Chapter 353: Please, Do Not Mention the Ancient Ruins!
Faced with Lolth’s firm "modesty" and "refusal," the Demon King could only give up for the moment.
"Alright, then let’s do it your way, Dear Lolth!"
After all, the Demon King believes that with Lolth’s strength, she will surely achieve even greater merits in the future!
It really doesn’t matter for this opportunity of reward.
Now the Lady of Light and the leader of one of the three Grand Knight groups of The Church of Light has fallen into Dear Lolth’s hands…
So, Dear Lolth believes that these two will no longer achieve great feats; Ouwei does not believe that at all!
In the Demon King’s understanding, as long as the powerful and high-ranking duo of The Church of Light are in the hands of her trustworthy interrogator, they will turn from a troublesome enemy into an important strategic resource.
And according to the lessons learned from Isabella and Tina.
Although there is no evidence or indication, the Demon King always feels that the Lady of Light and her knight cannot escape becoming candidates for Lolth’s partner!
This is what her instinct as the Abyss Lord tells her.
And the Demon King’s instincts are usually very accurate!
Thinking of this made her even happier.
What could be more delightful than stealing the favor of the God of Light?
The Demon King has even imagined how she would mock the God of Light on the day when the Lady of Light becomes obsessed with Dear Lolth and falls into Abyssal Demon!
In a cheerful mood, the Demon King looked at Lolth and gently said again.
"Alright, Dear Lolth, if you don’t want those flashy rewards and honors, it’s fine, because you’ve never liked those things…"
The Demon King said this and began to think.
"However… as the Demon King and Abyss Lord, you have done so much, I can’t show no appreciation, can I? After all, I must be clear about rewards and punishments to win people’s respect!"
"Whether leading the Abyss or the Demon Army, I must do this to maintain my reputation."
When Lolth heard this, her expression changed slightly.
This sounded to her like "a death penalty can be avoided, but minor sins cannot escape punishment."
After all that, she still had to receive a reward!
And Lolth really wanted to complain…
Lord of the Demon King, are you a bit unclear about your own position?
Your reputation in the Demon Army and the Abyss is definitely not as closely related to your "fairness" and "clear rewards and punishments" as you think…
Lolth believes that if one must explain the high prestige of the Demon King and relate it to the eight words she mentioned, only the word "punishment" from "clear rewards and punishments" seems to fit.
The Demon King’s reputation is entirely built on her strong ability to enforce "clear rewards and punishments," especially the "punishments"!
The reason everyone listens to the Demon King is not just because this guy is stronger than the Barbarian Demon, faster than the Winged Demon, and has more powerful spells than the Shadow Fiend, capable of fighting eight Abyssal Kings and a dozen Abyssal Sovereigns without even catching a breath.
Basically, she can do everything that each demon race can do.
She can excel even more in the specialties of each demon race.
In the past, Lolth thought the Demon King might not compare to a succubus in terms of "beauty," but today she suddenly saw the face of the Lord of the Demon King…
In terms of beauty, it seems the Lord of the Demon King does not fall short compared to her own mother, sister, or aunts.
Because of this, no one in the Abyss knows exactly which race the current Demon King belongs to.
In fact… the appearance of this Lord of the Demon King is somewhat mysterious.
However, putting aside the Demon King’s background, what Lolth has to face now is how to make the "gift" from the Lord of the Demon King have almost no impact on her life.
"Dear Lolth, are you planning to gain the rights to explore ancient ruins, a Sacred Tool that suits you, or should we assign you a real army?"
"Or… should I find you some beautiful women from other races?"
The Demon King kindly asked.
Listening to the "options" given by the Demon King, although she thought they were all "real benefits," Lolth did not want to choose any of them.
Each option meant endless troubles to come!
The right to explore ancient ruins… sounds very tempting; Little Devil Doyle made her first fortune from this.
But Lolth knew very well that ancient ruins and dungeons are both the same type of place, just one is in a half-plane and the other is in the dangers of the main plane…
There are many similarities, and the most important one is that both are very dangerous!
And if I dig out something important again, turning it in is a credit, but not turning it in will make people keep an eye on me!
There’s no need to mention the Sacred Tool and the Legion.
The Demon King giving me something that boosts combat power feels very suspicious.
Lolth absolutely, absolutely will not fight directly!
This time, the Holy Maiden also fainted after eating the Abyss Daydream Fruit…
I only used one God of Light spell from start to finish; while knowing the God of Light spell is outrageous, the strength of the Holy Light seems a bit too much…
But I still lack direct combat power and command talent!
If I take the Sacred Tool or the Legion, then I would be falling into the Demon King’s trap!
In the next moment, I might be assigned to parachute into Eden Palace to carry out an assassination mission!
As for beautiful women from other races…
Although this is what Lolth really wants, she has already faced many troubles with "pretty girls."
The few captives from different countries have already caused her a lot of trouble!
All of her "achievements" have always been related to them!
Lolth absolutely, absolutely does not want to get involved with any new "beauties."
However, during this time, Lolth has already thought of what to say.
It is definitely not okay to want nothing at all…
So she should ask for something she really needs and that won’t cause any trouble!
"The Lord of the Demon King, I need money!"
Lolth looked at the Demon King and said very seriously.
"Please give me a lot of Abyssal Crystals— You see, Hillenbrand Town is still in need of development, everywhere needs money and materials!"
The Demon King looked around Hillenbrand Town, seeing this little town that clearly didn’t fit in with the mainland, and fell silent for a moment.
"Alright! Dear Lolth, you want magic crystals, I will give them to you!"
"Whatever amount you need, I will provide it!"
"As for materials… I am thinking of ancient ruins…"
Seeing the Demon King trying to change the topic, Lolth quickly spoke up.
"Wait a moment, the Lord of the Demon King, ancient ruins are not to be touched, right? Didn’t you already give those things from the Mercury Ruins to various Abyss Demon Legions for mining and exploration? Asking me to go now would be like taking from others’ cake— I can’t do that!"
