Carmel, do I have the right to use the treasury now?”
"Demon King…what do you want?”
Startled by Li Yalin's sudden question, Carmel did not react for a moment.
Treasury? Why did the Demon King want to touch the treasury? The treasury was not under his jurisdiction. If he wanted to use the treasury, he had to get Cessia's permission before the Demon King was crowned.
After all, the one who was truly in charge of Blood Alliance City was still Chesya. The only thing that Carmel was in charge of was the army.
"I've decided. I need to buy weapons for the armed forces. This is also to prepare for the future.”
Li Yalin was not prepared to share the Demon King Training System with Camel. Therefore, under such circumstances, he naturally could not directly say that he was going to another world to buy weapons and equipment. He could only speak with reservations.
"Buying weapons? Demon King, what weapon are you planning to buy? If it's an ordinary weapon, there are craftsmen in our Blood Alliance City. No matter what weapon Your Majesty wants, the craftsmen can make it.”
Carmel had no idea what weapon Li Yalin wanted to buy. In her understanding, the demon king probably wanted to give the soldiers stationed in the outer city a new batch of weapons because their weapons were too old.
Although this was indeed a huge expense, it was not to the extent of using the money from the national treasury. As long as the craftsmen in the Blood Alliance City worked overtime, they should be able to get all the soldiers with new weapons within a month.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, Carmel. What I need is not conventional weapons. I have my own arrangements for this. In addition, I need a group of qualified, real soldiers, not those mobs in the outer city.”
Li Yalin shook his head at Carmel, expressing that he was under a lot of pressure. It was not easy to become a qualified soldier within a month.
Weapons were indeed very important, but at the same time, the scattered soldiers in the outer city should also receive proper training. At the very least, they should be made to look like soldiers.
However, judging from her expression, she did not seem to understand Li Yalin's words. It was no wonder that Li Yalin did not explain anything clearly. How could he understand if he had never interacted with Carmel?
"All in all, I really need money now, or rare items. When I come back, you'll understand. What you need to do now is to help me get enough money and trust me.”
Li Yalin knew that he couldn't explain the problem in such a short time, so he could only use facts to speak. When he got what he wanted, Camille should understand everything.
"I…I understand!"
Looking straight into Li Yalin's eyes, Carmel only hesitated for a moment before agreeing decisively.
To be honest, she was not sure what Li Yalin wanted to do. However, she trusted him.
Without needing Li Yalin to say anything, just by looking at Li Yalin's eyes, Camel knew that Li Yalin was doing this wholeheartedly. If that was the case, what else could she do other than trust the Demon King?
"Thank you, Carmel."
Seeing that Camille had agreed, Li Yalin heaved a sigh of relief. This matter was finally settled.
As for money, although Li Yalin had a lot of Cores in his inventory, all of them were silver coins instead of gold coins. This made Li Yalin very angry.
There was a huge difference in the value of gold and silver, and Li Yalin was not prepared to take out these Cores right now.
As for the other weapons, equipment, and various items, Li Yalin couldn't possibly exchange them for money. Although Li Yalin didn't really mind, it would definitely waste a lot of time.
In that case, he might as well borrow some money from the national treasury first. After all, it would be his sooner or later.
Li Yalin had no idea how Carmel had managed to convince Cesya. However, that afternoon, Li Yalin had witnessed the legendary treasury of the True Demon Kingdom, the treasury of the Demon King.
"Carmel…are you telling me that this is all the money in the treasury?”
Looking at the dozen boxes of gold coins in front of him, Li Yalin's expression was a little stiff. He could hardly believe his eyes!
Alright, even if the Demon King's treasure room wasn't a dragon's cave and wouldn't be filled with gold coins, it shouldn't be so poor, right?
How many gold coins were in this chest? Ten thousand? These boxes were worth more than 100,000 gold coins? Was there only this much in the entire national treasury?
For an ordinary person, a hundred thousand gold coins was indeed an astronomical figure. However, for a country, it was a drop in the ocean.
What was this amount of gold coins enough for? Are you kidding me?
" Yes, Your Majesty Demon King. This is…all that's left of our treasury…"
Perhaps Li Yalin's expression was a little exaggerated, but Camille's face was also a little red. Just as Li Yalin said, the money was really too little, so little that it was pitiful.
"My stomach hurts…"
Li Yalin was completely speechless. He felt completely powerless. If he took the money, he could indeed buy a lot of weapons. However, the key question was, could he really take away such a small amount of gold?
If the national treasury was emptied in order to buy weapons, wouldn't that be taking care of one thing and losing the other?
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty Demon King. This is all my fault!”
Kneeling in front of Li Yalin with guilt, Carmel blamed herself for making the Demon King so disappointed. She was just like that, always taking all the responsibility on herself.
"What does this have to do with you? Forget it. If you don't have money, so be it. I don't believe it. I'll still bring back good things!"
Li Yalin could not bear to see Camille's self-reproach. After all, it was not Camille's fault. If she was a man, some things should be borne by herself!
Wasn't it just money? I'll show you how much I can earn every minute!
"By the way…what is that?"
Just as Li Yalin helped Carmel up, he suddenly saw a few huge wooden boxes piled up in the corner of the treasury room.
"Oh, those are magic crystal ores that have been used up. They are useless and have lost their original value, but it would be a pity to throw them away, so they are piled over there.”
"Is that the magical crystal ore?"
Li Yalin had heard about magic crystal ores from Carmel before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. According to Carmel, magic crystal ores were a rare ore that was native to the north of the continent. The ores contained a considerable amount of magic power, which could be used to strengthen magic power and set up magic arrays.
However, there was a limit to the magic power in the magic crystal ore. After using it up, it would become a waste product. Although it was not a one-time use item, it could still be considered a very precious consumable.
Li Yalin had only heard of his name but never met him. Although he used his mana, it was not a bad idea to take a look.
"F * ck!"
When Li Yalin opened the wooden box and saw the magic crystal ore inside, he exclaimed in shock.
"What happened to His Majesty the Devil King?"
"I think…I'm rich…"
