So we didn't wait for Heath Relia's return and we were ready to go.

The target city of our trip was the city of Ulais.

Along the way, we passed through the forest of Nair, through which there is a valley, and there are large and small basins.

The basin is inhabited by creatures called Yagron, which are much stronger than the Lamorosaurus I killed when I first came to this world, with hard scaled armor, spines on their tails that can easily split rocks, and claws on their hands that are incredibly sharp.

Let's hope we don't run into them by then.

This information is reported by the scouts that I met with the master to go scouting to understand.

The valley at the back of the Nair forest is easy to set up an ambush.

But I personally flew over to sense it, and did not sense the humans.

Anyway the scouting ability of the demon race is not as strong as mine, but it is too costly to exhaust my mental energy when I go scouting .

Now the weather has begun to gradually turn warmer, and is probably equivalent to February on Earth. And the winter snow also melted gradually.

Since I have followed the army, I I know how hard their lives are in the army. I can't bathe often, and it's too much trouble to fetch water, but the good thing is to save resources. That is, I can sleep in the same tent with my master again.

I want to follow my master at all times to protect her. Although it is completely unnecessary, it is just an excuse that I use to cling to my master.

Riding the unknown creature, I was looking up through the bare branches of the trees at the sky that is about to darken.

Suddenly a little sentimental, in fact, slow life is also quite good. I always stay by the master, and it is conducive to promote the relationship between us.

The master began to order people around her to the various teams to convey the news, ready to set up camp.

Now it was on a hill and our camp was set up on this high ground.

We have about 60,000 demon soldiers on this trip, and there are still more than 100,000 soldiers stationed in Sirene City in the rear. If we encounter any sudden/unexpected situation they can come to support us at any time.

Then the humans can't defeat us without more than 100,000 soldiers. And there is no way that I can't detect the actions of more than 100,000 soldiers, so I can slightly trust my ability for the human ambush.

But if it is still like last time only a hundred people ambushed trying to sneak up on the master, it is difficult for me to hear. And I can not always concentrate on perception.

It is good to follow the master at all times.

In the evening, after eating dinner with the master in our tent, we sat in the room to rest.

The master was at the desk with her eyes closed, and I didn’t want to disturb her.

I held my chin with my hands while observing the master's peaceful appearance quietly. I found that master was focused and calm. No matter what happens, the master is handsome.

"I feel that it will not be so simple."

It took a long time for the master to open her eyes and face me to speak.

"The Brave man knows the terrain here better than we do."

"Well...I'll just focus on unfolding my perception network when we move on tomorrow."

"You can't always be sure that your perception is 100% correct."

It's also true that my perception is mainly through sound waves to identify the presence of humans, and is not good at the temperature and smell. My five senses are completely shaped for combat, only this generation Yiluodiya begins to use these combat abilities to prevent sneak attacks from behind to assist the war of the demons.

"Master, why don't humans know that my perception is so strong?"

However the master shook her head.

"They knew your perception was strong, but didn't think it could be used on intelligence acquisition. The previous generation Yiluodiya only focused on fighting. For her, if the enemy's every move was known by her, the battle would lose its challenge. So she never used her perception to get humans’ intelligence until her death."

"Even if the humans can ambush us without my perception, their troops of ambush are not many. We can win the fight."

"Well, it's better to be careful."

I moved my stool closer to the master, like a child full of curiosity.

"Master, can you tell me about the first two generations of Yiluodiya?"

The master answered me with a slight smile.

"What do you want to know?"

"About the previous generation. Since the most mentioned by humans is the evil deeds of the previous generation of Yiluodiya, I am very interested to know what the impression of the previous generation of Yiluodiya is on our demons."

The master leaned back against the back of the long chair, and her expression seemed a bit emotional.

"Yiluodiya can only exist one at a time. If the next generation is to have the same ability, the previous generation must first die. However, we don't know what the soul will be like. The first generation...may have had some psychological problems so that she never had any outstanding achievements. As for the second generation you want to know, although she was a very good weapon, the way she handled the war was too extreme. That is to say, she started the war solely to satisfy her own selfish desires."

I looked at the master while listening to her intently. The master looked at me as if to wait for me to speak. I rolled my eyes and did not want to say anything, so the master continued to speak.

"From the early days, we demons thought she was an excellent warrior and gave her part of the military power to lead her own troops to invade humans. Later, as her ambitions grew, we realized that she wasn't happy to help us demons invade humans. It just happened to be that killing was her pleasure. That's about it, and you know the result."

I nodded, and fortunately I was still just a normal person. After the master's conditioning I would not have a rebellious mind. The master showed a pleased smile, reached out and touched my head.

