After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King
Chapter 86 - 85: Wei’s Assembly Line?

Chapter 86: Chapter 85: Wei’s Assembly Line?

To be honest, I didn’t know when it started... perhaps it was since Yila arrived. The Demon King Territory started to become lazy, or to put it nicely, the intelligence of the leaders started to drop.

The leaders gradually began to give up on their own initiative and willingly waited for Yila’s instructions. Just like Vera, who had already given up, said – just listen to Yila.

However, the main reason Vera said this was to avoid listening to Yila’s nagging.

After all, once Yila started explaining his actions, he would offer highly detailed plans and countless contingency plans, along with some strange terms and explanations.

Things like "in the short term XXXXX" or "from a long-term perspective XXXXX" were understandable, even "optimal solution," "secondary solution," and "compromise" were barely understandable.

But there were strange terms like "from a macro perspective," and other such unexplained angles that only Isabella, who grew up with Yila, could understand. Vera, an outsider, simply couldn’t comprehend them.

*Maybe only Isabella could endure it... No, even Isabella must be quite despairing.*

And the source of this despair wasn’t Yila’s intention. On the contrary, it was precisely because of Yila’s *unintentional* attitude that made people question, *"Am I the problem? Am I too stupid?"* leading to the despair.

Yila took care of almost all the affairs within the Demon King Territory. Gradually, the leaders got used to not bringing matters up during morning meetings, but instead directly going to Yila... because Yila would naturally provide the answers to their problems.

Then, he would follow up on the progress of the matters. As he put it, he would "follow up" on the issues.

And Satan Ye didn’t need to worry about becoming a blind king. Although she didn’t care much, she still occasionally followed Yila around, knowing what she needed to know.

However, nothing much was happening in the Demon King Territory today. Or rather... there were no new matters requiring Yila’s attention. Preparations for trade or taming the White Ball Monkeys would take some time.

Each leader, besides their daily tasks like leading patrols, had nothing significant happening, except for Vera... Vera was painstakingly making a perfume called "Bee Flower Snow Moon."

Although, she seemed to have a particular fondness for the name "Corpse Fragrance Potion."

Routine was something most lords in general territories hoped for, as it represented stability and the ability to enjoy oppressing peasants, eating and drinking to their heart’s content, and sleeping soundly.

But the sudden quiet in the Demon King Territory made the leaders somewhat uncomfortable because they rarely saw Yila leisurely reading a book and snacking at this time.

Yila chewed on small pieces of something that looked like rice cakes while reading a book and chatting with Youyou, probably about the snacks.

"Hey? What’s this? Is it tasty?"

"..."

Yila heard the voice, looked up, and saw someone who absolutely shouldn’t be there. He frowned in confusion and asked the visitor, "Vera? Aren’t you supposed to be making perfume and improving the process?"

Yes, the person standing outside the study was Vera, who should have been at work.

"Because I smelled something delicious~"

Vera said confidently, squeezing through the not-so-large door of the study. Her chest seemed to have been scratched, but she didn’t care. Instead, she looked eagerly at the plate in front of Yila.

"But the distance between your workshop and here, or the kitchen... never mind." Yila said helplessly, pushing the plate in his hand toward the self-seated Vera, "Wheat Bran Crisp, made from the wheat husks you hate, but they taste quite good."

Before Yila could finish speaking, Vera happily grabbed some and started munching. As she took a bite, pieces of sugar and wheat bran crisp fell to the ground... Youyou’s face turned unpleasant.

"Ah, sorry, sorry. I’ll have the devil servant clean it up later... mmm! It’s delicious!" Vera said, her eyes glowing as she looked at the plate in front of Yila, "Who knew wheat husks could be so tasty? Sorry, I’ll apologize to the wheat bran."

*You ate it all, what’s the point of apologizing?! You should apologize to Youyou!* Yila thought as Vera began to chant softly.

With Vera’s chanting and the flickering of the ring on her hand, several transparent servants appeared in the study, starting to clean up the food crumbs on the ground:

"’Servants born of interweaving, bring forth the creation... (abridged) ...creatures born for me!’"

Yila: "..."

*Something seemed off.*

Yila’s expression turned unfriendly.

Because the ring on Vera’s hand was a common tool for magicians, using very expensive materials to affix a spell onto an item, so the first or multiple uses of the spell each day wouldn’t consume her own magic power.

Using the magic power stored in the ring automatically, this design was similar to the Governor’s "World Spell" around Yila’s neck. Of course... actually, Yila was the one who borrowed the idea since he used to be a magician.

Different spells had different limitations, and the spell "Arcane Servant" undoubtedly had the limitation of "once per day."

In other words, even though it was already the afternoon, Vera still hadn’t started the perfume-making work that required the "Arcane Servant"; in other words, *she was slacking off?!*

"Vera! Vera Yaylimeinoceyatos!"

"..."

"Huh?!" Vera let out a strange cry. Seeing Yila call her full name, she realized the reason immediately. With a stiff neck, she looked at the serious Yila and said guiltily, "I... I summoned it using my own magic power. I haven’t used the ring yet."

*This was basically a confession.*

"..."

"Alright, there is a reason... listen to my excuse... listen to my explanation."

Seeing Yila’s increasingly dangerous look, Vera became slightly serious and muttered, "You see, I can’t produce much perfume even if I work non-stop every day, so I was thinking about whether I could have Little Demons do it for me."

Of course that was possible. Yila never intended for Vera to manually make perfume all the time. He just wanted Vera to produce some to see if any improvements could be made to the process, and then he would consider the assembly line.

This world didn’t have the concept of an assembly line, and Yila didn’t intend to reveal such an idea that could significantly boost productivity. Many things just missed a small idea.

If Vera couldn’t come up with a valid reason, she could expect his iron fist. Pondering this, Yila crossed his arms and asked, "So, what’s your idea?"

"Ahaha, that... uh..." Vera laughed awkwardly, suddenly coming up with an idea as a spark of inspiration flashed, she started to fabricate her excuse, "I think that by breaking down the process into simple steps and teaching each step to different Little Demons, it can work."

After finishing her unconvincing statement, Vera shrank her neck, ready for punishment.

But...

"Huh? You were actually considering improving the process?" Yila said in surprise, then apologetically patted Vera’s head and said, "Sorry, sorry, I might have wronged you. You are a genius in the true sense..."

"..."
