I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

It has to be said that Gamma's rich vocals, combined with the lively and melodious flute, immersed the listeners, as if they were in a magnificent fortress. 【】

The lyrics mentioned that the noose of the demons was gradually tightening, but the skeleton's neck was a trap full of bone spurs… …

“Wait, stop.” Li Yue didn't fully understand the metaphor and immediately interrupted Gamma.

“Huh?” Gamma was a little annoyed.

“The meaning of the noose… …is those fortresses, right?” Li Yue asked a boring question.

“Yes, Noose One to Noose Five are the five fortresses built by the Empire on the banks of the Belt River. My lyrics are very clear.” Gamma was very sure of this.

The reason Li Yue interrupted Gamma, besides being a little confused, was that he suspected his singing had some kind of magic that was pulling him towards that battlefield.

Because he did see a magnificent fortress.

Li Yue didn't want to be plotted against by a bard for no reason, so he raised his sword and called for a stop.

“Okay, I understand, continue.” Li Yue waved his broadsword, signaling Gamma to continue.

“Dominoes are the tongues of demons, tempting all curious souls, attracting our attention… …” Hearing this, Li Yue was a little confused again.

“Stop.” Li Yue raised his sword, “What are dominoes? Why are dominoes tongues?”

“You haven’t seen them!? You haven’t seen dominoes?” Gamma was a little annoyed.

“Uh… …should I have seen them?” Li Yue thought to himself that he had only transmigrated the day before yesterday, how could he know so much.

“Damn it… …damn it… …there is a kind of domino in Demon King City that can directly project the shadow of war, haven’t you seen it? Haven’t you watched the live broadcast?”

Huh? Live broadcast?

Li Yue was dumbfounded.

Because in his understanding of this world, there shouldn't be such a thing.

Are there other transmigrators?

Li Yue suddenly became vigilant.

“God… …damn it, how closed and backward is Red Oil Town… …that it doesn’t even have dominoes?” Gamma determined that Li Yue wasn't joking, and the entire box creaked.

“Even these thieves didn't ask such obvious questions… …they only have the instinct to rob and survive… …they all have this kind of knowledge… …” Gamma gritted his teeth, bursting with great emotion.

Obviously, compared to Li Yue's threat, the fact that the listener couldn't understand the poem made him even more uncomfortable.

“You should consider that some people don’t know about dominoes.” Li Yue spread his hands, this time really looking forward to the continuation of the poem.

“It is a palm-sized bone, with eyeballs and tongues embedded in it, so it becomes the tongue of the demon… …” Gamma tried his best to explain to Li Yue.

His description was also very clear. Li Yue imagined a bone mobile phone with eyeballs and tongues embedded in it, and felt that this world might be more complicated than he thought.

“Do you understand?” Gamma confirmed with Li Yue.

“I understand, but I still have a question… …” Li Yue’s voice was a little quieter, as if he felt it was a little impolite to ask questions like this continuously.

“Speak.” Gamma lowered his voice.

“If there is such a thing as a domino live broadcast, its energy… …” Li Yue drew out his voice, observing Gamma's reaction, “Of course, it is magic power, then… …what is the purpose of the live broadcast?”

“Of course, it is to let more humans see the tragic failure! Of course, it is for the demons to make full preparations, and be confident that they can use this method to make us lose our will to fight!” Gamma had of course thought about this question on the way back to Red Oil Town from Demon King City. His answer pointed directly to the essence, but he didn't expect that the original intention of the dominoes, besides these, was to absorb malice.

“The more people see it, the more people will fear the demons… …”

“Fear, unease, hesitation… …these are the best bait for the demons.” Gamma himself was also shocked by everything that happened under the city, and his voice finally trembled a little.

“Then that is to say, the things you wrote in the epic are already things that mainstream humans have seen?” Li Yue suddenly felt that Gamma was being a bit redundant.

Everyone has seen it, and you still write poetry?

“…” Gamma was silent.

“I don’t blame you.” After a moment of silence, Gamma said, “You don’t understand bards, and you don’t understand epics.”

“The picture will not be passed down, only words and melodies can echo in the minds of human beings, and echo in our collective memory.”

“That is to say, no matter what people saw at the time, when this poem is passed down, what they remember is what we created.”

