Chapter 461: The Demon King's Absence I
The Incubus System Chapter 459. The Demon King's Absence I
After they calmed down, I asked their permission to read some of their memories about my targeted cities.
From their memories, I discovered that most of the cities looked similar to human cities. The only different one was Licheri. I even experienced culture shock upon what I saw. Not to mention I would lead the city one day.
On the bright side, since I knew this from the start, I wouldn't act like a clueless demon in the middle of a 'cultured' city. And another thing I found was, that even though the lust demon kind required sex as their primary food, they sometimes ate normal demon food like the others. So I could still use this world's currency, Calas, to do and buy whatever I want. For sure, I only had a day there, so I should not waste it.
As for my partner, despite her state, I chose Ivy to accompany me. She was the most suitable of all since she was quite familiar with Licheri, so she could give me a lot of recommendations about the places. For her disguise, she would pretend to be the succubus who attacked me at the last conference.
I ended that night with another sex batch between me, Foxy, Luna, and Yuffy. I asked Ivy and Maria to return early due to their condition and unstable emotions.
As for me, although it was a nice mini orgy, we didn't do much foreplay and only concentrated on penetration. I could say it was something similar to what I usually do during the Shadow Ritual. In other words, we did it only to fill our DP. In addition, although the incident did not affect the three of them, it managed to spoil their mood.
The next morning, after I took a bath and breakfast, I went to Lord Damon's office to receive his instructions on what I had to do after his absence. He would stabilize the border today. His energy would drop drastically, maybe, to the point he needed a total rest. Since Lilieth had left for Licheri and started her investigation this morning. The capital and this place would be my responsibility.
I spent hours listening to his instructions. Even though he had done most of his work, I had to hear a lot of "what if" situations from him. Everything could have happened in his absence.
"Do you have any other questions?" he closed our long conversation. Well, it was not really a conversation since he was the one who talked more than I did. As usual, we sat across from each other in front of his desk.
"I think you've explained everything to me." It was almost noon and I had listened to his explanation for 4 hours straight. My head would explode if I listened to more of it. Moreover, I didn't have any questions in my head.
"Pfftt!" he held his laugh.
"That's just the outline. I left some 'notes' as your guide in case you need it," he continued. Using his Telekinesis, he swung his finger from the bookshelf towards the desk. At the same time, a thick book floated following his finger's movement and landed on the desk in front of me.
My face paled. A cringe appeared on my face.
"Uh... Okay." It was thicker as a vocabulary and it reminded me of Puriel's novel. Worse, even this book's cover was full of strange symbols that I had never seen before.
"You just need to listen to that book. Not read it," he explained.
His explanation made me frown.
"Listen to a book?" I made sure I didn't hear him wrong.
"Yes. Just use your Dark Energy," he added.
Confused, I stretched out my hand and did as he instructed.
'Dark Energy.'
An announcement appeared in front of me along with his voice in my head. It was similar to listening to an audiobook.
[Welcome to Tome of Darkness vol 2.]
[What do you want to know?]
I was stunned in amazement. This was really cool!
"Vol 2? Shouldn't I read Vol 1 first?" I made sure.
"You won't need it. Vol 1 belongs to my father and it is mostly filled with his regret for Gabrielle and Erebus. You know, something like romance tragedy stuff. You can skip it," he said in a nonchalant tone.
A smug smirk appeared on his lips.
"While mine is filled with a lot of strategies, tricks, how I clean up the other's schemes and how I slaughter my enemies."
'Did he just say his father's love story was unimportant?' I thought, holding my cringe.
"Anyway, if you want to know about Vol 1, you can check it there." He pointed to another vocabulary size of the book on his bookshelf.
That was enough to make me gasp. My face was getting paler.
"I think I'll stick with this one," I said quickly, patting the book in front of me twice. A nervous grin on my face.
Somehow this made me wonder, what would I write in my book. My sex experience? How I could survive the human world with a thin budget? Or my story about an innocent man who turned into an incubus?
"That's my son," he said proudly.
I only answered him with an awkward grin. I knew he took that as some kind of compliment since I was more interested in what he wrote than what my grandfather wrote. While the truth was I just didn't want to read another thick book.
"Since you have understood everything. I will take you to the border room," he continued.
"Border room?" I asked. He didn't mention this before.
"You'll understand when we get there." Without further ado, he used his Teleportation skill.
Darkness engulfed us and a second later we were in front of a huge stone black door. The crest of the demon kingdom was in the middle. Ancient spell engraving surrounded the sides and a great power emanated from within.
