◎I love teaching the most!◎
Although the demons in the Demon Realm rarely take the wandering demons seriously, and even often say things like "If you leave the tribe, you can only wait for death", the number of wandering demons in the Demon Realm is actually not small. The main reason is that there are too many displaced demons.
The Demon King's Palace is located in the flat Gobi Desert, without the threat of landslides and volcanic eruptions. The demon soldiers are powerful and are not afraid of the invasion of other demons and beasts, so they have stood for tens of thousands of years - however, most demons are not so lucky.
They have to face all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, and have no ability to resist risks. In the end, they can only turn into countless dry bones, or like the Winged Demon Clan in the past, make countless sacrifices in exchange for a glimmer of hope for the cubs of the clan.
The demons in the Demon Realm live together on the basis of clans. A demon without its own clan will never be accepted by other races.
If you are stronger, it would be fine. At least you can come to the Demon King's Palace to apply for a job as a demon soldier. Even a cruel monarch like the previous Demon King is willing to take in powerful demons to fight for him. But if you are weak, or even have cubs with you, you can only live in fear all day long, being driven away by demons and chased by monsters, and always in a state of hunger and running around.
More importantly, the rebellion launched by the Blood Wolf Clan a year ago, whether it was the violent collection of tribute by both sides or the fact that the release of magic fluctuations caused the magical beasts to escape or hide, affected countless small and medium-sized demon tribes, causing famine among the demons. Many demons perished as a result, and the remaining demons became wanderers.
"It just so happens that the Demon King's Palace is short of labor," Warren knocked on the table and looked at the three demons he had called to the hall. "Launching a rescue plan for stray demons can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Tiechui scratched his ears. He had no objection to the plan, but he had some doubts about the implementation plan: "But my king, the construction of the temporary settlement of the wandering demons may not be completed in fifty days."
The construction team of the Demon King's Palace has just finished building the residence of the demon tribe, and is currently rebuilding the residence of the Dark Iron Dwarves.
...
...
The Dark Iron Dwarves, who have a special liking for ore, chose a two-story stone house with brick-red tiles on the top, which is unique and beautiful. Dozens of stone houses are crowded together, leaving only a very narrow aisle in the middle, connected by wooden bridges and platforms, like a large maze building complex.
Tiechui specially selected the middle house in the design drawing and built the third floor. It was decorated with a small pavilion and ceramic sculptures. The spacious windows were installed with magic circles to block wind and sand, reserved for the king to live here temporarily.
The two major projects of the Dark Iron Dwarf Settlement and the reconstruction of the Demon King's Palace are both at hand, so the construction of a temporary settlement for the wandering demons can only be postponed.
"It will take about 20 days to complete the settlement of the Dark Iron Dwarves, but the reconstruction of the Demon King's Palace will take at least 100 days," Tiechui suggested, "Can we give up the current forging room to the wandering demons?"
Warren rubbed his fingertips, thinking for a moment.
"There's no need to rush the reconstruction of the Demon King's Palace," he decided. "Once your settlement is completed, we can build a temporary settlement for the wandering demons first. When the wandering demons join the labor of the Demon King's Palace, the construction efficiency will be increased accordingly."
He decided to build a settlement for the wandering demons first, not because he felt that the environment of the forging room would be unfair to the wandering demons.
For the wandering demons who live in the open air all day and sleep in a hole most of the time, a sturdy and rainproof house like the forge is like a sanctuary.
The problem is that, unlike harmonious races like the Winged Demons and the Nightmare Demons, the relationships among the wandering demons are very complex and changeable. Years of wandering life have almost made the law of the jungle ingrained in their bones, and bullying, fighting, snatching of food, etc. often occur.
Although Warren has begun to improve the regulations on protecting the safety of the Demon King's Palace and regulating the behavior of wandering demons, any wandering demon who wants to live a normal life will most likely not dare to make mistakes. However, squeezing all the wandering demons together and letting them allocate sleeping places by themselves can be regarded as a deliberate intensification of conflicts.
They recruited the wandering demons to do work, not to open an arena. Even if they could not maintain good relations within the wandering demons, there was no need to incite them to be hostile to each other.
Besides, Warren is really in no hurry to rebuild the Demon King's Palace.
He curved his lips slightly, looked at Tiechui mischievously, and joked with him: "When your stone house is built, I will stay there for a few more days. You won't rush to chase me away, right?"
Tiechui, who was about to object, shut up instantly. Thinking that the Demon King would live in his newly built stone house for half a year, he was so excited that his tail trembled: "No problem! You can stay as long as you want! We can also provide a service to wake you up every morning, or do you prefer ringing the bell? The magic crystal clock responsible for telling time is almost forged!"
The Nightmare Demon Sur, who was listening in, looked over with envy and couldn't help but say, "My king, the environment over there in Nightmare Village is very good. Would you like to consider going there to rest for a few days? We also planted blood vine flowers on the roadside. They are very beautiful."
