Chapter 12 Planning and Thinking(1/2)

When the sky began to turn white, people also walked out of the bed.

Life in this world is monotonous, entertainment is scarce, and most people have to run around for food, so they basically get up very early.

This is especially true in slums. People here do not have food to store, and their food is calculated on a daily basis. Once they cannot find a job today, they will go hungry.

So the people here have already left when it was just dawn.

On a not-so-distant path, there were already people whispering in a circle.

Two corpses were lying on the open space in the middle of the crowd.

The man's body is basically covered with whip marks, the woman's lower body is blue-purple, and her left leg is obviously broken.

These two people were not unknown little people in the slums, and soon a group of people came over.

The leader is a middle-aged man in his forties.

He was wearing a worn leather jacket with many patches, wearing riding boots, and looking at the two corpses on the ground with a gloomy face.

Scorpions and centipedes are both his powerful subordinates of the poisonous snake.

Now he is tortured to death in an unknown way, and his body is still thrown on the street, which is simply slapping him in the face!

"Boss," a thin man next to him squatted down and checked the bodies of the two. "The scorpion should have been beaten to death by a whip, and he lost too much blood, and the centipede's spine was broken."

"Check it out!" The poisonous snake gritted its teeth with a gloomy face, "Find it out for me, who is so brave and dares to kill me!"

"yes!"

…………

Perhaps because of the feeling of the sunshine shining on his face, Selena frowned and opened her eyes.

He lifted his dark blue quilt and got out of bed, took off his translucent pajamas and started to clean up.

I came back a little late yesterday, which makes me feel a little sleepy now.

The servant had already put the washed and dry clothes in the bathroom. After Selena washed up, she put on her clothes and walked out of her room.

There were already servants waiting outside the door for a long time, and when they saw Selena coming out and bent down slightly, "Miss, the master and the wife are already in the restaurant."

"Yeah!" Selena agreed with a stretch, twisting her neck and going downstairs.

The duke-level castle is quite large, and Selena's room is in the room on the third floor against the wall.

You need to walk to the middle of the third floor and go down the stairs to enter the restaurant.

In addition to his older brother Paslow and younger brother Rector, his father Burton and his mother Layla are also there.

Burton, wearing a white white shirt and a black vest, contrasted with his mother in a linen shirt.

Seeing Selena come in, Burton reaches out and takes down the cigar from his mouth.

"Selina," Burton touched his upper lip beard, "Why haven't you beat the Demon King this time?"

"Father!" Paslow frowned, "She has just returned. Do you want to question her before she has a good rest?"

"Yes," Mother Layla also advised, "If the Demon King was so easily defeated, this war would not last for five years!"

"Hmph! What do you know?" Burton glanced at his wife and eldest son with dissatisfaction, "Just because my daughter is a brave man, she has not killed the devil Dikao in five years! I can't even save myself from attending the party now!"

"That's it!" Reckett was also very dissatisfied, "When I went out, they all said that my sister was not worthy of her name and was very shameless!"

"Reckett!" Paslow turned his head and raised his voice, "How cowardly are you to expect Selena to earn face for you? She is a girl, why do you expect her to earn face for you?"

"She is a brave man!" Reckett retorted.

"She is your sister!" said Paslow. "When she was a child, she would protect you, but now you stand taller than her. Do you still want her to protect you? Is it embarrassing?"

"Paslow, you're too much!" Burton held the cigar in his mouth again, "Selina has her responsibility as a brave man!"

"What is your responsibility, then Father?" Paslow asked back, "What is my responsibility? Every time she comes back, she will force her to ask about the outcome of the battle, and then drive her to the battlefield to add glory that does not belong to us?"

"Paslow!" Burton's face turned ugly in an instant, "I am the head of the family! Here, you have to listen to me!"

"Enough!" Layla threw down the spoon, "If Selena had not been chosen as the brave, you are nothing! You would not have become a farmer to become a duke because of this! My daughter just came back from the battlefield, so please shut up!"

