I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue still remembered that the last time he met Galarick, this skeleton knight did not dare to "rashly" contact Scourge Rigg. The answer analyzed by the Demon Illustrated Handbook was this: the wielder of the bone sword is the master of all skeletons, and rash contact may lead to enslavement.

Why didn't he dare to approach at that time, but now he dares?

"Are you waiting for me?" Li Yue asked, but his mind was exploring the Labyrinth of Confusion, and found that he could no longer find any trace of the gnoll trickster... He slipped away quickly.

"I have been waiting... for half a full moon..." Galarick replied, bowing his head.

[The wielder of the bone sword... the great Lord Scourge Rigg...]

Li Yue was of course also listening to Galarick's inner thoughts. Hearing Galarick praise himself so much, he instantly gained confidence—this guy's attitude seems to have changed a bit, what's going on?

"Now you've waited." Li Yue wasn't sure if Scourge Rigg and Galarick were familiar with each other, so he left some leeway in his words.

[The gnoll was driven away... bone matter is being continuously sent to the Demon Kitchen... I thought Lord Scourge Rigg had been enslaved by the Master of the Brains... Now it seems not... He can even break the restrictions of the closed-door war training, and come and go freely...]

Galarick thought a lot in an instant, and Li Yue became more and more confident—it turned out that this skeleton knight didn't dare to enter the library before... He was afraid that the master would be enslaved by the Master of the Brains, and he would also become a slave.

At this moment, Li Yue was wearing the "Uninhibited Bony Trendsetter", and he was accompanied by Egg and Shadow. It was not difficult for Galarick to see that the Demon Child of the Skeleton Clan... already had a certain status in the library, and even in the closed-door war training.

Then, Li Yue suddenly realized that he had been a little too cautious about being exposed—obviously, the bone sword came with the virtual authority of the Skeleton Clan. Facing it is equivalent to facing the Skeleton King... Why should the Skeleton King explain anything? Within the scope of the clan, isn't he free to do whatever he wants?

Apart from Skeleton King Lydred, who would dare to ask him for an explanation?

Thinking of this, Li Yue finally let go and sat on the egg in a carefree manner, further deepening Galarick's reverence.

But the skeleton knight dared to ask Li Yue for an explanation.

"I observed... that you participated in the third round of the Slaughter Cup, and your bones... were also sent to the Demon Kitchen..." Galarick also spoke halfway, but his inner thoughts were completely seen by Li Yue.

[How did you do it... Are you trading with the Demon Kitchen... Could it be that you are also trading with the Master of the Brains?]

Galarick's knowledge was limited, and he had many questions in his heart, but he didn't ask them thoroughly.

With the bone sword in hand, Li Yue was in a great mood and boldly made up a story—it wasn't really a fabrication.

"I have a cooperative relationship with the Master of the Brains, and the bones sent to the Demon Kitchen... are a transaction with the Head Chef." Li Yue's words explained the abnormal changes in the library, and also explained the whereabouts of the Self-Healing Bones.

Li Yue didn't hide the relationship between the library and the skeletons—Buddybooger was covered in bones at the Slaughter Cup, "Little Ruckus" was making trouble in the Labyrinth of Confusion, and the library was constantly transporting Self-Healing Bones to the Demon Kitchen...

Even a fool could guess that the Skeleton Clan and the library were cooperating, which could almost be made public.

The only thing that needed to be kept secret was the ownership of the library's authority—it was not yet certain that Galarick was completely trustworthy. Li Yue still wanted to use Buddybooger as a shield, and then use Scourge Rigg as a second identity.

In this way, Li Yue could safely control everything from behind, with a great buffer.

Thinking about it, Li Yue also muttered—he didn't expect that "Scourge Rigg", which was originally used to participate in the closed-door war training... this identity would survive for so long, perhaps it really has the potential to become the next Skeleton King?

