Before nightfall, the strong men who looked like bodyguards had already set up their tents. Because they were traveling in the desert, they could only eat the dry food carried in the trucks. The boss of the caravan claimed to be a member of the Easter family and wanted to ask about the "demonic movement" that Xu Jun had mentioned before. Xu Jun talked to him casually and asked about the current situation in the Wilderness City.
The exit to the southwest of the Snow Blade Kingdom was Rum County, but that did not mean that outside Rum County was not the territory of the Snow Blade Kingdom. From the Snow Blade Kingdom to the east, the vast expanse of desert and desert had always been the battlefield between demons and humans. Today, the humans — that is, the Snow Blade Kingdom — had the upper hand, so they would plan the territory they had just won, build military camps and even villages. Tomorrow, when the demons attacked again, it would lead to a fierce battle, and the specific ownership of the land would have to be redefined. For example, going south from the Snow Blade Kingdom, there was Manke City and Whitehorse Manor, which Xu Jun had passed through before. Whether it was Manke City or Whitehorse Manor, there was the shadow of the Snow Blade Kingdom behind them. Manke City used to be a city of the Snow Blade Kingdom, but later, the demons suddenly emerged and the Snow Blade Kingdom retreated. The mayor of Manke City took the opportunity to redeem the city and make it a free city.
The Wilderness City was somewhat similar to Manke City in that it was also redeemed by the mayor. It was very strange that a mayor conferred by an emperor or king could spend money to buy a city, but it was very normal in this world. There were many places in "The Divine Land" that borrowed from ancient European history and myths and legends, and then exaggerated them to form its own worldview.
Whether it was the Wilderness City or Manke City, they both seemed to be semi-independent. They seemed to be independent of the Snow Blade Kingdom. After all, the Snow Blade Kingdom had bought them. But in reality, they had to use Snow Blade's tiger skin as a flag. In this desert, there were demons, beastmen, and some elves living in the South. None of them were easy to deal with. If it was really a free city without any foundation, it would probably be destroyed in less than three days.
The difference between the Wasteland City and Mansi City was that Mansi City was more orderly, very similar to the cities in the Snow Blade Kingdom. On the other hand, the Wasteland City, as its name suggested, had all kinds of people and races in it. Manes City was directly connected to the Whiterun Manor, which was equivalent to being connected to a military fortress. It was relatively safe inside, but it was also relatively restricted. To a certain extent, it was under the management of the King of the Snow Blade Kingdom. On the other hand, Wasteland City was more unruly. The forces of the major families in the city were constantly fighting and had some dirty dealings with some of the great nobles in the Snow Blade Kingdom. Even the King of the Snow Blade Kingdom could not manage this place.
Although the middle-aged merchant looked pale and wretched, with slightly swollen eyelids and a beer belly, he was quite knowledgeable. Xu Jun told him the truth and showed him his knight badge. As a hero of his level, almost all countries and regions had awarded him badges of various sizes. The middle-aged merchant immediately believed him.
Xu Jun put on a greedy look at the right time, deliberately making the merchant look down on him. "Boss, you can make a lot of money on this trip, right?"
As he spoke, he signaled with his eyes to the Lesser Sand Leopard boy sitting alone on the other side. The middle-aged merchant immediately understood. "Sir Knight, you don't know the current market. In fact, we can't make a lot of money."
Xu Jun shook his head. "Don't say that. Since the demons appeared, many merchants dare not take this route to the South to catch Sand Leopards. You can make more money. If you ask me, although the Demon King is a bastard, he has made a lot of money for us. "
The Demon King Roschinke, who wanted to be a quiet and handsome man, said, "… Hey."
Xu Jun hurriedly comforted him. "Your Highness Prince Leon, in fact, I didn't mean to say that your boyfriend — no, the Demon King is a bastard. It's just a saying! Please don't take it to heart! "
Roshyank The Devil said coldly, "But you have to explain to me first. You said that the Demon King is my boyfriend. What's going on?"
He felt that he had already violated his nature as a Demon King by enduring this question until now. Even he himself was surprised. Back when he was still a devout believer of the Illuminati, he didn't follow the Pope's call to be a vegetarian! He still remembered that his friend, the Holy Son of Light, was beaten up by him for persuading him to be a vegetarian!
