Chapter 244 The Demon King's Insight
The second day of special vacation.
Because I was delayed by accident yesterday, I didn’t care about breakfast after getting up today, so I immediately prepared to go directly to the Demon King’s City to build the Hero Furnace.
However, it is worth mentioning that before leaving the college dormitory, I accidentally met Luweika, who was obviously wandering in the aisle for a long time outside my room.
I originally thought Luvika had something important to convey, but the reason why she appeared here seemed to be just to convey a sentence of unknown meaning.
Waiting for a while, both me and you are the same. After saying what you should say, Luvika turned around and left without giving me any time to digest, and threw me alone in the corridor, who was still in the state.
Well, maybe I can consider writing the interaction between Luvika for a short collection in the future, and the title of the book is simply "About Not Understanding What Seraph is Saying".
Putting Luvika's affairs aside, I soon met Seno who came to greet him after passing through the teleportation array. Due to the popularity of the beheader, there has been no half of the itinerary that has been directly involved in the recent period. It is a pity that the Demon King City has become a garrison, but seeing that Seno itself doesn't seem to mind the fact that he has nowhere to use his force, so the headless knight will probably have to be a defender for a long time in the future.
Having said that, during the next period in the commercial city, we will inevitably continue to deal with Lucario, but these two relatives who are from the Legendary Brave family seem to be quite frightened. It is true that if the two really meet, they will fight on the spot. So the final conclusion is better not to mobilize Sano.
I don't know how powerful Lucario is, but since he is the true successor of the legendary Braves family, it is probably not that bad. At least Diana told me privately that she could feel a strong pressure from Lucario, and this pressure was not lower than Seno.
Of course, this may have a lot to do with the fact that Sano has never shown its true strength so far. No matter how bad it is, Sano is still a legendary strongman classified by the system. If you use game terms, it means that the account has been practiced to the top, so why can there be few amazing moves that are under the box?
Let's go, today's goal is to draw a new hero from the hero furnace to make up for the gap in manpower. I briefly said hello to Sano, and I did a waist stretching move. I haven't played the lottery game provided by the system for a long time. I have been saying that my hands are very itchy recently.
Sano walked to me and stood and positioned, but then looked around and after confirming that no one except me passed the teleportation array, he suddenly reminded me: Lord Demon King, before you start building the hero furnace, I dared to ask, have you forgotten some... not that important trivial matters?
Since it is rare to hear Sano remind me of the matter, I thought seriously about whether there was really something missing. But in the end I searched for the memory but failed, so I had to grab my hair and give Sano a look. As for the words, I responded casually: Since it is a trivial matter, it would be no difference even if I forget it.
If you say that, I naturally have no objection. After confirming that the expression on my face was really indifferent, Sano bowed to me and retreated back to his original guard position.
Seeing that Sano didn't intend to express her opinions again, I felt a little strange in my heart. Sometimes people in other worlds always don't say the whole thing... Well, this habit seems not limited to people in other worlds, but seeing that Sano didn't insist on asking me to pay attention, I didn't take this matter especially in my heart. I turned around and threw it behind my head.
Leading Seno to walk through the city quickly, several dark priests quickly passed by the passage and handed over the drawings they had originally put in their arms to Seno, and then quickly disappeared from the other end of the passage.
Sano, how is the current allocation of the reservation for the city-divided facilities? While walking, I talked to Sano. I didn’t turn around and directly let my right hand tilt over my shoulders, and spread my palms toward Sano in the back and said: Forget it, don’t say anything, just take the map and show it to me.
Yes, the map is here.
Seno's voice came from behind, and then I felt the palm of my right hand sink. After I pulled my hand back, the scrolls in my palm were the drawings handed over to Seno just now. It can be seen that as soon as I stepped into the sub-city, the dark priest of the entire temporary castle had already set off.
The map has marked the predetermined locations for each building, but the difference from the city in remote forests is that the city has limited land. In order to make full use of the limited land, I can only choose a few more critical projects for construction among the many buildings. At the same time, facilities such as cemeteries that will have a significant impact on the land are naturally not necessary to say, and they must be excluded from the list anyway.
