How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!
Chapter 10 Their Loyalty Is Undeniable

Floid ignored the terror he could see on Andromeda's face as he spoke.

"You are taking care of the soil?"

Floid said this as he moved towards the soil and bent to take some of it in his hand. He frowned. It was too rough. Rosavellt looked like they shot a gun into her chest when she saw the demon lord touch sand! How can she explain this to Alucard later! He left the demon lord in her care and she brought him to this dirty place! Alucard is never going to allow her live this down!

Meanwhile, Andromeda answered Floid nervously.

"Y-Yes. Master doesn't need to worry himself with this! I will take care of everything concerning the food supply!"

Floid didn't answer Andromeda as he continued to look down at the soil and Andromeda started to get nervous as Floid just kept staring at the soil. Did he not like how she was taking care of it!? Did I make a mistake!?

Floid was completely ignoring her nervous energy and he was trying to see what was wrong with the soil. Floid was the son of a business tycoon and as such, he also had a very high IQ. He was someone that would have been at the pinnacle of society if he didn't have such hatred for humans.

So naturally, he knew some things about agriculture as well. He has learned agriculture from his teachers at home and also what best to look out for when looking for a farm to invest in. As far as Floid was concerned, this soil that he was touching was bad. No. It wasn't bad. It was just, dying.

"The soil is suffering. Andromeda, what fertilizer do you use on the soil?"

Andromeda nervously shuffled as she answered. She didn't see any reason to be nervous about what she has been using, but the way Floid looked made her very nervous! She couldn't tell if he was disappointed in her or the soil!

"I-I've been using-"

"Speak clearly when talking to master!"

Before Andromeda could finish what she was even saying she stood ram rod straight as Rosavellt's voice cut her off! Rosavellt has a look of annoyance on her face as she stared at the lamia. Rosavellt has been trying to fix that shy demeanor that Andromeda had for years but this girl just refuses to have some confidence! How can you show this disgraceful side to our master!?

Floid sighed. He didn't need this shit right now!

"Let her talk! Don't interrupt her till she finishes what she wants to say,"

Floid said this to Rosavellt in annoyance and he made sure that Rosavellt knew he was angry. She quickly pulled back before he then looked back at Andromeda. The lamia swallowed before speaking again. This time she was far clearer. It was obvious that she was scared of Rosavellt!

"I use the bone ash that we have always mixed with animal compost. It has been made by the best producers so they will surely work well on the soil,"

Bone ash? Floid stood up as he took a look at the bag containing what they called fertilizer. Once he saw it he immediately knew what was wrong with the soil. This is calcium. Very concentrated calcium.

Calcium is usually seen as a good nutrient for plants and it was! But that doesn't mean it was good to use this much calcium! If you use too much calcium then the soil usually stops taking in any other nutrient and it will become Stony and flaky. So that's why it felt like the soil was suffering! It was being overfed with only one nutrient!

Floid told Andromeda to stop using the fertilizer immediately. Andromeda was a bit skeptical as she listened to the new chemicals that Floid listed out. He wanted her to get nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus? Why? I've never heard of that kind of fertilizer being used before!

But it was not Andromeda's place to question the king and so she just bowed to him and agreed to what he said! If he wanted her to do it then she will gladly carry out his orders! As Floid was thinking of how much fertilizer they will need for the entire land he then also realized that it will be hard for Andromeda and her golem to work alone. Floid asked for a paper and pencil and Rosavellt produced one immediately. Floid didn't even bother asking her where it came from! She was just really reliable!

Floid drew out something on the paper and the two maids looked at each other strangely when they saw it. It looked like a large bladed tool with wooden handles that can be attached to an animal. Floid handed Andromeda the paper and asked her if she could build it.

Andromeda had no idea what this 'plough' is but she nodded as she planned how she will take the work to Rizi, the shortest maid in the castle. Rizi is a dwarf that is good at mechanical and woodwork. If there is anyone that can produce this then it is her.

Floid didn't mind who built it, but he just told them that they should inform him once they had all the fertilizer they needed as well as the plough before he turned and started walking into the castle again.

Floid didn't like seeing anything that belonged to him waste away like that soil so he has to make this land fertile again. After making it fertile, then Floid can think of other investments that will be good for the land.

[Quest: Save the remnants of the demon army and take back the Hampshire village.]

[Reward: 20 different crop seeds. 3000 worker demons.]

[Bonus Quest: Save the succubus]

[Reward: Advanced sword Arts knowledge]

Floid saw the new notification in front of him as he was walking toward his room and he was more interested in the bonus Quest. The first quest is pretty straightforward and he can ask Alucard, his butler, where the Hampshire village is later. But the second quest got him thinking. There is no way that this succubus is the same one from the game, is it?

Inside the game, Rivalle, there was a succubus named Lilith. She was the right hand of the demon Queen that he fought and she was probably one of the most annoying people to fight against! Lilith used some mental skill to trick her victims into becoming her slaves before making them fight among themselves. The Lilith in the game was not physically strong, but Floid had to use a lot of Mana stones to develop enough mental resistance so that her power wouldn't work on him. Will Lilith in this world be the same? If she is then it might be best to get some sort of mental resistance ability first before I go to help her.

Click!

The sound of a door closing behind him alerted Floid to the fact that someone had entered his room with him. Floid has been walking ever since he was thinking and he just absentmindedly went into his room. He didn't think anyone would enter with him!

Floid looked back and saw Rosavellt with her hands on the hands of her maid outfit. She pulled them off her body and the entire dress fell to the floor to leave her in her red lingerie.

For the first time in his life, Floid was seeing a female body. It was just ironic that it was a demon instead of a human, but was Floid complaining!? No! Rosavellt was beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous! She looked like a model that fell straight out of a playboy magazine!
