Although he really didn't want his grandson to enter the dangerous hinterland of the demon clan, the light in the eyes of Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er made Long Tianyin completely unable to refuse.
"Okay, but you can't go in with any fanfare anymore."
Long Tianyin thought for a while and then gave Long Haochen some advice. The current demons must be all invincible. If they don't find the ones who destroyed the two demon pillars, killed the snake demon god Andumari, and seriously injured the peacock demon god Andre Andu,
It is impossible for the demons to calm down before the real murderer is revealed.
Under this situation, if Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er continue to enter the demon hinterland so casually, they will most likely be besieged by the demons immediately. By then, it will be too late for the Human Temple Alliance to rescue them.
.
If the Holy Demon Continent presents a square shape, then the Temple Alliance is in the northwest corner of this square, and the other three-quarters of the area is under the control of the Demon Race.
After entering the Dark Ages, the Demon Clan divided the area under its jurisdiction into twenty-four provinces. Each province had a demon god sitting in charge, and the other demon gods were scattered throughout the Demon Clan's territory.
The central area in the hinterland of the Demon Clan is also called the Central Province of the Demon Clan. It is located in the southeast of the center of the Demon Clan territory. It is the largest of the twenty-four provinces. The Demon Palace of the Demon God Emperor is located there.
Previously, the location where Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er moved was located in the northwest corner of the Demon Clan, which was the place closest to the Temple Alliance and the weakest point of the Demon Clan's defense.
If the demons want to investigate, they will definitely not be able to bypass this area. If Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er return along the same route, they will only fall into the demons' pocket and never come out.
Therefore, this time, they decided to enter the hinterland of the Demon Clan in the opposite direction, taking the southeast corner and going straight to the central province of the Demon Clan!
Of course, they did not target the Demon Palace where the Demon God Emperor resides. Even if they had given Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er two more courages, they would not be able to trouble the Demon God Emperor at the seventh level.
The goals of the two of them are the other demon gods who are attached to the Demon God Emperor's Moon Demon God and Star Demon God.
Among the twenty-four provinces, the Silan Province was stationed by the Peacock Demon God Andre Andu. It was dead, and the Silan Province and the Silan Province were destroyed by the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu.
There is not only one demon god among the other twenty-three provinces. If the war had not started on the front line, there should have been at least three resident demon gods in Silan Province. It can only be said that Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er were very lucky.
According to the information obtained by the human demon hunting group, there are at least a dozen demon gods living in the central province. They are all vassals of the Star Demon God and the Moon Demon God, and are at the disposal of the two demon gods at any time.
It is precisely because there is no station, these demon gods usually only occupy an area to play their own games, and because they are adjacent to the central province, the vigilance of these demon gods can be said to be the worst, and their defensive strength can also be said to be vulnerable.
.
Compared with those demon gods who have a station, Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er feel that it is easier to deal with this kind of roving soldiers.
"Haochen, if you want to sneak into the demon clan's hinterland, I think you can use some special methods."
When Long Xingyu brought Long Haochen and Sheng Caier to the southeastern border of the Temple Alliance, he gave Long Haochen and Sheng Caier a suggestion.
Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er, who were riding on the back of Xing Wang, looked at each other and listened to Long Xingyu's instructions very carefully.
"Use the power of the demons to sneak in!"
Long Xingyu's words made Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er a little confused, but then Sheng Cai'er suddenly understood.
"You mean the caravan?"
Seeing that Sheng Cai'er understood something, Long Xingyu nodded with satisfaction. It had to be said that Sheng Cai'er, who came from a wealthy family, did know a lot more than Long Haochen.
With her helping Long Haochen, Long Xingyu felt quite relieved.
Sensing Long Xingyu's satisfaction, Sheng Cai'er lowered her head in embarrassment.
During the previous special training, Sheng Yue had given Sheng Caier a lot of secrets about the alliance.
He knew that if his granddaughter wanted to follow Long Haochen and not fall behind, she must learn more knowledge.
Although Long Haochen was born in the Long family, and his father and grandfather were Divine Seal Knights, in the past nine years, he had never been exposed to any secrets of the top leaders of the Temple Alliance. He was expected to find out in the past two months.
It is almost impossible to practice, fight, and study the secrets of the alliance.
Therefore, there must be a "know-it-all" around Long Haochen to make people feel at ease.
Long Xingyu looked at Long Haochen's hesitant expression and slowly explained, "In some border cities in our alliance, there is a group of special merchants, they are called free merchants.
These free traders are engaged in buying and selling between humans and demons. Although it sounds disgusting, it has to be said that they are the source of many important resources. This is true for both humans and demons.
.”
"For example, in our Holy Alliance Auction House, a large part of the items come from wandering merchants. Because they got many things back from the demons.
Similarly, the demons also need them to obtain some resources from us, such as food, medicinal materials, etc.
Therefore, these free traders are caught between the two major forces of humans and demons. They are free from the outside, and neither side will deliberately care about their existence.
Of course, it is not easy for those who can become free traders, not only us humans, but also some high-level demons."
Hearing Long Xingyu's words, Long Haochen opened his mouth in surprise.
In his impression, the demons and humans are two races that are incompatible with each other. Whenever they see each other, they will definitely fight to the death. Now there is actually a middleman between the demons and humans?
If interests really come first, you can even ignore your own racial sentiments?!
Although Long Haochen was a little unhappy in his heart, but hearing that his father recognized the importance of independent businessmen, he naturally would not show his emotions externally.
"Dad, what do you mean, let us find a way to contact these wandering businessmen, try to get into their ranks, and thus enter the demon clan?"
Long Haochen understood what Long Xingyu meant. If he could enter the hinterland of the demons without attracting their attention, that would definitely be the best choice.
