The Ufa Forest is not dead this winter. In this season of death, it is full of different vitality. The rise of the Kotu tribe and the death of the Pig King have broken the balance. Unknowingly, as long as you take refuge,
Rumors spread radioactively that one can have enough food and clothing in the Great Forest of Ufa.
Many hungry and desperate demons came to this big forest one after another to seek refuge with the owner of the forest, but most of them were small scattered teams with no shelter. The demon king placed them in a temporary camp, led by kobolds and semi-humans.
The horses are managed and trained by the horse clan.
They will become the first army in the Ufa Forest.
At the base camp of the Ufa Forest, bursts of green smoke came out of a huge chimney, and there was a constant tinkling sound coming from the house.
"Simple tools can be used, but rotating grinding and cutting tools are... useless. Simple sandpaper can still be used for manufacturing."
The tall and thin blacksmith stood in front of the Demon King, lowering his head slightly and saying uneasily. He was wearing black overalls. Behind him was a blazing furnace. Several human blacksmiths and mouse tribes were working together.
.
"That's not possible. Gemstone processing requires precision tools, otherwise the quality of the processed products will be very poor."
Mel frowned and said, and the Demon King thought for a moment. He originally thought that as long as there was a blacksmith, he could produce the tools she needed, but it seemed that there were still many things missing.
"Does that mean there's no way to produce it?"
asked the devil.
"Yes, yes, at least the current conditions can't help it."
The blacksmith replied weakly.
The processing of gemstones suddenly ran into difficulties.
Mel looked at the devil, she didn't know what decision he would make.
"Well, all we have to do is spend money."
"Spend money?"
Mel was confused.
Then they came to the official house and met the Queen Mother who was yawning and bored.
"Where are you going?"
She couldn't help but wonder when she saw the Demon King put away his horns and transformed back into his terrifying human appearance.
"Go shopping."
The devil got dressed.
"I'll go too!"
Although she didn't know where to go, the Queen Mother felt that it would definitely be interesting, so she hurriedly said.
"Forget it, we are going to the territory of humans, and your appearance will definitely scare those humans," the Demon King said.
Hearing this, Mel, who was sitting aside, was suddenly shocked.
Human territory? He wants to go to human cities?
No! Are you?? Is he going to take me there?
Mel suddenly lost her composure. She thought it would be difficult for her to have contact with people outside, but she didn't expect that she might have to meet people outside today.
While the Queen Mother was still making a fuss, Mel asked weakly: "Master, do you plan to let me go too?"
Hearing this, the Demon King turned around, looked at her differently, and said, "Of course, I don't know what you need."
"Hey! Don't ignore me! I'm going too!"
The Queen Mother grabbed the Demon King's collar, shook him, and said.
"Then you should at least wear some clothes and look like a human being!"
The Demon King scolded.
Mel didn't hear the conversation between the two, and she became nervous.
Perhaps she would have a chance to escape and seek help from others.
half a moment later
"I said!! This is all right!"
Wearing a slender windbreaker, knee-high boots, leather gloves on both hands, a living white mink around her neck, and a big black hat, the Queen Mother was completely covered in clothes.
Only a face as white as milk was revealed.
The Demon King sighed and said, "I'm not here to play. Why do you have to follow me?"
The Queen Mother frowned, put her hands on her hips and said, "It's not because you are too bored here. If you don't take me there, maybe I will be too bored, and then go to the forest to find something to kill."
Hearing this, the Demon King shook his head. Although this special creature is a powerful ally, the problem is that contract magic cannot have the desired effect. It is actually the first time he has seen it resist its master.
"Forget it, let's go, just don't cause any trouble for me."
"Hehe, this is so ridiculous!"
The Queen Mother said with a smile, and then the Demon King turned around and looked at the nervous Mel. The Demon King knew exactly what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything.
"Let's go, come here."
"Ah? Yes!"
Mel came to his senses and trotted behind the Demon King. Suddenly, the Demon King snapped his fingers, and the wall in front of them immediately unfolded, revealing a huge mirror. The mirror emitted a ray of light and enveloped them.
Three people.
When the light disappeared, Mel found himself in a completely unfamiliar place. This was another room. There was a mirror behind him and a table in front of them. A man in a formal dress was lying on the table and breathing.
Huge sleep.
The devil came to the table, and suddenly the man felt something and his snoring stopped.
"Arcas, it's time to get up and work."
The devil said coldly.
The man called Arcas immediately opened his eyes, stood up in a panic, wiped his mouth, and said: "Lord! Master! Why are you here?"
This Arcas was the person who was replaced by Mikki after being killed by the killer Liuliu. It can enter the body of the dead and peek into their memories, so it is difficult to find out that this Arcas is a fake.
At this time, Mel on the side covered her mouth in shock.
Arcas? That deer-headed Earl Arcas?! He is actually a subordinate of this demon clan?
Suddenly, a sense of fear filled her heart. She felt that the world she knew was just the bottom of a well. She didn't know how many of the people she had come into contact with before were the demons' subordinates.
"It's nothing, I just came to buy some things. Have you done what I asked you to do?"
"He, he's working on it. He's almost ready."
Arcas said weakly, he did not dare to sit down and could only stand with his head bowed. He glanced at Mel and thought to himself that the dangerous guy was here, why would there be a human beside his master.
"By the way, give me some money."
The devil suddenly said.
"Why?"
Arcas was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand.
Taking a bag of gold coins, the three people left the castle.
"It's really dirty and smelly. What the hell is this place?"
The Queen Mother complained, and the three of them came to a street. There was a lot of traffic here, but the road was full of potholes, filled with snow and ice, and it was very slippery to walk on. People coming and going were all wrapped up tightly, with almost only their eyes exposed.
, everyone is mysterious and sneaky.
But this is indeed the largest trading place in the western region. It is backed by the sea. Due to terrain problems, surrounding countries must pass through if they want to go south to the Dragon Boat Empire or the Luas Empire, so the merchants here are all from
All over the world, products are naturally very diverse.
But it’s not just complicated.
Arcas, the manager here, does not impose strict restrictions on the goods that can be circulated. As long as you pay taxes, your goods can come in no matter what they are.
Therefore, this is a helpless place for merchants. They will trade some goods that cannot be put on the table, and the place for trading is the famous Stongu City.
