Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

"So...what is the process like?"

The mixed-blood girl couldn't help but grin: "Why? You want to join us~ Haha, if you want to join us, join our mixed-blood gang, it will definitely be much more comfortable than being a servant like you are now.

The process is not complicated. The gang leader will give us a sum of money, and we use the money to block those customers who are interested in buying good things from the food store and buy the food from them.

It wasn’t so troublesome before. All I had to do was go to the food store in advance and spend all my money to buy food when the food store just opened. But now, because the food store limits the amount of food that can be bought per person, I can only use this stupid method.”

"That... sounds a bit like robbery..."

This made the mixed-blood girl's face freeze, and she opened her mouth to correct him, "No, no, no, we didn't rob it, we bought it with money, we definitely can't rob it.

If you don't spend money and rob openly, you will be targeted by the police! There are now many so-called policemen in the inner city, and they all seem to have a grudge against us.

When they encounter gang members committing crimes, they are basically arrested without giving them any chance to explain. They can't even be bribed and they are unyielding.

If you are caught by them, you will basically be locked up in a cell for several days. If you do something extreme, you will even be escorted to the warden of Sofia for sentencing.

Previously, the son of a gang leader wanted to enrich himself when helping this group of merchants to purchase goods, so he did not spend money to buy the goods, but instead snatched the goods directly from the customers.

Therefore, he was targeted by the police. He didn't want to be arrested, so he got into a conflict and fought with the police. In the end, he was sent to the warden of Sofia Prison by a large group of police officers.

For the sake of his son, the gang leader went to the warden of Sofia to plead for mercy, hoping that his son would be spared.

But the warden ignored her and his son was beheaded the next day. The gang leader was very arrogant but he didn't dare to challenge the warden.

So he went to the newly opened police station to cause trouble, demanding that the policemen pay for his son's life. However, he was outwitted and was beaten up by the police chief from the beast-headed demon clan.

After that, he was sent to the warden of Sofia Prison, and was beheaded the next day to accompany his son.

Because the gang had lost its leader, it fell into chaos and was completely divided up by other gangs within a few days.

After that incident, we became more cautious. We would buy what we could, but we definitely would not rob. If we did, we would be targeted by the police, and if we were unlucky, we would lose our heads. "

As she spoke, the mixed-race girl made a beheading gesture to her neck with lingering fear. Obviously, the drastic measures taken by the police in the Demon King's City had a significant deterrent effect on this group of gang members.

Irons nodded, not sure whether he was satisfied with the mixed-race girl's answer or with the police's dedication to their duties.

Along the way, Irons asked about some other trivial matters in order to gain a better understanding of the power and situation of these gangs.

As they walked and talked, Ains and the members of the Half-Blood Gang walked out of the gate of the Demon King's Castle that separated the inner city from the outer city.

Irons looked up at the 20-meter-high wall. The solid bricks and stones had turned black due to their age.

Because of the large amount of moss attached to the corners of the wall, it is impossible to see where the ground and the wall are connected, giving people a feeling that the wall is growing out of the earth.

Walking through the arched gate under the city wall means leaving the inner city. Although Ains has left the Demon King's Castle several times before, he has never actually entered the outer city.

Because he had heard about the situation in the outer city, Irons was not too surprised when he saw the almost endless number of shabby shacks in the outer city.

What really surprised Irons was that this group of people from the outer city could actually recognize which shacks belonged to which people among so many shacks.

And in this environment where the shacks are interconnected and the paths are narrow, you have to find the right path.

If it weren't for this group of mixed-race gang members leading the way, Irons was sure that he would have been lost in this chaotic slum area long ago.

"The terrain here is really complicated..." Irons couldn't help but sigh.

Finia, who had been hiding, said, "This is because you, Lord Ains, do not live here and are not familiar with it. If you stay here for a while, you will naturally know it well."

"...From what you said, Finia, it seems that you are very familiar with the terrain of the outer city?"

"Hmm... I just understand a little bit..."

As she spoke, Finia began to introduce which road to take and how to get to which gang's territory. Her fluent narration seemed as if she was introducing her own yard.

Listening to Finia's detailed narration, Irons once again expressed his admiration for the richness and comprehensiveness of the information Finia knew.

Irons smiled and muttered, "You really do know a little bit about everything, Finia... Then how much do you know about Constantine, the leader of the mixed-blood gang?"

"Constantine Brando, he is nothing special, just like all half-bloods, he lived in the vampire clan when he was a child, and was kicked out of the vampire territory when he grew up to be self-reliant.

It was only after he came to the Demon King's City that he relied on his organizational skills and personal charm to connect with other half-bloods in the Demon King's City, and finally established the Half-Blood Gang, which has gradually grown to its current size."

"Hmm...then what?"

