Having obtained the information of the alchemy school, Lu En pondered how to use it.

Bai informed the elders that Yurahir should need a little time to react, the federation is developing well, and everything is going according to plan.

He is now the Earl of Angle, and the concept of Angleo is gradually merging with the Empire, and the Shadow Realm will naturally do the same, and soon, the elders should come to the door.

Kindness......

The current arrangement, of course, is of course the grain trade, the title has been obtained, and a month later he will go to the official knighthood, and then he can openly meddle in the grain trade, this can't be remembered, he must wait until the official knighthood.

Now, what to do?

Igný, the fire djinn, and some other forces from hell...... It can be used, and it should be used to unite them.

You should have to go to hell.

Everything else has to wait, so let's go to hell.

There are two ways to go to hell, one of which is so simple that anyone can do it.

That is death.

Of course, Lu En will not choose this, for Magic 9, opening the door of the realm is nothing, there is a subtle connection between many planes, such as the shadow realm and the overworld.

These planes are all in the universe, but they are only different planes in the universe.

Follow the subtle connection between the realms and then open the teleportation to activate the realm gate.

A ring rune gradually spread, and it was exquisitely joined together by countless runes, tearing open the cracks in the space and spreading the magic out.

Soon, the passage was completed, and Lu En stepped in.

Before he could do so, he felt a hot wind in his face, as if his lungs were filled with sand and dust, and the flames burned his trachea, making his breathing painful.

He had to give himself a "patient environment" so that he could stand where he was.

The place he came to was not the throne of the fire djinn, because teleporting to the throne, it is estimated that the fire djinn named Igni will be able to fight him endlessly.

For this kind of being, who sees the face as more important than anything else, it is necessary to maintain respect.

So his first stop, was the River Styx.

Styx.

The place of misery, the place where the soul is "buried" by the dead.

The reason why I put quotation marks around the burial is because it is not at all peaceful.

The greasy and smelly waters of the Styx can corrode souls and permanently erase any memories that taint their souls, a process that is extremely slow and painful, and those souls will be slowly consumed from all memories in the agony of sulfuric acid corrosion, and finally turned into the power of the essence of the soul, without any consciousness or thought, leaving only the soul itself to merge into the Styx.

The River Styx itself is a collection of countless souls, so many forces have set up outposts and resource sites next to the River Styx to collect all of this.

The most powerful and the most powerful are naturally the native creatures of hell, the demons.

The demons propped up in the River Styx, sailing on the filthy waters in seemingly battered but sealed boats, calling themselves the Styx ferrymen, who would drag the unconscious souls onto the boats, and the souls would usually pay for the "ticket" with whatever they could.

They would then stack the souls in the prisoner carts they were about to be transported away from them, and instead transport them to the realms of the Helllords by large barges, and while the goods were sometimes looted or diverted, the vast majority of souls would soon arrive at their intended destination and be turned into currency.

The currency of hell is soul and gold.

Gold can be used anywhere, even in hell, which is counterintuitive, but there is a very simple logic in it.

While the soul is the main currency of hell, the various intrigues of the demons on the main plane usually require the support of great wealth.

Gold can be used to breed cultists and other minions in the Overworld, and can be used to hire spies and assassins, bribe imperial officials, or the leader of a chamber of commerce.

Although the devils are accustomed to enslaving or forcing slaves to work, they still need to buy enough slaves from humans, and the native species of hell is not as useful as monster hybrids.

Finally, and most importantly, gold can buy souls.

Demons often use money or their power to construct a pact to lure mortals to fall, and the Celestial Realm has always prevented this from happening, and the most common enemies of the clergy are demons.

In a typical soul contract, a demon uses money and supernatural powers, or the services of a demon, to become the master of a demon or something like a lure to exchange the soul of a mortal contractor.

There was a king of hell who specialized in these matters, and when he first came across it, he thought it was nonsense, but after trying it himself, he was amazed at the fact!

There are so many mortals who are willing to sell their immortal essence for a very low price! Just to get some shiny pieces of metal back!

As for the second power of the River Styx, that is where Lu En is now tpartparting.

Styx Waterworks.

The River Styx itself is an aggregate of countless souls, humans are more demonic than demons, they don't do anything to tempt, pay even a little price, they directly use magic equipment to pump water from the River Styx, and then make the crystallization of the soul - "Hell Ice".

