Beta is not a dark creature. What do you want this kind of negative energy crystal to do? Even if it is used as a magic material, it is rarely used.
"I think your strength as the city lord is a bit weak. It's better to strengthen it." Beta said half-truthfully: "These things have little effect on me, so I might as well use them for you."
Angela kept looking at Beta, as if trying to tell the truth from what he said, but Beta looked at her calmly.
It was Angela who couldn't bear it first and looked away.
"Okay, I see." Angela waved her hand angrily, "I'll ask Martha to bring you a hundred gold coins."
Coming out of the palace, Beta returned to his room to rest.
He hadn't slept for dozens of hours, and he was a little tired.
After habitually setting up a warning, harmless little magic trap at the door, Beta entered the space of the mansion.
After sleeping for three hours, Beta reappeared full of energy, just as Martha came to him with a hundred gold coins.
A stone box with a very simple and rough shape.
Most of the Demon Realm are luminous ferns, and there are no trees, so most of the containers here are made of stone.
"The money is here. One hundred pieces, click it." Martha looked at Beta, with some disbelief on her long face: "You actually gave such a valuable thing to the Queen, don't you really Want to have sex with the Queen?"
Beta sighed helplessly, why did the succubus always think of these questions. But when I thought about it, I thought it was normal.
** is the nature of succubus, and it is also the skill they rely on to survive in the devil world.
When they get benefits, they will subconsciously think that it is reasonable for the other party to want to have sex.
Beta waved his hand, not wanting to explain anything, but said, "Can you please gather the blacksmiths in the city?"
Martha nodded.
About an hour later, Beta was sitting in a somewhat narrow stone house, which was his 'office'.
There are more than a dozen demons sitting opposite. Compared with ordinary demons, their evil aura is much less.
These are lawful evil daedra, mostly mind flayers.
Although the "face-changing technique" of the mind flayer is a very troublesome thing in the human world, it is not so practical in the demon world.
Because many demons recognize people by smell and magic power fluctuations, not just by appearance.
As a result, many mind flayers devote their energies to honing their craft.
The intelligence of mind flayers is quite high in the demon world, so they can achieve some achievements in skills. But that's all.
If combat skills can be improved in battle, then life skills can only be improved in a peaceful or relatively stable environment.
Although it is said that war is the catalyst for upgrading various weapons, at least the technicians must be guaranteed a short and stable life. No matter how smart a person is, there must be a period of time to learn this knowledge.
But the devil world is so chaotic that there is no time for this.
Many things are figuring out by myself during the occasional few days of stability, and the things that are figuring out are likely to disappear due to turmoil in a few days or a few years later.
People are dead!
nothing left.
There is no decent inheritance at all.
Looking at this group of blacksmiths, Beta took out a stack of papers he had prepared earlier, and said: "This is what I wrote down when I was in the human world. Some basic forging skills, as well as experience in building and using furnaces. It's not very comprehensive. But I think it should be much better than what you guys messed up yourself."
Hearing this, the craftsmen's eyes lit up.
Although human beings are weak chickens in the eyes of the demons, they have to admit that human craftsmanship far surpasses them.
Regarding Beta's words, they believed very much. Firstly, Beta was a human being, which strengthened his convincing power. Secondly, as a strong man, as a sheriff, he didn't need to lie to himself, these lowly craftsmen.
"I can give things to you, and the content must not be revealed, and from then on, you must be attached to the Succubus for the rest of your life, and you must not work for other races or city lords. If you agree, you can stay. If you don't agree, You just live as before, understand?"
Martha looked at Beta in surprise.
The expressions of a group of craftsmen were a little hesitant.
If they can get the casting skills of humans, then their skills will definitely improve a lot in the future. At that time, why should they stay in this small city of succubus and go to the city of the big commander and big devil? How many benefits
At that moment, a mind flayer craftsman said, "Officer Li Lin, can we buy these technologies with money?"
Beta looked at him amusedly and asked back: "Do you think I'm someone short of money? Besides selling to you poor ghosts, why didn't I sell to the big lord? The money is much more, you really think I'm stupid? "
A group of craftsmen have nothing to say.
Finally one of the mind flayer artisans stood up and left.
Then they left one by one, and only four blacksmiths remained.
Martha's expression was a little ugly, and Beta could even feel a faint killing intent on her body.
