Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

A new day, February arrives quietly.

The expedition team that broke into the lower city of Evernight City successfully escaped and returned to the outer tavern, bringing back a large amount of valuable monster materials and treasures.

All the monster users gathered here were boiling with excitement!

"The fruit of the Man-Eating Tree costs two hundred gold pounds each, and there are so many of them everywhere!"

"Look at this pure gold candlestick. If it were put up for auction, it would be worth at least a thousand pounds, right? But I found it in an uninhabited marginal house!"

"This painting is most likely an authentic work by an artist from four hundred years ago! If we could identify who that artist was... I can't even imagine how much it would be worth!"

Driven by alcohol and a desire to show off, some members of the expedition team took out some of their gains in the "City of Eternal Night", making the others around them jealous.

This was not even Ye He's design, but the benefits they actually found in the fringe area of ​​the lower city of Eternal Night City!
That’s right, the Belmont family has always had few members. Even if a powerful Belmont occasionally appears, he is too busy fighting with the City of Eternal Night.

These people are pure warriors and would not care about the value of Eternal Night City itself.

Under the catalysis of time and the breath of the abyss, everything that can move in the City of Eternal Night has turned into a monster containing the power of monsters.

Even those things that cannot be moved, if they are not tainted with monster properties due to the power of monsters, that is, some cursed properties, will at least become priceless because of their long history!
After all, the City of Eternal Night is the "City of Monsters" that existed before the founding of the empire.

The former City of Eternal Night was too powerful. Unless multiple Orthodox churches united to fight to the death, or someone sneaked in alone with the intention of beheading people like the powerful Belmont that appeared in history, no one could penetrate into the city.

Not to mention discovering the value of this city!

Backup support is also a big problem. Before the emergence of the Principality of Angela, adventurers exploring the City of Eternal Night could get a little support from some ordinary human towns.

The Principality of Angela sealed the City of Eternal Night for hundreds of years. By the time Ye He broke the seal and allowed the City of Eternal Night to reappear in the world, the principality had already collapsed due to war.

Fortunately, Ye He's tavern responded in time, otherwise at least 90% of the monster users present would have been lost due to the lack of backup support materials, and the situation would not be as excited as it is now.

Greed and satisfaction became the theme of the tavern tonight. People who indulged in dark things were reveling wildly in the tavern, accumulating energy for further exploration of the City of Eternal Night.

Human power is so dirty, but it works!
"Eternal Night Stage, come if you dare!"

Ye He returned to the Continental Hotel next to the tavern and released the carnival scene here to the whole continent, released the gains of the expedition team that broke into the Eternal Night City and returned, and spread the following slogan.

The monster masters who had been hesitant and did not come to the Principality of Angelabon also became active because of the news.

Ye He knew very well that more and more monsters would move here, and then, infected by the atmosphere here, they would recklessly join the new expedition team and advance towards the City of Eternal Night.

As long as Yehe "manipulates" public opinion a little during this period, even if these people begin to become greedy, they will not stop.

For this purpose, Ye He specially brought out [Despicable Prince] and [Disorder Prince] from the City of Eternal Night, and called Hannah over from Sedawell.

"This is Hannah, my head of public opinion. You can get acquainted later, but for now..."

After briefly introducing his intentions, Ye He handed over the task of guiding public opinion in the outer tavern to these three people.

The ability of [Despicable Prince] can change the direction of people's subconscious thinking, and the ability of [Disorder Prince] can turn the "disappointment" of those who are discouraged by setbacks into "anger" that makes them more courageous as they face more setbacks, thus directly changing their emotions.

With the help of these two witches, Hannah, who is already familiar with the means of manipulating public opinion, should be able to complete Yehe's task with ease.

After arranging all this in advance, Ye He briefly checked the material transportation channels, determined a series of matters regarding the "material price increase" with the Withering and Decaying Sisters who were in charge of this matter, and then quietly left the outskirts of Eternal Night City.

