Beta is not a dark creature, what do you want this negative energy crystal for, even if it is used as a magic material, it is very useless.

"I think you, as the city lord, your strength is a little weak, it's better to strengthen it." Beta said half-truthfully, "These things don't work very well for me, so I might as well use them for you." ”

Angela kept looking at Beta, as if trying to tell the truth from what he said, and Beta looked at her calmly.

The first one who couldn't stand it and looked away was Angela.

"Alright, I got it." Angela waved her hand angrily: "I'll ask Martha to bring you a hundred gold coins." ”

Coming out of the palace, Beta went back to her room to rest.

He hadn't slept for dozens of hours, and he was also a little tired.

After habitually setting up a guard, harmless little magic trap at the door, Beta entered the mansion magic space.

After sleeping for three hours, Beta reappeared in good spirits, and it happened that Martha also came to him with a hundred gold coins.

A stone box with a very quaint feel and a very rough shape.

Most of the demons are glowing ferns, and there are no trees, so most of the containers here are made of stone.

"The money is here. A hundred, you click. Martha looked at Beta, with a little disbelief on her long face: "You actually gave such a valuable thing to the queen, do you really want to be with the queen?" ”

Beta sighed helplessly, why did the succubus always think of these questions. But then I think about it, and I think it's normal.

** It is the nature of succubi, and it is also the skill they rely on to survive in the demon world.

When they get benefits, they will subconsciously think that the other party wants to **, which is reasonable.

Beta waved his hand, not wanting to explain anything, but said, "Can you gather the blacksmiths in the city?" ”

Martha nodded.

About an hour later, Beta was sitting in a somewhat cramped stone house, which was his 'office'.

There were more than a dozen demons sitting opposite, and compared to ordinary demons, the evil aura on their bodies was much less.

These are the demons of the orderly and evil camp, and most of them are mind snatchers.

Although the Mind Flayer's 'Face Changeling Technique' is a very troublesome thing in the human world, it is not so practical in the demon world.

Because many demons recognize people by smell and magic fluctuations, rather than simply by appearance.

As a result, many Mind Flayers focus their energy on honing their skills.

The intelligence of the Mind Flayer is quite high in the Demon Realm, so they can achieve something in terms of skill. But that's about it.

If combat skills can be improved in battle, then life skills can only be improved in a peaceful or relatively stable environment.

Although war is the catalyst for the escalation of various weapons, at least it is necessary to ensure a stable life for the craftsman for a short time, and no matter how smart a person is, there must be a time process for learning this knowledge.

But the demon world is so chaotic that it doesn't even have this time.

Many things are pondered by oneself for a few days of settling down occasionally, and the things that come out of this figuring out are very likely to disappear in a few days or years due to turmoil.

People are dead!

Nothing.

There is not even a decent inheritance.

Looking at the group of blacksmiths, Beta took out the stack of papers he had prepared earlier and said, "This is what I wrote down when I was in the human world, some basic forging techniques, as well as the experience of building and using furnaces. It's not very comprehensive, but I think it should be much better than what you guys messed around with on your own. ”

Hearing this, the craftsmen's eyes lit up.

Although human beings are weak chickens in the eyes of the demons, they have to admit that the craftsmanship of human beings far surpasses them.

As for Beta's words, they were very convinced, firstly, that Beta was human, which strengthened his convincing, and secondly, as a strong man, as a magistrate, he did not need to lie to these lowly craftsmen.

"I can give you things, the contents must not be exposed, and from now on, you must all be attached to the succubus clan for the rest of your life, and you must not work for other races or city lords. If you agree, you can stay, and if you don't, you will live as before, understand? ”

Martha looked at Beta in surprise.

The expressions of the group of craftsmen were a little hesitant.

If they can get the casting skills of human beings, then their skills will definitely grow a lot in the future, why should they stay in this small city of succubi, go to the city of the Great Commander and the Great Devil, wouldn't they be more preferential and have more benefits?

At that moment, a Mind Flayer craftsman said, "Sheriff Li Lin, can we pay for these technologies?" ”

Beta looked at him amusefully and asked, "Do you think I'm like a man who is short of money?" Besides, why don't I sell it to a big lord or something? There's a lot of money, are you really stupid for me? ”

A group of artisans had nothing to say.

Finally one of the Mind Flayer Craftsmen stood up and left.

Then they left one by one, leaving only four blacksmiths behind.

