Chapter 1592 There Is a Mine in My Nest
……
It was already approaching evening, the temperature and brightness were dropping rapidly, and before I knew it, a light mist had floated over the capital.
The tall and majestic walls and buildings in the capital seemed to have washed away the dust in the mist, adding a bit of haziness, and also making the whole city more solemn and majestic.
A team of city defense soldiers composed of pure-blooded demons was leading Wang Yan and his party to the inner ring city gate.
Along the way, Wang Yan saw that many young lower-class races were squatting in the corners of the road with lonely expressions, waiting for people to hire them. This was their only way of life.
And those old and weak lower-class races had to go to the streets and alleys to search for one garbage can after another filled with rotten and dirty things. Others, in order to replenish the rare and precious pure water, lay down under the eaves of the corners of the walls, stretched out their tongues, and sucked the tiny dewdrops that condensed from the mist.
Like these lower-class races, they can no longer do decent physical work, and can only struggle to survive in this kind of city. Although they were not slaves, they lived like slaves.
They may have had hopes and dreams of working hard for a few years, making a fortune, returning to their hometown to embrace freedom and enjoy life. But when they really entered this city, they found that fate was like an invisible shackle that they could no longer break free from.
Just as Wang Yan had heard rumors before, in the outer ring of the capital, in addition to soldiers, there were poor slaves and lower-class races struggling to survive everywhere.
They were the basis for the normal operation of the city, but they were so small and insignificant that the gold coins earned from hard work for a lifetime could not even cover the cost of a casual meal for the nobles in the inner ring.
In the end, these ruled lower-class races could only work hard day after day, unable to integrate into the city, and unable to escape this fate.
"Those poor people are really an eyesore, sir, you don't have to pay attention to them." A guide soldier flattered Wang Yan with a flattering face.
In the words of these pure-blooded demons, the inner ring is the real capital of the gods, and the outer ring here is just a remote suburb for the lower class to live in. If they were not on duty, they would not live in such a place.
Of course, there are also advantages here.
For example, the lower races living in the outer ring all treat the pure-blooded demons as their masters. A soldier can do whatever he wants here, and it is common to be cheated. Moreover, the prices are cheap. What excites these demon soldiers the most is that they can keep a chick for a whole night with just a few gold coins.
Of course, such good things are unthinkable in the inner ring of the capital.
"Really? Just a few gold coins to keep a chick for a whole night?"
"That's right! The number of the lower class poor here is so large that it will scare you to death! Lord, let me tell you..."
Lord Chihuo has always indulged in wine and women, and he chats happily with the soldiers who lead the way around him, and from time to time he will let out a wretched smirk.
These soldiers who lead the way also have some vision.
Wang Yan used the breath-hiding technique, so outsiders could not detect the fluctuations in his true strength. However, these soldiers saw that the demigod king, the Red Demon King, was respectful to Wang Yan. In addition, Wang Yan himself was majestic, commanded the army, and brought so many precious slaves. Therefore, these soldiers concluded that this Lord Mo Yan must have an extraordinary background, and at least he was a demon king.
Therefore, they fawned on Wang Yan in the process of serving and guiding the way, and answered Wang Yan's seemingly unintentional chat in detail.
After a journey, Wang Yan also got a better understanding of the city.
This city is indeed very huge, so huge that it is probably several times larger than the largest city on Earth. It is like a giant beast that is constantly expanding on this plain, and it is getting bigger and bigger with the accumulation of years.
The largest area is naturally this outer ring.
This is the gathering area for the army, slaves, lower races, and foreign travelers. This area is a mixed bag, and with the huge influence of the capital of God, foreign races have been migrating here for many years, trying to take root and survive here. Therefore, some buildings in the outer ring have even expanded to the periphery of the city wall, and such areas are increasing year by year.
Over time, the outer city has become a huge outer settlement area, and the population of the lower races has reached hundreds of millions.
However, so many people and productivity, as well as the huge wealth brought, ultimately serve the real city area of God, that is, the inner city of the inner ring.
There are areas where the nobles live, and it is also where Wang Yan and his party are going to hang out.
In this way, after walking straight ahead for about dozens of kilometers, Wang Yan and his party, led by the pair of soldiers, came to an inner wall that was more majestic than the outer wall of God.
The terrain here is higher, the wall is more majestic, and even the guards exude a more unruly momentum.
"My lords, after passing this city gate, the inner city of God is inside."
The team of soldiers sent Wang Yan and others to the inner gate, and they kept flattering them, and they were not in a hurry to leave. It was not until Wang Yan rewarded them with a magic crystal coin that the small team of soldiers said goodbye and left with a smile on their faces.
"Tsk, it's the same everywhere." Lord Chihuo looked at the soldiers going away and expressed his dissatisfaction.
He had to give favors wherever he went to do business. He thought that this Purgatory God would be different, but in fact, it was still the same inside.
"Just consider it as the fee for our tour guide."
Wang Yan was already used to this. In order to save trouble, he also gave the inner gate guard a little tip, and took out the token to show the inner gate guard the identity of his group.
