I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Copper Spoon was freed from the responsibilities assigned by Rheidkোর্ট and resumed research on the skyship. The design phase was basically complete, but most of the raw materials in the warehouse had been supplied to the Bone Cart Cult, leaving little opportunity for experimentation.

The skyship was a project that Li Yue valued highly, so Yingying naturally prioritized informing him of the situation.

Copper Spoon believes that it is necessary to enter the experimental phase to discover new problems and make the design more perfect. Otherwise, if it remains confined to blueprints, it will forever be just an illusion.

This is the material he lacks." Saying that, Yingying handed over a light piece of paper, which was Copper Spoon's list.

Re-gripping Copper Spoon's list, Li Yue regained a sense of familiarity—it was like this, one list after another, that gradually transformed the Library into the headquarters of the City Defense Army.

Although it resulted in the Great Altar and Rheidkোর্ট's Bone Cart Cult, the skyship and the integration of the Lightning Pool and Bone Cannon would have to start all over again. However, this time it would be more secretive, with less interference.

It's simple, I'll whip it up in a moment, give it to you, and you can take it back." Li Yue quickly glanced at the list, which included many engine parts, mixtures of self-healing bone and iron-like substance of different densities, as well as massive amounts of binding thread and rice paper.

How does he plan to experiment?" Although Li Yue was very confident in Copper Spoon's creation abilities, he was also afraid that this Copper Clan dwarf with a head full of strange ideas would mess things up.

Yingying still needed to keep a close eye on things.

Remember our fake Library?" Yingying asked.

Of course." Li Yue remembered that it was a counterfeit made in advance, before the Seven Rivers and the Holy Path Army attacked.

It played a big role when the Holy Path Army charged in with clockwork boxes.

The first step is for Tom to calculate the size and weight of the Library and the Colosseum, and then I will make some changes to the fake Library, simulating it as a real Library.

Waiting for the raw materials to be in place, Copper Spoon and Harry will assemble them, and then put the Copper Clan dwarf's throne into the fake Library…" Yingying talked about some of the details of the skyship.

In Li Yue and Copper Spoon's initial vision, the Copper Clan dwarf's giant god soldier was the central shield of the skyship and an important core for maintaining the overall structure, and a substitute could not be found at the moment.

Having listened to Copper Spoon's design, Li Yue couldn't find any problems.

Experiment location?" Li Yue asked about the experiment location.

The Great Underground Cave of the Underground City."

During the Bone Hammer War, Gerard's Brave Squad also had a group of braves attacking from underground. Although they were wiped out, they also created a huge cave in the Underground City, thousands of meters high.

It was enough for the skyship to conduct its first test flight.

Um… the dark elves of the Underground City…" Li Yue didn't want to attract the wide attention of other demons before the skyship was fully formed.

And the dark elves love to socialize and have big mouths.

Don't worry, I'll make them all disappear." Nolemore certainly knew this problem and didn't think it was a problem.

Then that's settled? Waiting for the results of the first test flight?" Li Yue was very pleased with Copper Spoon's progress and looked forward to the moment the skyship took off.

But Copper Spoon isn't too optimistic. Do you want to communicate with him?" Yingying was the middleman, and seemed to have noticed some of Copper Spoon's inner concerns.

It's okay, it's best if it succeeds the first time. Even if it doesn't succeed, we can find the problems and solve them." Li Yue remembered that Copper Spoon would consider many things every time he made creations. This was a quality that a craftsman should have.

It was foreseeable that many problems would be encountered before the skyship was put into real use, but the first step was always to take off before talking about other things.

Failure is the mother of success…" Li Yue couldn't help but say a famous quote.

[Mom is failure?]" Ying'er stood far away, with a question mark appearing in her head.

Don't say that about your mom." Li Yue hurriedly stopped her.

The first problem isn't really a problem. Fortunately, I was provocative enough to arouse the hatred of the locusts along the way…" Li Yue shared his journey to the Sand Country with Yingying and Dandan, and also focused on showing them Wang Mu.

A swordsman appearing in the Chaos Continent was definitely a novelty.

This sword seems hard to break.

Should we let him participate in the Slaughter Cup too?"

Yingying and Dandan briefly discussed and quickly moved on to the next topic.

The Library is growing grass, what's going on?"

The second topic was obviously much more serious than the first—especially after seeing that patch of green grass in Split Gold Mountain, Li Yue was very wary of things like grass and trees.

From the current point of view, it's not grass." Nolemore shook her head, knowing what Li Yue was thinking.

Not Old Goat?" Li Yue saw the picture in Yingying's mind, which was seedlings of magical plants, seeping out from the floor of the Library and growing around the Lightning Pool.

You see, this isn't the Great Altar's grass, but rather more like the magical plants of the Forbidden Forest." Yingying and Dandan were also very familiar with the Forbidden Forest.

Not the Great Altar… then could it be the Forbidden Forest?" Li Yue proposed a possibility.

I'm gone, and the two of you are also on an expedition with the Bone Cart Cult, so is the Forest Keeper causing trouble?" Most demons were traceable. Li Yue felt that if the Great Altar had ideas about the Library, it shouldn't be so obvious.

It's possible." Yingying had no way to give an answer and could only discuss it with Li Yue, "The Forest Keeper has always wanted to bring the Lightning Pool and the Evil Horned Beast back to the Forbidden Forest to complete his… cycle?

Li Yue understood the Forest Keeper's "cycle" as ecological balance and felt that this did make sense.

But maybe it's not intentional." Yingying had a new insight, "After the death of the Magic Wolf King, the Forbidden Forest was submerged for a period of time, and the Forest Keeper was busy dealing with the Little Wolf, and was bitten many times…"

Also, after the news of the Hundred-Year Slaughter Cup began, the Little Wolf temporarily gave up harassing the Forbidden Forest, so…"

You mean, the authority of the Forbidden Forest is gradually returning to the Forest Keeper, so this Great Pillar now has a tendency to spread to the Library?" Combining Yingying's inner thoughts, Li Yue understood this information.

Yes." Yingying nodded, "So, should I go negotiate with the Forbidden Forest?

Can you?" Li Yue wasn't sure if Nolemore was good at negotiating.

Although the Forbidden Forest was an ally of the Library, times had changed, and no one knew what the Forest Keeper was thinking now.

Of course I can, I have my ways." Nolemore's thoughts were filled with broken trees, cracked earth, and magically plants cut off at the roots.

Then go talk, that's good, at least we can determine whether the Forest Keeper is causing trouble…" Li Yue felt that no matter the outcome of the negotiation, as long as he could determine that the phenomenon of grass growing near the Lightning Pool was the work of the Forbidden Forest, it would be better than Old Goat stabbing the Library in the back.

Even if the negotiation with the Forest Keeper was not smooth, at least the Library now had two quasi-Demon Kings who could force him to submit.

Finally, of course, there's the condition of the books in the Library… I didn't understand, what do you mean the number of books has increased?" Li Yue found it difficult to understand Yingying's nonsensical statement.

Currently, there is only one scholar in the Library. Did Tom publish a book?

I have some… I can't explain it clearly." Disordered words and pictures suddenly surged into Yingying's mind.
