Chapter 91

Demon King's Castle.

The blood-red moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and thick fog enveloped the entire dark city. Occasionally, a cold lightning flashed, and was quickly swallowed by the darkness. The half-skeletal demon bird disappeared in the thick fog, and occasionally let out a mournful cry.

For the Demon King's Castle, which never sees the sun all year round, today is not a good day. Even the demon beasts in the Demon King's Castle are much more agitated than usual, and many low-level demons passing by have suffered.

Radlock walked quickly in the corridor of the castle. His footsteps echoed in the empty castle until he stopped in front of a tall carved wooden door.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty Nekomus?"

"Are you in there?"

"I..." "Bang!"

There was a sound of heavy objects hitting each other from inside, and the carved door under his palm also shook. Radlock shut up tactfully, not daring to disturb the Demon King inside again.

But he looked at the sky outside the castle with worry. Dark clouds covered the entire Demon King's Castle, and thunder and lightning were hidden in it, revealing their ferocious faces from time to time. The weather in the Demon King's Castle is closely related to the mood of the Demon King himself. Obviously, the Demon King is definitely not in a good mood at this moment.

The demon generals led by Radlock, as the most loyal followers of the Demon King, have no idea about this.

Because, about two months ago, the Demon King began to stay indoors and locked himself in his bedroom. He no longer cared about the affairs of the Demon King's City, nor did he praise his most diligent and loyal demon generals. No one could knock on his bedroom door.

The first month was normal. Judging from the weather, the Demon King was even in a good mood. Until one day more than half a month ago, suddenly, the blood moon was covered by dark clouds, the sea of ​​blood surged, thunder and lightning flashed, and their Demon King was angry.

The monsters were restless, the demons were trembling, and the demons led by Radlock were worried. But until now, no one could knock on the bedroom door. Even the partner of the Demon King, the dragon Savile, refused to tell them a word and sprayed venom on the demons who came to ask.

Thinking of this, Radlock took a deep breath and knocked on the door again: "Your Majesty Nekomus..."

With a "creak", this time, before he could say anything, the door was opened from the inside.

The Demon King, who had not appeared for many days, appeared in front of him in a gorgeous robe. Radlock was stunned for a moment. Even under the Demon King's cold and indifferent gaze, he still felt like tears welling up in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you finally came out!" Radlock said incoherently: "I haven't seen you in the past two months. I am really..."

"Enough, Radlock." Nekomus said sullenly: "Stop talking nonsense and talk about business."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Radlock followed the Demon King closely. When he arrived at the meeting hall, other demons had received the news and were waiting there.

After not seeing their Demon King for two whole months, the demons had a lot to say. In the past two months, they have made a lot of efforts to get the attention of the Demon King and to make the Demon King feel better.

However, when the demons led by Radlock could not wait to tell about their efforts in the past two months, they did not receive the usual praise and recognition. In fact, their demon king, who sat on a throne piled with skulls, did not even glance at them.

Nekomus played the handheld game console in his hand with an expressionless face.

His fingers moved quickly on the buttons, and his eyes were fixed on the screen. The small pixel figures jumped around on the screen as he operated, avoiding traps, eating props, and hitting monsters... As for the rest, they went in one ear and out the other.

The demons with goat horns on their heads stared at the strange props in the demon king's hand.

What is that?

Why can it attract the attention of their majesty?

Could it be that this strange thing attracted the attention of the demon king in the past two months? !

Unconsciously, the sounds in his ears gradually stopped, leaving only the sound effects from the game console in his hand. Nekomus raised his head distractedly and looked at his subordinates: "Are you done?"

The demons hesitated: "Yes..."

"Then that's all for today."

Nekomus stood up and walked out, lowering his head to concentrate on operating the game console and returning to the original path.

If it weren't for his subordinates being too worried about him because he hadn't appeared for a long time, causing his pet to come to complain several times, Nekomus didn't even want to come out of the bedroom. Come out and show your face, and you can go back to playing games.

In fact, he has already completed the game in his hand, and he has played it again for who knows how many times.

The sky outside the castle thundered twice according to his mood.