“Create courage, create hope… …or use poetry to enhance this fear and squeeze the human will to fight… …”

“This is the ability of a bard.”

“Oh… …that’s pretty amazing.” Li Yue realized that bards might be able to change history in some way, or people’s perceptions of certain events.

Especially in an era where information is not very developed.

“Envious? What path are you on? Do you want to become a bard?” Gamma gritted his teeth.

“I can be your teacher, the best teacher.”

“What level are you?” Li Yue’s question was very direct.

“…” Gamma fell into silence again.

“Don’t you know that it’s impolite to directly ask others about their level? Damn it, why don’t people here in Red Oil Town even have this basic common sense… …”

“You can write epics, what level do you think I should be?” Gamma asked back.

“Level 9? Level 8? Level 7?” Li Yue was like counting down.

“Shut up, listen to me honestly.” Gamma cleared his throat, the flute sounded, and he continued to sing.

“Brave warriors, legions, and holy soldiers stand side by side, opening the road to the Demon City in a torrent of steel… …”

This part was easy to understand, and Li Yue had no questions.

“Three spires point the way forward, even if it is a trap, they will move forward without hesitation… …”

“But finally, the demon reveals its fangs… …”

“When the Bone City turns around, we finally see the true face of the demon… …”

When Gamma sang to this point, Li Yue had already seen the Bone City first rise, and then slightly adjust its angle, as if something terrible was about to happen.

But Gamma's singing stopped abruptly, and Li Yue felt uncomfortable.

“What then?” Li Yue asked.

“That’s all for today, our story can’t be told all at once.” Gamma chuckled, until this bumpkin from Red Oil Town finally became interested in his work.

If he was interested, he would greatly reduce the willingness to split open the box.

Gamma was very proud.

Li Yue also understood Gamma's intention. The broadsword in his hand was shaking uncertainly—obviously, this bard was using his work to buy time, to avoid being opened.

Then the next question was, was Gamma's epic worth listening to until the end… …

Just as Li Yue was staring at the box thinking about this question, his vision suddenly changed a little.

Targeting the box, there were some more markings in his vision, marking its value.

Approximately 30,000 magic stones, and even various strange materials and corresponding quantities, or more directly—countless gold coins.

Li Yue could see the value of the box, that is, the value of Gamma's epic.

Li Yue rubbed his eyes, not sure if it was a hallucination or some kind of ability of his own.

Seeing the value? What is it for?

Robbing?

Or trading?

Could it be that his predecessor was a very violent businessman?

Li Yue began to daydream again.

“How is it, want to continue?” Gamma waited for a moment, and seeing that Li Yue had no reaction, he asked again, “I think… …maybe we can share a journey… …”

“I am still polishing the ending of the epic, but I can tell you in advance that there is a shocking conspiracy in it!” Gamma shouted.

Li Yue didn't think it had anything to do with him.

“In this melody, there is betrayal hidden, there is forgetting hidden… …”

“There is a very important demon… …who has been forgotten under the influence of the Great Altar.”

“This demon is very secretive, I can’t even remember its demonic name… …”

“The only thing I know is that it is precisely because this demon is too secretive that the power of forgetting will care for it… …”

“This requires casting a spell long in advance… …”

“Otherwise, no one can make everyone on the continent forget its existence… …”

“Forgetting only needs to cover those who know its true face, and it can be forgotten… …”

“That is an even more bizarre power, an even more bizarre ritual… …” Speaking of the ending of the epic, Gamma was eloquent.

But the way Li Yue heard it, it sounded like he was giving up, he was a little distracted, and even wanted to yawn.

“I can also tell you the origin of the sword in your hand… …” Noticing Li Yue’s reaction, Gamma decided to say something Li Yue cared about.

Li Yue quickly had a calculation—since this box is worth so much, then at least he could transport it to the next town and sell it to get some travel expenses or something.

Robbing all the time is not a good idea.

“What’s your epic called?” Li Yue sheathed his sword, boarded the carriage, and asked an obvious question.

“《Gamma Epic》.” The box reluctantly moved backwards, making room for Li Yue.

At the same time, inside the box, a person curled up and folded was writing a new chapter on his skin full of handwriting with a quill pen.
