I've made all sorts of guesses about what it would be like to meet the ruler of the Sea City, but I dare say that even if I had known that she was a celebrity mermaid, I never expected her to appear in such a big tank.

The initial consternation lasted for a moment, and when I was back to normal, I closed the door behind me with my backhand, and it was my first contact with the lord of one of the five major forces...... No, the lord of the Sea Capital is Saita Hikatsu, and this mermaid is only an archon, even if this archon is the real one in charge of the entire force.

I have to admit that the complicated political situation in the city of the sea has caused me to fall into a brief chaos, but it's not a good thing to stand stupidly all the time, so let's just say hello first, right?

"Yoh." Raising his right hand, he greeted the mermaid consul very casually, just like the other party just declared, among the many lords of the other world, I am currently the candidate of the demon king, and I should be on an equal footing anyway.

"Find a seat you like, you're here today to ask about the Demon King Trial?" The tail of the fishtail of the lower half of her body soaked in the tank swayed twice, and the mermaid archon said what I was here for, but she then muttered to herself, "It seems that the spell of charm is not working for you, so let's get straight to the point."

"It's that simple? I thought that before we got into the topic, we would do a tai chi, and you would talk to me out of tune, and then finally assign me some small tasks, and then issue the real trial tasks after I had completed the report." Scratching his cheeks, I didn't mind too much about the mermaid archon's remarks that using the charm technique was ineffective, after all, it was probably part of the trial.

By the way, although the actual combat skills are not high, it relies on a large number of passive abilities, such as HP high-speed recovery, regularization, undead body under conditions, negative status immunity, basic attacks with true damage effects, and zero chanting and no consumption of spellcasting...... and so on. Even if I do fight with someone, I am confident that I can win in the end.

Of course, I'm afraid the process will be quite ugly.

"So you like the format of this mission?" The confusion I raised seemed to come as a surprise to the Mermaid Archon: "I thought you hated that kind of one-by-one quest, so I didn't think there that much at first, but now it seems like a bad decision to get straight to the point."

"No, that's not what I meant, and I'd welcome a straightforward conversation between the two sides. It was just a matter of indescribable ambivalence." I sat down in a random chair and drew a circle in mid-air with my index finger, though it didn't make the slightest sense.

"Humans are really complicated, and even after all these years, I still haven't been able to understand your psyche." Shaking her head, the mermaid archon looks like a very intellectual beauty, but from this sentence, it reveals the truth that she is at least over 100 years old.

I remember that the Admiral of the Headquarters also said that the position of consul of the Sea Capital has not been moved since it was the turn of the current one, and the history of the Sea City has been counted. Whether the person concerned intentionally or unintentionally, it is obvious that this is another habitual offender who relies on appearances to deceive other people's feelings.

"Is this because the Sea Clan's thinking has always been straight?"

"It's the orcs who can think completely hard, but because some of the inhabitants of the Sea Clan have a relatively low IQ, such as the Fish-People, if they don't live beyond a certain age, they generally only have appetite and reproductive instincts in their brains." Shaking his hand and giving a negative answer, the mermaid archon probably realized that the topic was a little off, so he quickly returned to the topic and said, "Let's return to the matter of the Demon King Trial. Here are some of your initial concerns, but in fact your temptations will be over long after you have confirmed that you can resist the spell. Even though the increase itself is quite slow. But after living for such a long time, I also have a lot of magic power, which is about the same as the magic level in mages, and the natural charm of the mermaid race has an extra bonus, which can resist my charm without defense, and I think that even if the high-level dream demon himself casts a spell, he will not be able to hypnotize you."

"Understand, it's really reassuring to have a leader who doesn't have to worry about being hypnotized." I nodded. In terms of politeness, the mermaid archon was obviously a little more than that, but from another point of view, I was not incomprehensible, and this last question was purely to satisfy my curiosity: "What if I was really seduced just now?"

"Nothing will happen, but when you regain consciousness, you will find that you have left the office door at some point, and for some time afterward. I won't have a second meeting with you." The Mermaid Archon told him honestly, but finally the conversation changed, "It's just that now that you've passed the quiz of guò, I think we can start talking about some more in-depth topics, such as your content of the Demon King Trial."

"I remember that the content of the trial was determined by the leaders of the five major forces, and as a challenger, I don't think I had much say in it." I spread my hands and said that I didn't care: "In order to get the pieces together, I can only take on all the challenges."

"You're not upset about that?" The Merfolk Archon asked with great interest, "Is it because you're used to going with the flow, or are you confident in your own strength?"

"It's neither, I just think it's easier to participate in the trial mission anyway than to start a war between the two armies, at least there is no need to do post-disaster reconstruction and pacify the people afterwards, and since the leader of the region has not changed, it will naturally not cause much turmoil." I laughed self-deprecatingly: "Although it is said to be the supreme leader of the demon world, the Demon King City does not collect taxes from various forces, and all the needs are self-sufficient, except for the addition of a nominal king above, I think the appearance of the demon king must be more beneficial than disadvantageous for the demon world that is difficult to integrate."

"Yes, but that doesn't mean we're going to release water in Trials missions." The mermaid archon stiffened his face and said sternly, "Although the third Demon King has left us, out of respect for him, we will not allow his successor to fall into the name of the Demon King."

I touched my nose and honestly expressed my feelings, "Even after more than 200 years, I still have such a strong influence, and it is very stressful to be such a senior."

"You're the one who decided to succeed as the fourth Demon King, so I can't feel this kind of pressure." The Mermaid Archon briefly wrapped up the topic at the moment, and then brought up another thing: "Speaking of which, do you know that the Hurricane Tournament will be held in the Sea Capital in a month's time?"

"You mean that sea race?"

"Yes, you know it's much easier." The Mermaid Archon smiled calmly, "Then as for the content of the trial, I would like you to win the championship in this competition, as long as you can win the championship, I will hand over the fragments left by the third generation of the Demon King to you without saying a word."

"It's a deal!" I stood up from my chair and waved to the secretarial staff in the reception room with a straight face.

"What do you command?" The secretary stepped forward and looked at me with a smiling expression that seemed a little nervous.

"Where is the toilet in the office?" I turned my head, and the expression on my face did not change at all: "I just talked about the key places that are difficult to interrupt, and now that the conversation is over, I urgently need to find a place to discharge the flood water from the reservoir that is about to be critical."

「…… After leaving the room, go to the bottom and turn left, and there is a men's toilet about 20 meters away." (To be continued......)
