Even though Charlette has escaped, and that girl has already seen the current form of the Demon King and understood the terror of the Demon King now—she is very likely to mobilize all of humanity and even form another alliance to crusade against the Demon King, turning the world upside down to seek out the Demon King's whereabouts and once again slay the Demon King.
Yet the Demon King's demeanor is so calm. She said she was serious about concentrating her efforts on the vineyard in the coming time.
A vineyard in such a remote small town would in any case not attract attention, and for the Demon King's own ambitions, it's even more insignificant. This person has the desire to rule the world, yet is so interested in such a small vineyard, expending a great deal of effort.
This definitely isn't about concealing identity; if the Demon King wanted to hide her identity, there would be better choices.
Mohe did not explain anything to others.
"Rose, did you notice anything different when you went to the Royal Capital this time?"
Mohe manipulated a large spoon with magic, stirring the large cauldron in front of her while asking Rose some questions.
Rose thought for a moment, then answered, "The Royal Capital hasn't changed much. I originally thought they would at least hold a national memorial for the death of the Hero Frodonick, but unexpectedly the Wise King wasn't even willing to do that. They say the King stated, 'Even Frodonick himself likely wouldn't want us to be mired in grief. We should devote more energy to building our nation.' Worthy of being called the Wise King."
"Oh, a fine tactic. Saying it's the Hero's wish—your human kind loves using such tricks." Mohe didn't have any objections to that, "Then as the contemporary Hero yourself, what do you think?"
"It's genuinely laughable."
Mohe chuckled softly as well and handed over a bag to Rose.
"What's this?"
"Maid outfit. Made to fit your figure. There's also a set for Lisidorwei. You're my creations, I know your measurements. Now you're the maids in the manor."
Rose was stunned, "M-maid…"
"Do you have any complaints?" Mohe directly asked back, looking at the maid outfit in the bag. "Actually, I quite like maid outfits too. I wore them for several years while working a part-time job before. If it wasn't inappropriate for the manor's owner to wear it, I would too."
"Eh? But, Demon King you…"
"It's just a set of clothes. You can wear it if you find it aesthetically pleasing, no need to assign too much meaning to it."
It seemed Mohe was quite keen on such apparel—since the boss said so, Rose, as the worker and the created, had to willingly accept it.
"By the way, distract Doro a bit more often lately." Mohe suddenly mentioned, "The power of charm I bestowed on you wasn't meant for seducing someone like Bai Lushi, who is old trash. Your mission is to captivate Doro. Lisidorwei genuinely likes Doro, so she isn't worth expecting. Even if she really gets involved with Doro one day, that would be a product of 'love.' I don't want to see a pure love story. That's not degenerate enough, you understand my meaning?"
Rose blushed a little, "Demon King…I, I understand my mission, but you also know that I was just a… I don't know how to seduce a man…just using the power you've given, I fear, I fear Lord Doro won't go along with it…"
"Aren't men the ones who understand men best?" Mohe looked at Rose, confused, "The kind of woman you used to like the most, just portray that kind of woman—is it really that difficult?"
Rose's face turned even redder, "I used to like Charlette…"
"…?"
Great Demon King Mohe looked at Rose with a puzzled expression, "Are you trying to tell me you made a move on Hero A·Gedora for Charlette to acknowledge you?"
"…"
Mohe speechlessly held her forehead, "You humans, why do you all like Charlette one after another? Doro used to like Charlette too—was she the Charming Demon? Isn't that a bit ridiculous. You should know she was torn to pieces by Doro, but wait, now those two hands are still stored in my space. I plan to make them into alchemy items, let's call it God's Left and Right Hand, how about that? You like her, right? I'll give you one hand and Doro the other, how about it?"
How to comment on this?
How should I comment? The Demon King Mohe's distasteful sense of humor makes it hard to take in.
"Alright, hurry up and get changed, today we're meeting an agricultural expert. I want them to assess the condition of this land. I lack knowledge in this area, many things I don't quite understand. It's also a learning opportunity."
This Demon King candidly acknowledged her weakness, "In terms of farming, humans are quite adept, while the Demon Race tends to use magic and such to achieve increased crop yield, yet humans can rely on ordinary people who can only use Flame Technique to maintain logistical support across the entire front line. This is a talent and gift, something I haven't discovered in the past."
This Demon King was serious.
Rose then took the maid outfit and left.
The next morning, Mohe dressed in a black formal dress. Her figure was relatively petite, actually more suited for colors like pink or beige, which are somewhat light and floaty, clearly showing she was a pure and beautiful young girl. However, as the manor's owner, she needed to dress more "properly" and "staidly" to avoid being underestimated by others, hence she wore a more somber black dress.
This somewhat mismatched attire on Mohe didn't make her appear ludicrous; instead, it drew attention to her extraordinary presence.
"Miss Mohe, I believe the natural conditions here in Baixi Town aren't particularly good, especially with the constant drizzle—you know, quality crops need the comfort of sunlight, the solace given by gods is indeed human joy. If you set up a winery here, you'll likely need to implement complete waterproofing measures. Additionally, I suggest you focus on volume for success. Producing high-quality wine might not be very realistic."
Mohe nodded, and beside her, dressed in a maid outfit, Lisidorwei was busy taking notes, jotting down the expert's words.
"Sir, thank you very much for your advice. When our wines are produced, we'll make sure to send you some. I hope you'll accept them graciously."
"Of course, Miss Mohe, that would be my honor. If someone could produce quality or relatively inexpensive wines in Baixi Town, it would indeed be convenient for me, as wines constitute a significant expense."
