I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Originally, Li Yue wanted to use Budiboge's appearance to instruct the Book Demon to modify the list of followers for the Closed Battle Training.

If he could replace Mini and Mini, who were going to the Closed Battle Training, with Brain Spirits... firstly, he could reduce the deaths of Mini and Mini, and secondly, he could control Budiboge's recovery speed, killing two birds with one stone.

However, halfway there, Li Yue discovered a problem—the real Budiboge was not dead yet. If the Book Demon communicated with Budiboge, it would easily expose his lies and find Li Yue, who was disrupting the order of the Library.

It seems that he can only implement this plan after killing Budiboge...

Or... kill the Book Demon?

After experiencing a battle in the Blood River, Li Yue's thoughts became more and more like a demon. He suddenly realized that in this Demon King City, where the strong preyed on the weak, there was actually no real order.

Or rather... power is the only order.

And Li Yue, who lacked power, had no way to reconstruct his own order for the time being.

So, when he arrived at the lower level, Li Yue put on the Bone of Self-Healing again, restored himself to the appearance of Scourge, and slowly walked into the Library Hall—how powerful the blessing of "Absorption" is depends on this Green Time and Red Time.

The Book Demon stood in the center of the hall, originally closing its pages to rest. Seeing the Skeleton Prince enter, it opened the book, seemingly about to release some words like "No Entry."

"Put away your little tricks, you guys aren't doing anything anyway." Li Yue waved his hand, not even drawing his bone sword—Li Yue became more and more mature in disguising himself as Scourge.

The Book Demon had no intention of conflicting with Scourge, closed the book and began to feign sleep, but from time to time threw a letter out of the hall. The recipient was "Budiboge", faithfully reporting Scourge's every move to the Lord of Brain Spirits.

【Malice + 223...】

As Li Yue took his seat, the malice from the Book Demon began to steadily emerge. Li Yue noticed Mini and Mini in the corner, who seemed to have something to say, and raised his hand to beckon, "You... come and serve me..."

Mini and Mini trotted over, and the family finally reunited at the table.

"Your Excellency, the Honorable Scourge, what are your orders..." Mini and Mini bowed comically, obviously Mini had told Mini the true identity of "Scourge."

"Budiboge was also... by you...?" The second half of Mini's sentence was so small that it could not be smaller. The sweet potato-like head deformed for a moment, as if it was about to explode.

"Soon." Li Yue answered Mini and Mini's last question first, and then pretended to say, "You, go and call your companions and move all these books in front of me..."

That's right, Li Yue was going to eat books.

The "Book Fortress" that Mini and Mini had carefully selected and stacked that night was still there, so Li Yue started from this pile; on the other end, Mini and Mini finally found something to do, and worked hard with their companions to move them. In a short while, they completely buried Li Yue.

Buried in a sea of books.

Fortunately, Li Yue reads books with his mind, and the requirements for light are not high. At this moment, he only cares about keeping himself from being crushed to death, while using "Absorption" for quantum reading.

Under the blessing of "Absorption", Li Yue's own rate of absorbing the magic power of the Supreme Magic Stone has greatly increased, and his corresponding perception and memory abilities are also enhanced, so he can completely flip through books quickly, while picking up some things he is more interested in for in-depth thinking.

After flipping through dozens of books, gradually, Li Yue could no longer perceive the outside world. His mind was filled with crooked and twisted words, outlining pictures composed of characters, and finally converging into a boundless ocean.

The moment this ocean appeared, Li Yue's mind roared, and he fainted with a bang.

In the dizziness, there was occasional splitting headache, which almost made Li Yue lose his mind; however, the ocean was still constantly forming and flowing, and Li Yue turned his attention to the ocean of words, and the pain was slightly reduced.

The ocean was formed by countless tributaries. Some meandered towards the deep mountains, taking Li Yue to imagine the customs and culture of the mountain tribes. Some stretched towards the Sea of Death, where countless legendary monsters bared their fangs in the deep sea, bumping Li Yue's mind.

Li Yue lingered the most in the core area of ​​the Chaos Continent composed of words—in this area, the geographical location of the Demon King City was not clear, but the outlines of the three major countries were very clear.

The three kingdoms and three cultures intertwined and collided with the Holy See as the core, devouring or splitting countless small countries, and then evolved into a rapidly rotating map; there were countless light spots on the map, and each light spot, in a specific time period, was an application of a certain kind of knowledge.

There was a gunshot outside the royal city, and black powder was filled into the iron pipe for the first time, becoming a gun; there was the cheers of a farmer on the bank of the Lund River, and a simple waterwheel was erected high, and the mechanist next to him laughed.

There are hundreds of young people holding wooden swords and shouting in the kingdom's training ground, attacking and defending; in the dim morgue, the doctor is dissecting, subdividing muscles, bones, and skin...

"A General History of the Chaos Continent", "Swordsmanship and Fighting", "Human Anatomy", "A Complete Collection of Practical Agricultural Tools", "Postpartum Care of Sows", "Guidelines for Holy Knight Practice", "Fatal Mechanisms", "Commercial Interests of the Beast Clan in the Black Forest", "15 Cooking Methods for Syntis Snails"...

With the help of "Absorption", Li Yue spent nearly a Green Time and a Blue Time, using the mixed and disordered knowledge as the foundation, and built a continent in his mind that only had a skeleton and was fragile; there were countless relatively blank and positioned areas, waiting for Li Yue to fill them with corresponding knowledge.

On this fragile continent, there was not a single area related to Brain Spirits or Advancement Studies. Even the areas related to Demon Creatures were relatively few. Most of them were human history—obviously related to the scope of books Li Yue read, and also the result of Li Yue and Mini and Mini's careful selection.

And in this map, the Demon King City has always been presented in a broken shape, sometimes leveling a certain city to the ground, sometimes colluding with the nobles, and sometimes only ruins remain in the pure holy light...

Those are the fleeting shadows in history.

The mixed and chaotic knowledge was still being "absorbed", but Li Yue did not feel tired at all, nor did he think that these knowledge were garbage—strictly speaking, "Swordsmanship and Fighting" may be the most useless book for Li Yue.

Li Yue even knows "Flying Sword". If he "wants" to, he can even easily kick the back of his head with his knee. What's the use of learning fighting skills?

Imagining that after a month of Closed Battle Training, Li Yue felt that all the contents from the first library to the twelfth library would become weapons to arm his mind, and he would finally be qualified to say "a little understanding"—of this continent called Chaos, of this place where he would wander for a long time.

When the "continent" in his mind finally took shape, and would not present a phantom or break with a certain thought of Li Yue, Li Yue finally opened his perception and found that Mini and Mini were constantly shaking his shoulders and slapping his face.

"Wake up! Don't die! Don't die..." Mini cried again.

"What's wrong?" Li Yue woke up faintly and pulled his lower body out of the sea of ​​books.

The Book Demon in the hall remained motionless, and a large number of Mini and Mini watched, with a ghostly look on their faces.

"You... I... some Mini and Mini accidentally... showed you a 'forbidden book'...." Mini's eyes were dull, "They didn't do it on purpose... um? You're awake?"

Li Yue was also surprised—when he first came to do translation work, he heard that some Brain Spirits would accidentally translate forbidden books and die with their brains exploding. He had indeed seen the scene of the Brain Spirit collapsing like a fart here, but he was fine?

Is it some kind of strengthening effect of the Supreme Magic Stone? Or can the blessing of "Absorption" allow him to read forbidden books at will?

"Which one?" Li Yue's mind moved, and two forbidden books were handed to him by Mini and Mini.
