"What a leisure time."
The time was probably in the afternoon.
The devil lay on the jade throne, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The snow outside the city has melted for two days, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. It must be a warm and nice weather outside the dim royal hall.
But it was this kind of good weather and the sound of Li Mo writing furiously that brought heavy tiredness.
"I said it's time to have some free time."
The Demon King lazily turned sideways, curled up with his hands wrapped around his legs, and placed it right in the middle of the armrest of the Amyrlin, as if it was custom-made.
A depressed expression appeared on his dull face, and he glanced unhappily at Li Mo's back sitting on the steps in front of the throne.
"Um."
But what he got was a nonchalant answer from Li Mo.
The pen in his hand kept writing, without even looking back at himself.
"Ah, ah, ah, it's so boring! It's so boring!"
The Demon King stood up from the throne, with traces of the throne still on her peach cheeks. She raised her eyebrows, curled her mouth, and shook her head to attack Li Mo with her beautiful long silver hair.
well--
Li Mo sighed deeply.
Putting down the antique pen in his hand, he turned around and looked helplessly at the Demon King who seemed to want to complain more than himself.
"Lord Demon King, I am already sitting here with you."
"But you didn't talk to Yu at all, refused to play with Yu, and just kept writing here and there!"
Then a solid, extremely impatient click of the tongue clearly reached Li Mo's ears.
"I don't want to either, but this is an important job."
Li Mo's back, which had always been straight, slumped slightly, and he looked away with a subtle smile.
"But, Ali, isn't your job just to shamelessly find those guys who have escaped?"
The Demon King tilted his head in confusion.
"Master Demon King, I hope you can change your words. Please don't talk about people as if they are licking dogs. Who am I cleaning up the mess for?"
After hearing what Lord Demon King said, veins popped up on Li Mo's forehead.
That's right, one of the basic tasks of Li Mo, the strongest general, is to shamelessly invite back the demon soldiers of the Demon King's Castle who were forced away by the Demon King.
but,
Li Mo raised the reading board with thick documents in his hand and tapped it with two fingers.
There is something densely packed with comments on it, and the handwriting is quite beautiful, but it just makes people feel like they don't want to look at it.
In fact, the Demon King didn't even read a word of it.
"This is a serious job of the Demon King's Army. It already involves the frontline defense of the army and the economy of our Demon King's City. So please, Lord Demon King, please don't disturb me."
snort--
After snorting with his nose, the Demon King fell on the jade throne again, with his back to Li Mo.
Her soft waist-length silver hair and white dress with silk edges completely wrapped her curled up slender body, like a fussing and aggrieved little white cat.
"Speaking of which, how did Yumen Demon King City's economy come about? A Li is obviously a Nite."
"Who is Nite?"
Li Mo knew that Nite was a term spread from another world, referring to those old people who had nothing to do all day long and refused to go to school or work, but he did not think that the Demon King was qualified to say such a thing.
but,
The Demon King has never been interested in these things, so he probably just wanted to pass the time when he brought up this issue.
Although it is a delay, this might be a good opportunity.
"Hey, Lord Demon King, how about I test your basic knowledge of the Demon King's army?"
"Hey——, who wants to play with such boring things?"
He changed his tone and refused without hesitation.
Even with her back turned, Li Mo could see her disgusted expression.
"Don't say that. If you answer all the questions correctly, how about I reward you with one yuan?"
The Demon King's eyes flashed fiercely, and like a beast that pounced on its prey, he leaped down from the throne and entangled himself on Li Mo's back:
"What are you waiting for? Why haven't you started yet?"
"Oh...oh, let's start right away."
Li Mo picked up the Demon King and placed her on the steps beside him. His dark red eyes slightly looked to the side, thinking about questions suitable for the Demon King.
"Although I'm a little worried, Demon King should also know the layout of Demon King's continent. Hey... Demon King, why are you clenching your fists!"
"Because I want to flatter you."
An expression of impatience instantly appeared on the Demon King's face.
Li Mo knew that she was not joking and would really get beaten if she didn't say something.
"Then...since the Demon King knows, you might as well tell me, even if I don't know."
The bored Demon King narrowed his eyes and retracted his fist, raised his head and pointed his chin at Li Mo:
"In this case, it doesn't mean that I can't tell you the territory of the Demon King's Continent. Isn't it the land of wind, but also...the land of fire, the land of water, and the land of earth."
Squeaking, stumbling, but finally gathering the answer.
Li Mo smiled bitterly, it seemed that his worries were not exaggerated.
"It's not wrong to say that. The Demon King's Continent is basically divided into four large areas from north to south and east to west. The land of wind 'Sylph' in the west, the land of fire 'Salemanda' in the east, and the land of water in the north.' Undine', the Land of the South, 'Nome'."
Looking at the Demon King with his hands folded and a proud look on his face, Li Mo knew that she would be hit next.