"Then what?" Li Yue continued to question Galarick, feeling it was quite convenient—he only needed to repeat this sentence, and the skeleton knight would automatically answer in his heart.

[Your cooperation with the Master of the Brains... is going smoothly... and you are also cooperating with the Demon Kitchen... What do you want to do in the library...]

Next, Galarick revealed his intention, and caught Li Yue off guard, causing his brain to buzz.

"I want to ask you, Lord..."

"The day when the Thirteenth Library Room opens..."

"Has it finally arrived?" Galarick threw out a heavy question.

Li Yue suddenly understood, and instantly connected the movements of the two skeletons—when he first met Scourge Rigg, wasn't this guy playing the "Song of Decay" at the entrance of the Thirteenth Library Room?

At that time, Li Yue thought it was a promotion ceremony for the Skeleton Clan... Now it seems not so simple, maybe it is related to opening the Thirteenth Library Room.

And Galarick, as a skeleton knight, volunteered to serve the Skeleton Clan, so he saw Scourge Rigg at the third Slaughter Cup and chased him here.

After chasing him here and seeing the abnormality of the library, he was not sure whether the Skeleton Prince still retained his autonomous consciousness, and he believed that he was not a match for the Master of the Brains, so he did not venture into the library to investigate, waiting for Scourge Rigg to take the initiative to appear in the fourth Slaughter Cup before inquiring.

Restoring the behavior path of Scourge Rigg and Galarick, Li Yue did not expect that the problem of the Thirteenth Library Room, which he had put aside for a long time... might find an answer here.

"Then you, talk about what you know... about the Thirteenth Library Room." Li Yue spread his hands and scratched his head. "Recently, my head... is filled with too much chaos..."

[As expected... Lord Scourge Rigg... his bones... his hair... has he advanced? Or has he mutated?]

Galarick automatically made up the reason for Li Yue's forgetfulness, not sure which one it was, and Li Yue didn't need to say more.

"I only know... that in the Skeleton Clan... there is a very special existence, and only by gaining His approval will you have the qualifications to become the Skeleton King..." Galarick's answer was consistent with his thoughts, "And releasing Him, the Skeleton Clan will rise again, reshape the new Demon King City order, and even become the Skeleton King who is crowned City Lord."

"He is in the Thirteenth Library Room."

Li Yue could feel the fanatical emotion in Galarick's heart—if he hadn't known from Inner Meryl that Lydred was sleeping in "Dreamland", Li Yue would have even suspected that the one in the Thirteenth Library Room... was the Skeleton King himself.

"Hmm... the Thirteenth Library Room..." Li Yue pondered Galarick's meaning, thinking that it was a good thing that he had never played that "Song of Decay" again, quietly putting aside the problem of the Thirteenth Library Room—what does the rise of the Skeleton Clan have to do with him?

If there were some treasures inside that could be exchanged for money, Li Yue felt that it would be worthwhile to try opening it, but now... of course, it is still put aside, lest something terrible be released.

"There are priorities, I have my own sense of proportion." Li Yue perfunctorily said, "I'll make plans after I free up my hands..."

[That's right... closed-door war training... Slaughter Cup... transactions with the Demon Kitchen... mutation... Lord Scourge Rigg has too many things to worry about...]

[Wait a minute... could it be... that Lord Scourge Rigg is stealing the authority of the library?]

Galarick thought so, and then became awestruck—he had only mastered the virtual authority of the Skeleton Clan, and he was already eyeing the library?

[That's right, Buddybooger is injured, it's a good time to usurp authority...]

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Galarick was completely convinced by Li Yue and was ready to offer his service.

"Yes." Li Yue knew that Galarick would take the initiative to ask, and now he finally had another chance to stretch out the bone sword, "In the fourth round of the Slaughter Cup, we will be fighting alongside the Brains, you can serve me..."

Li Yue hadn't even said the specific needs yet, and Galarick had already burst into fighting spirit.

[I will definitely kill all the gnolls... Gnolls are not suitable as mounts...]
