Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

"Master Lauren..."

Winnie looked at Lauren who had stepped into the Bone Plane, a little joy flashed in her eyes.

Lauren nodded with a smile,

"It's been a long time for you."

Although Winnie did not participate in the decisive battle in the Valley of Ruins, she has been sitting on the Bone Plane, providing a safe rear for the Valley of Ruins.

Although he didn't make a shot, he contributed a lot.

And he has always admired this treasure girl who repeatedly surprises him.

"Although the current situation in the valley of ruins has stabilized."

"But after all, this war has caused a great impact. Just in case, I will trouble you to continue to garrison."

After the city hall started transactions with other cities, it naturally knew about the use of phantom crystals by the Illumination Sect to preach.

Lauren has the soul of the earth, so he can better understand how much impact it will have when the eyes of the entire main plane are gathered in one place.

The Scourge, at this time, is well known to everyone.

And he, the natural disaster lord, has become the focus of countless people's discussions.

"As you wish." Naturally, Winnie couldn't refuse.

Lauren nodded and changed the subject.

"Do you know the origin of Land of End?"

Winnie's eyes were fixed, she keenly sensed that Lauren seemed to have something to say, and said thoughtfully.

"Have you explored the secrets of the Land of End?"

Lauren glanced at each other appreciatively.

After that, she didn't hide anything, and told this smart girl about the origin of Land of End, the secret of Ragnarok, and the news about the dark blood dragon.

Finally exhorted.

"There is the biggest secret in this world in the land of the end."

"Perhaps we can find the reason for the birth of the Scarlet Sun here, and solve this natural disaster that has plagued the main plane for hundreds of thousands of years."

"It's even possible to find the lost gods on this plane...everything is possible."

"So it is the key to keep the door of space leading to the end of the land."

"If you have information you want to know, you can communicate with the Dark Blood Dragon and discuss and verify each other..."

He never doubted Winnie's intelligence.

When it comes to internal affairs, Ariel is second to none.

In terms of combat power, Fianna is number one.

In terms of intelligence, this girl who was able to use the staff guarding the dungeon to make deals with him since he was imprisoned in the dungeon was absolutely outstanding.

Letting this treasure girl participate in the exploration plan of the Endland may surprise him again.

Winnie was also shocked after listening to it.

I didn't expect so many things to happen after the main plane's coalition forces were defeated.

The secrets of Land of End and Ragnarok made her feel a sense of historical heaviness.

She has an intuition that perhaps there are more things that can be unearthed in the land of the end than she imagined.

Looking directly at Lauren, he was about to speak, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw those dark and deep eyes.

Lord Lauren...so handsome.

His face flushed unnaturally.

Gathering his mind, he forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and said seriously.

"My lord Lauren,

Can I explore the End with His Excellency Klossus? "

"Don't worry, the bone plane is on the right track. Even if I leave, I can use the power of the plane to return directly without affecting the overall situation."

Lauren already meant this, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much nonsense.

Nod simply.

"Okay, I will leave this matter to the two of you. I need you to explore enough valuable things."

"Of course, this premise is that the valley of ruins and the plane of bones cannot be lost."

"As you wish!"

After handing over the task to the hyperactive Weini, Lauren didn't stay in the Bone Plane, and directly shuttled back to the Pterosaur Plane, and then returned to the island in the middle of the lake.

The small island where the steel factory was built was straightforwardly named Steel Island.

Although it seems uncultured, it is popular and easy to remember.

Half-ratman miners going back and forth are carrying ore through the gate of space.

On the island, several steel-making blast furnaces are emitting thick smoke, a scene from the pre-industrial era.

With the various races that come and go, this picture is full of the unique flavor of the fantasy world.

The steel factory has entered the right track, and a large amount of steel is produced every day, which has become the industrial raw material of the city of Huiyue.

Building houses, forging weapons, and even agricultural tools, kitchen knives, carriages, etc. all need steel.

In the early 20th century on earth, the strength of a country was even calculated by how much steel it produced each year.

This shows the importance of steel.

After Lauren glanced briefly, he didn't pay much attention.

The mature city hall system does not need it to personally advise on individual projects.

After stepping into the new urban area of ​​City of Glory Moon from the island, the surroundings suddenly became lively.

Compared with when he entered the Land of End, the number of residents at this time was obviously much higher.

This residential area has just been built.

The houses on both sides of the street are brand new. At a glance, they are all four-story buildings.

Each floor is divided into two rooms on the left and right. The standard configuration inside is two rooms and one living room. Although it is not large, it is more than enough for a family of three.

The streets have been paved with bluestone floors, which are clean and tidy when stepped on.

