I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Going to participate in "Closed War Training"—Li Yue first affirmed this premise.

Not knowing the advancement path of the Brain Spirit, Li Yue didn't want to search through the library's translation work like looking for a needle in a haystack, so he had to take a shortcut to the closed war training to give it a try.

It's equivalent to... this is a possibility to obtain the complete inheritance of the Brain Spirit. Even knowing that the danger is quite high, he still has to gamble on this one, otherwise he can only continue to survive in the library, and then absorb some knowledge to become stronger if he is lucky, or if he is unlucky, he may become a ghost under the sword of a high-level demon at an inconspicuous point in time.

After contacting Scourge, Li Yue became more convinced of this.

The goal has been determined, and the next step is the means.

Li Yue repeatedly assessed various possibilities in his mind, and a plan began to take shape in his heart; while the Mini Minis had not recovered from the excitement just now, they all knew that the closed war training was about to begin, and their eyes glanced at the Book Demon in the center of the hall from time to time, observing its every move.

Seemingly annoyed by the Mini Minis' gaze, the Book Demon "swished" and shook its pages, and several lines of words slowly appeared on it: "Although the number of books translated these days has not yet met the requirements, the closed war training is about to begin... I have made a decision that every day during Red Time, 15 pairs of Mini Minis will go to the Gate of Chaos to serve the commanders of the Demon Expeditionary Force..."

"The specific personnel... you can allocate them yourself, I only record the number..."

Just like the skeleton highlights stubbornness, the Book Demon highlights the word "lazy".

This is good news for Li Yue—the unfixed selection of Mini Minis gives Li Yue more room to maneuver...

"But no matter how you allocate, 27 pairs of Mini Minis must participate in the work during Green Time and Blue Time to ensure daily output..."

The Book Demon's management is also very arbitrary, completely disregarding the Mini Minis' fatigue.

"The 15 pairs of Mini Minis who serve in the war training every day... will be decided by... you... don't bother me..." The Book Demon's pages waved and pointed directly at the old Mini who had introduced the previous war training situation to Li Yue's Mini Minis.

"Okay—" The young Mini Minis clapped and applauded, but the old Mini's knees buckled, and he almost knelt down.

"I, I, I... I can't..." The old Mini subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was pushed by the old Mini beside him.

"If you decide, we can live again, you fool~" The old Mini's voice was extremely soft, but Li Yue "heard" it, "If we survive this time, maybe we can go home..."

"Okay, okay, I can..." The old Mini straightened his joystick, with a look of sudden relief on his face.

The Mini Minis who wished to hear the "official announcement" were so excited that most of them were looking forward to participating in the closed war training; the Brain Spirits and Slave Scholars were indifferent, lamenting that the Mini Minis were so energetic that they could still be so excited even after working overtime.

Li Yue suddenly felt... he had to find time to talk to this old Mini.

"Are we going?" The excited atmosphere of the Mini Minis infected the pair next to Li Yue, and they couldn't help but be eager to try.

"It's very dangerous, you shouldn't go." Li Yue remembered Scourge's blackened bone sword.

"What if the old Mini calls us...?" Mini asked Li Yue in a low voice, with a hint of making excuses.

"We have to make sure this doesn't happen." Li Yue telepathed to the Mini Minis.

"Huh?" The Mini Minis made a puzzled sound.

"Leave it to me, I'll talk to him later." Li Yue didn't think that communicating with the Mini Minis was a dangerous thing—especially since the Mini Minis' weakness was "scolding". If he couldn't reach an agreement with the old Mini, with Li Yue's keyboard skills from his previous life, he should be able to scold him into submission.

The translation work during Blue Time was spent in the excitement of the Mini Minis and the numbness of the Brain Spirits and Slave Scholars.