He was furious and wanted the Hero Xu Jun to say something soft and take back the slander about his relationship with the Demon King. This slander shouldn't exist in the first place! Prince Leon was the reincarnation of the Demon King, and later became the Demon King. He was a person! How the hell could a person fall in love with him?!
But! Maybe it was because he was too successful at the beginning, Xu Jun was completely unable to feel any hostility towards the soul in his body. He also ignored the other party's anger. He listened to the merchant's words and replied perfunctorily in his heart, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Oh, Prince Leon, you are so arrogant."
— — What arrogant!!!
Roshyank The Devil repeated ten times in his heart, "This Hero's body is mine. I can't hurt him." Only then did he finally calm down.
Ah, my heart didn't fluctuate at all. I even wanted to laugh → _ →
The merchant and Xu Jun were still chatting. The bodyguards saw that they were talking and laughing without any abnormalities, so they didn't take it seriously and ate their own bread and dried meat. They thought that Xu Jun was the most ordinary knight, slick and a little greedy. In essence, he was no different from an ordinary citizen. But because he was a knight, he liked to raise his own status. Knights, especially those stationed in small border towns, were not civilians, but they were not nobles either. Their status and strength were very awkward. Xu Jun had seen many such knights in the game, or he had seen many different kinds of people. It was easier for him to imitate these people.
The middle-aged merchant sighed, "Brother Knight, you are an intermediate knight. Even if you are short of money, how short can you be? You don't understand the hardships of us ordinary people! "
Xu Jun thought to himself, You are a poor little commoner, so you ran to kidnap other people's children. Of course I don't understand this! But he continued to say, "Short of money! How can I not be short of money! I fight demons every day, and I don't have money to repair my broken equipment! Oh! "
The merchant patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "Brother, you are knights … It's not like you don't have time. Do you want to do a part-time job …?"
Xu Jun pretended not to understand, "What can I do?"
The merchant whispered, "Brother, what do you think of my business?"
Xu Jun chuckled. "Abducting orcs?"
The merchant's expression was ambiguous. His pale face looked gloomier under the light of the bonfire, "Orcs … especially children, are easy to sell these days …"
Their voices were not low, and they didn't deliberately guard against each other. The bodyguards next to them just laughed, poked each other, and said some dirty words. Of course, the Sand Leopards child also heard it. He was very arrogant. Even if he was poked, he would take a long time. He was a typical naughty child. But now, he was so scared that he hugged himself tightly and buried his head between his knees. It seemed that he was crying.
"Oh, so pitiful." Xu Jun commented indifferently in his heart. At the same time, the soul of the "righteous" Prince Leon questioned him, "Are you going to wallow in the mire with these people?"
Xu Jun was happy that his prank had finally been accepted by someone. "Of course not! Do I look like such a person?! "
The Demon King thought to himself, You ransacked my treasury and still remember the dark history of my underwear. Why don't you look like such a person?!
Xu Jun shook his head in his heart, thinking that although Prince Leon was very righteous and had a lot of stories, he was still naive! He said earnestly, "Prince Leon, brother Leon, this merchant is from the Easter family. The Easter family is very powerful in the Wasteland City! I remember that at the end of the year, the patriarch of their family wanted to run for the next mayor! Say, at this time, if a big news like 'The Easter Family Abducts Orcs!' is released, how much money do you think the current mayor will give me? "
However, when Prince Leon's version of Roshyank The Devil heard this, he finally lost all hope in humanity.
Note: The adjective "naive" in the text means naive and childish. It is often used on the Internet. For example, "so-and-so is still too naive →

When writing Xu Jun, I couldn't help but recall the protagonist of Demon King 1, Xu Lei. Then I felt that Junjun the Brave was much stronger than Xu Lei!
When Xu Lei went down the mountain, he only picked a few herbs and sold them for a gold coin.
If our Junjun went down the mountain, he could sell the whole mountain bare!
I didn't expect you to be such a brave person! For the latest chapters, please follow the Starry Sky Novel Network (www.aixswx.com)
