Section 197
"Never trust succubi, they're just a bunch of succubi who succumb to their desires." Before going back to hell, Berudona warned Annan.
"Are there exceptions?"
"No...... At least I haven't heard of it. โ
"Where's the Succubus Queen?"
"Especially the Succubus Queen."
Beludona said that even if the devil's prejudice against demons is removed, demons are still a group of evil species that only have instincts and only please themselves.
"I know a succubus named Catherine, and she's not quite like other succubiโ" Annan shut, as he remembered that even Catherine had almost drained herself...... If the dean hadn't arrived.
Beludona didn't ask, and said something else: "I'm going to introduce two of my men to you......"
Beludona tells the story of Frigga and Alaina, who took refuge in her.
Compared with the two apprentice devils, Annan was more interested in the succubus resources in their hands, and by the way, Annan remembered one thing: "The performance of the succubi is good, but those three desire demons ...... They're reluctant to pick up customers, do you have any clue? โ
"What's the cause?"
"Ingrid saidโ" Annan first showed his integrity, "the demons became reluctant to take customers, and always ran to the streets to enjoy the beach or the sunrise or the sunset, and some of them bought real estate in Liberty City......"
It doesn't sound like a problem, but the problem is that they're abyssal creatures, and they're not succubi.
"Lust Demons are the descendants of fallen celestial creatures and a few powerful Lust Demons...... They don't have the greed and insatiability of succubi, and as members of the order, they will maintain order on their own initiative while pursuing what they like......"
Beludona described the Lust as if it were a law-abiding resident, and Annan asked her to repeat it from a human perspective, before Beludona said, "The Lust Demon is not as good as the Succubus...... Hungry for food, they prefer powerful or self-interested targets. โ
"If you think they're lazy, I can discipline them."
Frankly speaking, the current Berudona is only at the same level as the Desire Demon...... But the contract would allow her to suppress the demons.
"No, if they want to be good...... I mean I'm willing to live in peace, and I'm willing to do that. โ
It can even appear on "The Voice of Freedom" as a merit!
Sending Beludona back to hell, Annan also returned to the Lord's Mansion - and then saw Ingrid standing on the steps.
Like a brave man who broke into the devil's den and wanted to avoid fighting the monster, Annan tried to bypass Ingrid, but Ingrid stuck to her like a bone gangrene: "You should take a look at this." โ
Annan just caught a glimpse of the dense text and covered his forehead: "Alice predicts that I should not look at government affairs today......"
"Then I'll read it to you. There was war on the Pule Peninsula, and dozens of islands were caught up in the war, including the 'Lady Oroke's Sweet Home'......"
"So Lady Ollock is actually here to take refuge with us?"
"I should say ask for help." Ingrid pulled out a second piece of paper, "She has spent hundreds of gold coins in Liberty City in various ways in the past few days, and she also sent high-purity gold ore worth 1,800 gold coins to the City Lord's Mansion. โ
Annan thought thoughtfully: "Do we know the family behind her or her friends?" โ
"Nope."
"Then why did she come to us?"
"Don't you know yet? Our covenant with Giraldi has been spread. Because we helped Giraldi, who had nothing, many heirs, lords, and monarchs of small countries who were also unjustly accused wanted us to lend a hand......"
"Hmm...... Is it a lot? โ
Annan didn't know that Liberty City had been known to so many people unknowingly.
"Very much ......"
Civil strife, war, war......
Fill every inch of land beyond Wilhelm.
This is the norm in the Allen Continent.
Those who possess supernatural powers...... It's hard to expect them to stay there. The real situation is that they are willing to give their lives and the lives of others for the sake of status, for their desires, for the sake of wealth and women.
Annan hated war, both with the nezumi demons and within the human ...... But war, war has never changed.
From the battle of the races in Wilhelm to the Golden Family's exploration of the continent of Allen, war has run through the history of civilizations of all intelligent life.
Humans and elves, elves and dwarves, dwarves and orcs, orcs and humans, and then they fight each other, and even the dragons who seem to be united fight with the dragons.
This is what Ingrid did not tell Annan. She, Olmedo, and Itilia wanted Annan to be aware of this.
Freetown can't help everyone, not even the people of the Duchy...... At the beginning, the Mad Dog Grand Duke only brought two waves of refugees to nearly collapse Liberty City.
But Annan's tangled look still made Ingrid interrupt him unbearably: "Do you want to take a look at her conversation with Master Olmedo?" โ
"She's having a showdown?" Annan came back to his senses from his contemplation.
"Lord Olmedo took the initiative to pierce it."
Ingrid handed over another piece of paper, and this time Annan took it and read it.
The paper records a conversation between Olmedo and Mrs. Ollocke: after Olmedo questioned Mrs. Ollocke, she confessed that her "sweet family" was under threat and wanted to seek help from Liberty City.
Olme excused himself and inquired about the fifty-nine boysโand Annan was curious about that. Lady Ollock sobbed, "I just love each of them equally. โ
And everyone who comes next in the future.
Eventually, Mrs. Olaur promised to divide the gold mine in half of the mines if Freecity lent a helping hand...... With hundreds of thousands of pounds of gold in stock, Freecity could make a profit of at least 100,000 gold coins......
"Tell Lady Ollock that Liberty City is willing to accept her and her ...... Male pets, but we won't let the people of Liberty City pay with their lives for this. โ
"If she wants to return those 'donations'......" Annam covered her ears in pain, "I'll leave it to Olmedo to deal with!" โ
For the next period of time, Annan secretly observed the movements of Madame Oloch.
The good news is that Madame Ollock hasn't returned the contributions, and the bad news is that she hasn't given up yet.
The next few days were as calm as the leaves of the World Tree, and June and the rainy season were just around the corner.
On the first day of June, an unexpected surprise befell Annan, who woke up from his dream and was still not beaten.
Annan's sowing always reaps the fruit:
His efforts have resulted in a sweet Territory Fruit, his magical image has resulted in a juicy Fruit of Wealth, and his development has received a ...... Sour mad dog fruit.
He accepted refugees and turned Liberty City into a small city-state with a population of 40,000. He allowed the howlers and ogres to find the tribe and brought a tribe of orcs with him. There are also New Year's gifts......
Early that morning, a barefoot nun came outside Liberty City.