Free businessmen only care about money. As long as they give enough money, what will happen if they lead two unknown people into the hinterland of the demon clan.
Sheng Cai'er nodded, but she had overlooked such a method.
Free merchants are existences that neither humans nor demons pay any attention to. After all, they are too "dark", so as long as they blend in, they should be able to safely enter the demon territory even if the demons are heavily guarded.
"Free traders will not live in border fortresses. It is not safe for them. There is a city not far ahead, Xingxun City. According to the alliance's investigation, there are free traders there.
If you want to go deep into the central area of the demon clan, you need to pass through at least four provinces of the demon clan. It is completely unrealistic to simply sneak in or directly kill them.
Although the Demon God Emperor has not discovered that Haochen you can destroy the Demon God Pillar, but under the current situation of comprehensive martial law, the demon clan's search near the border must be the most stringent. Even if you are just two people, the target will not be much smaller."
Long Haochen nodded slightly, and then glanced at Sheng Cai'er in front of him. He stepped off the back of Star King, "Then we will go to Xingxun City to rest for a while, replenish food and water, and contact the free merchants at the same time.
"
Now that the alliance has investigated clearly, it is obvious that the alliance managers in Xingxun City must have a way to contact the wandering merchants, and they no longer have to search everywhere in the dark.
When heading to Xingxun City, Long Xingyu no longer followed Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er. He wanted to go to the Warrior Temple Fortress on the southeast border to remind the master of the Warrior Temple to make some noise.
As long as the movement in the Warrior Temple is a little louder, the pressure on Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er will be less.
"Since we are looking for help from free merchants, we must be careful to conceal our identity. Cai'er, use that one."
After watching their father leave, Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er chose to rush to Xingxun City on foot. After all, Star King's goal was too obvious!
When approaching Xingxun City, Long Haochen reminded Sheng Caier to take out two badges.
The badge looked ordinary, and when it was placed on the plain coats they deliberately wore, there was no inconsistency.
And just after they took out their badges, the somewhat immature faces of Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er actually matured a lot in an instant. At the same time, their delicate faces were also made a little gloomy by various dark lights.
The camouflage badge is a gadget created by a master unknown to the Temple Alliance. It can slightly change one's appearance and aura. It is difficult to see through it unless the strength of the wearer is greater than that of the wearer.
With the current strength of Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er, ordinary eighth-level experts may not be able to see through their disguises, and under this disguise, their unique heights and looks are hidden.
Already.
After paying the city entry tax, Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er held hands and checked into an ordinary tavern in Xingxun City like an ordinary couple.
Because this place was close to the border and there was a mixture of fish and dragons, the two did not go looking for the administrator of the Temple Alliance at the first time. Instead, they started wandering around Xingxun City.
Maybe it’s because of the existence of wandering merchants. Xingxun City is just a small frontier town, but the treasures in its auction house surprised both Long Haochen and Sheng Cai’er!
At a large-scale auction held once a month, damaged epic-level armor unexpectedly appeared. You must know that even if this armor is damaged, the defensive power it can exert will definitely exceed that of the top-level brilliant-level armor!
"It really opened my eyes."
Long Haochen's eyes were on the armor that had been photographed away. He sighed, his eyes dark.
He could tell that the armor belonged to a knight. Although he didn't know whether the knight was a guardian knight or a disciplinary knight, judging from the location of the damage, which was on the heart, it was very likely that the senior knight was
Already dead.
"Let's go."
Sheng Cai'er shook his head. They couldn't attract other people's attention, so even if they had money, they couldn't bid casually, not to mention that there was indeed no treasure that really tempted them in the auction.
After leaving the auction house, Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er walked around Xingxun City. Because the two of them had disguised their figures and appearances, and they didn't act too showy, no one noticed Xingxun at all.
There are two more talented people in the city who are waiting for an opportunity.
Long Haochen's caution is justified. Since there are wandering merchants here, it is natural that there may be wandering merchants from the demon clan. The more careful you are, the greater the security will naturally be.
After two days, Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er finally visited Xingxun City. At the same time, they also secretly contacted the managers of the Temple Alliance in Xingxun City.
When he knew that the two of them were going to use the channels of free merchants to enter the hinterland of the demon clan, the manager who looked like a smiling tiger directly asked his subordinates to contact the channels without saying a word.
It's not that he doesn't take Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er to heart, but if he comes forward, the free merchants will definitely be alert. After all, Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er want to disguise themselves as harmless ordinary people and enter the demon territory.
of.
The person working for this manager was one of his nephews, and it only took him an hour to bring a middle-aged man to the place where Long Haochen and Sheng Caier stayed.
"Brother Long, this is Dianxuan, the steward of the Yueye Merchant Group and the chief of guard. I heard that you wanted to find someone to take you to the central province, so I came here in person."
The administrator's nephew didn't seem to care much, and his constant look outside made people think that he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that Dianxuan did not have any vigilance.
There are countless people who want to hitch a ride on free merchants, and their Moon Night Merchant Group is the leader among free merchants. He has dealt with too many such things.
"Why do you two want to go to the central province?"
Dianxuan asked curiously, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Although he was not wary, he doubted the true identities of the two people in front of him!
Judging from their appearance, the two of them were only in their twenties at most, so they could be considered unremarkable.
Looking at their clothes, they are simply ordinary and could not be more ordinary. If there is nothing special, why would they go to the central province of the demon clan?
Although the people behind the Moon Night Chamber of Commerce are very powerful and are not afraid of any interference from outside forces, Dianxuan still does not want to cause trouble if it is not necessary.
If Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er were members of the Demon Hunting Group, he would have made the arrangements without saying a word.
But if the two people in front of him were traitors to mankind, although he would not reject their idea of joining the group, he would not give them a good look either!
Even though the two people in front of me were introduced by the administrator’s nephew!
