Lucian hugged his knees and sat in front of the boiling cauldron.His long hair, which had faded to medium gray, was tied with a ribbon he randomly found and hung behind his head.

After dimming to this color, his hair color finally became less conspicuous among the demons.

The potion quickly condensed into the color of the starry sky in the crucible—deep black with hidden broken stars.Lucian bottled it up.He glanced back at Vader who was still sleeping on the bed, covered his upper half face with a half mask, and left the room.

The place he went to was the first floor of the hotel.It was afternoon at this time, and there were only a few demons sitting sparsely on the tables and chairs on the first floor.The hotel clerk was listlessly wiping his wine glasses, while the proprietor was counting silver coins one by one at the counter.He is a thin, elderly demon with fiery red hair.This kind of demons often have the ability to control flames, but they also have a hot temper.The owner's first pot of gold in opening this hotel came from his flame ability-he is the first demon in the entire city of greed to use his ability to heat hot water for the guests.

In addition, he also started some brokerage work.This is not uncommon. As a welcoming and sending place, the hotel has a lot of contacts, and will always use these resources to do some business for people.

When facing Lucian, the boss's fiery temper was gone.Although Lucian covered his face, there was always a magic in his voice when he spoke.

"I came here from another city-state." Lucian said softly, "I'm not familiar with this place, but I saw some people selling some things through you..."

"It's just some matchmaking work. Some people need to buy something, and some people need to sell something. Now it's our turn to play." The boss looked at the customer in front of him. In his opinion, the status of this customer is either rich or expensive , although he asked to be picky, he gave a lot of rewards, "I don't know if you plan to..."

"I'm a pharmacist." Lucian said, and handed the bottle in his arms to the boss.

After confirming the quality of the potion in the bottle, the boss showed a warm smile on his mean face.The potion given by Lucian is called soul condensing potion.This potion is very popular among the demons because of its ability to ease emotions and condense magic power, but it is very laborious to refine.Moreover, pharmacists who know how to brew potions are extremely rare among the demons, and most of the demons are more inclined to use spells or brute force.Medicines have always been in short supply in the demon market.

Lucian got half a gold coin from the boss, and told him that he might supply to him in the next period of time.A gold coin is a very fair and sincere price for this jar of potion.But Lucian looked at the gold coin with sadness in his eyes.

This gold coin is too little.

He originally wanted to leave, but he heard the voice of talking behind him.

"Human King City..."

"The emperor of the human race..."

"Twilight City..."

The people in Mucheng finally couldn't hold back anymore, and they brought the last little prince who was exiled here with them to launch a restoration.Lucian lost interest after only listening to a paragraph.Then he heard his name.

"I heard that the holy son of the human race is still alive, and the Holy See of the human race claims to have executed him, but in fact he has not. Some people saw that he is still alive..."

"After hearing the news, the city lord of the city of fury sent his subordinates to search for him in the territory of the human race, and wanted to kill him to vent his anger on the emperor of the human race. The city lord of the lazy city was also looking for him, and the lord of the city of jealousy..."

"If you can catch him, that's a huge bounty!"

"We bounty hunters come and go in the wind and rain, isn't it just for this little money?"

"I just don't know where to send it better."

"The price given by the City of Jealousy is [-] gold coins. The price given by the City of Rage is [-] gold coins, and the price given by the City of Laziness is relatively high, with a full [-] gold coins. The price given by the City of Gluttony is as long as you give a little clue. One hundred gold coins..."

"It's worth so much money." Lucian said with emotion.

Hearing Lucian's emotion, the innkeeper thought that the pharmacist was in desperate need of money.The more business Lucian can do with him, the more commission he will get.So he lowered his voice and said: "If you are short of money, I know a kind of potion. There is a lot of demand in the market and it is easy to make. A bottle can be sold for about seven to fifteen silver coins, but if you really want to do it , can the profit be huge?"

Lucian: "What potion?"

Boss: "A potion for aphrodisiac..."

Lucian: ………

The boss greeted Lucian eagerly, but Lucian finally dismissed him with the words "I'll think about it" while holding back the twitching corners of his mouth.

The conversation on the other side continued.

"Is the holy son of the human race actually a succubus? Hahaha, I have been able to play with the Holy See for so many years, I should really call him a hero!"

"It's the city of arrogance, the city of arrogance has been around for so many years, and it's still..."

"No way, as long as the curse is still there, no one can get in there." A thin demon in a gray robe said in the corner, his voice was very cold, and he seemed a bit out of place with other demons.

The tall and majestic demon who was a "hero" just now was sitting next to him drinking.They appear to be a pair of bounty hunters.

"But the treasure you can get from breaking that curse is really tempting..."

"Now the lord of the entire Demon Realm is very old. I don't know who will take his place. His only child is not up to the mark."

"What's the use of talking about it? It's better to think about the bounty of the Holy Son. That's [-] gold coins. After finishing this battle and getting this money, I'll go back to the jungle of my hometown..."

"I heard from those demon soldiers who retired from the battlefield that the holy son is a rare beauty. If I can catch him, I have to take a good look at his body before sending him to exchange money. Face……"

"It's really interesting to have so many city lords wanting him at the same time!"

