The necromancer just wants to plant trees

……

Blood Sand City.

After paying a hefty entrance fee.

Matthew and his two companions quickly passed through the narrow gate under the impatient urging of the city gate guard.

After leaving the gate.

Bright light instantly replaced the silent shadow.

What appeared in front of Matthew was a busy but orderly city picture-

A group of red-skinned, green-haired tiefling merchants were escorting a huge ox cart walking in the center of the main road.

A hideous demon tied to the ox cart attracted a large number of onlookers.

There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street.

The signs or flags of all the shops only occupied a small part of the space where their own storefronts were located, which looked extremely restrained.

Two cavalry demons hurried past, their four feet stepped on the hardened mud slabs, raising bursts of dust, and one of the mud slabs was even broken into several pieces by being stepped on.

A demon with an exaggeratedly swollen upper body immediately came forward.

He was wearing a slightly higher-end uniform than the city guards. As soon as they met, he reprimanded the two cavalry demons with a strong accent of Purgatory language, and mercilessly demanded that the cavalry demons pay the fees for destroying public property.

While the cavalry demons and the city guards were arguing fiercely.

A cunning little devil flew over from behind the cavalry demon's buttocks. He stole a few gold coins from the cavalry demon's backpack and threw a stone into it.

Further away.

A succubus woman wearing a veil was soliciting customers from the balcony on the second floor along the street.

Her means and temptations were not just verbal.

After a simple trick.

A goat horn in her hand turned into a strong man. The man screamed and started a war with the succubus on the spot.

The obscene screams and breath spread instantly.

This scene made the newcomers to the city stunned.

But more residents are used to it.

There was even a well-dressed devil gentleman who came to the city guard and politely gave advice:

"Trouble these two poor young men will not make you richer, sir."

"They look very poor and cannot pay the high fine you asked for."

"But the lady across the street, as far as I know, she has a lot of money. If I remember correctly, her current behavior has violated the public security management regulations of Blood Sand City."

"I suggest you go find her..."

The devil gentleman's voice was quickly covered by another sudden and angry roar.

In the alley next to it.

A bloody human slave was kicked to the middle of the road, even startling the tiefling caravan.

A few seconds later.

A high-ranking devil holding a whip walked out of the alley gracefully, shouting as he walked:

"This is the fate of stealing the master's property!"

The human slave was dying, but he was still trying to make a slight sound:

"I didn't, I didn't steal."

"That was a reward from my wife..."

Hearing this.

A deep haze flashed across the eyes of the high-ranking devil.

Without saying a word, he whipped the slave with a long whip one after another. In a few breaths, the man completely lost his life!

After doing all this.

The high-ranking devil couldn't help but look back and look at the depths of the alley.

There.

A small door was quietly closed.

A trace of pride and joy appeared on the devil's face, but soon became lonely again.

Knock knock knock!

Another convoy drove into the city.

The body of the human slave was carried away, and the devil holding a long whip also disappeared in the crowd.

The main road became more crowded.

Ma Xiuxing walked on the side of the main road, taking in all the scenes along the street.

Roland fully demonstrated the ability of a bard, filling in all the gossip:

"The two cavalry demons took the initiative to join the army to fight against the demons in the south of Blood Sand City.

Although they are evil demons, they are still passionate.

It's a pity that most of their money was used to pay taxes in the city.

Faced with a sky-high ticket, they can only run away or do hard labor..."

"The devil gentleman who reported to the city guard was the owner of another devil brothel. The lady of the succubus originally worked under him, but later ran away to work alone, so she held a grudge and came to trouble her from time to time."

"As for the poor human slave just now, hey, he was just a little fun between the upper devil and his wife. It's just a flavoring agent. "

"That upper devil is obviously a well-known figure, but unfortunately he is powerless in bed, and his wife's family is a first-class noble in Blood Sand City.

In order to please his wife and the family behind her.

He can only take the initiative to find men of other races to be her personal male slaves to satisfy her needs. "

"But after a long time, he can't help but be jealous, so as soon as his wife shows signs of being tired of these male slaves, he will immediately find an excuse to whip them to death.

