Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 375: Increasing Income and Reducing Expenditure
"You are so rude. Even if you are a friend of Her Highness Alice, you cannot treat Her Highness like this."

Claire drew the sword from her waist and angrily scolded the girl who was shaking her princess.

"Ha, you bastard, don't you understand the current situation? It is your country that needs a great Red Devil King like me to prevent you from falling into a miserable future of war. Now you dare to talk to me with this attitude?!"

However, Huihui was not afraid at all. She ignored the threat of the sword and moved closer to spit at Claire.

The guard knight was forced to retreat step by step, with veins throbbing on his forehead, and he seemed to be on the verge of exploding, which made Broly look over with some caution.

"Claire, put the sword down."

"But Your Highness..."

"I'm fine. Huihui won't hurt me."

After hearing what her princess said, Claire had no choice but to put away her sword, and Broly also withdrew his vigilant gaze at her.

"Meihui, I want to help with this, but I'm just a princess. The country's finances are not something I can interfere with."

Princess Alice explained first, and then said: "But I can take out my personal property."

"how many?"

Huihui asked directly.

"Two estates and a piece of land."

Princess Alice answered.

"How much is that?"

Huihui was puzzled.

"It's probably worth more than 30 million eris."

Rain, who is also a female magician who serves as a guard, answered this question.

"Eh, just this much?"

Huihui frowned.

"What do you mean it's just this little? This is already a lot!"

Claire was very dissatisfied.

"Cute Alice is the princess of the kingdom!"

Huihui couldn't believe that a princess of a kingdom would only have so little money.

"So what if she's a princess? My princess doesn't have any surplus food. Don't you know that the kingdom's military budget has been greatly reduced?
Nowadays, Her Royal Highness the Princess has cancelled her daily training, and even her favorite weapon, the [Dragon Slaying Greatsword], has had its maintenance level reduced.

The best anti-rust oil was replaced with a second-rate one, and the monthly maintenance program for magic craftsmen was also cancelled.

The purpose is to help my father and brother and reduce the country's military expenditures."

"Well, even so, isn't Alice eating high-level, expensive monster meat?"

Huihui asked again.

“Expensive, that’s based on the market price, but the market simply can’t consume too much high-level monster meat.

The high-level monster meat that is hunted but cannot be sold is nothing more than some meat food that will rot.

What? You don’t think that the monster meat that my princess eats is bought in the market?
No, those were monsters hunted during the Kingdom’s army’s daily training, and the cost was only the manpower of the Kingdom’s army.

Only a small portion of the monster meat we hunt can be exchanged for Eris, which is not enough to cover the training expenses of the Kingdom’s army! ”

Claire said sarcastically.

“In addition, the two manors of Her Royal Highness the Princess are also the inheritance left to her by her mother. The land was awarded by His Majesty the King for her meritorious service in defeating the dragon that broke into the capital in the early years. It will be Her Royal Highness the Princess’ dowry in the future.

Because of you, my prince has already taken out everything he can, but you still think it is not enough. What else do you want?
Should I ask my princess to sell all her weapons and armor, or should I ask her to sell herself to raise money for you to become a demon king?"

As Rain said this, he glared at Huihui.

"Oh, that's not what I meant."

Huihui felt a little at a loss.

"Well, I was just kidding. After all, Huihui wouldn't ask her friends to donate the inheritance left by her mother and the dowry she earned."

Darkness stepped forward at this time, took Huihui's hand off Princess Alice's collar, and said this to Claire and Rain.

The ancient royal family of Belze is a model of the emperor guarding the country's borders. The royal capital is very close to the front-line fortress. When the royal family of this country was facing the Demon King's army head-on, they tried their best to spend every penny wisely.

Even though the Demon King's Army has been disbanded for more than two years, this practice has become a habit of the ancient Belzec royal family.

Therefore, even though Alice was the little princess of the kingdom, she did not have much extra wealth.

“No, Darkness, I don’t mind. This is for the future of this world and the countless people in our country!”

Princess Alice took a step forward and continued, "I think even my late mother would not blame me for donating the things she left me to Huihui. All this is for peace."

"Hey, what made me have to wear sunglasses?"

After Princess Alice finished speaking, Aqua took out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and put them on her nose.

