Even though Livi made the magic costume for her herself, she just had no choice.
Now that Livi has a choice, Mava feels that her position in Livi's heart must have plummeted.
Livi didn't think too much about it. After all, these demons were just divided into useful and useless to her. Putting the right people in the right positions to do the right things was what she had to do now.
Dullahan is more suitable to work with than Marva at this moment, that's all.
But Mawa obviously had other ideas. If she could become stronger...
Of course, this thought was not tainted by any impurities. He might have been influenced by the Mark of Submission, or he might have really been attracted by this seemingly fragile loli succubus during the time he followed Livi.
Now Mawa just wants to be able to help, but she will gradually be neglected until the day when she is no longer needed. She cannot accept this in any way.
If only I could become stronger...
...Sometimes, the opportunity for change only requires a moment of thought. The seeds have been planted, waiting to blossom and bear fruit.
Livi and Dullahan jumped down the tunnel from the crack. As they had initially thought, this was not the entrance to the tunnel, but only half of it.
So, it is impossible to tell the front and back of the tunnel, but of course, this is not a big deal.
"...Generally speaking, going down means going forward"
This kind of tunnel must have been dug from top to bottom, so the deeper it goes, the deeper it will be. After confirming this, the rest of the things will be easy.
After establishing the direction, Livi went deeper underground. She thought the tunnel would be quite deep, but she didn't expect that it would only take about ten minutes to reach the end.
There was nothing special at the end, just a huge deep pit.
"…Hey, they dug a tunnel on purpose, but they didn't do it just to bury a pit? What's the purpose of this?"
Livi didn't expect it to be like this, but she still jumped into the pit as soon as possible to make sure what the big deal was.
Dullahan naturally followed him down the pit, and after the two of them walked around the bottom of the pit, Livi suddenly realized something.
"Eh?"
She dug the soil with her toes and directly turned out a white skull.
After all, it was impossible for Livi and Dullahan to be scared by a mere skull. The moment Livi saw the skull, she recognized it immediately.
“Hey, is this a human skull?”
“…Yes.”
Monsters and humans have very different physiological structures, so it is impossible to make a mistake. Livi was sure at a glance that the bones in front of her were human.
But here comes the problem...
“…Why are there human skulls here?”
Chapter 91 Return with a Full Load
Of course, Livi and Dullahan couldn't make a mistake; this was definitely a human skull.
After identifying the skull, Livi immediately began searching around in the pit.
As expected, a pile of white bones were dug out from under the pit, densely packed together, which means...
...Is this an underground mass grave?
Judging from the texture of these bones, they are quite old. Unfortunately, Livi and Dullahan are not professionals and cannot calculate the age from these bones.
If Star were here, she should be able to discern some useful information from these bones.
Anyway, regardless of all these, the most crucial point for Livi is that human skeletons actually appeared in this place. This is the eastern part of the Demon Realm. Not to mention humans, even the demons rarely come here.
What's more important...
"...Humans should have never actively logged into the Demon Realm, right?"
In this regard, at least in the history that Livi knows, humans have indeed never taken the initiative to set foot in the Demon Realm.
Before the appearance of the demons, the Demon Realm was a desolate and remote continent. The humans who occupied the main continent naturally looked down on such a ghost place. After all, the main continent had not yet been unified at that time, and everyone was busy fighting for the fertile land under their feet, so how could they have the extra energy to go to a remote place like the Demon Realm.
It was even more so after the appearance of the demons. According to the Empire's propaganda, the Demon Realm was a Jedi that was "completely unsuitable for any living creature to live in."
In reality, it is just as what the Empire said, the Demon Realm is a place of "talented people and beautiful scenery". Apart from the demons and monsters, there should be no other creatures that can survive in such a place.
Livi had wondered before why the Empire didn't take the initiative to attack after repelling the demons. Later, based on the clues and intelligence currently collected, she thought that the demons were probably tools deliberately raised by the Empire to strengthen its rule.
In this case, it is possible that the Empire did not fail to send people, but had secretly arranged for people to log into the Demon Realm.
At least that Demon King's Castle should have some human touch to it.
And now, unexpectedly, similar traces of human existence have been found in the Eastern Territory.
Livi continued to search in the pit, and sure enough, she dug up a lot of bones. Most of them were not complete. However, among the pile of bones, she found some unusual parts.
"Ok?"
Livi rummaged through a pile of bones and found a rib that looked obviously different from a human rib. It was completely alienated and distorted, as if many bone spurs had grown on a normal rib.
"Is this bone hyperplasia? That's not right..."
In addition to this structure, Livi also found some bones that were obviously completely different from human bones. These bones seemed to belong to monsters.
However, between the skeletons of humans and monsters, Livi actually found many products "in between the two".
"Hey, what's going on?"
It is neither a human nor a monster, but half human and half monster. It seems that the half body of a human and the characteristics of a monster are twisted together to form an extremely strange structure.
Livi thought seriously in her mind. For example, if Mava's original form was a two-headed ogre and she died and left behind skeletons, the structure would probably be similar to that of human skeletons. After all, an ogre is also in human form.
However, there are still many demons and monsters in the Demon Realm that look strange in shape. Some of them are human-shaped, while others are completely alien and non-human.
And what Livi found in the pit gave her some pretty bad ideas.
...For example
...Where on earth did the demons come from?
According to current records, the demons are mysterious creatures that suddenly appeared in the Demon Realm thousands of years ago, similar to the monsters recorded in legends.
Although most of the demons do not seem to belong to the same species, we can surprisingly find some commonalities among them. By the way, many of the demons do not have reproductive isolation.
