The Purgatory Abyss.
Grand Duke Gorius of the pit fiends lazily reclined on his throne, surveying the battlefield in the distance.
Compared to the intense battles of the past, the current Bloody Battlefield was terrifyingly calm. The waves of battle could only be seen from far away. After the demons had shrunk their defences, most of the devils were in a state of idleness, growing more and more anxious by the day.
As one of the twelve most trusted Grand Dukes of Demon King Barmetos, Gorius was well aware that this wasn't a good thing. Once the devils were idle, it was easy for them to cause trouble. Once they did, there would be those bold enough to challenge their position as Grand Duke.
Thus, the urgent matter was to find something for these fellows to do.
However, while His Majesty the Demon King had come to an agreement with the human king, Tang En, and had even decided to take the initiative to probe the demons' plans, the Demon King still hadn't given any specific orders.
As a result, all the devils were idling around their lairs. Some of the more bored ones were already fighting each other to pass the time.
Although the best entertainment for the demons was the crystallization of human memories, the crystallization of human memories was an expensive item here. It was very difficult to get one. After all, there was no currency here. Everything depended on strength. Only by making a great enough contribution would their leader be able to reward them with a crystallization of memories. Otherwise, they would have to try their luck and be summoned to Prandal by humans. After that, they would have to trade for a soul. After that, they would be able to extract the crystallization of memories.
A memory crystal that was exciting enough could be used repeatedly, and could be treated as a family heirloom. Exchanging memory crystals was one of the most popular entertainment among devils.
By exchanging memory crystals, they could experience all kinds of life without spending too much effort. It was very cost-effective.
Now, Gorius was playing with a memory crystal in his hand. He was so bored that he wanted to pass the time.
"Hey! Gorius! Tang En is here again! He's invited us to a reading trial. Are you interested? "
Grand Duchess Sylphlia suddenly appeared in front of Gorius, swaying her enchanting body as she looked at him with a smile.
"Reading trial?"
Gorius was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"Probably trying to read the storybooks he brought …"
Sylphlia wasn't too sure either. If she understood it literally, that should be the case.
"Not interested."
Golius pursed his lips. Instead of reading a storybook, he might as well enter the memory crystal and relax.
The soul could directly enter the memory crystal and experience the life of the owner of the memory crystal. Moreover, it could indulge in the memory and do whatever it wanted. In fact, it would only take an instant. Since that was the case, why did it have to trouble its eyes to read the story book?
"It's not like I haven't read human storybooks before. Aren't they all about high-sounding knights and heroes? This kind of protagonist is too rigid, too conventional, too boring. "
Salatimore, who had been lying on the ground in boredom, suddenly perked up and hurriedly said, "Sir, don't be in a hurry to refuse! Actually, this is a misunderstanding! "
After staying in the Purgatory Abyss for a few days, Salatimore found himself a little unaccustomed to life here. Compared to Ellington, this place was boring to the extreme!
And they hadn't even fought with the demons, so Salatimore didn't even have the chance to go back and report. If Gorius didn't move, he couldn't move either. It was too boring!
Gorius looked at him with burning eyes, "Misunderstanding?"
"Yes!"
Salatimore nodded, "Although the literary works of the human countries in the past were in that style, the situation has changed too much since Tang En became the uncrowned king of the humans! Especially the novels and comics published by Ellington Publishing. Go and take a look. I think you might find a surprise. "
Salatimore said with a little regret, "It's a pity that there's no way to see the magic projection here. Otherwise, just those programs alone would be enough to kill a lot of time."
"Novels? Comics? Magic projection? "
Gorius nodded, "Is it the entertainment that Tang En mentioned last time? Is it that interesting? "
"Of course, under the inspiration of Tang En, novels, comics, animations, and TV series are all inclusive. There are all kinds of genres!"
Salatimore said with assurance, "Even many human chambers of commerce have changed careers and started to specialize in the creation of such cultural works. After humans are full and warm, such products suddenly have a market."
"Is that so?"
Gorius said lightly, "You said it's all inclusive and has all kinds of genres? Then I want a novel with us demons as the main characters. Do you have it? "
Salatimore was startled. The authors of novels were all humans, and of course, the main characters of the novels they created were also humans. A novel with demons as the main characters … was really rare.
"Should … have it."
