At ten o'clock at night,

This is the agreed time to meet up.

Ye Qiong and others returned to the hotel and shared the information they had collected with each other.

First came Aidas. She took out a recruitment poster and placed it on the table, then said:

“All of them.”

"All of them?"

Ye Qiong was somewhat surprised by Edas's answer. These demons loved the city they lived in so much that they had already received recruitment posters, but they still hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem.

Even if they don't want to recruit soldiers, just looking at the current situation of the Kingdom of Elland, they would think of leaving a way out for themselves and running to a safer city, right?

Ye Qiong didn't know how many demons like this he had seen in the City of Progress.

In the face of disaster, it is human instinct to choose to escape, unless their love for the city or country overcomes this instinct, so they choose to stay here.

There are demons of this kind, but they are not many.

After all, the major cities in the demon world today are actually more like primitive tribes gathered by different demons. They gather together more with the mentality of living together. In the absence of external enemies, they can still live an honest life. But if there is an external enemy that needs to be fought together, then their internal forces will gradually begin to split.

Ye Qiong didn't know how many times he had seen this kind of thing.

That's why he was so surprised by the performance of the demons in Hewan City.

Adas was silent for a while, and then continued:

"Not only are they still here, but they have also donated part of their assets to allow the Duchess to forge weapons."

Hearing this, Kelly couldn't hold back any longer and started to complain:

"Are these still the high-level demons I know? No, that's not right. What kind of magic potion did Elena give them to make them so willing to prepare for war for her?"

Ye Qiong showed a thoughtful expression.

"In other words, the strange manifestations of "war" have already taken place in this city?"

The information brought by Adas was undoubtedly good news for them. What they feared most was not trouble, but the inability to collect information.

Then, Edas recounted what he had seen and heard, and ended the sharing.

Next it was Ye Qiong's turn. He placed the bottle of special gunpowder sent by Old Mok on the table, and then told Kelly and Aidas what had happened.

After listening to this, Kelly picked up the glass bottle, uncorked it and smelled the special gunpowder.

Then he turned around and looked at Ye Qiong and Edas, and asked:

"Do you feel anything strange?"

Ye Qiong nodded slightly, while Adas frowned and said to Kelly:

"Put the cork back on the bottle."

It seems that this special gunpowder has a great impact on her. In order to avoid hurting Edas, Kelly quickly put the cork on the bottle.

After completing this step, Kelly finally spoke out her conclusion:

"Obviously, the remains of the dragon slayer were added here, which is why the dragons instinctively feel disgusted. In fact, in my opinion as a master of magic, this is not the right choice.

Dragon-killing vine, holy silver powder, and magic-forbidden stone powder, these three things combined together are actually enough to refine a weapon that can hurt the dragon clan.

There is no need to add the remains of the dragon slayer.

It is true that the dragons do hate dragon slayers, but that doesn't mean they are fools. Just ask yourself, if such a gas spread all over the battlefield, would they really charge forward foolishly?

The dragons are arrogant and think they are invincible, but they are not stupid. After discovering this special gunpowder, they will definitely suspend their attack and choose to destroy these things before launching an offensive.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of these special gunpowders, the best way is to make them colorless and odorless, gather all the dragons together, and then detonate them on the battlefield."

In fact, Ye Qiong's idea is similar to Kelly's. In his opinion, adding the remains of the dragon slayer is actually a failure. Apart from making the dragon clan feel uneasy and alert, it doesn't have much other effect. After adding this thing, the special gunpowder only has the function of creating an atmosphere. The dragon clan is not stupid, how could they approach this thing when they know it is dangerous?

Ye Qiong suspected that there might be something hidden inside. He looked at Kelly and asked:

"Can you analyze what else might be hidden inside this thing?"

"sure."

The blue-grey city wall looked particularly heavy in the twilight, with its bricks covered with traces of rain and cracks from unknown years.

Ye Qiong and his companions arrived at Hewan City, the capital of the principality and where the Grand Duchess lived.

At this time, a breeze blew by, and a faint smell of gunpowder drifted into the humid air. It seemed that this principality adjacent to the Kingdom of Ireland was still affected by the war.

