Chapter 40 The Demon King's Calculation

Let's not mention Li Gongzhe's side for the time being, anyway, no matter how big he is injured, it is estimated that he will not be able to receive the lunch, let's take a look at the movements of the demons. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Where is the demon race, as I have mentioned before, in the north, its sphere of influence is like a black dragon entrenched on the continent. Further north of the demon race are orcs, and south of it is the kingdom of humans. We know that demons don't have a good image in the eyes of humans and orcs.

But the demons who should be very uncomfortable in the middle of this live very quickly, why, because of their strength. The strength of the demon race is self-evident, as long as it does not reveal an absolute gap in numbers, then the demon race is almost invincible.

Originally, the demons were a very aggressive race, but the current demons don't know why, and it hasn't been a large-scale war for a long time. Some intellectuals revealed that this seems to be because of the old demon king, and it seems that the old demon king and so-and-so have made some agreement.

So who is this so-and-so, could it be a certain strong man who died at the hands of the old demon king? If that's the case, then it's hard to guess. Because like the Holy See Pope of the last generation, the Great Shaman of the Orc of the last generation, and the first sword saint in the world hundreds of years ago, what an invincible magician who was famous. All of them failed to challenge the Old Demon King's dungeon, and none of them brought resurrection coins.

There are too many strong heroes who have died at the hands of the old demon king, fuck, I'm afraid the old demon king himself can't count them.

As far as the creatures on the continent are concerned, the old demon king can be described as legendary, no, it should be an invincible existence. In the Great War of Demon Slaying 500 years ago, the final battle was in the capital of ten thousand demons, and the old demon king turned the tide and killed many strong men of the Demon Slaying Alliance before the war stopped.

But since then, the old demon king has become more and more secluded, and he has begun to vigorously develop the demon economy behind the scenes, and vigorously develop the productive forces according to the two basic points of one center. Because history tells us that when we march to war, we are fighting money. As long as the country is rich and the people are strong, it will be invincible. As far as the demon clan is concerned, the people don't need to be cultivated anymore, so the old demon king is extremely correct to start cultivating the wealth of the country.

The upper class people on the mainland today know who is the richest on the mainland. That is the so-called four major consortia, the Demon King Consortium, the Holy See Consortium, the Ocean Alliance Consortium, and the Goblin Consortium.

It is said that it adopts an epoch-making joint-stock system. Although the continent is still largely at the level of the Middle Ages, it is undeniable that capitalism has begun to sprout.

Okay, let's not mention all of that, let's take a look at the gorgeous Demon Palace.

What is the Demon Palace, the wind is still full of dry bones, eh, that should be the Hades Palace. The palace of the demons is very large, and it is very gorgeous. Patches of smooth foamstone, neat dragonstone floor tiles, and even the tall white columns that can be seen everywhere are all made of the horns of some kind of alien beast.

Here, there are green meadows, flowers and trees, and rare beasts, just like a magical version of the Old Summer Palace. By the way, it is important to emphasize that there are no eunuchs here, and the palace maids are not called palace maids but royal maids.

Within the society of the demon race, in a sense, most of them are relatively equal. Not equality of status, but equality of opportunity. It's interesting to note that even if you're a captured alien slave, you can go to school and even go to the election of officials (natural slaves don't have the right to be elected). But there is a premise for this, you must be a slave without a death contract, or a death contract but you have the money to buy yourself from the government.

Dead deeds and living deeds, this is different.

There are only about 10 million demons living in the territory of the demons, while the number of slaves is more than 30 million, and the number of non-slave aliens is 10 million. If it weren't for the absolute force deterrence of the demons, it would not be easy to rule so many slaves.

The Old Demon King was very much against slavery, just look at the Civil War, capitalism and slavery were almost completely opposed. It's a pity that the slave society of the demon race has been formed for thousands of years, and it really can't be changed for a while. After all, the history of the demons is based on war, iron and blood, and slaves.

So the old demon king retreated and created the system of life and death hundreds of years ago. According to statistics, out of 30 million slaves, about 25 million slaves are alive and only the remaining 5 million slaves are dead.

There is no other reason, but because the old demon king has taken the initiative of paying heavy taxes for slaves, and the taxes and fees of the death deed are ten times that of the living deed. And the most painful thing is that this tax is still paid every year, and now raising slaves in the demon clan is like raising a car, you can afford it, you can afford it, you just can't afford it.

