The dwarf patriarch Andrei bent down to salute and Vlad returned the salute from beginning to end, which was faithfully recorded by the tauren Tuomu with his camera.
Tauren Tuomu knew that Vlad valued the authenticity of newspaper news and liked pictures and truth.
The photo faithfully records the grand occasion when the dwarf patriarch Andre, together with the dwarf warriors and local demons, warmly welcomed His Highness the Prince. The prince received the dwarf patriarch in a friendly and cordial manner.
...
The demons who were watching were talking a lot, and it is no wonder that they were talking about it. After living in this land for so long, the noble Lord had never seen it before, but this was the first time for His Highness the Prince.
Especially His Highness, such an unusual prince, who is dressed all over in plain and scary black clothes with no discernible material. A dagger used by nobles for decoration hangs from his waist. The black mud on his long boots has dried. Riding
Wearing the cheapest mount, except for the ring on his finger, there is no other noble ornament.
No one believes that he is a prince, but there are definitely many people who believe that he is a wandering swordsman.
"Are all princes so simple?"
"Isn't this prince a fake?"
"Clan Chief Andre greeted him personally, so it can still be a lie. But why is this prince different from the noble men in Hero City?"
"He is His Highness the Prince! He is so young, but why does he have no horns or tail?" A charming succubus murmured to himself as he touched his lovely horns and soft and naughty tail.
"It's so disappointing, so disappointing to the troll. His Royal Highness is too thin. Can his small body manage Methos well? I don't think highly of him!" The troll, who is about 2.5 meters tall, has two eyes, plus
One eye and three eyes on Vlad's forehead looked at Vlad's small body. He shook his head in disappointment, put the giant ax about 1.5 meters in his hand on his shoulder, turned around and walked away in disappointment.
...
When Vlad saw the demons pointing at him, he smiled and greeted the ferocious demons without caring.
It's quite embarrassing for those demons to talk to Vlad in person and belittle Vlad in private. You see His Highness the Prince greeted him with a smile on his face, so it would be a bit unkind to talk about him again.
In fact, His Highness the Prince has something in his heart that he really wants to say to them, "Hey, devils, it's time to pay taxes!"
There are many demon races in this small dwarf city, not just dwarves. Vlad saw many demons with the blood characteristics of blood demons, blue demons, succubi, trolls, living zombies, and of course some low-level demons with unawakened bloodlines.
In fact, in the Demon Moon Realm, demons are divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks.
Moon demons, fallen angels, dark elves, dragon-men, etc. are upper-level demons in the popular sense.
Such as blood demons, blue demons, succubi, trolls, zombies, etc. are middle-level demons.
As for lower-level demons, they refer to ordinary demons who have not awakened demon blood.
Why is it divided like this? Because the upper, middle and lower levels strictly divide the strength and potential of demons.
High-level demons can easily reach the realm of cultivation that middle-level demons need to work hard to achieve, and they can reach the realm of cultivation that lower-level demons cannot achieve in their lifetimes.
However, this division is increasingly unable to adapt to the reality of historical development.
In the war between gods and demons 30,000 years ago, the demons, who used tribes as their ruling and combat units, obviously could not defeat the light camp, which used the country as a unit and the various tribes cooperated with each other and was led by the gods.
In order to quickly adapt to war, recover from disadvantages, integrate the forces of various ethnic groups, and tap into war potential, countries in the demon world began to appear, and tribal rule and authority began to dissolve.
On the one hand, the forces and resources were integrated, and the war between the two sides began to change from one-sided to a protracted war.
On the other hand, various ethnic groups began to form purposeful political associations, and the tribe's binding force on individuals began to decline.
At first, political marriages were only a rare phenomenon, but gradually became common, and eventually led to social trends.
Nowadays, many demon bloodlines are very chaotic. Of course, it is very difficult to awaken demon bloodlines with chaotic bloodlines. However, a very small number of mixed-blood demons will be very powerful after awakening. For example, Archbishop Aurelius Mislanda is now a six-star wizard.
.