"... That's all, Lord Irons. This is Constantine's resume."

After hearing Finia's answer, Irons couldn't help but ask back: "Huh? That's all? As a vampire, doesn't he have any...shocking or special gossip?"

Constantine's extremely normal past made him frown.

This shouldn't happen. According to the nature of the vampires, it would be inconsistent with their image if this Constantine didn't spread some special gossip.

And Ains's question also made Finia speechless for a while. She was silent for a long time before she said earnestly: "Lord Ains, please don't have preconceived ideas and add some inexplicable settings to a race at will.

The past of this half-blood Constantine was verified many times by my maid intelligence network. It is so simple and clear, and there is no shameful gossip.

So, please correct your concept. Big monsters don’t have to do extraordinary things. They have extraordinary qualities and are extraordinary monsters. Among big monsters, there are also very serious and simple ones. "

"okay……"

Irons touched his chin and nodded. He didn't know why, but after hearing Finia's confident reply, Irons felt that...something unexpected might happen...

Chapter 154

Constantine Brando

As Irons followed the members of the Half-Blood Gang around the outer city, he observed the living environment of these people with his own eyes.

The civilians in these outer city areas live in shacks. The shapes of these shacks vary in size, depending on how much steel bars and iron plates the demon family is willing to use to make the frame.

Then cover it with linen, cut off the excess scraps, and sew the joints to ensure that they are airtight. A qualified shack is ready.

These shacks were not much different from the ones that Ains had observed in the slums of the Duolun Empire before. If there was any difference, it was probably that the frames used by the civilians of the Duolun Empire were made of wood, while those in the Demon Realm used steel bars and iron plates.

Of course, this is also due to the differences in national conditions.

In the Demon King's City, wooden building materials are rare, and can even be said to be precious. Some of the higher-ranking demons will have some wooden structures in conspicuous places in their houses to highlight the high cost.

The abundant and easily mined mineral resources have made steel the most common building material. Iron plates, steel bars, and nails, which are expensive building materials in the human world, are very cheap in the Demon Realm.

Therefore, although the residents of these outer city areas built all the same shacks, they seemed as if they could be easily destroyed by wind and rain.

However, if you go in, you will find that the frame used to support the house is all supported by steel bars and iron plates, and the whole structure is quite solid.

Of course, even in the outer city areas, people are divided into different levels, and not all residents in the outer city areas live in these cheap steel-frame shacks.

Some gangs that are doing well will use more cost-effective methods to build houses.

"Here~ This is our mixed-blood gang~"

Led by a group of half-bloods, Irons bypassed the narrow paths between the shacks and finally turned into the half-blood gang he had heard of for a long time.

With just a quick look, Irons felt the difference between the gang and ordinary residential areas. Judging from the appearance of the buildings, the Half-Blood Gang was indeed more majestic than the shacks built by the surrounding civilians.

These houses are basically an upgraded version of shacks. Compared to the shacks covered with burlap cages, the houses of the mixed-blood gang are more similar to the tin houses in the previous life.

In addition to these tin houses, you can even see some houses made of cement.

Although... this tin house made of iron sheets makes Irons feel more like the slums of his previous life than the shack made of linen.

Especially the reddish-brown spots caused by rust on the iron sheets used to build houses, which add a little bit of flavor to the house.

Of course, for residents in the outer city, having such a tin house is actually a good proof of life.

After all, no matter how cheap the iron sheet is, it still costs a lot to build a pure iron house. After weighing the pros and cons, using linen to cover the iron frame to build a shack is more in line with the living costs of normal outer city residents.

More advanced than the tin houses are the cement houses.

The formula and technology for cement were discovered by Margaret from Irons a few years ago.

After all, this thing itself does not have high technical content, it depends on the high temperature calcination ability. And this just fits the magic domain's good area, they lack everything, but not the forging technology.

As for the raw materials... limestone, clay, iron ore, coal... my goodness, these things are abundant everywhere in the Demon Realm.

The technology and materials were not bad, and there was enough steel bars, so the method of building houses with cement pouring was soon promoted in the Demon King's City.

To a certain extent, its cost is even cheaper than the traditional stone houses in the inner city, so almost all new buildings in the Demon King's City are now made of cement.

Of course, this situation only applies to the inner city area. The monsters in the outer city area are not without money to build concrete houses. Their bigger problem is that they have no channels.

Because currently all the cement material channels in the Demon King's City are controlled by the Demon King's Castle, and most of the resources of the Demon King's Castle are currently invested in the construction and renovation of the inner city area, and the outer city area cannot be taken care of at present.

So, even though cement is cheap, most people in the outer city areas cannot enjoy the convenience it brings.

If one wants to build cement houses, one can only rely on gangs like the Half-Blood Gang, open up some channels in the inner city, and privately hire people from the official construction team of Demon Castle to buy materials to build houses.

