◎Ancient Cold Weapon Atlas◎
In the basement at the center of the Dark Iron Dwarf stone house, there are pottery jars filled with magma on the four corners to maintain the hot temperature here. Vines and magic cotton are made into exquisite nests to provide the most comfortable hatching conditions for the baby eggs.
Pushing the door open and walking inside, Warren walked to the nest in the middle, took the light blue egg out of the nest, and gently touched the eggshell.
The egg cub swayed happily.
"What a lively cub," Warren couldn't help but chuckle, "Hurry up and break out of the shell. I'll give you a clockwork puppy."
After studying with the Dark Iron Dwarves for several days, he finally understood the working principles of the gears inside the clockwork. By combining stabilization magic and protection magic, he not only created various clockwork toys, but also improved the magic crystal clock to further reduce the magic energy loss of the clock.
Warren plans to find a time to hold a special class to explain the principles of clockwork to the demons in the Demon King's Palace, so that everyone can brainstorm and see if this technology can be combined with magic and applied to more fields.
But there is no need to rush. It won’t be too late to talk about it after the clockwork toys have been sold in the Demon King’s Palace for a while and most demons have played with them.
"My lord?" Tiechui poked his head out of the hatchery. He blinked, afraid of scaring the eggs, and asked in a low voice, "Are you looking for me?"
Warren put the egg back into the nest, felt the egg's reluctant shaking, patted its eggshell soothingly, and stood up and walked out of the incubator.
...
...
"Yes, there are some things," he said, moving his fingers slightly, and a bow and arrow appeared in the air. "Take a look, can this weapon be forged?"
After receiving the ten magic crystals reward that triggered the mission, he drew a card.

Card description: Thousands of arrows and thousands of swords killed in one night, blood flowed in the morning and soaked the empty city]
After drawing this card, Warren studied these eighteen cold weapons all night and compared them with the weapons in the armory of the Demon King's Palace. He was shocked to realize that what he originally thought was full of martial virtues in the Demon Realm was just brute force. He had never seen long-range weapons like bows and arrows, which were crucial for both hunting and war, in the Demon Realm.
Having created countless weapons for the previous Demon King, Tiechui was quite knowledgeable about this. The moment he saw the diagram of the bow and arrow and understood how to use it, he realized the value of this weapon.
"This bow and arrow can be made entirely of mithril! An acceleration array can be installed at the tail of the arrow, and it can also be attached with explosion magic or fire magic!"
Tiechui was humming non-stop, inspiration flowing into his heart, and his tail wagging happily. If the king was not still here, he would have rushed into the forging room and started researching the next second.
"A long-range weapon like this is invincible when used with magic! And it's most suitable for flying demons!"
Warren nodded with relief.
He only has a vague understanding of weapon manufacturing and knows nothing about magic. Such professional work should be left to Tiechui.
"Then I'll leave it to you," he said in a relaxed tone, "If everything goes well, the Demon King's Palace will soon have an invincible archery team."
Tiechui hummed vigorously and jumped on tiptoe. After the king signaled that he could leave, he rushed to the forging room impatiently.
Looking at his happy back, Warren laughed softly, turned and walked out.
It was still early, and the patrolling demon soldiers lined up in a line, looking around alertly. Not far away, members of the construction team were moving stones and laying the foundation for the new Demon King's Palace. Several familiars were hurriedly carrying wooden barrels, and the one at the back would stop from time to time to pick up the black beans that had fallen on the ground.
When they saw the devil, they half-knelt down in unison and saluted happily.
Warren smiled and nodded, without stopping, he walked straight through the industrial area to the potato field. Seeing the members of the potato planting team were sowing seeds seriously, he did not disturb them, but continued to walk outside, and finally found the little lich Tok in a small thatched hut next to the farmland.
Tok, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, was squatting in the hut, writing magic words on the stone slab with his head down very seriously. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door opening. He became alert to danger and jumped up. Suddenly, he saw Warren's smile and his eyes lit up immediately.
"Your Majesty!" he said, trying not to let his expression get too excited, "Are you here to see me?"
Although he was still a cub in theory, Tok would be an adult in less than half a year, which made him half a big demon. When he suggested that he did not want to go to kindergarten but wanted to go to work, Warren did not object.
He arranged a separate dormitory for Tok, which was right next to the gathering place of the demon clan. It was a suspended tree house with spacious wooden windows on all four sides. Such an open environment gave Tok, who had been locked in a cave for several years, a rare sense of security.
When Tok was choosing a job, Warren originally thought that he would sign up to join the textile team. After all, he had shown interest in magic cotton a long time ago. But Tok thought for a while, and actually recommended himself to Barlow, showing several magics related to planting, and successfully joined the potato planting team.
Warren considerately didn't ask Tok why he did this, but considering that none of the dozen or so liches in the Demon King's Palace were in the potato planting team, he could probably guess what Tok was thinking.
