Clayman is very confident about the taste of cakes and cookies, but like most of the food here, they are not the best delicacies. It seems that Milim's usual food is very bad.
Clayman, who has low combat effectiveness as a Demon King, took note of this. Any lack of strength needs to be made up for by other aspects.
However, this time, she didn't do anything but got it right, allowing him to save herself. Milim is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, and she has the skill of [Dragon Eye] to see the truth clearly. If she gave the snacks with evil intentions,
, the possibility of being noticed immediately is not small.
After Milim and Veldora joined, it took some time before the food was all gone.
"Oh, if I had known better, I wouldn't have sent Shuna away. It would be the virtuous Shuna who is the most suitable to take care of this kind of demon king." Cronpis thought in her mind and left the matter of taking care of Milim to Veldora.
, ordered his subordinates to send Clayman and his subordinates to rest.
late at night--
The three masked men of "Mediocre Clown", Laplace, Tia and Folkman, secretly approached Clayman to discuss the future.
Clayman felt very good about himself at this time and ambitiously introduced his newly formulated plan to awaken the Demon Lord to the three of them. By the way, he would also have the opportunity to dominate some human countries and conquer the territories of other Demon Lords.
Everyone at "Medium Clown" was very surprised by this.
Tia persuaded: "Does Clayman plan to use up Myulan's final value here? Really, excellent props should be used with care."
Laplace said worriedly: "Is this... really something you thought of and decided on your own? This is very dangerous. Once you lose control, you will have to bear the wrath of multiple demon kings and even 'dragons'."
"Don't worry. I will be careful and I will definitely succeed this time." Clayman was full of confidence.
He has not lost his mind. Indeed, that is the best plan now that he cannot challenge the Demon Kingdom.
The three of them were old acquaintances with Clayman, and they also knew how he always felt about himself being the weakest among them. They warned him to be more careful while preparing to discuss how the three of them could help Clayman reduce risks and achieve his goals.
.
"Dong dong dong!" At this time, the door rang.
"How could it be! I didn't feel anything before!"
"This is definitely not a waiter!"
"I'm afraid the person who came here is evil!"
The three "Mediocre Clowns" became vigilant. They were all very powerful, stronger than several demon kings of the new generation among the ten demon kings. People were already outside the door. It was hard not to notice when [Magic Perception] was fully activated.
normal.
"I'm Claudius. I have important matters that should be settled before the official meeting tomorrow. Come on in." Claudius pushed the door open and looked at the few people under the masks who must have bad expressions.
"Oh, who are these? One of them seems to have appeared in the report?"
Clayman said: "They are the 'Mediocre Clowns', a hiring organization like the Master House. This time I hired them as my bodyguards. If you and the 'Medium Clowns' had any conflicts in the past, please at least don't settle the matter here."
.”
In fact, they are in the same group. Clayman was originally a member of the "Mediocre Clown" and became the Demon King when it was conducive to his pursuit. But these things will naturally not be mentioned here.
"You guys should step aside first. What's the important matter for Mr. Crownpis' late-night visit?" Clayman asked the three of them to retreat to both sides, and then sat upright and said to Mr. Crownpiss.
"You might not believe it, so I'll go ahead and do it. This is a bit tricky. Ordinary mental magic doesn't seem to work. You can't even do it secretly. Just be more violent and use [Soul Operation [modify]
spirit]].”
Cronpis reached out unceremoniously and opened the magic circle at Clayman.
Clayman's expression suddenly turned painful, he covered his head with one hand and muttered.
"What did you do to Clayman!"
The "Mediocre Clown" went to check on Clayman's condition alone, and the two of them stood in front of Crounpis, on guard, glaring at each other angrily.
"I...I actually," Clayman let go of his head, clenched his fists, and said angrily, "I was actually mentally manipulated by those businessmen from the East before! Indeed, this plan is not a plan that can be completed without any flaws.
, obviously everyone can see it, but the reason why I am so confident is..."
"Oriental merchant! Could it be that-" Many possibilities flashed through Laplace's mind.
Eastern merchants are very good at indirectly revealing some information during transactions and triggering some events that will lead to directions that will be beneficial to them in the future. They all know this, but they also know that some merchants actually have close ties with the high-level officials of the Eastern Empire.
There are countless people in the Eastern Empire who are more powerful than Clayman, both of whom can be counted on two hands.
Clayman is the richest among the demon kings and the best at doing business. He does business with Western countries and the Eastern Empire at the same time, so it is not surprising that they have the opportunity to attack Clayman.
Now that the Eastern Empire is planning to invade the West, the news of Veldora's appearance has spread, which is undoubtedly an obstacle. Then provoke the conflict between the Demon King Clayman, the Demon Kingdom and the Western Holy Church, and let them fight first
, there will be a wave of internal strife, no matter who wins, it will be very beneficial to the Eastern Empire.
Of course, the premise of the above speculation is that Clayman's consciousness at this time was real after Cronpis cast that magic on Clayman.
"Sorry, Laplace, Tia, Folkman. After confirming the strong people here and Veldora, I really should stay here, I..." Clayman seemed to still be thinking
What to say, he immediately stopped talking when he saw Crounpis here.
"Hehe, let me guess what you want to do." Crownpis stretched out her hand and counted out the things Clayman wanted to do one by one with her fingers -
1. Establish diplomatic relations with the demon kingdom of Hecatia Tempest and do business with each other. The demon kingdom has a large number of specialties that are expensive and in demand in human countries. With Clayman’s long-term business path, he can completely legitimately do business with them.
Cooperation between magic countries achieves a win-win situation and mutual benefits;
Second, once the market of the demon country begins to seize the market of the major human countries, it will inevitably attract the attention of the major human countries and the Western Holy Church. Since it is a country of monsters that threatens the interests of human countries, it will naturally come to crusade, and a war will break out;
Third, Clayman can fight side by side with the Demon Kingdom in the name of the alliance. Since the plan to obtain the Pig-Headed Demon King has been ruined by the Demon Kingdom, and he is not strong enough to take action against the Demon Kingdom, he will collect a large number of souls from this new war.
Therefore, awakening as a true demon king is also a way.
Fourth, the puppet country Kistau is not bordering the Western countries. Even if there is a possibility of defeat, the demon country will be damaged. If it wins, Clayman's puppet country Kistau will be able to extend its power into the Western countries.
