◎A strange black mushroom◎
In the month after the Demonic Feast, Warren was very busy.
Hundreds of thousands of demons gathered in the Demon King's Palace. Over time, even the daily household garbage became a big problem, not to mention taking into account living, eating, working and other aspects.
During the previous demon feast, the entire Demon King's Palace spent most of the day preparing, and all work teams were mobilized, and they were able to barely handle things in an orderly manner. Even so, the episode of the Skeleton Warriors happened.
Now, some demons in the Demon King's Palace have been sent to conduct preliminary surveys of various cities, some have been sent to carry out educational work as teachers, and more demons have to return to their jobs. As the number of demons responsible for managing each tribe decreases, many problems will naturally arise, such as tents being blown into the lava lake by strong winds, or the lava square being so crowded with demons that no one can get through.
Fortunately, all the tribes had become familiar with the rules of the Demon King's Palace some time ago. Even if mistakes occurred, they were able to follow the command of the demon soldiers to resolve the disputes quickly, and no major accidents occurred.
When the teaching building was almost completed and the teleportation array was built, Warren began to meet with the chiefs of various tribes to learn about their living conditions in the Demon King's Palace and discuss the future integration and development prospects of the tribes.
Almost all demons were willing to live in the city with other demons. Although they were used to living together in groups, they actually had no prejudice against other demons. Since there was a way to make their lives better, they were naturally happy to do so—especially after seeing the prosperous and beautiful Demon King's Palace.
"But," the Hell Demon Chief was a little timid. Looking at the gentle expression of the Demon King, he still spoke out his true feelings in one go, "Can we choose which city to go to?"
Warren raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. He originally thought that all tribes would choose the city closest to their tribe. "Why?"
...
...
"I don't want to live in the same city with the Blood Wolf Tribe," said the Hell Demon Chief. "They stole our food before. Because they didn't have enough food, many Hell Demons starved to death."
There was not much hatred in his voice. After all, such a law of the jungle was the most normal thing in the former Demon Realm, and the Blood Wolf Clan didn't really kill the demons. But no matter what, he didn't want to live with the Blood Wolf Clan and pretend nothing happened when he saw his enemy.
Warren could understand his feelings very well, and patted his head comfortingly to indicate that he agreed. However, he had no intention of letting the Hell Demons live in a city far away from their homeland. Anyway, this was the sin committed by the Blood Wolf Clan, so he just needed to drive the Blood Wolf Clan away.
Taking into account the possible grudges among the demon tribes, he would ask one more question whenever he met the patriarchs of each tribe.
Fortunately, since the tribes are quite far apart, a delicate balance has been maintained for tens of thousands of years, and there are basically no conflicts between the tribes. Only the Blood Wolf Tribe ranks first on the hatred list, and the Skeleton Warrior Tribe ranks second.
Compared to the Lich Clan who have always lived in seclusion and do not communicate with other demon clans, and the Stone Demon Clan who are gentle and friendly to all small and medium demon clans, the Blood Wolf Clan and the Skeleton Warrior Clan, which are also the four major clans, have a terrible reputation among the various clans in the Demon Realm.
"During the rebellion, the Blood Wolf Clan robbed the food of the small and medium demons. In addition, the previous Demon King robbed the remaining food, killing too many demons," Warren recorded the recent information he had obtained in the memo, sighing helplessly, "No wonder the Blood Wolf Clan has not dared to leave the clan too far after the rebellion. They only have 200 blood wolves left. If other small and medium demons knew about it, they would probably eat them alive."
The Skeleton Warrior Clan has been arrogant since it became one of the four major clans. They forced the Bone Demon Clan to change the name of their clan and forced many demons to become their slaves.
The degree of hatred among the small and medium-sized demons is slightly lower than that of the Blood Wolf Tribe. Apart from the fact that the Blood Wolf Tribe was the one that initiated the tribute, it was mainly because the Skeleton Warrior Tribe was punished to do compulsory labor as soon as they entered the Demon King's Palace, and they have been tormented badly by the Dragon recently. The demons felt very relieved when seeing this.
"Because of this, Xiaolong has been very popular recently." Thinking of this, Warren couldn't help laughing. He tapped the Demon King's Crown and chatted happily with the system. "Did you know that a few demons actually made a magic wreath for Xiaolong to thank him for defeating the hateful Skeleton Warrior Clan!"
The system ignored him.
Warren paused as he wrote, and belatedly realized that the system had not communicated with him for more than a month.
"System?" He knocked on the Demon King's Crown again. "Did you upgrade it again?"
[……snort. ]
The system is weird.
[The host didn't call me, so I certainly have no right to disturb the host.]
After a slight pause, he remembered that he had not actively poked the system since he drew the card [Old Math Textbook] last time because he was too busy. Warren scratched his ear embarrassedly, gently touched the gold crown of the Demon King's Crown, and took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, I promise I won't forget to chat with you next time."
