I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle
#606 - Non-believers
Finally understanding the general situation of this "Chaos" continent, Li Yue at least knows that this is a world full of mystery, which also gives him reason to suspect that this body has an extraordinary origin, and its predecessor was likely a ruthless person...
In the future, he should still try to reduce large-scale actions like today.
"Someone just said I was an 'Unbeliever,' what does that mean? Someone who doesn't believe in Holy Oil?" Li Yue wasn't sure if Unbeliever was a term for a type of person, or just a nickname of his predecessor.
"A person without faith..." The old man trembled, not far from breathing his last, "Unbelievers are heretics to all believers, not belonging to any faith, they are the livestock and enemies of all of us..."
Li Yue had already heard of the Bone Carriage Sect, the Burden-Bearing Sect, the Masked Society, and so on, but only now did he realize that on this continent, people without faith are actually the minority, the heretics, the livestock.
Damn it, shouldn't Unbelievers be fresh blood fought over by various faiths? What a waste!
Li Yue mumbled to himself for a long time, becoming even more aware that this continent had exceeded logic and was full of killings.
The largest faith, the Papal Court, was destroyed by demons, so people can believe in whatever they want, and create a sect for whatever they believe in?
Like the Red Oil Sect that was just slaughtered...
"Isn't there an empire? Doesn't the empire care?"
"The empire practices the New Church... a New Church in conflict with the Old Papal Court... The New Church is spreading to the north..."
"We must establish a faith belonging to us... before the New Church spreads here..." The balding old man was very mission-driven.
Li Yue, on the other hand, looked at the mountain of charred corpses beside the pyre, and the deceased believers in the square, wondering what they were seeking.
"Okay, I understand. Finally, I have one more question, wait for me a moment..." Li Yue broke the old man's limbs even more, ensuring that he could not escape from the pyre by his own strength.
The old man's screams grew fainter and fainter.
Li Yue ran to Wendy's house, grabbed a map, and spread it out in front of the old man.
He also scraped some corpse oil from the ground and fed it to the old man.
The old man took a deep breath as if being resuscitated, regaining his spirit, and his contorted body actually showed signs of healing.
Li Yue wasn't sure if this was magic or something else, so he hurriedly broke the newly grown joints.
"Tell me about these places?" Li Yue used the old man's blood to draw a line on the map, containing 11 locations.
These 11 locations were exactly those marked on the map in his mind.
Li Yue was certain that this map was the standard cheat for his transmigration, so he had to understand it in advance to see if he could learn some information from the old man.
"This is Red Oil Town... the origin of our faith..." The balding old man naturally noticed Red Oil Town first.
Li Yue compared his own position with the semi-lit marker, confirming that the old man was not lying.
"We used to have abundant Red Oil here..."
"Okay, okay, next one." Li Yue had already heard the background story of Red Oil Town, as for what's here, he can carefully search after the old man dies.
"This is Riftgold Mountain, gathering many gold and silver mines, it is the main raw material production area for the empire's manufacturing of constructs, steam engine soldiers... clockwork warriors..."
Empire constructs? Mines?
Then compared to Red Oil Town, Riftgold Mountain should be under the control of the empire?
According to the old man's statement, Li Yue quickly judged the importance of Riftgold Mountain, even if he didn't know exactly what steam engine soldiers and clockwork warriors were.
Sounds like it should be steam-powered, gears and stuff?
He thought he wouldn't be afraid of guns and cannons, but he didn't expect to find some high technology of this continent.
I wonder if these hands, this body can handle it?
There are many things Li Yue is unsure of, but now he has reason to suspect that the cheat is guiding him to collect some resources?
After all, Red Oil Town and Riftgold Mountain are both some kind of unique production area, the commonality of these two locations is easy to find.
"This is Low Mountain, once occupied by a group of mercenaries..." The old man pointed to Low Mountain on the map.
"What does it produce?" Li Yue carefully asked according to his speculation.
"It produces... thieves and hunters?" The old man couldn't say much about Low Mountain either.
"Heroes?"
"Hmm..."
Are heroes some kind of special product...?
Li Yue wasn't sure.
"Oh, I remember!" The old man looked at the corpse oil in Li Yue's hand, as if addicted to something.
Li Yue hurriedly filled the old man's mouth, and after he swallowed it, continued to break his body.
"Low Mountain... for a period of time... used to produce bones..." The old man touched a distant memory, "Very magical bones! Bones that can heal themselves!"
"The bone tree comes from a tall bone tree, there are ribs, skulls, scapula..." The old man seemed to be reciting a menu.
Li Yue didn't understand at all, but seeing that the old man didn't seem to be joking, he had to write down this information, while reserving his own speculation.
Red oil, minerals, bones... what does the cheat want these things for?
Moreover, red oil and bones have all stopped being produced, he can't make them himself, right?
Fortunately, the "Low Mountain" marker is lit, which proves that Li Yue should have come from Low Mountain, and may have already completed the task given by the cheat.
"This is the Belt River, once the Papal Court's inner harbor, distributing various goods to the empire and the Sand Kingdom..." The old man said, twitching his body.
"But I advise you not to go to the Belt River, because it has been completely occupied by the empire, it is the place where the empire and the Demon King City are fighting..."
"Many refugees are running over from there... yes, he came from the Belt River..." The old man pointed to a batch of corpses at the bottom of the charred corpse mountain.
Oh? His fingers can move?
Li Yue hurriedly broke them.
"Are there any special products?" Li Yue recognized that the Belt River was a transportation hub, but it didn't seem to find the absolute commonality with Red Oil Town, Low Mountain, and Riftgold Mountain.
The old man was silent, unable to remember.
"In the past, red oil and minerals... were mostly sent away through the Belt River, but now the empire's railway has been laid to the Belt River, and the port there is no longer important..."
"Forget it, next one." Li Yue had already realized that it didn't make sense to start from the perspective of "resources" alone.
"Further south, this is Mist Marsh..." The old man circled a black area on the map with his oil-stained tongue, "But this map is a bit outdated, Mist Marsh used to be the moat of the Demon King City, there are many corpses and demons inside..."
"But when the imperial army arrived at Mist Marsh, it is said that a great mage filled Mist Marsh, breaking through the defense of the Demon City..."
"A great mage... is the most powerful hero?" Li Yue assessed the combat power of the Chaos Continent.
"Uh... yes, a ninth-order mage is a great mage." The old man didn't seem to know much about the Seven Rivers, nor did he know the existence of the Dark Star Society, and couldn't provide Li Yue with more information.
Heroes have ranks, different routes, it should be the mainstream cultivation of this continent...
Could it be that his predecessor was a hero?
"Then... this is..." The old man saw Li Yue's silence and prepared to introduce the next location.
"Wait a moment." Li Yue's hand suddenly tightened, breaking the old man's wrist.
"I'm a little curious..." Li Yue thought of another question.
