Chapter 1912 - 524: Country Demons Are Really Terrifying! (3)

The indecent appearance was enough to make any girl scream in fright, and even an Enchanting Demon would not fare much better.

After all, Enchanting Demons also care about appearances, and these skeleton soldiers looked truly terrifying—they weren't good-looking, nor were they good to eat, and even worse to smell.

"Sister... I'm scared..."

"Don't be afraid! Kaylee... I, I will protect you!"

Nana tightly clung to her sister's arm, tears welling up in her eyes. Although Kaylee comforted her sister, despair was already written on her tense face.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly parted, and a large Lizardman squeezed in.

It was an experienced player from the "Dragon Traveling the World" guild called [Dragon Roaming I Can Eat].

To earn the first wave of favorability from the new NPCs, he quickly took out his long-treasured dish from his backpack—

A leg of an Earth Cave Spider, roasted to crispy perfection on the outside and juicy on the inside, still sizzling with oil!

With a big grin, he revealed a mouth full of Sharp Teeth and tried his best to make a friendly expression as he offered the furry, thick leg to Nana.

"Hehe, miss, want to try this? Freshly roasted!"

However, his self-perceived friendly smile looked very much like Professor Horror Demon Enos' classroom to Nana.

All she saw was a scaly monster grinning viciously, reaching out a claw, holding a torn limb from some giant creature, with its tail greedily swaying behind.

By Bayele, this wasn't a scare tactic taught in Demon King Academy courses, was it?!

"Ah—!"

Nana let out a piercing scream, almost fainting on the spot.

But Mi Xi, who had returned from the front, had her eyes light up, grabbing the crispy and tender offering with a swift bite, taking off half of it.

Flapping her wings, she chewed happily while speaking in a muffled voice.

"See, they're all good demons... hiccup."

Looking at the Little Demon enjoying her meal, the sisters glanced around at the group of grinning mischief-makers, feeling a chill down their spines.

Good, good demons?

What part of demons who eat their colleagues' parts is good?!

The sisters exchanged a look, reaching a silent consensus in their hearts.

Demons from the countryside—

Truly terrifying!

...

It must be said that although the Demon City in Hell doesn't primarily promote "civilization," it's still the pinnacle of civilization in Hell.

At least, the demons there do not eat their employees.

Whether the employees are clever Earth Cave Spiders or not-so-smart ones.

No matter how shocking the demons from Demon City, Kaylee, and Nana felt, Thunder City, far from the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range, was also shrouded in the shock brought by the Prince of the Empire!

After being reviewed by Prince Roxey Colin of the Empire, the first volume of the "Encyclopedia" was finally officially published and distributed by the Thunder City Daily's publisher.

In this age of relatively barren spiritual and cultural development, not everyone had the opportunity to publish a book. Even though printing had been invented for hundreds of years, reading and writing were still considered "relatively luxurious" hobbies.

But for Prince Colin, who loves science, is that even an issue?

The first volume of the "Encyclopedia" was priced at just 1 silver pound, a price that anyone who could read could afford!

Moreover, Prince Colin dug into his own pocket to donate a cartload of encyclopedias to every school in Thunder City, especially donating to school libraries and students from less affluent families.

Whether it was a Church School, a private school, or a technical school approved for construction by a proposal from Mr. Horace, all got a share!

Although this was a significant expenditure, in the long term, this investment was definitely worth it.

After all, Prince Colin's name was printed in the co-author section!

It's worth mentioning, although the name Roxey Colin belonged to Luo Yan's father, a name is just a symbol, and the entire Northeast Shore of Vortex Sea knew who it referred to.

And when these people imbued with faith built such a consensus in their hearts, the name Roxey no longer belonged to "Roxey Colin" himself.

It would serve as an independent symbol, establishing stronger connections with the Divine on Luo Yan. And the Power of Faith gathered on this symbol would not be transferred to the distant Hell, let alone shared with the Demon God behind the "True Colin Family."

Although this explanation might be somewhat convoluted, using the phrase "whoever is weak is embarrassed" is very straightforward and understandable.

In short, for Luo Yan, he spent a small amount of money to gain influence not inferior to what the "New Testament" had when it first began spreading.

It's believed that, as the influence of the "Encyclopedia" continues to spread across the Northeast Coast of the Vortex Sea, the amount of faith power Luo Yan could draw from it would grow even more!

If not worried that things obtained freely wouldn't be cherished and would be pasted on walls, he'd even be willing to give away a copy to every Thunder City citizen.

After all, the money came from "borrowing" from the Thunder City citizens by hyping up the story of Prince Colin and Diamonds.

In this sense, it's a case of borrowing and repaying with return.

Thanks to Prince Colin's generous sponsorship and the free advertising from the Thunder City Daily, Professor Locke's "Encyclopedia" immediately became the bestselling book in Thunder City.

At first, Locke was somewhat apprehensive, worried that his work was too dull and that his public influence was too insignificant for anyone to buy it.
