Devil's Journey

Chapter 211 Unbelievable
Sitting on a chair with the cute and soft Nana in his arms, Julian patiently listened to Satania's somewhat confusing words about her experience, and asked a few questions from time to time.

I don’t know if it’s because of the devil’s bloodline. Satania always makes mistakes in the process of describing, and from time to time she proudly brags about her achievements, such as how to kill a big slime , Another example is to drive away the army of demons who want to invade her territory repeatedly. (Probably an army of several imps.)
In addition, there are all kinds of miscellaneous bits and pieces, basically most of them are trivial things in life. What Julian wants to know most is how the other party became a demon lord.

But it's a pity that Satania herself doesn't know, let alone understand. It seems that when the other party is conscious, he is a demon lord, owning a small and barren territory.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for a demon lord to be born in such a small and barren territory, because shallow water cannot raise real dragons, but the other party has indeed become a demon lord, although it is a bit weaker and useless.
'There must be something strange about this matter. Julian's eyes were half-opened and half-closed. After thinking for a while, he decided to leave the other party for now, and then slowly discover the secrets of the other party. Of course, he also wants to be a demon lord or something.

But what he wants to be is not the lord who is such a useless opponent, but what he wants to be a life-and-death lord
A mighty lord in his hands.

After thinking about it, Julian opened his eyes, put on a gentle expression, patted Nana in his arms, and said pretending to admire: "Master Satania is really extraordinary, I admire her deeply, but unfortunately she is far away from me." The Lady Satania in my mind is still far away, so please forgive me for refusing."

Julian stretched out his hand and gestured the distance between his index finger and thumb, then shook his head regretfully, expressing that he could not regard the other party as his lord for the time being.

"What?!" Satania shouted in surprise, as if Julian's rejection was beyond her expectations.

Julian didn't know where the other party's self-confidence came from. It could only be attributed to the other party's extraordinary talent. Julian curled his lips secretly, but he didn't show anything on his face. After all, he was a despicable social monster.

"Master Satania, I think you still have a lot of room for improvement, but now you don't have enough strength to be my lord, unless you have the strength to control me after cruel practice , then I will recognize you as my lord."

Julian's serious tone infected Satania, making Satania involuntarily become serious, and began to reflect on whether her strength was still a little weak.
Uh, it seems more than a little, even with Satania's heartlessness, she was a little embarrassed, but then quickly forgot about this embarrassment, and stared at Julian expectantly.

"Is that so? As long as I go through that cruel practice, will you be able to recognize me as the lord?"

Julian nodded, and then continued: "However, I need to decide how to practice. How about it, do you dare?"

Satania directly clenched her fists and shouted loudly: "Of course, I, Satania, will become the most powerful demon in Moyuan in the future, how could I dare not accept it!"

"Okay, that's the kind of aura that a demon lord should have." Julian nodded with satisfaction, and then gave affirmation and encouragement, which made Satania quite encouraged.

The winding commercial road across the South Tyrell Mountains has been widened many times, and ordinary carriages can pass through it, but it still needs to be detoured along the mountain frequently, and monsters and small-scale wild monsters often attack it during this period. .

Fortunately, the two sides of the commercial road are relatively flat, and the valleys suitable for living are equipped with thousands of households and hundreds of households. The caravan can take a break at the nearby trading post built by the Demon Ministry, and find out if there are new monsters nearby.

At the exit on the east side of the commercial road, a majestic castle is under construction. Large monsters are used as tools. Many slaves are desperately completing demanding tasks. From time to time, exhausted slaves are dragged out. If they are dead or dying, It will be fed to those monsters as food.

If they were still alive, they would be taken off duty maliciously, then executed in public, and then fed to monsters. The monsters in charge of the work had already gotten used to their identities and treated those slaves extremely cruelly.

And the only chance for these slaves to stand up is to awaken their power and advance to the rank of black iron, so as to break away from their status as slaves and become a new demon. However, the chances of slaves' awakening are not high, even if the chance is slightly increased between life and death.

However, there are still some slaves who previously concealed their identities because they did not want to become demons, but they couldn't bear such abuse and chose to take refuge. Most of these people were classified as the Demon Association Army.

Compared with these slaves who are treated worse than cattle and horses, the treatment of the laborers recruited from the demon tribe is much better. Although the work is still hard, at least the death rate is not high, and there are opportunities for treatment when they are sick , will not be directly dragged to feed the beast.

This kind of differential treatment has reduced the complaints of those devil laborers. They are afraid of differentiation and comparison in everything. In comparison, the devil laborers can't help but feel a little proud.

The better treatment is the Demon Army and the Demon Alliance Army. The Consul Alice did not cancel the Magic Alliance Army and incorporated it into the Demon Ministry, but re-established the magic circle, weakening the magic of the Magic Alliance Army. The appearance of the new Magic Alliance Army has not changed much, and there are no magic horns and tails.

It's just that the inside has become closer to a demon, and at the same time it has been partially strengthened, but it still looks like a normal person on the outside. Such a half-devil is more suitable for a transitional role.

Whether it is used as spies, to perform special tasks, or for softer management, the rich people who temporarily stay in Hegu Town are a good choice. As for those demon tribes, they have completely become a new race. Among the newborn demons, most of them have been able to stabilize the blood of the demons.

There are still some problems in the inheritance of the demonized half-elves that need to be overcome. However, Alice is too busy to spare time to do research. In addition, her knowledge is also a little behind. After listening to Alice's appeal, Julian took He promises with confidence that he will find another powerful magic consultant for Alice to share Alice's work.

Although Alice was very happy about this, at the same time she was a little worried that Julian would kidnap another beautiful woman, and this was entirely possible.

The construction of the Magic Moon Castle will take some time, and Liya, who is in charge of the construction, received a message from Julian, calling her back to discuss the matter and make up for the arrears of 'salary'.

Even Liya, who became more and more indifferent and ruthless, couldn't help but feel anticipation in her heart. For the first time, she ordered everyone to have extra meals today, including the slaves, and allowed everyone to get off work and rest early today.

The slaves who were struggling on the line of life and death couldn't even believe that this notorious Mr. Executioner would actually give such a little bit of kindness, which is incredible.