Alas, I don't know what the new game console that the supermarket owner talked about looks like, it must be very interesting. Nekomus thought.

The demons he left behind looked at each other in panic.

Why? Why didn't their majesty praise their actions this time?

Was he dissatisfied with their actions? Did he think that their progress in conquering the world and conquering humanity was too slow? Did they disappoint his majesty?

"Wait, your majesty, please wait a moment! I still have something to report."

Radlock turned his head and spoke. The one who spoke was the demon general with the lowest military power among them. He was usually not very noticeable and liked to delve into some strange things.

For example, at this moment, Nekomus stopped and looked over when he heard the voice. The demon said, "Your majesty, I recently invented a prop that allows you to see the entire Demon King's Castle in the castle..."

The eyes of the other demons suddenly changed.

What a cunning fellow, he actually used this method to please His Majesty!

All the demons know that their Majesty doesn't like to go out. What prop could be more to the Demon King's liking than this? The

Demon King replied indifferently: "Just that?"

The demon was stunned, and then panicked: "There's, there's... there's..." He couldn't say it. In fact, this prop is the result of his hard work for more than half a year. Before he took it out, he was full of confidence because the Demon King had mentioned similar troubles casually. When he started to study this prop, he never thought that he would get such a cold reaction. Could it be that their Majesty already has a better alternative? But...

Nekomus said calmly: "Fernando, you have always been different from other demons. You are very good at making magic props and have made many useful props."

Fernando was overjoyed by the praise: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"If you can make something like humans..." Nekomus paused, remembering what he had learned. Electricity has nothing to do with magic and is not something his subordinate is good at. Moreover, the reason why the dwarves were able to research it was because the supermarket owner generously gave them gifts, but demons were obviously not within the scope of being given gifts. He sighed: "...Forget it."

All the demons were struck by lightning!

Humans...

their demon king said that they are not as good as humans!

Nekomus put the game console in his pocket and left the meeting room in a depressed mood with the muffled sound of thunder.

The human hero... When will the human hero come?

...

After seeing off the last customer in the morning, Jiang Li closed the door of the supermarket. He was not in a hurry to return to Earth, but went out to Levi's restaurant to enjoy a modified version of Chinese food from another world.

Although it was the same cooking and seasoning method, I don't know if it was mainly because the ingredients used were monster meat from another world, the modified meat dishes from another world also brought some unique flavors. Jiang Li would occasionally come to improve the taste.

He came at an unlucky time. The restaurant was full of people, but there happened to be a table with only one person sitting. Jiang Li shared the table with this guest.

After sitting down, he found that it was an acquaintance.

"Mr. Nekomus?"

The demon king, who was concentrating on enjoying a delicious lunch, raised his head, and saw that it was him, and nodded as a greeting.

Jiang Li ordered a recommended set meal for himself, only to find that the table in front of him was full of fish dishes, pickled fish, braised fish, tomato fish ball soup... except for fish, there was nothing else.

The guests at the same table obviously had no time to talk to him, and the dishes they ordered would take some time to come up. While waiting, Jiang Li looked around.

Since the last time he came, the interior of Levi's restaurant has changed a lot.

Not to mention the electric lights hanging from the roof, there are also several magic props. There are several magic teapots on the counter that can pour out an endless supply of tea, a money box that can automatically count gold coins, and props similar to dishwashers that can automatically wash dishes... As far as Jiang Li knows, these are all Brian's new works.

Since the appearance of electricity in Dolei City, as a master of alchemy, Brian has also put in a lot of effort to come up with a lot of new props. I don't know if it was influenced by the supermarket, but his new works are full of practicality. For example, the magic prop that can count gold coins, Jiang Li also bought one, which helped a lot in his daily business.

Of course, there is also a magic car. After that, he also invented other magical means of transportation. Of course, they were also expensive.

The two masters competed with each other. Today, the residents of Dore City are both happy and sad because magic props are expensive, and electricity...

Suddenly, the restaurant darkened, leaving only the sunlight coming in from the window, and the people who were dining all moved at once.

Everyone looked up and looked at the electric lights hanging on the ceiling. Sure enough, the lights were off.

