Chapter 216: The City of a Thousand Rivers, the Land of Trouble
What should the daily life of a demon lord look like?
In folklore, they are constantly working hard to destroy the world of miè, or sitting on a lazy throne like lazy pigs laughing and amusing themselves at the pain of their souls thrown into the oil pot. All in all, their daily lives must be evil and cruel, even impossible to look at.
But for Jenn, that's all.
As a demon king, it is natural that he will work hard to bring the greatest chaos and war to this world, and do his best (forget it after death, the demon clan will not be happy with this). But Jenn wasn't that kind of workaholic, he wasn't like his big brother, who didn't care for revenge. For him, as long as he lives one more second in this world, then those humans must die. And Jenn doesn't have this kind of aggrieved little daughter-in-law's obsession, for him this is a game, a game of appreciating war, chaos, and death. Playing with people's hearts, disrupting order, watching themselves gradually become chaotic and degenerate. The wonderful feeling of stepping into the abyss with one's own temptation can be regarded as a very good entertainment, but for Jenn, it is nothing more than entertainment -- no one will ever play games as a sign of the value of their lives.
This is the biggest difference between the Demon King and the Brave, the Demon King only needs to set a general direction, and then he can do whatever he wants, maybe his men will gather a group of thugs who are also evil, hungry for death and destruction. But these guys mean nothing to the Demon King, they are just pawns that they throw when they run out. So it doesn't matter if you succeed or if you fail. It's just a form of entertainment for the Demon King. The brave is different, perhaps because of the evil thoughts of a demon king on a whim. They will have to trek through mountains and rivers to defeat one enemy after another, destroy one conspiracy after another, and pay a price that ordinary people cannot bear. And when they sacrificed their lovers, their friends, and their loved ones, and tried their best to stop the conspiracy of the Demon King, the heroes who shed tears of excitement would never have imagined that they were in the dark abyss. The Demon King has given up on this boring game -- and is starting to think about the next more interesting idea.
At this moment, Jenn is the same, he knows that the situation of the Skar Federation is critical now, because most of the representatives sent before are the heirs of various families, and Jenn sent aliens to kill most of them. In this case, the various families will inevitably become chaotic. The heirs of the Soros family were put back into the family, and they obviously did not reassure Pawood Sr. because of his appeasement and overtures, and they must still be eager to regain the position of consul. And there's that mysterious third party......... Jenn didn't know who the other party was, and he didn't bother to care, but he was sure. Those guys are just as eyeing the Skar Federation as they are themselves. And now, he has weakened the power of the Skar Federation, and those guys will be fools if they don't jump out again.
But now for Jenn. He didn't have much to do. Although he had enough resources and built a considerable army, Jenn knew that he could only make a small fight with the little force in his hands. If you really follow your brother's example to destroy the miè world, you will definitely be beaten back in less than five minutes. So all he had to do now was wait, wait for the Skar Federation to continue to weaken. Until the moment when internal and external difficulties and contradictions completely erupted.
That's why he brought Enoa and Irinster to Warfour. Take a boring, walk-and-go trip.
Huafu is the second largest commercial city on the Eagle Plateau, and it is well connected by the Yongshi Canal and water transport in all directions. Therefore, it is also a rare prosperous place in the entire plateau. However, compared to other cities, Warford is more special. From the outside, it looks like a normal city, but when you enter it, you will find that 85% of the city is full of rivers and bridges, and people want to travel either by boat or horse-drawn carriage. The whole city looks as if it was built on water, and it has the style of an otherworldly Venice.
“…………!”
Lying on the side of the carriage and looking at the city outside, Elester showed a look of surprise and excitement, her eyes widened curiously, staring at the tall arched bridges in front of her, and the boats shuttling back and forth in the river. It was the first time she had come to such a big city, and she had spent most of her time in a small country town since she was born, and as for other places, she had only occasionally heard about it in other people's conversations, and Elester had never been to a big city like this.
However, compared to Irinster's surprise, Enoa was very calm, she didn't even look at the scenery outside, but took out a small notebook from her bosom and began to report to Jenn one by one.
"Then master, let's first visit the Purple Lily River, then go to the Golden Bell Avenue for dinner, and then go to the auction to be held at the Radiant Fountain this evening......... It starts at 6 p.m., no problem. ”
"Of course not."
