Three days passed.
Inside Abel's basement.
"Hahaha! It's done! I finally did it!"
At this moment, Abel, with his messy hair, laughed excitedly in the basement.
On the experimental table in front of him, a disk was floating.
This was the Devil Reincarnation Disk that he had created, relying on his Ajuka's notes, his own intelligence, and a tiny bit of materials.
Now, he no longer had to worry about a lack of Evil pieces.
It was divided into five types, according to the existing chess pieces.
At the same time, the five corners of the disk were engraved with words: "Pawn," "Knight," "Rook," "Bishop," and "Queen."
Moreover, it would automatically assess the rank based on the quality of the reincarnated person and then bind the piece. Of course, those who disliked fighting could choose to become ordinary reincarnated devils.
Looking at the disk in front of him, Abel waved his hand and the disk floated into his palm.
Now, he just wanted to find someone to test it out immediately.
Thinking this, Abel put the disk away into his body and walked upstairs.
—
Kuoh Town, train station.
Two women stepped off the train. One of these women had blonde hair, clearly possessing the aura of a young lady. The other had long silver hair and a serious expression.
They were Erica and Liliana.
Liliana was brought by Erica from Voban, with Salvatore Doni's help, just yesterday.
Salvatore Doni and Voban had a "friendly" exchange for nearly an hour. In the end, Salvatore Doni threatened to visit the old man every day in the future, which finally convinced Voban to hand Liliana over.
Recalling yesterday's "friendly" exchange, Erica still felt a little scared. She had to admit, the battle was quite terrifying.
"Finally here." Erica stretched, then turned to Liliana. "Lily, now I'll take you to meet the Seventh King."
"Thank you, Erica."
"It's nothing. We're childhood friends, you know."
Hearing Erica's words, Liliana suddenly wanted to punch her, as their encounter was a fated entanglement.
Nevertheless, Liliana was still grateful to Erica for rescuing her from Voban.
Just like that, the two left the station.
As soon as they exited the station, someone called out her name.
"Erica!"
Erica looked towards the voice and smiled.
She saw Kanae standing beside a small car, calling out to her.
"Kanae."
Erica quickly walked to Kanae and gave her a warm hug.
Then, she introduced her to Liliana, "Lily, this is Kanae Kocho, the King's Knight. Kanae, this is the retainer I want to introduce to the King."
"Hello."
Under Erica's introduction, Kanae and Liliana greeted each other.
Kanae opened the car door and motioned for them to get in.
As the car started, Kanae began driving towards Abel's house.
In the car.
Erica asked curiously, "Kanae, why hasn't there been any news from the King these past few days?"
Abel hadn't been heard from for days, she missed him a bit.
Kanae looked through the rearview mirror and replied with some helplessness, "I haven't seen him for three days either. Grayfia said he's making something in the basement and asked us not to disturb him these past few days."
Erica asked, "Is that so? Then what is the King making?"
Kanae shook her head. "I don't know either."
Liliana suddenly spoke, "I hope this creation can further enhance the King's strength."
Erica teased, "Lily, you haven't even met the King yet, and you're already so dedicated."
Liliana's face flushed. "I just hope to serve the new King."
...
Soon, the car stopped in front of Abel's house.
"We're here, let's go."
The three got out of the car and, led by Kanae, walked into the house.
Inside the room, Abel was wolfing down food. Having just emerged from his creation state, he was starving. After all, he hadn't eaten for three days.
"Ha... I'm full."
Abel put down his bowl and rubbed his stomach.
At this moment, Kanae pushed open the door.
"Kanae, long time no see. Erica, you're back." Abel greeted them, then feigned a slight look of confusion as he looked at Liliana beside her. "Erica, who is this?"
"This is..."
Before Erica could finish speaking, Liliana clenched her right fist, placed it on her chest, then knelt on one knee on the ground and bowed to Abel.
"Great King, I am Liliana Kranjcar, a former member of the Bronze Black Cross, and I hereby express my respect to you."
"Mm."
Abel stood up and helped Liliana up. "Rise, Liliana, there's no need to bow to me here."
Liliana, helped up by Abel, looked at him with some surprise in her eyes.
The King in front of her was different from other Kings. She hadn't expected Abel, as a King, to personally help her up. He must be a benevolent and tolerant King.
"King, how do you like the retainer I chose for you?" Erica leaned over, hugging Abel's arm, and said.
"You've worked hard, Erica."
Erica proudly lifted her chin. "Of course, but does the King have any reward?"
Looking at Erica, who was asking for a reward, Abel smiled. "Then, what reward does My Lady desire?"
"Hmm..."
Erica thought for a moment, then said, feigning weakness, "King, I need magic replenishment."
Magic replenishment? What magic replenishment?
Liliana was looking at the two of them with an innocent expression.
"Is that so?"
Abel smiled, then cupped Erica's chin and kissed her.
Liliana quickly averted her gaze.
What the King does cannot be directly looked at.
But... she couldn't help it. Liliana glanced at the two out of the corner of her eye.
Is this a proper magic replenishment?
However... this is such great material for a romance novel!
At this moment, Liliana had already begun her brainstorming session.
Her romance novel was about to begin!
No!
Liliana quickly shook the thought of a romance novel out of her head. Then, she continued to watch in disbelief.
The relationship between the King and Erica had reached this point?
Could it be that Erica had already become the Queen?
Hiss...
Watching Erica's expression gradually become hazy and alluring, Liliana muttered "sly fox" in her heart.
But this did not prevent her from conceiving the novel's content in her mind.
