Chapter 15

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The night wind was restless and constantly whistling.

Joey was not in the mood to sleep. He was thinking about the possibility of communicating with the rat people. He walked to the top of the castle and opened the mosaic glass window. The white moonlight turned pale pink through the blood mist of the castle and scattered on his shoulders.

There was a deep darkness under him. The specks of red light were the flickering eyes of the demons.

A few demons were scattered in the darkness of the castle territory, guarding against the possible night attacks of the rat people.

Because the strength of demons would increase immensely in the night, Joey had also sent Little Shorty and Little Tall out to hunt and level up as well.

Moreover, he also did not think that the rat people, who only had level 3 or 4 combat strength, would dare to invade his castle, as he was obviously a big boss-level villain.

At this time, all the food on the shelves in the trading space had been sold out. Unfortunately, he did not have any high-level materials. He did not even get a piece of refined iron.

As for the acquisition of refined iron, he was also blind. He did not know what kind of things he could get by mining directly or whether he had to forge something. It would be great if it was dropped by farming monsters. He did not have to worry at all.

“I found a sneaky rat!”

Little Smart appeared behind Joey without him knowing.

“He’s simply courting death.”

Joey slowly walked down the stairs. He wasn’t worried about the demons under him at all.

When he walked to the square, he realized that he had only caught a single rat.

The large army of rat people didn’t come as he had expected.

He didn’t know whether he should feel lucky or regretful.

Before Joey could even ask anything, the rat quickly told him everything.

It turned out that they were a group of slave rats who could not bear the oppression and had escaped. They had accidentally discovered this territory.

“Please take us in as your subjects!”

Joey was indifferent as he looked at the rat’s eyes that were rolling with tears.

“What abilities do you have? I don’t need serfs. No lord would take in useless slaves, let alone subjects with higher status.”

“We can mine and forge. I only hope that the Lord’s oppression isn’t as harsh as the clan’s!”

The rat appeared very sincere. Joey ordered him to be locked up first.

After settling the rat’s matter, Joey began to deal with the friend requests.

After clearing it with a single click, only a day had passed and there were tens of thousands of friend requests. It made one’s scalp go numb.

After a few casual glances, he had deleted almost all of them, leaving behind only a few applications that had been filtered through the search engine.

There was only one person who seemed to be more reliable who had agreed to his application and sent out relevant inquiries.

..

The next day, of course, he had to summon new demons at the beginning.

Four ordinary red-eyed demons had appeared consecutively, and Joey was too lazy to even name them. He had directly made them follow the four heavenly kings of Tall, Short, Fat, and Skinny to become glorious demon recruits.

The last one.

A dazzling red light flashed.

Joey widened his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

A black-clothed figure with small demon wings appeared and bathed in the blood pool.

[ Succubus (low-level)]

[ Demon type: Auxiliary Control Wizard ]

[ Level 7]

[ Absolute loyalty ]

[ Characteristics: Gentle ]

[ Ability: Succubus illusion. Can interfere with the target’s cognition. The specific level is affected by the target’s strength and will. ]

[ Ultimate form: Succubus God ]

“Very good! It’s a relatively rare demon!”

“I’ve long heard of the famous special demon. Its strength is definitely not too weak, not to mention that it was level seven from the start. It’s even more powerful than Little Smart!”

“Just by looking at the title of the ultimate form, to be able to have a god in the race’s name, it must be an existence that can act as an ultimate soldier!”

Joey stared at the succubus in the surging blood pool. Compared to the demons he had summoned previously, she was closer to the image of a human. Her pure white face was flowing with scarlet liquid, and her eyes that were flashing with red light had a soul-stirring beauty.

The succubus stood up and stared blankly at Joey.

“I’ll call you Liang!”

“Yes, master.”

“Liang, quickly follow the others out of the city to hunt!”

“Yes! Master!”

Liang soared into the air, splashing some liquid as he headed straight out of the city.

After letting the main force take charge of leveling, Joey brought Little Smart and the rat to the camp of the rat people outside the city.

“Lowly rat people!”

Little Smart chanted with emotion as before he was the rat people who were bowing to the ground.

“You are a group of slaves who have been bullied and abused by your own clans.”

“Now, it is my Lord who has saved you.”

“You should offer up your weak lives and absolute loyalty. Otherwise, there will only be endless torture waiting for your souls.”

“Your souls belong to my Lord.”

“Our souls belong to my Lord!”

All the rat people chanted together, expressing their allegiance to Joey.

They even signed soul contracts willingly.

The rat priest offered his staff. “We are no longer be accepted by any clan. We can only submit to the Lord.”

“The pursuit of the clan and the hostility of the other clans will bury us completely.”

Joey picked up his staff. The gemstone inlaid on it was actually a demon crystal that was necessary to upgrade the demon blood pool!

Although these rat people were in a dilemma, they still offered some materials. For the sake of the demon crystal, it was not a big deal to give them some food.

“I hope you can prove your value to us.”

“There are a few technicians from our workshop. They should not disappoint master.”

The rat people seemed very confident, or it was perhaps because they were no longer afraid of death.

A large amount of meat was distributed, causing the rat people to feel gratitude and worship Joey.

“Even the demon lord is far better than the brutal slave masters of our clan!”

“What’s the use of a soul! If it can give me the power to destroy the clan, I would rather give my soul to master!”

“Great ruler!”

..

Joey received a message from his good friend.

Liz: “I have a stable source of refined iron!”

Joey quickly replied, “Tell me more in detail!”

Liz: “My territory is in the forest of the mountains, and my soldiers are dwarves who are good at mining and smelting!”

“The surrounding areas of my territory are rich in mineral resources, but there is a lack of food, so I hope to make a big deal with Joey, currently the most powerful food supplier in the entire continent!”

Joey: “Alright, I’ll take all of your refined iron. Name your price!”

Liz: “One unit of food for two units of refined iron!”

Joey was stunned for a moment. “I asked for a price of one to one yesterday! Why did you lower your price?”

Liz: “I believe in your potential and future. What I’m looking for is a long-term partnership!”

Joey: “I didn’t expect that. Then I’ll personally pay you an additional batch of resources! I also believe in your potential!”

Liz: “What resources?”

Joey: “Enough energy stones for you to upgrade your barracks to level 2! Hurry up and recruit more soldiers! Do your best to refine ores and get enough food!”

In the Stone City that was high on the mountain, Lolly was sitting on the head seat that was carved out of jade.

“This time, I’m betting on the right thing. I’m going to make it big!”