This time he did not go to the City of Eternal Night, but returned towards the Empire.

Hera, who arrived with Hannah, took herself and Ye He underground, and used special vines to form a train to quickly send Ye He to his desired destination.

On the evening of February 1st, Yehe and Hera appeared together at the Continental Hotel in Sigvig.

The person in charge of the hotel here is Tiffany's friend Jennifer, who, like Tiffany, is one of Hera's roses.

"Master Yehe! Mistress Hera!"

She was very surprised by Ye He's sudden arrival, but Ye He just waved at her:
"Hide the news that we're here, is that okay?"

"Yes."

Then Jennifer watched Ye He and Hera put on their cloaks and disappear into the night outside the door.

Before leaving the square in front of the Continental Hotel, Ye He glanced from afar at the Williamite Palace across the square.

A malicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and disappeared quickly.

"It reminds me of when we were in South Folia."

Hera still didn't know why Ye He had secretly come to the imperial capital, but it still felt good to walk in the city at night with Ye He.

"Haha, we have to be really careful this time. We can't be discovered by that old fox in the palace."

While giving instructions to Hera, Ye He took Hera deep into the alleys of Sigvig.

Sigvig is not as big as Cedarville, and it does not have as many alleys as Cedarville, but it is more spacious than Cedarville.

Many gray industries that are not suitable to be put on the table will appear in this kind of alleys.

Even William IV knew that this gray industry was inevitable.

The last time Ye He came to search the whole city for Aurora, he also helped William IV to eliminate a lot of overly "dark" gray industrial chains.

However, Ye He's visit this time was not a sudden whim, but an act of kindness to "clean up" the mess again.

"Yes, the timing is just right."

Outside a secret door that many people inexplicably entered, Ye He used a banknote to buy the qualification to enter for himself and Hera.

Hera was puzzled as to how Yehe did it. Those people were able to enter by showing their faces through the small window on the secret door.

But Ye He just knocked on the door, stuffed a banknote in, then pulled open Hera's cloak, allowing the gatekeeper inside to see Hera's beautiful and plump figure, and the gatekeeper opened the door for the two of them.

"Is it weird? Actually, it's not weird. This is a place for fun. I brought a girl with such a good figure here, so of course she is also a guest."

Ye He patted Hera's butt and casually explained to her the reason why the two of them were able to enter the house "normally". "I'll take it as a compliment."

The heartless Hera seemed to have forgotten that she was the mother of a teenage girl and happily hugged Ye He's arm.

This is also the reason why Ye He is happy to take Hera with him. In a sense, she is simple enough and loyal enough to himself. She has just been promoted to the ninth level and her strength is quite good.

Another person who can make Yehe so worry-free is Floy, but Floy was sent to the Federation by Yehe and is no longer in the empire.

Ye He’s next goal is to create a “financial storm” that will sweep across the entire continent!
In order to allow the Goddess Yingyue to obtain the priesthood of [Wealth], this is the first time that Ye He has taken the initiative to implement such a large plan. It is more troublesome than when the Poseidon Cult returned, and the scale of the plan is several times larger!
Back to the topic, Hera soon discovered that the "activities" in this building were actually nothing special to her.

It's nothing more than alcoholism, gambling, illegal boxing matches, and transactions of money and bodies that make strange noises in the dark.

These things are obviously not what Ye He cares about, nor are they the purpose of Ye He coming here.

Hera knew that Ye He would drink, but he never got drunk. He was always successful in gambling. Boxing? He might as well go to Evernight City to watch the battles between the expeditionary teams and the monsters up close.

As for women... Hera is not bragging. Now Hera feels that her training ability is very strong, so she is just waiting for Ye He to come and test her strength.

Ye He also led Hera through all the people along the way. When passing by the black boxing match ring, Ye He took a quick look at the ring.

A girl who looked underage was beating a burly man who was at least three times her size and whose arms were thicker than her waist.

