Chapter 413: Power and Identity
After putting her luggage away, Lilith went downstairs to the tavern and found the tavernkeeper.
The tavern owner is a woman with giant blood, a huge body three meters tall, and just looking at it gives people a strong sense of oppression.
"Hey! ~ Little girl, what's the matter? The tavern owner stood inside the bar, looking condescendingly at Lilith in front of the bar.
After years of hard work, Lilith's magic has also recovered a little, and she has grown a little bigger, looking like a little girl of thirteen or fourteen. But in front of the giant's female boss, Lilith looks like nothing more than a small dot.
"Do you have any high-end drinks here?" Money is not an issue. Lilith said as she placed a gold coin with a special pattern on the table.
Seeing the gold coins that Lilith had placed on the bar, the giantess's expression moved slightly, and she reached out and put the gold coins away: "We have here the finest wine from the southern Ainido Manor, the fairy nectar from the Elven Forest, and the Mona magic potion wine from the Mona Kingdom in the north. Don't know which one you want? ”
"Get a bottle of Mona Magic Potion."
"That thing is not something that ordinary people can drink, and ordinary people can't bear the magic power of magic potion wine."
"We are very physical."
"Then come with me." The giantess stepped out from behind the bar and led Lilith in the direction of the cellar.
The two of them left the tavern one after the other and walked into the cellar at the back of the tavern.
The giantess turned around and handed the gold coins she had put away earlier to Lilith, "Envoy, is there something wrong?" ”
"Has anything happened in the Kingdom of Palomia lately that is worth caring about?"
"In recent years, the number of monsters has increased, and there are disasters caused by monsters in various regions, and most of the people blame the demons and the demon king for all this, thinking that the demons have caused all this, so people in many places have a more serious 'anti-demon' sentiment. According to the drinkers, the second prince of the kingdom of Palomia even made a public speech, proposing to take the initiative to attack the demon clan and eliminate the demon king. ”
Lilith frowned slightly: "Hmm...... I've seen this in previous reports. Is there any reaction from the Earth Church to this? ”
"The Earth Church advocates strengthening the power of the adventurous guild and using the power of the adventurous to eliminate the monsters within the kingdom, but it is more opposed to war."
"That's right...... That's good. Lilith breathed a sigh of relief, "Did the other churches react to this?" ”
"According to the guests of the tavern, the Church of Light and the Church of Flame are more active, advocating taking the initiative to attack the demons. The attitude of the Sea Church and the Sky Church is more ambiguous, they do not seem to agree with provoking a big war, but they strongly condemn the persecution of believers in the Mona Kingdom. ”
"What about the Church of the Shadows?"
"The Shadow Church belongs to the kind of organization that has to find ways to provoke a war without a war, but if there is a real war, those rats will only hide behind and make war money, and they will not really participate in the war." The giantess made no secret of her disgust and contempt for the Church of the Shadows.
"Hmm...... Those rats are really annoying. ”
After some questioning, Lilith also had some general understanding of the situation on the side of the kingdom of Palomea.
"Help us get a carriage ready. Tomorrow. Lilith handed the giantess a small bag of money, "The carriage must be of good quality and comfortable. ”
Seeing the money bag handed over by Lilith, a bright smile appeared on the giantess's face: "No problem. I'll call someone to do it right away! ”
After explaining the task, Lilith came to the door of Green's room with a supper and a bottle of "Mona Magic Potion Wine" from Mona's kingdom and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock~"
Soon, the door opened, and Chikage appeared in the doorway.
"Master, supper is ready." Lilith walked in with a big smile on her face.
Green had just finished taking a shower and was wearing his pajamas, standing in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside.
Due to the existence of extraordinary power, when fighting and fighting, the surrounding walls and buildings will be destroyed if you are not careful, so the civil buildings in this world are generally not high, earthquake and demolition is the first requirement of every house, and the vast majority of houses are one- or two-story buildings, so standing at the window on the third floor of the tavern, the field of vision is very wide, and you can see far away.
"The scenery you see is different depending on your identity. In the past, when I saw this kind of scenery, I only thought it was beautiful, but now, when I see this scenery, I think about urban planning. Green smashed his mouth, "When this port was planned, it didn't seem to pay attention to the defense of the port, except for the two fortress guns, there were almost no fortifications in sight on the dock, and it felt like only a few warships were needed to easily capture this port." ”
Lilith blinked, "Is the master planning to attack here?" ”
"It's just a casual remark. War is a continuation of politics, and the purpose of politics is profit. This kind of war across the sea will do more harm than good to us. A war without interests is fought only by fools. ”
Although the Great Wall is strong, it is good to go around it. But this kind of land separated by a sea, even if there is no enemy to stop it, the transportation cost of monsters alone is enough to make Green give up the idea of attacking - monsters also need to eat, and if there is no mana node to supply mana, the daily consumption of mana crystals will be a very terrifying number.
