◎The Lich Clan will never compromise!◎
Considering that Tono is a young boy who has not passed the math and magic exams and currently has no formal job, Warren thinks it would be a good idea to let him form an opera troupe. It would not only allow him to get out of the shadow of the lich clan, but also allow him to make more friends and maybe even find a career he truly loves.
Besides, the demons have very few entertainment options. Apart from listening to stories and learning, they just get together to play on the swings and build blocks, or rush into the lava lake to have mud fights. It would also be nice to add the activity of watching a show.
Thinking of this, Warren did not nod his head in agreement directly. Instead, he pondered for a moment. Seeing that Tono was so nervous that he was fidgeting, he smiled and tapped the table with his fingers: "This is a good idea, but you have to come up with a complete charter first, so that I can determine the feasibility of forming the Demon King's Palace Art Troupe."
Tono was stunned for a moment, not understanding: "Perfect regulations?"
"For example, what kind of script to write, how to perform, the organization and training plan of the art troupe," Warren explained patiently. "Once we confirm that this charter is feasible and beneficial to the Demon King's Palace, we can continue to discuss your responsibilities and assessment methods as the head of the art troupe, the recruitment of members of the art troupe, and the amount of funding required from the Demon King's Palace in the early stages."
He explained in detail, and seeing Tono's confused look, he gave examples of each link. His voice became a little hoarse, and he picked up the lava slime bubble tea on the table and took a sip.
After struggling to sort out these complicated processes and planning requirements, Tono was not disappointed but became even more excited. His eyes were wide open and he tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, but his tail wagged unconsciously.
He has lived in an environment where he has been unconditionally spoiled by all his tribesmen since he was a child. However, because of his experience in the eggshell and his ability to read people's expressions, he feels extremely insecure about this situation. He cannot help but suspect that these demons have some intentions or even evil thoughts.
This is also the reason why Tono always tries to quarrel with his brother and sometimes even makes trouble for no reason - he can get comfort and peace from Toke's impolite attitude and tit-for-tat situation.
...
...
If the Demon King decisively agreed to his request, Tono would be happy but would also be afraid of the Demon King's seemingly tolerant and generous attitude. On the contrary, by doing things in a businesslike manner and clearly pointing out that his plan could only be implemented if it was reasonable and could bring benefits to the Demon King's Palace, Tono would have a clear direction to work towards and would not be suspicious that the Demon King would throw him into the forge as a magic raw material in a few days.
He clenched his fists with full fighting spirit, saluted and thanked the Demon King. This time he did not act cute, but just tilted his head and smiled slyly at the Demon King. Amid Warren's chuckle, he turned into gray mist and left the Demon King's palace.
In the hall, Warren rubbed his forehead sleepily, looked at the sky, and prepared to go to bed.
He originally planned to use up his other chance to draw a card, and also draw from the [Movie World] card pool - there is currently a powerful dragon guarding the Demon King's Palace, and the rebellion problem he was worried about was solved. He didn't need to gamble on the chance to draw an ability card. Moreover, the movie could bring him a lot of inspiration and show the customs and habits of the other world.
"Knowing about the other world can deepen my understanding and application of cards," he thought, recording the current known information in the memo, "So the other world has water like lakes, a white moon, humans without tails living in high-rise buildings, and talking beasts living in the grasslands. The king of the beasts is a lion. Hmm, I wonder what the relationship between the beasts and humans is like? The difference in their living places is so big, I guess the relationship is not very harmonious."
[……]
The system hesitated to speak.
Seeing the system pop-up window flashing non-stop, Warren raised his eyebrows in confusion: "System? What's going on?"
The system was silent for a moment, as if it was organizing its words, but eventually gave up the idea of refutation, withdrew the system pop-up window, and pretended that it had not heard Warren's question.
Warren was used to the system shutting down from time to time, so he shrugged and didn't care. He was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. He really didn't have the energy to draw cards, so he decided to wait until tomorrow, closed the memo, and soon fell asleep.
The stars in the night sky were obscured by layers of dark clouds, and the blood moon hung alone.
The moonlight sprinkled on the ground, spending the long night with countless sleepless demons.
