Upon noticing the six people kneeling below, Shen Du instantly withdrew his oppressive aura, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
Since there are no demons in the East City, it will probably take some time to summon them back using the demonic energy of fire.
In any case, this task doesn't require a particularly powerful demon to do.
Human slavery is also possible, perhaps even faster than that of demons.
At this point, God spoke up: "I have something for you to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, the six human slaves looked completely bewildered. The demon was incredibly powerful; whatever he needed, they were the ones to do it.
Chapter 13 Magical Items, Xue'er
"What, you're not willing?"
"This palace has so many human slaves, and I'm not here to ask you for any favors."
"Besides, this is a good job. If you don't want to accept it, fine, but why are you looking so unwilling? Who are you trying to impress!"
Seeing the six people's displeased expressions, Shen Du coldly shouted.
In this ancient age of demons, human life is the least valuable thing.
Even if a demon slaughters countless slaves, he will not be punished in the slightest.
However, excessive slaughter would leave demons without slaves to serve them, which would lead higher-ranking demons to issue restrictive laws, much like humans in later generations.
If too many slaves are slaughtered, the higher-ups will send troops to hunt them down.
After a cold shout, the six men quickly recovered and hurriedly said, "We are willing to serve Your Majesty at all costs."
Seeing this, Shen Du's dissatisfaction vanished. He glanced at the woman who had spoken to him earlier and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Xue'er," the woman replied, kneeling and bowing her head, her voice trembling.
But the god didn't care and threw out the talisman tracker in his hand, which floated to Xue'er's front.
He said calmly, "Take it."
Xue'er looked up and a fierce red light swept across her, causing her to stagger backward in fright.
She seemed to imagine the ferocity in the demon's eyes when he came to her house, and a tear welled up in her eye.
"Pick it up, did you hear me? This thing is a magic item, what are you afraid of!"
The command from the capital city reached her ears. Xue'er's trembling body suppressed her fear as she stared directly at the six dragon heads that the talisman was tracking, and she forcefully gripped the handle below.
Seeing that she was unharmed, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, Xue'er's body was engulfed in flames, as if she were about to be burned to ashes.
"what!"
"It's so hot!"
In an instant, Xue'er collapsed and rolled on the floor of the main hall, her body being relentlessly burned by flames, causing her unbearable pain and screams of agony.
The other five people standing nearby felt a surge of relief.
Witnessing all this, Shendu frowned. As the owner of this magical creation, how could he not know that this thing had such a function?
But in the blink of an eye, the gods already knew everything.
This magical artifact is completely different from the talisman tracker that Shendu used in the original story.
This magical artifact bears the mark of the divine capital's authority over fire; once picked up, it will subject one to endless, scorching flames.
Even demon lords of the same level cannot easily withstand the power of the authority of other demon lords.
Having obtained this magical artifact, there is only one choice: destroy it.
"Am I going to die?"
The flames burned endlessly against Xue'er's body. Seeing this, the god activated the demonic power within him and withdrew the magical creation's ability to attack others.
Then, the flames subsided, and Xue'er lay in the main hall, barely clinging to life, as if she were about to ascend to heaven at any moment.
The slaves' clothes were not burned to ashes by the fire.
This is because the flame burns the soul, but does not harm the physical body.
"trouble."
Shen Du shook his head and whispered, then his dragon claw flicked out a phantom image of a dragon soul, which was engraved into Xue'er's forehead.
In an instant, the person who was on the verge of death came back to life.
As soon as she opened her eyes, stood up, and looked down at the magical artifact in her hand, she was immediately terrified and threw it far away.
But realizing that the gods were still there, he forced himself to hold onto the tracker, despite the fear of being burned alive again.
"Hey, I'm fine!"
Xue'er murmured with relief.
"Nonsense, of course you're fine. You have my demonic brand on your forehead."
Shen Du looked at her panicked appearance and said calmly.
At that moment, Xue'er came to her senses and immediately knelt down respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, what do you need to tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Du leisurely said, "Take this magical item and go to every corner of Huomu City. Use the functions of the six dragon heads to scan every human being."
“If five or six dragon heads emit blood-red eyes, bring them back; I will have their use.”
Xue'er seemed hesitant, but seeing this, Shendu said calmly, "What, can't you do it?!"