Because it was a private job, the cost of a cement house naturally produced a large premium. The cement houses in the outer city were actually more expensive than those in the inner city.

It goes without saying that the monster that can live in this kind of cement house must be a high-ranking member or even the gang leader.

Of course, although this kind of cement house built by the government for private work is not cheap, its quality... is not that good either!

Most of them are very low-quality cement matchbox houses.

In Ains' previous life, this kind of cement matchbox house was the kind of bare-bones bungalow that no one would want to live in even in the old city.

But for the residents living in the urban area outside the Demon King's City, even this kind of bare-bones bungalow is a high-end, classy and luxurious mansion.

And Irons, naturally, under the leadership of a group of mixed-bloods, walked into the largest and most luxurious... cement rough house in the entire mixed-blood gang's territory...

As soon as he entered the bungalow, Ains noticed the special decoration inside the cement house. Well... this decoration style is rarely seen in the Demon Realm. It has a bit of the flavor of the southern human countries.

Irons even saw a row of nutcracker crafts carved out of stone on the windowsill, which was quite rare in the Demon Realm.

Next to the windowsill, a man was standing in front of the window with his back to everyone. His very conspicuous and gorgeous golden hair was shining in the light from the window.

At the same time, his rather sturdy back muscles supported the clothes on his body, making his whole body look strong and tall, as if he had a kind of sculptural beauty.

"Boss! We are back, and we brought a half-blood compatriot who just came to the Demon King's Castle!"

"Oh... a newcomer?"

Following a very heavy and magnetic voice, Constantine, who was standing in front of the window, turned his head slightly and glanced at everyone with his eyes hidden in the shadow under his blond bangs.

Then, he turned around, put one hand on his waist and held a book in the other, walked to the iron table in the room, and placed the book in his hand on the table.

Irons noticed the book that Constantine placed on the table. Wow, he was quite familiar with it. Isn't it the "Blood Charm" written by the daughter of the vampire lord?

It seems that this book is indeed very popular in the Demon King's Castle. Even this half-blood gang leader reads it on a daily basis.

After looking at the book, Irons then turned his attention to Constantine's appearance. Well, it must be said that the vampire race is indeed rich in handsome men and beautiful women.

In terms of appearance, Constantine can indeed be described as a handsome man with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, and his pair of red pupils give him a unique charm.

Of course, it's not that Ains is proud, compared to himself, it's still a little bit behind.

Irons was observing Constantine, and Constantine was actually also observing Irons. After observing for a while, Constantine's eyebrows couldn't help but narrowed slightly.

At the same time, beside Ains, Finia, who had been hiding this aura, sent a voice message to Ains: "Lord Ains, please be careful. Your transformation magic has been seen through by Constantine."

"Huh?" Irons couldn't help but be slightly startled, noticing that there was something strange in the way Constantine looked at him.

He immediately asked through voice transmission: "Finya, didn't you say that the succubus's transformation magic is very advanced, and outsiders can't see it except for the people of the same tribe?"

In this regard, Finia said uncertainly: "Maybe Constantine himself has mastered the transformation magic of the succubus? It's hard to say."

"...Did he notice your presence?"

"That's not the case. Constantine's strength is not yet at the level that can see through my hidden magic."

"...Do you think he will suddenly attack and take control of me because he sees through my true human form?"

In response, Finia comforted him: "Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, Lord Ains, you can rest assured, because I am by your side, and no one can hurt you."

Listening to Finia's calm and composed voice, Irons couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart, so his body was no longer tense, but relaxed, and he stood in front of Constantine confidently.

As if sensing Irons's calmness, Constantine saw through Irons's peculiarity but did not expose it immediately.

Instead, he chatted with other gang members first, gave them some symbolic encouragement, distributed the wages for this order to the members, and then told everyone to leave.

Of course, before everyone left, Constantine added, "By the way, that new mixed-blood compatriot? Can you stay for a while? Don't you want to join the mixed-blood gang?

It just so happens that I, the gang leader, can personally tell you about all aspects of the Mixed Blood Gang, how about that? "

As he spoke, Constantine sat at the table with a meaningful smile on his face.

When the other mixed-bloods saw that Constantine actually wanted to keep Irons alone for a private chat, they all showed inexplicable envy.

"You are so lucky, you can even get the gang leader to stay for a private chat. Perform well. If you can leave a good impression in front of the gang leader, you will definitely be treated to a good meal~"

As they spoke, the group of half-bloods who were leaving patted Irons on the shoulder and encouraged him.

After these gang members left, Constantine stood up and walked towards Irons. Irons thought that this guy was going to subdue him at close range, so he instinctively tensed his body and took a few steps back.
