Demon King's Room.

The current demon king, Seinsti, is lying on the bed, her white and tender calves swinging back and forth alternately like a pendulum.

It's her original little girl appearance, not cow disguise.

In front of her was an unfinished puzzle, only a small part of it had been completed, and there were a large number of messy pieces scattered around it.

These tiles come in all shapes and sizes, and there are so many of them that it's not easy to do them all.

With her chin in one hand and a thumb-sized round tile in the other, Sain looked at the puzzle pieces in front of her with a cute frown, thinking about where to put them.

Ringer walked over to the bed, still staring at the puzzle, as if not noticing his approach.

Ringer didn't say anything, and stood quietly by the bed, observing the broken puzzle pieces in front of her.

Like a portrait?

The finished part has uneven edges and is not shaped, but the contents can be seen to be an eye.

"Here."

Sain suddenly placed the tile in his hand on the gap in the upper right corner.

"Wrong." Ringer reminded.

"What's wrong? That's right. Sain turned his head dissatisfied, staring at Ringer, with a sense of "I'm going to punish you hard if you don't say what's wrong."

After a week of getting along, how to deal with this kindergarten-level demon king, Ringer has some experience, and he is no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning.

He said calmly: "Although the shapes can be matched and the colors are similar, if you look closely at the edges, you can still see the difference." The piece you put together is a little lighter in color than the surrounding area. ”

Sain looked back at the place she had just put together, and let out a soft sigh.

"Hey, it's really different."

Then he puffed out his cheeks and cut off the puzzle piece, looking a little angry.

"It's too much of a puzzle."

Ringer took out the cup of Campari Coke he had prepared and handed it to her.

"Since you don't like it, you just don't want to play."

Sain threw away the tile in his hand, took the cold wine glass with both hands, and took a big sip.

"Phew, I'm not playing, this is one of the trials left by my father, and I have to complete it."

"Trials?"

Holding the wine glass in both hands, Sain explained, "My father left me ninety-nine trials, saying that as long as I complete them, I can become a qualified demon king. ”

Ringer's gaze swept over the tile on the bed. "Which one is this?"

"Seventh."

Ringer couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What is the last one?" ”

"I haven't seen it yet, you wait."

As she spoke, a dark magic book appeared in front of Sain, which automatically flipped in front of her until the last page.

"I'll take a look at ...... [Train the Brave to Be Your Dog]. Well, I see, it's pretty simple. At least it's a lot easier than this damn puzzle. ”

After hearing this, Ringer thought to himself, the young Demon King seemed to see things too simply, and the difficulty of this trial was related to the quality of the brave.

If you encounter a new generation of high-quality braves, you may be wiped out. However, he was in Castalon and had not heard of the modern brave.

"Who are the brave men of this generation?" He thought that as a demon king, Sain might have information about this.

"I don't know," Sain shook his little head blankly, "it's Andil who is in charge of intelligence, you want to know and ask him." ”

Sain finished the glass and tossed the empty glass to Ringer.

Ringer was about to leave, but she stopped him.

"Hey, are you good at puzzles?"

Ringer turned around, and on the bed, Sein sat in a pile of tiles looking at him.

"I played with it for a while when I was a kid."

"Great, you help me finish it."

Ringer was taken aback.

"Isn't this the test that the previous Demon King left you? Is it okay for me to come? He wanted to say that it was cheating, but she might be mad when he said so, so he said it very tactfully.

"A qualified demon king will not do everything by himself, he must have a strong ability to control and command others to do things. Assigning appropriate jobs to subordinates is the embodiment of the ability to rule. As long as you put this piece of the puzzle together for me, it proves that I have given the task to the right person, and that I am a qualified ruler, doesn't it? ”

Ringer looked at her in surprise.

He finally discovered that this young demon king had another strength in addition to his strength, that is, he was very good at making excuses.

"Since the Demon King has given the order, of course your subordinates are willing to share your worries, but ......," Ringer looked at the fragments of different sizes and shapes on the bed, "It may take some time. ”

"How long will it take?" Sain asked.

"A week." Ringer thought about it for a moment and said.

"Huh?" The little devil's eyes widened.

