Chapter 142: He Feels a Little Sick Now
Hello, it’s like this: the winter weather is really very cold, and I need to burn some accounting receipts to keep warm.
When she returned to Demon King Castle, Lin Lin, who found herself dealing with a messy set of accounts, finally lost her mind.
When she was staring blankly at the fireplace while holding a pile of receipts, Caligo, who knocked and entered, paused.
"I advise you not to do something you’ll regret," Caligo stated objectively, his unusual colored eyes resting on the account book in Lin Lin’s hands.
Lin Lin quietly took the receipts back and placed them on the table again.
Caligo brought the documents to Lin Lin’s desk, "These are the cost-related papers from the last five days."
"Thank you…" Lin Lin sat back down, and Flame Slime skillfully jumped onto her lap. Lin Lin pressed down the flames on its head as they almost touched the papers, saying, "I can’t even imagine what would have happened if you hadn’t come to help."
"You would have thrown the ledger into the fireplace," Caligo replied.
"Thanks for the reminder," Lin Lin buried her head in the thick pile of papers.
Be positive, Lin Lin. Lin Lin kept cheering herself on.
At least in terms of work attitude, Caligo is much more reliable than some Demon King.
The Demon King is still dealing with his own mess, unrelated to the pressure from Safir.
Yes, because Lin Lin came back on the first night. She thought the red moon was a bit strange, but maybe it was a special Halloween skin from the demon realm.
Then she rested all night. When she got out of bed, the sky outside was still pitch black, showing no sign of daylight. The Red Moon remained eerie and still hanging in the sky.
Lin Lin realized that something was wrong.
The Demon King and Safir were not in the bedroom or the office; the person Lin Lin saw was Caligo.
Lin Lin finally understood that Safir had called Caligo away alone yesterday to assign these tasks.
"It’s not just this," Caligo said to Lin Lin, "Lord Safir wants me to honestly tell him everything happening in Demon King Castle."
It’s the role of "the teacher’s spy," Lin Lin thought, looking at the Dark Mage with mixed feelings, not daring to speak her true thoughts.
But indeed, if Lin Lin had to choose a spy, she would choose Caligo. At least Safir’s judgment was definitely correct.
To Lin Lin’s surprise, Red Dragon Layton had not left yet.
Lin Lin thought that once Layton gained freedom, he would immediately go outside to build a nest, but now the cold outside made the young Red Dragon lose interest.
The school had built many different areas to meet the living environment needs of different races, and Layton had been staying in the warm place that Red Dragons liked.
Putting aside the excitement of gaining freedom, everything calmed down. Layton shivered from the cold, sitting close to the fireplace in the guest room, while the Red Dragon, more afraid of the cold than the Sapphire Dragon, fell into a false hibernation.
The one who truly bears everything is Death Knight Orion.
While maintaining the basic order of Demon King Castle, he also has to worry about feeding two humans.
Orion’s pizza-making skills have improved a lot. Lin Lin and Caligo shared a pizza, and Orion kindly prepared bibs for them.
"Please don’t do that," Lin Lin firmly refused, "We are not the kind of people who eat carelessly."
Then, a slice of ham from the pizza fell onto Lin Lin’s pants.
It turned out that Orion knew Lin Lin’s eating habits better than she did.
Caligo watched the whole process and gained a deeper understanding of Lin Lin.
"There’s no need to tell Lord Safir about this small matter," Lin Lin emphasized to Caligo, receiving his absolute promise that he wouldn’t speak of it.
After finishing lunch, Lin Lin turned around to go back to her bedroom for a nap when she suddenly heard Orion and Caligo make surprised sounds at the same time.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Lin asked, turning her head.
"Don’t move," Caligo said, reaching out to touch the back of Lin Lin’s coat and pulling a black short string from it.
The black piece held by Caligo moved on its own without the wind.
Caligo handed the string to Lin Lin.
The string was cold and damp, giving off a faint black mist.
Lin Lin calmly looked at the slightly trembling string in her hand and said coldly, "Light Spell."
A white light flashed from her palm, and the string completely vanished into the air.
"Where is Your Majesty the Demon King?" Lin Lin asked Orion.
"It should be the roof," replied the Death Knight.
－
Although it was not night in the usual sense, with no sun, everything seemed just like evening.
The Demon King Castle had a special place for climbing to the roof to enjoy the view outside. Lin Lin reached there with ease and saw two men.
Safir sat calmly in a chair, reading a hardcover book. The strong wind on the roof did not affect his mood.
Your Majesty the Demon King was surrounded by swirling black mist, which spread endlessly outside the Demon King Castle.
After Lin Lin appeared, the usually calm Your Majesty the Demon King showed a pitiful expression, almost ready to cry, "Lin, I have been made to work by Safir."
"Isn’t that your job?" Lin Lin asked.
With outstretched hands, the young demon with violet eyes ran towards her, revealing deep sadness, "Lin is such a cold woman."
"I can become even more ruthless," Lin Lin said calmly, "Why is there a black line stuck on my back?"
The Demon King, who was originally running towards Lin Lin to greet her warmly, quickly turned around and started running back.
The Sapphire Dragon, who was focused on reading, finally shifted his attention to the two. Safir looked up, and the dark blue earring on his left ear gently swayed.
Lin Lin raised the magic wand in her hand, and a white light struck in front of the Demon King, stopping him from escaping.
When Lin Lin successfully grabbed the Demon King’s long hair, he hung his head down with a sad expression.
"Lin, can’t you not use light-type spells?" the Demon King questioned Lin Lin’s rapid growth.
"Because I just came back from studying in San Marco City," Lin Lin replied.
The Demon King developed a deeper hatred for San Marco City.
"Hurry up and tell me," Lin Lin pulled hard on the Demon King’s long hair, "What is that black line for?"
No matter how Lin Lin shook the Demon King back and forth, Your Majesty the Demon King firmly did not answer the question. Instead, Safir closed the book and looked at Lin Lin.
"He is marking your location," Safir explained, "He is currently in a Disordered Period, and I suggest you follow his lead."
The effect of the black line was expected by Lin Lin, so she was not surprised. Instead, the new term Safir mentioned caught her attention, "What does ‘Disordered Period’ mean?"
"It means what he is doing is not something he can control," Safir replied, looking towards the Demon King, "When something they have always wanted remains unfulfilled, the demon race can sometimes fall into a state of following their instincts."
"Generally, the demon race is fine; after all, they can’t cause too much impact. But Your Majesty the Demon King is a bit special."
Lin Lin also turned her gaze to the limp Demon King, and she stopped shaking him.
Not knowing if it was an illusion, Lin Lin felt that the Red Moon in the sky seemed to shine even brighter, and the wind swirling in the air felt colder.
Lin Lin recalled what Safir had said, that the Red Moon was how the demon realm returned to its original appearance.
Although Lin Lin did not have frequent contact with the residents of the demon realm, she knew that for the demon race, they were very accustomed to the difference between day and night, and having it always be night was also not suitable.
After Lin Lin let go, Your Majesty the Demon King bent down, reached out to hug Lin Lin around the neck, and rubbed his face against the top of her head.
Lin Lin looked at Safir and said, "He’s a bit gross right now."
Safir replied, "Just bear with it."
