Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 60
As soon as the words “Demon Summoning” came out of his mouth, Ansel immediately felt enlightened. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible!
If I can’t go back, others can just come to me! That’s right, since he won’t be able to go back for a while, he can just bring his subordinates here!
“This matter is feasible.”
He affirmed himself, and across the magic mirror, the prime minister and supervisor immediately began to praise him.
“Your Majesty is wise!”
“As expected of Your Majesty!”
Ansel was accustomed to it, and after careful consideration, he made up his mind. Coincidentally, there happens to be an organisation around him that conducts demon summoning. He can randomly grab a lucky child, such as Simon, to facilitate this matter. But if that doesn’t work, isn’t there still a Secret Council under Saros’ control?
By the way, I still have to tell Saros, but he may have already received the news on his end.
“Then let’s put it aside for now. I will try this method in the near future to see if I can bring at least one of you from the demon world.”
With his subordinates by his side, it will be much more convenient and flexible for Ansel to deal with other matters.
After making the decision, he was about to continue reviewing the official documents when he saw that the magic mirror communication hadn’t been hung up. He looked up again. Vassago had already retreated, and only his prime minister Andre remained in front of the magic mirror. The peacock feathers in the big demon’s hair fell on his shoulders, smiling slightly at him.
Over the years, Ansel has become quite familiar with every expression of his subordinates, and the current expression on his prime minister’s face clearly means that he has something to say.
“Andre, is there anything else?”
“Your Majesty, I feel really sorry for bothering you too much.” Andre said softly, still smiling slightly, “It’s something that hasn’t been written into the official documents. Your Majesty, would you like to hear it?”
Although the white-haired Demon King didn’t understand why Andre spoke so implicitly, Ansel still nodded and expressed his intention to listen.
His Majesty the Demon King is also good at listening.
Andre suddenly smiled and started talking about some small things in Suberbian City.
From how he always feel very lonely without His Majesty’s presence, to the fact that there is no His Majesty on the front page of the newspaper, to the demon in charge of the Poisonous Dim Sum Research Association coming to the Demon King’s Palace every three days to request His Majesty to attend the year-end meeting, to how the Finance Minister Bululu become increasingly depressed and weak….The prime minister narrated everything with a dexterous tongue that could easily deal with the demon lords. He didn’t talk about the national affairs, but the changes in personnel and the blooming of flowers in the Demon King’s palace.
But Ansel was not bored at all, and instead laughed during the prime minister’s narration.
“It turns out that so many things happened while I wasn’t around.”
He smiled, and at the same time, he understood the hidden cautious thoughts of the prime minister, but he didn’t find it annoying.
“We won’t stay in the human world for too long. Saros and I will return in half a year at most.”
Half a year is a long time for humans, but very short for demons. Andre’s eyes suddenly lit up. His Majesty has always kept his word, and he fully believed in His Majesty’s promise. Then, he coughed twice, realising that His Majesty might have caught a glimpse of his hidden thoughts.
—— He was just worried that His Majesty is having too much fun in the human world and doesn’t want to come back.
Actually, Andre thought too much, and it won’t be wrong to say that caring too much leads to chaos. How could Ansel not go back? The demon world is his kingdom!
“Your Majesty……”
It was rare for the great demon who calls for the wind and rain to feel a bit embarrassed, and Ansel’s unceremonious smile made this embarrassment escalate to ten points.
“What are you worrying about all day long?” Ansel pointed out, “How could I not go back? Even Half a year is enough to pile up a small hill of government affairs, and I will have to work overtime for the next year.”
“The human world is indeed very good. There are many interesting things here that are dazzling, but…”
The white-haired Demon King smiled.
“I hope these interesting things can take root and sprout in the demon world, bringing a more comfortable life to my people.”
When he said these words, his eyebrows relaxed and his expression was full of energy. Facing such an expression of His Majesty, Andre suddenly felt a ray of holy light shining on him. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly put his hand on his chest and bowed.
“Then, the whole Suberbian City is eagerly waiting for His Majesty’s return.”
Ansel laughed, then he thought of the topic just now, so he instructed Andre.
