After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King
Chapter 118 - 117 Divine Concealment

Chapter 118: Chapter 117 Divine Concealment

"What do you think of Satan Ye?"

Walking along the road, Yila asked this while passing through the corridor with Cassiopeia. Under the eyes of the servants, they talked about Satan Ye openly... which should have been a very taboo topic.

However, no one cared. This was also the strength of the Demon King Territory.

A classic example of the "we are barbarians" advantage zone.

"Satan Ye?"

Cassiopeia repeated this, recalling that young little loli Demon King. She said, "She’s quite a good kid, very cute, and her hair looks nice."

"..."

Who asked you this?

Yila was a bit speechless.

"As a king, she’s still a bit immature... After all, her age is still considered the toddler stage for us and for monsters, so she indeed needs to put in more effort."

Cassiopeia seemed to see things clearly. She looked through the windows of the corridor at the trading Demon King Territory inhabitants and the people of Silver Moon Tree Court. She said, "But with your help, Yila, it might be easier for her, right?"

Probably.

Yila thought, following Cassiopeia’s gaze, watching everyone trading. He said, "The ghosts of the Demon King Territory are waiting with the tablets. Let’s go down... I’ll notify everyone to come and listen to this matter."

As he said this, Yila simply called out, "Little Tip?"

Accompanied by Yila’s voice, Tipcapu knelt on one knee, gradually becoming solid within the space, awaiting Yila’s orders. Then, under Yila’s indication of "start translating, gather everyone who’s free," he disappeared again.

"Huh? Was that... plane travel? Void Realm travel?"

Cassiopeia, who had watched Tipcapu appear and disappear from start to finish, seemed a bit surprised. She looked at Yila in astonishment and said, "Your maid can actually do Void Travel? Is the Demon King Territory that powerful?"

Cassiopeia’s implication, without a doubt, was "there must be many who can do Void Travel, right? Otherwise, why would someone who could be an assassin or killer serve as a maid here?"

"He’s my manservant, a rare male succubus."

"Huh? !!! But she looks just like a woman!"

Cassiopeia showed the same shock that Yila had felt when he found out Tipcapu was male, but the difference was that Yila didn’t express his shock at the time, while Cassiopeia exclaimed without reservation.

"Ha, I was just as curious when I found out."

Yila chuckled lightly. He didn’t know if Satan Ye had mentioned this to Cassiopeia. He said, "As for the upcoming trade matters, I think it’s better to conduct both land and sea trade simultaneously, for quicker resource exchange. I’m telling you in advance to avoid troublesome paperwork."

Listening to Yila, Cassiopeia also noticed the huge ships in the distance. She nodded and said, "That’s good. We love Blue Moss Mushrooms... what price do you sell to the merchants?"

Due to the dietary habits of the elves, many things wouldn’t fetch a good price on their side, but special wines, fruits, musical instruments, and plants were different. These items were quite popular in the Silver Moon Tree Court.

Blue Moss Mushrooms might be among them too.

"Eight pounds of Blue Moss Mushrooms for one copper coin."

Yila said. This was the price they sold to the merchants, which was considered good. But just by thinking about it, one could guess that the price on the Silver Moon Tree Court’s side might be quite outrageous.

"Ah, I see. When the merchants take them to Silver Moon Tree Court, they sell them to us for one copper coin per pound."

Cassiopeia shook her head, saying as she followed Yila to the garden outside the Demon Castle, where they met Youyou, who was looking at the tablets, waiting for Cassiopeia.

"Besides this, what else is worth buying in the Demon King Territory?"

For Cassiopeia’s question, Yila thought for a moment. He approached Cassiopeia, smelling her, then deftly dodged her uncomprehending hug, saying, "You might not be interested in perfume, but we have developed some nice-tasting wine."

After all, the natural fragrance on elves was far more pleasant than any perfume, so perfumes couldn’t be sold on the elves’ side... just like selling combs to monks, anecdotes are always anecdotes.

"Wine, huh?"

Cassiopeia said this, then smelled herself, noticing a scent somewhat like honeysuckle. She seemed quite interested in the wine Yila mentioned.

Elves quite liked wine, provided it had a good taste and low alcohol content; if it was the strong liquor favored by dwarves, the elves would only hold their noses and run away.

"I’ll take you to see it later."

Yila said, looking at Cassiopeia, who had started studying the tablets. He noticed the other leaders gradually approaching and, for some reason, he had a feeling of witnessing a historical moment.

This feeling peaked when Cassiopeia’s expression became extremely serious.

Because Cassiopeia rarely showed such an expression. When she was serious, it usually looked like she was seriously deciding what to have for dinner. But now she seemed genuinely serious.

"The gods are dead."

The opening sentence made everyone tense because... what Yila had said before was correct. If that was true, then it seemed something truly significant had happened.

"The True Gods appeared with the power of chaos. If the gods were still alive, they would only be devoured by the True Gods, so we couldn’t win. So we sealed them."

"This is our last revelation. Spread the word, in ten thousand years the world will be destroyed, and everyone must join hands. Soon, people will stop fighting."

"Only this way will the World Tree not be destroyed."

Cassiopeia also looked confusedly towards the sky, murmuring, "The destruction of the World Tree? The gods are dead? Is this record... fake?"

Thinking this, Cassiopeia decided to ask her great aunt about it later.

But it was probably fake, because if the recorded events were true... then things would be big.

"Ten thousand years? Then... the time seems about right."

Yila said, frowning in some confusion. Having read many texts, his sense of time was clearer than most present, though still a bit vague. He said:

"The existence of the Age of Gods hasn’t been confirmed, but if there was indeed such an era, then the time since the end of the Divine Era leading to the (uncertain) Empire-Monster War is about eight to nine thousand years."

In other words, only a thousand years remained...

"A thousand years left?"

Having rushed over but missed the translation, Satan Ye felt somewhat relieved.

Indeed, a thousand years still sounded long, but for someone whose dream was to rebuild an eternal Utopia, it was an unacceptable piece of information, so...

"I hope it’s fake."

Yila said, glancing towards the outskirts of the Demon King Territory as if noticing something... but there was nothing there, like there had never been anything.

——————————

In the sky, Wenresa, who had been glanced at by Yila, marveled at his keen senses. She was flying blatantly in the sky, but no one could see her, because this was one of the basic powers of the "Outsiders": Divine Concealment.

"Hmm, my grandniece’s translation of the Divine Era Text isn’t bad, faithful but not elegant... but she gets along with Yila quite well... Pity, there’s a seventy percent chance that what’s recorded on the Divine Tablet is true."