Martha's expression was a little ugly, and Beta could even feel the faint killing intent on her body.

"I don't need to do anything to them just yet." Beta said slowly, "If they stay in the city obediently, as usual, forget it." If they leave within a few days...... Kill what you can. ”

Martha nodded.

Beta gave some basic human forging techniques, and the original intention was to provide some technical support to the city of Erb. He didn't want these techniques to spread to the entire Demon Realm. Because in this way, in a few years, the Demon Realm will have better quality weapons and armor, which will inevitably cause greater harm to the human world.

Why Erb City?

Beta's life in the past few months has found that succubi are actually very close to humans.

Even some of the Fallen Terrans are friendly to them. Since ancient times, summoners have summoned a lot of succubi, and there has never been a case of a succubus killing all sides, or causing a disaster.

A race that instinctively gets close to humans, Beta feels like it can be wooed.

When it comes to the war between humans and demons, maybe they can rebel, and even if they can't, they can keep them neutral.

If it really goes against the grain, then it's really a big profit.

Succubi don't have much of a disadvantage other than love. And the private life of the nobles is on par with the succubus, there is no difference.

If you can endure the nobility, you can endure the succubus.

For this reason, Beta felt that she could make a certain personal investment in the succubus.

And now, it's just a preliminary attempt.

The four blacksmiths who stayed behind were naturally heavily 'protected', and their lives and their needs in the future would be met and controlled by the succubus clan.

A hundred gold coins were used to buy them materials, utensils, etc.

Of course, because of the lack of resources in the demon world, the purchased succubi need to go further away before it is possible to find what they want. It takes time.

Over the next few days, most of the blacksmiths who had left were on their toes, and of course, the bodies of a few others were found outside the city, and then eaten as a delicacy by the Flame Imps.

After Angela knew about this, she snorted: "Unexpectedly, there are a few people in our Demon Realm who value credibility. It was Li Lin's approach that made us owe him a lot of favors. ”

Martha said indifferently: "Then continue to owe it, it's all your own people anyway." ”

Angela shook her head, "You don't understand. Human affection is important. ”

"Didn't you just go to the human world once? What a score? Martha grimaced: "One day, I will also go to the human world, and then 'eat' a lot of men, so that they will all become my subordinates." ”

Angela said lightly: "We succubi only wear high-leg tights, not skirts. ”

Martha was so angry that she couldn't say anything, snorted and turned to leave.

"Tsk, all of them are so arrogant, I'm the queen."

That being said, Angela didn't mean to be angry at all.

In the human world, Sophia took her daughter Barbara to use a large teleportation array to reach Wojin City in an instant.

Although the major cities of Hollevin have built teleportation magic arrays, the price of three silver coins at a time is destined to be a way of travel that can only be enjoyed by dignitaries.

Ordinary civilians gritted their teeth and could try it, but for them, it was more cost-effective to take a horse-drawn carriage or a boat ride from the canal.

Now the land and water routes in Hollevon are extremely smooth, and the travel time is not only greatly shortened, but also the guards of the Temple of Fortune patrol regularly whether it is by water or land, which is very safe.

It's been a long time since I've heard of a robbery by a road bandit or a water bully.

Coming out of the teleportation array, there was a bustling crowd in front of him.

I don't know how much more prosperous it is than Neverwinter.

And there are many races here, and in just two or three minutes, Barbara has already seen elves, cat people, fox people, werewolves, etc......

Sophia took Barbara to the City Lord's Mansion, and after reporting her name, she was received by Shirley.

Shirley, who was so beautiful and amorous, happily took Sophia's hand, and after chatting with her for a while, she asked, "Are you here to travel this time?" ”

"There's something I want to trouble you, but it's not me, it's my daughter."

Shirley looked at Barbara, nodded and said, "Long time no see, Lady Barbara." ”

Out of respect for Kyle, Shirley also gave Barbara enough face.

Barbara was drinking a glass of honey wine, a ...... from the elves It's delicious, sweet with a hint of sourness, and it's endless.

After taking a deep breath, Barbara said, "Actually, this matter is also beneficial to your Divine Cult. For the sake of my husband and my face, can you take the initiative to make peace with the Red-Magic Tower and at the same time recall the army of Reilden? ”

"What!" Shirley felt she had misheard, and she looked at Sophia incredulously.

Sophia said apologetically, "I just came here to keep things out of control." ”

Shirley looked at Barbara for a moment and asked, "Is this what Kyle meant?" ”
