◎Whitefish City, Bone Thorn City, and Burning Sun City◎
After the three teams that explored the city construction site returned to the Demon King's Palace, they each came up with their own construction plans.
Although the Demon Realm is vast, many places are too dangerous and rarely visited by demons. There are not many places that have flat terrain, are suitable for construction and farming, and are not prone to large-scale volcanic eruptions or moisture.
Besides, there are only about 100,000 demons in the entire Demon Realm. Building too many cities would be detrimental to development. The use of teleportation arrays also consumes magic power. Therefore, we only plan to build three cities this time, and expand if the number of demons increases in the future.
After exploration and discussion, these three cities were built in the Great White Fish Desert, the Bone Spur Mountains and the Lie Ri Plateau respectively, and were therefore named White Fish City, Bone Spur City and Lie Ri City.
——Warren, who was in charge of naming the city, said that he really had no talent for naming. In order to avoid strange names like Little Black City, it would be more reasonable to directly use the place name as the city name.
He held a meeting with all the demons in the Demon King's Palace to discuss the construction plans for the three cities. After confirming that there were no problems, Warren summoned all the demons to the square. He explained in detail the construction locations and development plans of the three cities, and organized the demons to sign up voluntarily to choose the city they wanted to join.
Originally, most demons tended to choose cities closer to their homeland. After all, they were more familiar with the terrain and climate there. However, when the Demon King's Palace clearly listed the construction and development plans of each city, many tribes hesitated.
The Imps were also one of the races that changed their minds.
On the day of the full demon clan meeting, the little demon chief and his clan members sat on rattan mats in the wooden house, discussing the matter one by one.
...
...
As a subordinate race of the Skeleton Warriors, their clan territory is also located in the Bone Thorn Mountains. Logically, Bone Thorn City should be their first choice, but after listening to the city development plan, many little demons raised objections.
"I think Whitefish City is better," said one of the little demons. "When I was a temporary worker in the farming team, Captain Barlow said that the environment of the Great Whitefish Desert is particularly suitable for growing sweet fruit."
"Yes, we are not strong in combat, but evil magic can promote the growth of crops. Even the farming team will give priority to hiring us when recruiting temporary workers," another little devil said. "The king said in the planning of Bone Thorn City that there are more monsters in the Bone Thorn Mountains, which is more suitable for hunting. And currently only mushrooms have been found to grow there. We couldn't find a job in the past!"
Their expressions were extremely relaxed, and their movements were not as huddled together and trembling with fear as when they first arrived at the Demon King's Palace. Instead, they were leisurely and comfortable, sitting cross-legged, lying on rattan mats, or leaning on the shoulders of the tribesmen next to them and chewing on jerky.
Discussing the vital future of the ethnic group, their biggest worry is that they will not be able to find suitable jobs.
The monsters, hunger and the shadow of death that once accompanied them day and night now only appear in nightmares late at night. Even the most pessimistic little devil firmly believes that the greatest king of the demon realm will never abandon them.
"Then we'll go to Whitefish City. I'll sign up tomorrow morning!" The little devil leader finally made the final decision, clapped his hands, and motioned for all the little devils to look at him. "Okay, everyone, stop chatting. Let's analyze the math problem that Mr. Rabbit taught tonight!"
Regardless of whether they understood the math problem or not, the little devils all concentrated their attention and started discussing with each other by pulling their fingers.
After the Demon Feast, teaching work continued as normal, and teachers from the Demon King's Palace gave lectures in the after-dinner class.
All demons knew that the basic requirement for having a formal job in the Demon King's Palace was to pass the mathematics and magic exams. Of course, no one dared to slack off and began to study seriously.
"Math is really hard," a little devil started to pick his toes after picking his fingers, muttering as he counted, "I hope the next math test will be easier."
…
"Let's make the questions in the next math test simpler."
Warren sat at the head of the conference room, drank a sip of lava slime bubble tea, and talked about the next work plan.
"After the construction of Whitefish City, Bone Thorn City, and Burning Sun City is completed, a large number of jobs will appear, and everyone will be busy with construction, leaving little time for study. I'm afraid that there will be very few demons who can pass the math and magic basics exams. So why not separate this full recruitment exam from the usual exams?"
Industrial Captain Tiechui nodded and said, "Perhaps we can change the name of this exam and require the demons who join the city's work team to pass the real math and magic basic exams within three years."
"I know!" Alec raised his hand actively, "This is a basic test on math and rune basics, which means it's more basic than the basics!"
