Chapter Ninety-Five: Self-Reliance (Asking for Votes and Support)
After installing the two software QQ and Starting Point, Li Muran's quality of life has improved a lot.
Whether it is the strength of the Demon King Army or the quality of life of the Demon King and the secretary, there have been a lot of changes.
It can be said to be a milestone-like stage.
At this time, the life of the forest elves gradually stabilized.
Everyone is getting used to the new environment.
The children would play near the Demon King City, and the women of the forest elves especially liked to pester Li Muran.
As soon as he had the opportunity, he ran up and set almost, and all kinds of flirts with Li Muran.
Isha has been rushing up with a white face like a bug, and frantically blasted everyone away.
It's so timely every time, and I don't know where it came from every time.
Li Muran suspected that Isha was following him, or that she had awakened some strange early warning ability.
I was a little frightened when I saw Isa's gentle side.
In addition to the above, the life of the forest elves has also begun to get on track.
They began to make handicrafts and also began to make potions from the herbs they had in stock.
As the weather gets better day by day, Li Muran's next plan is ready to be implemented.
Finally, when I woke up, the snow melted, everything revived, and the earth began to come back to life.
The unbearable and deadly winter for everyone has finally passed, and the long-awaited spring has arrived.
Walking out of the Demon King City and looking at the new appearance of the Death Song Forest, not only Li Muran, but everyone was overjoyed.
In particular, the forest elves hugged each other excitedly, celebrating the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, celebrating the fact that they could meet the Demon King, and celebrating becoming a member of the Demon King Army.
There is no doubt that this is a winter full of thrills and opportunities.
Now that spring has arrived, everything is waiting to be done.
The Demon King Army is also facing the problem of improving its strength as soon as possible.
Precious time cannot be wasted, and there is an urgent need for development.
So Li Muran called Bella and Isha together for a meeting.
The focus of the next work was discussed.
Although it was said that it was a meeting, it was actually mainly Li Muran who was talking, and Bella and Isha were only responsible for listening, as well as asking questions about various details.
If people who don't know see this picture, they will definitely mistakenly think that Li Muran is the demon king, and think that the demon king is assigning tasks to his subordinates.
As everyone knows, the one who blinks his big eyes and is cute is the demon king.
"I said you guys didn't think about the next work of the Demon King Army at all. What have you been doing all winter? ”
After Li Muran asked aggressively, Bella immediately raised her little hand with a smile.
"I'm reading a book. Li Muran's new ability is too interesting. You can't stop looking at it. ”
Li Muran went to pinch Bella's face.
The face was soft and bouncy, pulled up like a muffin.
"Of course I know you're reading. I'm just saying it's angry. I didn't ask you to answer. ”
While feeling that the demon king was as faceless as ever and was bullied by the secretary again, Isha also responded to Li Muran with a wry smile.
"I'm sorry, Lord Li Muran. I've been dealing with my people. And...... Maybe it's affected by the atmosphere of the Demon King Army, and there is no tension at all. I always feel that with you, everything will be arranged. It's because I'm too sluggish and too dependent on Master Li Muran. Please reproach me. ”
As soon as Isha lowered her head and admitted her mistake, Li Muran hurriedly asked Isha to raise her head.
"Don't blame Isa. Isha has been busy and hardworking. I've seen Isa's performance. I have nothing but praise for Isha, no criticism. Besides, this kind of thing should be thought of by the Demon King, and it has nothing to do with Isha who is responsible. It's all the fault of the demon king's disdain. ”
"Lord Li Muran."
"Isa."
Maintain the posture of Li Muran's hands gently pressing on Isa's shoulders.
Isha and Li Muran looked at each other, gradually forgetting their surroundings and entering their own small world.
It was as if pink bubbles could be seen rising from the two of them.
"Lord Li Muran."
"Isa."
"Lord Li Muran."
"Isa."
"Enough, annoying. Here we go again. Why is the attitude towards Isha so much worse than the attitude towards me. Protest, protest. ”
Just when Li Muran and Isha were about to resonate, Bella, who was puffed up, forcibly rushed in and interrupted the spell casting.
Li Muran and Isha returned to normal.
The meeting was also able to continue.
"Forget it, I know that Bella hasn't seriously considered the development of the Demon King Army."
"I've thought about it too."
