Chapter 270: Chapter 14 Glad I Didn’t Say It Out Loud

"Thank you... but we would probably still make the same choice."

"..."

"Mr. Yila... you simply don’t understand, we don’t have the right to return and receive the care and concern of our kind."

"..."

"Lord Yila, before we avenge ourselves... we will probably stay in the Demon King Territory."

"..."

"..."

"Hmm... cough, cough..."

Amidst the recollection of last night’s conversation, Yila woke up from his dream, coughing like this... Not because of how last night’s conversation went, but because he seemed to have eaten too many sweet things yesterday, and now his throat was a bit uncomfortable.

After a couple of coughs, he felt much better.

The ruins we were going to by boat were [just] within the Beastman Country’s territory, so Yila asked those orc girls if they wanted to take this opportunity to return home... If they still felt the flames of revenge burning strongly, they could come back.

The ship would wait at the dock for a long time until Yila and Satan Ye finished exploring the ruins... This process would take quite a while, enough for these girls to truly see into their hearts.

Although right now they all felt there was no need to go back, some situations can only be truly understood by being in them yourself... Perhaps returning home and staying with their concerned kindreds would allow them to let go of the hatred and such.

Of course, Yila was not trying to persuade them to let go of their hatred. It didn’t matter what choices they made; he just hoped these girls would seriously choose between "home" and "away."

If it were Yila, he would definitely go home, although that might sound a bit cowardly.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Yila coughed a few times, reflecting on how his taste hadn’t fully adapted to the Empire; if a traditional Empire person were to eat last night’s sweet water, they might need to add so much honey until it was overwhelming for it to be delicious.

Mr. Lime said last night that there wasn’t enough honey, asking Yila if he wanted to raise bees or buy more...

This was ridiculous, really. The Demon King Territory never had the habit of raising bees, and Mr. Lime’s attitude was as if he mentioned it last night and expected Yila to clap his hands and magically make a beekeeping field appear today.

It seemed that Yila’s image in the eyes of various leaders had become rather peculiar.

But that was also Yila’s own problem, as he usually acted as if he could do anything. He was even prepared to work on this matter today — beekeeping... At least setting up the preparations first, then planning to go to the ruins.

"Gulp, gulp~"

Yila drank a couple of sips of cold overnight water and then left his room without a care... With the body constitution of the Governor, drinking cold water from the night before wasn’t an issue at all, even if someone poisoned it; the Governor’s extraordinary resistance would handle it.

"Yawn~ Good morning, Yila..."

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Vera being carried forward by several arcane servants while yawning... Clearly, Vera was too lazy to walk again and had used spells to slack off.

Despite her limited Mana reserves, she liked to waste it. It really left one speechless.

"Good morning. You’re up pretty early today, didn’t sleep well?"

In response to Yila’s words, Vera twisted her neck and lazily replied, "Witch demons don’t get tired. It doesn’t matter if we sleep more or less, it’s just to ease the pressure on our souls... I’m simply lazy most of the time."

Admitted it! She admitted she was very lazy! Such thick skin!

Seeing Yila roll his eyes, Vera scratched her head, looking lazy and lay in a pose casually, turning her head to look at him who was following behind, and said, "Why are you walking this way? Not going to have breakfast?"

This path, if followed to the end, would lead directly out of the Demon King City, but it wouldn’t be the way to the kitchen... Vera had just returned from the kitchen, so she was very clear about this.

"I don’t feel like eating today; I’m heading to the forest."

To Yila who said that, Vera raised an eyebrow. It was rare to see him skip breakfast. She said, "I remember you once said... ’Have a good breakfast, eat less for lunch, and have a good dinner,’ didn’t you? And also ’Skipping breakfast is like chronic Zisha,’ right?"

Indeed, Yila often advised Isabella so back in the Empire...

"I am the Governor, I don’t need to care... And I ate too many sweet things last night, not really in the mood for food now."

Yila said this, walking along with Vera on the road. He looked at her with some confusion, asking, "Where are you headed? I rarely see you leave Demon King City."

"Going to cast a spell... Isn’t it because you said to expand the White Ball Wine production line."

Vera said this, her face clearly showing "Look, look, I’m working so hard for you," and with a sincere expression, she said, "The newly transplanted White Ball Trees need me to cast the Plant Growth Technique, so Yila, remember my good deed~"

To tell the truth, Yila initially thought Vera had taken the initiative, but when she said these kinds of words, he felt she seemed a bit cheeky.

But what could he do? He could only go along with it...

"Okay, okay~"

Yila responded perfunctorily.

Clearly sensing Yila’s perfunctoriness, Vera also rolled her eyes, got down from her arcane servant, waved her hand to dismiss these spell constructs, and walked while saying, "You’re also going to the forest? Then we’re temporarily on the same path..."

That was true, after all, the area for the White Ball Fruit forest previously designated was near the forest.

"Yes, I’m going to the forest to see if I can cooperate with the bees, to slightly discuss with the bee magic beasts... Maybe honey can be more ample in the future."

"..."

Vera: "Huh?"

Seeing Vera’s puzzled face, and her expression that seemed to say "Did I hear that right?" Yila nodded as he specifically explained, "In the forest, bee-like magic beasts have a particularly low status, generally being the prey for many other magic beasts."

"If the Demon King Territory protected them, provided honey to help them survive the winter, and offered them a garden... they wouldn’t mind sharing honey."

"..."

Thinking about it, it somewhat made sense... but...

"That’s not what I meant... Yila, do you speak Magic Beast Language?"

Vera teased him, knowing that was impossible because "Magic Beast Language" didn’t exist, and she said, "How will you communicate with bee magic beasts? How will you ensure they trust you?"

Instead of going through so many twists and turns, it might be simpler to use more manpower to build an ordinary beekeeping field...

"Just speak Universal Language, magic beasts understand it."

"..."

"No, that’s not what I meant... I don’t believe magic beasts would trust what you say."

Vera: "If you don’t get stung, I’ll change my last name to Elkaras... at least for a month."
