After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Sunken Ship?!

"You see, this is the entire process. First, remove the meaningless parts from the giant bee. Separate the wings and the stinger, placing them aside, while reserving the bee’s tail for later use."

"Regarding the extraction part, first you..."

"..."

Vera appeared to be diligently explaining the manufacturing process of "Bee Flower Snow Moon" to the little demons, yet it was evident she did not truly grasp the concept of an assembly line.

She spoke in great detail, using her most adept method of force-feeding information, just as she once taught Isabella, elucidating every detail to these little demons.

This included the significance of performing certain steps at specific moments.

From this perspective, Vera, who loved explaining the "why," and Yila, who also loved explaining the "why," truly were birds of a feather in terms of education, though there were significant differences between them.

Isabella was supposed to understand, but the little demons did not necessarily require such comprehension.

"Mistress Witch Demon, you are so naggy..."

"Nagging granny, nagging granny."

"Old woman, hehe."

Seated rows upon rows below, the little demons whispered among themselves, cunningly laughing. In the next moment, Vera placed her hand on the head of the little demon who had called her an "old woman."

Lifted by the head, the little demon struggled to look up, only to see Vera’s cold, expressionless face.

"..."

Vera remained silent, her stare as deep as if she were looking at a dead person (a dead little demon).

"S... sorry, Mistress Witch Demon."

"..."

Vera squinted her eyes, ultimately refraining from sucking this little demon into a skeleton. Mainly because everyone was watching, she was reluctant to kill a little demon publicly. So she only threw this little demon forcefully away.

"Crack~crack~"

With the sound of bones breaking, the little demon flew out and lay motionless. The other little demons looked at it with comical eyes, thankful it wasn’t killed on the spot.

Such injuries might be fatal to humans, but to demons, they were recoverable with some rest... Not too light, but not overly severe either.

Mentioning age-related topics in front of Vera, even jokingly, really was a life-threatening matter.

Goblins and little demons were races that found it hard to empathize with the death of their companions. Perhaps it was because their population increased so quickly, or perhaps it was an ingrained genetic trait.

If they felt sorrow for fallen comrades, then when they were scattered tribes, upon encountering adventurer attacks, they would be mired in grief and fear, unable to ambush female knights from the back.

Thus, even if a few of them were beaten to death, killed for a wrong word, kicked to death out of spite, or murdered for insidious looks, they wouldn’t feel even the slightest sorrow... not at all.

"Next is the bee’s tail..."

Vera said, then reconsidered: "No, we shall cover the earlier steps today. Now everyone look... when I removed the stinger and wings earlier, I placed them in water. This step is crucial."

"If it is placed in..."

"Furthermore..."

As an expert in force-feeding education, her lesson content might not always be comprehensible, but with enough repetitions, certainly, they would remember... for humans, at least.

Vera still had not realized that she didn’t need each little demon to understand the entire process. She just needed to break down the process and teach each step individually to different little demons.

Little demons were not particularly intelligent creatures, so if you expected them to memorize the entire process, it would be more practical to figure out a way to make them evolve before teaching them.

"Sigh, you guys are so dumb,"

Vera remarked with a sigh, shaking her head helplessly, speaking to herself: *"If it were Yila, he’d probably teach you faster. My level is still not up to the mark."*

Almost as soon as Vera finished speaking, a little demon enthusiastically asked: "Switch to Yila? Can he come to teach us then?"

"..."

Vera: Staring~

Chattering little demon: ...

Other little demons: *Snicker.*

"Humph, you must have followed Yila to kill Gorgons,"

Vera said, glancing at the little demon, who exhaled in relief and nodded. She began to speak earnestly (*nonsensically*) again: *"You guys shouldn’t idolize Yila so much~"*

*"How should I put this, Yila is an incredibly nefarious lolicon. When you evolve, be sure to choose something like a Balrog Flame Demon or Hell Lord, and avoid those cuter, prettier options."*

Vera said, feigning a grievous look: *"If you become a Whip Queen... ah, Whip Queens are more mature; uh, if you become a Helde Ice Demon, you will definitely end up being pinned down and whatnot."*

"..."

Little demons: ???

However, both the male, muscular Balrog Flame Demon and the female, petite, and cute Helde Ice Demon lacked reproductive organs.

*"Oh, I know you don’t have that, but Yila wouldn’t mind. You don’t know him, he caused a complete uproar back in the empire..."*

Vera, carried away with her enthusiasm, forgot about explaining the perfume-making process and indulged in wildly fabricating stories about Yila... even though those events never happened.

"Vera!"

"..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Vera froze but quickly broke free from her stiffness and, in a calm tone, said: *"Giant bees, you can’t eat them, um... can’t smell them either, because they can’t speak."*

"..."

Yila, arms crossed, tapped his foot impatiently, listening to Vera’s rapid, nervous rambling. She desperately tried to find things to say, such as, *"Did you know? The full name of the giant bee is..."*

But, in the end, Yila could only shake his head helplessly...

"Whew... sigh, let’s take a break from teaching these little demons."

Yila suggested to Vera that she could stop the charade. He said: "The sea demons found a shipwreck while fishing. The leaders went to check it out. You should come too."

Yila’s words piqued Vera’s curiosity. She said: "Great, wait for me, I’ll head over right away... Little demons, we’ll continue tomorrow. Go do your own things now!"

Little demons: "..."

It seemed everyone silently concluded that *"Vera’s brain had issues."*

Years later——

Hilena: "In recent years, the number of Helde Ice Demon evolutions seems to surpass the total evolutions of other elemental demons. Does anyone have any clues?"
