In the anime, I become stronger by eating myself

"Is it related to a small place like ours? Tell me about it."

"It is said that the Demon King's Army officer had been working as a maid here at Axel. Is he..."

"What's wrong? What are you talking about?"

"I'm going to say it soon, let's go!"

Adventurer A hurriedly pulled Adventurer B away.

It shows a kind of panic that comes from being caught speaking ill of someone behind their back.

"Hahaha, these two guys are so lame!"

Aqua was never reluctant to laugh at others, and at the same time she looked around to see who had come, scaring the two men so much that they couldn't finish their words.

“Crack!”

As Aqua's eyes swept over, the originally lively guild suddenly became silent, and then there was the sound of tables and chairs being pushed.

Everyone turned their backs to Aqua.

From the moment Aqua entered the door, many people noticed her.

The adventurer who was originally chatting with his companions about the Demon King's Army cadres, noticed the others gesticulating and realized that Aqua was nearby.

In this situation, even Aqua noticed something was wrong...

Axel was, after all, a novice village, a small place so remote that the Demon King's army didn't bother to capture it.

In a place like this, there is a family with a maid... Aqua thought of Celestina who left without saying goodbye some time ago.

Take into account the reactions of those around you.

I'm sweating profusely!

Aqua wasn't worried about being caught or anything.

But...what if she is labeled as the devil's accomplice, how can she live a high-quality life?

Thinking of this, Aqua didn't care about shopping anymore and ran towards the base.

Then there was Aqua's hasty search for Luo Zhen, and now...

"Why don't we run away, flee the country overnight? If the princess gets caught, it will definitely implicate us, and we might even be arrested and put in jail!"

"Damn Demon King's Army, my guess was right, that woman is not a good person, she doesn't look like a maid at all!"

After telling her what she had seen and heard and her guesses, Aqua began to complain to Celestina and urged Luo Zhen to get married as soon as possible.

It makes sense, but the problem is...

"I know about this. Don't be too nervous, Aqua. They are just rumors."

"Hey, you know, that's not right. You mean, the princess wasn't actually kidnapped?"

"No, she was kidnapped..."

Luo Zhen turned away, avoiding Aqua's hopeful gaze.

"So what you mean is that Serena didn't do this, and she's not a cadre of the Demon King's Army. Is it that the people here in Axel misunderstood?"

"Emm, it's definitely not her, because..."

"Phew, I'm scared to death. I told you that even though the maid is arrogant, has a bad temper, and is a naturally evil pagan, she shouldn't be a cadre of the Demon King's army."

"Because I did it!"

"Eh?"

"Can you tell me again, who did this?"

Luo Zhen turned his gaze back and looked directly at Aqua, whose CPU was already overloaded. He suppressed his smile and continued:

"I was the one who kidnapped the princess. By the way, Serena's real name is Celestina, and she is indeed a cadre of the Demon King's Army."

"Ah, ah?!"

This time Aqua heard it clearly, but she wished she hadn't heard it clearly.

The water goddess retreated in disbelief until she reached the door, then turned around and ran downstairs.

“Megumin! Darkness! Help! There’s a traitor among us!”

two hours later.......

Luo Zhen took a lot of effort to explain everything to the three women who surrounded him.

He is not a spy of the Demon King's army, he is the new Demon King!

"Isn't that even worse!" Aqua complained accurately.

"The Demon King sounds so cool, let me be the Demon King!" Huihui chose to ask Luo Zhen for the position of the Demon King.

“Hehe, the evil demon king and the unyielding female knight.” Darkness was fantasizing.

Axel is a rural area, and all kinds of news, rumors, hot topics, etc. are one version behind the royal capital.

The abduction of princesses is nothing new, nor is it a current hot topic, because there seem to be too many abducted princesses.

At present, each kingdom has to pay attention.

It was a rumor that quietly appeared among the top brass, as well as a letter specially left by the Demon King's army.

To sum up.

Under the Demon King's City, there is a dungeon that was once sealed by the gods.

Power, wealth, authority, even immortality and ruling the world, as long as you can successfully pass through this dungeon, you can realize any wish.

The Demon King's army has been doing this recently, and with their efforts, the dungeon has been restarted.

However, after the dungeon was activated, it was discovered that in many places, only humans were qualified to pass.

There are humans in the Demon King's army, but their number is too small and their advancement speed is touching.

As a result, the heirs, princes and princesses of several kingdoms were abducted by the Demon King's army, and they threatened each kingdom to send people to cooperate, explore the dungeon, and report the results.

It sounds ridiculous and like a trap.