"Is it too long? That's five days. Ringer thought that Sain was not satisfied, and immediately changed his tune.

"Five days?" Sain grinded his little tiger teeth and narrowed his eyes.

"Three days!" Ringer gritted his teeth, "It can't be less, no matter how few subordinates don't necessarily spell it out." ”

Not necessarily? He said not necessarily!

Seinsti straightened up and took a deep breath.

"Okay, in three days, I'm going to see the full puzzle."

Ringer breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and took all the tiles on the bed into the ring, then turned to leave.

Sain sat on the bed, staring at his back until he opened the door and walked out.

She stared at the closed door, the corners of her delicate mouth twitched, and she whispered, "Can he really put it together in three days?" ”

The ninety-nine trials left to her by her father cover all aspects, including force, charm, intelligence, leadership, and the degree of evil, etc., aiming to improve her overall quality and become a qualified demon king.

This complex puzzle piece is undoubtedly a test of her intelligence, and it is a severe test for her.

She's been working hard for almost a year, but she's only done less than a tenth, and it looks weird in some places.

Now that Ringer said he could put it together in three days, and listening to his tone, maybe it could be shorter, her surprise can be imagined.

She had also thought about getting someone to help before, but there was no suitable one.

It's not that she doesn't have smart subordinates, for example, Andiel, the head of intelligence, is very smart, but he will never help him cheat. She knew this because she had already approached him, and the hateful Andil refused quite decisively.

There is also the Great Lich Uzir, who was a legendary magician during his lifetime, and turned into a lich after his death, constantly studying magic, and his intelligence has broken through the sky.

But that old thing is very tugging, and will never help her do such a thing, even if she orders him as a demon king, it may not be useful.

At the recent meeting, when she gave Ringer the title of "Tongue Demon", it was this old thing who spoke out against it.

As for the other low-level demons and undead in the Demon King City, they may not be as smart as her, so she can only fight slowly by herself.

Until now, Ringer appeared.

"It's nice that I didn't kill him that day. If he really helps me spell it out in three days, let him help me with everything I want to use my brain in the future. ”

Sain suddenly felt a sense of joy when he picked up the treasure, this human named "Ringer" was really unexpectedly easy to use.

He can make bad potions to make them less unpleasant, he can make delicious wine, and his brain seems to be very good, what a fully functional subordinate.

Sain was secretly happy when his father's face suddenly appeared on the door. But she knew that it was just a guardian spirit who looked exactly like her father.

"Lord Sayin, that's a trial that Lord Reddy left for you, and it can only be done by you personally, so how can it be handed over to someone else?" The demon's expression looked heartbroken.

"Just a demon spirit, don't worry about the affairs of this demon king, and then seal you in a wordy way." Seinsti threatened viciously.

The demon sighed and disappeared from the door.

Outside the door.

The demon spirit looked at the back of Ringer's departure, and sighed in his heart, forget it, the part of the power left in the puzzle should be regarded as the future drink fee.

Moreover, he has signed a soul contract with Sain, which can never be betrayed, and he may be able to become Sain's right-hand man.

For Sain, cultivating his own team is indeed an important thing.

When he thought about it, he was relieved.

……

After leaving the Demon King's room, Ringer did not immediately go back.

Now there is still a long time before going to work, Lan Ya and the others are shopping, and he has nothing to do when he goes back, so he plans to go shopping in the Demon King City.

As for the puzzle pieces he had just gotten from Sain, he didn't pay attention to them at all.

The nervousness he showed in front of Sain just now was faked.

When he was eight years old, he was already playing a 3,000-piece puzzle, which he could complete in two hours at the earliest.

By the time he was nine years old, the number of tiles had reached 10,000, and when he finished it in an afternoon, he completely lost interest in this boring game.

Because the game was no longer challenging for him, it had become a boring and repetitive arm exercise, and even if the number of pieces increased, there was no other point in wasting a little more time.

The puzzle that Sain had given her was exactly what he thought it would take him three hours at most.

He walked down the quiet hallway, hearing his own footsteps echoing in the shadows.

He had also walked around the castle when he had been here before, but there were still many places he hadn't visited.

The rooms here cannot be viewed with normal eyes, and sometimes when you push open an inconspicuous door, there is a huge space inside, even enough to fit a canyon or a huge mountain.