From afar, the soldiers guarding the city were dozing in the shadow of the doorway, their armor stained with mud and their spears leaning casually against the wall.

Kelly walked forward and woke the soldier up from his sleep. The soldier might have been a little grumpy because he just woke up and glared at Kelly with a little anger.

Then after discovering the identity of the other witch, he got so angry that he

The plot in the novel where they were harassed by the soldiers at the city gate did not happen to them. After all, these three people looked quite extraordinary just from their appearance.

Soon, the soldiers issued passes for the three of them.

Ye Qiong and others walked into the city gate.

The stone pavement inside the city gate was washed by the rain and shone brightly, reflecting the scattered lights of the shops on both sides. The shouts of vendors continued to come, and not far away there were a few ordinary demon children playing with stones.

As the dusk deepened, the sound of the bell from the high bell tower announced the time. The sound was dull and long. Ye Qiong looked up and saw the spire of the bell tower looming in the twilight, like an arrow pointing to the sky.

Kelly came over, pointed toward the northeast, and said to Ye Qiong:

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"That's where Elena lives. Shall we go there now?"

Ye Qiong looked in the direction Kelly pointed. It was a castle standing on a cliff, like a silver dream growing out of the rock. The castle was far away from the city center, giving people a feeling of being isolated from the world.

As the ruler of the principality, you live in such a remote place?

He thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and replied:

"No, let's investigate in the city first."

Judging from what they have seen so far, the Principality of Westeria has indeed been affected by the war, but not much.

The city before their eyes was still functioning well.

Just look at the lax performance of the soldiers at the city gate. You can tell at a glance that no foreign enemy has come here for a long time, so they can be so lazy.

Ye Qiong took a brief walk around the city and finally came to this conclusion:

"This is a peaceful city. If it weren't for the war-torn Kingdom of Elland next door, this would be a very suitable place for foreign travelers to rest."

Although Kelly knew it was not a good idea to say this, she still said this with a hint of regret:

"It doesn't look like the seedbed that breeds the seeds of disaster. Are we in the wrong place? We should go to the nearby Kingdom of Thranduil."

Ye Qiong shook his head and denied this statement:

"Let's wait and see. Let's find a hotel to stay in temporarily, and then split up to go out and explore at night."

The two women nodded at the same time, agreeing to the suggestion.

Soon, they found a nice hotel in the northwest district of River Bay City. After paying, they were taken to a room.

At this time, night had fallen in the city, and Ye Qiong and his companions felt that it was almost time to take action.

The three of them were divided into four groups. Ye Qiong was responsible for the northern part of the city, Aidas was responsible for the southern part of the city, and Kelly was divided into two groups, manipulating the mechanical puppets to explore the east and west parts.

The northern part of Riverbend is a slum area.

Although night had fallen, the demons living here did not rest. Under the night sky, many demons could be vaguely seen walking on the street. Their eyes swept over the passers-by, as if they were looking for prey.

Soon, some demons noticed Ye Qiong's unfamiliar face.

Judging from his appearance alone, Ye Qiong was not very tall. The average demon was at least two meters tall, but he was only about 1.8 meters tall. Compared with the demons next to him, he was undoubtedly much shorter.

Generally speaking, this kind of skinny demon is a weakling.

Many demons have already stopped, apparently considering Ye Qiong as their prey.

With Ye Qiong's perception, he could naturally sense the surrounding sights. His steps were still calm and he walked towards the depths of the North City.

There were footsteps behind him. It seemed someone was following him.

Ye Qiong didn't care about it at all, and walked forward with big strides. Instead of heading towards the prosperous city, he wandered around and came to a remote street.

Under the cover of night, this is undoubtedly a good place to start.

Whether it is for those demons with the last digits or for himself.

"You seem very confident, outsider."

After Ye Qiong stopped, the demons behind him also stopped and looked at him with teasing eyes.

He turned around and counted them. There were more than ten demons gathered here. Most of them were in the Silver Realm. He hadn't encountered opponents of this level for a long time. (End of this chapter)
