It doesn't matter what the lord is.

As for red equipment, just like its real name [He Xun], it is something that cannot be found anywhere. No one can tell where such high-level materials can be found. If there are any, they are probably outside the human territory. For ordinary people, getting blue-grade equipment is worth being happy. The higher-level purple equipment is just as its name [Lucky], and the price of thousands of gold coins is enough to bankrupt many families.

Fileta looked at me secretly, and seeing that I ignored her, she boldly sat on my lap and leaned on my arms. I rubbed her hair, and Fileta lay down obediently. I suddenly asked:

"Filita, how long have you been at the fifth level of magic?"

Fileta blinked and said:

"I don't know. But it's been at least two years."

I nodded and said:

"When you reach the sixth level of magic, I will give you another gift."

I have said before that in the current Yuxi City, Felita's strategic importance is definitely higher than others. But Alayya, who has been following me, not only successfully broke through the fifth level, but also reached the fifth level of perfection in the sword path. The weapon she carries is also the purple long sword [Youlong]. Every time I compare them, I always feel that I am favoring one over the other.

If you want to get more materials to make weapons and equipment, especially purple equipment, it is impossible to just rob the demons. However, Yongtian Kingdom has large-scale activities such as [Southern Ocean Expedition], [Northern Expedition] and [World Martial Arts] every year. To put it simply, it is to gather the most capable people in Yongtian Kingdom to play dungeons, go to the border to eliminate dangers and make money, or let these capable brothers fight to decide who is the best in the world. It's all routine. But this year, winter is coming soon, and it's not easy to go to the South Ocean and the North. The World Martial Arts is also held in June every year, so we have to wait until at least next year.

I estimate that if it goes fast, Fileta should reach the sixth level of magic by then. I will go there myself and get some materials back then.

Fileta held a pitch-black staff in her arms, the shaft of which was deeply embedded in her plump breasts.

She was still lying on my legs, mumbling:

"Sixth level of magic... I wish I could do it tomorrow. If that's the case, I have to get up and practice now. But it's so hard to lie like this for a while... Ha... I'm closest to my master... I'm surrounded by my master's aura and I don't have any strength in my body..."

Fileta hugged him again.

Today, let’s make a salted fish!

8. It’s not impossible

Strictly speaking, among all the people in Yuxi City, apart from Alaiya, Fileta is the least troublesome. Fang Shisan's joining brought some friction to Yuxi City, especially Fang Shisan, who was eager to prove himself and went to the front line immediately, without even having time to integrate into Yuxi City. He Yue and Bai Huang were both angry because of this. Although Alaiya didn't say anything, she secretly made me a week of stewed radish and cabbage.

Only Fileta still looked cute and obedient, although she was completely different to others. After Fang Shisan came over, Fileta never mentioned this matter, but secretly conducted devilish training on her apprentice Yama, as cold as an iceberg that had not melted for thousands of years.

Poor Yama, except for one day off for his birthday, practiced magic at home day and night, which improved his strength a lot.

After calming these people down, there are only two things left to do.

The first thing is Luger. Strictly speaking, this person is the one who has a direct conflict of interest with Fang Shisan. As the original "tallest among the short ones" selected as the army leader, Luger remained in the army after Fang Shisan arrived, but most of the command power was handed over to Fang Shisan.

That night, Luger drank a bottle of wine and sat in the city lord's mansion talking to me for most of the night.

He said that he really didn't like Fang Shisan. At that time, Fang Shisan's troops were approaching Yuxi City. Luge organized a resistance, but Fang Shisan killed many people. Fang Shisan directly blocked Yuxi City with his troops to prevent Luge from sending people to collect the bodies. Luge watched his compatriots' bodies rot and stink, and were eaten by vultures. This resentment has been accumulated in his heart.

But he told me:

"Although I am still very angry, if I think about it carefully, it also shows that my ability is indeed not as good as Fang Shisan's. If she and I had switched roles at the beginning, perhaps the brothers who defended the city together at that time would not have died. I handed over the power to Fang Shisan, not because I forgave her, but because I knew that her coming with the army could minimize our casualties."

Seeing that he was very depressed, I smiled and said:

"When I gave the army to you, you were entrusted with the task in a time of crisis. The sacrifice of the soldiers was not your fault. It was because Yuxi City was still very weak at that time, and you did a good job. As for me, I am not the kind of person who would burn bridges after crossing them. Since you took the initiative to give up power to Fang Shisan, I can fulfill one of your wishes as compensation."

