I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Egg flew like this, piercing through the mist, overlooking the death town of Deshler, flying higher and higher…

But just as it was about to fly out of the edge of the town and plunge into the endless woodland outside, Egg suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if an invisible hand was holding the egg flying in the air.

Egg began to fall.

Li Yue also fell out of the shadow space in an instant, waiting for Egg below with Yingying.

Just as it was about to smash into the ground, in order to avoid the loud noise attracting unnecessary trouble, Yingying and Li Yue exerted their strength together and gently caught Egg. The three demons looked at each other on the edge of the town.

“What’s going on?” Egg clearly broke through the mist and was about to plunge into the outside world. It couldn’t understand why it turned into a fall.

“As expected, it won’t work…” Li Yue murmured.

“What happened?” Egg was above, and there was clearly nothing unusual, so it had the deepest doubts in its heart.

“Lord of Authority, can’t leave the city without permission?” Yingying wrote down her guess.

“It should be so…” Just as the shadow was about to cross the edge of the town, a suction force from the Demon King City suddenly stopped the shadow, which also prevented the Egg in the air from breaking through and quickly falling.

And in the instant when he was pulled out of the shadow space, everything in the library in his mind suddenly became clear, presenting a vortex shape; the magic power from the library was like an abyss, pulling Li Yue so that he could not escape, and the authority took effect.

“It seems… even if the Demon Expeditionary Army is launched, the Great Pillar or the Small Pillar cannot leave the city without authorization.” Li Yue originally wanted to verify the second question in his mind when launching the cannonball, and now he finally got the answer.

“Then you can’t go out and play with us.” Egg pressed Li Yue’s skull with particles, comforting Li Yue.

“Who knows? The mist in Death Town has been pierced by us, maybe one day… the Lord of Authority can also travel outside at will?” Li Yue chuckled.

The “Contract” in the town square takes effect on the traders who come, and the mist is the source of this contract. When Li Yue and the others fired the cannon in the auction hall, the mist gave priority to protecting the traders, and was unable to stop Li Yue and the others from leaving, allowing them to temporarily escape.

And after competing with the mist of the entire Demon Market, the eggshell of Egg has been rippling constantly, as if it has not yet escaped from the pull of the giant force, and there is a faint abnormality.

At this moment, the three demons are in the back alley of the tavern on the edge of Deshler Town. The robe given by the mist has rotted, and Li Yue wriggled his flesh to change his appearance, giving up the identity of Grandet—the sand country merchant Abeid will definitely be questioned, and pretending to be Grandet again would be too disrespectful to the Demon Market.

Besides, Grandet’s introducer is the town chief. Even if the town chief forgets the Lord of Brain Spirit, he can always find out if he investigates, so he must be careful on the way back to the library, especially when there is a “butler” staring at him.

Now that it has been confirmed that he cannot leave the city, Li Yue can only silently cultivate his own acre of land in the library and launch an attack on the Great Pillar.

“Where’s the cannon?” Egg asked Yingying, wanting to fire another shot.

“Give it back to him, that butler is staring at him, he needs it more than us.” Yingying knew that the Demon Market would not give up so easily, and the trouble would inevitably fall on Li Yue in the future, so it’s better to give it to the library.

While writing, Yingying first spat out the magic cannon from the shadow space, and Li Yue was not polite, directly placing the magic cannon properly in his stomach while piecing together a new human form.

While putting it away, Li Yue felt… he was becoming more and more like Budiborg, especially after getting the freak puzzle—the cannon body of the magic cannon was embedded in Li Yue’s body, leaving only a cannon mouth protruding from his chest.

In order to fit the magic cannon, Li Yue also needs to enlarge the freak puzzle by two circles, making his whole body look very strange, out of proportion; he is also hunchbacked, with a small head shrunk into his shoulders, like a giant monster.

It seems… we will eventually become the people we hate.

“Ah… that butler… I really want to be stabbed by his dagger, wouldn’t I be able to become a member of the Demon Market?” Egg called out, “Can I also become a Lord of Authority then?”