So even if it sounds ridiculous, that is to say...
…The demons may look all kinds of strange, but they are most likely the same species.
Livi had always understood this strange ecology as magical creatures from another world. After all, there were already birds that could breathe fire and rabbits that could eat people, so what was wrong with that?
"No, there are too few useful clues..."
Livi stood up and brushed off the dust on her hands. After all, there was only a pit of earth that had been hidden for who knows how many years, and a pile of bones that had completely rotted away, leaving only the skeletons. It was a pipe dream to expect to dig out something useful from the scene.
For ordinary people, this is probably beyond their control, but luckily, we have a professional here.
As a lich, Star happens to be good at making corpses speak.
Take some back and ask Star to check it out later.
Thinking of this, Livy cleaned up, picked up some bones that looked relatively well preserved, and returned along the same route with Dullahan.
Before leaving, Livi looked back at the pit deep underground.
Such a pit was dug deliberately to bury the bones here, obviously not wanting them to be found. What kind of secrets are buried here?
I always feel that the demons have too many secrets, and these secrets...are gradually revealing some clues as the investigation continues.
After leaving the tunnel, Mawa and the others outside had almost cleaned up the scene.
The biggest harvest this time was six pearls that were more than one meter tall, completely black, and had a jade-like texture.
Naturally, these pearls were taken out from the body of the giant rock crab. They were the essence of the magic power accumulated over the years and condensed in its body. They could definitely be said to be the top-grade magic material.
A magic crystal of this size can only be taken out from the body of a giant rock crab that can carry a mountain on its back.
And it wasn't just one, but six, which made Livi's hunting trip a complete success.
"Okay, with these and what we collected before, it should be enough. Let's take those direclaw wolves with us. Let's go. This trip is really rewarding~"
Originally, Livi thought it would take some more trouble, but she didn't expect the giant rock crab to provide assists so timely. With this wave of fat, Livi was able to accumulate enough indicators in advance.
What a pity, even in the Eastern Territory, it takes hundreds of years to raise a monster of this level. It is definitely impossible to raise a second one in a short period of time.
"Okay, let's pack up and go back~"
——————————————————————————————————————
Today's fourth update~
Four more votes~
Chapter 92: Enfeoffment of the Four Heavenly Kings
Although there were some minor incidents during the process, Livi successfully completed the goal of this expedition.
Not only that, it can even be said that there are unexpected gains, but so far, Livi is still a little unsure about what the gains will be.
She brought back the skeletons dug out from the underground pit in the East Territory and planned to ask Star to identify them. After all, as a lich, she was very good at making corpses speak.
In addition, the biggest harvest was naturally the batch of direclaw wolves.
They were all knocked down by Livi's charm magic and are now mostly awake.
Because of the effects of charm and brainwashing magic, these direwolves obey Livi's orders.
This was also the first time that Livi tried charm and brainwashing magic. After all, there was no need for the mark of surrender for monsters, and this first attempt at least had a good result.
This group of Deinonychus are now lying quietly on the ground, as docile as dogs, wagging their tails quietly.
Even when the goblin mothers came up and pulled their tails out of curiosity, they dared not resist and let the goblin mothers poke and pinch them with laughter.
"…Your Highness, are you really planning to have the goblins ride on these direclaw wolves to form a cavalry team?"
At this point, Livi had actually made up her mind, but Dullahan still wanted to make one last effort. After all, she was the one who would train these goblin girls.
"...Yes, is there any problem? It is true that these dire claw wolves are controlled by my charm magic, so let's keep them first. When the second generation is raised, we can start training them from a young age~"
"..."
So you are still thinking about this?
At this point, it proved that Livi was determined to train her goblin cavalry, and Dullahan could only sigh helplessly.
"Fine……"
As for the equipment issue... Since the Direclaw Wolf's own load-bearing capacity is quite limited, after riding on the Goblin Mother, it's basically done.
Therefore, forget about reloading the equipment, unless you can add lightweight magic to the equipment to significantly reduce the weight of the equipment itself without destroying its sturdiness and defense.
If this is done, the cost will be unbearable. This kind of heavy armor with lightweight enchantments is a high-end product even in the Empire. Only a small non-commissioned officer above the centurion level is qualified to equip it.
The equipment used to equip the goblins is definitely not that luxurious for now, so these goblins can only make do with leather armor made from monster skins.
As for weapons and equipment, thanks to the annihilation of Dullahan's own cavalry team, Livi was provided with a batch of qualified standard equipment, but Dullahan was quite upset about this.
The cavalry team that I raised with great effort is now completely wiped out, and not only has it been completely wiped out, but you have also taken away its equipment. Is this fair?
Of course, she had no one to talk to here, so she could only accept it.
Anyway, these standard equipment were originally looted by her from the Human Empire. After collecting them, she recast them with the power of the demons, so in essence, these things still belong to the Empire.
After all, Livi is a former hero and a general of the empire. So, after this thing goes around, it might end up being Livi's.
"Right, what's 'yours' and 'mine'? Now they're all 'ours'~"
"..."
Faced with Livy's familiar teasing, Dullahan had absolute reason to believe that Livy did it on purpose.
Again, the more you resist, the more excited she becomes...
"Okay, let's not talk about this..."
It took nearly half a month to return to the Demon King's Castle in the North. During this time, many demons came to surrender and submit according to the notice issued by Livi before.
Of course, some of them have ulterior motives and are only pretending to submit, but are actually looking for opportunities to cause trouble in secret.
