Chapter 229: Heavenly Demon Eye

On the other side, Chen Yue and the others were already very close to the capital of the Undead Realm.

It's also the most prosperous place in the realm of the dead, with many towering towers that are the lich's research center and the most recognizable buildings near the capital of the dead.

Chen Yue and the others landed far away, this is not like other towns that can't do anything about them, those magic cannons densely packed on the city wall of light are not something that Diana can withstand, not to mention the trump card in the defense mechanism, the forbidden spell magic released by the Shadow Spire, even the gods dare not take it casually.

The town near the capital of the dead is also particularly prosperous, and it is also the favorite place for many merchants to come, after all, the cost of entering the city of the dead is quite expensive, and if you trade in the city, the relevant taxes are also much higher, which makes many merchants choose to trade outside the city.

The real big chambers of commerce don't take this money into account, as long as it is a valuable commodity, it can be sold for a sky-high price in the capital of the dead, enough for them to earn back the money they paid for taxes.

Normally, only ordinary bulk commodities will choose a small town outside the city as a trading location.

There are taxes here, but they are much lower than in the city.

Over time, the town that is now built around the capital of the dead was formed. This semi-official trading place is also deliberately created by the high-ups of the realm of the dead.

The undead are not people who can abide by the rules in the first place, not to mention the Diya people, their ancestors were originally people from the Black Zone, and they can do business in a proper manner, then there are really ghosts.

Therefore, instead of trading secretly, it is better to put this gray income on the surface, so that the undead kingdom can have some taxes, rather than the thankless capture of tax evasion, which is a unique win-win model of the undead kingdom, unlike the human kingdoms that kill them all with a stick.

As for private transactions, as long as the scale is small, the officials of the realm of the dead will not bother to ask.

But if it's a big scale, then you have to honestly choose a place to pay your taxes, otherwise you will be treated as smuggling if you are caught, and all the goods will be confiscated by fines, or sent to the gallows at worst, and the corpse may even be used by the lich for research.

Of course, if you don't find out, you won't be asked what to do with the realm of the dead, but only if you can avoid the magic eye in the sky.

In the City of the Dead, all the areas covered by the Death Sky are the monitoring range of the Sky Eye, and anyone who tries to evade taxes cannot hide it from the Sky Demon Eye, and the same is true for other illegal and criminal acts.

The Sky Demon Eye is a kind of magic eye with a longer detection range and wider detection range than the city-type magic eye, but if you really treat it as a magic eye, then you had better not cause trouble within its detection range, otherwise, even if it is disguised and secret, as long as it does not reach the god level, it will be found out.

The other MONOCULUS are all copied from the Celestial Eye, including some other Sky-type MONOCULUS in large cities, and it can be said that the Celestial Eye is the ancestor of all the MONOCULUS in the realm of the undead.

This satellite-like product is an invention of the Arcane Empire, which usually relies on the lightning in the canopy of death as energy, and its main job is to monitor the security situation in the capital of the dead, and the rest of the work is just a secondary job in leisure time, used to pass the boring time in peacetime.

That's right, it's just to pass the time of boredom.

The Eye of the Heavenly Demon is a mechanical lifeform, a living mechanical creature, and after being discovered by the realm of the undead, it has become the most troublesome existence for the enemy in the capital of the dead, and ordinary spies can't hide it at all. And the miracle thing is not a cabbage, if it is lost in the City of the Dead, any force will feel distressed for a long time.

Chen Yue and the others also stopped outside the monitoring range of the Heavenly Demon Eye, although he and Christina were not afraid of the Nine Rings Detection Magic "Seeing Truth Technique" fixed on the Heavenly Demon Eye, but Diana and Judith had no way to hide the Heavenly Demon Eye. And they didn't come to the capital of the dead to find trouble, so Christina didn't use her divine power to cover their whereabouts.

However, Chen Yue and the others caused a lot of trouble along the way, Diana's dragon form had already been on the blacklist of the undead realm, and if it was discovered, it would definitely attract the attention of the defenders in the capital of the dead.

And Diana in human form doesn't have this problem, and Chen Yue and the others can avoid this problem as long as they change their disguise or simply restore their original appearance.

As for Judith, it's even simpler.

She is no longer Judith as she used to be, and Christina transformed Judith into Salein on the way here, which has led to a drastic change in her current appearance, even her parents may not recognize her, as if she has become a completely different person.

At this time, Judith also understood Chen Yue's true identity, and at the same time, why they were so sure that Queen Victoria would help her, it turned out that the queen and they were all in a group, a mysterious organization called the Scourge, and even the goal of the organization in the near stage was to control the undead realm.

This made Judith not react at once, so many shocking news put together, her brain fell into a crash, and she couldn't recover in a short time, making people think that she was stupid.

Chen Yue and the others looked at Judith like this, and couldn't help but wonder if the transformation had failed, otherwise how could they have such a stupid expression.

Eventually, Judith recovered.

This made Christina, who was about to break open her skull and check whether there was any damage to the brain inside, and withdrew the scimitar in her hand with a regretful face.

Judith didn't know that she was so surprised that she almost got kicked off, but fortunately she recovered at the critical moment, which allowed her to walk back from the ghost gate.

"You didn't get stupid and took back that stupid expression earlier, so much so that I almost thought it was a failed transformation spell."

Christina didn't mention her actions just now, slapped her palms heavily, and said with a serious face: "You are also a member of the Scourge Legion now, and you have also understood some things from the contract, remembering the master's orders is everything!" ”

When Judith became Salein, she couldn't help herself, but she didn't have any frustration, but secretly rejoiced in her heart that she could become the same Salein as Queen Victoria. And she also completed the leap in strength in the process of transformation, becoming a vampire with the same epic peak power as their patriarch.

"Understood!"

Judith bent down and said respectfully, "No matter what the master asks me to do, I promise to finish it as soon as possible." ”
