Esper Kingdom's Royal Capital.

Royal meeting room.

The Esper Royal Family is holding an emergency meeting, with attendees including city lords from major cities of the Esper Kingdom and leaders of various guilds.

Presiding over the meeting is Delarosa, the head figure of the Esper Royal Family and the reigning ruler of the Esper Kingdom.

"The news that Ueldo City has been captured by demons has spread across the country. The demons turned our nation's ignorant populace against us, occupied Ueldo City - truly reprehensible, despicable, and shameless."

Delarosa, dressed in a lavish ceremonial robe, spoke slowly with the aura of a ruler.

"According to recent combat reports, the demons sent a Demon Envoy to assist. Ueldo is also the first human city captured by demons. This news will make other countries think we are cowards, pushovers, weaklings."

The people in the meeting room remained silent, knowing that when their king's speech involved parallelism, it basically meant he was angry.

Delarosa slowly gazed around at everyone.

"It seems the new Demon King views our country as the first stepping stone in expanding demon territory, a platform, a..."

Delarosa suddenly paused while speaking.

The crowd didn't dare make a sound.

If the king pauses halfway through his speech, it's basically a death sentence for whoever tries to fill in.

The financial minister who last helped the king complete a parallel sentence structure has already been transferred to guard duty in prison.

After a moment, Delarosa turned to look at the man beside him.

"Mason, implement the Yellow Demon Slaying Order, deploy our country's special forces, recapture Ueldo City within a month, and show the demons the consequences of offending the Esper Royal Family; make them feel the pain of being forsaken."

"Understood."

A green-haired man slowly rose, bowed in obedience, and exited the meeting room.

Demon Realm.

Shami was reborn, and it was a nirvana-like rebirth, leaving his entire being with unprecedented comfort.

"So this is the correct way to use a Demon Envoy?"

Shami muttered to himself, releasing more magic power on the floor of the Demon King Castle, ensuring the little feet of the Demon Envoy girls would never get dirty whenever they touched it.

The flat-haired blonde left last night, escaping in a panicked flight through the Teleportation Gate.

The girl, in her first experience, was bewildered, blushing so intensely she seemed about to evaporate at any moment.

But no matter what, Shami acknowledged the flat-haired blonde's little feet that had the power to calm the Demon King.

[Lord Shami... today's edition of early brief cough cough...]

Feeling refreshed, with no distracting thoughts, Shami stepped out of the Demon King Castle, approached a Wisteria Tree Spirit, helped with watering, and listened to the tree spirit's early brief.

The Wisteria Tree Spirit, through the Tree Spirit communication network, broadcasted some events happening on the continent heard from other tree spirits, known as the tree spirit early brief.

[The Minotaur Tribe yesterday afternoon completed the construction of their first Pure Love Church in the tribe; though not large, it can accommodate 50 Minotaurs praying together.]

[A red Fishman spent the whole day yesterday dazing on the shore.]

[A rare snowstorm occurred in the Northern Lands.]

"Sounds like a bunch of trivial news, huh."

Shami muttered.

[Esper Kingdom's royal capital dispatched an elite team to Ueldo; the commander is the national defense general Mason, a level 50 Heavy Armor Warrior. Meanwhile, Esper Kingdom issued the Yellow Demon Slaying Order nationwide, with adventurer guilds in major cities receiving hundreds of adventure group applications to combat demons.]

"Such an important matter should be said first, though."

Shami frowned.

Esper Royal Family's retaliation, it has indeed come?

[Lord Shami... there's another matter you might need to know... recently all kingdoms have seen a surge of three to four thousand new adventure groups and exploration groups; many veteran adventure groups during their rest period have resumed activity, now these adventure groups are roaming the continent cough cough...]

"What's going on here?"

[Rumor has it they're all pursuing some Slime Great Treasure cough cough...]

"What?! Slime has no great treasure, basically everything scavenged I took away!"

Shami was confused.

[This rumor originated from a noble son of the Wus Kingdom's royal family, who was attending school at Saint Karno...]

[This person suddenly dropped out, formed an adventure group, and left Saint Karno City on the pretext of searching for the Slime Great Treasure... despite being human, he believes this nonsense completely... claiming the Slime Great Treasure indeed exists, somewhere on this continent... even using his royal status as assurance...]

[Now the Slime Great Treasure has become a popular quest among adventure groups on the continent... really amusing cough cough...]

The Wisteria Tree Spirit chuckled.

Shami's entire face turned dark.

Could it be Morris? This guy really took him seriously! He's got some self-reflection!

Shami hurriedly left the Demon Realm, heading to Eden City in Fess Kingdom to gather information.

Eden City is the most familiar city to Shami, also home to an adventurer guild outpost.

Shami entered Eden City, finding the area around the adventurer guild bustling, adventurers coming and going, with queues forming at the guild entrance for registering adventure groups.
