Apidu, the empire's newly built coastal capital, serves as a central city and directly suppresses the entire coastal area. This huge city, which rose out of thin air in a few years, single-handedly suppressed all the Sea Clan armies along the entire coast.

Repelled, leaving the empire's newly conquered coastal territories impregnable.

The person guarding here is the Imperial Grand Duke Trela ​​whom Lu En mentioned before. In addition, there is an Imperial Marshal and an entire elite army of about 50,000 people.

According to the empire's system, every soldier in the elite army is a professional. There are also three servant soldiers who are not included in the total number, making them a powerful army.

The Grand Duke himself is not here. If there is nothing necessary, he probably won't come, but the Imperial Marshal should be stationed here.

The Imperial Marshal stationed at Apidou is named Slaer Raton, the famous Dragon Slayer.

The reason why he is allowed to guard here is also very simple. Because of the existence of the ancient sea emperor dragon, there are a lot of dragon beasts in the sea tribe, and Marshal Slaer's dragon slayer skills can easily kill them all, so as long as he is here

Every day here, the Hai people dare not act rashly.

As for who to choose as his retainer... Lu En has already made up his mind. He won't really become a dog.

After getting off the airship, Lu En rented a carriage and hired a few boys to pull the goods. They were all strong monsters and asked them to help carry the luggage. He used an invisibility spell to cover the incapacitated ones.

He held the two little girls so that they would not be seen, and then he carried them around.

Walking into the city, there are still towering city walls.

The city wall is very thick and hollow, with a cavity for the guards to rest. The inner wall of the city wall should be a walkway, with mountains of bows and arrows and slings hidden inside. Those are not decorations, but are coated with kerosene, or

It's a real guy stained with blood, and now there are a lot of troops here.

There are three or four rivers running through the center of the city, leading to the sea. The water volume is abundant, enough for the entire city. There are countless bridges on the entire waterway to connect the cities.

As far as the eye can see, there are more than a dozen waterwheels turning. Shops that need waterwheels are lined up around the waterwheels. Each shop takes turns using water power to grind flour, beat ore, or mill fabrics.

Walking through a city gate, Lu En showed his title and certificate as governor, and came in without being scrutinized. The guards did not dare to search the carriages and horses of an imperial provincial governor, even though the governor looked very shabby.

He didn't have many followers, but it proved to be true.

When Lu En walked through the city gate, he was greeted by a lively scene, with carriages and mules laden with goods coming in an endless stream. A truck loaded with chicken coops passed right in front of him.

There are also some tall and strong monsters, who appear to be professionals, carrying cargo larger than their own bodies, wearing turbans, and with severe sunburn at the corners of their eyes. They are probably merchants who have traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers to come here.

One of the teams.

However, this place is still very primitive and chaotic. It is not as neat and beautiful as the magic city of the Imperial Capital, nor is it as holy and noble as the holy city of Havar. On the contrary, this newly built city is full of rude atmosphere.

The whole city is like a tangled ball of noodles dropped on the floor. The streets are twisted and chaotic, and so are the buildings. The landlords are building layers on top of their houses in order to make profits. They are obviously dangerous buildings.

But otherwise it would not be able to accommodate the influx of people.

The road was covered with the dung of horses and mules, and there were avalanches of pigs grazing on it and chickens that had escaped from nowhere wandering back and forth. The smell was very touching.

Of course, it's not just the animals that are wandering around. There are also a lot of suspicious people leaning against the wall, observing the passers-by with impetuous expressions. Among them are thieves, robbers, and the like.

In a big city where all kinds of creatures live together, even the food has become all kinds of strange. Not to mention the ordinary meat, vegetables and fruits that humans and most creatures eat, it is worth mentioning that the creatures with unique tastes are also satisfying.

There are all kinds of ingredients. There is a fresh gelatinous substance cut into strips at the meat stall that is still trembling. As for what it is...if you don't eat it, it's better not to ask, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.

