◎A row of demon soldiers’ buttocks were hung on the low wall◎
After erasing all the exaggerated decorations in the design and reducing the size of the entire palace by two-thirds, Warren looked at the design on the blackboard and felt that there was no problem. He handed it back to Tiechui with satisfaction.
"That's all," he said. "Don't worry, finish building the Dark Iron Dwarves' settlement first."
Tiechui's face was full of disapproval, as if "such a small palace is too unfair to you". Hearing this, he quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay. We live quite well where we are now. Of course, we should build the Demon King's Palace first!"
"Where will I live if you demolish the Demon King's Palace?" Warren patted his head, smiled and said in a different way, "Build your residence beautifully, and I'll stay at your house for a few days."
Tiechui: !!
He was so excited that the tip of his tail stood up straight, and his voice trembled: "Yes, my king!"
Watching Tiechui happily leave the hall, Warren chuckled, shook his head, and continued to study his new cards.
He asked the Dark Iron Dwarves to make the simplest building blocks and puzzles with wooden blocks. The building blocks were dyed in several colors and the puzzles were also painted with colorful pictures, and then he gave them to the cubs playing in the kindergarten.
He also made a Rubik's Cube with great interest and asked a lich to help enchant it. Every time a side of the same color was assembled, a magic effect would be triggered, showing an animation for a few seconds.
...
...
After fiddling with it for a while, Warren casually gave the Rubik's Cube to Little Tok in the corner.
As for the more difficult bubble machines and clockwork dolls, they would require some further study. Warren stood up from the throne, stretched, and decided to go out for some fresh air first.
Staying in the relatively dim environment of the Demon King's Palace for a long time, he always had an inexplicable sense of panic, which was why he did not refuse the proposal to rebuild the Demon King's Palace.
After leaving the Demon King's Palace and strolling for a while, Warren decided to go over and take a look, thinking that the demon soldiers should all be eating in the cafeteria.
Since the introduction of the currency system, the cafeteria has changed to an ordering system, where demons can choose the food they want to buy. The biggest problem with this mode of operation is that there will be a lot of leftovers, so the chefs will save the leftover food until the next day, reheat it in the pot, and sell it at a lower price.
Most demons were not that particular. In the past, they could swallow food that had rotted after being left out for a month, let alone overnight food. Therefore, these leftovers sold at a reduced price were the most popular and would be sold out in a short time after being put on the display.
“But foods like French fries and popcorn won’t taste good the next day,” Warren said to himself. “We can consider separating these snacks from the main meals in the cafeteria and selling them separately. That way, they can be fried and sold right after, so there’s no need to worry about waste.”
Ever since soybean oil came into being, the Demon King's Palace has launched a food carnival. Various fried foods have appeared one after another, making the demons so delicious that they shed tears.
While thinking about future plans, Warren passed by a kindergarten and saw a row of demon buttocks hanging on the low wall of the kindergarten.
“…”
He stopped in surprise and looked up.
Thirty or forty demons huddled together, staring at the cubs in the kindergarten playing with puzzles, their tails wagging wildly.
"Look at that puzzle," the magic soldier Alex tried to lower his voice so as not to scare the cubs, but he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his tone, "It shows the tortoise and the hare race!"
"The puzzle on the right is about a little fox who can't eat grapes and says the grapes are sour," said the Winged Demon Feiwu, biting his hand in envy. "Oops, he made a mistake! That piece of the puzzle should be placed under the fox's paw!"
Warren coughed lightly.
Suddenly hearing the voice of their king, the demons turned back in horror.
Alec was startled, lost his balance, and fell off the low wall. He subconsciously grabbed Feiwu's ankle, and Feiwu quickly grabbed the sleeve of another demon beside him... The last demon, along with another one, fell to the ground with a crackling sound, like sesame dumplings just out of the pot.
Warren looked at this group of clowns helplessly: "What are you doing?"
Feiwu struggled and tried to crawl out of the pile of demons, his face flushed: "We heard that you made new toys for the cubs today."
The swings, slides and seesaws in the kindergarten were extremely fun. It was said that the king got inspiration from the playing cubs and built them specifically for them. Later, all the demons found them fun and built the same facilities in their residences. They would play with them for a while every night before going to bed.
So when they found out that the king had made new toys for the cubs, all the demons came to visit happily. They didn't expect to see exquisite and beautiful puzzles and building blocks that could be built into a big castle. They were so envious that they even skipped their meals and huddled together to watch the cubs play puzzles.
"How old are you all?" Warren laughed and held his forehead. "Okay, go eat quickly. I'll make a puzzle for you in a few days."
The demons cheered softly, "Yeah!"
At the Demon King's urging, they happily rushed to the cafeteria. Alex hesitated for a moment, then followed Warren closely, his eyes sparkling: "My King, I heard that you rejected the plan to lay animal skins in the Demon King's Palace? Do you want to reconsider it? Animal skin rugs are very comfortable!"
"You proposed this plan?" Warren didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How did you come up with such an extravagant and wasteful thing?"