"Oh." Lilith blinked and placed the tray on the table, "Master, I've got a carriage ready. I'll be able to leave early tomorrow morning. ”
"Hmm." Green walked over to the table and sat down.
Lilith picked up the bottle and poured Green a glass of wine.
Mona Magic Potion Wine, a specialty of Mona Kingdom, is rich in magic and can quickly replenish magic power, and is deeply loved by spellcasters and extraordinary knights. However, for ordinary people, the violent magic in such a magic potion is as easy to cause all kinds of discomfort as poison.
Tasting the magic potion in the cup, Green felt very satisfied: "Have you heard the location of those legendary powerhouses?" ”
"The "Guardian Sword Saint" of the Kingdom of Palomia is still in the royal city of Palomia, the "Earth Knight" Eliza has been stationed in Yod City, and the legendary thief Sid has been uncertain, and he has not heard rumors of him recently, so he may have fled to other regions......"
Compared to the "young" kingdom of Norsbod, the kingdom of Palomia has a long history, so there are a large number of legendary powerhouses in the kingdom who live in seclusion. Among them, there are three legendary powerhouses standing in the foreground alone, not counting those old monsters who are in seclusion. And this is one of the reasons why Grimm is reluctant to take the initiative to provoke the southern countries - those old monsters may not come all the way to the Mona Kingdom to find trouble with Grimm, but if the demons hit their doorstep, they may not be able to sit still.
Lilith reported the situation to Green and left.
However, when Lilith returns to her room, she finds an unexpected guest in her room.
A petite succubus was sitting on Lilith's bed, opening her suitcase and rummaging through it.
Lilith raised her eyebrows: "Memena, you don't stand guard well, but you ran into my room without permission to rummage through the cabinets?" I'll tell the head maid of the guard what you've done now, and you'll wait to be hung up and pumped by her." ”
"I'm on a rotational rest right now! Rotation! Got it? Lori Succubus raised her head and glared at Lilith viciously, "And why do I have to sleep in the wilderness, and you can sleep in such a comfortable bed!" This is so unfair! ”
"Fair? It's funny that a succubus actually told me to be fair. Lilith stepped forward and kicked the succubus Lori down.
"Ahh ~" Succubus Lori rolled out of bed and slammed her head against the wall, making a "bang~" sound.
"Don't mess up my luggage." Lilith put the box away.
Succubus Lori got up from the ground and looked at Lilith pitifully: "I said No. 1, can you help me plead with my master?" I don't want to be a doorman anymore. ”
"Don't call me that name!" Lilith's eyes widened, "And I won't help you." ”
"All right, Lilith. I'll just say it straight, the two of us have to be together! Lori Succubus looked serious, "Now there are two major factions under the master: the orc faction and the human faction, and the succubus is only the two of us." If the two of us don't cooperate with each other, sooner or later all the power will be divided between the orc faction and the human faction. ”
The same people don't have the same fate.
Most of the members who defected to the Demon King in the early days have been mixed into the core leadership team of the Mona Kingdom, and even Lilith has become the deputy minister of the military intelligence department of the Mona Kingdom by virtue of her political achievements and abilities, but Memena, who is also a succubus, is a bit miserable.
Because of the many serious mistakes she made, Memena was even thrown to the mine to mine for a time, and it wasn't until Chikage began to form a shadow guard that Memena was released from the mine and transferred back to Demon King City, becoming a glorious ...... Guard.
That's right, Memena's new class is a janitor, and her main job is to be in charge of blocking knives: if you encounter an assassin who is so powerful that none of the guards can give warning, when Memena is killed, Green will automatically receive an early warning through Memena's real name.
For her job, Memena is very dissatisfied! Why can Lilith, who is also a succubus, become a high-ranking demon, but she can only be a small soldier? Memena was not convinced. After some ideological struggle, Memena finally decided to come to Lilith to cooperate - everyone is a succubus, a member of the same race, and it is completely possible to hold together.
Hearing Memena's words, Lilith thought for a moment, "You're right. ”
"So......" Succubus Lori looked at Lilith expectantly.
"But I refuse to work with idiots." Lilith's eyes widened, she stepped forward and grabbed the Lori succubus who wanted to escape, "You fuck me off now!" If you dare to appear in front of me again, I will complain to the captain of the maid of the guard. ”
"Uh......h We are the same race~ You can't do this to me. We should cooperate! ”
"Yes, we're of the same race, so I know very well what succubi are." Lilith grabbed the Lori Succubus and threw it out of the window, "Get out of here!" ”
