He sighed in his heart, turned his head to look at the lich Tok who was squatting in the corner silently, then quickly looked away without saying anything. He opened the system memo and continued to perfect his demon currency plan, completely ignoring Tok, as if Tok did not exist.
In this state of being ignored, Toke's tense body slowly relaxed.
He still didn't move, his back pressed against the cold wall, and he squeezed himself into the corner as much as possible. His stiff fingers quietly reached forward and grabbed a ball of cotton wool that had fallen at his feet while cleaning. He held it in his palm as if it were a treasure, and then nervously looked at Warren's reaction.
Warren still didn't pay attention to him, didn't even raise his head.
The little lich breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Before going to the cafeteria for lunch at noon, Warren placed two fried meat and egg pancakes, a piece of chocolate and a cup of lava slime bubble tea on the low wooden table next to the throne.
He stood up leisurely and walked out the door slowly without looking in Toke's direction. When he reached the door, he looked up at the sky outside the corridor window and said to himself, "It's so hot today. If we don't finish the food on the table quickly, it will go bad."
After saying that, he closed the door and left.
The little lich hiding in the corner moved his ears. After nearly half an hour, he hesitantly lifted his hood and moved slowly towards the throne.
The sunlight shone on the hall, seeming to reflect the shadow of a flying insect. The lich, who was just halfway there, looked over vigilantly, rushed back to the corner silently but quickly, and shrank into a grayish-white ball again.
After a long time, the big eyes covered with shadows blinked slowly twice, and the head appeared again. It looked around, stood up slowly, walked forward a few steps, quickly stepped back, looked around in horror for a moment, and walked forward a few more steps. After trying many times, it finally walked to a place not far from the coffee table. The whole lich turned into black mist, bit the chocolate fiercely, and then went into the corner without looking back.
After a while, the black fog quietly floated back, and the fog turned into long strips, sweeping away the lava slime bubble tea that was no longer steaming.
…
Warren left the hall not only to make room for Tok to eat, but also because he had something else to do.
The bean sprouts that had been grown in the Demon King's Palace were now edible. The chefs made a large pot of stir-fried bean sprouts and meat, and many demons fell in love with the taste of bean sprouts.
The prototype of the magic device for squeezing soybean oil has also been made. Tiechui and Feiwu have been very busy these days - literally. The impatient Feiwu even drags Tiechui over to eat - considering that Feiwu still has a job in the hunting team and Tiechui has a lot of forging tasks to shoulder, Warren feels that if they continue like this, they will both be exhausted.
Therefore, he decided to put the institutional reform of the Demon King's Palace on the agenda, preferably to be completed together with the promotion of currency.
In addition, the management of the Demon King's Palace is also very chaotic now. Apart from him, the Demon King, who is the absolute superior, the management scope and responsibilities of the hunting team captains, clan leaders and even factory managers are unclear. They all rely on him to directly assign work, so the management of the Demon King's Palace also has to be clarified and redistributed.
However, making such a big change rashly could easily cause panic among the demons.
Warren knew that he held a high status in the hearts of the demons in the Demon King's Palace. If he pushed forward with all his strength, he would most likely be able to achieve a smooth transition. However, the four major clans in the Demon Realm were still eyeing him covetously, and the BUFF of Rebellion X3 had never been eliminated. He was powerless and had no room for error. So of course, the safer the better.
"So I think we need to lay the groundwork before we officially start the reform," Warren said as he talked to the system while walking on the road. "Taking care of everyone's emotions can also make this change go more smoothly."
The system didn't want to talk. It made a weak "beep" sound and a transparent pop-up window popped up.
[The number of magic crystals detected: 0, the system energy is too low, and the chat function has been closed.]
Warren twitched his lips, feeling that the card drawing system shutting down the chat function had nothing to do with the so-called low energy.
However, he did not have to chat with the system. He mainly wanted to sort out his thoughts. Seeing that the system was unwilling to pay attention to him, he shrugged helplessly and did not force it. He thought about the next plan and quickly walked into the military camp.
The demon soldier Alex was leading the demon soldiers in training trap making. He saw the figure of the demon king from afar and ran over happily: "My king! Are you coming to watch our training?"
He jumped and danced around Warren, his tail swinging back and forth behind him, and he was so excited that the tip of his tail almost hit his head.
Warren smiled and shook his head, then walked closer to the magic soldiers in training: "Everyone has worked hard in training, take a few minutes to rest."
A group of demon soldiers happily sat on the ground around the king, all looking up at him.
"How are you doing lately?" Warren said cheerfully, chatting with the demon soldiers as if they were chatting about family matters. "There are a lot more demons in the Demon King's Palace now. Are you getting along well?"
"We get along very well," the demon soldiers replied obediently, "Don't worry, my king, we will never cause you any trouble!"
"Then do you think there are areas for improvement?" Warren continued to ask without getting discouraged. "Just say whatever comes to your mind without hesitation. Remember when we summarized the habits and weaknesses of the monsters together? To make the Demon King's Palace better and the Demon Realm better, all the demons need to work together."
The demon soldiers nodded in conviction.
They have always strictly followed the requirements of their king, but they are indeed very happy with the current situation of the Demon Palace. Hearing what the king said, they scratched their heads and thought seriously.
Alec was the first to speak. He tilted his head sheepishly and said, "Oh, I have an idea."
Warren looked at him.
Alex said in a low voice: "Can you not put mushrooms in the broth? It really doesn't taste good."
Before he finished speaking, several demon soldiers nearby became anxious: "No! Mushrooms are so delicious!"
…
When the sun had set far below the mountainside, Warren finished a busy afternoon of work and returned to the hall of the Demon King's Palace.
He was thinking about the opinions raised by the magic soldiers, many of which were very valuable, including the dispute between Alex and the magic soldiers about whether mushrooms were delicious, which also gave him new ideas for the operation of the cafeteria. Just as he was about to open the system memo and make a table to sort out his thoughts, he looked up and happened to see the tray placed on the low table.
On the clean tray, a few strands of white cotton wool formed a crooked smiley face pattern.
Warren did not touch the plate. He just collected the cotton wool inside and put it neatly into his pocket. His eyes swept across the little lich catching mushrooms in the corner, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The evening breeze penetrated the gate of the Demon King's Palace, leaving a warm residual heat on the cool walls.
