Chapter 550: Licheri's Core IV

The Incubus System Chapter 550. Licheri's Core IV

After passing through the lobby and down the corridor, we arrived at a huge room. This room was bigger than other rooms and had an elegant minimalist design. A desk in elegant style with all the equipment is on the side of the room. Behind it, was a huge bookshelf filled with books and vulgar decorations of small figures having sex. A sofa set and a set of tea in the middle of the room. Not far from there was a mini-bar with wine and alcohol.

An automatic partition was on the other side. That partition could close and open by itself just by clapping. A king-size bed was behind it with a set of a simple dining table. It was the place where Letos could play with his wives or whoever he wanted if he was bored at his office.

Although that place was far from the office's image, it was where Letos worked when he came to the city hall.

"I thought the core couldn't communicate?" I asked without further ado once we got inside, totally ignoring the unusual interior office. I used my Telekinesis so the door behind me closed by itself.

"It's not that I can't but I don't want to," he replied. Licheri jumped off my shoulder and sat comfortably on the table in front of the sofa. While I was sitting on the sofa.

"Then why did you choose to communicate with me?" I asked curiously.

"Because you're interesting," he replied with a sweet smile.

I cringed upon his answer. I knew what he meant was my rarity but his smile made it sound like something else.

And as I predicted, he could catch what I was thinking and looked at me in disgust.

"Not in sexual meaning!" he quickly retorted in panic.

'Oh, he can catch that even if I'm just playing with him,' I thought.

He pouted unhappily.

"Hey, don't troll around your elder!" he sulked.

I raised my hands and smiled wryly, indicating that I would not play with him anymore.

Upon my gesture, he cleared his throat and resumed his speech.

"So like I said, I am attracted to you since you are different from the previous demon lords. You are the youngest among all, yet you have the same power as them. Above average, I could say. Not to mention your blood. It's something I've never felt before. And your origin. I'm sure the other cores will do the same as me," he gave me a long explanation.

"So all of it just out of curiosity?" I clarified once again.

"More or less." He smirked annoyingly.

And I responded with a flat stare. I thought it was because of something else since the first one he mentioned was my young age.

Again he read my mind from my expression.

"What? Did you expect anything else?"

"Yes. I look forward to your help in leading this place." I realized that I was young and inexperienced. No... I was just a college student! Even though I had got enough information about this city, I couldn't shake off the pressure. This was a city. Even though I had Sea Devil Club and Diamond College in the human world, the club had Pearl and the college had Diamond. Even the club manager helped me a lot during Pearl's absence.

Different from this city. Letos was dead and most demons didn't believe me yet. Lord Damon had not been able to provide any clarification on my status. In addition, in the future, I would still have to face Letos' loyalists. What I had was knowledge. So I was sure a help from the core of the city itself would help me.

"Sorry I can't. I am the core. I am the land. The place. The territory. It was your job to build me up," he refused firmly.

"I see..." I replied with a gloomy tone.

Due to my tone, he spoke again.

"But I can help you with a thing or two. Like, let you know if something big is happening. You know, something akin to an alarm," he replied.

"Oh, that will help me a lot. Thanks," I appreciated him. Nefaris could sense what was happening in her territory even if she was away from there or even control it if she wanted to. So I was sure with Licheri's help, I could detect the rebellion easily.

He gave me a smug smile.

"Anyway, I know you have other questions. You should spit it out before I go back to sleep."

"I'm curious about you. With the core to be exact. I thought they were some kind of power from the dark dimension that manifested into something. Yet you have consciousness," I asked. Previously, I didn't want to say this since I thought this was an unimportant question compared to the others.

"I couldn't say this was consciousness. This is just a little personality that is created from the collection of information and all kinds of things that I get so far. I can feel everything in Licheri. So it is normal that I could generate my own body and personality. In modern terms of the human world, I am similar to AI." Another smug smile appeared on his face.

"But I am much smarter and stronger than that of course." Which was accompanied by a cute wink.

"With my power, I can also transform myself into any form. I chose this form since it's the simplest among all," he added. After that his smile faded, he narrowed his eyes and gave me a flat stare.

"And I think that answers your previous question about why I don't have a lewd form, you pervert."

"Don't blame me for it. You are Licheri. The lust city of the demon world. So of course I expect that," I retorted with a frown.

"Ha... right, whatever. I can't blame you either since this city is filled with lust demons. Anyway, I'll go to sleep. Good luck with your job, Ethan. Ciao~" His body glowed and turned into a pearl the size of a corn kernel.

After I took it and put it in my pocket, my eyes turned to the desk.

"Let's get started shall we?"
