hell under construction

To build a house, rocks are used to lay the foundation, hard black bamboo is used as the backbone of the house, and the surrounding area is filled with rocks.

Rocks and black bamboo are products that can be seen everywhere in the abyss hell. They can quickly obtain materials, and the materials are hard enough to defend against the wind and sand that often appear at night. After drawing defensive magic patterns, even lava lizards cannot destroy them. .

Before preparing for construction, Damon first gathered all the demons and made a simple population statistic.

After Damon's baptism, the constant attacks of surrounding creatures, and occasional "knight training", the number of demons is decreasing day by day.

There are currently 670 demons living in hell plus Damon, and the population is about the same as a small village.

Among these demons, there are 53 working in the Demon Castle, but except for the adjutant Asmodai and a few other demons with slightly official positions, most of them are demon servants, responsible for the food and daily life of the Lord Demon King. Various other adults serve.

What they do is similar to the lowest level of slaves, but they can have the qualifications to live in the castle, so even if they are enslaved, these demons are willing, and it is better than living in fear outside.

The remaining more than 600 demons are civilian demons without any ability to protect themselves.

When building a house this time, Damon wanted to give all the demons a place to live.

Therefore, except for yourself, the houses built should be enough for these 670 demons to live in. Before the houses are built, these demons will temporarily live in the devil's castle.

It is impossible to build a building for nearly [-] demons to live in. Without that technology, building a house alone is a waste of time, so Daemon decided to design a house similar to a courtyard.

The house is designed as three rooms and one courtyard. The three houses are compactly constructed, surrounded by a bamboo fence to form a roughly courtyard, forming a square structure.Enter the courtyard directly from the guardrail, facing one room, and two rooms on the left and right. The indoor area is large, and the courtyard is enough for activities and storage.

As for other redundant structures, Dimon will not waste resources to build them first. After all, this is hell, and the urgent requirement now is to build a fortress that can shelter from wind and rain, not a five-star hotel.

With this kind of design, a compact yard can accommodate five to ten demons, and it saves time, effort and convenience in construction.

Under Dimon's arrangement.The demons were divided into two teams, one to chop black bamboos and the other to carry rocks.

Being able to build their own houses, these demons are very active. The demons who were injured yesterday were healed by the magic pattern, and after a night of cultivation, they basically recovered.

Especially Achilles, this strong and big man, his thigh injury is almost completely intact, and he was the first demon to fly to the rock mountain to carry rocks under Damon's order.Relying on his strong body, every time he carries the rock back and forth, it can equal the amount of three demons.

Jack, his sister and mother came to the black bamboo forest together with the black bamboo felling team.

Jack's mother asked about the wound on Jack's arm in a worried voice: "I saw that you had been teaching them how to draw magic patterns before, so I didn't ask you, Jack, is your arm okay?"

Jack smiled easily, stretched out his hand and waved his claws directly, and a black bamboo as thick as an elbow collapsed directly.

"Look, mother, my injury has completely healed, and I can cut black bamboo faster than before!"

Seeing this, Jack's mother also breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Niya, Jack's younger sister, and said, "Your father's soul has returned to the Demon God, and there will only be our family of three from now on, Jack, what will you do in the future?" Take good care of Miniya."

"I will take good care of my sister and my mother, I will support this family!" Jack touched Niya's head: "I don't think Lord Demon King is as scary as the rumors in the past, he treated me yesterday, taught me My magic pattern, I came into contact with him, and I think our Lord Demon King is a very good monarch."

"Jack!" Jack's mother stopped Jack from continuing, and said in a low voice: "If you talk about the Lord Demon King without permission, and if the servants of the devil hear it, we will die without a place to die!"

"The Lord Demon King won't do this." Jack comforted his mother: "Didn't Mother see what the Lord Demon King did in the castle yesterday? Don't you believe those horrible rumors more than what you saw with your own eyes?"

Jack's mother paused. She thought about the things that the Lord Demon King taught these lowly demons to learn magic patterns and planned to help them build houses.

"Perhaps... the Lord Demon King has really changed...?"

Jack smiled and nodded: "I believe in Lord Demon King."

Reaching out his hand, he quickly cut down a few black bamboos in front of him. Jack tied the black bamboos with branches and leaves twice, forming one big and two small ones.Picking up the biggest bundle: "Mom, let's transport the black bamboo back quickly! The earlier the black bamboo is transported, the sooner we can build our house!"

"okay!"

Jack's mother and sister hugged a bundle of black bamboo, and the three demons spread their wings and returned.

Arrange for the demons to collect materials, and Daemon plans to draw the defensive magic pattern.

There are three kinds of defensive magic patterns that Damon found last night.

