◎The previous demon king was the chief of the goblin tribe?◎
After the demon feast, the construction of the three cities was in full swing.
Constructing a city from scratch is much more difficult than simply building a few houses. Not only do you have to level the uneven ground, drive away nearby monsters, and set up a large protective magic circle. All of these matters are very difficult. Even though the industrial team has invented several new magical machines that are convenient for construction, there are tens of thousands of demons involved in the construction of each city, and it still took nearly half a year.
During the past six months, through night classes every night, most demons have been able to master basic mathematical calculations and understand the magic notices in the account books.
The barriers between the various demon tribes are becoming smaller and smaller. Not only have they become friends with each other, but even the houses they live in are no longer clearly separated. Many demons have begun to live together and rent houses with demons from other tribes.
If you ask Warren what his biggest gain was in the past six months, he would definitely answer excitedly that the Demon King's Palace had recently added twenty-eight new cub eggs!
They have more and more trust in the Demon King's Palace. Even the Blood Wolf Clan has not hesitated about whether to raise the cub eggs in the Demon King's Palace. Now there are 29 cub eggs in the incubation room on the first floor of the palace. The light blue eggs are in the center of the incubation room. They shake proudly from time to time. Judging from their lively appearance, they may be close to hatching.
In addition, Warren also completed the two achievements [The Birth of New Life] and [Reform] for which he had not drawn the task rewards before - the former's task content was [At least ten cubs like you from the bottom of their hearts], and the latter's task content was [Make substantial and beneficial improvements to the system of the Demon King's Palace] - both tasks were automatically completed the moment they were drawn.
"I got a total of 12 magic crystals from these two tasks," Warren said to himself while chewing a lollipop while sitting on a rattan chair on the balcony of the Demon King's Palace. "There's only one achievement left to complete. I'll finish this task before I draw the card."
The system had told him before that [Reputation LV3] was the advanced achievement of [Reputation LV2], sharing the same achievement task and unable to be drawn again. Therefore, the only achievement he could draw was [Unhindered] which he obtained by eliminating all the buffs on his identity card before the Demon Feast.
...
...
Opening the task interface, he randomly selected a task gift package and clicked to open it.
[Free from worries and obstacles]
[Extracted: Ordinary Mission 01]
[Mission content: Make at least thirty demons sincerely say "I have no worries!"]
[Time remaining: 90 days]
[Task Reward: Magic Crystal X10]
"What kind of strange mission is this?" After taking a look at the mission content, Warren felt that this mission was simply outrageous. He shook his head helplessly and wrote it down in his memo. "If you want to do this mission, I have to teach everyone what it means to be free of worries first."
As he was thinking this, before he could ponder how to complete the task, the wooden door of the balcony was knocked.
Warren closed the system interface and said, "Come in."
"Your Majesty!" said the Nightmare Demon Sur joyfully. "The infrastructure of Burning Sun City has been basically completed. The demons who chose Burning Sun City can move in soon."
The location where Lie Ri City was built was relatively flat, and it was several thousand meters away from the nearest beast's nest, so the construction speed was much faster than the other two cities. Warren nodded with relief: "Then let's arrange for everyone to move in an orderly manner starting tomorrow."
Soul responded happily.
"The newly built Lie Ri City is so beautiful," she gestured, her eyes sparkling, "It's all very beautiful stone two-story buildings. The city hall in the center of the city is paved with clay tiles, painted the color of the scales of the fire snake, and there is also a snack street."
Imagining that scene, Warren laughed heartily.
With the joint improvement of the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Fallen Angels, the teleportation array of the Demon King's Palace now only needs to be equipped with a black gold plate filled with magic power to operate. It no longer relies on the magic power of the teleported person. Even stone bricks, magical beasts and other items can be teleported. Warren can also go to the Sun City to check the situation through the teleportation array.
However, his current ability to resist risks is too low, so Warren thinks that it is better to wait and see for the sake of caution.
Motioning for Sur to sit on the rattan chair next to him, he curved the corners of his lips slightly and talked about the preparatory work that still needed to be done before the Sun City officially began to operate, as well as the management of the Sun City after it was put into operation. After chatting for a while, his eyes inadvertently turned to the mushroom pot on the table. Warren opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Has this mushroom suddenly grown a lot bigger?
He paused, and Suer looked over in confusion. Following the Demon King's line of sight, she also saw a palm-sized black mushroom in the flowerpot. She was stunned for a moment: "So this is a mushroom?"
She often saw the king holding a flowerpot filled with soil, and she thought he was experimenting with some new magic!
"This mushroom is a treasure of the previous demon king," Warren said frankly, "but I don't know what it is used for. I asked Tiechui and Lil before, and they have never seen this before."
Sur, with a confused look on his face, had obviously never heard of the origin of this mushroom.