Upon hearing this, Xue'er shook her head repeatedly and said, "Ever since we were abducted and taken into the palace, the Demon Lord has not allowed us to leave this place."
“Once they leave, they will be considered rebels, and the slaves who escape the palace will be captured and beheaded in front of the other human slaves.”
She longed to leave this palace. She had been in the Demon Palace for three whole years, and she didn't know what had become of her parents and sister.
"You bear my demonic brand on your forehead. I am now the master of the entire City of Calamity. I have personally ordered you to step out of the palace. No demon dares to capture you!"
"If you do not recognize the demonic mark of me, the Lord of Fire, and the demons who want to capture you, you can use the power of your magical artifacts to burn those demons that stand in your way."
Do you understand?
As he uttered those words, Shen Du gazed at Xue'er with a meaningful look.
At this moment, even a fool would understand that the master of Huomu City was the demon before them.
Xue'er looked down at the demon-like magical artifact in her hand, then looked up to meet Shen Du's gaze.
Even knowing that the other party was an utterly wicked demon, Xue'er felt gratitude and respectfully said, "I understand."
"I will definitely bring back humans with five or six dragon heads and open eyes."
Her voice was faint and weak, but it was unusually firm.
Seeing this, the god waved his hand and said, "Step back, prepare to leave this palace, and complete my mission."
As soon as she finished speaking, the other five human slaves looked at Xue'er with envy, because they also missed their families.
The five were heartbroken. If only they had mustered the courage to stand up and speak to this devil.
This might give me the opportunity to step out of the palace.
As Xue'er and the five human slaves were about to step out of the hall, Shendu suddenly spoke: "Xue'er, don't disappoint me. You have a dragon-shaped mark on your forehead. Don't think about anything else, just do what I'm telling you."
Xue'er's heart skipped a beat, but she turned her head and forced a smile, saying, "This servant will not disappoint Your Majesty."
At the same time, the thought of escaping vanished from her mind.
The magical artifacts in her hands were her means of escaping Huomu City, but when she thought about the demonic mark of the capital city planted on her, where could she possibly run to?
Although she didn't know the methods of the Divine Capital, she vaguely sensed that she didn't want to experience that burning sensation all over her body again.
Afterwards, Xue'er completely left Shen Du's sight, while Shen Du also looked at the palace that had been destroyed by the hurricane.
In the blink of an eye, wisps of floating power restored the palace to its original appearance.
However, the shattered table could not be restored.
Chapter 14 Seven days to go on the expedition, let her go.
"Don't let me down. Bear my monarch's mark, find humans with exceptional magical talent, and bring them back."
"Only then can I study the difference between righteous magic and dark magic!"
As he uttered these words, the god closed his eyes and unleashed the immense power of the sheep god, allowing his soul to leave his body.
The dragon's soul manifested and flew away.
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Soul of the Divine Capital arrived in the western part of Huomu City, before Abel, who had followed him all the way.
Upon arriving at this place, the dragon soul materialized before him. The familiar aura caused Abel to kneel down, raising his hands in respectful greeting: "Welcome, Lord! May I ask what your commands are?"
"You two command almost entirely your dragon minions in other districts. Wouldn't it be better if you were in the East City with me?!"
"Ok!"
He spoke slowly and deliberately, and Abel immediately understood. Although God had not spoken directly, the intelligent Abel quickly grasped the meaning of his words.
He quickly bowed his head and said, "My lord, I will now order some of the evil dragons to return to the East City to serve you."
"However, does Your Majesty require me to return in person?"
"I am worried that the high-ranking demons who were previously loyal to the demon Calamity Abyss may harbor rebellious intentions."
"No need, just call back a few demons. This whole East City is full of humans, not a single demon."
"Apart from the little devils guarding the various city gates, anyone who doesn't know better would think that the East City is human territory. What kind of behavior is this!" Shen Du replied indifferently.
"Yes, I understand. I will immediately send the demon back to guard the East City."
Abel took a deep breath, cursing inwardly those ungrateful demons for not appreciating the good deed they had entrusted to him and his brother to serve the Lord.
"Alright, you two brothers, organize the demon army of Huomu City, and in seven days, set out to conquer other cities on this continent."
After God finished speaking, he was about to leave when Abel hurriedly said, "Lord, please wait!"
Seeing this, even the gods stopped and turned to look at him.
