After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King-Chapter 293 - 37 Hilena Overslept

"Hmm~ As expected, the beds in the Demon King Territory were more comfortable..."

Satan Ye said this as she stretched, then groggily opened her eyes... Unlike usual, Hilena didn’t immediately come up to help her, making her feel somewhat unaccustomed.

"Hilena..."

Calling out her name, Satan Ye looked at the bed beside her. Her voice immediately grew much quieter as she saw Hilena asleep contentedly on the bed. Satan Ye’s face instantly showed a smile, *trying hard to suppress her laughter.*

"Hehehe~"

*What to say? This was the first time Satan Ye had seen Hilena waking up later than her. Normally, whenever she woke up, the first thing Satan Ye saw was Hilena who had been waiting beside her.*

*It was indeed rare to see Hilena oversleeping.*

*...*

*Wait, today was the day for the morning assembly?!*

"Hilena! Hilena, Hilena!"

Seeing that the time was no longer early, Satan Ye hurriedly called out to Hilena. Hilena woke up almost instantly upon the second call. Realizing what was happening immediately, she said, "Sorry! My Lord Demon King! I overslept!"

"Today was supposed to be our first day back for the morning assembly... Everyone must have been waiting for a long time!"

Hilena spoke urgently as she put on her clothes and ordered the waiting succubus maids beside her, "This time, I’m counting on you."

The reason for saying "this time" was that although they were Satan Ye’s personal maids, they had hardly been needed before...

However, the succubus maids didn’t immediately help Satan Ye dress. Not just because Satan Ye was already dressing herself, but also for other reasons.

"Actually, Lord Yila had already been here..."

One of the succubus maids said respectfully as she reported the situation, "The morning assembly had already been handled by Lord Yila. He said you might be too tired, and let you rest a bit longer."

Truth be told, tiredness indeed contributed a bit... Otherwise, Hilena wouldn’t have slept for such a long time all at once. But strictly speaking, shouldn’t the most tired one be Yila?

After all, the two had only gone on a trip, whereas Yila had actually done many things, like fighting and trade. The only thing Hilena did... Was to acknowledge the Underground Demon King City.

Hm, what? You ask... Where the Underground Demon King City was?

*In fact, it was still in Hell.*

*...*

*Neither Yila, Hilena, nor Satan Ye realized that the Transmission Magic Array, though it was a Divine-made Array with extremely high speed, exchanged speed for the carrying capacity for such world-to-world travel.*

*In other words, the Underground Demon King City couldn’t be brought back to the Main Material Plane.*

*So for now, Hehe and her group were still living there. They had moved all their stuff before, and suddenly being told they could move back... Really felt like they were being fooled.*

*However, Hilena had unlocked most of the permissions for the Underground Demon King City, which would make Hehe’s group’s life much more modern now, since Hilena activated many advanced facilities.*

Like... Sensory candles (they light up when someone walks by), for example.

Therefore, if they wanted to bring the Underground Demon King City to the Main Material Plane, they would need a rather large Transmission Array, which was not feasible for the trio at the moment.

*So the matter was ultimately left unresolved... But the excursion to Hell wasn’t without gains.* frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Lord Yila reported that a guest from the Duchy was visiting the Demon King Territory... If you were awake, you could find him near the Blood Pond, and he would accompany you to meet the guest."

Hilena, now fully dressed in her usual appropriate attire, helped Satan Ye quickly change clothes and asked the succubus maid, "A guest? What kind of guest?"

If it were a lord from other territories, it wouldn’t need such careful attention. So... Was it the chieftain of a Beastman Country tribe? Or an important councilman from the Duchy? Or even a visitor from the Dwarf Country?

Couldn’t be an Imperial noble, right?

"Councilman of Duke Hazad, Elicanmu Novak, and Marilagreta Orphelus."

Hilena hadn’t heard of the latter’s name, but the former... That was Duke Novak, right? So this visit to the Demon King Territory was likely about trade negotiations?

*This question might only be confirmed after the meeting.*

"Slow down the blood flow... Control the speed of opening the sluice gate, that’s right, that’s right..."

Yila directed the goblins, moving blood from the original Blood Pond to the newly dug pool on the other side... The new pool was already lined with special stone bricks, covered in dense runes.

Next to it, many Demon Statues were lifting and installing some stone statues which were also part of the new Blood Pond...

Some Demon Statues brought back from the ruins also participated in the work, as always, led by Xiao Gang... Additionally, the new Mechanical Bodies included some "serpentine ball Mechanical Bodies."

What did this mean? It meant some of the Demon Statues could transform into a ball-like mech and combine into a giant serpentine Mechanical Body.

In other words, now Xiao Gang really got a "Giant Rock Snake."

The new Blood Pond was naturally the "Cat Car Blood Pool." From then on, the Demon King Territory could get perfect new transportation tools... As far as food was concerned, just a small fish dry every few days was needed, which was easier to maintain than little demons.

Although the amount of flesh and blood needed for the Cat Car Demon Worm to nurture or evolve into the Cat Car far exceeded that of ordinary little demon worms...

"Okay, once the blood line exceeds the last rune’s position, it’s good..."

Yila directed them, while many plump Demon Worms laid in the original Blood Pond, watching him with their small eyes... They curiously looked at the pipe connecting the two pools and pushed against it.

"Shoo shoo~"

Worrying they would clog the pipes, Yila drove them off. The Demon Worms looked at each other and realized they might be a bit hindering, so they obediently swam away with their short little legs.

"Ha... A group of giant silkworm babies, quite obedient."

Yila chuckled. He made fun as he watched the blood drawing work in the new Blood Pool nearing its end and nodded, instructing, "Alright! That’s it, next will be the long-term blood nurturing. Thanks for the hard work, everyone."

When the work was temporarily wrapped up, Xiao Gang promptly reminded Yila, saying, "Yila, Sir, the Demon King, and Hilena have arrived."

Yila turned his head to see Satan Ye and Hilena looking at the new Blood Pool. He nodded and greeted them, "Good morning, Hilena, and Satan Ye... How was your rest?"

Satan Ye: "Good morning~"

Hilena: "Overslept, sorry~"
