Episode 15: Heavy Treasure Chapter 1: Demons Gathering
A two-star mission, from the Ye Mure Prefecture’s ‘Emperor Wing City’ to the Hong Yang Prefecture’s ‘Blue Maple City’. The journey is nearly four billion miles. Honorarium. Two hundred thousand ink stones! Although there was a distance of four billion miles. However, a normal metallic life can arrive in a few decades. Decades of escorting and obtaining 200,000 inkstones is indeed an extremely high reward for a one star or two star demon. It was indeed considered an extremely high reward.
“You chose this?” The youth looked up at Linley and the three of them in astonishment.
This youth’s expression. Instead, it made Linley’s heart grow a little puzzled, “What. No?” “Oh, give me your demonic medals.”
The youth said no more. Linley’s trio immediately handed over their demonic medals, and that youth flipped his hand, a crystal radiating with purple light appearing in his hand.
He brought the crystal close to the three demonic medals.
Under the purple light. A special handwriting surfaced on the surface of all three Demon Medals.
“Huh?” Linley’s trio were all a little surprised.
“What is this? A string of numbers?” Bebe opened her mouth and inquired, the very surface of the Demon Medallion was floating with extremely long numbers.
The youth said casually, “This is the number of your demon medallion. Every demon’s number is different. From the number, you can determine your identity. This devil’s medal also has your star rating on it.”
Said the youth, recording Linley’s trio of demon numbers.
Immediately. Handing these three devil medals to Linley’s three: “Alright, what you three need to do. Is to go to the city gates early in the morning twenty days from now. At that time. There will be people from our Devil’s Castle as well as hired guests to receive you, and at that time, they will examine your Devil’s Medals. Naturally, they can determine your identity.”
“Is there a fee to pay to take on this mission?” Linley opened his mouth.
Linley had heard about it. Most of the quests taken at the Devil’s Castle had to be paid for first.
The youth smiled, “It depends on what kind of mission, there’s no need to pay a fee to take this kind of escort mission.”
Linley and the others left the Demon Castle and returned to their own residence.
“Ah. There’s still twenty days to go, and we’re leaving here in twenty days.”
Bebe threw his straw hat onto the stone table and sighed, “Lived here for thirty years. Can’t even bear to part with this place anymore.”
Linley couldn’t help but let out a long breath.
After coming to hell for so long, one had finally become a demon. Twenty days later, he himself would finally embark on his journey to the land of the Phantom Blue Mansion.
“Linley.”
Delia had a hint of a smile on her face, “That Tarosha, Tirin, and the others came to Hell long before us. Where do you think they are in the Helllands? We’re leaving Emperor Wing City this time, on the road. Will we encounter them?” “Tarosha, Tierin?” Linley couldn’t help but recall many scenes from the land of the past.
“A group of them were together. Especially since Tarosha and Tilin aren’t just Mediate Gods, they’re also divine beasts. A group of them together. They should at least be able to barely keep themselves safe in hell.”
Linley looked at the distant sky, “It’s just that this hell is too big, and I don’t know, exactly where they’ve been teleported to.”
There were five continents in hell as well as the Sea of Star Fog and the Sea of Chaos.
And teleportation from the Material Plane. That was arbitrarily, and it was entirely possible to show up at any of the seven places. And any two places were extremely far away from each other. If they weren’t sent to the same continent. It would be really hard to run into them.
Bebe also nodded, ”Right. Tarosha and the others were fine in hell, but that Olivia came alone. I’m afraid it’s a bit more difficult for him to be in hell alone as a lower god than us.”
“Didn’t come to Hell. Who knew that hell was so much like this?” Linley let out a faint laugh. “However, it’s also true that countless Material Plane powerhouses have been teleported over, plus countless years of accumulation, plus the fact that Hell itself has so many powerful people in its racial multiplication ……. It’s also as it should be.”
Linley and the three of them were relaxed in their hearts. After all, nowadays, they possessed over a hundred million inkstones of wealth. Having become demons again, there was already no problem gaining a foothold in hell.