"However, it cannot be wrong or right! There is also a very special area in the Demon King's Continent."
"Huh? Apart from the four major districts, where else can we come from!"
The Demon King let out a short cry of mourning. She had never heard of such a thing.
He anxiously clapped his fingers and recalled the places he could remember. When he saw that the reward he had received was about to fly away, Li Mo spoke:
"Yes, it is very close to us. It is not managed by any of the four major districts. It is the smallest but most powerful special area."
"Ah! It can't be..."
Lord Demon King woke up from a dream under Li Mo's prompting, and exclaimed unconsciously, the answer was already coming out.
"Demon King's Castle."
Regarding the Demon King's answer, Li Mo nodded and agreed.
"Yes, our Demon City is the most special fifth district in the center. We manage the other four districts uniformly, but we cannot directly interfere with the governance methods of its lords or directly implement the politics of other districts. In contrast, other districts Taxes are provided to Demon King City every month, and this is the source of income for Demon King City.”
"Oh, so what's the exact amount they're offering."
Lord Demon King knew very well that as soon as Li Mo talked about these things, he would be like an addict and couldn't stop at all. She could only change the topic simply and rudely.
"The total monthly amount can buy about 400,000 games."
Li Mo scratched his head and came up with the most understandable answer for the Demon King, who had no concept of money at all.
"one two three……"
The Demon King clasped his fingers and did calculations with some embarrassment.
Finally gave up after about a few minutes.
"To put it simply, aren't we just rich people? Then why aren't we allowed to buy some delicious food and toys?"
"I don't know what kind of concept you have, Lord Demon King, and it would be very embarrassing for you to think so."
When Li Mo heard this, he almost fainted.
Fortunately, he has a very good temper now. If he had been fed this kind of thought before, he would have been so angry that he would vomit blood.
"Listen up, Lord Demon King. The land of water in the north will face the severe weather of long-term snow cover in winter. Therefore, in winter, the land of water is exempt from taxes all season, while the land of fire in the east cannot free itself due to the harsh terrain. It is a property, but it belongs to the front line of the war and must supply the army at all times. Therefore, not only does the Land of Fire not have to pay taxes, but the Demon King City will allocate monthly assistance. In addition, the damn old man in the Land of Earth recently refused to pay taxes for various reasons. Our monthly income is infinitely close to 0, 0!"
Li Mo really hoped someone could understand his ramblings.
All of this was forced by the Demon King who was educating him with his index and thumb fingers making a 0 sign.
"Well--"
The demon king's scarlet eyes, which were almost pale, rotated in a whirlpool.
And accompanied by painful moans coming from his mouth, he began to shrink back.
But such an attitude was by no means introspection, but simply boredom. Li Mo knew that if he didn't give up when things were good, he would end badly, so he stopped appropriately.
"Then why does the land refuse to pay taxes? Does this devil need to solve it?"
The Demon King swung her beautiful long silver hair back, closed his eyes and rushed toward Li Mo with a proud face like a savior.
"No, the main reason for this problem is...forget it, I will find a way to solve this problem, so the Demon King doesn't have to worry about it."
Li Mo raised the board in his hand to indicate that he was already handling this matter.
The main reason is because of the Demon King. Without the polished Demon King who has the Demon King's Castle army, who will pay the tax for your protection? Normal people will know that this is the fault of the Demon King who forced away the Demon King's Castle defenders.
However, Li Mo was never willing to blame the Demon King for this problem.
because……
"What?"
Li Mo's train of thought was interrupted by the small hand that suddenly stretched out in front of him.
The Demon King's eyes were shining, looking at him expectantly.
"I know, I know."
"Wow--"
Li Mo put a one-yuan coin in Lord Demon King's hand. Lord Demon King who got the coin held it up and jumped excitedly.
"So, since the Demon King understands the importance of work, please don't disturb me."
While talking, he began to immerse himself in the work again.
However, after a short period of time.
It always feels too quiet...
Li Mo was not used to being so quiet all of a sudden, so he secretly looked back.
The Lord Demon King was curling up quietly on the throne, his face slightly buried in his knees, showing a slightly lonely expression, and he was still holding the coin he gave him tightly in his hand.
"If you're tired, don't worry about me and go rest."
"...No, I'll be waiting for you here."
Oh My God.
Li Mo smiled helplessly and shook his head, putting down the pen in his hand again.
"It's okay to play for a while."
"Wow!"
It was a cry that was even more exciting than before. He dropped his precious coins and sat next to Li Mo again.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Yeah, why?"
Li Mo pinched his chin and pretended to be worried, refusing to give Lord Demon King the answer in his heart.
But the reason is very simple.
because……
For Limo, the strongest intellectual general, no matter what it is, as long as it is the Demon King's wish, it will never be wrong in his heart.
From this point of view, he may be a more willful person than the Demon King.
