Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

Irons said it casually, and then according to what he had seen in the book about the vampires, he made up a new identity and background for himself, which scared the red-skinned troll brother.

"Hey, there are vampires who have a bad life too? I see they all have soft skin and tender flesh, as if they have never suffered any hardship."

Irons spread his hands and said, "These days, which race doesn't have demons that suffer? The vampires you see running to the Demon King's City are all noble lords riding on the heads of ordinary vampires like us. Of course, the noble lords have never suffered, because they are all making us suffer."

The distressed and helpless tone portrayed a low-class person so vividly that the red-skinned troll couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, yes, these days are not easy for anyone. We are lucky enough to have made it to the Demon King's City.

I used to live in Troll Ridge. Life was really hard. I would go hungry three times in two days. I also came to Demon King City with my wife. If nothing else, at least the land here is good and you can harvest a lot from growing crops..."

Margaret stood behind Irons and watched him chatting with this red-skinned troll whom he didn't even know, as if he were a local. She couldn't help feeling emotional.

This guy can always get along with this group of grassroots people as quickly as possible. He understands their troubles, their demands, and also knows what they like to hear and say.

The words he said always resonated with these people at the bottom of society, allowing them to open up and chat with him, and then they quickly became friends who felt they had met too late.

Ains had seen this skill many times when Margaret was his assistant. This time when he came to the Demon King's Castle, Ains could still rely on this skill to continue to be at ease among these low-level monsters.

Of course... Margaret was also quite excited by the constant calls of "wife", which made her cheeks blush a little. Oh, if only Ains could be as talkative and cheerful as he was when he used this skill~

Look, this red-skinned troll had already chatted with Irons so much that he didn't want to take any money anymore, so he just broke off a few yams and gave them to Irons.

"Oh, big brother, this won't work. Everyone is having a hard time. If you give me some, you will have to earn less today. I can't accept this. Wife! Pay the money."

“Ah? Oh…oh oh!”

Margaret was stunned for a moment, then she took out a few transparent crystal-like things from her arms and handed them to the red-skinned troll.

The red-skinned troll looked unwilling, and refused a few times for the sake of his reputation, but after all, life was hard, and it would definitely be better if he could earn some money, so soon his reputation was defeated by reality, and the red-skinned troll accepted the crystal with some embarrassment.

The crystal stone that Margaret gave to Irons made him look stunned. This thing... looks so familiar...

However, Irons just kept this discovery in his heart, and now he was still concentrating on chatting with the red-skinned troll.

By chatting with the troll, Irons learned that the troll's name was Batum, and that he currently lived in the outer city area of ​​the Demon King's City, and planted some big-leafed sweet potatoes on the hills outside to feed his family.

After communicating with each other, Batum gradually developed a sense of empathy for Irons' current situation and said to him, "Hey, brother, if you feel that life in the Demon King's City is not easy, I have a place to recommend."

"Hmm? Where to?"

"There's a gang leader in the western part of the outer city. His name is... Constantine Giovanni. He's a vampire hybrid and has many vampire hybrids who are similar to him under his command.

"Young man, if you go there, he will probably accept you into the gang because you were expelled by the vampires. If you can join a gang in the outer city, your life will be much easier."

"Oh! Thank you, bro!"

"It's okay. This matter is known to everyone in the outer city. You will know it if you stay in the Demon King's City for a while."

The two chatted for a while, and finally another demon came to buy yam, and the troll brother said goodbye to Ains with a reluctant expression. He even stuffed an extra piece of yam into Ains's mouth before he left.

After leaving the troll's stall, Margaret teased, "I feel like if you talk for a little longer, he might just invite you to his house for a meal. You did this a lot when you were in Blackwater City anyway."

"Haha, these people are very simple. As long as you humble yourself and say what they want to say and what they want to hear, they will show you the greatest kindness. In this regard, there is no difference between demons and humans."

As he spoke, Irons picked up a piece of the newly bought sweet potato, rubbed off the dirt on the skin, and put it directly into his mouth to chew.

