Chapter 30: The Situation in the Dark Devil Country
When Li Yu learned about these situations, he didn't know what to say, if it weren't for the fact that he still had to break the seal of the previous demon king and let the former demon king send him home, he would definitely stop doing it.
Who wants to be such a dangerous demon king! Speaking of the Demon King, shouldn't they all kidnap the princesses of other countries, tease the brave people who rescued the princesses, and live in the wine pond meat forest every day? Why does he, the demon king, have to face countless dangers, and if you don't want to give up your life?
Having said that, the demons in this world are too miserable, right?
No, this is not worse, Menier's next introduction made Li Yu completely speechless.
As the only country of the Demon Race, the Black Demon Kingdom should have obeyed the jurisdiction of the Demon King, but in fact, things are not so simple.
Under the Demon King, there are still the so-called twelve nobles in the Black Demon Kingdom, and these twelve nobles do not refer to twelve people, but to twelve families, which respectively rule the twelve fiefdoms of the Black Demon Kingdom.
As for the Demon King, there is only a small area of territory around the Black Blood City and the castle, which belongs to him, and in Li Yu's words, this is basically no different from the Commander of the Light Pole.
What's the fuss? What kind of fuss is it? Such a miserable demon king is simply rare in the world! Mixed up to this point, it's a fart for the demon king! It's almost sad to die!
I have to say that the current situation of the Black Demon Kingdom is not optimistic, although Li Yu simply became the Demon King, but in fact, this large pile of burdens was directly thrown on his shoulders, and this mess is very difficult to clean up.
According to Menier's account, when the previous Demon King was still on the throne, the twelve nobles were still very jealous of His Majesty the Demon King, although they kept making small and medium-sized moves in secret, but on the surface, at least they still obeyed the orders of the Demon King.
But since the previous demon king was sealed and no one was in charge of the power of the Dark Demon Kingdom, the twelve nobles began to be ready to move, and even some outrageous actions dared to be blatant.
There's no way, who let the three daughters of the previous demon king manage the black blood city now, the twelve nobles don't dare to provoke the previous demon king, but will they still be afraid of the three yellow-haired girls?
Because of this, the Black Blood City has been suppressed very much recently, among the twelve nobles, except for two families who are willing to obey the orders of the Black Blood City, the remaining ten families are basically the rhythm of each setting up a mountain to support themselves as kings.
And according to rumors, there are some people among these twelve nobles who collude with other races without authorization, and even more so with the existence of human beings! It's just unbearable!
But now this situation, if you can't bear it, you have to endure it, who makes the family strong, I believe that if this situation continues, I'm afraid that Black Blood City will not be able to continue to persevere.
But at this moment, the savior of the Black Blood City came, and Li Yu's appearance made Menier see the hope of the Black Magic Kingdom, and she put all the bets on Li Yu, and handed over all the expectations to Li Yu.
Menier firmly believes that since this Demon King was chosen by his mother, then he will definitely be able to reintegrate the Dark Demon Kingdom and recreate the glory of the Demon Race again!
"Uh...... Menier, it's good to believe me, but it's stressing me out. ”
When Menier said this, Li Yu's forehead was already sweating, reintegrating the Dark Magic Kingdom? Does that mean that he is going to be the enemy of the twelve nobles first?
It can be seen from Menier's description that the power in the hands of the twelve nobles is very large, and the masters under them are like clouds and many generals, but looking at the Black Devil Kingdom, although it is not an old and weak soldier, it is impossible to fight against the twelve nobles.
Li Yu said this, not because he was majestic and weakened, he was just expounding a fact.
After all, people are in power, you can't use your mouth to persuade people to give up their power, and instead follow the orders of a so-called demon king who doesn't know where to go, this is a completely unscientific thing.
"Your Majesty the Demon King, you don't have to worry, for the sake of the Black Demon Kingdom and Your Majesty, I am willing to sacrifice my last drop of blood!" Seeing Li Yu's embarrassed look, Menier immediately knelt down to show her loyalty and ambition, but even if she said so, there was no way to turn the impossible into a possibility.
"Your Majesty! Are you really willing to watch the Dark Devil fall apart, destabilize the country once again, and bleed our fellow citizens again? Your Majesty! ”
A beautiful girl knelt down and begged herself, Li Yu was suddenly helpless, he really didn't look at this situation in his heart, but then again, he didn't seem to have any other choice.
"Okay Menier, I know, I'll do my best to help this country."
stepped forward to help Menier, Li Yu also made her take a reassuring pill, he was not soft-hearted because of Menier's kneeling, but he understood that no matter how bad the situation in front of him was, it was impossible for him to retreat.
Because behind him, there is no way back at all, do you want him to leave the Black Blood City and give up the position of this demon king? Even if so, what could he do?
So, since you don't have a choice, you can only bite the bullet!
"Your Majesty!"
Menier didn't know what Li Yu was thinking, she just thought that Li Yu had figured it out and was ready to work hard for the Black Magic Kingdom! Of course, it made her very excited and excited.
"That...... If you don't mind, can you continue to tell me about the situation in the Dark Devil Kingdom? ”
Being watched by Mei Nier so excitedly and enthusiastically, Li Yu was a little embarrassed, he really didn't want to revive the demon clan wholeheartedly, he was just doing it for himself, Mei Nier obviously misunderstood his rhythm.
But if this kind of misunderstanding continues, Li Yu will not be stupid enough to explain again.
"Of course, Your Majesty, it's my pleasure!"
In her opinion, since His Majesty the Demon King wants to better understand the Black Demon Kingdom and understand the Black Blood City, she naturally wants to know everything, but she can't wait to tell Li Yu everything, so that Li Yu can grow up quickly, become a real Demon King, and revitalize the entire Black Demon Kingdom!
There is no library in Black Blood City, and Li Yu wants to know more, except for Mei Nier's introduction, he can only go to the library located in Black Blood City to consult the treasured books in it.
Books are still very rare in this world, after all, there is no mature papermaking technology in this world, and the paper produced is expensive, and the price of publishing books is exaggerated.
Because of this, the cultural and educational level of this world is generally low, and ordinary civilians basically have little access to written knowledge, and only nobles can read and write from an early age and enter schools.
In Li Yu's view, this is a very serious drawback, no culture is terrible, no books, this means that there is no spiritual entertainment in this world, as an otaku, can Li Yu endure this kind of thing?
No way! Reform is necessary!
