Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 562 White Demon Disaster Cloud

After observing for a full day and night, Wang Teng realized that his worries were unnecessary; guarding the place for so long was a waste of time.

Those temple mages truly lived there without a care in the world, as if the "thin" barrier surrounding the Statue of Liberty had become their most trusted ally.

This "partner" issued no warnings and seemed to be asleep in the face of Wang Teng's methods, allowing the temple mages to also fall asleep peacefully.

"No wonder Leng Jue was able to manipulate them so easily, and even steal their collection of dangerous items."

Seeing this, Wang Teng shook his head. If you place too much faith in the array's restrictions, then at crucial moments it's as if there are no restrictions at all.

Since restrictions are created by humans, they will naturally have hidden doors or loopholes; this is almost unavoidable in array restrictions.

This kind of thing can be seen from the world prison of the Twin Guardian Pavilion. It is said that once you enter, you never get out, but Mochizuki Chika knows how to sneak in.

The internal Red Devils are also basically able to ignore restrictions and barriers or parasitize people outside.

Another reason why the people in the temple were too confident in the restrictions might be that the access restrictions set up below blocked most people.

Wang Teng left the Statue of Liberty in New York quietly; there was nothing left for him to pay attention to.

As he returned, passing the Pacific coastline, he discovered a white continent near the island's outer waters.

In addition, the invincible sovereign Hydra is wreaking havoc on the Tokyo Sea battlefield, with countless sea monsters carrying towering waves crashing against the coastal land.

Tokyo, which has been plagued by sea monsters for many years, has a coastline made of sturdy stone dikes, which are generally not capable of being breached by sea monsters.

Furthermore, the Tokyo sorcerers were clearly very experienced in resisting sea monsters and were well-prepared, with the entire coastline of the base city covered by array formations.

Their offensive and defensive capabilities are in no way inferior to those of the Sirens. Tokyo is one of the world's four major sea battlefields, and it gathers a large number of mages from all over the world, so there is no shortage of mages.

The invincible hydra, the Hydra, was roaming the sea battlefield, fighting against the high-level mages within the formation. In addition, the aura of forbidden spell mages was also emanating from it, clearly a deliberate leak, carrying a very strong warning.

"Emperor Salamander?"

Wang Teng, standing in the dimensional rift, surveyed the battlefield below. The white continent was an aggregate of countless white salamanders.

Beneath the white continent below, he clearly sensed the aura of an emperor, though its intensity was rather limited, even weaker than that of the Dragon King Ant Queen.

However, the opponent's defense is so strong that even a forbidden spell mage might not be able to break through it. In addition, given the nature of this group of demons, the damage can easily be spread out by the Salamander Emperor.

This is almost a unique ability of this type of demon!

"It doesn't seem like a fight will necessarily break out. The forbidden spellcaster and the Emperor are locked in a battle from a distance, while the rest will be fought by the forces below."

Wang Teng lost interest after watching for a while. Under normal circumstances, a siren that is not very strong will not fight to the death with a human forbidden spell mage.

No matter how fierce the fighting below was, it was all minor skirmishes. No matter how many low-level sea monsters died, it was insignificant to this powerful demon group.

He stepped across the strip-shaped island nation and entered the skies above Yaoyang City. With his eyesight, he could also see small groups of sea monsters attacking the battlefield off Seoul.

The seawater here has gradually changed color due to the presence of the naval battlefield and poor circulation. It appears to be particularly turbid and dark red due to the continuous fighting.

"It's really lively here in Asia..."

Wang Teng withdrew his gaze and teleported back to the top floor hall of the castle.

"Huh? Can you please stop popping up like that? You're trying to scare me to death!"

Jiang Shaoxu touched her chest and couldn't help but complain to Wang Teng, who had suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

"Haha~ You know my abilities and characteristics."

Wang Teng chuckled and kissed her on the lips before settling down on the sofa with a contented expression.

The head maid immediately ordered the maids to serve tea, snacks, and pastries, emphasizing their exquisite and deliciousness.

Where are they?

Wang Teng sensed that only Jiang Shaoxu was in the castle, which was quite unusual.

"Let's go see the ice sculptures!"

"An ice sculpture festival was held in the commercial district square, attracting ice sculpture enthusiasts from all over the world to create art with generous rewards."

"Lin Yunxi said it was to enhance the city's artistic atmosphere and, incidentally, elevate its cultural significance, thereby driving up property prices!"

Jiang Shaoxu sat down as she spoke. She had originally planned to go back to her room to rest, but since it was a rare opportunity to run into Wang Teng, she decided to sit with him for a while.

"Raise it again? I remember it's already quite high, isn't it? Don't let Yaoyang City become deserted by then."

Wang Teng was speechless. These guys really lived up to their reputation as conglomerates; there was no limit to how much they could raise prices.

"No, I read the report. The number of tourists has surged in the last month or two, and almost all of them are wealthy people coming to buy property."

"The reason? I feel safer here!"

Jiang Shaoxu glanced at him as she spoke, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that everything was caused by him.

"The buildings in Yaoyang City are all planned and laid out in detail, so the housing supply is relatively limited, and the main focus is on high-end and classy."

"Therefore, the supply has been insufficient for a long time recently, and they have introduced a series of measures to address this."

Even so, it is still inevitable that prices will be repeatedly driven up by the market in free market transactions.

"Those measures include restrictions on individual home purchases, such as allowing only one home to be owned; buying more than one would be a violation and an excessive use of public resources."

"As for shops, they are also subject to purchase restrictions. For example, only citizens who own villas in the inner area are eligible to buy them. Those who do not meet the requirements are considered to be illegally occupying public resources."

"Once these violations are discovered, they are all confiscated and huge fines are imposed, and a lot of taxes are also collected."

Jiang Shaoxu casually gave a few examples and briefly recounted the events that had occurred in Yaoyang City to Wang Teng.

"Isn't this a series of interconnected events?"

After listening to her words, Wang Teng thought for a moment and finally understood one sentence: "Give me the money!"

"What else? But they also know how to maintain a balance, and they're constantly launching events to liven up the city's pace of life."

"At the same time, we are constantly upgrading various surrounding lifestyle industries, such as supermarkets, auction houses, and super malls, which are all increasing."

"There's even a super magic arena being considered for a location..."

"The money is coming in too fast! Yaoyang City currently has an alarming amount of liquid cash. If it weren't for the high housing prices and various restrictions, the development speed here would be several times faster!"

Jiang Shaoxu was also shocked by the fervor of those wealthy people; they really didn't care about money at all.

As a result, wages for service jobs here are rising rapidly, and many Seoulites are flocking here to work and make a fortune.

The maids below the castle have also received a pay rise, now earning 20,000 per month, basically keeping pace with the outside world.
