Some things are destined to become bizarre tales in history.

Looking at the rows of posts on the forum, Luo Yan stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then nodded and said.

"It is quite difficult."

The embryonic development time of humans is too long.

Even if he could make captured Adventurers breed, he would still need to place orders ten months in advance, and buying directly from slave traders is too cost-ineffective.

Humans, Elves, and Dwarves usually have their souls stabilized at full moon, and to allow Players to possess them, it must be done before the soul is stable.

In contrast, Little Demons and Lizardmen develop much faster; they can be reborn directly in eggs, and most players don't feel any ethical guilt about it.

The most crucial aspect is that he also has to consider the feelings of his Vassals.

Egg-born Little Demons have weak kinship ties and care little about their eggs, which is why he could use Little Demon Eggs as a Vassal tax. But if it were Dark Night Elves, they would never accept offering their children as a sacrifice.

Luo Yan couldn't help but sink into contemplation.

"It would be good if Magic could create 'Artificial Humans'."

That way, not only the issue of reincarnating as a Vampire but also transforming into a Dark Night Elf or even a Demon could be resolved.

Youyou asked doubtfully.

"Artificial Humans?"

Luo Yan nodded and continued.

"Simply put, it's about creating something similar to 'clones' through Magic... Of course, I'm just saying, I have no idea how to actually do it."

He heard that there was similar technology before the First Epoch during the Ancient Era.

Some evil cannibal tribes used sacrificial rituals to create soulless bodies to substitute for intelligent living humans as offerings and food.

In the blood-drinking era at that time, this was actually a progressive act. Unfortunately, because it was not progressive enough, it was replaced by other more advanced cultural tribes, so the associated technology was not fully passed down.

Latter on, the technology was inherited by a few Alchemists obsessed with creating 'sentient Artificial Humans,' gradually straying into an evil path, eventually evolving into forbidden knowledge.

In regions ruled by Saint Sis, playing with souls is considered a taboo of taboos, whether dissecting, enslaving, or creating souls is the same.

This is also why Undead Mages are not tolerated by mainstream.

As for Hell, it is not regarded as a taboo.

After all, the earliest residents of Hell were servants of the Netherworld God, priding themselves as guides to the Nether River, whose job was to lead souls into the Nether River.

Although the Netherworld no longer exists today, the cultural heritage is still there.

Luo Yan thought.

If the technology related to Artificial Humans still exists, Hell is probably the most likely place to have retained this technology.

But he had no clue where it was preserved.

While Luo Yan was pondering, Youyou, floating beside, seemed to see his trouble and considerately reminded him.

"Lord Demon King, this can be easily solved, you can ask Miss Mia."

"Mia?" Luo Yan was slightly startled.

Enchanting Demon?

Never heard that Enchanting Demons are skilled in Alchemy.

Refining Technique, maybe.

Yet Youyou energetically nodded.

"Yes! Doesn't she have a library? You could just ask her to help look for a relevant book, since such knowledge isn't as sensitive as Chaos, she could make a copy for you, right?"

Right!

The Padric family's library!

Luo Yan slapped his forehead.

Damn these stereotypes, he almost forgot about it!

"That's a good idea, I'll inquire about it another day."

Indeed, Youyou is reliable.

Luo Yan browsed through the forum, did not see any more informative posts, and was ready to close the forum page to focus on meditation.

However, just at that moment, his peripheral vision caught a few lines of discussion under some post.

"By the way, those Ogres seem a bit off, did you guys notice?"

"Off?"

"Can you elaborate?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it, just that their eyes look odd..."

Ogres?

Eyes look odd?

Luo Yan felt vaguely uneasy, especially recalling the covetous looks from "Deceitful Fog" Novel when leaving the Mortal World.

But it couldn't be that he has already returned, right?

And given the intelligence of Ogres, probably Novel wouldn't care for them.

"...Youyou, keep a close watch on the situation in the fifth layer of the Maze."

Youyou answered energetically.

"Alrighty, Lord Demon King!"