Warren rubbed Alec's head with a smile and said, "Let's call it the math and magic entrance exam. For math, you only need to learn how to count, add and subtract within 100, and calculate time. For magic, you only need to be able to understand the basic magic on the account board."
Lille, who was in charge of recording, quickly wrote the plan on the slate.
In addition to the exam issues, they also had to send a large number of demons from the Demon King's Palace to various cities to lead the construction tasks.
Arabella, the captain of the magic soldiers, was the first to respond: "I have selected six teams of magic soldiers and sent them to three cities to investigate nearby monster nests. The temporary army is also being recruited, and a wave of emergency training will be carried out when the time comes to maintain the safety of the city."
These three cities do not have their own kings and are located in areas where monsters are densely distributed. Arabella is extremely cautious about security issues.
"We only need to select three captains from each trading team to manage the affairs of each city," said Nightmare Demon Sur. "There is no need to establish a position like mayor. Anyway, there is a teleportation array connecting the three cities to the Demon King's Palace, and it only takes a few minutes to go back and forth."
The farming team leader Barro nodded in agreement: "Our farming team is also very simple. The types of crops that can be grown in different cities are originally different. I have organized everyone to conduct research. When the time comes, each crop research team will directly go to the corresponding city to carry out planting work."
Tiechui scratched his head. "Except for the construction team, all industrial teams are operating in the Demon King's Palace. There is no need to move to other cities. Other development work will be submitted to the King for approval after the plan is finalized. The construction team is now led by the demons who participated in the last city survey, and will absorb various demons as temporary workers to help."
Lille is the busiest member of the logistics team. Whether it is the chef team, coin minting team, accounting team or cleaning team, they all need a lot of labor. They have recruited a lot of demons in recent times, but they are still very tired.
However, as the only familiar who completed his duties as the steward of the former Demon King's familiar alive, Lier's work ability is unquestionable. Even though he needed to be responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of thousands of demons, he still carried the enormous pressure and completed his work very well. He even had time to conduct an internal selection and arranged the logistics team members who needed to be assigned to various cities.
He cleared his throat and brought up another topic: "My king, since the names and construction plans of the three cities have been discussed, shouldn't we also change the name of the Demon King's Palace?"
Warren rubbed his fingertips thoughtfully.
Perhaps it was because he was too involved in the matter, and he had never thought about this issue until Lille brought it up.
In the past, the Demon King's Palace only had a lonely stone palace, so it was more appropriate to call it the Demon King's Palace directly. Later, it was expanded to include a roast chicken farm, potato fields, redwood forests, military camps, and nightmare villages. Until now, there are numerous buildings and a wide square that stretches as far as the eye can see, but the name has never been changed, which seems a bit discordant.
"What do you think?" Warren asked.
Lier straightened his back and said, "Since there are already three cities, let's name this place after the city, and call it the Royal City!"
Before he finished speaking, Alex shook his head like a rattle: "This name is too short, and it doesn't reflect the king's heroic spirit. If it were you, I should call this place the King's Wise City!"
Feiwu was the first to applaud: "This is fine! Or maybe a little longer. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and this city is the best in the world!"
The eyes of the demons all lit up, and they all thought that the name Feiwu sounded better.
Before these clowns could come up with more outrageous ideas, Warren decisively interrupted them and slammed the mushroom flower pot he carried with him on the table: "Let's call it Royal City."
The demons sighed in disappointment.
"Or is it simply the Royal City?" Fei Wu looked at his own king eagerly, "Write the longer name on the sign hanging at the city gate?"
Warren looked away coldly and rejected her relentlessly: "No."
The winged demon drooped its wings dejectedly.
"That's right! Royal City already sounds great!" In order to get a cup of Lava Slime Bubble Tea, the Dark Night Dragon, who had insisted on attending the meeting with the Demon King, had been confused by the various topics of the meeting. Now he finally found a discussion that he could understand, "My King, your naming skills are superb!"
Warren: “…”
He rubbed the dragon horn hard and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, everyone get busy. Once the demon tribes have completed the registration of their intended cities today, we can officially start the construction of each city."
With the space teleportation array, the various races do not need to travel long distances, and they don't even need to change their place of residence. After breakfast every morning, they gather with their respective city construction teams, teleport to the location of the city to start work, and then return to the Demon King's Palace via the teleportation array near dusk for dinner.
All the demons in the demon tribe worked hard for the construction of the city. Warren was originally worried that the food supply would be insufficient, but in less than ten days, more than thirty demon beast nests were destroyed in three cities. The granary of the Demon King's Palace was full, and the cafeteria made fried meat for half a month.
Meanwhile, construction of the Cub School was finally completed.