Piles of all kinds of rare stones make the rock and earth elementals salivate, the poisonous weeds with a rotten smell are welcomed by the poison-loving spirits, and the strange smell wafting from the cauldron of boiling pulpy slag makes the magic bats line up.

In long lines, the cinders and flames under the pot will be sold to the red fire dogs.

It looks like some strange magical trading place, but it's actually just a vegetable market.

Leaving the vegetable market and arriving at the main street, it is even more lively, with a wide variety of products. Various pots, carpets, fruits and cloths. The sellers standing in the shadows of the street provide all kinds of entertainment, suitable for any taste.

, food stalls, jugglers, singers, fortune tellers, and prostitutes all appeared, hoping to find a customer, preferably someone who was taken advantage of.

However, these are only a minority after all. The real large-scale transactions have to be the most basic materials, meat, grains, vegetables, fruits, wood, pig iron and stone. These are the foundation of the city.

Lu En walked in the city, held his breath, and habitually observed everything around him. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of this chaotic area and reached the aristocratic area.

No matter how long it takes, I still can't get used to the smell. This has nothing to do with consciousness, it is a physiological factor.

"Send your things there, I'll be in soon." Lu En pointed to a neat hotel on the roadside and asked someone to carry his luggage inside.

Then, he slightly revealed the magic power fluctuations on his body. The level 9 magic was extremely conspicuous. In the entire city, everyone with magic power on their bodies was aware of it, even if it was just a tiny bit.

Everyone around looked at him sideways, but they all thought it was a powerful mage casting a spell, so they didn't react. Although powerful mage deserves respect, there are many Apidu nowadays, so not many people care.

They have no ability to tell the difference between a level 5 mage and a level 9 mage.

After Lu En finished doing this, he came to the room, paid his wages, opened another room, put the two little girls in it, poured a glass of water himself, and sat next to the clean and bright coffee table.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in." Lu En said.

An officer walked in from outside. He was tall and had a resolute face. He was almost as tall as Lu En. His muscles were well-proportioned, his uniform was straight, and he was very heroic.

"Hello, King of Monsters, the Marshal asked me to contact you. You can call me Raf. I am the general of the Fourth Army, and my official position is slightly lower than yours."

Lu En nodded. From the man's tone, it was obvious that the top leaders of the city of Apidou, especially Marshal Slaer, had already heard the news of his arrival, but they sent a general over, and

If you don’t come here in person, you may still have temptations in mind.

After getting Lu En's permission, the officer walked in and sat down opposite Lu En.

Then, he asked politely: "Your Excellency, your activities have always been limited to the inland, and the furthest is Orang. Why do you come to the coast?"

Lu En saw him glancing at the bed from time to time. He must have noticed the magical fluctuations of the invisibility spell, but it was limited to a level and could not see what was inside, so he was wary.

Lu En said with a smile: "Don't you understand, Marshal? I'm just looking for a way to be promoted. Now there are a lot of empty territories along the coast, and the empire also wants to support a new group of nobles, so why can't it be me?

" Lu En said directly and frankly, without concealing his purpose of coming.

"..." The officer was silent for a while, as if he didn't expect Lu En to be so frank. He thought he would test it out with you, Lu En, and I would try it out for a long time before he could pull off the trick with some intelligence.

to understand the other party’s intentions.

This is the mode of serious aristocratic communication, they call it the art of speaking.

He is indeed a monster. From the looks of it, I think he may be no different from a human being, but in the end, he is still a monster and his personality cannot be changed.

Thinking of this, the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor popped into the general's mind. If the King of Monsters had this intention, I'm afraid Yuan's original plan would need to be changed.

Ennoblement must be done and reviewed by the emperor himself. The King of Monsters doesn't know whether he can pass that test, and... His Majesty the Emperor cannot speculate at all.

Because His Majesty the Emperor has no humanity, this is well known.

If he were a human being and had human nature, he would think more about gains and losses, and be able to guess his thoughts and guess what he would do.

