Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 650 - 329: The Elf Forest’s Runaway Princess Lureya
Theo paused for a moment, understanding Shami’s words.
"You want to pull me into the demon race? It’s not just about riches anymore, it’s a question of whether I’ll live to enjoy them!"
Shami crossed his arms calmly, his tone even.
"I’m just extending an invitation, is all. If you’re unwilling, just pretend I never said anything. However, within the demon race, at least I can guarantee that you and your little sheep are safe. As for here, I can’t promise that."
These words struck Theo deeply, his expression trembling.
He recalled the scenes of being bullied by adventure groups these past few days, those vile adventurers devouring his little sheep, ransacking his house, and nearly being hunted as a monster...
The more Theo thought about it, the angrier he became, his fury reaching his brows, glaring fiercely at Shami.
"If I join the demon race, can I attack the adventure group?"
"That’s exactly what the demon race does!"
"If I join the demon race, can I seek refuge with magic creatures when being hunted by adventure groups?"
"Before even starting, you’re already thinking of not being able to defeat the adventure group and being hunted in return, huh? Of course! As long as you join the demon race and possess demonic qi, magic creatures won’t automatically attack you."
"If I join the demon race, can I do anything outside?"
After receiving Shami’s continuous affirmation, Theo’s expression grew increasingly brazen.
"...No, you can’t do things that damage the image of the demon race. Specifically which things, that will be up to me to decide. The first rule is, absolutely not molesting sheep in public."
"I definitely wouldn’t do such things! What kind of person do you think I am? I only want to research the sheep race and worry I might need to steal sheep from other villages in the future."
Theo clarified loudly.
"That sort of thing is up to you,"
Shami replied indifferently.
Now that he’s the Demon King, Shami’s level of tolerance has increased greatly, able to accommodate various quirks and strange creatures within the demon race.
"Then there’s one last small question..."
Shami stared straight at Theo.
Enough already, don’t think you’re being invited into the demon race because you’re important, Theo, you’re just filling the spot for a weird-looking buyer!
"Go ahead."
"Can I be a small team leader..."
Theo finally whispered.
Judging by his trembling throat, Theo was overwhelmed with excitement.
"Is that all your ambition amounts to?" Shami sighed, "Of course, not only that, Theo. After joining the demon race, you’ll be one of the demon race’s officers!"
Theo took a deep breath, almost collapsing from excitement.
"But this doesn’t come without conditions. You’ll need to follow the arrangements of the Demon King Castle, and you’re not allowed to expose demon race matters to the Human World. Strict confidentiality and obeying orders."
"Absolutely no problem. Shami, you’re a true brother! From now on, my sheep are your sheep!"
Theo indicated the three cute little lambs bleating beside him, with an expression determined to endure even if Shami were to do unspeakable things to them.
Though he knew this was Theo’s highest respect, Shami’s face still darkened.
"Wait, what about the widow? If I join the demon race, what happens to her?"
"Her..."
Shami thought for a while, looking at Theo.
"Adding a Snorlax to the demon race is not a big deal. Species diversity, after all, the more species, the stronger the Demon Realm’s ecological regulation ability. The widow can join the demon race as your family member."
Though he didn’t understand what a Snorlax is, Theo was still moved to hug Shami, blocked by Shami’s magic power.
Since Theo decided to join the demon race, plans were made to find a nice patch of about ten acres of grassland within the Demon Realm, to establish a ranch for breeding his sheep.
Theo readily agreed.
Shami contemplated for a while, deciding that Ghost Wenli would take full charge of this matter.
It’s time for the little ghost to develop the ability to handle things independently.
"In the next few days, a ghost with twin-tails might enter your home. Don’t suspect that you’ve died; she’s a ghost from the demon race. She’ll lead you to the Demon Realm, just follow her arrangements."
"I will follow the organization’s orders!"
Theo saluted enthusiastically.
[Villager Theo, Villager Unnamed Widow from the Village, join the demon race.]
It’s nighttime.
Demon King Castle, Hot Spring House, Demon Envoy District.
In winter, girls love soaking in hot springs, scrubbing each other’s backs while chatting about daytime work.
Tonight, only the elf maiden and heroic maiden were in the hot spring pool, the dragon race maiden had not returned, and the magical girl had already gone back to the tower.
"Lureya, something bad happened."
Lina approached Lureya secretly, whispering.
The already quite troubled elf maiden propped her hands on the edge of the hot spring like an uncle, looking up at the night sky with a melancholy expression, her legs spread wide in the hot spring, like a laid-back salted fish.
"Lina, I’m already in trouble."
"It’s about the bone frame. The bone frame might also be interested in Shami." Lina whispered.
Lureya cast a sidelong glance at Lina.
"Lina, are you worried your charm can’t compete with a pile of bones?"
"No, look at this."
The white-haired one played the recording crystal’s footage for the golden-haired one, whose eyes gradually widened.
"Who’s this flat-chested pink-haired one?"
"It’s the bone frame, right now it has transformation ability, and I’ve heard it was a succubus in a past life."
