CHAPTER XVIII

Walking into this so-called demon town, John can clearly feel the gap between them and the human civilization on the source continent: the streets here are not so much streets, but passages between various simple tents, and some demons can be seen running around in the gap between the tents, and from time to time they will fight because of a small piece of meat, a piece of animal skin, or even just the two touching, and then cause chaos, and then there will be demons with weapons who have real names to drive them away, of course, will they be killed and dragged away- There is no doubt about this, John saw a little bad demon with a bone knife and saw the fight, and without saying a word, he rushed over and stabbed the demon with his back to it twice...... In a sense, this really stops the struggle, after all, everyone who fights with you has been hacked to death, and you can't fight by yourself.

"......" John looked at the little devil with a puzzled expression. It can be seen that it should be a subordinate of the city lord, and the bone knife in his hand is exactly the same as the two guards at the door, and there is also an epaulette made of animal skin on his arm, and there are some patterns on it, which looks like it should be the symbol of the city lord. It's just that it's really good to manage the town in this way?

Carmary was accustomed to it, and said: "This is the normal state of purgatory, only fighting and plundering, order or something, just because there is no strength to overthrow the superiors." John felt incredible: "In other words, who has the greatest power here, and who is the boss?" Except for the fire transmission world that has collapsed, whether it is the Source Continent or the Primordial Stone Road, this directly breaks John's impression that the management method is based on intelligence. "So this is purgatory, what do you think distinguishes between the upper demon clan and the lower demon clan and the demon nobles? Oh, speaking of nobles, your title is earl, whether you can go further depends on your own. As for the real name...... You still need to rely on your real name to gain the power of Purgatory, and your real name is a common weakness of all demons, so I don't think you like being controlled by having your real name. ”

Well, so be it. John could feel the runes wrapped around his body, which seemed to be the body's innate magic.

"Speaking of which, what I saw on the Primordial Continent, where it is said that the demons all have a demon core, and that is the source of the power of the demons, is there no one here?" John always felt that something was missing, thinking back to the description of the demons on the primordial continent, John said. Kamary seemed intrigued by the proposal, and Sky's big eyes narrowed, and she asked, "What's that?" ”

"The magic core is the source of a demon's power, in addition to physical power, other powers such as the use of magic are all achieved through the magic core, and the magic core is also the gathering place of the demon soul, so as long as you capture the demon core, you will get everything about it at the same time, including laws and knowledge. "That sounds good, okay, I'll ask Master An, and if she agrees, I'll add this to the laws of purgatory." The big eyes closed at John's words, and it seemed that he had gone to find Ann. John shrugged, now that he has been standing in this town for a short time, there are already some guards around him who are standing in the tents in the distance and looking over here, it can be seen that they have begun to doubt themselves, but because they are high-ranking demons, even if they don't know their own race, just looking at this body can make them tremble, so naturally they don't dare to come and interrogate.

Well, it looks like he can't stand here anymore, and John reckons that if he doesn't leave, these little cowards will be coming over—though I don't know if they'll be scared to pee their pants when they get close to him.

John no longer paid attention to these lower demons, and walked straight forward, and a child under the little devil who was standing in front of him with a bone knife took the knife in his hand and threw it out in fright, and then lay on the ground with his head in his hands, not daring to look at John at all. So in the end, these little demons can bully the inferior demons who don't have their real names in front of them, and they can't do anything in the face of the middle demons and the upper demons. Perhaps, the reason for their existence is to manage these large numbers of low-level demons.

Even when he entered the city, John found that he could not seem to do anything. In John's observations, there was already a preliminary trade phenomenon here, and there were also general equivalents, but unlike the Source Continent, there was no sufficiently developed metal smelting technology here, nor was there enough rich metal reserves and excavation technology to provide sufficient metal minerals for refining, so gold and silver were not used here as equivalents, but the ubiquitous Warcraft meat and skins were used as equivalents. Watching those demons argue over the goods in a stall and the stall owner over whether it was two or three monster meats.

Generally speaking, as long as you spend a few days in the wild, there is no shortage of meat strips and hides, of course, provided that you can safely bring these things to the town and not be robbed halfway - to be honest, there are many people who are robbed in the town, but since those who have the strength to protect their goods in the wild, they have mastered their real names and received the magic that has been rewarded from Catherine, and they still have some strength to ensure that they are not stolen by those at the bottom. The problem was that John didn't have any of these on him now, except for the griffon's eggs, only the obsidian greatsword on his back. And neither of these things can be traded. In other words, don't look at John now is not only a high-ranking demon or a purgatory earl, in fact, to put it bluntly, he is just a poor bastard.

After figuring it out, John turned around and walked directly out of town, let's prepare some Warcraft meat and Warcraft skins first, don't even have a place to sleep at night. Think about it, a nobleman living on the streets, what an interesting scene.

That's what sets John apart from the other creatures in Purgatory. If it's other Infernal Demons, if you don't have it, you just grab it, who can withstand your sword? Kill them directly, let alone where they live, don't they have everything their own? But John is different, although he can't do anything to rob if he needs to—in fact, in the past, because he was only a little soul able to strengthen the weapon in his hand, John also pointed the sword in his hand at the living corpse wailing on the side of the road—but isn't it the last moment? And John didn't think he had the time and strength to go out hunting than to rob the same thing in town.
