I know Karl is ruthless sotis, but this surprised quite a bit. "Lizardn at, huh? You're even more evil than so of the demons here."
Apart from getting their at, we can also take their food supplies.
"To be honest, this is normal for ." The blonde-haired man continued. "Do you know of a big company that used to be in the city next door to Silkdale? By selling their products cheaper, they threaten the lives of the small cloth artisans in my city."
"Ah, I've heard about that. The company burned down and got raided until it went bankrupt. That's what you did, huh?"
He just smiled, and I continued walking.
"Lizardn are so despised because they used to enjoy hunting humans for their food. Well, they haven't done that much lately, though. That was their promise to the king of Durcia, so they wouldn't be exterminated."
"Why doesn't the kingdom just annihilate them all?"
"I don't know. So say it's because the religious leaders advised against it. After all, lizardn aren't demons. So assu that the kingdom is afraid of revenge from them." Karl explained again. "What do you think? Few want their existence. I'm sure there will hardly be protests from your followers."
Maybe Karl's last words were valid. Many people would be happy if the lizardn were wiped out from this land.
However, it could have had the opposite effect. That could trigger the humans' fear. They will wonder, are they the next ones to be eradicated?
I wanted to maintain the illusion that I was their savior, a great being who would lead them to glory.
"So what do you say, my lord?" Karl asked again. "Well, the biggest obstacle is that we must set up so big cage to trap them in before we slaughter them."
"We have to feed them to stay alive, right?" I stopped my steps again. "That's very impractical. So of my scientists have thods for preserving various types of food, including at. So, we can make them all into food in no ti."
The population of Lizardn City wasn't that many, after all. I estimate that it will only take a few days to complete this mission.
And the at we'll get will be plenty.
Karl clapped. "Great. We just have to think of a way to do that in bulk."
"For now, I'd like to save that thod until absolutely necessary. But that is an excellent suggestion, Karl."
He slightly spread his hands. "You're the one who makes the decision in the end, my lord. I'm just giving so of my views."
And there is one more problem. I'm not sure so people in my circle would agree, especially Jude, Lexi, and Velvet.
Not long after, Jude ca rushing over to .
"Damn you, Karl. You made too comfortable with the massage, and you left ." Jude snorted.
"But your soreness is gone, right?" Karl chuckled.
"Sure, but… Ah…." The forr religious leader then bowed to . "Good evening, Lord Vorn."
"You look younger than the last ti I saw you, Jude."
"Well, maybe it's because I finally discovered that there are many things I can enjoy in this world." Jude laughed. "And I think this will happen because of the alcohol too."
"I feel bad giving you the task of being a judge." I joked. "You will have less fun ti."
Jude laughed again. "But, the fun here is of much better quality! I'm sure I'll still be happy and satisfied!"
"Perhaps you also need to make yourself happier, my lord," Karl added.
I frowned. "What do you an?"
"I apologize for asking around so individuals here. I concluded that you were overworked and needed to refresh your mind. Yes, you were absent for a few days to heal lady Phisovia, but I don't think it was a pleasant experience. You beco tenser instead."
So, Karl had started doing his job before even eting , huh?
"But I still have a lot of work to do." I sighed. "I can't afford to be absent again."
Karl smiled again. "You don't have to be away too long. Just a day is enough. The key is that you get away from all of this."
"There's going to be a star festival in Marystar town soon, right?" Jude snapped his fingers. "You know, the festival that celebrates the fall of a star to that city."
"That shit festival?" Karl sneered. "Three days of feasting to commorate stupid folklore?"
"Yeah, that shit festival." Jude shrugged. "However, you can't deny how fun the celebration is. So things are unique at that festival. You can't find those anywhere, like star cakes, star wine, star knick-knacks, people who only wear stars on their nipples and genitals…. Well, I'm not selling it very well. But, I'll make sure you'll have fun, lord Vorn. Moreover, they said the celebration would be more lively because there's no cri district anymore."
"Yeah, even though the festival is weird, I'm sure you'll be able to refresh your mind by visiting it, your majesty."
I rubbed my chin, thinking about the suggestion. A little refreshing might eliminate my stress and allow to work even better after that.

A green-skinned Bwister took a long breath while hugging a not-too-large wooden barrel.
"I'm tired of doing this kind of work." He complained. "I want a different job, not monotonous. The lake project in the cave seems interesting."
"Stop complaining." His partner, with deep purple skin like an eggplant, responded. He also brought a similar barrel. "Our task of disposing of the magical waste from those various kinds of research is crucial."
"I know, but… Ah, forget it."
The two worker demons passed through a large rocky area far from the main base. They kept walking until they ca to a large pile of trash.
There were various kinds of objects in that, from tal plates, old rags, other broken things, and of course, the wooden barrels filled with magical waste.
"Co on, we still have a lot to bring here." The purple-skinned demon turned around to return to the base.
The green-skinned demon snorted and followed his partner.
Unbeknownst to them, sothing like glowing smoke was creeping from the gaps in the lids of the recently discarded barrels. The smoke moved slowly to one corner of the site before finally entering the eye holes of a human skull.
Excess magical energy like that makes the skull survive, even though he is basically dead.
