Chapter 169 Family Education

Izaks' ears were sharp, and he heard Hao Ren's mutterings on the spot. He was quite curious: "What does that mean?"

Hao Ren chuckled dryly: "What you said is unlucky—the last guy who said that got stabbed in the back by his own son, his country was destroyed, and his family was ruined. It was tragic."

Izaks immediately realized that this guy who was always talking nonsense was starting to spout nonsense again, so he ignored him.

The little girl Elizabeth turned her head and looked at the adults around her, then sighed with a mature air: "Oh… the capable are burdened with more work. I was thinking that after Dad came back, I could finally go back to the days when I was full and not hungry, running around and having fun. How come Dad just quit?"

So Hao Ren didn't doubt at all whether this little girl could understand Izaks' meaning: from the moment he met her, he could see that this seemingly underage little guy was actually very clever. She could pretend to be a mad demon king to hold the fort alone—how could she be an ordinary type of naughty child?

Izaks entrusted the future of the Demon King's City to his trusted successor: in the two or three hundred years before Elizabeth came of age, the city would be led by his most trusted old butler, Gadamo, the most senior veteran in the Demon King's army, with Lanina assisting from the side, just waiting for the day when the little girl Elizabeth came of age and was crowned. Hao Ren couldn't help but size up Elizabeth as he thought of this: who would have thought that this little guy, less than 1.3 meters tall, was actually a crown prince, and a Demon King-level one!

Elizabeth noticed Hao Ren's gaze and immediately jumped up: "I'm very powerful! Don't look down on me because I'm small..."

Izaks pressed the little girl's head with his big hand: "You have a lot to learn. From today onwards, you must work hard according to the standards of a candidate Demon King. I've thought out a study plan for you in the future. Knowledge of culture, history, and magic are basic courses, and then add an hour of basic swordsmanship every day—your physique is weak, but as a demon, you must strengthen your exercise, at least have a healthy body to support you in using great magic. Lanina will give you military lessons, Gadamo will teach you internal affairs, your Uncle Gordon will teach you magic mechanics… Oh, right, I also need to have your Uncle Hammer prepare a set of textbooks for you. The engineering knowledge you usually learn in bits and pieces is too disorganized and must be strengthened. Oh, right, you also have to learn the culture and history of the Erem Elves. You're going to be a queen in the future, so you can’t neglect diplomatic matters…"

As Izaks spoke, he got into the zone and soon planned out a full day's study schedule for his daughter—not even considering that this study schedule would take thirty-two hours a day to complete. Elizabeth's face turned pale as she listened, and suddenly she burst into tears, squatting on the ground and digging a hole with her hands as she cried: "Don't stop me, don't stop me, let me dig a hole and bury myself…"

Hao Ren tried hard to pull the little girl up and gave Izaks a kick in the calf (he couldn't reach any higher): "Is this how you're supposed to be a father… oh, it seems like there are quite a few fathers like this… but is there anyone as exaggerated as you!"

When Elizabeth saw someone protecting her, she quickly climbed up the pole and burrowed behind Hao Ren, wiping her tears: "Uncle Ren is still the best…"

Hao Ren's eyes widened: "It's Uncle Hao!"

"Oh, and there's Uncle Hao."

Izaks still had a serious face: "I'm not doing this to train my successor. Being a Demon King isn't that easy. Back then, I…"

"Back then, you studied magic mechanics for a hundred years, Uncle Gordon told me. Uncle Hammer also said you were an idiot because you would put the fuse into the boiler heat valve," Elizabeth's little head poked out from under Hao Ren's arm. "Why does the Demon King need to learn this—that's what you said back then."

Izaks: "..."

Nan Gong Wuyue couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, alright, you have to take your time when educating children. Besides, Elizabeth will only be crowned at six hundred years old. Aren't two or three hundred years enough for her to learn?"

Izaks' old face couldn't hold on, and he was still stubbornly defending himself: "Do you have any experience in educating children?"