Therefore, high-level, middle-level, and low-level demons are no longer the standard for measuring the strength of demons. The demons have summarized a more precise method. The demons divide the branch professions into one to nine stars. At the legendary level, each profession will have corresponding
title.
Nowadays, upper, middle, and lower demons only refer to demon blood. For example, Vlad has the blood of the Moon Demon. You can call him an upper demon, but it does not mean that he is very powerful. He is actually a one-star demon.
A weakling who has not even reached the level of a fighter.
Of course, races like dwarves and goblins are not demons. They are immigrants, the kind who are really unhappy in the human world and spend a huge amount of money to use space barriers to wander into the demon world.
As for the undead and orcs, they are not demons, they are foreign invaders who invaded the Demon Moon Realm from the time and space barrier.
In addition to the human world, there is also a hell world, such as evil spirits, three-headed hell dogs, Medusa, magma monsters, etc. are all hell creatures.
...
Vlad had no idea that there were so many demons who had awakened their demonic bloodline in the small dwarf town, and these demons didn't pay taxes consciously at all. He was very sad, very sad!
Vlad and the dwarf leader Andrei greeted each other politely.
They walked side by side towards the west gate, followed by the tauren Tuomu and the dwarf warriors.
There was a group of dwarf warriors riding black tigers ahead, clearing the way for Vlad.
As for the dwarves Gillim and Balin, there was no trace. They probably disappeared somewhere.
Anyway, Vlad could see that the dwarves seemed to have consciously divided the tribe into two parts.
Some are warriors, such as the patriarch Andre and his men.
Some of them are dwarves who are engaged in production and farming, such as Gillim and Balin. From Balin riding a white donkey Bayik and chasing after the dwarf warrior riding a black tiger, Vlad had some clues. Now there are no dwarves.
Gilliam and Balin certainly confirmed his suspicions.
The dwarves Gillim and Balin were in the same situation as the white donkey Bayik. At this time, Vlad had not seen the white donkey Bayik who worked hard to carry him all the way for a long time.
Apparently the dwarf patriarch Andre thought that the white donkey Bayik was a disgrace to His Highness the Prince, so he thoughtfully asked a dwarf warrior to take them away.
Vlad liked the white donkey Bayik very much, especially for their stubborn temper, but he could not live up to the kindness of the dwarf patriarch Andrei.
Vlad walked on the neat black stone street, looking at the dazzling array of shops on the street, the crowded crowds, and the two-story stone houses behind the shops, he sighed, "The dwarf town is really prosperous!".
…
"Chief Andre, the dwarf city is developing very well."
"Hehe, Your Highness is so impressed. The main reason is that there are many merchants coming and going in the village. We dwarves only make weapons, protect the merchants, and entertain the guests with fine wine."
"Oh, guest? So I'm your guest too!"
"Of course, His Highness is the most respected guest of our dwarf village."
"Is there any wine?"
"Haha, that's natural. We have prepared the best wine to entertain His Highness!"
"Haha, that's great, but I think you are very humble, not like a straightforward and heroic dwarf."
Andre looked around and laughed, "I, Andre Siogong, am a descendant of Arelius, the God of War. I am the current leader of the dwarf clan. I have the purest dwarf blood. How can I not be a dwarf?"
Vlad stretched out his finger and shook it, "No, your body is that of a dwarf, and your soul transcends that of a dwarf. The dwarf city under your governance is unprecedentedly prosperous. In my opinion, even the hero city is not as prosperous as An."
Our Hero City needs talents like Mr. Andre very much, very much."
Vlad thought to himself that since you don’t pay taxes and no one is checking you, it has become a free trade zone and a black market. There must be countless businessmen who evade taxes, avoid taxes, and smuggle contraband. Devil adventurers, gold diggers, and criminals will only do this.
More, if it can't develop and prosper like this, then the people who manage the dwarf city are idiots.
"Uh..." Andre, the dwarf leader, was temporarily confused about Vlad's meaning and didn't know how to answer.
"I think our Hero City is lacking a city lord, and Chief Andre is just the right one!"
