CHAPTER 518: CHAPTER 273: FOR THE DEMON ENVOY, THE DEMON KING’S BODY CAN BE DEVELOPED TO THE UTMOST

"Shami, I’m studying magic, not tricks to amuse kids. If you want those, go to a circus."

The Magical Girl replied nonchalantly, lowering her head to read.

It seems the Magical Girl didn’t quite grasp what Shami meant by a mushroom cloud.

"I meant an explosion, a magic explosion that could produce a mushroom cloud," Shami explained.

Only then did the Magical Girl slowly lift her head, seemingly realizing something, looking at Shami in surprise.

"Are you talking about that end-of-the-world magic that directly creates a mushroom cloud over a city?"

"So there really is such a thing?"

Shami’s sense of crisis eased somewhat.

"Sorry, there isn’t."

The Magical Girl quickly replied, lowering her head again.

Shami sighed, having been excited for nothing.

"And even if there was, that’s an ultimate magic even Great Mages can’t touch. My specialty is Shield Magic, focusing in a completely different direction."

The Magical Girl clearly knew some inside information but kept quiet about it.

Shami didn’t press the issue.

Since there’s no mushroom cloud for equal destruction, if there’s a super strong defensive shield, that works too.

"By the way, how’s the task I assigned you going?"

Shami returned to the main topic.

The Magical Girl slowly sat upright on a pile of books, slightly lifting her small feet.

"Help me put on my shoes first."

"You can do that yourself, can’t you?"

The Magical Girl silently gazed at Shami.

Shami flashed a conceding smile, obediently kneeling down on one knee.

After all, the owner here is the Magical Girl; he is a guest needing help.

"First put on the black stockings over there, dummy."

As Shami reached for her small foot, the Magical Girl disdainfully shrugged him off, stamping her foot on Shami’s face.

Shami felt the aura of being bathed in knowledge.

Picking up the soft material stockings beside him, he gently slipped them onto the Magical Girl’s dainty toes.

The skin he touched was tender as snow, seemingly soft enough to break with a puff.

They were over-the-knee stockings.

Just reaching the middle of the Magical Girl’s thighs.

"You’re so clumsy, I’ll put on the boots myself."

The Magical Girl glared at the awkward Shami.

So clumsy, in the future, if she becomes... it will take a long time to train.

The food was packed into the lunchbox.

The Magical Girl led Shami to a long table, filled with various magic items and Crystal Stones.

The task Shami gave to the Magical Girl was: [Demon Realm Perception Shield Construction].

Currently, the Demon King Castle is enveloped by the Energy Shield Magic Stone previously given by the Magical Girl, which can create an energy shield around it to repel pests like mosquitoes and rats.

Meanwhile, through the Heart of the Demon King’s Castle, Shami can sense intruders entering the Demon King Castle.

Here, intruders mainly refer to the adventure teams.

The Demon Envoys and monsters have permission to enter and exit the Demon King Castle without actively reporting to the Demon King.

But the broad Demon Realm is different.

Due to its vast area, Shami’s perceptive abilities can’t cover the entire Demon Realm.

Even if adventure teams enter the Demon Realm, it still requires monsters to spot them to know their whereabouts.

As the core territory of demon tribes, how could adventure groups easily break in?

If the Magical Girl could create a Demon Realm Perception Shield, then Shami could know whenever humans enter the Demon Realm.

Shami’s inner drama:

The representative of foolishness questions: Why not make it an energy shield? That way, the adventure team will be detected as soon as they enter the Demon Realm and blocked outside.

The wise leader responds: Because that would immediately alert the adventurers that the area ahead isn’t simple; nobody would say there’s no treasure where there actually is one. Obviously, something significant must be protected by a barrier!

End of inner drama.

"It’s already done as you requested."

The Magical Girl brought out a black wooden box, and upon opening it, there were hundreds of Crystal Stones emitting a faint purple glow.

"The Demon Realm is too vast, it’s impossible to cover the entire realm with a single Magic Crystal at the center. Only by placing corresponding Magic Crystals at the borders and activating them all at once can we form a massive Perception Shield encompassing the entire Demon Realm."

As she spoke, the Magical Girl slowly took out a head-sized Magic Stone from the box, while the remaining Magic Crystals were only egg-sized.

"This is the main Perception Crystal for the Demon King Castle. The other 168 Magic Crystals should be evenly placed along the borders of the Demon Realm, then use the main crystal to activate the Perception Shield."

The Magical Girl also handed Shami a thin manual.

"This is the manual I wrote for you; if you still don’t understand, just follow the steps to install it. Remember, installation isn’t the end; regular maintenance and replacement of malfunctioning Perception Crystals are needed, or else the Perception Shield won’t function properly."

Looking through the manual, Shami was immensely grateful.

The instruction manual not only had detailed illustrations but also came in large font!

"I get it. Saili truly lives up to being a top Magic Researcher of the demon tribe."

It’s only been two days since Shami issued the task, yet the Magical Girl has efficiently completed it.

If all Demon Envoys were like the Magical Girl, why would Shami ever worry about the future of the demon tribe?

The Magical Girl glanced at Shami, extending her small hand.

"Did you forget something?"

Shami paused for three seconds, then immediately retrieved a precious task reward from the Demon King Ring.

"I originally planned to give you a [Demon King Bathing Companion Coupon], but considering this task is more important than usual tasks, and you will also need to regularly check on the Perception Shield, we’ve decided to upgrade your reward."
