The lush green forest was full of vitality. A large road cut through the forest, and a winding river could be seen in the distance. A huge city sat in the middle of the forest.
This was the Ufa Great Forest, a dangerous place where humans rarely set foot.
At this time, a group of people appeared at the exit of the tunnel, which was halfway up the mountain. The merchant looked at the road with a pair of binoculars.
"Sir, is that the demon's territory?"
The guard behind the merchant stood up and asked. The former dark adventurer, named Hundred Demon Slayer Hu Lang, was one of the few lone wolves in the dark adventurers. His weapon was only a short knife. His most special feature was the cross-shaped wound on his face.
"What do you think?"
The merchant asked.
Hu Lang squinted his eyes and covered his forehead with his hand. He looked into the distance and said, "Oh, those who live here are all demons with weak fighting strength, except for the Boar Clan. But the rumors seem to be true, the Boar Clan King seems to be dead."
"Oh? How so? "
The merchant looked at Hu Lang and asked.
"Because I can't smell their stench." Hu Lang smiled, which made the merchant feel a little strange. But the other party was an expert in dealing with demons, so he couldn't suspect anything.
"Then, if we are ambushed, how confident are you that you can let me escape unscathed?"
"About seventy percent."
"What! Only seventy percent? "
The merchant showed a look of reproach, but Hu Lang smiled coldly, "It's a situation where we can annihilate the enemy."
Hearing this, the merchant was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on a smile.
"Spending a lot of money to hire you is not a waste. Let's go."
He shouted to the guards and coachman behind him.
At this time, the birds circling above their heads suddenly flew towards the trading city.
The carriages moved very slowly, and the guards were very nervous. Although the road was very wide, they still shrank in the middle of the road.
Hu Lang sat in the first carriage, and only he looked calm. The city gate appeared in front of everyone, and the carriages suddenly stopped, accompanied by the panicked voice of the coachman.
"Demons! Demons! "
"Don't move! Don't move! "
"Calm down!"
The neighing of the horses and the shouts of the guards mixed together, and the scene became chaotic. In front of the city gate, they saw fully armed demon soldiers. Ordinary humans had a natural fear of demons, especially when they had never seen one before.
Dong!!
At this moment, the sound of a bell from an unknown place pierced through the forest and reached everyone's ears. Instantly, everyone shut their mouths in tacit agreement. They were a little confused and slowly looked towards the city gate.
Only now did they realize that in addition to the beastmen, there were also human soldiers with weapons standing beside the demon soldiers.
What was going on?
The merchant was also shocked by this scene. If it was a demon army in front of him, he would not be so surprised, but humans and demons were working together.
That would be very interesting.
A smile appeared on his nervous face, making him look somewhat ferocious.
This was probably the craziest thing he had ever done, making a deal with the demons!
"I'm here to do business. Everyone, can you let us in?"
The merchant shouted at the demons in front of him. He did not look at the humans. The ones who controlled this city were definitely demons. The merchant would not waste time talking to people who were useless to him.
The guards looked at them, then seemed to have reached a consensus and gradually retreated to both sides.
"Go!"
The merchant shouted.
Then he personally drove the carriage and led the team into the city.
Hu Lang sat beside him and coldly glanced at the soldiers, then revealed a contemptuous smile.
The carriage drivers behind were trembling, and some were still moving forward with their eyes closed. So there were several accidents in the city gate, and the line of carriages was in a mess.
But when they realized that the guards were ignoring them, they gradually relaxed.
"This is a demon city? It can't be, it's no different from a human city! "
"Yes, indeed, but there are very few residents here. It might be a trap."
"Then they're probably going to lose money. No matter how valuable my goods are, they can't buy a city." The merchant joked.
Hu Lang looked at the demons passing by. These demons were all demon civilians who lived here daily. What made him puzzled was that there was more than one type of demon living in this city. One had to know that the Demon Race was still in a tribal state. To them, different Demon Races were equivalent to different races. Only humans would classify them as Demon Races.
So, in theory, this kind of city where many demons lived together should not appear.
"Hey, stop."
At that moment, a group of human and demon soldiers blocked their way. They were still wandering on the road, looking for a market or something. When they saw these soldiers, they couldn't help but feel nervous. The guards immediately put their hands on their weapons, ready to fight at any time.
But at that moment, a noble woman gracefully walked out from between the two groups of soldiers. She was a very beautiful woman, with chestnut hair, luxurious clothes, and expensive jewelry.
"Hello, I am the city's lord, Myr. Welcome."
Hearing this, the merchant's expression changed.
City's lord?
A young woman? No! That's not the problem. The city's lord is a human? What's going on?
He thought of many possibilities. Maybe the demon behind this controlled a human girl to make them feel safe. It was a sinister move, but he was here to do business. As long as there was profit to be made, he didn't care if it was a human or demon.
"Hello, my lord. I am Eibron from the Kalis Empire. Nice to meet you."
Eibron stepped down from the carriage and took off his hat.
Myr nodded slightly. "Welcome, Mister Eibron. I wonder what brings you here today?"
Eibron smiled. "That's because I heard there's a trading city in the eastern forest. I'm a merchant, and a merchant's job is to trade. Lord Myr, I'm here to do business."
He looked at Myr.
Myr looked at the caravan expressionlessly and smiled. "You're very welcome. Please follow me."
Eibron looked back and glanced at Hu Lang. He seemed to understand something and walked to the back of the caravan.
"These are our goods. We have magical daily necessities and textiles from the Luas Empire. Take a look, they're all of the best quality. To show my sincerity, I've personally selected the best. I believe that even if Mister Myr were to come to the human world, you wouldn't be able to buy such good goods."
The merchant boasted. Myr walked past the rows of open boxes. There were vases, wine glasses, clothes, and even some obsolete equipment. There was even salt and spices. There was a wide variety of goods. Myr guessed that the merchant was trying to find out what he wanted.
"Is that all?"
Myr suddenly stopped and asked. The smile on the merchant's face froze for a moment, but it quickly returned to its usual smiling state.
"Of course not. Uh, I'm sure you'll be interested in these goods."
The merchant then looked at the last three carriages. The coachman understood and slowly drove the carriage forward. The carriages were covered so tightly that they couldn't see what was inside. However, Myr had a bad premonition. When the mysterious merchant suddenly lifted the long cloth on the carriage, she suddenly showed a shocked expression.
The carriage was filled with people, a group of people whose hands were tied up. Their despairing eyes were like a pool of stagnant water.
God, I won't be able to go to heaven.
Myr clenched her fists.
