The Ufa Great Forest was not dead this winter. In this season of death, it glowed with a different kind of vitality. The rise of the Ke Tu Clan and the death of the Boar King had broken the balance. Unknowingly, the rumor that as long as one joined the Ufa Great Forest, they would have ample food and clothing spread like wildfire.
Many hungry and desperate demons came to the Great Forest to join the master of the forest. However, most of them were scattered in small groups and did not have a place to live. The Demon King placed them in a temporary camp, where the Dog-Headed Clan and the Centaur Clan would manage and train them.
They would become the first army of the Ufa Great Forest.
In the headquarters of the Ufa Great Forest, a huge chimney was emitting green smoke, and the sound of clanking could be heard from the house.
"Simple tools are fine, but rotary grinding and cutting tools … I can't do anything about them. Simple sandpaper can still be made."
A tall and thin blacksmith stood in front of the Demon King, his head slightly lowered as he spoke with an uneasy expression. He was wearing black suspenders, and behind him was a large burning furnace. Several human blacksmiths and mice were working together.
"That won't do. Gem processing requires precise tools, or the finished product will be of poor quality."
Myr frowned. The Demon King thought for a moment. He had thought that as long as he had blacksmiths, he would be able to produce the tools he needed. It seemed that there were still many things missing.
"So, you can't produce them?"
The Demon King asked.
"Yes, yes. At least, with the current conditions, there's no way."
The blacksmith replied weakly.
The gem processing was now in a difficult situation.
Myr looked at the Demon King. She did not know what decision he would make.
"Alright then. We can only spend money."
"Spend money?"
Myr was puzzled.
Then, they came to the office and happened to meet the Queen Mother who was yawning in boredom.
"Where are you going?"
She could not help but be puzzled when she saw the Demon King put away his horns and return to his terrifying human form.
"To buy some things."
The Demon King put on his clothes.
"I'm going too!"
Although she didn't know where to go, the Mother Empress felt that it would definitely be interesting, so she hurriedly said.
"Forget it. We're going to the human's territory. Your appearance will definitely scare the humans," the Demon King said.
Hearing this, Myr, who was sitting at the side, was shocked.
Human territory? He was going to a human city?
No! Us? Could it be that he wants to take me there?
Myr suddenly lost her composure. She had thought that it would be very difficult for her to get in touch with the people outside, but she had never thought that she might be able to meet them today.
While the queen was still making a ruckus, Myr asked meekly, "Master, do you want me to go as well?"
Hearing this, the Demon King turned around and looked at her strangely, saying, "Of course, I don't know what you need."
"Hehe! Don't ignore me! I want to go too! "
The Queen Mother grabbed the Demon King's collar and shook him as she spoke.
"Then you should at least wear some clothes and look like a human!"
The Demon King berated.
Myr didn't hear the conversation between the two, and she became nervous.
Perhaps she would have a chance to escape and ask the others for help.
Half an hour later
"I'll talk!! This should be fine, right? "
She wore a slender windbreaker and knee-high boots. Her hands were covered in leather gloves, and there was a small living white mink around her neck. She also wore a large black hat. The Queen Mother's entire body was wrapped up in clothes, only revealing her milk-white face.
The Demon King sighed, saying, "I'm not going to play. Why do you have to come along?"
The Queen Mother frowned and said with her hands on her hips, "Isn't it because you're too bored here? If you don't take me, I might get too bored and go into the forest to find something to kill."
Hearing this, the Demon King shook his head. Although this special creature was a powerful ally, the problem was that contract magic didn't have the effect it should have. It could actually resist its master. This was the first time he had seen it.
"Forget it, let's go. Just don't cause trouble for me."
"Hehe, that's more like it!"
The Queen Mother giggled, and then the Demon King turned around and looked at the nervous Myr. The Demon King knew exactly what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything.
"Let's go. Come here."
"Ah? Yes! "
Myr came back to her senses and jogged behind the Demon King. Suddenly, the Demon King snapped his fingers, and the wall in front of them immediately opened up, revealing a large mirror. The mirror emitted a ray of light that enveloped the three of them.
When the light disappeared, Myr found herself in a completely unfamiliar place. This was another room, and there was a mirror behind them. In front of them was a table, and a man in formal clothes was lying on the table, snoring loudly.
The Demon King came to the table, and suddenly the man felt something and stopped snoring.
"Akas, it's time to get up and work."
The Demon King said coldly.
The man called Akas immediately opened his eyes and stood up in a panic. He wiped his mouth and said, "Master! Master! Why are you here? "
This Akas was the one who was replaced by Mikeji after he was killed by the killer Liuliu. He could enter the body of a dead person and pry into their memories, so it was very difficult to discover that this Akas was a fake.
At this moment, Myr covered her mouth in shock.
Akas? That Akas, the Deer Head Duke?! He was actually this demon's subordinate?
Suddenly, a sense of fear filled her heart. She felt that the world she knew was just the bottom of a well. She didn't know how many of the people she had met before were the subordinates of the demon race.
"It's nothing. I just came to buy some things. Have you done what I asked you to do?"
"He, he's doing it. It's almost done."
Akas said weakly. He didn't dare to sit down, and could only stand while nodding and bowing. He glanced at Myr, thinking that it was fine if that dangerous guy was here, but why was there a human beside his master?
"Oh right, give me some money."
The Demon King suddenly said.
"Eh?"
Akas was stunned, as if he didn't understand.
Holding a bag of gold coins, the three of them left the ancient castle.
"Seriously, it's dirty and smelly. What the hell is this place?"
The Queen Mother complained. The three of them came to a street. There was a lot of traffic here, but the road was full of potholes, snow and ice, making it very slippery. The people who came and went were all wrapped up tightly, almost only revealing their eyes. Everyone was mysterious and sneaky.
However, this was indeed the largest trading place in the western region. It was backed by the sea, and due to the terrain, if the neighboring countries wanted to go south to the Dragon Boat Empire or the Luyas Empire, they had to pass through this place. Therefore, the merchants here came from all over the world, and their goods were naturally very diverse.
However, it wasn't just a mix.
The manager here, Akas, didn't impose strict restrictions on the goods in circulation. As long as you paid the taxes, no matter what the goods were, they could enter.
Therefore, this was a place where merchants couldn't go. Some goods that couldn't be put on the table would be traded here, and the trading place was the famous Stonggu City.