"The more powerful you are, the more eager you are to challenge. As in the case of our demon race, it was because we became more powerful and were not satisfied with our resources, that we began to invade humans. As history continues to advance and military technology continues to improve, the role of our demon race's physical superiority is becoming less and less, and one day humans will counter-press us."

Yes, right.

I also began to ponder.

Because of the existence of magic in the other world, this world does not focus on the development of science.

Lack of attention does not mean lack of development. The weak human beings will try to make up for their shortcomings in terms of physical quality. This world is not a magic world, except for me no one can easily blow up a building.

Sooner or later, technology will play a leading role in this world's arena, but it just so happens that the magic of the demons is more powerful. So demons do not care to study this knowledge, and the ones who lead the world's technological development will certainly be humans.

If the soul in Yiluodiya's body is not me, a human on earth, should the script of this world follow that development?

I don't think I can rely on the knowledge I learned on Earth to lead the development of this world's civilization, not to mention that in my previous life I was an ordinary person without any motivation. I don't know whether changes or mutations I bring to this world if spreading my advanced knowledge to the people of this world casually.

But when I looked up to my master, I thought that the person in front of me could combine my knowledge with the knowledge of this world to lead the world’s civilization forward, and to push it forward .

"Well, good."

The master smiled even brighter and rubbed my hair hard.

It seems that the master is opening his mind-reading skills again without me noticing.

But I've just turned eighteen on Earth, and now I'm a bit sorry I didn't study properly.

"It's okay. That's enough already."

After the master put her hand down, I reshuffled my hair.

Looking at my master's smiling appearance, I was in a bit of a trance.

"Master, why must we take the human kingdom?"

After I asked this question, the master's smile faded and she fell into silence.

In fact, there are countless ways to make the demon kingdom strong, such as using the knowledge I brought from the earth to focus on construction or something. With my presence humans are not too bold to recklessly wage war against the demons.

If only because of hatred ...

Minnis is right. Not only is the master poor, but every war so many families also shattered.

Although it is sad that a generation of wise demon king was killed by humans, is the master really so selfish only because humans killed her parents and risked the destruction of the empire to attack humans alone?

Now the demon kingdom falls into mess in other aspects in addition to military affairs, and the master also gave the world the impression of a tyrant.

Yes, people thought that the master was a tyrant.

Since I got close to the master to understand her, I do not think the master is a tyrant, only occasionally I am confused about what the master thinks.

The master is still too mysterious. She never told me what was on her mind, and I never knew what she was thinking.

Finally the master smiled.

"Do you know anything about the human kingdom?"

I looked at my master in a daze, not quite understanding, but not at all understanding.

"Their royal family has not changed since the unification of humanity. But such a long reign of a thousand years never decayed, and a large part of the credit is due to the constant invasion of our demons. The history books are one-sided."

I was confused while listening.

"Okay. Don't think too much. Go to get some rest."

I looked down at the master before leaving reluctantly from the stool. Because I do not want to leave the air surrounded by the master's breath. When I stay with the master I will feel very warm, psychological warmth.

"So...master if you sometimes feel bitter, you can talk to me about it."

So far the masterstill gives me the feeling of being too mysterious. Although I now basically understand what kind of person the master is, I do not understand the master's heart at all.

"Hmm. I'm happy that you're around to talk to me."

Although the master didn’t answer my question, I was still so happy.

I could not help but smile and then walked back to my bed to change into my pajamas. I then lay down on my side to look at the master in front of the table, who began to turn up a thick mountain of books aside.

Under the soft yellow light, the master was concentrating on flipping through the book. She thought of something and jotted something down in the book.

As usual the master is waiting for me to fall asleep but she does not sleep.

I have gotten used to it, but the way the master concentrated on her work made me start to be attracted.

The impression of the master has always been cloaked in long dark red hair. I always thought that the master is the kind of ice like cold rigid beauty. I don't know why today. When I look at the master occasionally stroking the hair by the cheeks to the ears, I begin to feel that the master is just an ordinary woman. But just... topped with the crown of the demon king she had to be cold and arrogant.

"What are you writing, master?"

I asked quietly, thinking the master didn't hear me, but the pen that was written in the master's hand paused after I said it.

"Record the knowledge of that world of yours."

"Oh."

I thought I could help the master in this area, but I didn't need to do it. I was worried that I would disturb her.

"Then master, if there is anything unclear you can come and ask me."

The master nodded and continued writing in the pen in her hand. For my part, I closed my eyes in satisfaction, and the last scene remaining in my mind was the figure of my master, so I embraced the illusion of nothingness and fell asleep in the night.