For traveling to the Phantom Blue Mansion. Linley naturally had confidence in their hearts as well.
In the remaining twenty days, Linley and the three of them were quietly cultivating, Delia was naturally refining that upper godly lattice with all her heart, but to refine an upper godly lattice also required decades of time, and in an instant, one or two dozen days had passed.
In the early morning of this day, the misty cold air of the morning was still floating in Emperor Wing City. The purple moon was still faintly visible in the sky. Of course it was already past ‘curfew’ time at this moment. At such an early hour, Linley and the three of them got up and set off to head directly to the gates of Emperor Wing City.
“Emperor Wing City!” Bebe was still sighing as he walked along the road. “In the future, I’m afraid I won’t even have the chance to come to Emperor Wing City.”
“Don’t think so much.”
Linley wanted to laugh when he saw Bebe in this emotional state, “Oh. The city gates are just up ahead.”
“Woo. It’s here.”
Bebe’s eyes lit up and immediately looked over. “Where are the metal beings? Why can’t I see it?” Bebe looked carefully in the midair outside the city, but he couldn’t see the shadow of the metal life at all.
Linley also felt a trace of doubt in his heart.
By all rights. It was only right that there were metal beings outside.
“Let’s talk outside.”
Linley said, stepping out of the city gates, and a white-robed, silver-haired youth outside the city immediately walked over when he saw the ‘Devil’s Medal’ on the chests of Linley’s trio. In a low voice, he inquired, “Did you guys take up an escort mission to Rainbow Yang Province’s Blue Maple City?” “Yes!” Linley’s trio nodded their heads.
The silver-haired youth smiled and nodded, “Those three. You guys first please go to the second floor of the restaurant on the ground next to the city gates. All of the Earth Demons participating in this escort mission are there.”
“Next to the city gates?” Linley looked back. “The one in the south, or the one in the north ……”
“The one to the south, there are still people wearing white robes like me standing at the entrance. You guys go. He will receive you.”
The silver-haired youth said.
Linley’s trio was puzzled though in their hearts. That escort mission said to come gather and depart in the morning. Why was it at the restaurant again? However. That restaurant was within Emperor Wing City. Hands were not allowed within Emperor Wing City, and Linley and the others weren’t afraid of this person’s deception. Naturally, they went straight back to Emperor Wing City again openly and honestly, and at the same time. At the same time, there were other demons who had taken on this mission who were being guided to follow Linley and the three of them into the restaurant as well.
“Three people. Please wait a moment.”
The white-robed, blue-haired youth at the entrance to the restaurant smiled, knowing that the three people in front of him were also receiving a quest when he saw his companions guiding them outside the city gates.
Behind Linley and the others. There were also two demons.
Glancing back, Linley judged in his mind, “All Medium Deities.”
“Five, please follow me.”
The white-robed, blue-haired youth immediately led Linley and the five of them. They arrived on the second floor of this restaurant. At the moment, the second floor of this restaurant was bustling with activity. There were already forty to fifty people gathered here.
At the entrance to the stairs on the second floor, there was a black-robed man standing there.
“Someone from the Devil’s Castle?” Linley judged it at a glance, as the man was holding a crystal with a purple glow in his hand.
“Please cooperate with the five of you in checking it out.”
The man smiled.
Immediately, he approached the chests of each of Linley’s five people with the crystal that emitted purple light. The purple light illuminated the Devil’s Medallion. The demonic medallion also revealed its number as well as its star level. The black-robed man had a book in his hand, and on it was also written the numbers of the demons who had participated in the mission.
After matching them one by one, the black-robed man was able to determine the identity of all of them. Only then did the black-robed man identify everyone.
“Welcome five.”
The black-robed man smiled and nodded, and it was only at this moment that he let go, allowing Linley’s five to enter the center of the second floor.
A silver-haired old man with three long black horns lined up in a fan-shaped row on his head walked over. Smiling, he said, ”Welcome, three of you. Our team departure this time was not early this morning. Rather, we will wait until the evening, now please dine here. The consumption here is all paid for by us.”