Hearing Enoa's arrangement, Jenn nodded, and then he glared blankly at Pattilina, who was looking at the curious probe next to him. That's what an adjutant should do, and she'll arrange her master's day's schedule so that people can follow their schedule. On the other hand, Patilina didn't have this mind, except for being active in fighting, the little guy was like a lazy worm waiting to die at other times, which was why Jenn had to pull Enoa to his side. It was because Patilina was too unfit for this kind of thing that Jenn had to make a new choice.
Sensing Jenn's gaze, Patilina shrank her little head and stuck out her tongue as if she hadn't seen it. Seeing Patilina's reaction, Jenn snorted coldly and went with her.
After passing through the gate of Guò, Jenn instructed the carriage to go down to the nearby pier. Wafort has two ways of moving, one is by boat and the other is walking. However, given the number of rivers that crisscross the city and the time it takes to cross bridges, a boat ride is a bit more appropriate.
As a large metropolis, Warford is indispensable for ferries, and in fact there are even ferries on the pier for transporting horse-drawn carriages, which are much more flat and wide than the other pleasure boats, and look like a rectangle with a sharp front and a rear. Around the boat, sixteen sailors held long poles and rowed boats, which were generally only used to transport those nobles of high status, so the price was so high that ordinary people could not afford to sit on them.
However, of course, this was not a problem for Jenn, because he gave enough money, and Alice, who was responsible for negotiating on behalf of the master, was born with the aura of "everyone loves", so soon Jenn and the others got the biggest and best ferry boat on the dock, and drove together with their carriage in the direction of the Purple Lily River.
Driving on the river and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the surrounding city of a thousand rivers is indeed refreshing. As far as the eye can see, the turquoise water reflects the sky, while the clear water reflects the shadows of bridges, pedestrians, buildings and boats. At first glance, it feels as if there are two identical inverted worlds on the surface and under the water, and you can't help but be fascinated.
Pattilina and Irene sat curiously on the window and looked out of the car to see what to do, while Alice, as a maid, was setting up refreshments for the others, while Jenn and Enoa rested beside them. In fact, until now, Jenn didn't know what the number of Alice was in front of him. It's not that they all look the same, but they're too similar. It's like Europeans and Americans look at Asians, and Asians look at blacks and whites, almost all of them are carved out of the same mold, unless they get along for a long time, aren't they still alone? Not to mention that Alice's body shape, height is about the same, hair is also beautiful and silky golden shawl long hair, and they are all wearing maid clothes with blue background and white edges, in this case, Jenn has to distinguish one by one -- this is not a game for everyone to find fault!
But anyway, every Alice's memories and thoughts are common, and it's okay to bring anyone.
Jenn and the others were admiring the city in front of them, and they themselves had attracted the attention of many people. In fact, in the city of a thousand rivers, it was already fashionable for nobles to travel on horse-drawn carriage ferries. And in this case, it also invisibly formed a kind of comparison between the aristocracy and the aristocracy. Whose carriage is more beautiful and luxurious, whose mount is more obedient, more robust and smarter. These are all unique scenery in the city of a thousand rivers, and Jenn's carriage naturally attracted the attention of other nobles who came out to travel.
But it's no wonder that Jenn's carriage is the limit of the luxury enjoyment of the demons, and the carriage originally attached to magic such as magic engravings and eternal lamps is enough to make people envious and jealous, not to mention the two tall black horses used to pull the cart, they stand there, majestic like war horses. And it can be seen that both horses are very intelligent, they are obviously not wearing blindfolds, but they are not at all frightened, and they seem to be able to carry out the will of their masters completely -- you must know that this carriage has no coachman!
For a while, Jenn's carriage attracted the attention of many nobles, and everyone was talking about it, trying to find out who this uninvited guest in front of him was, and what his family crest represented. And Jenn naturally felt this kind of peeping, but he didn't care about those stupid humans at all, let them look at their carriage with envy and jealousy!
But just as the ferry was turning around the third corner, an accident happened.
A boat twice the size of a ferryboat sped along the other side of the river, setting off waves that made the other boats dodge. And Jenn's ferry boat didn't seem to expect this to happen at all, although the captain also shouted and hurriedly turned, but it was still a step too late, only to see the boat brush the ferry boat and sail quickly, and the next moment, the waves brought by the high-speed driving rushed towards the ferry boat where Jenn was!