Even if he walked around the whole day, he wouldn't be able to finish the room, so he would only look outside the door.

Today he plans to go to the library to have a look.

The Demon King's library must be extremely rich, and you may be able to find useful knowledge there.

As he was walking, a door in front of him suddenly opened, and a slender figure stepped out of it.

It's the head of Demon King City, Andiel. A character who seems to be wearing a smile mask, but the real him is by no means as simple as the smile on his face.

Andil made such an impression on Ringer that he recognized it at a glance.

"Oh, it's Mr. Tongue Demon, what a coincidence, I actually met you here." Andil also noticed Ringer and smiled gently.

Ringer also responded with a warm smile.

"Hello, Lord Sir."

"Hehe, you are a cadre personally promoted by Lord Demon King, according to the position of you and I at the same level, how can you call me Lord, I can't afford it, just call me by my name." Andiel smiled, "If you like, you can call me Xiao An." ”

Hehe, if I really call it that, you won't give me little shoes to wear.

Although Ringer didn't plan to develop in Demon King City and wasn't afraid of Andiel's shoes, he didn't want to offend a dangerous person for such a boring reason.

"Hello, Lord Andiel."

"Well, that sounds a lot more comfortable." Andil nodded with satisfaction, "Did Mr. Ringer just come out of the Demon King's room?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to go to the library, can I go in there?" Ringer confirmed.

A few days ago, when he was wandering around the Demon King City, he encountered several forbidden places that he was not allowed to enter.

"Absolutely, there's a lot of interesting stuff in there, and I'm sure you'll love it."

Andil suddenly clasped his hands and touched his chin.

"The librarian there isn't in a good temper though, but she's sleeping most of the time, and as long as you don't wake her up, she'll be fine."

Andiel's words made Ringer wonder, what kind of person is the administrator of the library?

No, it shouldn't be a human, maybe a demon, maybe an undead, or some other strange creature.

But he doesn't go to trouble out of curiosity.

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll remember that."

At this time, he suddenly remembered that when she asked Sein who the brave man of this generation was, Sain asked him to ask Andil about it.

Now that he happened to meet him, he asked, "Your Excellency Andiel, do you know the news of this generation of brave men?" ”

Andil looked at him a little strangely and said, "Our spy needs to disguise himself as a human in order to go to the human city to inquire about the news, as a human on the surface, don't you know?" ”

Ringer shook his head and said, "I'm usually busy with work, so I don't pay attention to this. ”

"Work? Mr. Tongue Demon is not an adventurer? ”

"No, I'm a bartender," Ringer says, "and it's a profession dedicated to making wine taste better." ”

"It sounds like a romantic career, it's pretty good. I sometimes have two drinks during my breaks......"

"Where does Mr. Tongue Demon work?" Andil asked suddenly.

"The wine you have made can be loved by the Demon King, and Lord Elvi seems to like it too, so it must be quite delicious. I want to be a guest there, too. Andil said with a look of fascination.

Ringer secretly said in his heart, what an old fox, obviously I was asking questions, but you took the opportunity to inquire about me.

However, he kept a smile on his face and said calmly: "Of course, the place where I work is in Castalon." ”

"Huh, Castalon? Isn't that the great city that Lord Elvi is leading his army to attack? Andil was a little surprised.

"Yes, there it is." Ringer smiled, "The bar I work for is called Emerald, and it is located on the north side of the shopping street, Uradahachang Street, if you are interested, you can go there and check it out." "If you can find it.

"Hehe, when Lord Elvie conquers that city, I will definitely find time to take a look."

"Well, the news about the brave......" Ringer politely reminded the other party, I am done, it is time for you to answer my question.

Andil patted his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Look at me, I asked by myself, but I haven't answered your question yet." ”

Ringer didn't speak, but his eyes seemed to say, "In that case, you should hurry up and stop smirking there."

Andil didn't say anything, but he raised his left hand and slowly swiped it in front of him.

Five floating purple magic books appeared in front of him, and on the cover of each magic book, there was a bust of the man.

Ringer saw a familiar face in the second spellbook from the left.

"Hey, isn't that Claire?"