"It is glory, the glory of responsibility and awareness!"

Eris answered her question.

“Should I say, you are truly worthy of being a member of the Belze ancient royal family?!”

The old devil sighed a little. As a former opponent and enemy, he still had respect for the royal family of the ancient Kingdom of Belzer.

Because the leader of this country is not the type who talks nonsense behind people's backs, letting his subordinates fight hard in the front while he enjoys himself in the rear.

Instead, he would put on heavy armor, carry a big sword and go to the battlefield, leading his soldiers and fighting the Demon King's army with real swords and guns.

If we count them, there are many members of the Belzegu royal family who died on the battlefield while trying to resist the invasion of the Demon King's army.

When the old Demon King was in charge of the Demon Army, the previous king and the previous king of the ancient Kingdom of Belzer died on the battlefield.

The old devil's impression of the ancient royal family of Belzec is that they are tough. Perhaps it is precisely because their bones are too tough that a war-torn future will emerge.

Otherwise, if the ancient Belzec royal family can be ruthless and carry out armed disarmament, it is likely that war will be unlikely to occur in the future.

The old devil was right. As for the future war, the political oppression from the other two kingdoms was only half the reason. The other half was due to the royal family of the ancient Kingdom of Belzer, and the characters of His Majesty the King and subsequent heirs were too tough.

Instead of asking them to make the decision to sacrifice their lives and deaths with their own soldiers, it would be better for them to turn the table over and lead their own army to go to war with the other two kingdoms.

But war is something that gets out of control as it goes on.

Once upon a time, the old demon king didn't want to invade the human world, but the problem was that the monster troops under him didn't think so, and the brave men who kept coming to this world didn't think so either. He was also controlled by his subordinates and coerced by external forces, playing the role of the strongest demon king who was wise and powerful under the trend of the times.

The Yakuza-like future demon king Huihui was beaten into a state of chaos by the brilliant speech of Princess Alice.

She blushed and apologized to Princess Alice, but Princess Alice refused to give in and wanted to donate to her the start-up funds for the new Demon King's army.

Fortunately, Youyou persuaded them that the establishment of the new Demon King's army requires a stable source of funds, which cannot be supported by one or two donations.

"If you want to build a new Demon King Army, you need money. If you want to make money, you can only consider two aspects.

The first is to increase revenue and find a stable source of income.

The second is to save money and reduce the money needed to maintain the existence of the new Demon King’s army…”

Everyone sat down to discuss again, and soon came up with two useful methods for the issue of open source. "We can learn from the old demon king's method and recruit a group of intelligent monsters to open up wasteland and farm, engage in breeding, and engage in production work."

Darkness said.

"But I'm not familiar with monsters. When I encountered monsters before, the only diplomatic method I used was to use explosion magic to fry them..."

Huihui was a little embarrassed.

"You are not familiar with him, but there are people who are familiar with him, such as this old demon king."

Soket pointed at the white-bearded old man next to him and said.

Old Demon King: “…”

He really doesn't want to be rehired by the new Demon King's Army!

"For example, the Archbishop of Axis, the sect of Miss Aqua, has a superb technique for mating, ahem, communicating with monsters that goes straight to their nature."

After coughing twice, the fortune teller quickly corrected her statement.

"Hey, you're talking about mating, right? I heard it all, that's not some serious guy, right?!"

Huihui asked with a dark face.

"It may be unorthodox, but in my prophecy, it was because of the other party's development that Axis became the world's number one religion in the troubled times."

Well, the new Demon King's army has already had a candidate for the monster diplomat. As for whether the other party is willing, with Aqua, the beloved goddess of water, there should be no problem. Considering the level of fanaticism of the Axis Cult, it may only take an oracle to solve the problem.

"In addition to recruiting monsters to engage in production, I think it would be a good idea for you, Huihui, to ask the people of the kingdom for money."

Darkness said again.

"Hey, didn't you say you wouldn't force donations?"

Huihui was a little surprised.

"I'm not asking you to ask Alice for money. I'm asking you to ask the three kingdoms for money."

Darkness quickly explained.

"Ah, how is it possible to get this?"

Youyou's eyes widened.

"No, I want to get it."

Huihui’s eyes lit up.

"As long as the threat posed by the new Demon King's army is terrifying enough, we must obtain it."

