"You can speak?!" Zach exclaimed after hearing Urluk speak for the first time.
[Since you named me, I evolved to a higher being. I can now freely converse with you, my liege,] Urluk responded calmly.
"I see. You should have let me know then."
[I had no idea I could speak either. I tried to speak just now, and I was able to. However, I believe the other demons you named haven't evolved to my level yet.]
"So they cannot speak?"
[Precisely,] Urluk nodded.
"So, how is the marking going again? How many players have been marked?" Zach asked curiously.
[Over sixty thousand players have been marked. But more remains. It will take a maximum of two more hours to complete your task, my liege.]
"Hmm…" Zach hummed in wonder and pondered for a few seconds before opening his menu and crafting two palm-sized boxes. He then filled the boxes with the essence pill and said, "Give one pill to one NPC."
