Verse 173.The Devil and the Devil's Visit

A scarlet demonic eye hangs high in the night sky.

The demonic eye, which exuded a strong aura, illuminated the surrounding clouds, and the entire sky was filled with an eerie and evil scarlet.

This living demonic eye searched for something in the city crossed by red light, and at one point, it suddenly stared at the bedroom window of the City Lord's Mansionβ€”

Annan woke up in bed.

There are no giant scarlet eyes outside the window, only a quiet city lurking beneath the silver moon.

But the horror and reality of that dream still haunted Annan...... A voice told him that the dream was not just a dream. It was a warning to him from some mysterious force, some harbinger of impending disaster......

Snoring –

Annan looked up and saw Lily lying in her arms, snoring.

Looking at the sleeping Lily, Annan became relieved and fell into a deep sleep again......

A scarlet demonic eye hangs high in the night sky.

The demonic eye, which exudes a strong aura, illuminates the surrounding clouds, and the entire sky is filled with an eerie and evil scarlet......

The demonic eye, which seemed to be alive, was not searching, staring at Annan in front of the window, it seemed to be closer than the previous dream......

It's as if an unknown catastrophe is looming.

Annan woke up from his dream again. It seems that some time has passed, and Lily is gone.

Dreaming of the Devil's Eye twice in a row is obviously not a coincidence...... Himself targeted by the Demon Lord?

Annan activated the amulet: "Help me, Mr. Schvaro. ”

Mr. Svarro, who appeared in pajamas and nightcaps, looked at Annan, who was sitting on the bed in disheveled clothes, and as soon as he showed disgust, Annan said, "I dreamed of the demon king. ”

Mr. Shvarro's expression became serious, and he grasped the staff that appeared in the void and unleashed a high-level probe.

"You feel like you're being targeted by it?"

"Twice, the Demon's Eye found me the first time, and came closer to me the second."

"The devil's malice will be obvious, but I can't find anything...... Tell me when it appears for the third time. ”

Annan watched as Mr. Evaro went back to sleep, but he was no longer sleepy.

Putting on a mage robe, Annan lay in front of the window.

The cold moonlight shone on the streets. Civilians who hadn't slept yet sat under the streetlights and talked.

The war is over, and a lot of them will leave. Liberty City is beautiful, but it's not as good as home.

On the surface, there is no shortage of jobs in Villefranche, but in fact all the work is brought about by the expansion. After the mage tower, the harbor, the houses, and the walls are built, and the Liberty City can hold everyone, they will be embarrassed to find that there is no work in the city that they can do.

Magical images can't provide jobs, and the newspaper office is crammed with dozens of workers at most.

Only the spinning mills provided a few hundred women's jobs, and the future port would be about the same number, with lumberjacks and quarries and farmers, all of which add up to a few thousand people to work for.

And now Liberty City is loaded with tens of thousands of people.

There is no salary without work, there is no consumption without salary, there is no way to make money circulate without consumption, money no longer circulates, the tax revenue of the city is reduced, there is no way to maintain infrastructure -

It's just that the problems of Liberty City are covered up by Annan, who has earned tens of thousands of gold coins back.

Annan realized why Olmedo thought there was too much population now. The nascent Liberty City could not support more than 30,000 people.

The City Lord's Mansion needs more work!

Annan thought for a while and then didn't want to. He has to do everything himself, the city lord, and the deputy city lord does it, why do you!

Olmedo was the Lord of Breeze City, and Editilia also managed the Ausulon Territory, and they knew better than they did......

A sudden smell of sulfur came from Annan's arms, and he was stunned as he took out the hot parchment rolls.

The silhouette of the succubus was burning, revealing the face of Bedroudona.

"Did I disturb your rest?"

"Uh...... I don't need to. Annan said in a panic.

Beludona said nonchalantly, "I just wanted to tell you that I'm the devil now." ”

"Was you a demon before?"

"I mean, I took off the apprenticeship."

"Oh...... Congratulations. ”

"So, as a human who helped me, what can I do for you?"

Annan was about to refuse, when an exclamation came from outside the window.

Looking out the window, several soldiers were chasing a shadow running on the rooftops of the street...... Don't know if it's a ranger or a thief? Certainly not warriors and mages. The former will step on a hole in the roof, the latter will not do such a thing.

Professionals need to vent their exuberant energy. Wine, cards, magic images...... But it's not enough......

"Annan?"

Annan woke up from his contemplation: "I remember you were a ...... 'salesman', right? ”

"What do you want? Pure? Charm? Petite or plump. ”

"Abundance...... You know, I have a city...... Lately, the professionals here have been getting me in trouble......"

"Killing commission? I haven't done anything like this yet, but I can give it a try......"

"I mean, a full nightlife should make them a lot more honest."

Beludona understood what Annan meant: "You want me to 'sell' in your city? ”

"It should be said that it is cooperation."

Annan briefly described his vision: allowing some demons who could do it for both women and men to solicit business in the tavern.

"How much do you take from each business?"

"Half."

"Then we'll divide it into three, one for you, one for me, and one for them."

"I'm fine."

As a budget-conscious devil, Beludona knew that it looked like she was making a small amount of money...... But she doesn't have many clients, and she only needs to work with the city of Annan......

"I need to change into thatβ€”" Beludona's attitude was palpable with enthusiasm.

"Don't! I'll go to Evelyn's tavern first and ask, do you want to come with me? ”

"We're not demons, it's hard to go to the main plane......"

"I have a way to get you over...... I can't send you back, though. ”

"It's okay, I'll be able to come back on my own!" Beludona said expectantly.

Annan used Beludona's medium as a medium to unleash a low-level summoning technique.

The parchment scroll was dim, and the teleportation array saw the figure of Bedudona.

"Do you need me to become human?" Standing on the dissipating teleportation array, Berudona, who maintained demonic characteristics such as sheep horns and horizontal pupils, asked.

"Noβ€”"

Bang –

The door was opened, and the devil's breath alarmed Dela. Annan introduced: "You've seen it, Bedudona. ”

"A Dark Elf guard?" Beludona stared at Dela, remembering that the Dark Elves were known for their betrayal, cruelty, and greed......

"I made a deal with the devil, so it's normal to have a dark elf guard, right?"

Oh, almost forgot he was a warlock.
