Chapter 155: The Future Demon Lord Castle

"This central area will also serve as the gateway to enter and exit my Void Ark."

A portion of the Void Ark's space would overlap with the central area. Entering the central area was equivalent to entering the Void Ark.

It was precisely for this reason that Bai Luo placed his residence in this location. Should the town ever face danger, the monsters could quickly retreat into the central area. That space was isolated from the outside world. Even a force capable of destroying the world would be unable to locate the Void Ark.

This would ensure that the Monster Nation's losses were minimized to the greatest extent possible.

Yes, prepare the supplies and population. If danger strikes, Bai Luo would immediately lead everyone and flee!

"Justeaze."

Bai Luo called Justeaze's name. "Come and tell everyone about the Soul Guild."

"Yes, Lord Bai Luo."

Justeaze shed the noble purity of a saintess, instead adopting a rather maidenly manner like Irisviel, saying, "The Einzbern family castle is very large, you know. It's a work I'm quite proud of."

"Lord Bai Luo has already permitted us to set up an office on the castle's periphery. Then there are the administration offices, data storage, and living quarters."

Justeaze used her magical power to display the castle's structural diagram to everyone, then pointed out the functions of various areas.

"In the future, everyone can treat that place as our exclusive guild and come to issue commissions."

The artificial angel young ladies under Justeaze's command would become the monsters' receptionists, helping them solve their problems. Similarly, they would also be responsible for cleaning and managing the castle.

These individuals would be under Irisviel's charge. She would also become the vice-president of the guild, working alongside Justeaze, the president, to handle soul commissions.

Of course, the cleaning work wasn't laborious. Possessing magic, they could easily maintain the castle's cleanliness. Furthermore, Justeaze would also create some special artificial golems to serve as servants within the castle, assisting the artificial angels in their work.

"It feels... somewhat demanding," Shuna asked. "Do you need help?"

"Please trust in the artificial angel technology of our Einzbern family."

Justeaze narrowed her eyes, yet an imposing aura emanated from her.

'As expected!'

Shuna realized that Justeaze intended to monopolize the privilege of caring for Bai Luo.

'How could I let you succeed!'

Shuna immediately began to argue rationally. In terms of eloquence, Justeaze was ultimately no match for Shuna and could only choose to take a step back.

"In the future, Lord Bai Luo's residence will be moved inside the castle. That place will also serve as our administrative center for gatherings and meetings."

This was the opportunity Justeaze had traded the luxurious castle for—to be the first to benefit from proximity.

"Lord Bai Luo's daily life will still be handled by the Kijin Miko Princesses."

Shuna forcefully defended her sovereignty. She was already preparing to thoroughly train the Miko Princesses under her command, turning them into the front line against the white-haired angel.

"Zzzt!!"

The next moment, the gazes of the two women collided in mid-air, striking fierce sparks.

"She's getting anxious..."

The Snow Empress saw Justeaze's situation clearly: 'It seems Shuna and Shion's success last night has made certain people nervous.'

This actually included the Snow Empress herself. Upon learning that the two women had received Bai Luo's favor, the Snow Empress's heart was similarly uncalm.

"That's how it is."

Bai Luo interrupted the confrontation between the two women and added, "From now on, the Einzbern castle will become our Demon Lord Castle. Executives can choose rooms inside and decorate their residences."

Thus, the castle became Bai Luo's royal palace, the future center of power. Various issues passed up from below would first be reviewed by the artificial angels. Simple ones could be directly issued to high-ranking Majin. Only matters that the Majin couldn't resolve would be submitted to Bai Luo for his personal review, after which he would convene the executives for discussion.

"The above summarizes my initial plan for the town."

Bai Luo concluded the topic of homeland construction, then presented new information to everyone. "Not long ago, Benimaru and Hakurou brought me good news. After negotiation and communication, the Tengu clan is somewhat receptive to our invitation."

The receptiveness here didn't mean directly joining Bai Luo's command. Rather, they intended to form an alliance first, observe the situation, and then consider whether to submit.

"Just receptive?"

Artoria, having understood the strength on Bai Luo's side, fully comprehended the power of the Monster Nation. In her view, such a formidable Monster Nation already possessed the power to dominate the Great Jura Forest.

If the Tengu clan understood this point, they shouldn't be talking about an alliance. An alliance is a term used when both sides possess equal strength. The current Monster Nation was clearly far stronger than the Tengu clan.

If Elder Kaede were truly wise, she should have made her stance clear.

"It's just written in the letter."

Bai Luo smiled. "Elder Kaede has actually already agreed. She just couldn't state it explicitly, considering the Tengu's attitude."

Originally, given the Tengu clan's pride, they would never submit to anyone. But this visit to the divine mountain was led by Hakurou. The previous generation's elder—clan leader—of the Tengu clan and Hakurou were lovers who had even borne him a daughter.

"That Hakurou, he actually has a daughter?"

Hearing this news, Sekiou was greatly surprised. "And she's the daughter of the Tengu clan leader."

"Yes, Hakurou didn't expect he would have a daughter either."

Bai Luo naturally knew about this matter, but Hakurou hadn't been aware. When he first learned this news, Hakurou had also been astonished.

And with this connection between Hakurou and Kaede, many matters didn't actually need to be spelled out so clearly.

"Elder Kaede is willing to let the Tengu clan join us."

The joining here wasn't an alliance, but a submission, letting the entire Tengu clan pledge allegiance to Bai Luo.

"She holds significant influence within the clan. With her help, our process of subjugating the Tengu should proceed relatively smoothly."

After speaking, Bai Luo began to explain the reason for the 'alliance' matter. "However, Elder Kaede's influence is ultimately only partial; she cannot represent all the Tengu. I heard from Hakurou that a group of Tengu sought out the acting elder, Momiji, wanting to challenge Elder Kaede's authority."

Bai Luo: "This faction of Tengu seems extremely resistant to the idea of submission."