Nan Gong Wuyue casually pulled a Doudou from under Hao Ren's arm: "I can teach a fish to speak human language in two months. Do you want to try?"

Doudou flapped its tail hard and shouted at Izaks: "You try! You try!"—The little guy sometimes habitually repeated the last few words of what people said.

"Anyway, I don't want to take classes in the city," Elizabeth said, discovering that she was surrounded by a circle of people protecting her, and her confidence immediately increased. "Why don't I go live with Uncle Ren with Dad~ Dad, didn't you say you wanted to learn more new things? I think Uncle Ren's place is much newer than the Demon King's City!"

Hao Ren looked helpless: "It's Uncle Hao…"

"Oh, and there's Uncle Hao."

Izaks' face was a little hesitant, but to be honest, he had finally met his daughter, so how could he really be willing to leave the little girl here? Even if it didn't take much time to get from Earth to New Erem, the distance of more than eight hundred light-years was enough for him to miss her. Moreover, saying that he wanted Elizabeth to receive the education of a candidate Demon King was actually because he felt uneasy after suddenly laying down the heavy burden, and he eagerly wanted his child to be able to bear the people's hopes: in the end, he was a Demon King with too much sense of responsibility, and he couldn't retire peacefully even after stepping down.

You say, if all the Demon Kings in the world were like him, how many village elders who were responsible for giving tasks to the heroes would starve to death.

Vivian had long seen through Izaks' thoughts. She patted Elizabeth's head: "This child finally came with you after a lot of trouble, so let her go to Earth to relax for a while—and see the world. Besides, as for education, she can completely learn from you."

Izaks put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance: "As a crown prince…"

Hao Ren narrowed his eyes: "If you talk nonsense again, I really won't save a boat ticket for the little girl."

Izaks directly changed the second half of his sentence: "...it is very necessary to broaden her horizons…"

Everyone: "..."

The group stayed on New Erem for more than a day to arrange various matters and ensure the smooth progress of the Demon King's City's resettlement project. At the same time, Izaks also completed his after-death arrangements—this sounded a bit unlucky, but the old king even dared to say unlucky things like "You shall be crowned king," so what else was there to worry about.

Hao Ren led his group of friends on a good tour of the new cities of the Erem Elves. When they left here, the Erem Elves only had shantytowns and messy tools piled up on the plains and wilderness. Now, only a few months have passed, and they have built towns with an initial scale—at least gathering points and factory facilities with an initial scale. It has to be said that people who have come from hard times have the motivation. Lily also had a great time running around. Hao Ren's personal space was filled with at least half a ton of messy things, most of which Lily had picked up from various nooks and crannies…

Before leaving, Hao Ren found Hilda and left a set of special equipment for these Erem Elves.

It was a set of maintenance-free simple teleporters, just like the one in Hao Ren's basement.

"Leave this set of teleporters to you. There is also a set inside the Demon King's City. These things can teleport you directly to a place called Kuiper Station. If you encounter an emergency, I can go there to meet you. Also, if you apply in advance, you can also use the teleporter directly to my house, but it is best not to use the latter path casually. This belongs to official teleportation."

Hilda quickly ordered people to properly store the set of teleportation devices: "I understand. I will send people to build special facilities to house this important device. It will be placed in the royal area with the highest security level."

Hao Ren: "...It's not that serious. I put these things in the basement."

Hilda nodded: "I'm also talking about the basement."

Facts have proved that there is really no common topic between a queen of a clan and a landlord.

After arranging everything, the group boarded the Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace and embarked on the journey back to Earth.

Lanina stayed in the Demon King's City for the time being. As one of the few intellectual talents under Izaks, the succubus girl could not leave casually at this time. However, she would definitely travel frequently between Earth and New Erem in the future: she would also have to serve as a liaison between the old Demon King (Izaks) and the Demon King's City. After all, even after Izaks stepped down, there were still many trivial matters to be completed slowly.

Elizabeth boarded the spaceship happily. The little girl was full of expectations for the upcoming life on Earth.
