Chapter 12 The Skeleton’s Debut

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Originally, Li Yue thought that the vegetable garden was so big that there would be other monsters besides Rockefeller, which would be a good time to enrich the devil's illustrated book. However, after going around in circles, no more monsters were included.

There are travelers with thick calluses on their feet but greasy bodies, travelers with slightly curly hair who are barely breathing, and farmers who are old and frail and have cloudy eyes...

There was even a pig, which was imprisoned opposite Li Yue. It had a trace of magical power, so much so that Li Yue once mistakenly thought it was some kind of weak monster.

These are not the objects that the Devil's Illustrated Book wants to include, and Li Yue just keeps the images of these prisoners in his mind for illusions - this time Li Yue did not communicate with any additional humans, walked around in a hurry, and harvested sporadic things.

After dozens of points of [malice], he quietly retreated to Rockefeller’s prison.

Walking this way is also a way for Li Yue to organize his thoughts, specify a complete route, and completely reproduce the posture of the pallet skeleton soldier.

Li Yue felt that the Ultimate Magic Stone was waving to him.

"Have you decided where to go?" Li Yue shook the key in her hand and looked at the prisoners in the cell, feeling that she would not escape the fate of death.

Rockefeller did not answer, her eyes seemed to be firmly attracted by the key, and her eyes revealed hope and doubt at the same time.

"Crash!" Li Yue threw a whole bunch of keys into Rockefeller's cell, turned and left without looking at it again.

Go downstairs, go to the vault, and get the magic stone... Li Yue thought like a skeleton soldier, walking step by step from the depths of the "vegetable field" to the intersection.

But there is a figure who is faster than Li Yue - Rockefeller!

The female thief opened the cell door immediately, fled to the debris pile at the entrance of the vegetable field, and quickly rummaged through it.

Li Yue couldn't help but stop and looked at her with a pair of empty eyes.

Rockefeller held a piece of bran cake stained with blood in his mouth, trying hard to hold it softly before eating it; without stopping, he put on a piece of light clothes and pants, and then kept checking the sundries.

Heap, rummaging through anything that might help him escape.

Seeing her fingers flying up and down, Li Yue suddenly changed his mind about her.

Maybe...she might survive.

Li Yue took another step forward, and Rockefeller raised his head warily, chewing a mouthful of bran cake - bloodless lips, stubbornness on the pretty face covered with bruises... That scene was firmly remembered by Li Yue.

"I wish you good luck." Li Yue pushed open the stone door of the vegetable field, said goodbye to the first human he met after traveling through time, and did not plan to do anything more.

For Li Yue, it’s easy to understand, just for peace of mind.

What else? Do we really want to contribute our limited demon lives to the cause of human liberation in Demon King City?

Who will liberate me?

……

Following the path of memory, Li Yue silently walked through the corridors of Demon King's City, not daring to deviate from the route at all, and went straight to the treasury - several plans were turned over and over in his mind, and Li Yue silently looked forward to the smoothest situation.
There were originally many guards guarding the road, but after the carnival of the Killing Cup, the visible skeletons seemed to be tired from playing, and were scattered in piles in the corners, taking a rest.

The shadows in the corridor were still so dark. Li Yue copied the gait of the pallet skeleton and finally approached the vault. There was only one corner left.

"Who is coming -" Li Yue didn't even know where the voice came from.

In the shadows, an armor more than two meters high walked out slowly, like a demon guarding wealth, blocking Li Yue's whereabouts.

"According to the order of Mr. Oujibuji, the gambling demon and the king of the Dou Dou Colosseum, I came to 'extract' the ultimate magic stone..." Li Yue had already made a plan and imitated the voice of the pallet skeleton and said

The dialogue when it returns the Ultimate Magic Stone - just replaces "return" with "extraction".

This is the limit that Li Yue can do to prevent his identity from being discovered.

【Malicious 14】

Found?

"Hmm..." A hollow voice echoed in Armor's body, and I didn't know if I could hear the subtle differences.

"Make sure to complete the task!" Li Yue added.

The visor swayed slightly up and down, as if to remember Li Yue's figure; then, the armor hesitated for a moment and retreated into the shadows again.

