Chapter Seventy-Six: The Devil and the Demon King

What Hu Bin did in the study was very simple, he wrote a letter and asked Su Jia to come over and help manage the mercenary city. In the same study, Marshal Muhai Yiboye, who had occupied the place by virtue of his own identity, came over, and after seeing the contents of the letter, he restrained all his expressions. After seeing Hu Bin send the letter with his own eyes, the marshal immediately bid farewell to Hu Bin and fled away from this place of right and wrong.

Hu Bin looked at the distant marshal in a daze, and sighed that the relationship between the father and daughter was really good.

"Honey, missed me." Su Jia, who had arrived in a hurry, shouted loudly as soon as she entered the castle hall, and then found that the hall was full of people.

"Wow, what a beauty!" This is the normal type numberer.

"You're talking about me, I hate it." This is the narcissistic pervert numberer.

"Hehehe, bow down to the charm of this demon king and become my wings." This is the middle two numberer.

"Burn the heterosexual." This is a member of the FFF regiment.

"Who are you looking for?" This is Kane.

"Huh? Ay~~. Su Jia suddenly found that her castle seemed to be occupied, as if a small animal had been invaded on its territory.

Chewing snacks with a puff of breath, Su Jia had just learned from Hu Bin in the study about the embarrassment he was facing, and then patted his chest and told Hu Bin that this matter should be handed over to her, the hostess.

Hu Bin unceremoniously snatched Su Jia's bag of snacks, not knowing where Su Jia had picked up these things, but he could finally relax a little and no longer have to face this group of numbered people in person.

Two days later, the Sultan of Hakim was finally able to dispose of the captured numberers, and if a ransom of at least 3,000 dinars per person was paid, all the lords who participated in the battle would receive a bulging red envelope

"It's time to go and see how Reed is doing, leaving so many captives with him is really giving him a lot of trouble." The Sultan arrives in the dungeon with some apologies and learns that Hu Bin has moved his place of work to a room in an inn in the city.

Hu Bin, who was busy dealing with territorial affairs, entered the castle together, ready to discuss the ransom with the numberers of Swadia.

"I can finally get rid of them, to be honest, without Su Jia to help me, it's really a bit unbearable." Hu Bin said with some fear.

"Thankfully, after all, there were more important things to deal with than the issue of prisoners." Hakim Sultan comforted him, and then pushed open the castle gate as the doorman saluted.

"Yes, the replenishment of troops, the cashing of the captures, and..." Hu Bin couldn't say any more, and the scene in front of him was beyond his expectations.

"Lord Reed, welcome back." This is a uniform greeting from the ordinary numberer.

"Woo, I'm just an ordinary person, let me go, I'm going home." Are Type 2 patients willing to be treated?

"This king is a man who is destined to bloom, so I will accept your chrysanthemums." This is a narcissistic pervert who has recently contracted secondary two disease.

"After the teachings of Archbishop Su Jia, I and other members of the FFF Order believe that the true love in the world lies in the foundation." Their condition seems to be getting worse.

"I'm here to talk about ransom." Kane smiled and greeted his lieutenant. The short-haired, glasses-wearing adjutant changed her clothes, and Hu Bin realized that she was actually a female numberer.

"Honey, you're done!" Su Jia rushed out of the lord's study like a gust of wind, and Hu Bin found that half of the numbered people subconsciously shrank back, and couldn't help but wonder what Su Jia had done in the past few days to make these numberers a lot more honest.

"Not yet, Sultan Hakim needs to settle the problem of the prisoners, and if nothing else, he can send them away today." Hu Bin pointed to the numbered people around him, and felt that the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be different.

Then there was a cheer, and the numberers of Swadia couldn't wait to get out of here.

The interrogation office was set up in the dungeon, where the numbered people in the hall would be freed by self-redemption, because Svadia and Salander were still at war, so they could not be released immediately, and they could only be sent back after everyone had been interrogated.

"What the hell have happened to you these days?" Hu Bin found an opportunity to ask Kane secretly.

"Nothing happened." Kane said categorically, but Hu Bin still felt a hint of palpitation in his tone.

"I seem to be missing something." Looking at the Svadia numberers who had fled away from Mercenary City, Hu Bin muttered.

"It's hard to see so many numbered people, it's so lively to be with them, but it's a pity that the time is too short." Su Jia stood beside Hu Bin and smiled very innocently.

"I did miss something."

······

I don't know when it began, there is a rumor circulating among the numberers of the warband world that Lord Reed, the strongest numbered person known as a monster, has a devil sealed in his hand. Whenever Lord Reed's seal weakens, the devil will unseal it. This devil has an angelic face, but he takes pleasure in torturing the souls of the numbered, and must be careful to watch out for the terrible devil when he encounters Lord Reed again. And Lord Reed, who can command the devil, also has a new title in the circle of numberers: the Demon King.

······

In August, the situation on the continent stabilized again, and the establishment of the Holy Alliance made the countries feel a sense of deterrence, so that they did not dare to go to war with other countries. In the end, the Swadia Kingdom chose to give in and took the initiative to negotiate peace with the Holy Alliance, and in view of the Alliance's ability to launch an attack, after receiving a reparation, the three parties signed an armistice...... The development of Mercenary City has completely surpassed that of Muradine City and has become the main source of Hu Bin's economy. In fact, he still has plans to transform another village into a port, but the first plan requires Hu Bin to come up with a large amount of money, and the second hope port still has a lot of space for construction, which can fully support ocean trade and does not need to be diverted.

Today, another ocean-going trade ship was completed and launched, and Hu Bin has finally completed the current stage of the territorial development plan, and for a long time in the future, the territory does not need him to worry too much.

"I really want to go out and play! Last time you left me to play on my own. Su Jia has become more and more sticky to Hu Bin recently, but fortunately, Hu Bin also intends to compensate her, and everything is according to her temperament.

"Go out and hunt, hunt, or something? Anyway, I really wanted to get a copper plate from the secret shop. Hu Bin suddenly remembered that he still had something that looked like a mission item in his hand, and he didn't have a clue about it, and thought that the only adventurer he was familiar with was Howard's wife Scissors. Hu Bin, who did not catch up with this war because of the problem of troops, also wanted to go out for a walk, his luck has always been good, and there may be other gains.

Hu Bin's first stop was in Viruga, and the traces of war everywhere in the city did not affect the enthusiasm of the merchants, but because of the blockade of the trade routes some time ago, the recent Viruga became more lively. As September approached, many merchants began to dump their goods to prepare funds for the harvest season, and Hu Bin was well aware of these things, because his steward Gerdan was doing the same.

Hu Bin meets Howard and his gang at the Tavern, where the Viruga City Tavern Inn has become a stronghold for the Rhodoc Numberers, as there are always tasks to be done.

"Well, I don't know what this thing is, but the handwriting is familiar. Maybe you should ask the scholars, there is one in the city of Viruga, and there is always some strange cargo here. "Mrs. Chris, the former adventurer scissors playing with the copper plate, she knows the market quite well, and she gave Hu Bin a suggestion.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Hu Bin said helplessly that his Lorraine is not a professional scholar after all, and it is inevitable that he will have to spend a lot of money in this regard to satisfy the appetite of that scholar.