Tiechui glared at her angrily: "Don't rob the king! The king said he would come to the Dark Iron Dwarves!"
Arabella hesitated when she was about to speak.
The military camp is adjacent to the lava lake, so both the temperature and the scenery are very suitable. The single tents of the demon soldiers are also large and spacious, making them more suitable for living than the nightmare village.
But before going to bed, the group of demon soldiers were like a group of unbridled huskies, either rushing to the lava lake to have a mud fight or stacking up on each other to play wrestling. Occasionally, they would sing a few songs with their arms around each other's shoulders. It was so noisy that sometimes she couldn't help but beat them up. This environment was definitely not suitable for rest.
She hesitated for a moment, watching Tiechui and Sur bickering with each other, and still intervened secretly: "Actually, the Winged Demon Clan is also very good. Feiwu invited me to his home last time. The environment over there in the redwood forest is quiet and peaceful, and their hanging towers sway in the wind. It's really interesting."
Tiechui: “Hey!”
Warren laughed and held his forehead, reaching out to stop the three demons from arguing: "Okay, what's there to argue about? The Dark Iron Dwarfs' settlement is great. Let's discuss the issue of rescuing the wandering demons."
Although at first the plan was only intended to lure a few tree demons into the Demon King's Palace, the rescue plan itself was indeed valuable. After Sur used the gossip of "the tree demon chief bullying his people" as a gimmick and quickly spread the matter to the Demon Realm, many wandering demons boldly came to the Demon King's Palace.
As the transactions between the Demon King's Palace and the various demon tribes continue to deepen, the Demon King is no longer synonymous with blood and terror in the Demon Realm. Instead, he is endowed with positive words such as kindness, wisdom, and willingness to help weak demons. Therefore, the wandering demons who heard the news are willing to try their luck instead of fleeing away immediately after hearing the word "Demon King".
However, the four major clans in the Demon Realm have not yet expressed their stance, and they have no intention of interacting with the Demon King's Palace. The liches that appeared in the Demon King's Palace are said to have been captured by the Demon King. Many demons are worried that the next rebellion will break out soon, and in order to avoid being affected, they dare not communicate too closely with the Demon King's Palace.
In any case, as long as these wandering demons can be smoothly accepted, it will not only add labor to the Demon King's Palace, but also further enhance the reputation of the Demon King's Palace in the Demon Realm.
"Sul will be in charge of this matter," Warren ordered. "Iron Cui, except for the few tree demons, let all the wandering demons we have recruited join the construction team to cut and move stones. Arabella, you must be responsible for security. Wandering demons who enter the Demon King's Palace are not allowed to engage in any form of fighting or bullying. Once they make a mistake, they will be expelled from the Demon King's Palace immediately."
"We must pay special attention to the contact between wandering demons and the demons in our Demon King's Palace. Once we find them stealing, threatening, or even bullying the demons in the Demon King's Palace by relying on their strength, we will take coercive measures. Although our Demon King's Palace is working for the happiness of all demons, it is not easy to bully."
The three demons nodded obediently.
In fact, the wandering demons might fight each other, but they would never dare to lose their temper with any demon in the Demon King's Palace. They were even cautious when talking to the goblins. It had only been more than a year since the previous demon king rampaged and killed people. The fear of the demon king was engraved in the bones of these demons, not to mention that there were a group of demon soldiers watching covetously. They came to the Demon King's Palace to make a living, not to seek death. Only crazy people would think that the demons in the Demon King's Palace were easy to bully.
However, these wandering demons who could survive in the dangerous Demon Realm all possessed unique skills. Arabella did not dare to underestimate them. She returned to the military camp and quickly arranged the patrol mission. She asked Fei Wu to lead the team and manage the living order of the wandering demons who entered the Demon King's Palace.
Feiwu, who has first-rate flying and reconnaissance capabilities and is strict in everything he does, is best suited to maintaining order at times like this. Although Alec can calm the situation, he is too straightforward and can be easily deceived.
"It's fine for me to lead the patrol," Feiwu pricked up his ears alertly, and protected his body with his wings, in an absolute defensive posture, "But I will never teach these stray demons a lesson! Never!"
The last time he taught the Nightmare Demon math, almost all the feathers on his wings fell out. Now he finally grew them back. How could he let him become bald again because of the same thing!
Arabella smiled and said, "I heard that the Demon King's Palace pays teachers who teach wandering demons three copper coins per class."
Feiwu: "Where can I sign up? I love teaching the most!"
Three copper coins for one class, if saved up for a while, would be enough to buy a complete set of building blocks for those stupid winged demons of the Winged Demon Clan - Fei Wu had seen them more than once staring at the building blocks in the kindergarten, and discussing with each other about skipping two meals and saving up their wages to buy toys.
The young demon is a fool, he thought angrily, how can he not eat! He is simply playing a joke on his own body!