"The power outage again?"

"Fortunately it was during the day."

"Did someone use too many electrical appliances in one breath?"

Jiang Li sat calmly in his seat and skillfully used magic to light up the surroundings. The other magicians who were dining did the same until the waiter in the restaurant lit the spare oil lamp next to him.

Although electricity is convenient, it is still a little unstable.

The electricity consumption of Dolei City is greater than expected, especially after the electricity, new residents flocked to Dolei City, the demand increased greatly, the dwarf craftsmen are seizing the time to build new power generation equipment, before this, power outages often occurred.

The residents of Dolei City are used to this, after a brief pause, they quickly continue to talk about the previous topic.

"Have you heard? The Demon King's army has been getting more and more active recently."

"Several cities have been attacked by them, and they were all led by the nobles of the demon clan. Such large-scale attacks were rarely seen before..."

"The demons are crazier than before. I wonder if they are planning something big. It's really worrying."

"Fortunately, Duolei City has not been attacked by the demons. If it continues like this, I don't know if the demons will come here..."

Jiang Li was distracted by the discussion of other guests until the food he ordered was served, and then he regained his attention.

But the discussion of other guests did not stop.

"We have Mr. Jiang Li and Mr. Messenal in Dore City, and the giant dragon Serego is protecting us. Unless the Demon King comes in person, other demons may not be their opponents."

"Yes, isn't City Lord Dean working with Mr. Brian to build a defensive magic circle? With Mr. Jiang Li and the others here, Dore City is much safer than other cities!"

"I really hope the demons can be defeated soon..."

"I heard that His Majesty the King is gathering warriors to attack the demons. I wonder if he will succeed this time."

"I heard that the current Demon King in the Demon King's Castle is the most powerful demon in history. I don't know who can defeat him..."

Today's recommended set meal is a new dish developed by Levi. It uses a sauce made from local plants in another world, adopts Chinese cooking methods, and uses a kind of tender and juicy monster meat. Combined together, it is a new taste that Jiang Li has never tasted before. It is not bad, and he eats it with relish.

The black-haired guest at the same table has finished his lunch. He put down his chopsticks, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat in his seat and stared at Jiang Li.

Being stared at by such eyes, it was hard for Jiang Li not to notice.

Jiang Li raised his head in confusion: "Is there anything wrong?"

Nekomus said: "I have completed the game for the tenth time."

Jiang Li: "..."

The Demon King looked at him with a sharp eye.

Jiang Li said helplessly: "I have already said, Mr. Nekomus, I can't sell those game consoles to you."

Nekomus: "But I heard that the dragon in Dore City bought that kind of game console."

Not only did he buy it, he even sent a letter to the Demon King's City to show off. For this, his pet climbed on his window and got angry, and even smashed a tower of the castle.

Jiang Li replied calmly: "Yes, Mr. Serego bought the game console, but he didn't control his strength during use, and soon he crushed it and couldn't use it anymore."

Nekomus: "..."

The demon king said depressedly: "Can't we use magic energy instead?"

Jiang Li spread his hands: "There is no such improvement at present, maybe there will be in the future?"

Jiang Li thought for a while: "But there is another way."

"What?"

"Mobile power." Jiang Li recalled: "There is a solar mobile power supply that can be connected to various electronic products for use."

Nekomus was confused: "Does the supermarket have such products?"

Jiang Li said generously: "There is no supermarket, but I can buy it for you."

After all, Mr. Nekomus is a big customer of the supermarket.

Although he has not been to the supermarket for a long time and not many times, he will empty most of the shelves every time he comes, which is more generous than Augustus. For such a big customer, Jiang Li doesn't mind providing some convenience.

The demon king's eyes lit up.

"With that power bank, I can charge my game console?"

"Yes. But the power bank can only hold a limited amount of power, so it needs to be charged constantly."

That's much better than having no power at all!

Nekomus asked expectantly, "How do I use that power bank?"

Jiang Li: "It's very simple, just put it under the sun."

Nekomus: "..."

The demon king pondered for a moment.

The question is, what if there is no sun in the demon king's castle?