"Perhaps you could ask the chief of the Giant Stone Demon Clan?" she suggested. "The Giant Stone Demon Clan has been one of the four major clans in the Demon Realm for thousands of years. They always know a lot of secret information. And the previous Demon King was also the chief of the Goblin Clan—"
"The previous demon king was the chief of the goblin tribe?" Warren was stunned. "Then why did the goblin tribe perish?"
The Nightmare Demon blinked, obviously not expecting that his own king didn't even know the race of the previous demon king. However, he then thought of the king's identity as a possible devil, and it made sense that he didn't pay attention to these small things. So he was no longer surprised, but instead blamed himself for his carelessness and for not even thinking of reporting these things to the king.
"When the previous Demon King was just the Goblin Clan Leader, he wasn't that strong at all. He didn't even dare to confront the other three clan leaders head-on. Then one day, he suddenly became invincible. He broke through the Demon Soldier's defense formation single-handedly and killed the Demon King at that time."
"There were originally several thousand goblins in the goblin tribe, but after the previous demon king became stronger, there were less than a hundred left. Moreover, the previous demon king ignored the remaining goblins and did not even take them to live in the demon palace."
"So even though the other demon tribes were afraid of being retaliated by the previous demon king, no one dared to provoke the goblin tribe, nor did they dare to declare themselves the new four major tribes of the demon realm, but in the end the goblin tribe was still completely destroyed in a beast tide."
"So many demons say that the previous demon king became stronger, most likely because he used blood sacrifice magic," she scratched her ear, "but there is no evidence, everyone is just guessing."
Warren was surprised to hear another story about the former demon king, and he had a deeper understanding of how much of a jerk the former demon king was. He stroked his fingertips and didn't ask any more questions. After talking to Sur about the management of the Sun City, he sent her to call the chief of the giant stone demons over.
After Sur left, he raised his hand, tapped the Demon King's crown hanging on the sharp corner with his fingers, and joked: "I say, system, you have such a big opinion about the previous Demon King, could it be that you are a goblin demon from the Goblin tribe that was abandoned by him?"
The system, which has always been extremely secretive about any information about itself and always pretending not to hear anything, couldn't help itself this time.
[I'm not a disgusting goblin! Don't talk to me!]
Warren smiled, put down his hand, threw the cleaned lollipop into the trash can, his eyes flashing slightly.
This system really has a big problem, he thought. Otherwise, why, when asked about the system's identity, the system's first reaction was not to deny that it had ever appeared in the Demon Realm?
Warren quietly thought about the countermeasures he could take against the system. He didn't speak for a while until the wooden door of the balcony was knocked again. He opened his eyes and said lightly, "Come in."
A little stone demon, less than one meter tall, stepped over the threshold with difficulty, walked into the balcony, and saluted the Demon King in fear and trepidation.
After looking carefully for several times, Warren recognized that this guy was the leader of the Stone Demon Clan, and he almost laughed out loud.
"Why are you smaller every time you come to see me?" He nodded at Dob's stone head with his eyes bent, "If you keep going like this, you giant stone demons will all be renamed small stone demons."
The stone demon chief stood there nervously.
Although he has been in the Demon King's Palace for more than half a year, perhaps because the shadow of the past is too heavy, he still respects and fears the Demon King. If he used his original giant form, his mind would be filled with thoughts about not breaking things, and he would not even dare to move.
Moreover, he has carefully observed the demons that the Demon King is close to. Feiwu, Tiechui and Lir are all from petite races, Tok has just reached adulthood, the Slime Demon has turned into crystal clear mud all day long to act cute, and even the Dragon has transformed into a handsome boy. It is obvious that the Demon King likes petite and cute types!
So he was right to make himself smaller!
After waiting for a while, seeing the Stone Demon Chief scratching his head, not knowing how to answer, Warren smiled and did not intend to urge him to explain. Instead, he asked about the previous Demon King.
The answer given by the Stone Demon Chief was similar to what Sur said.
"I don't know whether the former Demon King's power came from blood sacrifice or not," he said, "but we did send people to inquire about the goblin tribe after the upheaval. At that time, the goblin tribe refused to explain why thousands of goblins suddenly disappeared. They said they encountered a beast tide, but there was no beast tide at that time."
The number of the Stone Demons is very small, so they rarely interfere in the affairs of other large tribes. Except for the last rebellion, they will never rashly make enemies with other races.
Warren nodded, satisfied his desire to listen to gossip, and picked up the mushroom pot on the table: "Do you know what this is?"
The stone demon chief stretched his neck to take a look, his pupils trembling violently.
"This is the tree of life of the natural elves!" he said in shock, "How could this thing appear in the Demon Realm - how could it turn into a mushroom?"