The demons don't know about the entanglement between Lucian and Vader, they only know that he is still alive-the general saying is that he escaped by feigning death and is now at large.Compared with the matter of the human race, they were more interested in talking about the reasons why the supreme city lords of the demon race wanted Lucian.

Lucian understood very well.

The city lord of Rage City is a martial idiot who only likes to fight, so he unilaterally feels sorry for Vader, the human "God of War" who has fought with him several times.In the original book, he is a good brother and subordinate loyal to Vader.He would issue a wanted warrant, and he also wanted to dedicate his head to Vader, so as to vent his anger on his valued friend.

There is a vacancy in the city of pride, and it is only ruled by an old deacon.The lord of the City of Lust is a female succubus who loves her face more than anything else, and has never met him so far.The lord of the city of greed is not beautiful but a miser.Although he was beaten by Lucian in an accident, it would be better to kill him if he was asked to spend money to arrest Lucian.And he was more interested in his own money than Lucian.Therefore, none of the city lords of these three city-states wanted him, and he was extremely safe in the city of greed.

The envious city lord was severely beaten by Lucian on the battlefield.The gluttonous city lord is one of the fish in Lucian's pond.As for the lazy city lord... Lucian really can't remember when he provoked him.

After listening to the gossip with relish, Lucian went back to the room again and promised the boss that he would sell potions (of course not aphrodisiacs).The boss was a little disappointed after being rejected, and asked Lucian secretly, "Can you make hair growth potions?"

Lucian looked at the boss's shiny head, and it was hard not to feel that in this business, the boss was not a middleman who made the difference.

When returning to the room on the second floor, Lucian bumped into the two demon hunters, one thin and one tall, in the corridor.The face of the slightly thin demon hunter under the hood was pale and delicate.The hotel is huge and the price is reasonable.Many demons who have just come to this city-state will choose to settle here temporarily and live for ten days and a half months before finding a formal residence.

On the way, they discussed the issue of going to the mercenary market in the city to pick up jobs, maybe assassination, maybe to collect something.Looks like they live off of this.They came from other city-states and planned to settle down in the relatively developed economy of the greedy city-state.

But what surprised Lucian was that the two actually lived in the same room.After closing the door of the room where the two lived, Lucian couldn't help stopping his fingers on the handle of the door of his own room - if he read correctly, that room should be of the same type as the room he lived in , Room with only one big bed.

When Lucian entered the room, he saw Vader sitting up from the bed.His face was still pale, but his complexion improved a lot.Lucian blinked at him, closed the door and said, "How are you?"

Vader nodded slightly, his voice still a little hoarse: "Okay."

Lucian looked at him suspiciously: "Really? Don't lie to me."

He casually put the half gold coin on the table and sat down beside the bed.He lowered his eyes, lifted Vader's pajamas with his hands, and touched his lower abdomen...

Vader took his hand.

"That's right, I remember there was a blood hole here before." Lucian touched his lower abdomen covered with refined muscles, and his soft palm brushed over the smooth skin, "There is no scar at all." What are you doing grabbing my hand?"

He raised his head, his burgundy eyes looked puzzled, and looked at Vader with a full smile.

"...Stop." Vader said hoarsely.

He got off the bed, changed into a suit of clothes, and told Lucian that he would go out to investigate in a while.Lucian then took off his shoes and sat on the bed, shaking his slender legs and said, "Then come back early at night, I'm hungry."

As he spoke, he lifted a strand of his hair to Vader: "You have been asleep for the past few days, and my hair is all gray."

Vader didn't answer.He glanced at those crucibles, and Lucian said to him: "I went down to sell the potion I prepared to the boss just now, and I heard some interesting things... Do you want to hear it?"

Vader raised an eyebrow.Lucian then said: "Many city lords of the Demon Race are taking money to arrest me. The city of envy is [-] gold coins, the city of rage is [-] gold coins, the city of laziness is [-] gold coins..."

"so what?"

"Do you want to try and sell me for a reward? That's a lot of money." Lucian winked at him and said, "Then remember to bring me back and sell it to the next city lord again. I'm very happy." Dear."

"...Are you kidding me?" Vader sneered.

Lucian: "Master Vader, I am now worth [-] gold coins."

Vader seemed not to have heard his words, and was still changing clothes on his own.He put on a black windbreaker, put his long legs into his boots, turned his back and said to Lucian, "Don't walk around until I come back."

"Did you listen to me?" Lucian asked dissatisfied.

He was a little unhappy.

Vader ignored him and put his hand on the doorknob.Lucian then said at this moment: "Speaking of which, bring me some herbs when you come back."

"What herb?" Vader asked him.

Lucian reported the names of seven or eight herbs in a row.Vader frowned, stopped his hands: "What are you going to use them for?"

He didn't seem to have heard of such a prescription.

"The hotel owner said that this kind of potion is very profitable to sell. Twenty bottles can be sold at a time, and each bottle can earn ten silver coins." Lucian pretended to be naive and said, "This kind of potion is used by the demons... "

"Pharmaceuticals for aphrodisiac..."

As soon as he finished this sentence, he heard the crisp "click" sound of the doorknob being twisted off.
