Chapter 405: The Secrets of the Inner City
"It's actually good to use the corpse for recycling, the inner and outer city walls were also made of white bones and souls, that's what is called spectacular, ordinary monsters don't even have the courage to connect close to the city wall, and outsiders don't dare to cause trouble here. One of the residents complained to him, a tall humanoid demon with huge horns and purple-red skin.
"That's right, the general demon is even frightened when he sees the city wall, how dare he do anything, after all, no one wants to be the next wall material. Carlos replied subconsciously, then turned around and saw the purple-skinned demon, and with an embarrassed expression, he shut up and didn't plan to continue.
"Don't worry, we residents of Bone Demon King City are not so careful, outsiders see us as madmen and barbarians, but that's just their misunderstanding and prejudice, differences in beliefs should be tolerated, at least we are very accepting to live under the protection of the Bone Demon King, and the souls of the residents will not be used to strengthen the walls, all the Bone Demon Lord needs is an insignificant skin. The humanoid demon explained that as a resident of the city, he was undoubtedly one of the most vocal.
"You're right, pride and prejudice exist everywhere, all we can do is not let ourselves be occupied by that emotion, even if it is the arrogant demon king, he is not extremely arrogant all the time, well, at least no one can see and hear his arrogance when he is not in front of people. Carlos gave an inappropriate example, which made him hastily change his tune.
"Pride and prejudice? You're right, the Bone Demon King's kindness can't be understood by those fools. The humanoid demon nodded, revealing an extremely fanatical expression.
Carlos looked at this scene and cursed in his heart: In fact, you are indeed quite arrogant......
Of course, these words must not be said directly, he does not have a deep relationship with this resident, he kept smiling on the surface and nodding constantly, and finally found a good time to speak: "This gentleman, you are right, oh no, I have an urgent matter here, and I need to go to the XX tavern in the outer city before three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
"What sir, you really don't have vision, I'm obviously a lady. The humanoid demon complained, Carlos looked at her flat figure wrapped in leather armor, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, the male demon's feet fluttered, and the female demon's eyes were blurred;
"I'm really sorry, ma'am, I didn't expect you to be in such a good shape, if I hadn't already had a family background, I would have launched the most enthusiastic offensive against you. "Carlos has long since practiced the magical ability to talk to people and tell ghosts, this kind of skill of opening his eyes and telling nonsense without changing his face is the standard configuration of the devils in the past, although the pure devil should no longer be seen now.
"Ah, you're so gracious, though I know that my beauty is incomparable, but such a blatant compliment does make me shy for a moment, and if I were a young girl, I might have agreed to your courtship. The humanoid demon covered his face and waved his hands, but the smile on his face could not be hidden.
Carlos took advantage of the fact that she was intoxicated by the praise of others, and he slipped away, joking, maybe he would not talk until dark, and he would not get any useful information, and he was not stupid.
Returning to the outer city, back to the hotel where he stayed, Carlos finally breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't like the atmosphere of the Bone Demon King City, where death is no longer the end of life, because the revenant also has the status of a citizen here, after all, not all demons are willing to try their luck in the demon sea that breeds countless demon worms to reincarnate and retrain, and there are not a few demon mages who take the initiative to turn themselves into undead in the Bone Demon King City, where undead spells are prevalent.
Of course, it is still relatively rare for demons to voluntarily become undead without sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing, and the demons' powerful bodies ensure that they have a long lifespan that is still young from birth to the destruction of a plane, strong strength, extremely fast speed and reflexes, defensive resistance to various attacks, and extremely strong recovery ability, which is much more advantageous than ordinary undead.
Although the most advanced undead creature can have all the functions of a living creature like a living creature, even reproducing offspring and growing physically, etc., not all necromancers can do this, not to mention that the highest pursuit of the undead is to be alive, and the demons themselves can always be alive, and being alive is particularly nourishing, so why become undead.
The reason why the demons who become undead are either their bodies completely destroyed and only their souls remain, or they have incurable curses on their bodies or the stigma left by angels that constantly burn the body and soul, and in order not to continue to be tortured, they have to transform their bodies into or even control the soul and body separately, but the above cases are very rare.
"The study of corpses and souls is almost unforbidden here, especially in the inner city, where there are countless undead laboratories, and there are often laboratory employees who come out to recruit demons to act as test subjects, or buy all kinds of corpses at high prices. Carlos shook his head helplessly, the first time he went to the inner city, he didn't take a closer look, but only took a cursory walk, and now he walked around carefully and found that it was really dangerous.
But fortunately, the laboratories are basically built in the inner city, even if there are really undead creatures who escape, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape to the inner city wall, let alone leave the inner city and go to the outer city, it must be a dead end if it is discovered by the guards, not to mention that so many laboratories are built in the inner city, the bone demon king will not know, if it really escapes, the high-risk experimental subjects who endanger the property of residents and the safety of demons are afraid that they will be instantly killed by the bone demon king.
"Later, after encountering some strange guys and killing them, if the corpse is made into a delicious dish, they will eat it, and if it is not delicious, they will sell it, I think those researchers are very interested in these strange corpses. Carlos thought that this was also a business opportunity, at least the researchers were generous.
Fortunately, those researchers are not allowed to force demons to participate in experiments due to various prohibitions, so Carlos doesn't have to worry about waking up one day and appearing in a white room, and he has been learning various spells recently, and the great branch of magic such as necromancy is naturally necessary to study it, not to become an expert in this school of magic, but to have a certain understanding, at least in the future, in case of this kind of enemy, he will not be confused.