His wife certainly understands this, and she is happy to change to a fresh taste, so she has always turned a blind eye to it.

Poor male slaves may still think that the devil's wife and themselves are in true love until they die..."

Hearing this.

Matthew sighed softly.

Walking in the blood sand city.

What surprised him most was how large the number of other races here was!

He thought that in the frontline city where demons were fighting, demon residents must have made up the majority.

But that's not the case.

Along the way, Matthew estimated that devils of all kinds accounted for only 20% of the total population!

What remains are various other humanoid races.

Among them, humans from purgatory or the outer plane account for more than half!

Most of them are slaves, and the better ones are civilians. When facing devils, they usually behave very uneasy.

As for the hybrid between humans and devils——

tiefling.

Their situation doesn't seem to be much better.

At least after Matthew and others dressed up as tieflings, when they encountered the eyes of the devil in the city, good intentions were always in the minority.

It seemed that he was aware of Matthew's thoughts.

Luo Lan said softly:

"In fact, not long after the bloody battle began, both the devil and the devil realized that this was a protracted war and a war of attrition."

"They learned how to preserve their vitality to the greatest extent during the long war."

"One of the simplest and crudest methods is to recruit civilians or slaves from other races and let them build fortifications and go to the battlefield on their behalf."

"Most of the humans you see in the city are cannon fodder captured by demons who invaded the secondary plane."

"Odd celestial changes have exacerbated this phenomenon. You know, after the Great Rip, the outer secondary planes collapsed one after another, and a large number of humans were forced to rely on powerful astral races in order to survive."

"Purgatory is like this, but the other side of the abyss is actually not much different..."

Matthew nodded slightly.

The main road ahead came to an end and there was a fork in the road.

According to the sign in Inferno.

They knew that the roads in front of them led to the trade market, the military management area and the city hall.

After entering Blood Sand City, their journey to purgatory was successfully completed.

The key to the remaining half lies in obtaining the "Nine Prison Documents".

The so-called "Nine Prison Documents".

In fact, it is a manifestation of the will of the Purgatory Blood River.

The Blood River gave the devil lords absolute jurisdiction over their own territory.

This results in the lack of permission from them.

Once outsiders enter their territory, they may encounter the will of purgatory. In severe cases, they may even attract the attention of the devil lord himself——

This is why Purgatory is so difficult to penetrate.

Blood River's will carries a strong sense of order.

The rules here are the strictest and it is difficult for outsiders to find loopholes and exploit them.

The Nine Prison Documents are the only exception.

It is a pass issued by the Will of Purgatory personally, and the holder can freely enter and exit the nine hells.

But it is very difficult to obtain documents from the Nine Hells.

Matthew did a lot of homework in the early stage.

It is said that Blood Sand City is the easiest place to obtain documents from the Nine Hells.

This is why they set this trip's transit stop here.

After a brief discussion, the three of them divided their troops into three groups and acted separately.

They plan to start from different areas and study how to obtain the Nine Prison Documents.

Matthew went to the market.

Half an hour later.

In a dimly lit small shop.

A short, horned devil merchant wearing thick pince-nez was eagerly examining the goods Matthew had brought from the material world, his voice was extremely low:

"Do you want the Nine Prison Documents?"

"That is not an easy thing to get. There are only two or three families in the city who are qualified to issue the Nine Prisons Documents. Everyone doing business wants to get it, but so far there are still very few caravans who have actually obtained the document. ”

"By the way, the quality of this thing is really good. Are you really from the material world?"

Matthew calmly resisted the other party's temptation:

"I can guarantee that our goods come from the material world."

"So how do I get the Nine Prison Documents? Get the approval of those two families?"

The horned demon took off his glasses and wiped them with the white rag:

"Sell this batch of goods to me 30% below the market price, and I will tell you how to obtain the Nine Prison Documents."

Matthew grabbed the sample back:

"See you next time."

