Sertovis.

Annan did not return for almost two months. As the birthplace of Middle-earth, the City of Innocence has a different affection for Annan.

The city also considers Annan to be half of its own. So Sertovis was at the same time the largest trading city in the Free City. Everything you buy and sell in Villefrancis is tax-free.

There was a curfew on the streets, but no guards dared to stop a Montreal family carriage. After coming out of the Salz Academy of Magic and Wizardry, Annan and Belludona rushed to the Black Gold Tavern.

Stopped on the side of the road, Annan and Beludona had not yet entered when two young men with pale complexions blocked them.

"This is vampire territory, monsters of the abyss, you are not welcome here."

Annan stared at the fangs that appeared at the corners of their lips: "I'm Annan." ”

One of the vampires scoffed: "I am Elizabeth X." ”

"Who is Elizabeth X?"

"Who is Annan?"

Annan took a deep breath: "King of the North, Champion Warlock, Uncrowned Champion Rat Hunter, Lord of the Floating City, Executioner of the Mad Dog Grand Duke: Annan Reeves. ”

The two vampires were silent for a moment.

"Wow."

"Forget it, let's check out the other taverns." Annan gave up dealing with these stupid vampires.

At this moment, a guest came out of the tavern, and the light shone on Annan's cheek.

"The queen is up, you're Jack!" A vampire suddenly screams. "Please come in! It is our pleasure to visit us! ”

Belludona was stunned, Annan was used to this kind of concederick and backward respect: "You just said that the abyss is not welcome here......"

"Of course you're not."

"I mean, there's no succubus here, is there?"

"Our vampire girl is more distressed than a succubus—"

Annan confessed, "We want to trouble the demons, do you know which tavern is their territory?" ”

"The Black Snake Tavern down the street ahead!" The vampire said excitedly, "Can you sign my name?" ”

"Where, of course?"

It bared two fangs: "On my teeth!" ”

Annan, who had nowhere to start, changed his name to write his name on the side of his face.

Annan said goodbye to two vampire fans and returned to the carriage.

"Jack?"

Beroudona found something new.

"You haven't seen a magical image yet? Don't forget to go to the theater when you go back. ”

Annan remembered that he could test the devil's reaction to the magical image through Beludona, and maybe even go to hell......

"We're all evil creatures, why don't you cooperate with them?"

"Vampires are too greedy."

It is enough for the succubus to have spirit, and at most it always asks for the prey to death...... But it's useless for vampires to want essence, they only want to suck blood, and essence is just a "by-product" of their pleasure in the process of ingesting blood.

The plaque at the Black Snake Tavern resembles a staff wrapped around a snake. As soon as he entered the tavern, Annan spotted a lilac-skinned succubus sitting by an oil lamp.

She had so little fabric on her body that the guests who couldn't afford to mess with her wandered their eyes over her. As for appearance...... You'd be hard-pressed to find a succubus with a lower human appearance.

The succubus was as slender as an elf, but Beludona said she was thin: she should be starved for a long time.

It doesn't seem too hard to convince her.

Annan and Belludona sat in front of the succubus, and she frowned: "A warlock, a devil...... Threesomes have to add money. ”

"We're looking for you for something else." Annan didn't like the gaze around him, took off his mage robe and draped it over the succubus, "How is your business here?" ”

The succubus turned his head and glanced at the mage robe on his shoulder: "Barely living." ”

"Will Sertovis officials get you in trouble?"

"Who are you?" There was some wariness in the succubus's seductive eyes.

"As you can see, a passing city lord and a devil."

“…… Yes, so I only come out at night. ”

Annan and Belludona looked at each other: "If there is such a place." Day or night, you can legally live there, do your own business, and buy whatever you want, at the cost of only properly absorbing the essence and handing over two-thirds of the reward...... Can you accept it? ”

The succubus looked at Annan and then at Bedudona and guessed something: "Two-thirds?" Too much......"

"I know handing over two-thirds of your income sounds like a lot, but what if you could get a one-third of your income instead?"

“…… I know you, Champion Warlock, right? I believe you. The succubus tugged up at the mage's robes and pointed at Bedudona, "But I don't believe her." ”

"We can make a devil's pact." Beludona said.

"The Devil's Contract?"

It seems that this succubus is a demon of the "hostile to the devil" type.

"I'll write my name too." Annan said.

The succubus was silent for a moment: "Is there really a place like that?" ”

"My Free City."

"Are you really going to work with demons?"

"Race doesn't mean anything. I have seen the noblest demons, and I have seen the most despicable human beings......"

"I promised."

The first succubus successfully joined under the charm of Annan.

"Do you know any other succubi?" Annan asked, but the succubus looked a little resistant: "Don't worry, I have a whole city, and you won't be a competitor." ”

The succubus named Namersis brought down two more succubi from the upper floor, and Annan repeated the old trick before they introduced the other succubi.

Under the gaze of many guests, Annan and they left the tavern.

If they had recognized Annan, tomorrow Sartovis would have told the story of Annan and the three succubi......

Annan spent the whole night visiting six or seven taverns. "You're about to kidnap all the succubi here." Coming out of the seventh tavern, Beludona said, "Won't they trouble you?" ”

Thinking of Srtovis's title as the "City of Innocence", Annan shook his head: "Maybe they have to thank us." ”

The words fell, and a jumble of horses' hooves could be heard in the depths of the streets on the eve of dawn.

A group of knights appeared in a carriage from the City Lord's Mansion.

Annan told the turbulent succubi not to be nervous and stop and look.

It was an official from the Lord's Palace, and Annan still had an impression of him, at the banquet - when his funny curly beard was stained with cream.

"The guards said they saw your carriage on Swan Street, and sure enough, it was you."

Annan smiled and said, "My city needs some...... They, I remembered that there were some succubi in the tavern of Sartovis. Will it bother you if I do this? ”

"Succubi are all destabilizing factors that break curfews and never pay taxes! Thank you so much for your willingness to tackle them for Slertovis! ”
