Chapter Seventy-Six: A Visitor from the Abyss
Sesimi City is a frontier fortress of the Shenghui Empire, and it is also an important trading city of the Shenghui Empire. It's just that Sexime, one of the most prosperous trading cities in the Shenghui Empire, is a young city that has been established for less than 40 years. That's right, the city was built on the basis of a small village bordering the Elven Kingdom in the territory of the former Tutmund Kingdom, now called the Sesi Territory.
Its prosperity is not only due to the formal alliance between the Shenghui Empire and the Elven Kingdom as an opportunity of the Frozen City Rebellion, but also because it is also a border city of 4 countries, including the Elven Kingdom and the Shenghui Empire. While the other two human kingdoms did not trade with the Elven Kingdom for various reasons, this does not mean that their upper nobles did not like artwork from the Elven Race. Therefore, Seximee City, which is completely open to trading with elves, has become the main place for them to buy elven products.
Forty years ago, when the city was first established, the young and newly ascended Emperor Sheng Hui 47 wanted to reward the city to an imperial general who could conquer and fight well and had made great achievements in the war of territorial development, but it was invalidated because someone was desperate to stop it. Now his second son, the 48th Emperor Sheng Hui, often thanked the old prime minister and a certain ancestor of his own family who stopped his father's behavior at that time. The city's current tax revenues now account for 7% of the total tax revenue of the Shenghui Empire. This phenomenon has to be said to be a miracle for the Shenghui Empire, which has a long history, a huge territory, and countless cities.
On the other hand, the elf king Kasha, who had tasted the benefits of trade and cooperation with the Shenghui Empire, did not rest on his laurels, and after reaching some kind of agreement with the Warcraft King in the forest, he opened a part of the forest area to the adventurers as a hunting place for the adventurers. The establishment of a medium-sized safe area in this area of the Elven Kingdom certainly made a lot of money, and the Warcraft King also used the hands of adventurers to unify his own ruling area and strengthen his rule.
In fact, many adventurers also know that behind the opening of this area is some kind of agreement between Sheng Hui 48, King Kasha, and Warcraft King Wind Giant Eagle, so this area cannot be overdeveloped. But after all, this is the former Elven Forest, and the resources in it, especially the medicinal resources, are really eye-catching. Therefore, many adventurer squads and mercenary groups have come to Seximi City in the Shenghui Empire, intending to run to this area to try their luck. With the help of a large group of adventurer squads and mercenary groups, the Mercenary Guild of Sessimi City quickly became one of the most famous mercenary guilds in the entire continent of Ella, and has been renovated several times to become the largest structure in Sessymi City.
In this corner of the sprawling mercenary guild, there is an indoor bar that provides food and alcohol for adventurers and mercenaries. In the corner of this noisy bar, a guy wrapped in a pitch-black cloak occupies an entire table by himself, exuding a terrifying smell that no one should enter. It's just that the unruly strong men and women in the tavern would rather huddle together and turn a blind eye to the cloaked man who occupies such a large table, and it seems that something unpleasant has happened that makes them understand the strength of this one.
In front of him was a plate of expensive steak grills and a glass of delicious champagne, but the man in the cloak seemed to have no interest in these delicacy, which even many adventurers would salivate, and often raised his tightly wrapped head to look at the door of the bar, as if anxiously waiting for someone.
If someone had taken off the man's head and given him a dispel spell, they would have found that the man sitting quietly in the corner of the bar was actually a demon. And the level of this demon is not low, it is a high-ranking demon with the most typical battlefield demon known as the powerhouse of the angry demon clan. It is a rare spectacle that such a powder keg-like demon of destruction can wait quietly in a noisy human tavern.
It has been 51 years since the Great Demon Texas Fury, who possessed the strength of the late stage of the Amethyst Rank, was sent from the Abyss to the Ira Continent by his immediate boss, the Demon Lord Ankasa Greed. Although it is the deepest dream of every Abyssal Demon to run to the continent of Ella, the premise of this dream is that they run to the continent of Ella to do their favorite activity - destroying and killing lives, not to hide in a situation like the current Texas where they dare not even show their heads. It's just that Texas, who was given a death order by his boss and the master of Ankasa, had to do this kind of action that drove the demons crazy.
Since the message of the Luna Wine entered the abyss, the Demon Lord Kasa Greed, who likes to expand wildly, suddenly changed his way, quickly ordered to withdraw his subordinates who were fighting everywhere, and began to dispatch his capable generals to the Ella Continent regardless of the danger of being wiped out by the Human Sun Church in large numbers. And Ankasa's number one general, Texas Fury, was personally designated as the commander-in-chief of the event.
Unlike the other angry demons, as an old follower who witnessed the legendary rise of the demon boss Kassan, Texas, who has largely ensured his own safety after Ankasa's complete rise, has a strange fetish in his life. At present, the demon likes to collect and read war books written down by humans, and with his not weak wisdom, he has turned them all into his own knowledge. It's just that demons are demons after all, and he learned these things to complete the torture of the enemy on the battlefield, not to win the war like humans.
It's just that his habit has created his current helpless state, and Ankasa, who knows his subordinate's command ability, does not hesitate to send this number one subordinate he relies on the most and has been with him the longest time to the Ella continent to serve as the commander-in-chief of this event for the sake of his dream.
When the oracles of the three supreme gods, especially the oracle of the great god of the earth and the abyss, El, reached the abyss, Ankasa, a legendary demon, immediately sensed an opportunity to become stronger even more. Ankassa, who was once an inferior demon, has reached this position with unremitting efforts, cunning mind, a little luck and a strange sixth sense, among which Ankasa values his sixth sense the most. He doesn't know how many times he has been saved by this feeling, and he doesn't know how much opportunity he has been given. Anyway, the newest demon Grand Duke in the abyss attaches great importance to this feeling every time.
This time, after having this feeling, Ankasa was of course ecstatic. In the abyss of chaos, your own strength is everything! Although he has already ranked among the top ranks of the abyss like the Demon Grand Duke, he is still in the bottom category in this group. The nascent demon Grand Duke, who was eager to improve his strength, certainly wouldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He had spent a full three hundred years of life making several predictions, and had also used many precious materials to perform several difficult magic explorations, but unfortunately these had failed. Like most of the major powers in the Ella Continent, this demon lord was not able to get even the slightest bit of information about the Luna Liquor from it. It's just that unlike many others who have given up here, the Demon Grand Duke has been thinking about it for nearly two years, and finally came up with the reason for this phenomenon: it is a phenomenon caused by the most powerful rule interference in the Fit world, the Father's Contract.
When he guessed that the Luna Wine had something to do with the Father's Contract, the demon burst out laughing, and he realized that his sixth sense had once again prepared a great opportunity for himself. In the abyss, I don't know why there is a saying that says, "Bypassing the Father's contract, those who achieve their goals will receive a selfless gift from the Great Father." ”。 And combined with his sixth sense, Ankasa believed in this rumor after the father-god contract about the Luna wine.
Therefore, he would rather give up the territory he was about to get and teleport his most powerful men to the continent of Ella.