"Tell me, what are we going to do next? How? Please think about it too, Isa. ”
"Yes."
After a brief thought, Bella playfully held out a finger.
"I remember Li Muran said that in order to develop and continue to expand the strength of the Demon King Army, we must first start by collecting the most basic survival resources."
After listening to Bella's answer, Li Muran pushed down his glasses and showed a satisfied smile.
Although the foundation is very poor, this demon king is still modest, and he also studies hard, and will remember what Li Muran taught her.
It is because of continuous growth that Li Muran has never given up Bella.
"So, how, exactly?"
When asked about the details, a cold sweat broke out on Bella's forehead, as if the student who had not listened to the lecture and was called by the teacher in class, looked anxiously left and right.
Li Muran squinted and pressed Bella with a death gaze, while Isha showed an inclusive smile, looking like she wanted to pass a note to Bella and give Bella a hint.
I knew that Bella couldn't answer.
"Cut, Crumbs."
Bella has been a demon for 17 years, but she has no similar experience.
Seeing that Bella couldn't answer, Li Muran turned to Isha again.
"Isha, let's talk about it. It's okay, it's okay to say something wrong. It's considered to be the internal learning after becoming a cadre of the Demon King Army.。 ”
Isa's face flushed.
"Yes. Thank you, Lord Li Muran, for your care. ”
"Protest, the gap between my attitude and that of Isha is too big, I want to protest."
Regardless of the puffing demon king's protests, Isha gave the answer she knew after a short thought.
"Lord Bella said that it starts with survival resources. Combined with the experience of our forest elves, it should be to go into the forest and look for food, materials that can be used to make clothes, and materials for medicine. We've always relied on the mountains to eat the mountains. Is this true? Lord Li Muran? ”
Li Muran nodded.
"Isha 80 points, Bella 60 points, barely passing."
was given a high score by Li Muran, and Isha showed a happy expression.
Bella hit Li Muran with a small fist, but did not cause harm to Li Muran.
Li Muran pinched Bella's face and put her back in her original seat.
"Isha was right. Collecting the most basic survival resources is indeed all of the above. But that is the living habit of the forest elves, and there is a little difference from the practice of the Demon King Army. ”
"Please ask Master Li Muran for advice."
Isha looked at Li Muran seriously, and Bella also quieted down, looking at Li Muran equally seriously.
Li Muran told the two of them the answer.
"The situation this winter has also made everyone understand how important basic survival supplies are. Although the combat power of the Demon King Army is equally important, it is obvious that the survival materials needed every day are more important than the war that does not know when it will start. ”
"Food, clothes, and a house to live in. These survival materials have to be touched every day, needed every day, and no one is missing. ”
Recalling the scene when the forest elves were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to speak, wearing unwarm clothes, and huddled in a leaky house, Isha and Bella felt a lot and agreed with Li Muran's statement very much.
"You can't fight when you're hungry, and no matter how strong you are, if you can't eat enough, you won't have the strength to do it, and you won't be able to release your magic. So it's like Isha said. Before we Demon King Army can do anything else, we must first ensure sufficient basic survival materials. This is the basis for doing other things, the big premise. ”
"Now, the house matter is basically settled. But the house is the least important of all the survival goods. ”
"The forest elves live a life of relying on the mountains and eating the mountains. He has been engaged in hunting and gathering to obtain basic materials for survival. I won't make irresponsible remarks about the racial habits of a race, but the habit of relying on the mountains is not reliable. Of course, there are also factors such as the number of forest elves is too small to obtain survival resources, but it is likely that there will be insufficient material collection and it will be difficult to survive the winter. At least last winter. ”
Li Muran looked at Isha.
Isha did not refute Li Muran, but nodded approvingly.
"The situation of the forest elves is a wake-up call for us. The Demon King Army must have a stable supply of survival materials, especially the food supply must be continuous and stable, and there must be no hunger and a full meal. The interruption of the supply of basic survival materials will not only bring a huge crisis, but may even directly disintegrate the composition of the Demon King Army, causing a devastating blow to the Demon King Army. Maybe without a fight, the Demon King Army itself will die. ”
"With more people comes the more complex the problem and requires more professional treatment. If you're not careful, you'll lose everything. The issue of survival materials is already a big issue related to the life and death of the Demon King Army. Compared to the threat of other demon kings, the enemy who is most likely to defeat us at the moment, the crisis is imminent. ”
Hearing Li Muran's statement, Bella shuddered.
