Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

If Reji were to grade the Wisdom Demon, he would definitely give a score of 99 out of 100.

The Wisdom Demon truly did not disappoint his expectations.

With just a few words, he had very well deduced his thoughts.

As for the remaining one point,

The only imperfection was...

"Very well said, Leo."

"But there's one thing where you are mistaken"

The Wisdom Demon immediately expressed his willingness to learn: "Please enlighten me, my king."

"I've said it, tonight, it's 'us' going to the human cities."

Us.

Reji emphasized this word.

Leo immediately understood.

However, the Wisdom Demon immediately attempted to object: "My king, that cannot be! How can you, as our leader, take such a risk..."

Leo hadn't finished speaking when Reji raised his hand, stopping the Wisdom Demon with his gesture.

"This matter needs no further discussion."

"As the Demon King, I will not only have my subordinates at the forefront. Moreover, as you've just said, Leo, arrogance was the greatest reason for our failure a thousand years ago. So this time, I will personally interact with humans"

"Not just me, I will also require you, all of you, every demon apostle, to interact with humans. Only by doing this can you better understand humans, understand our enemy"

Reji was candid, openly laying the groundwork for his subsequent plans.

Had it been in the past, Reji believed that if any Demon King dared to say such things, they would be looked down upon by the entire demon race, and would be ousted.

After all, interacting with humans was considered a disgrace for the demons, not worth their time, akin to why would one want to interact with insects? Perhaps only the Wicked Demon would be keen and fond of it.

But now, Reji was very clear.

The pride of the demon clan had been severely crushed in the disastrous defeat of the war between demons and humans a thousand years ago.

Completely shattered by him, who hailed as the "savior."

So, after making such a dangerous statement, Reji looked around below.

As expected.

No apostle objected, not even Eileen, who despised humans the most.

This somewhat proved that, in some sense, the demon race also recognized humans as a powerful opponent, admitting that they were not weaker than daemons.

Having successfully implemented the overall direction as planned,

The rest was down to the specifics.

Reji quickly changed the subject:

"However, considering we are still in the early stages, for tonight's first descent, I will only take three apostles with me."

'''''''''Three?'''''''''

The nine apostles in the meeting were all guessing who these three mentioned by Reji would be.

Such a crucial position, whom would the king choose among them?

Firstly, Reji pointed to the Wisdom Demon.

This was not surprising, and Leo himself was already prepared.

"At your command, my king." The Wisdom Demon's calm serpent eyes twinkled with determination.

The next one Reji pointed to was the Sorcery Demon, Dian.

This was also within the apostles' expectations.

The Sorcery Demon, behind his crow mask, gracefully bowed deeply to Reji: "It is my honor, my king."

It's not hard to see that those selected by Reji were similar in stature and appearance to humans, which is normal since they are going to infiltrate and gather intelligence.

Actually, after the first two apostles were chosen, everyone already knew who the third would be.

Eileen adjusted her clothes, ready to kneel to receive the command.

However.

Reji's finger did not point in the direction of the Succubus but towards another.

That was a demon apostle cloaked in a cape.

Shadow Demon, Sherman.

.

[Time left until the demon clan's descent: 4 hours, 18 minutes, 07 seconds]

-Demon King's Palace.

-Inner Palace.

In Reji's bedroom, Eileen was like a wife preparing her husband's travel pack for a long journey.

"My King, these clothes of human nobility have been washed and dried by the servant demon. They are a bit old and have faded a bit, but I have selected the ones that best fit your stature."

"My King, here is approximately ten gold coins worth of currency. Even if these currencies are no longer in circulation among humans after a thousand years, here are also some agate ornaments and precious metals.

These hard currencies can also be exchanged for a significant amount of money at human pawnshops."

"My King, the landing point of the void passage is uncontrollable, so I've also included this map of the continent. Although a thousand years have passed and I'm not sure if it will still be useful, it can at least help the king to identify the general direction."

"My King"

Reji was curious as he watched the Succubus display each item from human society, introducing their uses to him.

After all, the demon race has always looked down on humans.

Even more so after being sealed for a thousand years.

"Eileen, where did you get these?"

"My King, these aren't mine. They were sent by the Wisdom Demon's clan on Leo's orders not long ago. They must have been collected and preserved during the war a thousand years ago."

Eileen shook her head as she said this, as if in lament.

"It seems Leo had indeed been thinking along the same lines as your majesty for a long time, preparing to infiltrate human society, hence the deliberate collection of these items."

After storing the basic items, the Succubus woman became even more serious, carefully explaining to Reji:

"My King, this is the ghoul potion I got from Eris. Sprinkling it on any corpse can summon high-ranking ghouls to serve your majesty. Some physical tasks, menial tasks, can be left to them.

If your majesty finds himself in a crisis, the ghouls can explode, producing a large cloud of poison gas to buy time to retreat."

"And this crown ring I got it from Dian. You must always wear it. It can help my king to be immune to curses, confusion, poisoning, and many other negative spells and effects. I know your majesty is powerful, but humans are extremely cunning and specialize in underhanded tactics.

With this ring, I can be a bit more at ease."

"As for weapons, since I'm not sure which type my king prefers, I've taken the liberty of gathering the best weapons from our demon race that I could get from Pierre and Hektor. take a look my king, which one of these suits you?"

Eileen was truly thorough.

Like a secretary.

Although the role of the Succubus is to manage the Demon King's internal affairs, Reji felt moved seeing Eileen so concerned, having run around nearly every apostle to gather the best for him.

"Thank you, Eileen"

Reji sincerely thanked her.

The Succubus was initially pleased, feeling Reji's sincerity.

However, Eileen's head quickly drooped once more as she silently carried on getting Reji's travel pack ready.

Given the gloomy appearance of the Succubus, Reji was aware of the reason.

In the end, "Eileen, are you still upset about what happened at the meeting?"

Eileen did not look up.

Continuing to pack the items for Reji while answering,

"No, not at all"

But after a pause of about a second or two, She repeated in reply:

"I am most certainly not unhappy because my king didn't take me with him."