Luger took a sip of wine, said nothing, and thought silently.

I said:

"Just ask me. Whether it's money or a sinecure, I'll consider it."

Luger gritted his teeth and replied:

"I hope to become the city lord's anonymous disciple."

I raised an eyebrow.

Luger continued:

"I once asked Lady Alaya. Lady Alaya said that you taught her swordsmanship. I am twenty-six years old this year, ten years older than Lady Alaya, but my level is three levels lower than hers. I am still at the second level of swordsmanship. I have no talent, so I will not mention your name outside, which would bring shame to you. I just hope that you can give me some pointers when you are free."

I changed into a more comfortable position:

"Why do you learn swordsmanship?"

Luger said in a deep voice:

"revenge."

I was too lazy to ask him who he was seeking revenge on. There were so many grudges in the world, and I couldn't control many things. Since he wanted to learn, and I owed him a favor, I just taught him.

Seeing that I agreed, Luger finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, I was also relieved. This was a peaceful transfer of power in the army. Next, it was up to Fang Shisan to perform. The sooner she could capture the five cities of Lineng, the sooner I could stand up straight and be a man. Otherwise, I would always be like a scumbag who used his wife's money to support his mistress, which was simply outrageous to both humans and gods.

Another thing is the problem of the demon breeding farm.

When I came back, I asked Alayya to send a notice to the succubus group, the female succubus and the male succubus, telling them not to bother Fang Li Tower anymore. The kid now has a pale face and cold hands, and he is starting to have kidney deficiency. These two ate very well. I went to see them in person once. Their strength is not much different from before, just a little bit stronger, a little bit that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye.

When the female charmer saw me, she immediately put on a flattering smile and said:

"Lord City Lord, did we do a good job this time?"

I highly commend the contributions made by both of them.

After receiving my compliment, the demon man pushed me against the wall, and with his other hand he tore open my clothes on my chest, revealing his strong chest muscles. He smiled evilly and said:

"But for us, the City Lord will always be the most attractive target...Ah!!!"

The demon man who had eaten my knee fell to the ground, holding his lower body. I moved a chair and sat down, saying:

"But it seems that you have run out of food recently. How long can you last after eating this time?"

The female charmer said dissatisfiedly:

"It's about half a month for me, and about a month for him."

"Why is he better than you...Fuck."

I was just about to ask why the demon man gained more essence, but after thinking about it, I suddenly felt a chill and decided not to ask.

The female charmer looked like a nympho, her white fingers brushed across her glossy lips, and she whispered:

"Ah... Lord City Lord. When can I have a taste of your essence?"

Based on the principle that it doesn’t cost money to draw a big picture, I answered:

"Don't worry, work hard, and that day will come. Probably."

The demon man covered his lower body, stretched out his hand towards me, and said in a trembling voice:

"And me?"

I suppressed the chill, smiled brightly, and said:

"Well, it's not impossible..."

Both of them were grateful. I left some money for them, which was specially allocated from the funds of Yuxi City. After all, they made quite outstanding contributions in this operation. Unfortunately, although the female charmer and the demon man have similar appearance and intelligence to humans, they live in the demon tribe and have no clear concept of money.

I said:

"You are intelligent creatures, so I don't intend to treat you as low-level demons. From now on, you can go out shopping and buy anything you like if you have enough money. But the premise is that you can't attack the people of Yuxi City. I believe you understand this without me saying it."

I gave each of them a gold coin, some silver coins and copper coins, taught them some common sense about coins, and told them that it is best not to spend all at once, because they don't know when the next salary and bonus will be paid.

After saying goodbye to both of them, I went to the demon breeding farm.

The colorless slime followed Alaya and I to the demon's territory and ate a lot of powerful demon corpses. When it came back, it looked drowsy. Now a month has passed, I guess it should have changed a little bit.

9. Talking Lyme

When I arrived at the demon breeding farm, it was Hantu who came out to greet me again.

This butcher, who started out by slaughtering pigs, still had a greasy body, broad shoulders and a thick waist. When he saw me, he smiled innocently and said:

"Hello, Lord City Lord."

I nodded to him, walked side by side with him, and asked:

"Tell me about what happened recently."

