Reincarnated as a Sheep – Path to Becoming the Strongest Demon Lord - Chapter 19 – Meeting Lloyd

After breaking out of my idle daydream, I went upstairs to the library to find some information after reassuring Emil that I was okay. He had a worried look but let me go as I pleased. Inside, I saw Lloyd. Like at breakfast my presence meant nothing to him. Whatever, this was better for me anyway.

As I browsed through the bookshelves scanning the ones with labelled spines, I found what looked like a geography textbook? Why am I even surprised that a family that owns a forest for a garden has textbooks?

The book itself was completely bland with a mahogany cover and was filled to the brim with minute text and the occasional picture.

Flick, flick, flick, flick.

Finally, something that says “Continent”.

…

I don’t understand any of this. Which country was I even in and where was the country of demons? I took a glance at Lloyd. He wouldn’t care if I asked him. I think.

I walked up to him cautiously.

“Si-“

“Master,”

“-Master Lloyd, could you help this one’s understanding of the world map in the book?”

Releasing an audible sigh,  he gave a nod and put his book down. His poker face refused to yield. At least he won’t  try something weird.

I laid out the book in front of him and he pointed to a medium sized country on the bottom right corner called “Kingdom of Yildaz”.

“We live here in Dazia, a decently safe place in comparison to our neighbours to the East.”

I assume he meant safe because of the distance away from the demon territories, but I wasn’t just content with that. I needed to know where the most ideal area to go would be.

“Master, why is it safe?”

Lloyd stared at me as if he knew the reason as to why I wished to know.

“It’s pretty far from the upstart demon lords in the east who start shameful conflicts to seize fresh land for themselves. While there aren’t many, most of the elder ones have lands completely disjointed from the East. If there could be anything as a ‘good demon’, they would be the ones who fit it the most. Any areas with lordship in the name are the ones usually governed by Demon Lords with the exception being the island continent ‘Strala’ or the demon continent which refers to itself as an empire”.

“I see,”

That was quite a bit to take in, I didn’t expect him to provide such a long description considering his aforementioned attitude.

His face went from emotionless to one garnering sympathy.

“You must have missed your parents, huh?”

I stood still, suppressing the urge to laugh at his misunderstanding, before nodding.