“He doesn’t want to stab you, he’s coming for him.” Yingying has already judged his target from the butler’s shadow trajectory.

“Are you okay?” Li Yue knew that there was still a magic motorcycle, a Holy Knight’s long sword, a Syndrami amulet, an invitation to the Demon Ball, a prophet from Fire Valley… and a Lamont relic in the shadow space.

Just now, when they were in the shadow space together, Li Yue had already sensed that the Lamont relic was restless and was about to whip the other ones to death at any time, and the remaining spoils were conflicting with each other, and the seal was crumbling, so he asked about Yingying’s state.

“Put these few things with you first, the others are fine.” Yingying said, and spat out the invitation to the Demon Ball and the magic motorcycle, and Li Yue put them into his stomach, together with the clattering gold coins.

Until now, Li Yue hasn’t spent any money, but he has taken the best auction items of the first night of the Demon Market.

“Right! Loot!” Egg became even more excited when he saw the two spoils.

The three demons have gained a lot from this trip, and their division of labor and cooperation are smooth and flowing, so of course there is no lack of the step of dividing the spoils.

“Magic cannon… thank you, come back to play anytime.” Li Yue certainly wouldn’t refuse Yingying’s kindness, and then mentioned his real needs, “I want to ask the Fire Valley prophet some questions, you can take it after asking.”

“It doesn’t matter if the rest are given to you.” Li Yue has no need for the magic motorcycle, Holy Knight’s long sword, amulet, and invitation.

“…” Yingying was silent for a moment, not knowing what to do with these things—compared to Li Yue, Yingying actually enjoys the process of doing things more.

“Then give it to Mini and Minnie.” Yingying treated it like casually handling a pile of toys.

“Yes, give it to them, we’ll come back to play anytime.” Egg’s particles were swaying randomly, and Li Yue was a little dazed—this must be the result that the people in the auction hall… can’t imagine.

Touching the two saws hanging around his waist, Li Yue suddenly felt that he couldn’t take them out.

“It was a nice date.” Yingying circled around Li Yue, and by the way, helped Li Yue knead the freak puzzle into a crooked face, a cracked mouth, and a tumor on his head.

Li Yue was amazed by Yingying’s aesthetics, but didn’t make any changes.

“Having a butler with a knife constantly approaching is indeed a bit annoying.” Li Yue knew that the butler’s speed was not fast, but the thought that he was still approaching while they were chatting made him feel a little irritable.

“It can be even more fun!” Egg jumped up, “Let’s go and hammer that butler to death!”

“Wait, what did we come here to do?” Yingying pressed down on Egg.

“Rob!” Egg’s particles were still flamboyant.

“Did you rob it?” Yingying took the spoils out of the shadow space one by one and swallowed them back.

“We robbed it! And it’s the best one tonight!” Egg certainly knew what the auction hall meant—the essence of the first day of the Demon Market, at this moment, except for a lucky demon merchant who is still in the auction hall, everything else has been taken by the library family.

“Then don’t go?” Yingying was clear and logical, and becoming more and more like a lady, “When we return to the library, hammer that butler to death, and we’ll join the Demon Expeditionary Army.”

Is Yingying stalling?

Li Yue pondered for a moment, feeling that Yingying’s arrangement was fine, but Egg’s needs… could also be met together—during the process of wriggling and transforming, Li Yue had been paying attention to everything in the tavern, and listening, he heard a very interesting topic.

“Although the butler is annoying, he’s not fast, can you calculate how long it will take him to catch up?” Li Yue asked Yingying, and by the way, transmitted the general map of Deshler to her.

“I’ll remind you at any time.” Yingying spread out the map, marking the straight-line distance between the three and the butler.

“We still have a little time, we can stay in Deshler for a while longer.” Li Yue said, and relayed the heartfelt thoughts he had just heard from the tavern to Egg and Yingying.

“I don’t know how many bandits have gathered on Black Slope at this year’s Demon Market… and how many good things can be robbed?” In the tavern, someone was discussing.

So the hunchbacked Li Yue stretched out his two giant palms and pushed open the door of the tavern.