This big man was no ordinary man. There were many scars on his naked upper body from swords and monsters' claws. The posture he used to block the girl's iron fist also showed some traces of military fighting techniques.

Ye He could see that this man was most likely a serving Royal Guard Knight!

A fully armored centurion team could chase after Hera now.

He was supposed to be out on holiday to have some fun, but now he was being beaten unconscious by a young girl.

Ye He still remembers this girl, her name is Ash, an orphan, a professional black boxer, and Ye He watched her debut fight half a year ago.

After paying a little attention and making note of Ash, Ye He continued forward, bringing Hera with him to a staircase.

Two big men who were looking at the ring excitedly were blocking the way to the upstairs with their strong bodies.

"Boss Ash is still strong... That guy must be a knight. He actually made it to the second round."

"That's about right. We've tested how heavy Boss Ash's fist is before...Isn't the metal pole she uses for boxing broken again?"

"Do you two have an appointment?"

While chatting, they did not forget their own jobs and soon noticed the approach of Yehe and Hera.

Just as Hera was curiously waiting to see how Ye He would pass through the guard of these two people, Ye He just said a term to the two people:
"squid."

"Okay, please go up."

When the two big men saw that Ye He's password was correct, they immediately made way for Ye He and respectfully made a gesture of invitation to them.

"How do you know the password?"

After stepping onto the stairs, Hera couldn't help but ask Ye He out of curiosity.

"There was an old fox who only tasted a bite of squid at dinner more than half a month ago."

Ye He was telling the truth, but Hera was confused.

When he brought Hera into a room that should belong to the owner of the club and let Hera see Grand Duchess Fafnir sitting on a lounge chair, Hera was completely dumbfounded.

"In fact, no matter what you say to them, they will let you up, Father."

Grand Duke Fafnir had already confirmed Ye He's identity without Ye He taking off his cloak.

This is what Hera should be more surprised about. You know, she brought Ye He from the Continental Hotel outside the Eternal Night City directly to the Continental Hotel in Sigvig, and then came here with Ye He wearing cloaks and hiding their identities.

During this process, no one should know their whereabouts except the two of them and Jennifer.

This is indeed the case. No one, including all the Williamites, knew that Ye He had arrived in Sigvig.

Even Grand Duke Fafner didn't know. He put a banknote on the coffee table in front of him, allowing Hera to see the words "I'm here" written by Ye He on the banknote. Only then did she realize that Ye He had taken the initiative to report his identity to this side.

Then why did he pull open his cloak and show off his figure before entering the door?
Another question came to Hera's mind. She could only be sure that Ye He had no special hobbies in this regard.

In fact, what Ye He wanted to show was not Hera's figure, and his explanation to Hera was just his casual nonsense.

What he really wanted to express was the word "woman", which was also a tacit code for him to meet Grand Duke Fafrner.

"Do you know that your act of meeting with me in private is enough to get me hanged by the emperor?"

Grand Duke Fafner complained to Ye He, but he was just joking and his eyes were full of laughter.

As the "God of Wealth" of the entire Laurent Empire, not to mention William IV, even the next generation William V had to rely on him.

Ye He first took Hera to sit on the sofa in front of Grand Duchess Fafner, then unceremoniously took the banknotes on the coffee table and put them into his pocket.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and said to Grand Duke Fafner in a shocking manner:
"I need you to quit your job and come over to help me."

Not to mention Grand Duke Fafner who was suddenly stunned, even Hera looked at Ye He with astonishment.

Asking a Grand Duke who has been doing a good job as the Imperial Finance Minister for decades to resign?

"…What salary can you offer me?"

Grand Duke Fafnir knew Ye He well enough to know that Ye He did not like to lie and even never lied.

What Ye He said means that he really thinks so!
"Are you interested in the identity of a favored person of the god who controls the [Wealth] priesthood and the job of controlling the economic lifeline of the entire continent?"

Ye He took off his cloak and gave Grand Duke Fafner an extremely "brilliant" smile. (End of this chapter)