Li Yue secretly called it a fluke, turned the corner, and finally saw the solid gold door that occupied the entire wall.

The golden color was dazzling, but Li Yue's attention was not on it at all, and he tried his best to sense the existence of the demon scribe.

He's not here, perfect.

Li Yue was ecstatic, thinking that his fortune had finally turned around?

Without changing his pace, Li Yue stumbled to the drawer in front of the vault and sensed the increasingly familiar source of magic power - the Ultimate Magic Stone was still there, which was the reward for the winner of the Colosseum...

"What are you doing here again?" After all, a voice sounded in Li Yue's heart.

Sure enough, even if the demon secretary is not there, there are still monsters guarding the vault... This at least proves that the vault is an important facility in the Demon King's City, and of course it cannot be completely unguarded.

Li Yue turned his head faintly and "saw" a little guy wearing a black cloak - the little guy was very similar to the demon scribe, only one size smaller. He also carried a quill and a parchment, and the other

One hand is tied with a bunch of iron chains, could it be a relative?

Of course, there is no information about the little guy in Li Yue's memory, and the transformation does not retain the memory of the original body, so next... he can only rely on acting.

"According to the order of Lord Oujibuji, the gambling demon and the king of the Dou Dou Colosseum, I came to 'extract' the ultimate magic stone..." Li Yue regretted not learning more dialogue from the pallet skeleton.

[Parsing...3%...]

The little guy is pretty good, but the analysis will take a long time.

"Oh? Why do you want to take it away again?" The little guy was much more lively than the Demon Scribe himself. He shook his quill and floated around Li Yue to look up and down.

"Could it be that...you want to take it all to yourself?" The little guy's ability to associate is also very amazing, which directly revealed Li Yue's heart.

"The next game of the Killing Cup is scheduled for three days later..." Li Yue considered his speech, wishing that the smell of alcohol would spread out more.

"Oh? So take it now and save the ritual of entering and exiting the vault?" The little guy seemed to know the process of picking up goods in the vault very well. He went around and said to himself, "The King of the Colosseum...when will he help others?"

Have you considered it?"

[Parsing...6%...]

The analysis speed was not fast enough. Li Yue could not predict the little guy's actions. He almost sweated. He hurriedly opened the devil's illustrated book and imitated a set of skeleton soldier's obedient movements: "Hug and report to the secretary, the next game of the Killing Cup is scheduled for

After three days... Mr. Okibuki... has said hello to all the trash..."

Li Yue's words were unclear. He intercepted multiple dialogues and barely pieced together a vague meaning. It was just up to him to see if the little guy could understand it.

Time seems to be stretched out, Li Yue is waiting for trial.

"Tch, are you going to collude in advance again and then cheat money?" The little guy was very happy to show his insight into everything, "Then tell him to pay back the money quickly, otherwise it will be difficult for us to settle the account..."<

/p>

"This, this... okay." Li Yue reluctantly answered the conversation with limited dialogue.

"Here you go~" The little guy moved the chain on his hand, opened the drawer, and put the "perfect magic stone" with dark light into Li Yue's hand, and then muttered, "A piece of broken stone, I really don't understand how to use it."

What is called a reward..."

Boss per capita... Li Yue could only evaluate the values ​​​​of the upper demons in this way, and then took the magic stone with joy and reverence, and then saluted the little guy.

[Parsing...9%...]

Just as Li Yue's back was about to turn around the corridor, the little guy spoke again, touching Li Yue's fragile nerves.

"By the way, what did you call me just now?"

Li Yue's mind was racing: "Uncle... Mr. Secretary?"

"Hey, it sounds so good." The little guy was full of joy, and sat on the table with his iron chain raised, looking at the shadow cast on the ground - the shadow was enlarged and elongated, almost like the demon scribe himself.

The little guy also has a dream... Li Yue quickly disappeared around the corner, completing his first performance since his "transformation" without any danger, and remembered to learn more dialogues from the devil's illustrated book in the future.

[Analysis interrupted, save record]

Just at this moment, the alarm bell sounded.
