How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!

The next day, Floid got a visit from Andromeda. She came to give him the report of the crops that he told her to plant a month ago and how they were coming along. And Andromeda only had good news to tell him about the farms! Because of the fertilizer that he gave her the yield has increased by almost twenty times! The humans working on the farm were finding it easier to work on the soil and plant the crops so it was very fast! They should have good crops by the end of the first six months with the way things are going!

Floid nodded while looking through her reports. He was in his office and Pyra was standing to one side with her usual stoic look on her face. It was her turn today to cater to the master's needs and so she was the one here. Andromeda then told Floid about the extra materials they might need for the other project that he has them working on.

Floid gave the maids another project to build last month. It was something that he designed using the knowledge that the system gave him about boat building and architecture. When he gave it to Rizi, he could see how her eyes lit up in glee at the sight of it. She immediately asked him what they would be using it for, but Rosavellt hit her on the head in annoyance.

"Don't question the master and just do what he says,"

This is what Rosavellt said and Floid gave her a small glare. Rosavellt quickly straightened again and Floid looked back at Rizi. He appreciated all the Rosavellt was doing, but she needs to chill sometimes. He didn't have any intention of hiding the truth from them so he told them what he was doing with it.

The eastern side of this world has three kingdoms in it. The trade kingdom, Trad. The knight kingdom, Uta. And the magic kingdom, Aquinas. Floid knew that out of the three of them, Trad was the weakest. They didn't have any military presence and they relied completely on Aquinas ad Uta for protection. If Floid wanted to take over any kingdom first, it should be there, but Floid didn't want to touch Trad just yet. He still needs them to keep up the supplies for his army.

The supplies that Travy was bringing for him were being taken from the human kingdoms so if he destroys Trad then things will become harder. Instead, Floid will be going after Aquinas first! They are the smaller kingdom out of the remaining two and their strongest threat is their marine presence. They had magic ships that were designed by the genius magician 'Maryleen'. She was able to create flying boats that could also float on water and even dive underwater. Her ships were equipped with cannons and magic guns capable of tearing through steel with only one shot! It was a work of art!

Floid needed something to counter that army of ships and that was where he used his knowledge of boat building. Floid was able to take the blueprints for the ships that Maryleen made and improve on them! It took him an entire week of preparation to do it, but he could easily say that the ship he created surpassed every single thing that Maryleen's ship possessed! Everything about the new ship he designed would be better than the one designed by Maryleen. And the only person he trusted to make something like this was Rizi.

Over the past two months, Rizi has been working nonstop. She had a lot of dwarves that migrated to the town of Hampshire to help her and she was able to work faster, but that doesn't mean that it was easy! It was very difficult to make what Floid designed! Even with a hundred dwarves working together, it couldn't be finished quickly!

Floid went to see her the other day and he saw her sleeping on top of some blueprints while drooling on them. She had these huge dark circles under her eyes and it looked like she hadn't slept a wink in days so he decided not to bother her. He just put a coat over he body and left her to rest. But now Andromeda was bringing some news for him so he was glad. He asked her to tell him what it was and she happily continued.

"Rizi says that she has some ideas for the propulsion system, my lord. She will need some Mana crystals from the underground cave to test it out but it should improve efficiency by twenty percent at least,"

Floid rose a brow. Twenty percent? That's a bold claim. Floid already designed a system that could increase the efficiency of the ships by fifteen percent, but she is saying that she can improve it even more. Well, she is a dwarf and they are usually the best at this sort of thing. I think I'll just trust her for now.

"Tell Rizi to take whatever she needs from the giants below. They should have harvested about a hundred tons of crystals by now. Just give them all to her if she wants it,"

Andromeda bowed her head before slithering out of the room. Floid watched her go with a curious eye and he couldn't help but wonder how her anatomy looked on the inside? Does she have female parts down there just like regular women? Floid shrugged and took the last sip of the tea beside him. He would be finding out soon enough anyway. Why the need to rush?

Once Floid dropped the cup down, Pyra's eyes trailed down to it and she bit her inner lip as she thought about what to do! Should she take the cup!? Should she leave it!? She might break it if she isn't careful! No, she knows she will break it! Even if she is careful she still ends up messing things up! But she is a maid and she should take it!

Floid already told Pyra that she shouldn't worry about things like this but she still felt like she should try. Pyra nodded internally and she was about to move to take the tray away but Floid suddenly spoke up.

"What do you think of humans, Pyra?"

Pyra quickly stepped back to her spot before Floid could look up at her. Floid was surprised when he saw her blushing slightly. She was standing in a very tense manner and he wondered what the hell she had been doing. But that isn't important. Floid was curious about what goes on inside her head. Floid wanted to know what kind of person Pyra was. He was interested in talking with her, something he has never felt before.

Pyra thought for only a moment before answering.

"I think they have a lot of wasted potentials. The human race is a group of people that have created everything they will ever need. They produce more and more products that will make life easier for them, but that has also led to them becoming weak themselves...

"They have made their lives so safe and protected that they are now lost on how to act in any other situation. They lost the potential they would have possessed as a race."

Floid was shocked! That answer was much deeper than he expected! He didn't think Pyra thought this deeply about things!! She is usually quiet and reserved, but she really thinks things through, doesn't she!?

Floid also thought the same thing about humans. He knew that humans would be lost without the protection they surrounded themselves with. Both in this world and his former world, humans were never changing.

They depend and depend and depend. Even going as far as depending on other people to fight their battles. Why else would they call heroes from other worlds just so that they can fight for them? They are so protected that they have turned it into entitlement. They started thinking that they always deserve the protection they possess.

"And what do you think about demons?"

Floid was now more interested in Pyra than before and he asked her another question while dropping his pen. Pyra saw how he was paying great attention to her and she blushed a little because she was not used to talking so much. But she still answered.

"We are the embodiment of the concept of 'the end justifies the means'. A demon, no matter which one, will seek to reach a certain goal regardless of what is in its path. Humans are usually of the opposite belief. They only want to do things in the right way, even if it will lead to an unfavorable ending for them. They have taken it so far that they have tied their own hands with their laws and decrees...

"In my opinion, it does not matter what you do to achieve your goals, so long as whatever you are doing is what you truly want. Kill if you want to kill. Burn if you want to burn. ****, pillage, destroy if you want to. All of these things are your choice. In this way, it will be easier for you to accept any consequences that may come with it. You will have no one to blame but yourself. That is the only way to live,"

Floid actually felt his heart skip a beat. It was small, but there was definitely a moment when he felt like he couldn't breathe! What she just said was amazing! Why doesn't she talk more!? This woman is perfect! Even her mind thinks amazingly!!

When Pyra realized how much she had spoken she blushedQ She spoke too much!!
