Chapter 224: Chapter 100: Back to the Demon King Territory

"Hmm... First time meeting you, my name is Topps Watt. I’ve long heard of the great name of the Demon Kingdom, and I’ve admired it deeply. I’m fortunate to have the chance to visit today; I hope I can find a position within the Demon Kingdom."

*Topps racked his brains thinking of words to express allegiance. He glanced at Hilena, who had no reaction at all, and then at Yila... He was unsure why the Empress didn’t say a single word.*

Moreover, he kept looking in the direction of Yila and the little girl beside him.

Yila looked at Topps with a faint smile. He knew Topps misunderstood, and his understanding of the Demon King Territory... couldn’t be said to be half-understood; it could be said to be completely clueless.

Anyone with some understanding of the Demon King Territory wouldn’t say ’Demon Kingdom’; instead, they would directly say Demon King Territory. But if they had even a slight interest in international affairs, they would know... the Demon King was a Dragon Lolita, not a Succubus glamour queen.

"Um, in conclusion... Yila recruited you, right?"

Satan Ye said, unsure why this person kept looking at Hilena while he spoke... Could he have figured it out? Figured out that I, the Demon King, was useless and everything relied on Yila and Hilena?

*Damn, what a clever human mage.*

At this moment, Topps seemed to realize something too. He looked at Yila and, seeing his affirming gaze, awkwardly responded to Satan Ye, saying, "Yes, that’s right... He asked me to come and be a teacher."

*Teacher?*

"Teacher... as in teaching me magic?"

Satan Ye blinked, looking at Yila with confusion. She pointed at herself, her tail twitching as she said, "But I’m not very interested in learning magic... It doesn’t seem very impressive."

Indeed, considering Satan Ye’s bloodline was quite powerful, she did not really need to learn magic.

"Topps is not a magic teacher... He’s a wand-making teacher."

Yila said this, and Topps opened his mouth, but felt it strangely fitting, so he closed his mouth again... Indeed, teaching about magic wasn’t as much his thing as teaching how to make new automatic spell generators (magic wands).

"Uh, don’t understand..."

Satan Ye, completely unaware of the situation, shook her head and said, "Anyway, Yila brought you back, so follow Yila for now... Hilena, help prepare a room~"

"Got it, Your Highness."

"..."

"..."

"That’s it?"

Topps asked, looking in Yila’s direction with shock after the two left, saying helplessly, "So, they just left like that? No... assessment or anything?"

In response, Yila smiled...

"Interesting, isn’t it?"

Yila said, taking a few steps before turning to raise his head towards Oopus, saying, "Looking forward to our future collaboration, and... welcome to the Demon King Territory."

——————————

"This is Topps Watt, former professor at the True Red Tower."

Yila introduced them, looking at the nodding XiaoGang and then turning to Oopus, saying, "This is XiaoGang, leader of the mechanical bodies in the Demon King Territory... If you need his help, just ask."

"..."

"Hello, Professor Topps."

XiaoGang greeted him, not sure why Yila brought the mage who joined the Demon King Territory, but he still politely extended his hand to Topps.

Topps hesitantly placed his hand in XiaoGang’s large hand; as they shook, he seemed to think of something and said, "Hello... Leader XiaoGang, do you... speak Mechanical Language?"

It seemed that Topps instantly got into the right mindset... Or perhaps the mindset he needed to maintain here in the Demon King Territory was the same as his usual one, just focusing on spreading the new spell-casting method.

"Mechanical Language? Of course, we can speak it, but..."

XiaoGang said, looking at Yila with confusion, unsure of the meaning.

Yila briefly tried to summarize what Topps was working on, saying, "Simply put, Topps developed an ’Automatic Magic Wand,’ which, by controlling the wand to emit Mechanical Language, can automatically cast spells."

Instantly, XiaoGang, hearing Yila’s words, looked at Topps in shock. Even though he wasn’t a mage, he understood what this meant and said, "So, I need to teach Professor Topps the ’Mechanical Language’ too... is that right?"

XiaoGang paused for a moment, seeming to speak, but Yila and Topps didn’t hear anything.

"Did you hear the words just now, Professor Topps?"

XiaoGang said this but only saw the helpless shaking of Topps’s head... Having said that, Topps couldn’t hear Mechanical Language either, so how did he manage it?

"The development of the ’Automatic Magic Wand’ is still in the experimental stage. Recording each spell requires carefully comparing the translation of Mechanical Language to accurately imprint the original spell onto the wand."

XiaoGang tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what ’original spell’ and ’imprint’ meant, but he realized... Topps’s translation process was very arduous.

"With ’Mechanical Language’... for other beings, the difficulty is high. If you need to translate word by word, at least it shows that Professor Topps is a very patient person..."

XiaoGang said, looking seriously at Topps, and then said, "But, if you can’t hear me speaking, I won’t be able to teach you... although I’d be happy to."

*It couldn’t be helped because it was beyond the realm of ’foreign languages,’ even more different than animal language and intelligent being language...*

This didn’t need to be worried because Yila had witnessed Topps’s determination and relentless pursuit throughout their interactions... He was a very standard mage.

*In the pursuit of truth, all means are justified.*

"Don’t worry, my magic wand can act as my ears and let me hear, and I have ways to try to understand as I listen. If I do it this way, it’ll work..."

Topps said this, pulling open the chest of his mage robe, revealing a futuristic-style crystal on his skinny chest. He said, "Once I activate this, I’ll become a mechanical body driven by flesh."

"..."

XiaoGang looked at him with respect and then at Yila, saying, "I understand, but although I don’t know what imprinting is... to make more of these automatic magic wands, he alone would not be enough, right? Would we need to learn too?"

Perhaps that was indeed the right choice, the only choice; however... the number of demon statues was insufficient, as they also had construction tasks to handle, and the mechanical bodies weren’t abundant either.

"Probably so... but we’ll discuss this later."

Would there be a need to try and increase the number of mechanical bodies?