In the corner of the low wall of the Demon King's Palace, the winged demon Feiwu looked up at the sky in silence. In the lich's cabin, Tono was biting on jerky and scratching his head, thinking about the script adaptation. In the winged demon tree house in the redwood forest, the dragon that cast a spell to shrink itself to the size of a palm was lying between the goblin Xili and the winged demon York, chattering about the plot of the movie.
And further away from the Demon King's palace, there was a group of demons tossing and turning, worried and unable to sleep all night.
"Chief, it's time for us to make a decision."
Looking at the patriarch who was standing on a boulder and gazing at the blood moon, the young demon with wolf ears and tail whispered.
"The Stone Giants have already started preparing offerings to the Demon King, and the Skeleton Warriors were originally hesitant. Now..."
He lowered his head in pain, his voice choked with sobs.
Because the new Demon King had taken advantage of the Blood Wolf Chieftain's serious injury to launch a surprise attack, the four major tribes in the Demon Realm did not think highly of him at first. The reason they returned to their tribe instead of attacking immediately was not only because they were not sure whether they would fail to activate the Demon King's Crown if they launched an attack immediately after the rebellion, but also because they were wary of each other's strength. After all, the strongest Blood Wolf Chieftain had been killed, and the chiefs of the other three demon tribes did not have the overwhelming strength to make the demons surrender.
Later, when they heard that the demon soldiers in the Demon King's palace had defected and taken in goblins, and that the Demon King not only refused to accept tribute from the small and medium-sized demons but also sent them food, the four major tribes became even more disdainful.
In their opinion, the new Demon King was so shameless in trying to please the small and medium-sized demons, which showed that he was weak and cowardly, and he didn't even dare to offend the small and medium-sized demons.
But gradually, they realized that something was wrong.
The reputation of the new Demon King gradually spread throughout the Demon Realm, and he was even more respected by the demons than the previous Demon King, who was recognized as the most powerful. The Demon King's Palace, which did not require tribute, not only did not starve to death, but became increasingly prosperous. They even started a rescue plan for stray demons. They secretly sent demon servants to investigate, and most of them never returned, and only a few demon servants who had signed strict soul contracts would come back to report. They all praised the Demon King's Palace to the sky, with an expression that could not be concealed with yearning.
Just as they were getting anxious, news came from the Demon King's Palace that all demons would have to attend the Demon Banquet in a year. If they chose not to go, the Demon King would lead his troops to raze their lands, kill all their people, and let their souls suffer in fire for eternity.
If Warren knew this version of the rumor, he would definitely complain that it was an absolute slander. He did say that the demons who did not participate in the demon feast would be regarded as rebels by him, but he was not prepared to be so cruel to the rebels!
Obviously, due to some unspeakable tricks, the demon servants who delivered the news to the four tribes made some artistic processing on the news they received.
But no matter what, the four tribes believed the threat. After all, the previous Demon King treated the rebels in the same way, or even more brutally. He would torture the demons half to death before killing them.
In the last rebellion, although the four tribes joined forces to kill the previous Demon King, they also suffered heavy losses and their strength was weakened. The benefits they thought they could get were snatched away by the new Demon King who suddenly appeared. Coupled with the new Demon King's reputation since he ascended the throne, they couldn't help but feel scared in their hearts.
So the four tribes held an emergency secret meeting, and the patriarchs of the four tribes met to discuss their future direction.
The Lich Clan was the one that reacted most violently.
"We will never compromise with the new Demon King!" The Lich Chieftain Feko shouted at the top of his lungs. Although for some reason it looked exaggerated as if he was acting, the firmness of his tone was unquestionable. "The new Demon King killed the cub of our former Lich Chieftain. The Lich Clan will not surrender to the new Demon King even if it means extermination of the entire clan!"
The Skeleton Warriors immediately expressed their views: "The new Demon King has been on the throne for so long, and he has created a lot of messes, all of which are to please the weaker demons, causing the small demons in the Demon Realm to flatter him. He pretends to be so hypocritical, which just shows that the new Demon King is too weak and dares not prove himself through fighting! He is just strong on the outside but weak on the inside!"
The newly appointed Blood Wolf Chief breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the other three tribes, the Blood Wolf Tribe was the only one that had to fight the new Demon King to the death. Fortunately, the Lich Tribe had a deadly feud with the new Demon King because of their cubs, the Skeleton Warrior Tribe had always been aggressive and reckless, and the Stone Demon Tribe, although they were always easy-going and gentle due to their ridiculously strong defense, were also arrogant. If the Demon King threatened the lives of their entire tribe, they would most likely join them.
