Early morning
Let’s call it early morning.
The abyss is not in darkness for a long time as Richard once imagined. There is still day and night in the endless abyss.
It’s just that the sunlight in the abyss looks a little weird.
Early in the morning, the ground was filled with red light. The light was so red that it could even cover the blood stains on the ground. The daytime in the abyss was a bright red world, which made Richard extremely uncomfortable.
The morning sun is not like that on the mainland, it brings a little warmth to the body.
But as soon as it appeared, it was as fierce as the scorching sun at noon in July and August, and cracks were baked on the earth.
According to Richard’s estimation, the temperature difference between day and night in this ghost place may be as high as hundreds of degrees, which is not suitable for normal human survival. Only these tenacious demons can live in the abyss for a long time.
Of course, the so-called harsh environment is only relative. For Richard, even if the temperature difference increases by another hundred degrees, it will not have much impact on him.
After reaching the Holy Level, the cold and heat weather had no effect on him.
What really made him uncomfortable in the abyss was the special “deliciousness” from the abyss on the table.
“Charcoal grilled worms”
“Magma Frog Legs”
“Little Lemur Wings”
“Chaos Rotten Mushroom”
The charcoal-roasted worms are just fine. They look a little disgusting. It’s not like Richard has never eaten insect food in his previous life, but why are these worms, whose skin has been roasted into black charcoal, still moving?
The magma frog legs are quite big, already comparable to the legs of a calf, but why are there a few big eyes at the base of the legs.
There are also little lemure wings. If I remember correctly, the lemure seems to be a humanoid demon? Will even the devil himself be on the menu in the Abyss?
The only one that seemed to be a normal a la carte dish was rotten green, and when the spoon was stirred in the mushroom soup, it was completely sticky.
The magic soup prepared by the forest witch is nothing more than that.
No matter how you look at it, this thing is not edible.
That’s all
Although with Richard’s current physique, it wouldn’t necessarily be a problem to just give him two kilograms of arsenic, but looking at this pile of curious food, Richard still had no desire to try new things.
After putting down the knife and fork in his hand, he silently took out some dry food that he had brought with him for breakfast this morning.
On the other hand, the fellow demon lord Sven eats very well, and the food in this hotel seems to suit his appetite.
“How have the inquiries been these past few days?”
As soon as Richard asked, Swain, who was still feasting, immediately raised his head and replied:
“Sir, the demons in Ziyue City can be roughly divided into three larger forces.”
“One is the succubus group under the succubus leader Elise. Although this group of succubi has average combat power, they rely on the big devil to control many industries in the city. The succubus chamber of commerce controls at least 50% of Purple Moon City. The industry, coupled with the fact that the leader Elise also has the strength of the holy level, is the highest-ranking race in Ziyue City after the great devil.”
“There are also the cave demons living underground in Ziyue City.”
“There is a huge space underground in Purple Moon City, and there are at least more than 200,000 demons living in it, mainly cave demons and spider demons, as well as some drow elves.”
“The demons in the underground are basically dominated by Gengs, the leader of the holy-level cave demons. Gengs usually surrenders to the great demon Diabo and leads a large number of cave demons to fight for him in every battle.”
“Of course, the largest force in the city is the great demon clan. In addition to the city lord Ziyue Great Demon Diabo, there are more than a hundred great demon warriors in the city, and there are also more violent demons and A subsidiary race such as the snake demon.”
“The relationship between the succubi and the cave demon doesn’t seem to be very good, but Elise seems to have some unexplained relationship with the Purple Moon Demon Diabo, and she has always suppressed the cave demon in the city.”
The demon Sven told the situation in Ziyue City bit by bit, and Richard also sketched the general situation in the city in his mind.
Richard tapped his fingers on the table and fell into thinking. Purple Moon City was stronger than he imagined, and taking it by force seemed unrealistic.
It is not easy to deal with the more than 100 great demon warriors alone. With more than 100 sky-level experts, even with Richard’s current strength, it is not easy to kill all these great demon warriors.
And it would be too wasteful to kill them all with such a powerful force.
Not to mention that there are at least two or three saint-level combat forces in the city. If he, an outsider, uses force rashly, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble. It is best if he can control the city quietly.
“Is there any news about Diabo in the city?”
“Sorry, my lord, I have no news about Diabo.”
Although Sven, as a demon lord, is very comfortable in Ziyue City, he is still just a new face after all.
With the big devil’s status in the city, it is no problem to recruit a few younger brothers and understand some basic information, but the news involving high-level officials is not something that an outsider can find out in a few days.