The moment the magic hourglass turned over and turned red, Li Yue couldn't wait to approach the old Mini, preparing to learn about the information of the closed war training from him personally, and by the way, remove the Mini Minis at the same table from the candidate list.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes—Li Yue had already thought of many arguments, but he didn't even move to the old Mini's side before being blocked by a page of the book.

"You, go serve Scourge tonight, you can order the Mini Minis around..." The Book Demon still remembered the Skeleton Prince in the middle layer of the library, and also remembered that Li Yue had satisfied his needs.

Demons asking people to work overtime... it's really justified...

Li Yue thought that Red Time was very long, and he didn't care about this moment, and he was blocked by the Book Demon, so he couldn't squeeze in now—knowing that the old Mini was in charge of allocating work, most of the Mini Minis rushed to the old Mini at the first time, chattering about their needs, and many volunteered.

[Malice + 72]

Li Yue waited a little longer, and only turned around when the malice popped up, and he had already figured out the posture of using the Book Demon to brush malice.

Before leaving flutteringly, Li Yue did not forget to telepath to the Mini Minis at the same table: "If the old Mini calls you, don't agree immediately, wait for me to come back."

Seeing the Mini Minis nodding obediently, Li Yue flew out with peace of mind and went straight to the Thirteenth Library—with the Book Demon's order, Li Yue felt that it was natural for him to appear next to Scourge, even if the Skeleton Prince didn't like Brain Spirits, he shouldn't stab himself to death as soon as he met him...

Stepping into the middle layer, Li Yue had not yet seen Scourge's figure, and once again heard the endless tune; unlike before, the tune was like weeping, with a little more lingering affection, and a hint of expectation.

Li Yue slowed down, and was finally discovered by Scourge when passing the Eleventh and Twelfth Libraries, and the lute sound stopped abruptly.

"Lord Scourge... Book Demon-sama asked me to come and see... Do you have any needs...?" Li Yue stated his intention, his tone humble and very dramatic.

"Hmph, only now...?" Scourge put down the lute and gripped the hilt of the bone sword.

[Malice + 444]

Li Yue was already able to judge from the amount of malice harvested that the Skeleton Prince did not really intend to attack, so he was not panicked at all: "You may not know... the work in the library is busy... we Brain Spirits are just acting on orders..."

"Then you go back and tell that rotten book that it doesn't have to work from tomorrow onwards, serve me until the Gate of Chaos opens." Like all demons, Scourge does not think that humble demons like Brain Spirits... really have any important mission.

"As you wish..." Li Yue blurted out a few ancient words that he had learned in "The Secrets of Solomon Island" this afternoon, and faced the Skeleton Prince with the posture of facing a god.

"Hmph..." Scourge really felt useful, and couldn't help but look at Li Yue a few more times, "The night has just begun, before tomorrow morning, I want you to collect some materials for me..."

Li Yue knew that Scourge would not easily let go of his servants, and only hoped that the Skeleton Prince's requirements would not be too complicated, and that the Mini Minis would be able to collect them.

"Bone sticks, ribs, thigh bones... all are fine, the more the better..."

[Bone grinding... to become more beautiful...]

Li Yue didn't expect Scourge to be so narcissistic.

"Of course, it would be best to have a dragon's thigh bone..." Scourge seemed to know that Li Yue might not be able to do it, and the last sentence was added in a much lighter voice.

"Okay, dragon's thigh bone... what about the bones of the Demon King, do you want them? What about the finger bones of the middle finger, do you want them?"

[Malice + 444]

Seeing the malice in his pocket, Li Yue changed the subject: "I understand... your humble servant... will definitely do his best to help you fulfill your wish..."

"Eh?" Scourge didn't expect this kind of turn either, and his thoughts were a little confused.

Li Yue seemed to have found the secret to communicating with skeletons—as long as the change of topic is fast enough, the skeleton's thinking can't keep up with me.

"By the way... your music... is so beautiful..." Li Yue praised again.

"You understand music?" Li Yue finally poked Scourge's spot.