The horned demon grabbed him instantly:

"etc."

"We can discuss the price."

Matthew said calmly:

"I only like happy people in business."

"You tell me how to obtain the Nine Prison Documents, and I will sell these goods to you at the original market price - or shall I find someone else?"

"Don't think I don't know that goods from the material world sell well here."

Matthew wasn't lying.

He had indeed done some homework in this area before coming, so the batch of goods he carried was indeed the most sought-after material in Purgatory.

The horned demon was silent for three seconds. Seeing Matthew making another move to leave, he immediately shouted:

"make a deal!"

"But I need to see more samples."

Matthew looked at each other calmly:

"Why don't we talk about the Nine Prison Documents first?"

The horned devil glared at him helplessly.

Twenty minutes later.

Matthew walked quickly out of the door of the small shop, easily getting rid of a shadow demon who was following him. He came to another shop in the market area again, and showed the demon in the shop that he came from the material world in exactly the same way. of the finest goods——

The goods he sold to the first small shop only accounted for less than one-tenth of the total.

There will naturally be more room for operation in the future.

This went back and forth twice.

Before nightfall.

Matthew left the market area and returned to the inn run by the Son of Purgatory where the three had agreed.

At night.

The three met successfully.

After some communication.

They summarized several ways to obtain the Nine Hells Documents in Blood Sand City.

The first way is to get the approval of the three major families-

It may also be the two major families.

It is said that the three major devil families that originally ruled the city were qualified to make the Nine Hells Documents.

But later one of the families weakened.

It is suspected that they have lost the ability to make the Nine Hells Documents.

Although the devils of this family still claim to have the ability to issue the Nine Hells Documents, many devils in the city are skeptical about this.

Correspondingly, it is easier to get the approval of this weakened family than the other two families.

But no matter what.

Matthew and the other two were new here, and the disguised tiefling merchants had no status in Purgatory. It was really difficult to get the approval of the local devils in a short period of time.

The second way is to join the devil's army and build merit.

The military merit system of Blood Sand City is very complete. No matter what your identity is, you can join as a mercenary, and then start calculating merit based on large and small battles.

Naturally.

The requirements for merit in the Nine Prisons Documents are also very huge.

Matthew estimated that he would have to lead the devils to win a large-scale battle with more than one million people.

Not to mention whether this condition is harsh or not.

Just a lot of time will be lost.

For them, this road is also difficult to go through.

The third way is to find a caravan or individual who already has the Nine Prisons Documents to rent.

This method is the most feasible.

But the problem is that the Nine Prisons Documents themselves mean unlimited business opportunities. It is not too easy for people with documents to do business. Instead of renting, it is better to do it yourself.

According to the information that Roland got from the City Hall.

There are currently about seven or eight Nine Prisons Documents in the city, of which only two or three are idle. Their owners are also big figures in the city. It is not so easy to negotiate business with them.

"You don't know, I was exhausted this afternoon..."

"Here, this is a list of families or individuals in the city who have the Nine Prisons' Documents. This is a confidential document. Only the devils who work in the city hall are qualified to access it."

"Listen, we have to make a quick decision. The devils are very strict about this thing. The news that the three of us are looking for the Nine Prisons' Documents in the city today will probably spread soon. The longer it takes, the higher the possibility of leaking out."

Lorran said with a tired face.

Matthew looked at the bright red lip marks on his neck, chest and side face, and resisted asking him what the scars on his butt were.

"I can guarantee that the news will not leak out."

Carmela, who is in charge of the military management area, was very calm.

She took a sip of tea and said:

"Everyone I asked has been brainwashed by me, and there will be no big problems in the short term."

"But I also agree to act as soon as possible. No matter which way we go, we need a plan."

Said.

The two looked at Matthew at the same time.

Matthew looked at the organized documents on the table, thought for a moment and said:

"Let's rent one."

Roland shook his head and said:

"What if they don't want to?"

Matthew blinked:

"Sometimes, borrowing things doesn't necessarily require people to be willing."