“It seems that someone deliberately blocked the message.”
More than ten days have passed since Richard killed Diabo. The lord of the city should have been discovered long ago after he disappeared for so long.
However, order in the city remained at this time, and someone apparently suppressed the news of Diabo’s sudden disappearance.
“The senior officials of Purple Moon City are not stupid. If the news of Diabo’s disappearance comes out, they will not be able to protect the interests of Purple Moon City.”
Purple Moon City’s location in the Southern Region is second to none.
Stuck at the throat of the Worm Plain, new demons will enter the Southern Territory from the Worm Plain every day.
In this position, Ziyue City can complete the first round of screening of new demons, directly absorb them into its own power, and continuously replenish fresh blood.
The weaker ones can be converted into soul stones on the spot, providing massive resources for the development of Ziyue City.
When Diabo dominated Purple Moon City, with his own strong strength and the power of Purple Moon City, he did not allow any other force to get involved in these interests.
I don’t know how many ethnic groups around him hated this, but because of Diabo’s powerful strength, they only dared to be angry and dare not speak out. At most, they secretly picked up some leftovers.
If the news of Diabo’s disappearance or even death is confirmed, Ziyue City, which has lost its strongest person, will not be able to suppress the surrounding demonic forces with just a few Saints of the Realm of Power.
“Perhaps we can contact a force in the city first.”
“Oh, which force do you think we should contact?”
“Well, although the leader of the succubi is a strong Saint-level man, overall the succubi have the weakest combat power. Usually they are more attached to the big demon clan. Now that Diabo is missing, the most anxious thing should be The leader of the succubi, Elise.”
“Do you mean to contact the succubus first?”
“Yes, sir, it is easier for the weak to rely on the strong.”
As a demon lord, although Sven is not a hero, he still belongs to a special unit and his intelligence is not low. After understanding the situation in the city in the past few days, he came up with a more reliable idea.
Elise may still hesitate when the two parties first come into contact, but as Diabo disappears for longer and longer, the situation of the succubus clan, which has lost its backer and has a lot of wealth, will only become more and more difficult.
At that time, it must have been difficult for Elise to refuse the olive branch offered by Richard and others.
But this step-by-step method requires time to slowly ferment, and Richard does not have much time to spend in this abyss.
Richard thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lucifer, who was also eating dry food and had not taken a bite of the delicious food on the table.
“Sir Richard, any stable order is not conducive to us subverting the original rule of Ziyue City. In addition to contacting the succubus, we also need
You have to create some trouble for Ziyue City. ”
“For example?”
“Since Ziyue City wants to suppress the news of Diabo’s disappearance, then we will let the news spread.”
“Not only let the demons in the city know, but also let the demons around you know.”
“The Thousand-Eyed Demon in the northeast of Purple Moon City and the Shadow Demon that has been secretly intercepting water from the Worm Plain are both good targets.”
“Let the demons fight and create chaos, and it will be easier for us to attack.”
Although Lucifer is aloof, as a high-ranking person in Heaven who defected to Hell and became the second-in-command, he is still half a politician. He does know more about this dirty trick than Swain.
“Okay.”
“Sven, continue to recruit some subordinates in the city, organize your own forces, make contact with the succubus first if you have the opportunity, and spread the news of Diabo’s death in the city, and be careful not to expose yourself too early. ”
“Yes, sir!”
“As for Lucifer.”
“You should work harder, find the surrounding demon groups that Ziyue City has no dealing with, and tell them the news that Diabo is dead.”
As he spoke, Richard also threw a prototype wrapped in thick cloth to Lucifer.
Lucifer took the package, and inside was the hideous head of Diabo.
“Yes, sir!”
After deciding on the plan, the two immediately left the hotel run by the snake demon and completed their respective tasks.
Sven’s task is relatively simple. With the special ability of the demon lord, Sven can quickly gather some demons in the city to form a small and medium-sized force, and then contact the succubus while spreading the news of Diabo’s death.
Lucifer gave free rein and went out of the city to encourage the surrounding demonic forces to activate in advance.
Most demons are moody. There is still some order in Ziyue City, but there are countless lunatics outside the city.
But with the strength of Lucifer’s Holy Realm, he is not afraid of encountering any danger.
Even if he encounters a master in the same realm, Lucifer will still have no problem escaping without fighting to the death.
On the contrary, Richard took some time off.
I found a sunny place and started the Fierce Sun Qi Drawing Technique.
Taking advantage of the scarlet sun in the abyss, I practiced the Fierce Sun Qi Drawing Technique, and the effect turned out to be surprisingly good~
