I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“Greetings…” The beginning Li Read designed for Egghead was still very “polite,” but the more he wrote, the less that was the case.

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Overall, this letter was a threat—Egghead threatened Mento, saying… that if he didn't lift the confinement on Damon Benben and Redcoat, he would go on a hunger strike.

Of course, at Egghead's own suggestion, the letter was also worded harshly—Li Read even suspected that Egghead really wanted to take the opportunity to anger Mento, so he could get flicked on the forehead.

After experiencing the “baptism” of Galarek and the Gnoll leader's mace, Egghead was still not satisfied, but instead became increasingly addicted.

The letter was written, folded, and Li Read handed it to Redcoat; the red-robed priest threw the newly-taken Mento fragment onto the envelope, seemingly completing the address.

The table in the bedroom suddenly twisted briefly around the envelope; when Li Read came back to his senses, the letter was gone.

“Sent it?” Li Read was also a little nervous—currently, Mento was quite accommodating to Egghead, but he could obviously see that this letter was written at his instigation, and he didn't know what the reaction would be.

Li Read felt that Mento didn't have any good way to deal with him either; as long as he was walking the path of the Demon King, the Demon King mentor wouldn't hinder him too much, and plucking the Demon King mentor's feathers sounded exactly like something a Demon King would do.

“Well… next, we can share… your tactics… and my rituals, right?” Compared to potential gains, Redcoat was of course more concerned with whether the ritual could proceed smoothly.

Now that they had signed a contract, Li Read was not stingy about sharing tactics with Redcoat, and could also learn about the ritual that this red-robed priest was willing to cooperate with the Son of the Devil… to achieve.

Redcoat's ritual process was actually easy to understand, but Li Read found it difficult to understand its principles—Redcoat only needed to collect a hundred souls within the ritual range.

That is to say, that night, when a hundred monsters died in the arena, Redcoat's ritual was considered complete, and there were no restrictions on the types of souls that died.

And when Li Read asked if it was possible to distinguish between the souls of Brainlings and Gnolls, Redcoat pondered for a moment: “It is possible, but it would require a small modification to the ritual…”

“But are there that many enemy souls?” In Redcoat's perception, the arena must be a bloodbath; how could one side be unscathed?

“Enough, including their leader, there are definitely more than that number…” This was also an important reason why Li Read agreed to bring Redcoat—Gnolls, in abundance.

You're going to wipe out their whole family… Although Redcoat didn't know how many members were in a Gnoll family, the number one hundred would only be considered small in the Abyss Maw; in the Forbidden Forest, it was already a large force.

Redcoat's gaze towards Li Read changed slightly—just this skeleton, killed the Demon King Commander's 977th son and his guards, killed the Demon Wolf Prince Finley, and now he's targeting the Gnoll family?

What a big appetite.

“Okay, I will adjust my ritual.” Redcoat lowered his head, somewhat regretting that he hadn't paid much attention to the skeleton infantry during the Blood River simulation battle…

Just who is this skeleton?

“Okay, happy cooperation.” Li Read nodded to the red-robed priest, thinking that this was a relatively good start to cooperation—it had been a long time since he had met a normal guy, and Redcoat's cooperation was commendable.

“Really won’t explode?” Li Read and Redcoat's deal was coming to an end; the time waiting for Mento's reply was difficult to endure, and Egghead asked again.

But this time, without Redcoat answering, the sudden voice in his ear diverted Egghead's attention.

“Okay.”

Mento's voice.

Li Read was stunned, unsure if it was his imagination.

“Did you guys hear that?” Li Read confirmed with Redcoat, who nodded, and then suddenly heard cheers from the entertainment room and the data room.

The cheers of Damon Benben and Nete Miel.

Two flying Sons of the Devil rushed in like a gust of wind, one eager to try, the other as if they had received an unexpected gift, very surprised.

“You did it.” Damon Benben said.

“People can go out too… Do you want to take you to play with my sisters?” Nete Miel winked at all the Sons of the Devil in the bedroom.

Mento allowed all the Sons of the Devil to freely enter and exit the library?

?

Doing enough, really knows how to find trouble for himself…

Li Read became more and more familiar with Mento's style—if you want three blessings, I'll give you six; if you want to let two Sons of the Devil out, I'll let them all out.

What to do? Was he going to turn this Slaughter Cup into a carnival for all the Sons of the Devil?

Li Read originally thought of only letting Damon Benben and Redcoat out, and the remaining Sons of the Devil would bet with him; but with Mento doing this, his only chip left was control of the battlefield?

That's enough though… enough to persuade the other Sons of the Devil to cooperate with him… Li Read silently calculated.

As for Mai Mai and Pigo, they didn't make much noise; these two originally didn't have much desire to participate in the Slaughter Cup, and suddenly hearing Mento say “Okay”… they might not even have realized that they could freely enter and exit the library.

“Well, Mento agreed, you don't have to thank me, I didn't plan to take you along.” Li Read was a little afraid that Nete Miel would misunderstand.

“What a pity… Don't you want to go out on a date with me? I have many sisters, you can like any kind~” Nete Miel was in a great mood.

“Not interested.” Li Read's hands were full of things to do, but Damon Benben wrapped his chains around Nete Miel's neck, intending to ride her out for a spin first.

“You have abided by the contract, and I will abide by it too.” Damon Benben shook the chains at Li Read, referring to the matter of tonight's “Hero Studies.”

Li Read wasn't worried about the deal in “Hero Studies”; right now, he was more worried about the situation in the library—with so many Sons of the Devil freely entering and exiting, what if they accidentally hurt the Brainlings and Mini Mini… that would be bad.

Fortunately, Damon Benben and Redcoat's interests were already tied to the Slaughter Cup, and Li Read decisively telepathed to them: “If you want the fourth match of the Slaughter Cup to go smoothly, don't offend Budibog these days.”

Li Read didn't dare to directly ask the Demon Scribe and the red-robed priest not to harm the Brainlings and Mini Mini, for fear of being caught by the sore spot, so he changed his wording.

At the same time, Li Read also telepathed to Yingying, telling it to remind the Mini Mini and Brainlings outside… to hide in the upper caves of the library and temporarily stop their activities.

“Of course not… After I go to the Hall of Pleasures, I will come back and talk to Budibog.” Damon Benben still looked like he didn't care about anything, the chains firmly wrapped around Nete Miel, “Can you help arrange it?”

Li Read thought of course he had to “arrange” it—many things he couldn't say conveniently could be left to Budibog to say.

However… the location was very important—with Budibog's personality, it was impossible for him to agree recklessly, it had to be in a place where both sides would feel “safe”…

“By the way, don't arrange it in the upper library, that's his lair, I won't go.” Damon Benben actually took the initiative to solve Li Read's troubles, “I can go anywhere else, even the Hall of Pleasures.”

“You want to talk to the Lord of Brainlings?” Nete Miel's eyes sparkled, “Miel also wants to go~”

“Okay, let's go together~ Let's meet the holder of the library's authority, the Lord of Brainlings, Budibog~” Damon Benben pinched Nete Miel's cheek.

“Well, I'll go ask him.” Li Read said softly, deciding to hurry back to the library to make arrangements.

“Okay~ See you in class tonight, waiting for your good news.” Damon Benben said, dragging the Nightmare Succubus out of the Gate of Chaos.

Li Read left Redcoat's bedroom and rushed to find the remaining two Sons of the Devil, while cursing Mento in his heart.

But just like Damon Benben, Mai Mai and Pigo also came to him, just a little later, and brought a piece of good news for Li Read.
