Chapter 93: The Small Demon Army’s Western Legion Unexpectedly Produced Two Outstanding Young Talents!
After easily resolving the "crisis" at the Port of Vancouver and giving guidance to Zakavido, the evil spirits of the entire Port of Vancouver began bustling with activity again.
Lolth and Isabella, at the agreed meeting point near the south gate of the Port of Vancouver, soon welcomed the arrival of the Old Harper trio who had bought a large quantity of building materials from the market.
Not only did they purchase a batch of common building materials such as stones, river sand, and timber at a reasonable price, they also arranged for the evil spirits’ transport team to deliver the goods directly and obtained a lot of magic materials specified by Lolth.
"Soul sand, Abyssal magic silk… the prices are surprisingly affordable!" Lolth calculated.
Lolth thought to herself.
Earlier, Zakavido gave her a large bag of Abyssal Crystals, after calculating the expenses and rewards, she found that this trip to the Port of Vancouver resulted in a good profit – she had about eight thousand Abyssal Crystals when she arrived and now it had increased to over nine thousand.
"Of course, it’s cheap, Lord Lolth. When those evil spirits and other demon races heard that we were here to work for you, they sold everything to us at a very low price," Old Harper praised, "You truly deserve your high reputation among the demon race, Lord Lolth!"
Lolth’s mouth twitched slightly.
She would rather not take advantage if it’s because of her high reputation!
Money is something she never lacks!
What Lolth lacks is peace and a stable life!
But now, it seems she is drifting away from that desired life.
"Let’s see how it goes!"
With these thoughts, Lolth took the magic bag containing magical materials from Old Harper and led everyone onto the carriage.
"The living conditions in the Port of Vancouver are not suitable right now. Let’s continue our journey, camp in the wilderness instead – I think it’s better than staying in Port of Vancouver."
"Indeed, Lord Lolth," Kanor nodded and said, "I caught a faint smell at the market…"
"If you go to the residential areas in the center and west, you will notice a strong smell… But it’s okay, things will get better next time, Zakavido is already taking care of it."
Lolth opened her hands and said.
"Really, so… what’s going on," Ann asked, "I noticed when I left that many evil spirits seemed to be digging the ground…"
Although Lolth originally intended to give Zakavido some face, since Ann asked, she decided to explain to everyone about the brain paralysis operation of this evil lord.
After listening, Harper and Kanor, two residents of the small town who didn’t have much prejudice against the demon race and had a good impression of Lolth, just marveled, "Master Lolth is truly wise," "No wonder Master Lolth has such a high reputation."
But these words had a slight impact on Ann.
"The landlady was really right, these demon races are not that bad, not just Lord Lolth as an example," she muttered in her heart, "even the evil lord is trying to improve the environment for the town residents…"
Although it sounds like following the orders of the demon king, at least it shows that the Demon Army intends to "treat the common people well."
Understanding the reason, she immediately removed the freshly planted Withered Spirit Rose, in Ann’s eyes, this kind of action was much better than most nobles!
Those noble gentlemen usually wouldn’t give up their own interests for the comfort or survival of commoners.
Among the group, only Isabella didn’t think that way.
"The hateful demon race, each one so cunning, resorting to such tactics to buy people’s hearts and weaken the resistance of commoners…"
The most cunning of them all is this succubus.
Compared to these clumsy demon race members, her methods in Hillenbrand Town are much more clever!
Of course, what Isabella herself is unwilling to admit is…
The Abyssal Demon is indeed not as brutal as rumored.
She just doesn’t want to admit that the demon race is not "evil," she can only change their label from "brutal" to "cunning" in her heart!
Otherwise…
Could this succubus, who took over her body, actually be a good person?
What about her own sacrifice then…
Isabella thought about this and felt her face flush.
There seemed to be a voice deep inside her suggesting a possibility she didn’t want to admit.
She discreetly raised her head to look at Lolth sitting in front of her in their dog cart, rummaging through magical materials in her magic bag.
"Ah-ha- – Miasma Silk, Soul Sand, powdered Purified Abyssal Crystal… The combination of these three can indeed greatly improve the efficiency of magic transmission… Now I can really create ‘that’!"
Watching Lolth’s beaming smile and listening to her words, Isabella involuntarily imagined the scene in her mind.
It looks like this demon race is going to research some evil things for war or torturing prisoners again!
However, this time, no matter what, she couldn’t convince herself.
Isabella started to doubt herself.
"Would she really do that?"
Such thoughts made Isabella even more uncertain.
"No, Isabella… you must not be charmed by her! It must be because the succubus charmed you in the past!"
She tried hard to push these thoughts out of her mind, but the more she forced herself, the harder it became.
However, Lolth sitting in front of her did not notice this.
Putting the magical ingredients back into her bag, she was surprised to see Kanor playing with a small cooking pot made of white iron.
"Kanor, is this what you wanted to buy at the market?"
She noticed that Old Harper had changed into a new pair of boots and covered his receding hairline with a headscarf.
Originally, they thought Kanor would buy some new clothes or toys, but they were surprised when this little one actually bought a cooking pot instead.
"I just thought the design was pretty – look, the engraved pattern is beautiful! And it’s a thoughtful gift from a friendly ghost, he said if it weren’t for the information from Lord Lolth, he would have been dragged back to the abyss waiting to be resurrected!"
Kanor hurriedly explained.
She thought it wasn’t the best time to apprentice now, after all, her own level was not strong enough, Master Lolth might likely refuse her.
Lolth also felt a bit regretful.
"Oh, I see…"
She had originally thought that finally there was someone interested in cooking.
Especially Kanor, when playing in the kitchen, she saw her helping a few times, always feeling her talent was quite good.
But this also reminded Lolth… she definitely could not tarnish her reputation anymore!
The next stop is Cassilda City, which belongs to the Qinma Principality where Achilles and Balrog reside.
After a long day of traveling and camping for the night, Lolth arrived near Cassilda City the next day. She watched the Balrogs replacing the moat with lava, paving the roads with hellstone, and lighting them on fire, covering her face in disbelief.
"I thought Zakavido was foolish enough… Achilles, you and he are both incredibly ‘talented’! I can’t tell who’s ‘better’!"