There is no dust on the dirt roads in the old town at all, which makes people feel emotional.

Some of the residents who came and went had satisfied smiles on their faces, while others were a little wary.

Once they saw patrolling soldiers, they would immediately shrink back and lower their heads, as if they were afraid of being seen.

On the contrary, another part of the residents calmly walked past the patrolling soldiers, and many even greeted them.

The patrolling soldiers would also give a slight nod of their heads to signal, but they would never stop talking, because they were on a mission and were not allowed to chat with outsiders at will.

Lauren noticed the subtlety at a glance.

Obviously, some of these residents are old residents, and some are newcomers who have just arrived in Huiyue City not long ago.

He didn't care about it either, these people would blend in sooner or later.

This city with strict discipline and no aristocratic oppression is definitely a paradise in this world.

"salute!"

When the patrol passed by Lauren, the leader suddenly stood up straight and beat his chest with his right hand.

The 10 soldiers behind them immediately put their legs together, straightened their chests and said loudly.

"Good day, Lord City Lord!"

The loud voice immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, and they all looked at Lauren.

Lauren, who instantly became the focus of the crowd, looked calm and nodded slightly to the patrol.

"Excuse me, continue with the mission."

"Yes!"

The team leader roared in a firm tone, and then walked forward cleanly without any hesitation.

Although the soldiers behind him were quite excited, they didn't look sideways at the moment.

Patrol is a military order. When executing a military order, unless it is ordered to be dispatched by the superior, otherwise the military order must be the first priority.

This is an iron rule in the army of Huiyue City, and anyone who violates it will be severely punished.

So even if they met Lauren.

As long as Roren didn't ask, they must follow the military order first, instead of surrounding him, acting as bodyguards or other things.

After the patrol left, the surrounding crowd suddenly fell silent.

The ruler of this city was right in front of them, thinking of the legends about each other, his eyes immediately became hot.

An old man broke out of the crowd suddenly, and stepped forward step by step under the gaze of others.

He raised his chest to Lauren very respectfully, and said excitedly.

"My lord, thank you for your kindness. It is your greatness that allows us to live a safe and prosperous life now..."

"Our family was saved by you, your light is more dazzling than the sun and the moon!"

"Praise you!"

What is the heart of the people.

There is no need for exaggerated ostentation, no need for colorful flowers, just an ordinary old man, bowing to him with the cleanest and purest emotions can represent everything.

Lauren felt the old man's gratitude without the slightest interest.

That rock-solid heart of iron and blood also melted at this moment.

A strong sense of accomplishment rose in my heart.

Although as the Grand Duke of Demons, he has killed countless people, but what he does is cleaner than most of the Illuminati sects in this world.

Perhaps good and evil have always been blurred.

Who can define the boundaries of this?

The words of the old man activated the surrounding crowd.

Seeing this scene, those old residents who have lived in Huiyue City for several months also moved forward excitedly to salute.

Use their most humble gestures to pay the highest respect to the king of this land.

"Praise you, great Lord Laurent!"

"Goddess, we must have done a great deed in our previous life to meet you in this life..."

"A great existence favored by the gods, your humble people pay you the highest respect..."

Now they can get paid as long as they work, they can have endless food, they can have a clean and tidy house to live in, and they can not be oppressed by the nobles...

Compared with the previous life, they are living in paradise now.

They had only seen it in dreams before.

So the gratitude to Lauren is the deepest gratitude in my heart.

Without this great existence, they would still be living in war, poverty and turmoil.

How can it be like now, after work every day, not only can arrange time freely, if you want, you can also go to the newly opened tavern for a few drinks, and listen to the historical stories of the troubadours inside.

The old residents were grateful, while the new residents were stiff and embarrassed.

They have just arrived in this city, and they are far from experiencing the beauty of the city of Huiyue.

Even when I first arrived two days ago, I saw demons, orcs, and rock giants, and I was almost scared to pee.

Only now are they reluctantly accepting the fact that all kinds of strange beings live with them.

But there is still a long way to go before integrating into the city.

But the people around bowed, and they didn't dare to stand alone.

Afraid of being seen by others, he also bent down quickly.

Seeing this scene, Lauren couldn't help smiling.

After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice.

"Excuse me, my people."

"You are all citizens of Huiyue City, and you have worked hard and made contributions to Huiyue City."

"As long as you continue to work hard, I will give you a better life in the future."

"In this land, as long as you obey my orders, do things according to the rules of the city hall, and obey the law, no one can harm you.

Everyone has a bright future! "

These words immediately caused an uproar in the surroundings, and those old residents who had already received benefits immediately praised them loudly.