Margaret, who was standing by, was shocked when she saw this and quickly stopped him, saying, "Hey! Wait! Don't chew it!"

"Hmm? Crunchy...what's wrong? It's nothing serious except that it feels a little rough..."

Irons asked doubtfully while chewing the yam in his mouth. This thing had a rough texture, low water content and was not crispy at all. It was even a little sticky in the mouth and had some bitterness. It had a strong fibrous feel and felt a bit numb when rubbing it in the mouth.

It's definitely unpalatable, but not completely inedible.

But obviously, there were still some aspects that Irons didn't know. Margaret hurriedly urged him, "Spit it out! This thing is poisonous if eaten raw!"

"poisonous!?"

Iron was startled and quickly spat out the yam in his mouth. Only then did he realize that the numbing feeling was not caused by the friction of the fibers, but by...toxins.

"Margaret... I feel... I smell so good... it's unstoppable..."

Margaret sighed speechlessly, "Ha... why are you in such a hurry to eat it... Alas, this thing is poisonous if eaten raw, it must be cooked before eating..."

"Ah... then Weihata Weishuo?"

"Maybe it's because this is common sense that the troll forgot to mention... Alas, Ains, there are still many things you need to know in the Demon Realm..."

Chapter 45 Monster Races

“Crackle, crackle, crackle~”

Irons said some words to test the flexibility of his mouth, making sure that his numb mouth had finally regained its instincts.

"Huh~ I finally regained consciousness..."

Irons grumbled thankfully, and Margaret, who was accompanying him, covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "You are not on guard and eat anything you want. The crops in the Demon Realm are generally not very friendly to people."

"Not very friendly?" Irons moved his tongue and asked curiously, "Do you demons have any problem eating such poisonous crops?"

After thinking for a while, Margaret gave Irons some knowledge: "Well, it depends on the race. Some people with good physiques can eat them raw, but some people can't eat them casually.

The Demon King's Castle is surrounded by highly intelligent demons, trolls, demons, imps, succubi, scale demons, beast-headed demons, etc...

The troll is the boss you just met. An adult is usually over two meters tall and full of muscles. Generally speaking, there are two types of trolls: red-skinned and blue-skinned. Although the skin colors are different, there is no essential difference between them.

Demons are the most common race in the demon realm. Even though I am a bit of a succubus, my main bloodline is demon. Apart from having horns, wings, and a pointed tail, I look basically the same as you humans.

The race of imps is the same race as Poluboli and the others. Their characteristic features are their short stature of less than 1.6 meters and the small wings that allow them to barely float.

There is no need to say much about succubus. The demon race that you humans like to talk about the most is succubus. The iconic feature is the heart-shaped membrane tail and of course the magic pattern on the abdomen..."

Hearing this, Ain was stunned. Huh? Succubi actually have this thing? In that case, did Margaret inherit this succubus bloodline?

He asked with great curiosity: "Well... let me ask a slightly offensive question... do you have that magic pattern, Margaret?"

Margaret's expression changed, and she leaned over to Ains' ear and smiled, "If you want to see it, I can show it to you in private~"

"hiss……"

Irons felt like he was about to catch fire again. Margaret was indeed a demon king with succubus bloodline. She always made him lose control...

"Hahaha~ You'll know what my magic patterns look like in the future~ Anyway, you'll have plenty of opportunities to see them in the future~ Let's get back to the topic.

Let’s continue talking about scaled demons. It is a general term for monsters with scales on their bodies, including lizard demons, snake demons, dragon demons, and sirens.

Of course, the dragon demons have their own settlements. The sirens need to live near water, so fewer of them live in the Demon King's City. Lizard demons and snake demons are more common in the Demon King's City.

Then there are the beast-headed demons, which is a general term for demons with animal features on their heads, such as bull-headed demons, horse-headed demons, sheep-headed demons, bird-headed demons, etc. As long as the demon has animal features on its body, it can be classified into this group. "

"Animal characteristics?" When this was mentioned, Ains couldn't help but think of the beast lord, Engla, who gave him the Fang of the Beast King.

