What age is it, still in the traditional card making

When Old Mok heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly.

"Boss, everyone knows that if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard. But the problem is that everyone is scared by those Shadow Gate demons! Where do you think those more than 20,000 demons came from? They all wanted to take advantage of the Shadow Gate demons, so they signed a high debt and were forced to sign a slave contract."

"Isn't that right? The Shadow Gate Demon chose to flee and abandoned his property in East City. The houses left behind should be ownerless. What do you have to be afraid of?"

"It's not ownerless. The deed is still in the hands of Shadow Gate Demon."

"Then wait until they come back. At worst, we can just move out. Can they use this to threaten you to pay the rent?"

"Boss, it's true. The Shadow Gate demons once used a ritual to summon a special being. They sacrificed their own property and exchanged it for an extremely special book from this being.

As long as someone owes them something, they can use this book to collect the debt from the other party. If the other party is unable to repay their debt, they need to obey the orders of this group of shadow demons. "

After hearing this, Ye Qiong had a preliminary understanding of the so-called Shadow Gate Demon Clan.

No wonder this clan has such a bad reputation. It turns out that they always set up traps to make others owe them money, and then use that special book to forcibly collect the debt.

As for why no strong man was greedy for this book and tried to rob it,

The reason is very simple.

Just from the name of this clan, we can tell that

As long as the shadow door is opened, they can run away to other places in an instant. Who can do anything to them?

The strong ones were not interested in their little possessions, but the ordinary demons were tricked to death by this book.

There are no ordinary demons living in Dongcheng District now, and it is for this reason.

When the Shadow Gate Demon Clan comes back one day, they will definitely hold that book and ask you to pay the rent.

All I can say is that everyone is so scared of being cheated that they don’t even want to take advantage of a bargain that they get for free.

The doubts in Dongcheng District have been solved, so it is the turn of the rich people in Nancheng District. Ye Qiong opened his mouth and expressed his doubts.

After hearing Ye Qiong's question, Old Mok showed a surprised expression again, as if he didn't understand why Ye Qiong asked this.

"Boss, disaster is imminent. If the wealthy families in South City don't donate a little, will their treasures be snatched away by the greedy dragons when the enemy arrives at the gates of the city?"

This is the truth, but Ye Qiong still doesn't understand the choices made by those wealthy families.

"Given their conditions, there should be other options, right?"

"other?"

After Old Mok asked back a question, he quickly understood what Ye Qiong meant by the rest.

"Boss, the others you mentioned probably mean fleeing to other countries, right? The demon world is so big, with their assets, they can make a living anywhere, but this is under peaceful conditions.

Now basically all the leaders of all countries have realized that this war will not end in a short time.

Either the dragons are annihilated or the demons are wiped out, otherwise this war will never end.

Therefore, in order to survive this war, all countries have adopted some extreme policies. "

"Does this include you?"

Upon hearing this, Old Mok burst into laughter and replied:

"That's right, boss. Why do you think those rich people didn't run away? Because they all owed a favor to the Duchess! The Duchess's favor can never be repaid in a lifetime!"

Ye Qiong slowly typed a question mark, how did this have to do with favors?

Seeing the boss's puzzled expression, Old Mok knew that it was time for him, the local boss, to play a role. He did not keep the boss in suspense and directly gave the answer:

"Boss, I just told you that some of the Shadow Gate Demons who were hoping for a lucky break were captured by the Duchess."

"And then what? These Shadow Gate demons worked for the Duchess and lent her the power of the book. Because the rich families owed the Duchess money, the power of the book took effect?"

At ten o'clock at night,

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

"The southern part of Riverbank City is a wealthy area. Generally speaking, recruitment posters will not be sent to them because these people have countless ways to escape the conscription. If they really reach a point where there is no escape, they can still leave Riverbank City and leave the Principality."

Ye Qiong looked at the poster on the table, then asked Edas:

"How many demons are there in the rich area?"

“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 latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

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, give me some time and I should be able to analyze it."

Kelly took the bottle, put it into her space ring, and then started talking about what she saw and heard in the east and west parts of Hewan City.

The mechanical puppet she controlled went to the eastern part of Hewan City, and she soon discovered that the entire eastern part of the city was deserted and as dark as a ghost town. No one lived there at all, and no one knew what had happened here.

Hearing this, Ye Qiong interrupted:

"Maybe there are not many people living in your house? It's already night time, it's normal for them to turn off the lights and go to bed, right?"

"That's what I thought at the beginning, so I controlled the mechanical puppets to search every house. The houses in the eastern city were basically empty. The owners of the houses may have moved all their belongings away and fled."

"Wait a minute, with such a big incident happening in the eastern city, how is it possible that those hooligans in the north didn't receive any intelligence at all?"

"Maybe he thinks everyone knows about it, so there's no need to tell you?"

When Adas heard this, he shook his head and said: (End of this chapter)