One is the barrier magic pattern, which will give an early warning when it is attacked, and a barrier will appear on the magic pattern carrier, but the barrier has durability, and it will shatter if it receives too many attacks.

The other is the anti-injury magic pattern, which can reflect part of the attack when it is attacked from outside.

The last one is the high-level suppressing magic pattern, which is the kind drawn on the castle of the devil king. It is powerful and stable, and it cannot be broken unless there is an external attack that exceeds the power of the magic pattern.

The current level of Daemon can't completely draw the high-level magic patterns on the Demon King's Castle, so he can only settle for the second best and choose the latter two magic patterns. He practiced hard all night last night, and he has already drawn the first two Almost mastered.

Damon plans to draw the anti-injury magic pattern on the courtyard and the surrounding walls, which can protect the entire house, and the barrier magic pattern is drawn around the entire residential area.

When the Lava Lizard attacks, all demons can be alerted immediately to prepare them.

The anti-injury magic pattern on the house can protect them and at the same time inflict certain damage on the lava lizard. Coupled with the counterattack of the demons in the house, they will be able to safely survive the attack of the lava lizard.

After determining the scope of drawing the magic pattern and the structure of the house, Daemon erected a long rock outside the castle of the devil, and used his sharp claws to outline the design of the residential area and the structure of the house.

Asmodai moved to Damon's side, watched the Lord Demon King move his hand, and drew a wonderful pattern two or three times.

"Master Demon King, what is this?" Asmodai asked.

Dimon pointed to the design drawing he had drawn: "This is the design layout of the house. The house to be built should follow this format, which can minimize the waste of materials and speed up the construction."

"Is this the house we'll have in the future?"

Asmodai carefully looked at the design drawing that Damon had drawn, and gently stroked it with his fingers, with a yearning expression on his face.

Although he is the devil's adjutant, he has never had a residence of his own. In the devil's castle, like those devil's servants, he sleeps in the corner of the castle every night, and wakes up with a sore back the next day. , and sometimes even affect flight.

Asmodai has always hoped to have a small residence of his own, but the houses built outside are not protected by magic patterns. When they are attacked by lava lizards, those lava lizards will directly push down the rocks they live on. Demons have been suppressed by their own dwellings and become food in the mouths of lava lizards.

Therefore, it is better to sleep directly in the pile of ashes if you build your own house, at least that way you will not be suppressed and watch yourself being eaten by lava lizards.

"Master Demon King... Can we really live here?"

"Of course!" Damon nodded firmly.

Tears flowed from Asmodai's red eyes, and he stretched out the back of his hand to wipe away the tears: "Master Demon King, you, you are really kind..."

The weeping Asmodai made Damon take a step back in horror: it is not a good visual experience to see a red demon crying...

"Okay, okay, don't cry, the most urgent thing is to build the house first, and there is no time to cry after you live in it!"

Damon spread his wings and flew to the place where the demons stored building materials. Asmodai quickly wiped away his tears and followed behind.

With enough materials gathered to build the first house, Dimon began arranging construction.

"According to the house design drawing I drew, first lay the foundation, fill the foundation with flat stones, then use black bamboo to frame the walls of the house to support the roof, and finally use rock repairs to strengthen the walls."

Under Damon's command, the demons moved quickly.Some still went to carry materials, leaving a dozen or so demons to build houses.

A few demons carrying materials would always stay on that rock for a few moments when going back and forth, seeing their future house, they would work more vigorously.

The land of Abyss Hell is basically the soft ground formed by the accumulation of ashes for thousands of years. To build a house on this kind of land, the foundation must be laid well.

The soft ground is easy to dig. A few demons dug a pit about half a meter deep in half an hour, but this is not enough. If the weight of the house carried by the soft soil layer is too high, the ground will collapse and the house will last longer. reduce.

What Damon thought was to use flat stones to increase the bearing capacity of the foundation first, but after half of the stones were buried, the foundation on the side pressed by the stones dropped a lot, which meant that the ashes below were not enough to support the entire foundation. houses.

Even if it is barely built, it will collapse in a short time.

"Master Demon King, the ground here has dropped as high as a rock, and we can't continue to fill up rocks." Asmodai said to Damon worriedly.

Damon frowned and called to stop the demons who were filling the rocks: "Stop first, you follow the big team to move the building materials, and I will think about how to deal with the foundation problem."

The demons left according to the Lord Demon King's order, and Damon took Asmodeus back to the vicinity of the castle.

Damon rubbed his chin to observe the foundations around the castle. The foundation here is very stable, and the huge castle stands above it, motionless, which makes Damon very surprised.

"What is this?" Damon noticed some strange clay embedded in the cracks under the corner of the wall, stretched out his claws to dig out some debris on the edge, and observed carefully: "This is... mud mixed with lava soil and water? "