Salatimore was not sure, but according to how black-bellied Tang En was, even if there wasn't one originally, he could make one now.
Gorius was interested. "Then let's go and take a look."
So they got up again and went to a small hill near the demon king's throne. It was a place specially reserved for Tang En, and then they saw Tang En standing there.
Before they could speak, Tang En said directly, "Shrink a little. It's too troublesome to cast transformation on these things. Shrink yourselves and get used to it."
Gorius paused. No human had ever dared to talk to them like that.
"No human has ever dared to talk to us like that!"
It was the Grand Duke of the Sawblade Demons again.
Tang En glanced at it indifferently. "Now there is … Oh, the guy who always likes to find trouble and get slapped in the face by me. What's your name?"
The Grand Duke of the Sawblade Demons was furious. "You stupid human don't even know my name. Listen carefully, my name is Kukawosof-"
As soon as Kukavosov's voice trailed off, a smile appeared on Tang En's face. "Thank you, I've received your real name … What do you think I should do with this name?"
Golius was speechless.
Sylphlia was speechless.
Kukavosov: "…"
Demons, elemental creatures, and even Shen Qi's real name all had similar effects. They could be influenced by contracts or summoning spells. In history, there had been sorcerers who used tricks to obtain the real names of demons. Then, they used the real names of demons and enslaved them with enslavement spells or tools to do their bidding.
Although it was rare, it was a feasible method.
In particular, Tang En was such a powerful Legendary powerhouse. If he really summoned it in Prandal and took the opportunity to enslave it …
The most annoying thing was that he had signed a contract with the Demon King, so he couldn't attack him.
"I'm sorry, great human king. I was wrong."
Kukavosov decisively admitted defeat.
Tang En: "…"
I don't feel any sense of accomplishment when you admit defeat so quickly!
"Cut the crap. Let's have a trial reading session. What about the stuff?"
Golius didn't want to waste time and went straight to the point.
Tang En stood at the side with his arms crossed and a smile on his face. "It's all here. There's a serial number on it. You can choose whatever you want and start reading from the beginning."
Thus, a group of grand dukes immediately began the trial reading. Demon King Barmetos, on the other hand, used the excuse that he wasn't interested and didn't come.
"… Good! Good! Good! "
Not long after they started reading, an excited roar suddenly sounded from the hill. "It's written so well! We should kill these snobbish bastards — no, the bastards who look down on the little demons! "
It was Golius.
Tang En was stunned. They were already so excited when they just started reading? There was no one else who could be more immersive!
What Tang En did not know was that although Gorius was now a high and mighty Archduke, he had also grown from a lowly little devil. Tang En had only seen his glorious side, and the devils under him had only seen his powerful strength. However, only Gorius himself knew how great of a setback and pain he had encountered along the way, and how many times he had been on the brink of death.
In the novel, the little devil protagonist was betrayed from the very beginning. In a situation where he was almost certain to die, he was lucky enough to survive. He even obtained the inheritance of a fallen devil duke, and then directly killed the guy who betrayed him. This novel was simply a copy of him!
If he hadn't obtained that unexpected inheritance, Golius wouldn't have had the chance to grow to this point.
Golius stared at the book in his hand almost without blinking. He was so excited that his face and ears were red (although they were red to begin with). He carefully controlled the power in his body, afraid that he would accidentally burn the book.
Too exciting!
He had to continue reading!
"… Wow! It can't be? You can play like this!? "
On the other side, Sylphlia was holding another comic book as she cried out in surprise. It was clear that the "knowledge" in the book had opened her eyes. The skills of a great teacher from a certain country on Earth had completely convinced the Prandal lustful demon leader.
Seeing that the grand dukes were intoxicated by the impact of this new culture, Tang En struck while the iron was hot and said, "The authors of these works are living very poor lives. If you want their works to continue, please pay to support the legal reading. Whether it's spending money to buy these books or supporting the authors, it's all good intentions!"
"Reward! You have to reward! These Magic Crystals will all be given to the author … Eh, Danterian Dunn? Un! It's her! "
"I also want to reward her! The Black Dragon Master Ding Ding is the true master of the art of lust! I want to give my collection to him! From today onwards, he will be my teacher! "
Tang En revealed a bright smile. Even if it was a demon, he still had to support the legal reading.
"Of course there's no problem, but I have a small request …"