The newcomer saw that the legendary city lord who controlled the power of the devil was so easy to talk to.

The restlessness in my heart suddenly relaxed for the most part...

"Sure enough, it is an existence favored by the goddess in the legend. It is really impressive."

After Lauren simply said a few words, he didn't linger, and walked directly along the street.

But this time, he restrained his breath and was no longer as ostentatious as before.

After strolling around the residential area, he initially estimated that the number of residents in Huiyue City may have exceeded 8,000 at this time.

More than doubled than before.

Apparently, during the period of his exploration of the Last Land, Ariel's plundering of the population was carried out very thoroughly, cleanly and beautifully.

The center of the residential area is a small square where many children are playing.

Several bakeries and a tavern opened around the square.

It can barely be regarded as the core area.

Because the city hall manages all supplies, the business in Huiyue City is still close to non-existent.

This is also impossible. There is a shortage of materials, and business cannot develop.

Lauren's goal is also very clear.

In the early stages of a power, it is necessary to concentrate its strength on major tasks, and there is no need to waste resources on it.

Business is an industry that is suitable for development after it has developed to a certain stage and has the soil for survival.

Developing ahead of time may become a burden in this chaotic world.

In addition to the residential area, he walked through the paper mill, brewery, city wall, weapons department, etc.

After seeing it personally, I have a good idea of ​​the current development of Huiyue City.

Field trips are completely different from simply listening to reports.

After inspecting around, Lauren didn't go back to the castellan's manor, but went directly to the city hall.

Ariel, who was busy, saw Lauren suddenly appearing, and the smile on her face was as bright as a summer flower in an instant.

There was unconcealable joy in his tone.

"Master Lauren, are you done with the Valley of the Ruins?"

Looking at his right-hand man, Lauren was also in a good mood.

This girl is the ballast stone of Huiyue City, handling all political affairs in an orderly manner.

He didn't hide anything, he repeated the words of the dark blood dragon, and finally said softly amidst the girl's shocked expression.

"I've given Winnie and Klossus the responsibility for the end of the land. With them here, there will be no problems for the time being."

"The more important task now is that we have to deal with the affairs of Glorious Moon City."

The city of Huiyue is his foundation, no matter what he does, he must not forget this.

"I just inspected the residential area and saw a lot of new people. Are these all thanks to you?"

Lauren said and slowly sat on the armchair, "How many residents do we have now?"

Ariel immediately made tea for him.

"Lord Lauren, two weeks ago, we sent people out to open up trade routes, and found many villages that were being attacked by orcs."

"There were no shelters in those villages, and the casualties were heavy..."

"After the news came back, we sent a large army to bring those civilians back to Huiyue City."

"The current number of residents has exceeded 12,000!"

12000 people?

Lauren was taken aback, this figure was much more than he expected.

There was a satisfied smile on his face.

"Not bad, well done."

"Population is the most basic unit of production. The larger the population, the greater the productivity."

After he paused for a moment, he continued to exhort.

"But there is one thing to pay attention to - we must do a good job in logistics and security work."

"We used to have only 2,000 residents, but now it has doubled, which will definitely bring a series of problems."

"I don't want to see chaos in Huiyue City."

Ariel raised her head and said.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency Kuer has set up a new security corps with more than 300 people, and they are patrolling day and night. There will be no accidents!"

"As for logistics, next week, our food will be harvested."

"Because of the fertile land, this batch of blue hearts grows exceptionally luxuriantly, and the food produced can supply at least 30,000 people for a year."

After Ariel finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to think of something, got up and came to the desk, and took out a letter.

"Master Lauren, the people we sent into the Misty Mountains have already made contact with the elves."

"This letter is written to you by the elf princess..."

With a delicate expression after speaking, he took out the second letter.

"This letter is given to you alone by an elf named Ai Rui."

"The elf lady asked us to bring you a message alone... She said that she is waiting for you in Emolia, and she has prepared elf wine and elf fruit for you."

After the series of words were finished, Ariel suddenly had a bit of bitterness in her eyes.

"Lord Lauren, do you and the elves... love each other?"

Lauren was dumbfounded when he heard this.

I didn't expect those elves to miss him so much.

Standing up, she stretched out her hand to take the two letters, and after a glance, she knew why Ariel said that.

The elf princess's is okay, there are only a series of elf letters on the envelope, but there is a string of crystal clear crystals hanging on the letter of Ai Rui.

Legend has it that elves are extremely fond of pure crystals.

There are people who love them, they will make crystal necklaces and bracelets and give them to their sweethearts......

"Good guy, are elves girls so bold?

However, I don't like flat chest much... what a pain. "
