I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle
#398 - Let's have a shot
“Forbidden Forest…”
“Go stand over there. Do you think the library is your personal shooting range? Shoot wherever you want?”
Li Yue was a bit grumpy, and he was already busy customizing parts. He didn't have time to satisfy Harry's demands.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Harry's eyes, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back down.
【But in the Forbidden Forest… there are flies…】
“Flies?” Li Yue perked up immediately upon hearing this thought.
“If you don't believe me, look.” As he spoke, Harry handed over something resembling a flute made of Aberrant Eyes, also like a string of Aberrant Eye candied haws, eyeballs stacked upon eyeballs, restlessly turning.
Although the Shadow didn't have eyes, it didn't affect Li Yue's control over Egg's brain spirit body, plugging the wire into the Aberrant Eye flute.
Egg's brain spirit body had already been deconstructed, and Li Yue found it quite easy to use.
As for the flute itself, it was actually a telescope.
Harry also wanted to know the power and accuracy of the Bone Guidance Cannon, and the suspected target was Oogie Boogie, who was causing trouble in the Forbidden Forest.
The Demon King's City had few restrictions. A mere apprentice craftsman dared to look around recklessly, inevitably inviting curses or dirty things, dying without even knowing how.
“Alright, it's a good opportunity to assess the Demon King's absorption progress.” Shadow, considering from the dimension of absorbing information sources, actually agreed with Harry's approach, and had already warned him to be cautious.
“How about… we fire a shot?” Although Harry phrased it as a question, he already had the answer in his heart.
Immediately afterward, Harry thought of another question.
Finally, with the help of the telescope creation and the Demon King's City map, Li Yue confirmed a series of parameters, standing beside the firing button of the Bone Guidance Cannon.
“Fire. If we don't fire, where will the library's materials come from?” Harry was thinking about something else, “That telescope creation alone requires more than a dozen Aberrant Eyes to assemble. Think about the consumption…”
Seeing fly swarms in the Forbidden Forest was indeed an unexpected gain. After all, the Forbidden Forest was one of the areas where Oogie Boogie might be hiding. This was basically like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, finding a needle in a haystack.
As soon as Egg saw the Bone Guidance Cannon, its floating brain wanted to drill into the muzzle, before being pulled back by Harry and Shadow.
Otherwise, why wouldn't there be flies in the library?
“Should we fire?” Shadow wasn't sure about Harry's decision.
【Aberrant Telescope consists of several Aberrant Eyes, with early warning and load-sharing functions…】
“You did very well. This information is very important.” Li Yue first affirmed Li Yue's contribution.
After all, no one could sign soul contracts with all the flies in the world—the cost would be too high. Even if you caught all the Synthian snails in the world, you couldn't make that many contracts…
【Elevation difference 42 meters… firing angle 7°…】
The telescope zoomed in, narrowed, and enlarged, and Li Yue saw several swarms of flies swirling in the air deep within the Forbidden Forest.
“Think about how much goodwill this shot can bring back?” Harry's shadow gathered and dispersed, “Besides, the Demon Wolf King Fentus hasn't returned home yet, and the Forest Keeper is our old friend. I think it should also not want to see the Forbidden Forest infested with flies, right?”
“It really is flies in his magic cocoon…” Harry certainly knew the strong connection between Oogie Boogie and flies. Where flies appeared, Oogie Boogie was bound to be nearby.
Li Yue defaulted.
Although Li Yue didn't dare to speak, he was refuting with his own design in his heart.
The upper level of the library shook, and Li Yue and the three Demon Sons were overturned by the shockwave as a lava Bone Bullet giant cannon fell towards the Forbidden Forest.
“Um… look, it's over there…” Harry also admitted that this telescope didn't have much technical content, mainly relying on raw materials, and flicked the Aberrant Eye at the front end to adjust the direction for the Demon Sons.
Using a cannon to kill flies, let's see what the kill rate is…
“Fire.” Egg, on the other hand, simply missed the feeling of being shot out.
“Does he usually do this?” Harry didn't expect Li Yue to have this hobby.
“Ready.” Li Yue seemed to answer抢答 and slapped the button on the Bone Guidance Cannon.
“Come on, it's time for a test shot.” Harry notified Egg to use its authority to move the Bone Guidance Cannon and Bone Bullet, hidden deep in the workshop, to the outer edge of the upper level of the library, the muzzle roughly aimed towards the Forbidden Forest.
“Friend, it's all up to you! If you don't hit the fly swarms, I'll definitely chop off your head.” Egg encouraged from the side.
“Did you make this?” Li Yue subconsciously deconstructed it, finding that this telescope was quite useful for peeping, and quite expensive.
“But aren't you courting death?” Harry changed the subject.
Harry remembered that Li Yue used to be a paperboy, so being a little gossipy was perfectly normal.
Egg transmitted the scene it saw in real-time, and Li Yue also used the perspective of the Aberrant Eye to see the scene outside.
If it was the former, then Harry slightly agreed. This was the protection mechanism Oogie Boogie used to block the eighth method of devouring authority.
Previously, when using the Magic Guidance Cannon, Harry either shot at close range or used Shadow to calibrate, but it was impossible to personally control all the Bone Guidance Cannons in the world…
Firstly, he had promised him. Secondly, as an apprentice craftsman, Li Yue knew the performance of the Bone Guidance Cannon best. Thirdly, if even a mortal with no strength could hit accurately, then the Bone Guidance Cannon would truly have meaning.
This time, Harry wanted Li Yue to complete the first test shot of the Bone Guidance Cannon.
Besides the heroes he hated, Li Yue also hated the flies that crushed the heroes, and also Oogie Boogie.
Li Yue repeatedly calculated the settings of several key data points.
Through the outer wall of the library and the mist rising with malice, Li Yue saw the vast Forbidden Forest.
So Harry cooperated with Egg to continue making parts according to the requirements, embedding the templates of the Demon Illustrated Book, while waiting for Li Yue to complete the fixation of the tentacle grounding, shock absorption, calibration of the cannon body angle and muzzle firing angle, filling of the Bone Bullet, and other procedures.
The night breeze and moonlight rushed into the upper level of the library, bringing a sense of coolness and restlessness.
The smell outside the washroom was still pungent.
According to Harry's previous habits, he shouldn't rashly attack when the situation in the Forbidden Forest was unclear, but rather take advantage of the fly swarms to sneak in and take the opportunity to find Oogie Boogie's location.
Harry urgently needed agreement, and Shadow was once his shadow, so of course, he knew this logic.
“Alright, I'll just tell you that there is this possibility. Your life is yours. If you want to see, then see.” Harry didn't dwell on it, as if when temporarily residing in the Shadow Demon's body, he had fewer things to worry about.
Harry didn't think that one shot could kill all the flies. Logically speaking, when checking the crater later, he should still be able to find survivors, which would be good to bring back to Tom.
Because the former Harry always wanted to hide in the shadows, prepare everything thoroughly before acting, rarely making such very temporary decisions.
It was like an old woman knitting a sweater while watching her child play with toys.
If this shot couldn't blast out the Demon King, then it could prove that most likely those strong individuals who had absorbed faith and flesh were still sleeping.
“Ready?” Harry called Egg to open the outer walls, and the Forbidden Forest spread out layer upon layer from near to far.
So upon seeing the fly swarms in the telescope, Li Yue immediately reported to Harry, attempting to fire a test shot from afar.
Are these flies part of Oogie Boogie, or are they also considered demons of the arena?
