I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

After removing the nails and stitching the wound, Li Yue decided to visit Holad first thing tomorrow morning to accept the commission and escape the curfew.

Then he would think about how to get that talking box.

The basement had a simple washroom. Li Yue fed the three men some bread, left them some food and water, and left with the old woman.

“Building trust between us takes time. I hope you don’t make any unnecessary moves.” Of course, Li Yue was going upstairs to catch up on sleep. He also specifically told the old woman to be good and not to try to rescue the three men.

“But they are in this state now…” The old woman saw that the three men couldn't move and wasn't sure how they would go to the bathroom.

“They can take care of it on the spot. I believe they can manage their own affairs…” Li Yue, as if he were in his own home, found a lock from the cabinet behind the bar, locked the basement door, and destroyed the extra keys, keeping only one with him.

The old woman was stunned—this traveler came to her hotel, kidnapped three children, and then imprisoned them on the spot?

Did he think it was his store?

But the old woman's only request now was to save the lives of the three men, so she didn't say much.

“Trust, trust can save your lives.” Li Yue pointed to his head and went upstairs leisurely.

On the way to the mansion, Li Yue also saw the light of the map markers in his mind gradually spreading…

Li Yue lay on the bed, occasionally using his clairvoyance to check on the old woman. Seeing that she was indeed asleep, he felt relieved and slept until dawn.

Although the night was deep, the main street was brightly lit, with new Church of the New Faith followers coming and going, it was indeed not a time to go out for a stroll.

But in the next second, Ning Yong, who was standing at the street corner, was in trouble.

“You are not, who is he?” Ning Yonghe's voice was loud, one could imagine how he used to boss the workers around on the mine.

The old woman found a simple small bed from the bar and lay down on the spot.

The newspaper was the “Seven Mine Morning Post”, with the same commission list as the signboard of the Iron Corner Inn, plus some GG, obituaries, and missing person notices, and so on.

No one knew where this demon's expedition would reach—last time, the First and Seventh Expeditionary Forces attacked the entire Papal Court, but the empire did not intervene, what about this time?

The page adjacent to the headline was the news that the armory next to Seven Mine was back in operation, which also echoed the report.

From the commercial street of the Iron Mine Town all the way to the residential area, Ning Yong found that the buildings here were much rougher than the commercial street.

For the townspeople of Iron Mine Town, this was good news at first glance—compared to transporting the minerals to the empire silently, supporting the war was more profitable.

“Um… let’s reveal it, anyway, no one wants to take it.” Holad took the pen and slowly signed his name on the commission form.

“You are a hero?” Ning Yonghe rubbed his eyes, looked Ning Yong up and down, and felt that his image was closer to a hero.

“Take it away!” After signing, Holad closed the door directly and went back into the house to continue his fierce battle.

Moreover, to Li Yue's surprise, the “Bard Convention” was prominently announced in the “Seven Mine Morning Post”—the convention would be held in Holy Mine Town in Seven Mine, the date was to be determined, and subsequent announcements would be made, sincerely inviting bards and excellent listeners from all over the world to participate.

The movement of the entire body suddenly slowed down, as if turning into slow motion.

Li Yue even felt that if he told the old woman at Iron Corner this news, she would probably let the eight children become workers in the armory, bidding farewell to this kind of kidnapping business…

Everything was finally on the right track.

“Traveler? What new road?” Holad scratched his head.

After collecting the commission and picking up the newspaper, Li Yue walked to the town hall in the center of town while reading it, to register the commission.

According to the information obtained from the interviews with many reporters, there would soon be another expedition to the Demon King's City, and humans needed to prepare as soon as possible.

The range of the Eternal Night spread from the original site of the Demon King's City to the edge of the Misty Marsh, approaching the Belt River, which meant that the Demon King's City was preparing for war.

Even though almost everyone who fired was already a believer.

The end of the headline left such a question, could anyone in Iron Mine Town give the answer.

On the way to the town hall, Li Yue had already seen many townspeople rushing to the armory to sign up.

The Church of the New Faith was eight stories higher than the town hall, making the town hall seem like just a small house.

People came and went at the entrance of the church, and the townspeople who had become believers had just finished their morning prayers and were socializing. At the same time, some believers were distributing leaflets on the street corner.

Li Yue used his clairvoyance for a moment, seeing the layout and furnishings inside Holad's house, seeing the layers of thick sheets and the perfume and skin care products in the washroom, he knew that although the townspeople were in deep water, the war had not affected the mine chief's life too much.

“This is your newspaper…” While Holad was signing, Li Yue pointed to the newspaper on the ground, “Can I take a look…”

“Yes, the formal commission requires your authorization…” Li Yue needed Holad to sign his name, so he took out the pen he brought from the Iron Corner Inn.

Our injuries are recovering well, after all, we can't stand up and walk, we can only eat, drink, and sleep.

“Mr. Holad?” Li Yue greeted.

There were even newspapers at the door.

After finally instructing the old woman and saying hello to Skinny, Li Yue followed the address on the commission sign to find Holad's mansion.

Li Yue felt that this route was quite smooth.

“Soon! Don’t shout! You’ll have a good time to shout later!” Ning Yonghe shouted back, and then expressed his intention to Li Yue’s statement, “You want to accept my commission?”

Early the next morning, Li Yue opened the basement door again, let the old woman go in to clean, and also fed the eight women food and water.

“My name is Li, I am a traveler…” Li Yue said, taking out the “Fractured Construction Site” commission form from his arms.

Li Yue was not a bard, but he was sure that he must be an excellent listener.

The headline that occupied the largest space was the sequel to the war with the Demon King's City.

But if you look closely, you must be afraid.

After reading the newspaper, Li Yue also quickly came to the town hall of Iron Mine Town, but what first caught his eye was not the town hall, but the Church of the New Faith standing beside it.

The townspeople and the white-robed believers crossed rhombuses on top of their heads, all of them looked very pious and irritable; at the same time, some believers were distributing leaflets on the street corner.

After pressing the doorbell, a stout woman with a beard and bloodshot eyes walked out, looking very weak.

“Honey, come quickly~” At this time, Ning Yong heard a soft voice coming from the room.

“Regarding your commission… I am very interested.”

“It seems that the life of the young mine chief is still good…”

Just right, I can use clairvoyance on the church to see what the New Faith is…

The article stated that the goal of the Seven Town Armory was to produce 400 steam engine soldiers and 400 clockwork warriors per month. The engineers from the Creation Department would train and guide the workers, and they would also provide meals and accommodation, which was very tempting.

If Li Yue wanted to go to the town hall to register the commission, he would have to get close to the church and get close to the believers who were distributing leaflets on the street corner.

“I am a traveler.” Ning Yong corrected Holad’s slip of the tongue.

There seemed to be some kind of force preventing his footsteps.
