After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King
Chapter 143 - 12 Ah

Chapter 143: Chapter 12 Ah

"Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Whew... So tired!"

Vera said in a steady breath, showing an appearance of being very tired as she walked out of the mine following Yila. She complained, "Seriously, why make a weak woman like me... a Witch Demon, carry clay and stones?"

"Ugh... Ugh... So tired. If my back breaks, I’ll make sure to break your back later, too."

Saying this, Vera held her waist with a look of *"Oh no, my old back is falling apart."* Well... by human standards, Vera was indeed already very old.

But such words should never be spoken in front of her.

"..."

However, in response to Vera’s words, Yila said nothing, only looked at her disdainfully and then at the arcane servants behind her, motioning for Vera to command the arcane servants carrying the materials. He said, "Put it down."

"Oh~"

Vera easily straightened up and obediently imitated Yila’s gesture, waving her hand. Immediately, the arcane servants put down the materials they were carrying.

*So, even though she didn’t exert any effort, why is she giving herself so much credit here?*

Yila shook his head helplessly, recalling the cement-making process... First, the clay needed to be kiln-fired at high temperatures, then mixed with quicklime obtained by firing limestone at the same high temperatures, at a 7:3 ratio.

In the ultra-ancient times described in old textbooks, a special kiln would be used for multi-layer firing to achieve the appropriate temperature. To be honest, the temperature would be quite high.

But for Yila, it was not so complicated.

"First Wing Pillar, Crimson..."

Yila recited, but nothing changed behind him. He was stunned under Vera’s gaze, then awkwardly corrected himself, "Void Wing Pillar Tikapu Wing Appearance!"

As the wings of the succubus appeared behind Yila, he explained to the puzzled Vera, "I never asked Satan Ye for mana before... Mm, I’ll be right back."

Saying this, Yila quickly faded into the air and disappeared.

*No matter how Vera looked at it, it was extremely bizarre. She stood in place, pondering... Even if Tikapu’s soul had entered Yila’s body, he should not be able to use Tikapu’s talents as well.*

*There must be some reasons that even Vera wasn’t aware of, and Yila himself didn’t know, leading to the current situation... Although it was hard to imagine it was a bad thing, understanding it thoroughly would be beneficial.*

"Ah, I’m back."

In less than a minute, Yila, with two pairs of wings unfolded, returned from the Void Realm to Vera. The wings of the Crimson Dragon and the succubus were distinctly separate but extremely harmonized.

Unfurling two pairs of wings simultaneously... Luckily, this was an ability Yila had displayed when he joined the Demon King Territory. Otherwise, if it were during the period when he opposed the monsters, everyone who fought against him would have gone mad.

*Not because of the power Yila exhibited, but because of what it meant to unfold two pairs of wings simultaneously, collapsing from fear of the future...*

*Perhaps, at the end of the war, if Yila pretended to become stronger, the Empire would have won directly.*

As soon as Yila appeared, the temperature of the surrounding air began to rise noticeably. Scorching tongues of flame danced around him, consuming the surrounding air and making everything around him sear.

"Boom!!"

With a simple flick of Yila’s finger, a dangerous blaze instantly flew out, enveloping the clay and limestone in scorching red, burning, tearing, and crushing them in the air.

Then the flames fell, and as Yila dispelled the fire, fine dark gray ash scattered on the ground, forming a small mound. It was clear that this pile of material still retained considerable heat... So, was this what Yila wanted?

"Vera, get some water."

Yila said this, but Vera didn’t understand what he meant. She looked at him in confusion and asked, "What water? How much water? You’re not going to make me use Heavenly Phenomena Control again, are you?"

In response, Yila thought about it and decided against it. He said, "Let me do it. Actually, a simple Water Creation Technique is enough. Chanting takes too much time, and you can’t do high-speed chanting... Third Wing Pillar, Witch Demon Wing Spread!"

Listening to Yila’s voice, watching him spread the Witch Demon’s wings and start creating water to mix, Vera felt a bit hurt... Although Yila’s words were true, they were still a bit hurtful.

"I’m not a War Mage, nor have I studied combat techniques. Unlike you guys who think about fighting skirmishes every day."

Vera mumbled softly, watching Yila switch to the wing pillar of the Headless Knight, using the conjured lance and rotating mana for mixing... Soon, the dark gray powder turned into dark gray sludge.

"Is this the cement you were talking about? The name is quite nice, simple and easy to understand."

For Vera’s comment, Yila nodded, and the dark mana on his body burst out, instantly scattering the cement in front of him. Then he crudely and roughly spread it out on the dirt road before him.

"That’ll do. Cement takes a long time to harden. Whether it works or not needs time to verify."

Yila said, retracting the wings behind him and signaling to Vera, asking, "Given the current situation, how much Forbidden Magic Stone Powder should be mixed in to block detection and analysis spells?"

Upon hearing about her area of expertise, Vera became a bit more serious, pondering as she said, "The materials are too pure, which might be troublesome. Let’s discuss it after it solidifies?"

It seemed that, for now, Vera was not very confident in making a judgment.

Yila wasn’t in a hurry either. He could only nod and give simple instructions, "Then create a barrier to keep others away. I’ll find something to build a rain shelter... let’s check again in ten days."

"Ok, ok!"

Vera responded, crossing her arms with a proud expression, saying, "My barrier studies and ritual studies are unparalleled, not to brag!"

Yila: "Alright, alright~"

Vera: "Hmm? Why do I feel like you’re placating me?"

Yila: "It’s your imagination."

——————————

"Is this cement?"

A human woman squatted by the cement, examining it as though no one was around, almost poking it with her fingers.

"An easily moldable material that hardens after drying? Yila has given us another surprise."

Wenresa said, glancing at the sky before bursting into laughter, "Hahaha, why is everyone watching this? A bunch of curious kittens~"

"..."

The curious kittens: "....."