It's simple, convenient, and inexhaustible.

There was a lot of noise around the Styx Waterworks because the humans were here.

Where will there be less buying and selling where there are people? Even in Hell, there are many lifeless merchants who come to Hell every day through the permanent teleportation array built by the Academy, and transport the specialties here to the Overworld to make huge profits.

As long as there is gold, there are glittering gold coins of the emperor with heraldic coats of arms made by the empire, even if it is hell, humans can turn it into a downtown area.

"This gentleman! It's the first time you're going to hell, right?! Do I need to stay in a hotel? Is food and water ready? We have a good beast pack horse, and it's a great place to travel in hell, why don't you try it? ”

"Sir, Prison Ice, lots of Prison Ice! The goods we get here directly from the waterworks are guaranteed to be the cheapest on the street! ”

"My lord, succubus hybrids! Pure-bloods, we've got them all here! Guaranteed not to go to hell in vain! ”

Lu En ignored a lot of such words along the way, but when he heard the succubus hybrid, he couldn't help but snort.

Damn, it's a shame that these people can figure it out, succubus...... Do you prostitute her or do you prostitute you? It's hard to collect money at both ends, one side collects the succubus's prostitution money, and the other accepts the prostitution customers, it's really a business.

Walk around the Styx Waterworks, which have expanded into a sizable town with tens of thousands of people, all of whom are merchants.

The merchants provided services to other merchants, the Hellice merchants bought goods from the waterworks and sold them to the merchants, and then the Hellice merchants usually ate and lodging to solve their physiological problems, and let the tavern merchants do the work for them, and the merchants sold all kinds of materials, food, and cloth they brought from the human world to other merchants stationed here, and so on, different kinds of merchants sold their own things to others, forming a perfect closed loop.

The only output here is Hellice, a steady stream of Hellice created from the River Styx, which has become an excellent spellcasting material and mana reservoir for the majority of the mage class.

Lu En didn't bother with the Styx Water Plant, he didn't come here for this, he passed through here and went to the territory of the Fire Djinn.

Hell has a lot of fire elements, which is also one of the sources of the impression of Flame Hell, in most cases, the demons and the fire element are all at peace, after all, the fire element has no material needs at all, the elemental creatures only need energy, and the free energy in nature is completely enough for them to survive.

Even if they wanted to be promoted, most of the promotions of elemental creatures were devouring their own kind, and they didn't even bother to pay attention to the demons, so they couldn't talk about it at all.

Therefore, the demons will naturally not be idle to provoke the flames that will explode at the slightest point, because the other party is really likely to come over and fight with you because of a word.

Duke Wald must have been impressed by this, and a fire djinn almost blew himself up in his house.

Except, of course, the kings of hell.

As the de facto controllers of Hell, even the elementals will maintain basic respect for them, such as the last time Igny had a great respect for Lu En, but it was already surprising that he could be honest and obedient.

Crossing the waterworks, we came to the three-regardless zone.

It is also the bank of the River Styx.

Lu En stood here, and no one noticed him.

Soon, however, a battered boat was slowly approaching from the depths of the River Styx.

There stood a rickety old man in the boat, but with a curly tail with bat-wings and whip-like ends and a tail hook, and a robe covered with cobwebs, and when he arrived, the air was filled with a smell of blood similar to that of rust, and though there was no obvious source, it was certain that it came from the ferryman.

“…… Those who cross the river, report their names. He said in an ethereal voice.

It is the ferryman's job, charging the living for the boat and the soul for all the soul.

"Huh? Registered? You're talking about me? Lu En pointed at himself, a little surprised.

"Mortals, if you want to cross the river, report your name." The ferryman continued to say with a blank face.

Lu En smiled and stepped into the River Styx, not getting on the boat.

Upon entering the River Styx, his body vanished abruptly, as if it had never existed.

The ferryman's expression became dazed, and he shook his head to look around, only to suddenly realize that there really seemed to be nothing.

He recalled, only to find that the memory of what he had just now had become more and more blurry, as if no one had passed by at all.

That...... Why is he here?

Can't figure it out.

In the end, he left with the boat in his boat, leaving the matter behind.