He did feel sorry. Although the system was usually quiet, it was always doing its best and sometimes would remind himself. Moreover, the system usually lived in the Demon King's Crown, and only he could communicate with it. Even if he never mentioned it, Warren could feel his loneliness.
[Who wants to chat with you! ]
The system was angry, even the mechanical sound was gone, and the tone was very aggressive.
[I'm just waiting for you to draw a card!]
As if afraid that Warren would expose his hypocrisy, the system did not wait for him to continue speaking and directly popped up the card drawing interface.
Above the Demon King's crown, a thick book was opened, shining brightly.
[Confirm to draw the card?]
Warren, who was already in the wrong, decided not to provoke the system, so he said nothing more and simply clicked to confirm the card draw.
[Number of magic crystals detected: 10]
[Magic crystals have been deducted]
A card shining with golden light flew out from the card pile, gradually turning from an illusion into a solid entity, and landed on the table in front of Warren.
"Wow," Warren picked up the card in surprise, "If I had known it would be an SSR, I would have never forgotten it for so long!"
[A strange black mushroom
Quality SSR
Type prop card
Usage: Activate this card to obtain a strange mushroom.
Comment: This is one of the former Demon Lord's most valuable treasures. I hope you can find a real use for it.]
Warren activated the card, and suddenly a metal flowerpot appeared in his hand. The flowerpot was filled with soil. He observed carefully for a long time before he could barely see a small mushroom no bigger than a fingernail in the middle of the soil.
"Is this one of the most valuable collections of the previous Demon King?" he murmured in amazement. He looked left and right, but couldn't see anything special about it. Thinking that maybe it was because he didn't know magic, he carefully placed the flower pot on the table, ready to wait for Feiwu or Sur to come and let them see it.
"I hope it's not something that needs blood or soul to activate," he said with a lingering fear when thinking of the formation under the Demon King's Palace, "If that's the case, we can only destroy it."
Perhaps it was satisfied after drawing the cards, or perhaps it finally remembered its decision to ignore Warren's ambition, the system actively closed the card drawing interface and retracted into the depths of the Demon King's Crown.
Warren, who originally wanted to choose another system task, had to give up.
However, he was really busy recently and didn't have much time to complete the task. He could wait until the other cities were built before continuing the task. Therefore, Warren was not in a hurry. He stood up and left the hall, ready to check the construction status of the teaching building.
Before leaving the Demon King's Palace, a team of demon soldiers came hurriedly, led by the Winged Demon Feiwu.
Fei Wu had originally planned to leave the army and start a research team after the Demon Feast, but he was very interested in the city construction survey team, so he signed up decisively and planned to start the research team after the survey was completed.
"My lord!" Seeing Warren from afar, he rushed over excitedly, "My lord, the members of the city survey team are back!"
The members of the city survey team were composed of the Demon King's Palace army, farming team, construction team and various demon tribes. A total of three survey teams were sent, with a total of more than 500 demons. Except for the three team leaders, the Winged Demon Feiwu, the Black Iron Dwarf Yinding and the Demon Soldier Alex, they were all waiting at the gate of the Demon King's Palace.
"Did your three teams come back together?" Warren raised his eyebrows. "Feiwu, the place your team is responsible for exploring is the Great White Fish Desert. Even if you need to take care of the slower-moving demons, it will only take five days at most. How come it took more than a month?"
Feiwu scratched his head. "We found a place next to a lava lake with many thorny flowers unique to the desert. We all agreed that it was the most suitable place to build a city..."
Warren rubbed his fingertips and easily guessed what he was going to say next.
"...But that place happened to be the nest of the Seabuckthorn Beast, so we spent some time to kill all the monsters there."
He shook his head helplessly. He knew that if Feiwu went out, he would have to destroy something before he could come back. Warren, who had already given him the freedom to act, did not condemn his idea. He patted his head and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Being praised by the Demon King, Feiwu immediately lifted his tail and even waved his wings slightly: "We have brought back the meat of the Seabuckthorn Beast with preservation magic, and there are also dozens of Seabuckthorn Beast eggs! This kind of monster is very efficient in turning the soil for farmland, and it will definitely be useful after it grows up!"
He talked and danced for a long time, vividly describing the whole process of how he broke into the monster's lair.
"Wait a minute," Warren paused and looked at Feiwu, "You broke into the monster's nest by yourself? Without any other monsters to help you, and without knowing how many monsters were in the nest?"
Feiwu's voice was stuck, and he realized that he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag. He felt so guilty that his ears turned into airplane ears: "I was chasing that sea buckthorn beast and just happened to go in--"
"Do you know how dangerous this is?" Warren pinched the tip of his wing mercilessly. "Five hundred words of self-reflection, no room for negotiation."
Feiwu whimpered sadly.
The last time I wrote a self-criticism, it was only 300 words!
