Chapter 240: Chapter 115 Vera: Alas, it’s over

The grand bathhouse officially opened today... Although the small creatures were reluctant, they obediently entered the stone building after their work ended.

Judging by their expressions, it looked less like they were going to bathe and more like they were going to be punished. But it was only once a week... They just had to endure some torment and it would be over.

The grand bathhouse was designed to be very large, much larger than ordinary bathhouses. Both the central hot spring pool and the surrounding shower areas were designed to be spacious... This way, it could accommodate the bathing needs of many small creatures at the same time.

The magic wands with the Water Creation Technique had been extensively deployed, greatly reducing the manpower needed for the farmlands... Next, except during the harvesting and plowing periods, there would be a lot of free time.

Many goblins and little demons were already idle.

*Whether it was the small creatures who couldn’t stand being idle, or the Demon King Territory... they wouldn’t let them just start lounging around; there were indeed some tasks arranged for them now.*

The little demons, of course, followed the Headless Knights and Black Knights to patrol and hunt. This was to control the number of Magic Beasts in Grier Forest, maintaining ecological balance to meet Demon King Territory’s meat consumption needs.

Basically, they killed some of the carnivorous, more dangerous magic beasts, letting the herbivorous ones’ populations explode... Of course, they also understood the concept of one species waxing as another wanes.

Yila once heard a story... In ancient times, to protect the deer in a forest, people decided to hunt the deer’s natural enemy—wolves—continuously. As a result, too many wolves were killed.

The deer population exploded, and they ate all the edible plants, wild grasses, and even tree bark... In the end, with nothing to eat, the deer starved. Plus, since the wolves usually targeted the old, weak, and sick deer, eating them helped optimize the gene pool.

So, the forest and the deer both died out.

*But the present situation was different... When the herbivorous magic beasts’ numbers increased to a certain level, they would be heavily hunted once again.*

In other words, it was similar to free-ranging.

And regardless, Magic Beasts remained somewhat dangerous, but not overly brutal. It was very suitable for little demons to practice their combat skills and evolve... Although losses were inevitable.

But these losses were unavoidable. Little demons needed combat to continue evolving... Moreover, with the Blood Pond filling up, the little demons in the territory were rapidly increasing in number.

*If this wasn’t managed, it might lead to a situation similar to the ’deer and forest’ scenario.*

To be honest, Yila had recently recalculated the growth rate of little demons, and suddenly realized that their planning for the farmland had been too conservative... They might not even need crop rotation in the future.

*The entire agricultural area should be fully utilized... possibly just changing the types of crops.*

*They ate little, worked hard, and adapted quickly... what a marvelous species the little demons were. Could such rapidly evolving creatures really not have the potential to rule the world?*

"You should be able to rule the world... don’t you think so, Demon Worm?"

Yila mused, while around him, goblins were busy planning the arc and brainstorming the calculations for the new ’Bee Flower Snow Moon·Giant Bee Corpse Processing, Factory to Blood Pond Slippery Channel’.

The goblins had been organized into a technology improvement team... Their daily task was to utilize their unique ’goblin thinking’ inherent in their bloodline to come up with all sorts of whimsical ideas.

The engineering team... fit perfectly with the goblin style.

"Chew?"

The chubby Demon Worm tilted its head, completely confused by what this person was talking about... It held the waist of the giant bee in its hands, nibbling away at the giant bee’s flesh with its mouth.

Blinking its beady black eyes, the Demon Worm raised its tiny claw to scratch its head, then used its claw to tear the giant bee in its mouth in half, holding out one half towards Yila.

"Thank you, but I don’t eat that..."

Yila declined the Demon Worm’s kind offer and watched it happily munching on the two halves of the giant bee’s carcass. He looked at the numerous Demon Worms in the pool, deeply sensing the limitless potential of the Demon King Territory’s future.

*This mode of using flesh to nurture Demon Worms was terrifying.*

"It was like... trading garbage for labor." Yila thought, "Although their potential might not be as high as AI’s, they could approach it, and the evolution process to the ’Final Form’ would be smoother."

"Goblins, good job, this angle is perfect... Just tilt it a little more."

"Gobgob, that’s right! As long as there’s some blood, it will slide down easily."

"Just dig the pool down a bit more... this deep should do!"

"..."

*It seemed the goblins over there had reached a conclusion... There wasn’t much complex calculation involved, just roughly measuring the proportion of the length to the depth, but it was enough to be amazing.*

*Goblins were more adept at this than imagined... It was as if the brilliance of their ancestors shone through them. The concept of ’legacy’ in this world was truly an intriguing topic.*

Bloodline legacy, magical legacy, craftsmanship legacy... Even habitual legacy, these were all evident to varying degrees between the generations in this world.

For example, Vera’s family... quite a literate family... Although there were many mages, they always had peculiar illiteracies, like pronouncing ’achievement’ as ’papermaking’, or ’supply’ as ’provide’ (gei).

Simply mysterious.

*And it wasn’t just goblins; some little demons were also gathered. Although they didn’t show much interest in modifications, they were discussing matters of strength.*

Many little demons surrounded that Little Ice Demon, seeking advice on evolution... Really good, indeed. Every creature was finding its own path.

*The future path should be found by them...*

*Yila thought to himself as he smiled, listening to the little demons conversing.*

"Gua! I also want to evolve into a Little Ice Demon. How did you do it?"

"Gobgua, yeah! I want to be a Little Ice Demon too."

"It’s simple; I guess it was... not covering with a blanket at night!"

"Yeah, definitely!"

"When will I be able to evolve into an Ice Demon... I also want to become a loli soon. Lord Yila likes lolis the most."

"Right, right! Lady Vera wouldn’t lie to us."

"..."

Yila: "..."

Yila: "Vera! Vera Yaylimeinoceyatos!"
