Ah Bi walked over with a plate, but because he was too excited, the two cups on the plate kept shaking.
"Master, please have some tea."
He tried his best to stop his hands from shaking and placed the cup in front of the Demon King. Myr looked nervous as she pinched the corner of her clothes.
"Have you made a finished product?"
The Demon King picked up a ruby pendant on the workbench and looked at it. It was only a half-finished product.
"Y-Yes, one has been made."
Myr stuttered a little.
"Just one?"
The Demon King frowned slightly, and Myr immediately looked embarrassed. She lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.
But at this moment, Ah Bi took out a small wooden box and handed it to the Demon King with a slight bow.
This was beyond the Demon King's expectations. He thought that there would be at least three or four finished products in a month.
But now there was only one.
He didn't know that the other party had listened to what he said at the time and wanted to make the most perfect jewelry in the world.
When the Demon King opened the box, a brilliant light suddenly shone. It was a pair of sapphire earrings. The outer ring was decorated with small crystals and some pink color. If it had to be described, it was like a young girl in a bud, quietly lying in a lotus flower.
This thing was worth a lot of money!
Even the Demon King could see it. He slowly revealed a joyful smile.
"Not bad! Not bad!! Very good! Hahaha! "
The Demon King laughed heartily. Myr was both surprised and happy. She looked at Abby happily, and Abby looked at her with the same excitement.
But just as the two were happy, the Demon King's voice came, "Hurry up and prepare to leave tomorrow."
Hearing this, Myr was stunned.
"Leave? Excuse me, where are we going? "
The Demon King put the pair of earrings in the box, then stood up with it and looked at Myr, "To do business."
…
In the sky, there was a strange carriage moving through the air. A winged pegasus was dragging a flying carriage, quickly flying over the top of the forest. The setting sun was like a bored person, leaning on the side of the mountain and watching it.
Ray Phoenix's round glasses reflected the light outside the window. She sat in the carriage and looked at the castle in the distance without saying a word.
That was the infamous ancient city of Stone, a lawless place for merchants. Even if the Adventurer's Guild intervened, they had no right to interfere. Lehr disliked this place very much.
However, this was a personal order from the guild leader, An Mihu. There was nothing he could do about it.
"Sigh … Why do I always get this kind of assignment?"
Lorraine sighed and said.
"That proves that Young Miss is highly valued by the president. That's why he gave you such an important task."
The person who spoke was a grey-haired old man sitting in front of Leila. He was dressed in formal attire and looked like a gentleman. He was the butler and bodyguard of the Phoenix family. His name was Grano. He didn't belong to the Adventurer's Guild, but he was powerful and had made many contributions with Lehr. Thus, the Adventurer's Guild gave him the title of Dark Adventurer and exempted him from the obligations of an adventurer.
The speeding carriage landed on the ground with two rumbles and arrived in front of the city gate of Stone. There were more guards here than in half of the cities. After all, there were many merchants coming and going and there were often long lines.
Unfortunately, the line was especially long today. It was like a long centipede, and the speeding carriage arrived at the back. Unfortunately, Lehr couldn't use the Adventurer's Guild's number one position to obtain priority in Stone City.
The Liska Empire in the east was a small country that hated the Adventurer's Guild. The Adventurer's Guild didn't have much influence here. Furthermore, Count Arcath was a cruel ruler. He wouldn't let the Adventurer's Guild do anything to his territory.
Therefore, this mission would definitely be obstructed in every possible way, and Layle was mentally prepared for it. However, this was also good. If they found out that Arcath was related to the shapeshifters, then she could bypass the empire and forcefully enforce the agreement between the Adventurer's Guild and the four empires — the Holy Decapitation Law.
If there was actual evidence that a country had betrayed the humans and colluded with the demons, then the Adventurer's Guild had the right to arrest or destroy them. If Arcath died, then there was no harm to the Adventurer's Guild. They could even expand their influence and take control of Stone City.
After all, almost 70% of the contraband that the adventurers investigated had come to Stone City. Who knew how many criminals were hiding here.
"Miss, have a cup of tea. We'll probably have to wait for a long time."
Just as Lehr was thinking, Grano, who had just gone out to check on the situation, returned to the carriage.
"How long will it take?"
Lehr asked.
"About two hours. The caravan ahead is too long."
Grano replied.
Lehr pushed up her glasses and said, "No, it's almost dark. We have to enter the city as soon as possible and find a place to stay. We have to start the investigation tomorrow."
She lifted her skirt and got off the carriage.
The road here was very dirty. It was full of wheel marks, and the snow was dyed the color of the mud. Lehr walked to the side of the road and stretched her neck to look at the city gate from behind the long caravan.
It was a winding caravan. She realized that all the caravans were the same. It was very likely that they were from the same caravan.
Lehr felt that she couldn't wait any longer. She walked to the front of the carriage and asked the coachman, "Hello, excuse me. I want to ask you something. Are you from the same caravan as the one in front?"
She realized that the coachman was a person who wrapped himself up tightly. She couldn't see his face at all.
"Yes."
That was the only response from the other party.
"Then I want to talk to your leader. Can you tell me which carriage he's in?"
Hearing that, the carriage driver coughed, then extended his hand and pointed outside.
Lehr saw that there seemed to be some gray fur in his sleeves.
Perhaps it was because he was wearing leather gloves. She didn't take it to heart and walked towards where the coachman pointed.
Grano also got off the carriage and followed behind Lehr. The two walked along the road. After walking for a while, they arrived at the city gate.
The guards were inspecting the carriages. Lehr noticed that the carriages were filled with bags of wheat.
There was so much wheat? Where did this merchant get it from?
Lehr was careful. The Adventurer's Guild, the Dragon Boat Empire, and the Luas Empire had jointly called for a large amount of food from all over the world to supply the frontline.
It seemed that the ancient city of Stone was much worse than she had imagined.
"I'm looking for the person in charge."
Lehr said to the coachman who was being inspected.
The coachman didn't look at her. He just pointed in a direction. It was near the city gate. A more luxurious carriage stopped at the side.
It blocked a good area, but the guards didn't chase them away.
There was no doubt that this merchant had some connections here.
Lehr walked to the front of the carriage and knocked on the door.
"Go open the door."
"Why should it be me?"
"Why don't I open it?"
"No! She's the closest to the door. She must be the one to open it. "
Suddenly, the carriage door opened with a loud click. A woman with snow-white skin and beautiful features appeared in front of Layel. She didn't look like a living creature. Layel didn't know what to make of this conversation, but she didn't know what to say.
"Who are you!?"
The white woman stared at Lehr and asked.