"Do you also classify the fierce beasts into the beast-headed demons here?"

Margaret immediately waved her hand and corrected: “Oh, it’s different, Ains, the fierce beast is the fierce beast, the beast-headed demon is the beast-headed demon, the beast-headed demon is a demon unique to the Demon Realm, and the fierce beast is the beast overlord that will be born in the entire continent.

However, the upper limit of the beast-headed demon group is low, just like the little devil, so they cannot give birth to their own demon king. Therefore, Demon King Engla, while serving as the lord of the fierce beasts in the demon realm, also controls the beast-headed demons. "

"A beast-headed demon and a little devil can't give birth to a demon king? Interesting."

Margaret explained: "This is actually because the upper limit of the race is there. The upper limit of the races such as Imp, Beast Demon, Gargoyle, etc. is there. The highest you can reach is Demon General.

The upper limits of demons, trolls, succubi, etc. are higher than theirs, and demon kings can be born from them. Even their lifespans are longer than those of little demons.

The normal lifespan of demons and trolls is about three hundred years. A succubus can live up to five hundred years if it absorbs energy diligently. A dragon demon is almost a powerful creature chosen by God. Not only is it born powerful, but it also has a lifespan of a thousand years.

The lifespan of a demon is only about 100 years old, and a beast-headed demon is even shorter, only 80 years old. A gargoyle can live for a long time, nearly a thousand years, but most of the time it remains petrified..."

Margaret kept telling Ains the common knowledge about the various races in the Demon King's City, which opened Ains's eyes. However, he soon discovered that the races that Margaret mentioned gathered in the Demon King's City did not seem to be that many.

"Hey, Margaret, you don't seem to mention vampires much."

"Vampires have their own gathering places. Few vampires come to the Demon King's City. Even if there are, most of them are mixed-blood. Dressing you up as a pure-blooded vampire like me is a rare species in the Demon King's City~"

Margaret teased him for a while, and Irons suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder there were always strange looks from the demons around him.

However, Irons did not intend to blame Margaret, but continued to ask: "What are the demons that have their own settlements?"

“Well… the vampires are one group. They live in the Blood Mountains west of the Demon King’s City. The weather there is much darker than in the Demon King’s City, but the vampires like it very much.

Then there are the Undead Demons. They and the Skeleton Demons live in the Misty Valley in the south, under the jurisdiction of the Skeleton Demon Lord.

The Fire Demons live near the Elnia volcano in the territory of the Lava Lord. They enjoy the overly hot climate of other races and the boiling magma that can take their lives.

There are also the dragon demons and sirens mentioned earlier. The former have gathering places, and the latter have requirements for habitats.

There are also insect demons. They are all insects that live in the Crystal Mountains in the east and are managed by the Insect Lord Hagrid. Their living habits are very different from other demons, so they are rarely seen in other places.

Another type of monster similar to the insect demon is the tentacle monster group that you saw last time, Histarija. They are somewhat distributed in the Demon King's City, but not in large numbers. Most of them live in the Gor Swamp and have their own unique habits..."

Margaret reported each race to Ironscope one by one, and Ironscope raised his eyebrows, took out a feather pen from his bosom, and then took out a booklet to record everything.

Margaret had the same expression on her face, because it seemed that Irons always had paper and pen on him unexpectedly, even though it seemed like he didn't have these things with him.

Moreover, Irons' writing speed was astonishing. One only had to move the feather pen a few times on the notebook before he could record the things at the speed of human speech.

Margaret even suspected whether this was the magic that Irons had specially learned, but what was puzzling was that Margaret had never found any magical fluctuations when Irons was writing.

This became one of Irons' many secrets, and Margaret was no longer surprised by it.

Seeing that Irons had recorded everything Margaret said in just a few minutes, he looked up at Margaret and asked, "Is that all?"