But if he is not a human being and only has divinity and rationality, then for him, as long as it is beneficial to the empire, who will die or not live? Who will live will not live? Who will die and who will live is just a thought, so no matter who lives, it is excusable.

It is natural for everyone to die, there is no reason for it.

This is true for every emperor of the empire, and no other.

"Then... please don't do anything misleading here. As for your purpose, I will truthfully report it to the marshal, so I'll leave first." The general stood up and was about to leave.

"By the way, one more thing, can you find me an alchemist in the army? Of course, I will pay you." Lu En said to the general.

The general looked troubled: "I'm sorry... Your Excellency, but now is a time when armaments are in short supply, and the alchemists are very busy. I wonder what you need the alchemists for?"

"I need to build several demon puppet limbs, are you really unable to spare any of them?" Lu En asked.

If you continue to ask after the other party refuses, it means that it is very urgent. I believe the other party can hear it and intends to accept it as a favor for this matter.

The general seemed to have thought of something and smiled bitterly: "If you have something very urgent, we do have an alchemist who has nothing to do, but I'm afraid he is not very disciplined."

"It doesn't matter, just have them." Lu En breathed a sigh of relief, it would be fine if there was someone else, so he didn't need to hold the two little girls all the time.

"Well, if you need it, we will send him over to see you as soon as possible." After the general finished speaking, he seemed eager to go back to resume his duties, but it was inconvenient to leave. He stood there and waited for Lu En to continue asking questions.

Lu En asked for some simple information, such as when the list of knights will be confirmed, when the marshal will be free and can meet him in person, etc.

Finally, the general invited Lu En to live in the military camp so that he would not have to endure the complicated affairs of the street. Lu En declined.

To the military camp? How is that possible?

Then, the other party left politely without any transgression from beginning to end.

After the two incidents in the Imperial Capital and Duke Walder, everyone feels that the King of Monsters is the kind of fierce man who hides his madness and does not care about the consequences. In addition, he has no actions or ambitions to establish a big power, so he does not

If you want to provoke him too much, lest this king's bloodline opens up the hell level and directly overwhelms you with level 10 momentum, you will lose face and get beaten up, which is a big loss.

Lu En was also happy that they all recognized this, which meant that they still didn't know the origin of the workshop, and Lu En didn't believe that they could find the whereabouts of the workshop.

As the King of Monsters, the time and place when he appeared was along the coast, which was very consistent with his situation at that time. After being injured, he went directly down the river and quickly came to the coast through the Blue River to look for opportunities to heal his injuries.

Only Urahil knew about the workshop, and Urahil did not tell the empire. Lu En knew this very well. She knew the price of doing so, especially since she was now preparing to fight between Lu En and the imperial nobles.

This is especially true when waiting for a price.

Those heavenly apostles are her greatest spiritual sustenance and greatest restraint.

No one would believe that the King of Monsters would only focus on building such inferior workshops. There are even humans in these workshops, and some of their leaders are even humans, such as Kestor.

This is inconsistent with the style of the King of Monsters. Moreover, the King of Monsters has never helped these workshops. If he really wants to support his power, why would he use this kind of thing? The total profit in total is less than 10,000 yuan a year.

The gold coins are not as good as the commission he gets from one shot, and there are very few professionals. The combat effectiveness is basically equal to 0, and it is of no use at all.

The nobles would not have thought of Lu En's plan. From their point of view, the workshop was worthless, not worth Lu En's work, let alone the trouble to cover up. That's why Lu En could let Anluo's trade route do business all the way.

, without any hesitation.

He was not worried at all that the nobles would look down at those mud-legged people. With their eyes on the top of their heads, they could only see the power possessed by the King of Monsters, and they would never imagine that someone would do something without any benefit.

After finalizing these, he walked to the bed.

"With the alchemist, you should have no problem moving. Do you want to go back? I promised you that I can send you back to Oran, but before that, I still have some things to do, and you may have to follow me for a while.
