Archdemon

In the room on the back of the tall beast of burden, Manu was lying on a soft cushion.

There was a window on his side. Manu opened the window and looked at the slaves guarding the caravan below, and couldn't help but recall last year.

Last year, he had a dragon as his guard, which made him very safe when he was a merchant in Xindi. That was the most reassuring time for him in all his years of business in Xindi.

Unlike now, Manu looked at the lazy guards below. What if these lazy guys really met a demon with a broken brain?

Manu closed the window without worrying about it. He was thinking about the situation of the dragon.

This dragon was sold to the Deep Hell Refiner by himself, and he didn't know if it was dead now.

Manu had seen many powerful mercenaries, and he had seen many more powerful than this dragon.

Even if he was very strong, on the battlefield of Purgatory, being strong was not necessarily a good thing. The more powerful, the more deaths.

Those who can really survive in the bloody battle of Purgatory are often cunning people. They hide their strength, hide behind their teammates, and run away at the first time when the battle situation is not going well.

That evil dragon is good. He is strong enough, evil enough, and a little smart.

But those little smarts are all left over by Lord Manu. Lord Manu has been doing business in Purgatory for so many years. He has seen all kinds of people and done all kinds of things.

He is still too young!

Even if he gets the pioneering order, so what? In this terrifying place of New Land, no more than one out of ten people who get the pioneering order can survive in the end.

Thinking of this, Manu turned over and lay in a comfortable direction. It is better to be a merchant, safe and profitable!

Developing territory? Stupid!

...

Manu's caravan moved very quickly, much faster than last year.

The main reason is that the little devils found that a small group of demons appeared behind them at some point.

Although it was a small group, there were still two or three thousand demons, which was a number that Manu's caravan could not defeat.

Fortunately, Manu had walked this road several times and was familiar with the road conditions. They quickly used a trick to get rid of this group of demons.

In the end, Manu once again successfully led the caravan to the castle of the horned demon.

The demons in the castle watched the caravan coming and did not relax their vigilance. When they saw that it was Manu, a demon welcomed him into the city.

This time, Manu's treatment was obviously much better than before.

The area of ​​this castle was also larger than last year, indicating that the development of this horned demon lord was good.

This horned demon once left a deep impression on Manu. On this journey of the caravan, only this lord would provide Manu with soul worms.

Thinking of this delicious food, Manu's saliva flowed down.

He secretly made a decision in his heart that if this horned demon was still willing to provide him with soul worms, then this time, he would definitely give him a discount on the goods he bought.

Manu said angrily, 99% discount! !

The horned demon lord met Manu in the reception hall and said, "Manu, long time no see!"

With his signature smile on his face, Manu's sharp teeth were exposed. He bent down and made an exaggerated salute, his fat belly almost touching the ground. He said, "Lord Bilie, you have become more majestic and stronger!!"

The strength of this horned demon is also in the senior gold, but it is not too far from the holy land.

The horned demon Bilie also seemed to be quite happy. After all, compared with the things bought in Lovisa, the goods carried by Manu are really good quality and cheap.

The horned demon Bilie quickly checked the goods carried by Manu and selected what he needed from them.

For this transaction, both the buyer and the seller are quite satisfied.

At the banquet at night, Bilie once again ordered his men to bring out the soul worms.

As soon as this delicious food came out, all the devils present couldn't take their eyes off it.

The deliciousness of soul worms is irresistible to all devils, but the middle and lower devils are not qualified to enjoy this delicacy.

Only the upper devils can eat a little from time to time. Bilie took out soul worms to entertain Manu, which really shows that he values ​​this Yugroth merchant.

Manu couldn't help but feel happy. He tried hard to control his saliva from flowing out. He said: "Lord Bilie, really, you are so evil. Thank you for your gift. I will give you a discount on this time!!"

After hearing this, Bilie laughed out loud. He waved his hand and didn't care about what Manu said.

As a pioneer lord, he is used to seeing all kinds of demons. The greed of the yugoloth demons is civilized. Discount? Not raising the price is good enough.

During the conversation between the two demons, Bilie suddenly thought of something. He said to Manu: "Manu, do you remember the red dragon that was once your mercenary?"

Manu, who was eating delicious food, was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why Bilie suddenly mentioned the red dragon, but he still said: "Of course I remember it. It was really a powerful and evil dragon. I introduced him to General Tate of Lovisa as a mercenary. What's wrong?"

Bile listened to Manu and thought about Huo Ling's strength. He nodded secretly. He said: "He is indeed powerful. Now this dragon has become a pioneer lord. It is not too far from my territory. It is only about seven or eight days away."

When Manu heard this, he couldn't help but slow down his chewing.

He recalled the bits and pieces of the past with Huo Ling. He didn't expect that he sold him to Tate, and he could really open up a territory.

...

Manu's caravan soon set off again. He left Bilie and continued to lead the caravan towards the familiar trade route.

But after walking for half a day, the desire to explore swept him.

Manu stood on the head of the huge longhorn beetle, stroking the thick tentacles of the longhorn beetle with his fingers, looking at the unchanging scorched earth environment in front of him.

He has been walking on this trade route for several years. Although the devil pioneering points here have always existed, the lords of these pioneering points are often replaced.

Maybe at some point, the fortress of a pioneering point was breached by the devil, and the lord inside was likely to be unable to escape and be eaten by the devil.

Compared with walking on the unchanging trade route, Manu is undoubtedly bold, otherwise he would not travel between the various territories in the new land.

So he quickly made up his mind.

"Come on, turn around! Go this direction!!"