Margaret folded her arms and shook her head and responded, “Of course not, these are just a few, I just picked out some of the more representative ones.

There are actually a number of other races in the Demon Realm, such as the demon colossus guarding the Former King's Palace, and the banshees I haven't introduced to you yet...

If you include the hybrids, I can let you record for days and nights. Just record these larger groups first...

Oh, I almost forgot, there is a special group that is worth talking to you about."

"Oh? What ethnic group?" Irons asked, becoming interested.

Margaret's expression became serious, and she said to Irons: "Shadow Demon, this race is very mysterious. They all live in the territory of the Lord of Black Tide, which is the southernmost part of the Demon Realm. Further south is the forbidden Chaos Cave of the Demon Realm.

Even as a demon king, I know very little about the shadow demon race, because I have never seen any shadow demon except the Dark Tide Lord.

The Dark Tide Lord himself wrapped himself in heavy black-gold armor, so I have never seen His true face, and I don't know what the characteristics of the Shadow Demon are.

I don't even know how many years this Black Tide Lord has lived. I only know that there is only one evaluation of Him in the message passed down by the previous Demon King.

Trust the Lord of the Dark Tide, He is your most trustworthy backer."

Chapter 46 This is actually currency

"Okay... then remember these first."

After writing down the information Margaret had told him, Irons put away his little notebook and looked at the different monsters coming and going around the streets, and suddenly he felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

"The Demon King's Castle is not easy. It can accommodate so many monsters with different origins, lifespans, body shapes, and even habits, and not cause any major chaos...

Margaret, do you believe that if humans found a group of people who were the same as them but only had a different skin color, they would fight each other over the skin color. "

Margaret answered without hesitation: "Yes, I believe they would be like this. Even if there was no skin color, they would still fight each other. It is enough just because they live in different places."

"Woo... Hehe, you are right."

Irons had to admit that what Margaret said was absolutely correct. Indeed, there was no need for different races; different customs were enough.

From this perspective, it seems reasonable to call the Demon King's Castle an inclusive and open utopia, as it allows so many monsters of different races and customs to live in harmony.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration. On the surface, the Demon King's Castle does seem to be more harmonious, but potential conflicts cannot exist without them.

While strolling through the streets of the Demon King's Castle, Ains was thinking about what methods he could use to make the Demon King's Castle better.

Um... ahem! Don't get me wrong! This is just an occupational disease, not because he wants to help Margaret manage the Demon King's Castle! Even if he and Margaret really become husband and wife, he will firmly stick to his goal of becoming a restaurant owner!

When he thought of the restaurant, Irons suddenly felt a little hungry, and it happened that a restaurant was opening on one side of the street.

This immediately aroused Ains' interest. He had been in the Demon Realm for such a long time, and had always been eating the delicacies from the human world prepared by Margaret for him. He had never experienced the local delicacies of the Demon Realm.

No matter what we say today, we must understand what the next authentic demon eats.

"Margaret, let's go to that restaurant for a meal." Irons suggested, pointing to the restaurant on the roadside.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Margaret's expression immediately became a little embarrassed. She smiled awkwardly and said to Ains: "Um... Ains, if you feel hungry, I can take you back to the Demon King's Castle and make you something to eat~"

"But what you cooked for me were all delicacies from the human world. I want to know what the demons usually eat. Don't worry, although I am a glutton, I can tolerate bad food."

Having said that, Irons pulled Margaret towards a roadside restaurant, but the devil queen looked extremely embarrassed at this moment.

She really didn't want Ains to try these "delicacies" from the Demon Realm, because by the standards of the human world, they were no longer just a matter of whether they tasted bad or not...

"Boss, what food do you sell here?"

Ains approached the bar counter of the restaurant and asked the pig-headed demon guarding the bar counter. The pig-headed demon boss glanced at Ains, snorted, and asked: "Hehe~ You, a vampire, come here to eat? Aren't you here to make fun of me?"
