I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Realizing that the colosseum was useful to the Demon King's city also meant that he was useful to the Demon King.

Its effect should also be greater than being eaten directly.

That's why the Demon King summoned him, and why he wasted saliva talking instead of wasting saliva swallowing.

Therefore, safety was guaranteed.

Li Yue was also mentally prepared—if the "debts" of the colosseum had accumulated to the point where he couldn't bear them, then he might as well rebel like O'Keefe.

Anyway, it's impossible to work as a laborer.

"I appreciate your emotional changes," the Demon King said, sipping his wine and sitting more comfortably.

"The responsibilities... or rather, the debts of the Colosseum King include three parts," the Demon King said, holding up three fingers.

"The first, and most important, is to provide the desire for slaughter."

"The desire for slaughter?"

It's worthy of being the Guilty Demon King's city, no wonder He Gui and Hiki wanted the Demon King to die.

Spare your brain and butt...

"How much slaughter desire is needed? What happens if it's completed?" Li Yue felt that providing 3 units of slaughter desire in the first full moon was not easy.

"Well... you participated in the Slaughter Cup. To put it in terms you can understand..."

The Colosseum King needs to reserve weak demon gladiators, and then, like O'Keefe did during this expedition, dedicate the top 100 of them to Memphisto, to the great cause of the expeditionary force.

"Very good." The Demon King quite appreciated Li Yue's attitude.

Although the Demon King is a vampire and not a businessman, he must not be so simple.

What's more, there are also summoned otherworldly demons.

And then they all die.

Li Yue hurriedly tightened his mind.

Besides, after hearing the rules, He Gui had some vague ideas about completing this performance.

The Demon King was silent for a long time, seemingly not very good at mathematics either.

"The second responsibility of the Colosseum King is to have at least 30 or more low-level demons loyal to you." The Demon King wrote the number in the air with his fingertip using the wine in his glass.

Because if he hesitated slightly, maybe there would be 300 games every month...

The Demon King seemed to sense Li Yue's determination and raised an eyebrow.

For example, ritual needs, such as the fire tide curse of the Abyss Maw, or directly used as food for low-level demons.

Li Yue understood that these three months were the trial period for the Colosseum King.

"What the Demon King's city needs is the desire for slaughter, from the audience, the contestants, the listeners... These legends and classic battles that spread out from the colosseum will stably supply the desire for slaughter to the Demon King's city for thousands of years..."

The Demon King reminded Li Yue that debts cannot be very subjective either.

Moreover, obviously, this amount is completely different from when O'Keefe was in power—at that time, the Slaughter Cup had at most ten or so games a month, but when he took over, it directly tripled?

Li Yue slightly suspected that he was making it up on the spot.

These desires for slaughter will be sent to the treasury for transfer and tampering, sent to the Abyss Maw, the Great Altar, the Graveyard of Light, the Demon Kitchen... even sent to the Demon King himself, to satisfy our various needs.

"3 units every month," the Demon King said again, using a unit of measurement that Li Yue was very unfamiliar with.

"About what kind of task?" Regarding debts, Li Yue had to ask carefully.

If it's still too much, then he simply won't pay it back.

Li Yue finally realized that the desire for slaughter was a very basic resource for the Demon King's city.

"Do you understand?" The Demon King's voice was still lazy, as if he didn't care whether Li Yue understood.

"The colosseum's desire for slaughter has been cut off for a long time, and the Abyss Maw has consumed a lot. Memphisto is very hungry," the Demon King said with a smile, mentioning the quantity.

The Demon King's request was so clear.

"Since it's a debt, of course it can be in arrears, and the interest will be... 1 unit per month?" The Demon King's attitude was very cautious, "But when Damon Kirk calculates how much it is for you, that's not my business."

The next question was how long he could delay the debt, and who he had to kill to erase it.

The Great Pillars can be said to be slaves of the Demon King, but similarly, if the Demon King's demands are too excessive, the Great Pillars will of course rebel and want to pull the Demon King down...

Li Yue's head was naturally full of agreement.

Li Yue felt the subtle relationship between the Great Pillars and the Demon King.

"Okay."

"Units?"

"What O'Keefe owed before can all be offset by the income of the expeditionary force. Anyway, he's dead, so he doesn't need it," the Demon King actually kindly wiped out the debt?

Li Yue finally understood the pressure on He Gui and Hiki.

"Understood, understood." Of course, He Gui couldn't reveal his thoughts to the Demon King in the throne room.

"Then how much is it?" Of course, Li Yue needed to understand the scale of the "debt."

He Gui knew that the "debt" was not so simple. Now, upon hearing the word, he had some post-traumatic stress.

Now Li Yue didn't even have a "deadline."

As soon as the Demon King said it, Li Yue immediately understood the logic.

But the colosseum is the basic production site.

Every battle in the colosseum, every Slaughter Cup, is actually extracting the desire for slaughter for the Demon King's city.

"This is the reserve of permanent combat power in the Demon King's city, which will be used for the expeditionary force and all wars..."

He Gui finally understood the source of the dispute between himself and O'Keefe...

If those low-level demons had successfully advanced back to the Demon King's city, O'Keefe wouldn't have been so alone in the final ritual.

"Currently... the number of gladiators in the colosseum is 1, only you yourself," the Demon King swallowed the wine.

"What about the third responsibility? Didn't you say there were 3?" Li Yue asked about the last item, wanting to see what other tricks the Demon King's city had.

As long as there are enough demon points and enough time, summoning 300 warriors is fine.

"It won't ask you to tear off the ribs of the Heavenly Spine, they are all small things..."

"If the number of gladiators is not enough, or if the desire for slaughter does not meet the demand, then you don't need to be the King of the Colosseum, and you don't need to be 'you' anymore."

"If you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities for three months, let's calculate it together," the Demon King was too lazy to say more.

"Every 12 moons, you need to complete a certain task for me, which must be fulfilled unconditionally and cannot be delayed," the Demon King raised his glass to Li Yue.

"As for the time... let's make it three months. Within three months, 30 low-level demons."

The Demon King sipped his wine.

And said he would waive the debt?

Speaking of which, where did that vampire run off to?

But Li Yue, who had never made offerings before, of course didn't know how much 1 unit was.

"Yes, otherwise why have a colosseum? Corpses? The Demon King's city has many ways to obtain corpses, and the corpse production of the colosseum completely fails to meet the demand," the Demon King's answer opened up Li Yue's thinking.

If he could sign that Little Red Cloak, wouldn't he be able to become the top star gladiator in the colosseum?

"For example, inviting the Library to participate in the Slaughter Cup, things like that."

If the performance is not completed, he will die, or be worse than dead.

Of course, there are other pillars that can produce the desire for slaughter, such as the Abyss Maw.

"30 games every month," the Demon King emphasized again.

Regarding the number of gladiators, Li Yue wasn't very worried—the Library alone had Yingying, Egg, the Left and Right Guardians, Galarick Brain Spirit Seven Knights, etc...

"Great, so how much is it?" But on the surface, Li Yue still showed a distressed expression.

I wonder if there is a local vampire over there?

Judging from the state when O'Keefe was in power, Li Yue felt that the conditions the Demon King offered him should still be bearable. Although he was summoning Beelzebub in full swing, he hadn't immediately launched a counterattack against the throne room.

Li Yue realized how badly O'Keefe had been beaten in this expedition...

Every moon is easy to understand, isn't it a full moon?

He Gui didn't believe it.

"The third is you, you owe me separately."

Especially when the colosseum's land was gone.

"At the scale of the Slaughter Cup, without the stands being full, 30 games a month is 3 units every moon," the Demon King gave the answer.