"Is it so dangerous when I don't know it?"
Li Muran nodded.
"There's nothing wrong with relying on the mountains to eat the mountains. But it is also equivalent to putting your fate in the hands of someone else. I don't like this practice of letting other things take charge of their own destiny. If the Demon King Army wants to become stronger, the first thing to do is to take their fate into their own hands. Someone chokes the neck of the demon king army and knocks people down, and nature controls its own destiny, so it takes over its own destiny from nature. Think about how to increase the protection factor. ”
Isa and Bella agreed with Li Muran's idea.
But at the same time, he also showed a look of embarrassment.
"Master Li Muran, you're right. But how? Against nature? Snatching your destiny back from nature? This is easier said than done. Can anyone really do it? ”
"That's right. Li Muran. It sounds impossible. Even a powerful demon king can't control nature. I'm self-aware, and even if you want to rely on me, what you can't do is what you can't do. ”
Li Muran shrugged.
"Of course, we don't want to control nature, and we don't expect Bella. The useless elements had to be eliminated, so Bella was excluded from my combat power from the beginning. ”
"It's too much."
The Demon King complained with teary eyes. But was ignored by Li Muran.
"All we have to do is to take the initiative as much as possible. For example, even in a disaster year, when it is difficult to collect survival resources in the mountains, we can still obtain resources in our own way to ensure stable and sustainable survival. That's what I want. ”
"Still don't understand what to do."
Li Muran looked at Isha again.
"Isha, do you forest elves know how to farm?"
"Farming? I've heard that humans can farm on their own, but we forest elves don't. This forest is overgrown with shrubs, making it difficult to reclaim the land. We don't have the expertise to farm, and it's always been our tradition to get our living resources from the forest. The forest elves didn't think about farming. It's okay to simply plant some plants. ”
After all, it is the race of the National Ranger.
Li Muran already knew the result.
"The way I just said that I am in control of my destiny is farming that the forest elves have not tried."
"Huh?"
Li Muran stood up and slapped the table hard, with an irrefutable posture that had already made a decision.
"Our Demon King Army wants to farm, just near this Demon King City. This is the focus of the Demon King's Army for the next period of time. I've decided on this, and no one can say it. ”
Bella stood up excitedly.
"Let's not talk about why I suddenly want to farm. Why do you look like a secretary has already made a decision? Isn't it up to me to make a decision? ”
"Sit down, I'm not done yet. Interrupt me again, Bella has no meat for lunch. ”
"I was wrong. Secretary, please continue. ”
Looking at Bella, who was sitting down, Isha smiled wryly again.
"Lord Li Muran, I don't understand why I suddenly want to farm."
"Isha asked. I'll answer you. ”
"Protest. Make chalk of one and cheese of the other. ”
"Protests are not effective!"
Neither Bella nor Isha could understand why they suddenly had to farm.
Isha has been living a life of relying on the mountains and eating from the mountains, and her thinking has become a stereotype.
Bella thinks that the Demon King Army should do great things, and the work of farming does not match the image of the Demon King Army.
Li Muran explained to the two the reason why he suddenly wanted to farm.
"The materials for our Demon King City and the materials for the winter of the forest elves before were all produced by me, and I conjured them with my skills. You both know that. ”
Isha and Bella nodded.
Everyone knows this, even the Demon King City was conjured up by Li Muran.
"I've been using the materials I conjured up to get through the storm, but my supplies aren't infinite. I won't hide it from you, because there is not much RMB left, and it will definitely be impossible to continue to live as lavishly as before. In order to make money, I started writing novels. ”
"Once my RMB runs out, it means that the Demon King's army will completely cut off the way to obtain supplies. And now that the forest elves have also joined the Demon King Army, the demand for materials has skyrocketed. As time goes by, the gap gets bigger and bigger. Although it can barely support it now, I'm afraid it won't last long. At that time, the great crisis of the Demon King Army I just mentioned will come. ”
Both Isha and Bella looked surprised.
It seems that the two of them understand the seriousness of the problem.
"No, can't you eat chocolate?"
"Milk powder, no milk powder? It's horrible. ”
Although I understand, the effect seems to be a little different from what Li Muran thought?
It's still a bit of a match with the radio waves of people from another world.