This move by the old demon king greatly alleviated the number of slaves among the people, and since the princes and nobles who were really in power could afford to pay the money, there was no backlash.

At this time, in the capital of ten thousand demons, a slave training camp of no small size.

"No. 337, out of the list. A handsome-looking demon slave trainer shouted loudly in the clearing.

Soon, a little girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, ran out of what appeared to be a dormitory.

"His Royal Highness the Demon King wants to see you again. The trainer said gently.

"yes, that's a real pleasure for me. The little girl said in a mocking tone. There is nothing wrong with the conversation between these two people, there are more slaves in this world, this is not too shameful, this seems to have become a mature and numb social system.

Sometimes some races next to the demon race will even take the initiative to become slaves because their lives are really difficult. However, in the case of such a heavy tax, if you take the initiative to be a slave, no one will necessarily collect it.

The little girl was dressed well, even better than the average child in the Gangis Empire. This is normal, because the main export of goods from this slave training camp is the princes and nobles.

The little girl's clothes, though well worn, could not hide the fact that she was a slave, for there was a collar around her neck (not of the kind of high-end goods of Lee Gong-chul's), and a chain about three meters long was attached to it.

(I only watched the first episode of the Thing from the Sky)

With this chain, it proves that she is a slave of a dead contract, that is, the so-called slave with life, gratuitous, and compulsory.

Strangely, this girl seems to be a demon too.

The little girl, numbered ThreeThirty-Seven, entered the palace as if she were familiar with it, and most of the people in the palace seemed to have seen her, but only for a routine check.

In the end, the little girl entered a huge palace with at least five demon masters who could be turned into sins. And this palace is really gorgeous, and the value of every brick and tile is mouth-watering, this is naturally the sleeping palace of the demon king Bai Lanxue.

"You're here. ”

Bai Lanxue was lying on the ground covered with the white king (an endangered bird on the continent of Osside), leaning on a large white hugging bear with her weak body, squinting at the stack of cards in front of her.

The girl knelt about five steps in front of Bai Lanxue, which was considered a privilege, and the average slave could only kneel ten steps away.

"His Royal Highness the Demon King is still here to play chess when he comes to me this time? The little girl asked calmly with a faint smile on her face.

"Playing chess is natural, but before I do, I want you to help me analyze the troubles I've been having lately. Bai Lanxue's monarchial posture at this time will definitely blind Li Gongzhe's dog eyes.

Bai Lanxue took out a card from those cards, and these cards were Demon Kill.

The card is, 'League of Assassins'.

"The League of Assassins, famous, is rumored to have been founded to have assassinated my father, the Demon King III. And this time, they moved again, as if to kill me. Bai Lanxue said as she took out another card.

This card is, 'Revolution of the Half-Elves.'"

"Half-elves, miserable people, emotionally I sympathize with them. But they have no money, no land, and no people, and I really don't like them. But I think they should be a good help if they can be used well. After Bai Lanxue finished speaking, she took out the third card.

This card is, 'The Lich.'"

"I'm not referring to the lich, but to the force behind him, an organization called the Shadows. Although this organization has little impact on me, it is a nuisance after all, and I think I should find a time to destroy him. Bai Lanxue naturally said to herself, and took out another card.

The card reads, 'Brother against Brother'.

"There's one guy who's been annoying and gives me a terrible headache, though. I don't think he can defeat me in the absolute power competition, even if he can successfully separate all the captains of the Demon King's army. ”

Because of this, the 'protector'.

This protector knows without saying it, that is the old demon king, that legendary-level pure being.

"His Royal Highness the Demon King has already made up his mind for a long time, do you still need my analysis? The little girl said with a smile.

"No, I need it. Because I got this card, but I wasn't sure if I could play it. Bai Lanxue said, taking out the last card.

'The Fate of Chaos'

The effect is to toss a copper coin, and the positive side will drop 1 bar of blood for each turn in the following round, and the negative side will lose 1 bar of blood for each turn in the following round. This is a card that is very characterful.

"Oh, and there are such people. The little girl was visibly surprised.

"Yes, there is such one, with the same personality as the old man. Irritable, arrogant, with no one in sight, even the demon king dares to fight. ”

(There are three thousand in this chapter, there are three thousand, hurry up and vote for me, dear friends)