"You..." Burton wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

That's right, it's all about Selena who can become a duke, so he doesn't have the power to challenge his daughter.

Regarding the quarrel between the family, Selena's expression was plain and she finished drinking the porridge without saying a word.

"Well, today's porridge is good!" Selena reached out and grabbed a piece of toast, "Mother, just leave this kind of thing to the servants, you don't have to do it yourself."

"Well, it's not because you just came back..." Layla said.

"It's great, it still tastes the same!" Selena hugged her mother and put her face on each other, "I have something to go out today, so I don't have to prepare my portion for lunch."

As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the door, and waved his hand to Paslow, "Brother, I'm leaving!"

"Oh..." Paslow wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything.

The family just watched Selena's back disappear at the door, turning a blind eye to their quarrel, as if it had nothing to do with them...

"Damn!"

Dikao threw the card in his hand on the table with a "snap", "Are you two cheating?"

"My King, if you lose, you lose. You can't make excuses!" Alisa smiled.

"Yeah!" Carita nodded, "We both have thirty-six marshmallows!"

"Damn! I won't play with you again!" Dikao stood up, "I'd better play the piano for a while."

"My king, don't forget, thirty-six marshmallows!" Alisa reminded behind her back.

"It's a failure..." Dikao covered his face with one hand and walked into the castle hall.

"My King, are you injured?" asked Fax, who was walking towards him.

"I was fucked up." Dikao put down his hand helplessly, "By the way, I asked you to send someone to find the mineral veins last time, have you found it?"

"Last time... it was obviously the day before yesterday." Fax was a little helpless, "There are only one known iron ore, and the others have been sent to find them."

"Okay, I'll take this matter tight," Dikao nodded, "It's not easy for this poor and bad-sea man to find some business."

"Why do you want to do business?" Fax was puzzled, "You are the devil. Can you just grab the money if you want it?"

"What I want is not money or assets?" Dikao explained with his hands swaying, "Assets cannot be grabbed!"

"I don't understand," Fax shook his head, "Anyway, as long as there are a lot of gold coins and various gems, it's better."

"That's why you said you can't keep up with my thoughts," Dikao looked regretful, "This is not your stupidity, but the gap between the times..."

"My king, I think..."

"Damn! Are you the boss or I am the boss?" Dikao interrupted directly, "I don't want you to think, I want me to think!"

“…”

"Anyway, let me get this up, understand?" Dikao asked with a look of beating.

"Yes!" Fax nodded and agreed, "I'm going to leave!"

After leaving Dikao, Fax just shrugged and went to do things.

Almost all servants were not afraid when they were criticized by Dikao, because even if they made mistakes, they would just be beaten, but Dikao had never killed his own people.

This is the difference between him and other demon kings. Other demon kings will not play with their subordinates and have dinner together. If the servant makes a mistake, he will kill him directly if he is in a bad mood.

However, Dikao would not. The last time someone made a mistake, he was pressed to the ground and beaten up, and then nothing happened.

So now many servants dare to joke with Dikao.

As for usurping the throne?

Haha, although the Demon King has a good temper, it does not mean that he has poor strength. For those of them, the Demon King, who make a living by making a living with the Demon King, the Demon King can kill them with just one finger.

It's easier than breaking a toothpick!

But I have to say that everyone likes this atmosphere now.

On the other side, Dikao came to the hall and sat in front of the piano.

"Oh..." Dikao sighed to himself, "No, it's good to have such an employee..."

After taking a deep breath, your hands jumped on the keys.

As notes sounded from their fingers, Dikao calmed down a little bit.

While playing the piano, I began to think about what happened next.

The first step is to develop the economy.

But as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. There is a prerequisite for developing an economy that most people have to eat.

Of course it doesn’t matter to me. The demons can eat anything, and many demons even catch people directly to eat.

But it is not certain in other places. Not to mention anything else, there are many people in the Casg Empire who still can't eat.

Therefore, the prerequisite for developing the economy is to improve productivity!