Huihui had a lot of thoughts at this moment.

"Let's talk about saving money, but you have to talk to those people in your village who are willing to help you form the Red Devil Army. As long as they are willing to take less money, saving money will not be a problem."

After the meeting, Broly and others went to find the village chief of Scarlet Demon Village, who is also Youyou's father.

“What? This world is going to be in chaos and chaos. In order to stop the chaos and chaos, you want to become a demon king and build a new demon army?”

"It's the Red Devil Army. I need the help of the villagers. Of course, it's paid help. However, I hope everyone can ask for less salary. It would be better if you don't ask for it."

As he listened to Huihui's words, Yunyun's father rubbed his chin.

"I really can't make the decision on this, but I can help you gather the people in the village and you can go and talk to them yourself."

evening.

"Hey, when will you send us back?"

The devil's daughter complained that their boat had been stranded in someone else's yard for most of the day.

"Go back, what do you mean, you have already been recruited.

Okay, stop talking nonsense and quickly take the fish off your boat.

We are going to have a fish roasting party in this yard tonight!"

Aqua loves parties so much. She just held one last night and is planning to hold another one tonight.

The old devil and his daughter: "..."

He wanted to refute but saw the Saiyan boy working and moving fish, so he could only accept the situation that the two of them were temporarily forced to do so.

"Everyone..."

A group of Crimson Demons came to Huihui's yard at night. Huihui did not hesitate to go on board and speak, and the content was nothing more than that she wanted to become the Crimson Demon King for the sake of justice.

Therefore, she hopes to get the support of the elders and fellow villagers, and hopes that the elders and fellow villagers can come to her and be the cattle and horses of the future Red Devils Army, preferably with free dry food.

The result was just as Miss Sokett had expected. Except for the younger Crimson Demon children who did not have to bear the burden of real life, all the adults looked embarrassed.

"Meihui, although we really want to support your career as a demon king, we also need to make a living. I hope you can understand us."

"Yeah, yeah, it's okay to help out occasionally, but it's a big problem to help out all the time."

"Everyone, everyone, we don't pay you wages now, or only pay a small amount of wages, because the Red Devils Army has not yet started, but when our Red Devils Army starts to turn around and has enough earning power, we will definitely pay you wages."

Huihui drew the cake big and round, but unfortunately, the Crimson Demons don’t like cakes very much.

"Hui Hui, I don't think you can handle the identity of the Red Demon King. Why don't you let me help you? I have a lot of wealth and am the largest landlord of the Red Demon Clan. I can give you money when the time comes."

Oh, it’s not right not to like eating cakes, but to like eating bigger cakes.

Rather than being a soldier in the future Crimson Demon Army that has yet to be formed, some wealthy Crimson Demons would rather be the ultimate villain, the enemy of humanity, the Crimson Demon King.

They all tried to persuade Huihui to abdicate and let them, the adults, take on the heavy responsibility of the Red Devil King and dedicate themselves to the future peace of the world.

"Ah, you bastards, don't even think about taking the Red Devil King away from me!"

Of course Huihui didn't want to give in to this.

"That's nothing we can do. We can only do our job impartially. You have to pay us enough before we can help you."

The adults of the Crimson Demon Clan shrugged, indicating that they were powerless to do anything.

Of course, these adults didn’t really want to make things difficult for Huihui, but the position of Crimson Devil King was actually dangerous. Instead of letting the younger generation of Huihui take the risk, it would be better to hand it over to these adults.

After all, most of the adults in the Crimson Demon Clan know teleportation magic, and can just run away when they are assassinated, unlike Huihui.

Huihui was very distressed about this situation. What kind of money saving is this? I hope these bastards don't take the opportunity to raise their own employment prices.

"Hui Hui, you want to save money, right? I have an idea."

Just when Huihui was in distress, Yougouhui came to her door on his own initiative.

"Hey, that's great. What's your idea?"

“Anyway, you just want to scare the three kingdoms to ensure future peace, you don’t really intend to go to war with the three kingdoms.

Instead of forming a real, combat-capable demon army, it is better to form a fake, more intimidating demon army.

You can hire the villagers to have a super large-scale script-killing show with the world as the stage!"

Enough to say so.