"Then we won't go. Let's gather our strength and wait until the demon feast is over before launching a rebellion!" At the end of the meeting, the Blood Wolf Chieftain made the decision in an excited voice, "Let that guy who doesn't even dare to fight an upright duel and can only use dirty tricks know that not everyone can become a demon king!"
The four tribes leaders swore an oath of blood covenant, and the Blood Wolf leader even invited the tribesmen from the other three tribes who came to the meeting to have a free lunch. When they bid farewell with tears, they all expressed their firm determination to fight against the Demon King.
Less than half a month after the meeting, news that the Lich Clan had left their homeland and joined the Demon King's Palace spread like wildfire.
The other three tribes were confused.
Before they even figured out how the Demon King's Palace had instigated the Lich Tribe to rebel, they received news that hundreds of demon soldiers were coming to escort the Lich Tribe to the Demon King's Palace. They secretly hid on the road that the Lich Tribe had to take to get to the Demon King's Palace, wanting to question the Lich Chief. However, when they saw the well-equipped and powerful demon soldiers, they hesitated and dared not get close.
The Blood Wolf Chieftain gnashed his teeth and yelled at the Lich for being despicable. After calming down for a while, he composed himself and prepared to hold another meeting to win over the Skeleton Warriors and the Stone Demons.
"The Liches are spineless, but our three tribes are not," he said harshly, "Do we really want to submit to a demon king whose only achievement is to seriously injure the demons by a surprise attack? Then we will become the laughing stock of the Demon Realm for thousands of years!"
Both the Skeleton Warriors and the Stone Demons were somewhat shaken.
After all, the sudden surrender of the Lich Clan was too strange, and they could not help but fear that the new Demon King had mastered some remote brainwashing or puppet control magic. However, the Skeleton Warrior Clan was very disgusted with this behavior, and felt that the Demon King who only knew how to play tricks was not worthy of their kneeling. The Stone Demon Clan was also worried that they would stand on the wrong side, so they did not respond for a while.
Just as they were struggling with this, their demon servant who had been gathering information came back to report that the Liches did not submit to the Demon Palace as a tribe, but were dispersed and mixed with the wandering demons. This scared both tribes so much that no one wanted to be thrown into the camp of the wandering demons, and they almost immediately agreed to the Blood Wolf Chief's proposal to hold another meeting to discuss how to attack the Demon King.
On the day of the meeting, another news came - some demons saw the Dark Night Dragon that was chased away by the previous Demon King eight hundred years ago flying towards the Demon King's Palace!
The Blood Wolf tribe leader was overjoyed, his eyes filled with tears, and he shouted to the sky, "Demon God bless you", excitedly waiting for the news that the Dark Night Dragon had killed or beaten the new Demon King. The tribe leaders of the Skeleton Warrior Tribe and the Giant Stone Demon Tribe also stayed in the tribe of the Blood Wolf Tribe, waiting for the demon servants to report the movements of the new Demon King.
After waiting for several days with anticipation, the news that "the Demon King came out to defeat the Demon Dragon and forced the Demon Dragon to do hard labor in the Demon King's Palace" spread throughout the Demon Realm.
The Skeleton Warrior Tribe and the Stone Demon Tribe left the Blood Wolf Tribe overnight. This time no one dared to hesitate. After returning to the tribe and crying bitterly, they obediently prepared the gifts they needed to bring to participate in the demon clan ceremony.
So the next day, Warren woke up, rubbed his eyes and said good morning to the system. His eyes accidentally fell on his character card, and he was surprised to find that the original DEBUFF of [Rebellion X3, Blood Curse X1] had now become [Rebellion X1, Blood Curse X1].
It was easy to guess what was going on. Warren slapped the table happily and said, "Where's Xiaolong? I'll urge him to study hard!"
As the hero who defeated the two ethnic groups without any bloodshed, Xiaolong deserves the most considerate and comprehensive teaching services!
The author has something to say:
-
Xiaolong: You are a devil! !
-
Why the card doesn't show the rebellion debuff of the Lich clan: Feko, the former chief of the Lich clan, never intended to rebel. He just planned to fool both sides and act according to the situation. He showed anger towards the new Demon King in order to confuse the Liches.