After a round of deletion in my mind, I finally got half of the buildings on the ground on the map and finally got back. For example, I thought it was unnecessary to exist for recruitment sites of various types of troops. First, although the degree of concealment is not as close as the city, the location of the city is already remote enough. Second, the city is divided into the city with the famous beheader, Seno, who is personally in charge of the city. Any adventurer who step into this area will never have any possibility of survival.
The garrisons have too strong combat power, so I think there will be no additional problems even if they are not arranged to recruit troops in the city. However, although they do not plan to build a recruitment camp, the training camp is not that it cannot be negotiated. I heard that the recent conflict between the Spartan team and the archer team has become increasingly dense, so it is almost time to transfer the troops on both sides to train separately.
In my opinion, in the short term, the Hero Furnace and the Archer Training Ground are only needed to build a hero furnace and an archer training ground. As for the remaining space... What do you think about this? Even if I make a decision, I still didn't forget to ask Seno for his opinion before the final implementation. In terms of the time spent in the Sub-City, Sano is enough to be several streets away from me. Compared with me, she is the real local snake in this area.
I am not good at planning and management matters, but if the Demon Lord really wants to listen to my thoughts, I think you can build monster training camps and Slime Caves around the sub-city that can increase the density of monsters nearby. Perhaps I noticed my inner doubts, and Seno further explained without waiting for me to speak: After observing this period, I found that the people living near the sub-city are all tame creatures that cannot be called monsters. They have neither magic nor sharp claws, but they are not physically seldom creatures. The fur on it has a price that is inconsistent with its threat, so nearby villagers often come here to capture these creatures and sell them. After letting the dark priests count the number of visitors, their subordinates regretfully report to you that the exposure risk here is much higher than expected when they were originally built. Therefore, in order to prevent villagers from approaching, they will recommend that the Demon King cultivate monsters affiliated with the Demon King City and stock them around the sub-city to achieve the effect of expelling those with poor strength.
This suggestion sounds good, but you should know that the commercial benefits of monsters are much higher than those of ordinary animals. Don’t leave when the villagers will attract a group of adventurers. Seno’s insights do sound good, but I’m worried that in the end, I will put the cart before the horse and instead create a group of people with higher levels and better equipment to hunt.
No, it is relatively easier for the subordinates to prevent the people who come here as adventurers. Sano shook his head and spread the characteristics of undead creatures for me: just as the living are particularly sensitive to the breath of death, we and other undead creatures also have unique features in feeling the breath of the living. Usually, the intensity of the life breath emitted by the living will be related to their own abilities. The stronger the ability they have, the less difficult it is for the subordinates to find them.
That doesn't mean that if the person who broke in was a villager, it would be difficult for you to find the other party? I touched my chin and asked with a little curiosity.
Sano continued to shake his head, his movements even bigger than the previous one, and almost shook his head off his neck: Lord Demon King was not what you calculated like, such as the life strength of the target, whether he had cleared his previous whereabouts before moving, and the type of equipment he carried... and other information will actually affect the difficulty of finding people. For example, although the life strength of the villagers is not as strong as that of the adventurer, the adventurer is undoubtedly better in covering up the whereabouts. Therefore, if the subordinates want to find the villagers, the difficulty is not as difficult as chasing the adventurer directly from the breath of life. In addition, the villagers have low combat power, and it only takes a simple charm spell to easily deal with it. In fact, as recently as a few days ago, the Dark Priests were ready to build a magic circle with the effect of expelling mortals around the sub-city. Even if the Demon King did not plan to build a monster training ground, the subordinates and the Dark Priests should be able to cope with it.
After opening the system menu and setting up construction instructions for each building, I couldn't help feeling a little speechless when Seno's speech: If I could really deal with it, I wouldn't have mentioned it to me in particular, right?
Yes, Lord Demon King made a clear understanding. Seeing that I had seen through the truth, Sano honestly accepted it.
I will naturally build a monster training ground after that, but I will lend me your hand first than that.
Yes. Seno took off the armour and put his soft and white hands on my palm: Is that okay?
Well, wait is the same hero furnace draw as always, so let me divide your luck a little bit. Holding Seno's hand, I looked at the hero furnace that rose up from the ground with the high productivity of the Dark Priest, and took a careful breath.
Drink, please ask the God of Wealth to get on my body quickly!