"There is no need to do anything to them for the time being." Beta said slowly: "If they stay in the city obediently, as usual, then forget it. If they leave within a few days... kill whoever can be killed. "
Martha nodded.
Beta gave some basic forging techniques for humans, and the original intention was to provide some technical support to Erbu City. He didn't want these technologies to spread throughout the Demon Realm. Because of this, the demon world will have better quality weapons and armor in a few years, which will definitely cause greater harm to the human world.
Why give it to Erbu City
Beta discovered in the past few months that the succubus is actually very close to humans.
Even some fallen humans are friendly to them. Since ancient times, summoners have summoned a lot of succubi, and there has never been a succubus killing all directions or causing harm to one party.
A race that is instinctively close to humans, Beta thinks it can win over.
When it comes to the battle between humans and demons, maybe they can instigate rebellion, and even if they can't instigate rebellion, they can still remain neutral.
If it's really a case of instigation, it will really make a lot of money.
Succulents don't have much of a disadvantage except that they love sex. And the private life of the nobles is comparable to that of the succubus, there is no difference.
If you can stand nobles, you can stand succubus.
In view of this reason, Beta feels that it is possible to make a certain human investment in the succubus.
And now, it's just a preliminary attempt.
The four remaining blacksmiths were naturally 'protected' heavily. From now on, their lives and needs will be met and controlled by the Succubus.
One hundred gold coins are used to buy them materials, utensils and so on.
Of course, due to the scarcity of resources in the Demon Realm, the purchased succubi need to go farther to find what they want. It takes time.
In the next few days, most of the blacksmiths who left were very content. Of course, the bodies of a few people appeared outside the city, and were eaten by the flame goblins as delicacies.
When Angela found out about this, she snorted: "As expected, some of us in the Demon Realm value reputation. But Li Lin's actions made us owe him a great favor."
Martha said indifferently: "Then continue to owe it, anyway, it's all my own."
Angela shook her head: "You don't understand. Human kindness is very important."
"Didn't you just go to the human world once? What's the point?" Martha made a grimace: "One day, I will also go to the human world, and then 'eat' many men, making them all mine The minister under the skirt."
Angela said lightly: "We succubus only wear high-cut tights, not skirts."
Martha was so angry that she had nothing to say, she snorted and turned around to leave.
"Tsk, everyone is so arrogant, I'm the queen."
That's what I said, but Angela didn't mean to be angry at all.
In the human world, Sophia and her daughter Barbara arrived in Woking City in an instant by using a large teleportation array.
Although teleportation magic circles have been built in the main cities of Hollevin, the price of three silver coins per trip is doomed to be a way of travel that can only be enjoyed by dignitaries.
Ordinary civilians grit their teeth and try something new, but for them, it is more cost-effective to take a horse-drawn carriage or take a boat from the canal.
Now Hollevin's land and water routes are extremely smooth, and the travel time is not only greatly shortened, but no matter the water or land route, there are guards from the Temple of Fortune patrolling regularly, which is very safe.
It has been a long time since I have heard of any robbery by road bandits and water tyrants.
Coming out of the teleportation array, there are bustling crowds in front of you.
I don't know how much more prosperous it is than Neverwinter.
And there are many races here, in just two or three minutes, Barbara has already seen elves, cat people, fox people, werewolves, etc...
Sophia brought Barbara to the City Lord's Mansion, and after reporting her name, she was received by Shirley.
The extremely beautiful and coquettish Shirley happily held Sophia's hand. After chatting with her for a while, she asked, "Are you here for a trip this time?"
"I want to trouble you with something, but it's not me, it's my daughter."
Shirley looked at Barbara, nodded and said, "Long time no see, Ms. Barbara."
Out of respect for Kyle, Shirley also gave Barbara enough face.
Barbara was drinking a glass of mead, which was sent by the elves... It was quite delicious, with a little sour taste in the sweetness, which made people have endless aftertastes.
After taking a deep breath, Barbara said: "In fact, this matter is also beneficial to your god religion. For the sake of my husband and me, can you take the initiative to negotiate peace with the red-magic tower and recall Leier at the same time?" Deng's army?"
"What!" Shirley felt that she had heard it wrong, and she looked at Sophia in disbelief.
And Sophia said apologetically: "I just came here to prevent things from getting out of hand."
Shirley looked at Barbara for a while, then asked, "Is this what Kyle meant?"
