I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“Acheng, is that you, Acheng?”

Li Yue greeted the Demon King City.

“Ugh…”

The Demon King City's response was very slow, so slow that every word felt like a century, almost as slow as the ancient trees in the Forbidden Forest.

[Acheng?]

Li Yue quickly changed his method of communication.

[City Defense Commander… willing to serve you.]

The Demon King City's response finally became more normal, and the shadow instantly became much thicker, showing great curiosity towards Acheng.

[The Demon King City is alive!]

[With so many demons inside, it's not surprising that it has life.]

Eight small pillars, nine large pillars, vegetable gardens, demon markets, and so on—the Demon King City's answer was consistent with Li Yue's understanding.

Li Yue felt that it was a good opportunity to understand the Demon King.

[How would he know? Does he retain memories from the past?]

Li Yue asked, seeking clarification.

The Demon King City is only loyal to the current Demon King. Retaining memories of past Demon Kings might cause confusion.

[Does it have limbs?]

Like how the Library is understood to be the brain, but actually corresponds to "knowledge"; the Abyss Maw is understood to be the heart, uterus, and blood, but the corresponding authority is war and slaughter.

Acheng directly recited the current Demon King's demonic name.

Listening to Acheng's fierce words, Li Yue asked in more detail, finally understanding how the Demon King City could and could not cooperate with him—anything involving changes to the terrain, city walls, internal structure, and internal roads, the Demon King City could not directly accomplish for Li Yue.

How does this Akasha calculate?

However, the shadow completely ignored Li Yue and directly wrapped around the small Demon King City, beginning to deconstruct it.

Acheng raised a matchstick-thin hand and hid it in front of him.

[What do you want limbs for?]

That kind of understanding is the same as the authority corresponding to the essence of a certain area.

Even if Bian Chun wanted to dress the Demon King City in a floral skirt, Acheng would do it without hesitation.

[Um, what can he do for you?]

Li Yue realized that, at most, he would have to see Bao'er, the Dice of Destiny, and Damon's notebook once more.

[The Forbidden Forest is your body hair.]

The Hall of Joy is the Demon King City's emotions, the Casino is the Demon King City's desires, the Small Altar is its etiquette and sense of ritual, the Colosseum is the Demon King City's strength, the Treasury is the Demon King City's pocket money…

As for how to understand "The Last Vampire"? Does that mean that in this world, only Aruswin can remain as a vampire?

Perhaps even seeing Damon Kirk.

Li Yue roughly understood Acheng's role, began partitioning it in a certain part of his brain, and considered how the Demon King City should welcome the next round of attacks from the Imperial Army.

[The Laboratory is your homework.]

[The next one? You know.]

Li Yue was curious—even if it manifested larger, it was still the Demon King City. Could it provide any convenience for the shadow?

Li Yue finally completely suspected that the Demon King City was alive.

The shadow was silent.

Acheng thought that Bian Chun was talking to him and immediately prepared to execute the City Defense Commander's orders.

[He should fulfill his responsibility to protect you, the war that day.]

It is being understood as alive.

[Aruswin, the 24th Demon King, the Last Vampire, the wielder of the Blood River, the red and white master who occupies the throne.]

Li Yue heard the Demon King's name and suddenly realized—no wonder he had seen the Blood River in the Expeditionary Force; it turned out that the instructor of war studies was not directly under the Demon King.

[If you must have limbs, humans are your limbs… ]

[Of course.]

[Can, it's very labor-saving, ask away, I'm busy… ]

[Who is the city lord?]

It was reasonable for the vampire Demon King to wield the Blood River.

[You change shape for him that day, put on new clothes for him, build a comfortable room for him… ]

Bian Chun needed to first confirm what the City Defense Commander could enable the Demon King City to do.

[The Library is his brain?!]

Ripples arose in the darkness, with a hint of blood.

[The Library is his brain, what is the Laboratory?]

Although the vanguard army was wiped out overnight, not a single river died. The empire was still absorbing the power of the Holy See and becoming huge. That war had not even started.

[The Hall of Joy, the Casino, the Small Altar, the Colosseum, the Treasury… ] Li Yue continuously listed the various areas of the Library, and the Demon King City explained what each corresponded to.

Li Yue asked into the empty darkness, unable to find the specific location of the Demon King City.

Just like the post-war meeting of the Expeditionary Force.

Li Yue thought for a moment, not dwelling on that messy account, afraid of being blamed.

[To what extent will he die when this is fought?]

[What about the Forbidden Forest?]

Acheng scratched the base of the city and talked about the ongoing war.

Acheng shook his body and admitted.

[Does the Demon King City have several authorities?] Li Yue turned to ask the Demon King City.

[The Library is your brain.]

Li Yue was very curious about the answer to this question.

[Seventeen, Forbidden Forest, Abyss Maw… ]

[The Blood Cocoon is your heart and uterus.]

[You only remember what the master asked you to remember, the important things, all forgotten.]

If you want to clarify these contents, Li Yue needs to interact with the masters of other areas' authorities.

Li Yue turned to the shadow and said.

[Good, understood.]

[Understood, brainwashed.]

Acheng puffed out his chest and raised his head, his solid body expressing a hesitant attitude.

[Abyss Maw?]

[What about the next Demon King?]

The Demon King City had no reaction to the shadow's hands, standing upright nearby, waiting for the City Defense Commander's questions.

[But not as cute as me.]

[Can I ask you a few questions, Acheng?]

Bian Chun was stunned and began to look at the Demon King City in another way.

[Is your blood.]

[Don't.] Bian Chun hurriedly agreed, [Wait a minute, what did you say?]

[The previous sentence.]

Imagining a Demon King City in a floral skirt standing on the continent of Chaos, Li Yue already had a bit of anticipation.

[Someone was pulling your body hair just now, it hurt a little.]

[The Library is not your brain, do you want to wash it?]

If the Demon King City is alive, and the Library is its brain, then the other areas… all have some kind of corresponding or symbiotic relationship with the Demon King City itself?

The Demon King City seemed to sense Li Yue's inconvenience and manifested into a small castle the size of a dog, with hands and feet, standing in front of the brain and the shadow.

When Li Yue saw that the Demon King City had life, could communicate, and was very cooperative, he immediately became excited—there were too many secrets about the entire Demon King City that Li Yue wanted to know.

Or have all the previous vampires been absorbed by Aruswin?
