The Demon King sighed. However, this was within his expectations. What he did not expect was that she only did this now. After all, her subordinate, Derry, was still alive. He was hiding among the humans and knew many things.
Perhaps he should secretly get rid of Derry?
Derry was indeed an unstable factor. He would definitely try his best to let the Queen Mother break free from the Demon King's control.
However, forget it. The Demon King did not need to do that. After all, he would be able to realize his plan very soon.
At this moment, he thought of a certain Saintess.
"You … You … What are you talking about? I, I don't know at all. "
The Queen Mother panicked and quibbled.
"I won't blame you. Instead, I want you to do your best to investigate. When the time comes, give me a detailed report."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother turned her head suspiciously and asked tentatively, "Aren't you afraid that I'll find her?"
The Demon King's face darkened.
"If you find her, then I'll agree to one of your requests unconditionally."
"What? Anything? "
"Yes."
"Okay! Don't forget what you said! "
With that, the Queen Mother left the room. The strange thing was that with every step she took, her height would increase a little. When she left the room, she had already returned to her original appearance.
Fu Yin was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.
"So why did you come to me?"
The Demon King asked indifferently.
"Eh?! Ah! That, I want to find the Tree of Life … "
Fu Yin told him her thoughts. Of course, in order to get him to agree, she made up a lot of things, such as going out to survey the landscape, investigating the ore veins, the Demon King needing an expedition team to investigate, and so on. After hearing this, the Demon King thought for a while and finally nodded.
"Alright then. I'll send an elite team to help you find the Tree of Life. Also, bring this. Otherwise, you won't be able to see it for the rest of your life, even if it's right in front of you."
With that, the Demon King placed a black bracelet on the table …
Thus, on the third day in Yellow Sand City, after the team reorganized and rested, Fu Yin led a team of fifty people out of Yellow Sand City and set off toward the Elemental Demon King's domain. According to the reports from the frontlines, the Beastman Alliance had already taken down East Border City. However, as the Beastman King's army retreated, they did not dare to continue attacking.
The Demon King was not very interested in the Beastmen's territory. He ordered Lie Arc to guard the city and then left Yellow Sand City, taking some of the local Beastmen with him.
However, he did not return to the Ufa Great Forest. Instead, he went directly to the Imperial City of Getan.
"Welcome back, my beloved Lord. You seem to have brought back something interesting."
As soon as they entered the city gate, a huge dragon appeared in front of them.
"Wah! This! Could this be? Dragon? "
Prince Zhi Ge, who was standing behind the Demon King, was shocked. He had only read about dragons in books, but had never seen one before. What he saw with his own eyes today was truly beyond his imagination.
"Thank you for your hard work, Totnes. You've done well."
The Demon King reached out and touched the huge dragon's nose. Suddenly, the huge dragon turned into a white light and turned into a human figure. She bent down and lifted her skirt, as elegant as a noble.
"No, it's my honor to serve Master. I'm not like some guy who only knows how to eat. I'm a practical person."
After saying that, she raised her head and the corners of her mouth curled up. Just as the dwarves were surprised that a dragon turned into a human, the Queen Mother appeared behind the Demon King and cursed.
"Who are you talking about? Damn old woman! "
"Eh? You're here? Sorry, but I didn't say it was you. Hehe ~ "
Totnes covered her mouth and laughed coldly.
"Huh? You saw it too. This damn old thing, I'll eat her one day! "
The Queen Mother looked at the Demon King and said.
"Oh my! That's so scary. Master, she's going to be late. What do you think? "
Totnes leaned toward the Demon King and pretended to be afraid.
The Demon King sighed.
"I don't have time to play around with you."
After saying that, he quickly left with the dwarves, leaving the two to bicker.
These two were indeed troublesome. The Demon King did not want to take sides. There was no benefit in helping either side. He could only see if they could turn enemies into friends.
After the Demon King attacked Getan City, he did not develop it. Instead, he sent the army and the Holy White Dragon Totnes to guard the city. This was because he found the knowledge buried in Getan City that he could not use for the time being. The craftsmen of the Ufa Great Forest, which were the slaves bought from the demons, did not have the relevant knowledge and equipment to produce those magical weapons. There was no way to repair the city, so the Demon King had to put it aside for the time being.
That was until he found the dwarves. They were experts in this field.
"Wow!! What a beautiful city. I can imagine how magnificent it was when it was in good condition. The people who lived here must be very happy, "the dwarf said with a pair of glasses. The dwarf wearing glasses exclaimed. This fair-skinned, bookish young dwarf was the prince of the dwarves, who played the song.
Although he was a prince, he was different from Fu Yin in that he liked magic and technology very much.
"Then is there a way to restore it?"
A black cloak appeared behind him. The Demon King had also arrived at the city. They stood at the top of the mountain, which was also the palace. From here, they could see the panoramic view of the entire city. Looking at the fields and the picturesque houses, as well as the wind blowing in their faces, they couldn't help but feel admiration for the builder of this city.
"Yes, but it is impossible to completely restore it. After all, we don't have the blueprints of this city. Maybe some dwarf-style buildings will appear."
"It doesn't matter. Maybe you can bring me more surprises. So, how long will it take?"
The Demon King asked.
Xi Ge pushed up his glasses and raised his right eyebrow. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, if we include the construction of the palace, with our manpower, it will take at least ten years to completely restore it."
"Ten years? No, that's too long. I need it to be completed in two years. Just tell me how much manpower you need. "
The Demon King frowned and said loudly.
Xi Ge pushed up his glasses with a bitter smile. Of course, he did not dare to disobey the other party.
"This … uh, if there are ten thousand workers, it is probably possible. But after all, there are too few high-end dwarven craftsmen. It is useless to invest more manpower in some restoration projects. I hope you understand."
"Well, I know, but at least fix this thing first."
The Demon King pointed to the statue in the palace.
Xi Ge turned around and looked at the huge statue with his head raised. His glasses appeared with the light of magic. He observed for a while, and suddenly his face became serious.
"This! This is not a statue! It is, it is an amazing weapon! If my guess is correct, this can directly destroy a city tens of thousands of kilometers away!! "
He was shocked.
He did not expect that the humans had mastered such terrifying magic technology.
The Demon King smiled and said, "Yes, that is the case. So, what is your answer?"
Hearing this, Xi Ge's face stiffened.
This would become a huge killing machine, and fixing it would probably kill a lot of people.
But …
He looked at the Demon King's face. Those unfathomable black eyes seemed to see through his heart. All of this seemed to be testing him.
"I, I will do my best …"
Xi Ge lowered his head and said.