If this is false, it may lead to the killing of a large number of adventurers who were forced to go there. After all, that is the Demon King's Castle and the territory of the Demon King's army.

If this is true, then things will be even worse. If the Demon King's army really succeeds, then won't the world be ruled by monsters?

Objectively speaking, ignoring it is the best choice. As the saying goes, there is no family affection in front of the royal family. For the development of the country, even princes and princesses will sometimes be abandoned.

But the problem is...

Almost all the princes and princesses were abducted!

Luo Zhen will personally handle the difficult ones, while the easy ones will be handed over to his Demon King Army cadres.

Don’t talk about martial ethics!

If we ignore this, regardless of whether we are willing to do so or not, we will end up without any descendants.

Even if I create a small account, who knows if the Demon King's army will come again.

The most important thing is, since they can kidnap people openly, do they also have the ability to make them disappear...

This was the first time that the human kingdom realized how powerful the Demon King's army was.

There is absolutely no choice!

"Let's assume that what the Demon King's army said is true. We have no choice but to cooperate. However, we must take additional actions. Humanity must unite."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

In an unknown place, kings of several countries reached a consensus.

In the Adventurer's Association, all commissions regarding conquering monsters were cancelled, although they were already decreasing. Instead, commissions to go to the Demon King's Castle and explore the dungeons were added.

As long as you are willing to go and explore the dungeon, you will get a high bounty...

Different World Trio: 111 Labyrinth City

"What kind of bullshit dungeon is this? You want me to go to the Demon King's Castle? Isn't this asking us to die? No, no, no!"

"What's going on? What about other types of commissioned tasks? Why is there only this one, with no limit on the number of times and the number of people?"

"Are these noble lords crazy? They want to force us in this way?"

"Don't even think about it. At most, I can just stop and rest for a few days. I don't believe that I can cancel other commissions permanently."

The overly outrageous task led to constant negative comments from various places for a while.

The reputation of the Demon King's army has always been bad, and many adventurers don't mind, and are even willing to take on missions to deal with the Demon King's army, and can go directly to the Demon King's castle or something...

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

Of course, money can move people’s hearts.

The high commission bounty immediately attracted many people to set out on the journey to the Demon King's Castle.

Most people choose to wait and see, because when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!

The result... after waiting and waiting, the commission remained the same, but the reward for the commission had dropped a lot.

What was originally a generous level is now only considered above the baseline, which is a good level.

Even the subsequent ones were cut down, from being given as soon as you entered a dungeon to being given only after you explored a certain place.

As soon as this incident happened, it caused an uproar.

The protests and voices of pessimism grew louder, but the number of people choosing to accept commissions grew explosively.

Being an adventurer has never been a prestigious profession.

Freedom, respect, the ability to do whatever you want and not do what you don’t want to do, these are the most attractive things about being an adventurer.

But that is something that only a very small number of adventurers who are strong enough can do.

Most adventurers live a life without any savings, with no security in sight and they strive to live happily day by day.

To live a life like this, it is absolutely impossible to do without money.

When there are no other commissions and the only commission has experienced a big price drop, doubts and dissatisfaction are no longer important.

Just like that, it took just over a month.

The former Demon King's Castle, now the maze city, has become the most lively place in the world!

......

The Demon King's Castle became a maze city, and the old Demon King's original castle was also razed to the ground, but not completely. Luo Zhen deliberately retained a part of it as his new residence.

"Poke, poke~"

"So, this is your purpose of becoming a demon king. I don't understand. What is your purpose?"

In the castle, Aqua stared at the people coming and going below, poked Luo Zhen next to her, and asked in confusion.

Luo Zhen moved here, and the original team was naturally indispensable. Aqua lived a more comfortable life, and Huihui's hobby became to cast explosion magic in the dungeon that she had worked so hard to build.

It was a very frustrating behavior, but fortunately the technical support provided by Banier was indeed reliable.

With Luo Zhen's continuous supply of magic power, the dungeon gradually developed the ability to repair itself.

With the joint efforts of several cadres and all the Demon King's troops, the dungeon was dug into hundreds of layers and a depth of one thousand meters.

As for the horizontal area?

The first floor is half the size of the maze city, and the last floor is even as big as a small country.

It took less than a month to complete the project, but it created such a magnificent wonder, and Luo Zhen didn't even get involved to help.

The infrastructure of the Demon King's army is so horrific. Well, Wolbach's selfless contribution is also crucial.

"Regarding this, just assume that I love peace and want to create a world where humans and monsters can coexist peacefully."

Looking down at the scene below, Luo Zhen felt somewhat happy.