Hantu counted on his fingers and said:

"With the help of Lord He Yue, the demon breeding farm was expanded again. The surrounding residential areas were demolished and there was not much friction. At the same time, a special [Drill Horn Rabbit] breeding farm was established on the barren mountain outside. The output and quality of rabbit meat and drill horns have been significantly improved. At present, we have some preliminary experience in how to raise demons and how to eliminate the aggressiveness of domesticated demons as much as possible. Next, we plan to introduce some new demons and try to capture and tame some more advanced demons."

Hantu said with a proud smile:

"I don't dare to brag, but when it comes to raising demons, we are the best. But capturing and taming demons requires the help of Lady Alaya and Lady Fileta. We can only apply for it and wait until the two adults have time to execute it."

During this period, Alaya and Felita have been to the frontline many times. The main combat power of Yuxi City is now focused on the battle against the east. I estimate that it will take at least until the middle of winter this year for Yuxi City to be idle. I don't know if the demons have the habit of hibernation.

"Where's the colorless slime?"

I asked.

Hantu slapped his forehead and said:

"Look at me, I forgot to tell you. According to your request, I moved it to a better room. But it doesn't like to eat recently. It will become very manic when someone approaches it. We haven't visited it for a long time. Anyway, the food thrown into the room every day will be eaten. Do you want to visit it? I'll lead the way."

As he spoke, Hantu took me to a room. This room was relatively remote, far away from the other demon breeding rooms. I took the key from Hantu, sent him away, and opened the door and walked in.

The room was dark, and as soon as I stepped in, a chill hit me.

As if in a horror movie, the door behind him was closed silently.

There was only a small window letting in a little light. I looked around but didn't see the familiar figure.

Just when I was wondering, a disembodied voice suddenly sounded in my mind:

——Who is that? Who is that? Who is that?

——That's slime, slime! Slime!

——The slime that bears the name of "Rare Colorless" and gave up everything to live!

——The body of slime is sticky!

——The Slime Heart is shining!

——The language of slimes is the sweet sound of birdsong!

——The light of the slime is brilliant golden!

--Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!

——Gather the "power of devouring" in one body!

——The hero of justice! Slime!

As the song stopped, there was a sudden sound of wind behind him, which seemed to be filled with countless murderous intentions.

I dodged to the side, and the guy who pounced on me from behind like lightning hit the wall with a "bang". The sound of "Ouch" rang in my mind again. The colorless slime slowly flowed from the wall to the ground, and then the mucus gathered around the core and turned into a round ball of slime again.

“Beep! Lord Slime, revive!”

This voice resounded in my mind. I observed it for a while with the help of the light and found that the slime had not changed much since I left. It was still colorless, with six small golden balls like curry fish balls floating around it.

The slime turned around proudly, its core glowing, as if looking at me.

And the following voice sounded in my mind:

“Bejiji… You actually dared to use me as bait… I will repay you for this humiliation today! My body has become stronger so that I can complete my revenge one day! I am no longer the same person I used to be! Get ready to taste my wrath, the power that overflows after devouring several big guys. This power is enough to make stupid humans tremble. Let! You! Take a look! Look! Here! Beji——”

As soon as he finished speaking, the slime's tense body suddenly shot up and rushed directly towards me.

I grabbed it expressionlessly and slammed it to the ground.

Although there is a lot more nonsense now, the strength is still very weak.

“Bij——!!! How is this possible!! How could I lose so miserably!! Who are you?”

I squatted down and looked at it, and I was so angry that I wanted to laugh:

"Do you know what level you are at now? At most, you are at the second level of perfection, not even at the third level. What gives you such confidence? Also, didn't anyone tell you not to read the lines before a sneak attack? Have you ever seen a guy who has to recite a long line before a sneak attack?"

Slime collapsed to the ground, and said dejectedly:

"Beep, beep, just kill me. I don't have the face to live in this world anymore."

Even if you have mastered the language, you still can't get rid of the habit of speaking "beji".

I sat next to it and asked:

"So you stayed in a soft state for so long just to evolve into a talking form?"

The slime hummed twice and said:

"It's not my intention to do this. Evolution is completely beyond my control. I can only follow my body's instincts. Biji... I thought I could defeat you and escape safely after becoming stronger this time. I didn't expect to fail! Damn it! Biji!"
