Chapter 14 Sending a Thousand Miles(1/2)
The iron pot with syrup slowly turned under the control of Dikao, and the viscous syrup also flowed slowly.
After feeling it was almost done, Dikao picked up the iron pot and slowly poured the syrup on top of the twenty strings of candied haws that had been inserted into the tray next to it.
Looking at the fruit petals wrapped in crystal clear syrup, Dikao nodded slightly.
"My King, what is this?" Grey asked while wiping his saliva from the side.
"I can give you one later, don't tell anyone!" Dikao continued to work hard.
"As for your order!" Grie stared at the candied haws and nodded.
…………
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Fax came to the door of Dikao's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Fax opened the door and walked in, seeing Decao thinking about something with his chin on one hand.
"My king, all the ore veins in the territory have been investigated, there are two iron ore and one ruby ore."
"Very good!" Dikao nodded, "We lack nothing here, and we need to work hard. Summon the skeleton soldiers and start mining immediately."
"But my king, no businessman dares to come to our place to do business even if he dig it out." Fax was a little helpless.
"That's right..." Dikao nodded in agreement, then was stunned, "Isn't it all scaring you!"
"..." Fax lowered his head and curled his lips. It was obvious that you, the devil, had a reputation, but why did we scare us?
After all, we are humans, okay? Fax complained wildly.
If Dikao heard his complaints, he would definitely explain it, and there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, Dikao's territory is quite special. There are a total of five human empires in eight directions, and the remaining Kroger Mountains is the territory of the beast tribe.
When he had just traveled through time, Dikao, who had just been promoted to adult demon, knew nothing.
He directly sent people to the surrounding empires to send letters to establish diplomatic relations, but the others directly sent brave men to kill him.
If you are bullied, you must fight back, and they will not listen to the explanation.
In desperation, Dikao killed several brave men in a row, and two of them were still used as crafts in Alisa's room.
Then he became a vicious demon king in the surrounding human empire, the kind that could scare children to cry.
"Speaking of it, Fax," Dikao turned his head and looked over, "How long have you been with me?"
"I have been here for fifteen years," Fax replied.
"Well, I may have found the problem." Dikao nodded, "Think about it carefully, I haven't seen you for fifteen years. It's also a weird look!"
"Eh?" Fax was a little puzzled. Is the key to the problem here?
"You necromancers wear big cloaks and big hoods every day, and look dark, and you will be burned to ashes when you see the sunshine or what?"
"Uh... it's not like that." Fax didn't react a little, "the master of his subordinates has always dressed up like this, so..."
"I just discovered this problem now!" Dikao supported the table with both hands, "The Demon Eye can directly see magic, so I didn't pay attention to this, but you are all humans, and you usually dress like this, how do you recognize each other?"
"This, if we are familiar with each other, we will naturally..."
"Okay, that doesn't matter," Dikao waved his hand, "You took off this cloak outside!"
"Take it off?"
"If you let you take it off, just take it off, don't talk nonsense!" Dikao said impatiently.
"Yes!" Fax agreed and took off the wide cloak outside.
In Dikao's complex expression, Fax revealed his true self, a middle-aged handsome man.
Fax is about 1.8 meters tall and has short brown hair slightly curly.
Maybe it's because the sun is gone all year round, so the skin is a bit sickly and pale.
A dress of linen clothes and a pair of soft-soled boots in the animal skin still made him look like the most ordinary adventurer, the mercenary in this world.
"Isn't this handsome?" Dikao leaned against the chair, "Why do you usually dress like that?"
"My king, the necromancers dress like this..." Fax seemed a little cramped when he was not used to wearing a cloak in front of Dikao.
"Damn... are you afraid of scaring the kids or what?" Dikao shook his head, then slapped the table and stood up, "Go, follow me to the back mountain!"
"You want to..."
"Well, let's go!" Dikao took Fax out of the castle.
…………
Necromancers who were summoned to gather at the door of the back mountain laboratory looked at Dikao standing on the laboratory bench and Fax next to him, and whispered.
"Who is that? My King's newcomer?"
"You ask me?"
"It looks like a human or a half-human?"
"Is it possible that it is a newcomer?"
...
Listening to the whispers below, Dikao looked at Fax with his eyes slanted.
Fax blushed and lowered his head and didn't know what to say.
"Ahem!" As Dikao cleared his throat, the crowd in front of him also quieted down.
"To gather you together today is a new order..." Dikao said loudly.
The Necromancers didn't speak and were still motionless now.
"Now, everyone!" Dikao raised his voice suddenly, "I took off my cloak!"
“Eh?”
The necromancers in the audience were stunned, as if they were not clear about the situation.
"My King, what you are talking about..." asked a necromancer in the front row, "Take off your cloak?"
"Do you still want me to repeat?" Dikao said with his eyes, "You don't even recognize Tmofax, why do you still wear this thing every day? Take it off all!"
“…”
Seeing the Demon King get angry, the Necromancers took off their cloaks and revealed their original appearance.
There are old and young, there are men and women.
The next moment, everyone looked at their companions around them with surprise.
"Oh~Mazel, so you look like this!"
"Oh my God, Begas! So you are a man!"
"No, right? Raul, you are so flat...Oh! Don't beat me, don't beat me..."
...
Facing the bustling crowd, Dikao frowned slightly.
"Quiet! It's so noisy!" Dikao waved his hand violently.
"Let me listen to them all, don't let me see anyone wearing a big cloak that covers my face again." Dika Orange said, "If I see someone wearing a cloak, hang it on the head of the castle door and whip it for three days and three nights!"
The mages below all expressed their understanding that the pressure of the demon king on the opposite side was silent and did not dare to say more nonsense.
"You should dress up when you're fine in the future. Don't wear it like trying to scare people on purpose!" Dikao said, "That's it, do whatever you should do!"
After saying that, he took off his clothes and spread his wings and flew back to his castle.
The necromancers left behind looked at each other, and then looked at their companions who seemed to have just met, not knowing what to say.
…………
Dikao flew directly above the castle to the kitchen.
Seeing that the candied haws in the tray had almost solidified, Grey was still watching by the tray.
"Come on!" Dikao smiled and picked up a string and handed it over, "For you!"
"Thank you, my king!" Grey took it and couldn't wait to take a bite.
Dikao also picked up a string and ate it, nodded, "Just that's it, it's normal!"
Grey next to him didn't understand. He was obviously so delicious, why did he feel it was average?
Dikao didn't care what she thought, and waved his hand and put the remaining candied haws into the space ring.
"Don't tell anyone else about this!" Dikao reminded.
"Abide by the order!" Grie replied vaguely.
The shiny red eyes and a slightly baby-fat face make you feel cute.
Dikao, who returned to his room, looked at the sky outside the window and pondered for a moment. He didn't know if his mind was twitching, but suddenly made a decision temporarily.
To be continued...