“Because there are many new technologies and new ideas in the human world, I plan to give you all the opportunity to come and observe in person… Of course, not all of you will come over. There are still local affairs that need to be dealt with.”
“If the demon summoning is successful, I will pull one of you first. You can discuss among yourselves who to send.”
After he finished speaking everything that needed to be said, Ansel hung up the communication and continued to review the official documents. He didn’t know that on the other end of the interrupted magic mirror communication, the Prime Minister waited for a few seconds after the screen completely disappeared before slowly straightening up.
Andre: “…”
Despite appearing calm and composed on the surface, the prime minister’s mind was actually filled with only two words—
Only one!
There is only one precious spot at His Majesty’s side!
Hahaha! Now only he knows this news! He can just say that he forgot to discuss with others and directly go by himself!
Hahaha! Hahahahaha!
Andre turned around happily, but then froze.
At the door, four heads lined up along the door frame to look at him quietly. Guxin, who had returned from the battlefield, was also among them.
Andre: “…”
Uh-huh! No! Why!
“…One.” Supervisor Vassago said quietly.
“One.” The head maid Fuya sighed.
“What’s wrong with one?” Bear-headed Guxin was still in a state of confusion.
“It’s mine! The quota belongs to Bululu!” The finance minister raised a tentacle with all his strength and said what everyone present felt in their hearts. This sound was like poking a hornet’s nest, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
The summoning hasn’t even started yet, Andre thought angrily. These eavesdropping dog colleagues! It was originally a divine opportunity!
Just as he was angrily cursing his dog colleagues in his heart, Bululu really transformed into a dog and fiercely bit Andre.
“Andre! You are such a scheming ghost! Bululu saw that you wanted to hide this news! You didn’t even want to give us a chance to compete!”
“Yes, that’s right! Come on! Let’s take Andre out and bury him in the garden!”
Andre: “…”
You bunch of dog colleagues!
Ansel was unaware that he had caused a workplace brawl, and that this brawl would happen again on the day of summoning. This is currently the most feasible method, so Ansel hung up communication with the demon world and called Saros.
The goose leader, who was originally chasing monsters in the memorial hall, suddenly split like a fork while running, and Ansel’s call was picked up in a second.
“… Ansel?”
His Majesty the Demon King stabilised his voice and tried to appear as calm as possible. In addition, he had to pay attention and act a little surprised. After all, except for the big goose, he and Ansel hadn’t seen each other for a while.
Big goose…
His Majesty the Demon King fell silent for a few seconds.
At some point, he had naturally started to use “goose” to refer to the totem of the Asmodeus family.
Ansel heard the somewhat surprised tone on the other end of the phone. It seemed like Saros was quite busy. Thinking that he had called recklessly, he made a quick decision. Then he briefly talked about the demon summoning and the small crack that had been opened, and within thirty seconds, he hung up the phone quickly.
Saros: “???”
He stared at his magic mirror phone, his pupils trembling.
Why! What happened! Has he and Ansel entered the 250-year itch? Ansel only talked about the main business on the phone and hung up within thirty seconds!
His Majesty the Demon King tightly grasped the magic mirror phone in his hand and caused it to make a “creaking” sound, barely suppressing the urge to call back. Just as he was trying to endure it, the magic mirror in his hand spoke.
“I’m going to break.” The Magic Mirror said calmly, “Your Majesty, your love affair makes my head hurt.”
“Let’s see if there are any cracks.”
“When can I have a brain-wrenching love affair with another Magic Mirror?”
“Forget it, it’s going to be broken anyway.”
“Forget it, the magic mirror has no mother and father.”
After grumbling like this for a while, Saros’ magic mirror closed its eyes and shut down.
Why shut down at such a time? He’s going to fight back!
His Majesty the Demon King looked at the “Auto Repair” displayed on the magic mirror and fell into a deep depression. He couldn’t help but think dejectedly.
This two hundred and fifty-year itch is so terrifying!
***
Ansel hung up the phone and then remembered that he forgot to ask about the Secret Council. Of course he doesn’t care about the hatred of the ants. He was just worried whether this will affect Saros’ plan. For example, accidentally reducing the personnel of the Secret Council…..
But Saros looks very busy.
Ansel stared at the magic mirror phone, and for some reason, he felt a bit unhappy.