"Of course I came to see you," Warren touched his head and said gently, "How are you doing in the potato planting team?"
Tok nodded obediently.
In front of his king, Tok restrained all his minions and looked like an ordinary and cute demon boy. "It's fine. Captain Barlow takes good care of me. I'm studying the magical self-circulation system of the underground magma river. In this way, the goblins don't have to risk drilling into the magma river to replenish the magma."
He had almost finished tinkering with this magic self-circulation system. After making one or two minor changes to the magic words, it should be ready for use. Tok handed the slate he was writing on to the Demon King, looking at him with sparkling eyes and tilting his ears, waiting for praise.
"Very impressive," Warren rubbed his head. Although he couldn't understand the slate, he still read it carefully. "You are worthy of it."
Tok lifted his tail and shook his legs slightly.
Putting down the slate, Warren thought for a moment and decided to get straight to the point. He looked at Tok seriously and said, "Little Tok, I came here mainly for the Lich Tribe's affairs."
Knowing well Tok's rejection of the Lich Tribe, he seldom mentioned the Lich Tribe in front of Tok. However, some things cannot be solved by avoiding them, especially when Tok's brother Tono is still in the Lich Tribe.
Tok hummed.
He is no longer the pitiful little boy who was always suspicious. Although he still refuses to contact other demons except the king, it does not mean that he dares not to contact them. Speaking of the lich tribe, although he feels disgusted, he still speaks calmly: "King, do you want to attack the lich tribe? I am willing to be your vanguard and guarantee to capture all the liches to work."
Warren laughed: "You don't have to be so cruel. I actually want to ask about Tono."
He did not plan to attack the lich tribe immediately, not because he did not want to, but because his strength did not allow it. Although the Demon King's Palace had a large number of demon soldiers, they did not have an effective way to curb the lich curse. Once a large number of people were infected with the curse, the consequences would be disastrous.
But if it's just about getting Tono back, there's a way.
He had drawn the card of [Teleportation Gloves], and he only needed to give the gloves to any lich in the Demon King's Palace. They were familiar with the environment of the lich tribe, so they didn't need to attack at all. They could just find Tono, drag him and teleport him immediately to complete the task.
"For some reasons, it is not the right time to go to war with the four major clans, so I thought I should ask for your opinion," Warren said gently, "Do you need us to bring your brother back first?"
Toke blinked his eyes to hide the negative emotions that surged up in him.
"Tono and I are different," he said, his voice becoming a little dull, "Tono was raised by the lich, while I am a tool for Fico to vent his anger."
As the cub chosen by the cursed magic book, under the sweet talk of Fico, he has never left the tribe leader cave since he hatched. But Tono is different. With Toko attracting Fico's hatred, he was able to grow up happily in the tribe. All the liches doted on him because he was the cub of the Pikachu tribe leader. Fico also tolerated Tono more in order to maintain his kind face.
This was also the reason why Tono was able to accidentally enter the cave and see the tortured Tok at the age of three - Feko had no defenses against him, and didn't even have much hostility - and when Tok begged Tono to help him ask the liches for help, Tono did it in a daze, but after the liches told him that it was just a treatment for congenital deficiencies, Tono did not insist, and even under Feko's means, he never entered the Patriarch's Cave again.
Even the liches who came to the Demon King's Palace did not worry about Tono's safety after knowing Feco's true identity. After all, there were too many liches around Tono who were willing to protect him with their lives.
So when Fico threatened Toke with Tono, Toke did as he was told but found it funny in his heart: Why did Fico feel that he cared so much about the life of a younger brother whom he had only met a few times, who was clearly hatched from the same egg but had all the good luck?
Tok looked at the Demon King.
He didn't want the king to know that he had such a dark side, but there was a corner of his heart that kept shouting that if Tono came to the Demon King's Palace, he would take away everything from him and turn himself into the little lich that shone brightly wherever he went. He would return to the dark corner, with no one caring or believing in him, and he would become the silently rotting shadow again.
But Tok was unwilling to lie to the king.
Finally, he turned his head awkwardly and bit his lips until they turned white: "I have nothing to do with Tono, it's up to you to decide."
Warren gently touched his head, as if to comfort the overly excited Egg Boy.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and did not mention that he heard Tok mumbling in his sleep calling for his brother when he accidentally passed by Tok's room a few days ago, nor did he mention the complicated emotions he felt from Tok when he used the [Psychic Illusion] card. He just sighed softly.
"Don't think too badly of yourself," he said, looking at the little lich who was pursing his lips stubbornly beside him, "You have always been a good child."
The author has something to say:
-
Tok, left the tribe for his brother, but refused to admit that he did it for his brother (Warren: What a weird kid!)

The next update may be a little later, but definitely before 12 o'clock. I can't finish it. QAQ
