Afternoon tea at the Swamp Mother went on as scheduled.
The flowers in the garden have been replaced by wild growing weeds and shrubs. Cleaning them is no longer a troublesome problem. The only option is to pull them all out and replant them.
"You ruined my carefully cultivated garden...but that's not bad."
The Mother of the Swamp walked through a path overgrown with weeds that looked like an abandoned house, and led the guests to a round table that had been cleared by a busy maid.
Lu Li was about to start trade cooperation between the Land of Light and Hell, but was interrupted by Elena.
"She said that the priority right now is not this." Distorted Shadow said for his sister, "What could it be?"
Elena's grunts were translated by the Distorted Shadow: "You need a new body."
Everyone who was happy later realized that Lu Li was just a soul at this time - an illusion, without entity, and shining with light.
"I can alchemize a body for you, which is guaranteed to be more useful than the original body." Chris made coffee.
"Can I add cat ears and a tail?" Claire said.
Lu Li rejected them. To a certain extent, the soul form was more convenient.
"But you can't touch, you don't have consciousness, you don't need sleep..." Tesla was worried about this.
"Actually, it's not a bad thing." Chris pushed her coffee in front of Lu Li, "After getting rid of the body, you can perceive the reality of the world more clearly, and if you take back Midnight City, you will have a chance to restore your original body."
Lu Li ignored the coffee in front of him.
"The Earth dweller trading company and the swamp have occupied it. It's not time to fight against them. The land of light needs to be developed..." Mother of the Swamp said.
There will eventually be a battle between the Land of Light and the Earth-dwelling Trading Company, but not now. The Twisted Shadow has not yet formed a closed loop to block the strange fog. It will only collide with them when the Land of Light resolves the hidden dangers and prepares to gather all the human power it can muster.
time.
This topic led to the official cooperation with Hell.
The devil's daughter, who had been enjoying the atmosphere of the Land of Light for a long time, said, "How do you plan to cooperate?"
“Supplementing each other’s needs”
The land of light lacks population and needs resources, strength, and people who can work. Hell can replenish the population and has massive minerals and labor. As for strength... there is no difference between a child and a high-level demon before the evil spirit ritual.
Beings like women who can withstand curse titles can be exempted from evil spirits rituals.
But demons still have their uses,
Fight against some beings with no rituals, no beliefs, and possessing desires, such as ghouls.
When Lu Li proposed that Hell would send demons to build and protect the land of light, and to dig up minerals from Hell and bring them to him, the Devil's Daughter objected: "This is not equitable, only Hell is giving."
Everyone in front of the round table remained quiet, leaving Lu Li to negotiate with the Devil's Daughter.
"Because we are more urgent."
Lu Li's eyes fell on the Agate Lake Camp, which was covered with plants. The residents temporarily put down their things to clear the grass. Children grabbed the weeds and played and chased them. Occasionally, the breeze brought laughter and the sound of cutting.
"Sarkia needs it too. I want to build Ideal City."
"You have no enemy threat."
"...It is indeed not easy to protect the territory in strange times." The devil's daughter gave in a little and talked about other interests: "I agree to your request, but you want the residents to go to hell after death."
"no."
Residents who reach the end of their lives will be transformed into pagans or aliens. This may be difficult for some people to accept, but they have no choice.
While being protected by the Land of Light, they also want to protect the Land of Light.
"Then why should I promise you?"
Obtaining new souls is something that the Devil's Daughter must strive for. If the Land of Light does not intend to provide souls, the Devil's Daughter does not intend to cooperate in depth. Even if it and Lu Li once fought side by side.
"Is it okay to be human?"
"make a deal."
In addition, the Land of Light does have something to offer: blueprints.
Demons need to live, eat and excrete, and this requires reasonable urban planning. The Devil's Daughter cannot cope with it. Its demon minions, the Land of Light, or the Vena Dungeon have ready-made blueprints and scholars.
Andrea was still on the flight route, and it was too late to wait for it to return to the Wiener Dungeon to pick up people. So the Swamp Mother asked the merchants to collect blueprints from the Wiener Dungeon and select a few scholars from the Land of Light to accompany the Devil's Daughter.
hell.
A new contract emerged as the flames of hell burned, recording the cooperation and details between the Land of Light and Salkia.
"Don't worry, there are no traps this time."
But Lu Li still read every piece of content carefully, took out the feather pen that emerged and wrote his name at the end of the signature.
The burning contract means that it has been fulfilled. The devil's daughter, who can't wait to build a city as grand as the Abyss City, waits for the scholars to arrive and takes them back to hell.
The Stone Demon stayed. It was free and could do whatever it wanted as long as it did not violate the laws of the Land of Light.
The Mother of the Swamp is ready to let it stay forever - in the past period of time, every existence that has a good impression of the Land of Light has been managed by the Mother of the Swamp to stay, which has increased the number of strange residents from single digits at the beginning.
34.
The Devil's Daughter left, and the tea party turned into a real tea party. They talked about what happened in Lu Li's absence.
With the endless printing of shillings in the Vina Dungeon and the Terran Trading Company, the shilling has officially lost its monetary value. For some reason, Hades was kept in the dark; Elena's Church of the Vortex is on track, and Potter and Suffering from the Vortex
The cursed exorcist became a church priest, hoping to restore the original status quo; the Earth dweller trading company had some intentions not long ago, and seemed to want to target them, but the land of light is too far away, and no matter what those damn bastards want to do, there are ten

Sugard Mountain is almost completely under control. There are still some weird things wandering on the back of the mountain. Belfast has been completely cleared, leaving only the weird things that came with the weird fog and did not leave. However, the closed loop formed by the twisted shadow will be truly safe and the residents can be taken away.
Moving to Belfast; the number of human residents in the Land of Light exceeded 3,000, and the recovery of technology and alchemy; Andrea suffered a shipwreck half a month ago, and several new residents died, but one survivor was lucky enough to have

This girl named Pella has become the third batch of trainee exorcists in the Land of Light.
Then it was Lu Li's turn.
He recounted his legendary experience of killing demons in hell.