Hmph!
Although they had known each other for two hundred and fifty years, he thought that the experience of relying on each other in the human world would make their relationship better. But now it seems that two hundred and fifty years is a hurdle.
Then he is also busy!
Later in the evening, the weapon master arrived at the memorial hall and saw Ansel, who quickly put away all the official documents within a second. The weapon master was surprised to find that all the demons in the memorial hall had been cleaned up. Ansel’s demon-hunting ability is really terrifying!
He adjusted the expression on his face and deliberately coughed twice.
“Ansel, Miss Sylvia wants to communicate with you.”
Ansel was a little surprised. He had no intention of taking any credit and directly asked the weapon master to communicate with the club’s senior management. So why was he still involved?
Seeing his expression, the weapon master suddenly became furious.
“Who do you think I am? Although this is indeed a great achievement, and even though being promoted to a second-class star is indeed my long-cherished wish for many years…”
Ansel: “…”
He could hear the weapon master’s strong reluctance to give up.
“But…” The weapon master frowned, “But I will never take credit for other people’s achievements!”
His tone gradually calmed down and became gentle.
“Ansel, you are the most promising newcomer I have ever seen. In the current situation, you are destined to shine.” He was still a little awkward when he said the words of praise. “You have a strong will and great potential. In the future, you are destined to have a place among the top stars of our club. With such a feat, you may have countless achievements in the future.”
Turning the tide in a dangerous situation during the demon hunting is undoubtedly the dream of every demon hunter, and everyone wants to have this honour. But the weapon master also knows what dignity is, what responsibility is, and what a person’s stance is.
All selfish desires are secondary. Defending humanity under the shadow of demons is the eternal proposition of a demon hunter.
Ansel tilted his head slightly. Most demon hunters are quite simple and pure, which is why he likes to stay in the club.
The weapon master blushed when he saw that Ansel was silent while he was chattering so much, and he handed over the communicator angrily.
“Call back quickly, don’t make Miss Sylvia wait too long.”
On the other end of the communication, the silver-haired girl has been waiting for a long time. Since the rescue forces entered the town, she has never slept a wink. Instead, she has been running around everywhere and finally obtained some assistance.
The communication rang, and she recalled the inquiry she had received from newcomer Ansel before, and calmed down.
“Sixth-level star Ansel, I will answer your question.”
She spoke softly.
“Fighting is allowed. If members of the Secret Council interfere with the normal demon hunting process, they can be eliminated based on your judgement. I will solely bear all the consequences.”
“In addition, the evacuation of the town residents will begin tomorrow at the latest. We have received assistance from the Holy Court.”
The Holy Court holds the authority and has always had close ties with the upper echelons of the government. Sylvia got assistance from the Holy Court, which could be considered a coincidence, because she mentioned that the Secret Council was in the town.
The Holy Court, which was originally indifferent and unwilling to meddle, suddenly agreed to send people to assist. Not only that, as if they had eaten a powder keg, they also want to investigate the whereabouts of the Secret Council members.
The relationship between the Holy Court and the Secret Council seems to have deteriorated again… but why?
Sylvia didn’t have much time to think about this matter. For her, it was already a blessing to get assistance.
The Holy Court is even willing to send sages to intervene!
In countless legends, sages are the comrades of the warrior, serving as magicians to support the warriors in their actions and embark on adventures together. Sages often possess high-end magic. For example, Anthony, the sage trained by the Holy Court, is said to have already broken through the realm of forbidden spells.
Sages… warriors…
This thought floated in Sylvia’s mind again, and before the communication hung up, she suddenly said softly.
“Ansel, actually you are…”
A warrior, right?
In a distant convenience store, Warrior Rhein wore a red and white clerk uniform and an angel wings hat. He skillfully scanned each item with a barcode scanner and bagged them. His face remained expressionless throughout the whole process.
“A total of twenty yuan and eighty cents… Do you want to pay in cash or electronically?”
The author has something to say:
Holy Sword Joey: With Ansel’s encouragement, I started hunting demons seriously.
Weapon Master: You are destined to have a place among the high-level stars in the club.
Sylvia: You must be a warrior!
Ansel:……
Um? ? ?