“Evening?” Linley and the others were puzzled. But they didn’t care either.
A day or two was a day or two for a strong person of the Godhood Lands. It was indeed nothing.
Linley, Delia, and Bebe then sought out a corner of the second floor restaurant, and the three of them sat down around the table. Casually ordering some dishes.
“Linley, I always feel like this escort. It seems to be somewhat special.”
Delia said softly.
Linley nodded slightly, “Yes. You see, in this land of demons. In addition to most of them being Mediate Godlands. There are even a dozen or so on the upper divine land. Upper god earth demons are usually four star demons. Even higher ground. Inviting so many demons …… that price isn’t low.”
Sending out quests in the Demon Castle. The honorarium is not given as much as you want to give. But there is a bottom line after the Devil’s Castle evaluation.
The price for a one-star demon or two-star demon was fine, but for a four-star or five-star demon, the price would be amazing.
“Lord Rilmons!” “Lord Rilmunds. You’re here too.”
Suddenly several consecutive voices rang out in the second floor of the restaurant.
Linley and the others couldn’t help but turn their heads over, only to see a cold young man with long green hair and slim floor walk up. Immediately, several demons stood up to greet him. Especially that Upper God Demon. Surprisingly, most of them got up to greet him.
After this cold youth named Rilmons came in, his eyes swept inside the restaurant, and finally his eyes landed on the three handsome three brothers who looked extremely similar, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face, “Edwards, you three brothers have also taken on this mission, so it seems that I’m going to have it a little easier.”
Those three also smiled and stood up.
“Mr. Rilmons, since you also took on this mission. Then there’s probably not much danger along the way.”
One of those extremely handsome three brothers spoke.
At this moment that silver-haired old man with three long black horns on his head came over smilingly, “Mr. Rilmons. There are also the three Edwards, this time along the way, we will have to trouble the four of you.”
In the eyes of this silver-haired old man. Didn’t care about the other demons at all.
Anyone who knew the three brothers, Rilmons and Edwards, wouldn’t be angry because of these words.
Rilmons. A powerful six-star demon.
The three Edwards brothers. All five-star demons! The top tier of demons, the ‘Seven Star Demons’, were generally hidden everywhere. It was difficult to get them to take on missions, but the strength of a six-star demon was generally already extremely strong. With them out on the road, there would hardly be any problems on the road.
“What is Ermons here?” Not far from Linley, someone began to whisper.
It seemed that Linley wasn’t the only one who wasn’t clear.
“Lord Rilmunds. That’s a six-star demon, that’s a number of top-tier powerhouses in our Emperor’s Wing City.”
Linley’s trio couldn’t help but be startled.
The last time they had traveled to Moon Lake Castle. The strongest of the three was Loisius, and that Loisius was only a five-star demon. However, the owner of the Moon Lake Castle was killed without any resistance at all. Five-star demons are so powerful, what about six-star demons? And for an escort mission, to invite a six-star demon. It also shocked Linley.
Linley had a large group of them. They were then eating some delicious dishes in this restaurant until the evening. During this process. Linley and the rest of them also realized. This time, there were nearly twenty Earth God Demons who had taken on the mission. There were also nearly a hundred Medium God Demons.
There were so many demons, and in particular, there was a Six Star Demon at the head of the group.
To have a Six Star Demon escort a distance of four billion miles, the honorarium was extremely astonishing, ten or a hundred times higher than the honorarium for a hundred Mediate God Demons.
“This escort mission. It’s not ordinary.”
Linley was a little apprehensive in the bottom of his heart.
In the evening. Outside of Emperor Wing City Linley and his group, under the guidance of that silver-haired old man, they collectively and quietly entered a metal life, and almost in the blink of an eye as they entered the metal life, before Linley and the others had a chance to determine where to sit, the metal life moved.
The metal life ‘brushed’ and disappeared into the sky. It left Emperor Wing City and headed towards Blue Maple City
