Chapter 75: Chapter 74 Guilty Retaliatory Work

Next to the Demon King Territory, under the rapid construction by the Mechanical Bodies, a new fishing port had already sprung up beside what had originally been the Battle Port... and not far from there, a trade port was also being built at a remarkable pace.

How should it be said? The Mechanical Bodies were truly infrastructure superhumans.

The construction of the first fishing boat was also in full swing. Led by the Sea Demons, the Mechanical Bodies performed the physical labor, and Youyou mobilized resources from all sides... From when they returned to the Demon King Territory yesterday until now, there already seemed to be a frame and a prototype.

Yila wasn’t very familiar with ships, or rather, not very familiar with the ships of this world. After all, he hadn’t really seen what the spells engraved on some parts of the ships meant.

He had indeed once been a Court Mage, but he was different from academic mages like Vera.

Before becoming a Governor, Yila had been a Blood Mage, and to be specific, he was a single-minded mage devoted to researching useful magic for himself. To put it nicely, he didn’t study miscellaneous magic.

To put it bluntly... he was somewhat academically unbalanced,

But regardless, as a fishing boat, these boats were much larger than the small fishing boats Yila had in mind. Looking at the large ship’s keel and frame in front of him, which could be described as a "whaling ship," he wondered if the Sea Demons had misunderstood something.

Actually, just an ordinary fishing boat would have been enough.

In just one night, the Sea Demons had almost completed this large ship. All that was left was to fill in the wooden planks and adhesive materials and wait for the waterproof paint to dry.

Once the boat was completely built, they would use marker techniques to observe the size and density of the fish in the nearby sea area. This would help them determine the minimum catch sizes for various fish and the mesh size of the fishing nets.

There were still many things that needed to be done...

Thinking this, Yila turned his head to look at the already completed fishing port. The fishing port built by the Mechanical Bodies was both beautiful and... As he was praising it in his mind, he paused, noticing a fishing boat docked at one of the peripheral berths.

Because the port’s watchtower had blocked the view, he hadn’t seen it from his higher position earlier.

Judging by its size and shape, it was the same model as the fishing boat currently under construction. In other words... in just one night, these Sea Demons had built two boats?

Did they not rest for an entire night?!

"Yila, sir? Demon King, Your Highness?"

At this moment, the Mechanical Leader, who was overseeing the construction of the trade port, walked over and greeted him, saying, "I heard, my Mana, you used it well, killed many rebels, thanks."

"Yes, Mr. Yila used your Mana to form an axe and threw it to kill all the Gorgons. It was very impressive!"

In Satan Ye’s response, Yila nodded lightly. Looking at the Sea Demons busying themselves, oblivious to their arrival, he asked: "The Sea Demons, did they work all night?"

"It seems so."

The Mechanical Leader nodded and seemed a bit worried, saying, "They are not us, flesh and blood, fragile. I am somewhat worried that not sleeping for an entire night must be very exhausting."

"Sigh..."

Yila sighed softly. He could understand why the Sea Demons were working so hard—it was probably out of guilt. That feeling of remorse burned within each of them.

The guilt for their own actions, the regret for their betrayal, drove them to work through the night until their bodies collapsed... Monsters were indeed such naïve creatures.

But they were very useful.

"Satan Ye, go and comfort them... force them to rest."

Yila said, watching as Satan Ye nodded and ran over in small steps. He conversed with the Mechanical Leader: "The Mechanical Bodies seem to have unparalleled talent in demolishing buildings and facilities, but your numbers are too few."

Among all the creatures in the Demon King Territory, the Mechanical Bodies had the smallest population.

"Yes, to increase the number of my people, we must explore ruins or find those who escaped from the Elemental Plane to the Main Plane. It relies heavily on luck."

Listening to the mechanical friction sound of his words, Yila extended his hand to help the Mechanical Leader remove some clumps of grass stuck under its arm.

The structure of the Demon Statue’s body didn’t allow them to remove the mud from that spot.

"Mr. Demon King."

"Mr. Demon King..."

It seemed that the Sea Demons over there had noticed Satan Ye’s arrival, and naturally saw Yila watching from not far away... However, they didn’t seem to have any intention of greeting him.

"The first fishing boat is complete. It can be ready for its maiden voyage by the afternoon, and the second boat is under construction. Would you like to name the first fishing boat, Your Highness?"

The Mermaid Leader said as she hopped on the ground. Her pink fish tail supported her movements on land and looked powerful enough to crush a goblin’s skull.

(Goblin: ...)

"More importantly, both Mr. Yila and I heard that you’ve been busy all night?"

Satan Ye asked seriously, "Yila says you must rest. Stop all work now, and we will try fishing together in the afternoon."

"..."

In Satan Ye’s words, the one remaining Mermaid Leader looked at the other two still busy leaders, then cautiously glanced at Yila, finding it hard to believe he could be so kind-hearted.

"It’s Yila’s order. Quickly, go rest and sleep; don’t exhaust yourselves to death."

Under Satan Ye’s urging, the Mermaid Leader began to pass Yila and Satan Ye’s orders among the Sea Demons. Soon... they each sank to the sea bed to sleep.

Yes, the Sea Demons slept at the sea bottom... Their fin-like ears weren’t just for show. They were genuine organs for oxygen exchange and were even more comfortable than breathing with lungs.

Moreover, it ensured their bodies remained moist. The water was their most comfortable environment.

"..."

"Mr. Yila, I’m back~"

Seeing Satan Ye hopping back happily, Yila shook his head in helplessness but didn’t say anything... because Satan Ye did a good job, slightly improving his image.

After all, they would continue to work together in the future, so cleansing his reputation a bit wouldn’t hurt.

But more than that, there was something else on his mind.

"Your name is Xiao Gang?"

Yila asked, to which the Iron Demon Statue, the Mechanical Leader, nodded: "Yes, it’s me. Why?"

"Nothing, just amazed to learn your name for the first time."

He responded calmly, but what Yila really thought remained unknown.

...

Xiao Gang, where is your Onyx?