Although most of the clothes in the Demon King's Palace are now woven with magic cotton, animal skins still play an important role. They can be made into boots, leather bags, and parasols. The furs of some magical beasts can also be used as magic raw materials.
Warren felt pain just by calculating in his mind how many animal skins would be used as carpets throughout the Demon King's Palace.
"No waste! I can hunt those animal skins myself!" Alex patted his chest, full of pride, "Don't worry, my king, I guarantee they will all be brightly colored! I remember there is a kind of Kirkdo beast in the Forbidden Plains with green fur, and there is also a fire whale, which is bright red and green and looks super good!"
Warren's mouth twitched, and he refused decisively: "No."
He could almost imagine the eye-catching appearance of the Demon King's Palace. He rubbed his forehead and looked at the pitiful-looking demon soldier Alex beside him. He couldn't help laughing and knocked him hard on the head.
Just as he was about to send Alex to eat, he suddenly heard a noise in the distance. Warren frowned slightly and turned to look over there.
"Are the demons fighting?" Alex, the captain of the demon army, immediately became alert.
When he entered the combat state, the silly aura on his body suddenly changed. The whole demon became very aggressive, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he jumped nimbly to the roof next to him.
After looking around for a while, Alex jumped back to the ground, looked at his king, and scratched his ear: "It seems that there is a fight among the tree demons? Should we go and separate them?"
Warren nodded: "Go ahead."
After receiving the order, Alex took action immediately, rushed over like lightning, and disappeared almost in an instant.
Warren was not in a hurry, as he couldn't run fast anyway, so he just walked slowly towards that side. By the time he walked over, the demon soldiers had already pinned down all the tree demons participating in the fight.
It is dinner time now and most of the demons are in the cafeteria. There are not many demons around here. Apart from the patrolling demon soldiers and Alex who came to help, there are only a dozen tree demons.
The tree demons were covered in bruises and purples, and it was obvious that the battle was fierce. Now that they were suppressed by the demon soldiers, they stopped fighting and insulted each other, and the sound was so loud that it could be heard hundreds of meters away.
"Shut up," Alex glared impatiently, "The kindergarten is not far from here. If you teach the Demon King's Palace cubs bad things, I will throw you all into the lava lake!"
When he had a stern face, he was full of murderous intent, to the extent that he had scared the Slime Tribe to the point of sliding down on their knees and paying tribute. How could these tree demons withstand it? Their legs and feet became weak, and they were all silent, not daring to make a sound anymore.
Warren walked closer, but was very cautious not to move forward. He glanced at the tree demon casually: "What happened?"
He was still quite friendly. After all, the work ability of the Tree Demons was impeccable. In the farming team, they were almost equivalent to mobile tillers and underground monster catchers, which greatly improved work efficiency.
Besides, the tree demons were fighting among themselves, which neither endangered the demons in the Demon King's Palace nor damaged the houses and tools of the Demon King's Palace. It was not worth getting angry about.
However, the already nervous tree demons turned even paler with fear when they saw the Demon King show up.
They were just fighting within their tribe and had no intention of provoking the demon soldiers from the Demon King's Palace. Now they had attracted the Demon King's attention, which was simply adding insult to injury.
The tree demon that fought the most fiercely closed his eyes, probably thinking that if he retreated, he would still be hurt, so he just ignored everything and complained loudly: "My lord, our leader forced us to return to our tribe!"
The chief of the tree demons, who was also held down, gnashed his teeth in anger. He was afraid that the Demon King would misunderstand that he didn't want his people to stay in the Demon King's Palace, so he quickly explained: "I don't want them all to go back, I want to bring a few more tree demons here! They have been studying in the Demon King's Palace for so long, they should take turns."
Warren raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not express his opinion. He looked at them indifferently.
"I don't want to go back to my clan," the first tree demon didn't dare to speak in a fierce tone in front of the Demon King. "Our clan leader doesn't want to rotate at all. He just wants his trusted followers to come. He felt that the Demon King's Palace was full of dangers, so he sent us to investigate the situation. Now that he sees that we are doing well, he wants to let other demons come to enjoy the good life. Why?"
Warren rubbed his fingertips, a little curious about what kind of life these tree demons lead in their tribe - the treatment these exchange and internship demons enjoy in the Demon King's Palace is not high. Their daily salary is only one copper coin more than those liches on punishment period. They can only eat the lowest level of basic meals, and they have to save copper coins for several days before they can have a good meal. This can actually be called a blessing?
The Tree Demon Clan leader's face flushed. The internal conflicts of this clan were exposed in front of the Demon King, which made him feel very embarrassed. He was furious and threatened the Tree Demons angrily: "If you make trouble again, I will expel you from the Tree Demon Clan!"
The tree demon was also angry: "Who is afraid of who? I don't want to stay in the tribe anymore!"
The demon soldier Alex, who had been listening to the entire process, tilted his head, subconsciously looked up, and glanced at his king.
The author has something to say:
-
Warren (rubbing his hands): Expel it! I'll leave the tree demon behind!
-
I don't have a fever anymore, but I still feel weak all over... I may only update once today. I'll continue writing if I feel better after a nap. Don't wait for me.