"Sir, welcome to our eternal immortal city!"
The quality of the inner gate guards is obviously higher than that of the outer city. These guards are vigilant and meticulous, but after receiving the tip and confirming the identity of Wang Yan and his group, their originally cold attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. Several people in front of the gate quickly flattered Wang Yan.
The class system in the hell world is strict, especially within the purgatory demon clan. The flattery of the powerful nobles is almost deeply rooted in everyone's bones.
In addition, now is the time for the selection of the hell conference, and the young talents of the entire purgatory demon domain and the demon kings of all parties have gathered in this ancient city.
As soldiers, they can get a good tip by currying favor with these young masters. After a few days, it can be higher than their annual income. Why not?
"Tell me, what are the good places in the great immortal capital?"
Wang Yan rode on his mount with an arrogant attitude, but he held an expensive magic crystal coin in his hand and threw it up and down.
The enthusiastic guards in front of the door had their eyes shining and their eyes staring straight, following the movement of the magic crystal coin up and down.
When he arrived here, Wang Yan also found that the military strength of these guards was a level higher than that of the Flowing Fire City of the Red Refining Demon King.
All the soldiers who served as guards here were all pure-blooded demons, and their strength was at least A-level. The two captains in front of them had reached the peak state of half-step S-level, and the deputies of the two captains also had the strength of half-step S.
With their advanced equipment, if they were placed in the demon king's personal guards in Liuhuo City, they would be small generals commanding thousands of people, but here they are just gatekeepers.
However, this is the capital of the gods, which has the best armaments and combat power in the entire Purgatory Demon Clan, which is also normal.
"My lord, I think you must also come to participate in the Hell Conference."
The guard stared at the magic crystal coin for a while, then retracted his gaze and said flatteringly, "If you want to stay, go straight along this Purgatory Avenue, and when you reach a large crossroad, turn left. There are hotel accommodation areas over there. If you want to enjoy our God City food, then you don't have to turn, just go straight ahead, about 20 kilometers, you can reach our God City's largest food area..."
The guard then introduced all the equipment and weapons, trading and repair, medicine materials, and a large market with all kinds of groceries.
At the beginning of the construction of this God City, various areas had been roughly integrated and planned, and it was traversed by two main roads in the east, west, south and north.
However, the area of the capital of the gods is too large. In addition to the big market pointed out by the guard, there are various residential areas, large and small markets generated by the residential areas, and streets and alleys. Even if you walk along the main road, if there is no one to guide you, you will get lost in this huge city if you are not careful.
"Hey, kid, is there such a place? That's the place. Hehe, you know."
When Wang Yan asked about the place, the Lord of Chihuo also leaned over from behind to talk to him. His wretched eyes were still shining, and the guards here naturally understood at a glance.
"Hehe, I know, I know. Go over there, yes, that's it, keep going, turn right at the intersection, and then turn left..."
The guard quickly introduced several large black markets and several large entertainment areas.
As a result, after he said this, Wang Yan could roughly piece together a map of the capital of the gods in his mind.
Next, they will continue to obtain information while enjoying fine wine and food. Maybe, they can find out the news of other demon gods and the clues of Wu Ya An Ge here.
"But my lords, I have something to remind you."
The guard looked at the slaves behind Wang Yan and kindly reminded, "Here, usually any lower races or slaves are not allowed to enter the inner city of the capital, but if these lower races or slaves are accompanied by a big man, then there is no problem. But my lords, you can't let your slaves walk around at will, otherwise it may bring you a lot of unnecessary trouble."
The Purgatory Demons were originally a native fighting nation in hell. They considered themselves the ruling class of the entire hell. Therefore, they have a high sense of superiority over other races, and believe that other races are objects to be conquered and must be managed by them.
This is especially obvious in the capital under the feet of the demon gods. Those who are regarded as inferior races and slaves must be strictly managed. Once they walk around randomly, they will usually be regarded as disrespectful to the demon gods. If these inferior races or slaves cause any trouble and anger a pure-blood demon, the outcome is self-evident, they will all be executed.
The guard received some benefits and had a good impression of Wang Yan. Seeing so many slaves behind Wang Yan, he thought that this lord might also be a young man who loves music, so he roughly told him the rules of Shendu, which are more strict than other cities.
"You are quite capable, this is a reward for you."
Wang Yan raised his hand and threw the magic crystal coin he was playing with to him, then drove his mount and led the team into the city.
"Thank you, sir! I wish you a happy time and win the first prize in the selection meeting!"
The guard received another magic crystal coin and was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly took several soldiers under his command to the back of Wang Yan and thanked him repeatedly.
The magic crystal coin is the currency used by the upper nobles. It contains a lot of pure energy. One coin is worth one gram of fire marrow. Among the ordinary class, it is worth three thousand gold coins.
In the outer city of the capital, an ordinary laborer earns more than other places, but it is only 20 to 30 gold coins a year, which is the income of these lower-class races. But ordinary soldiers like these guarding the city gate have a higher status than laborers, but their annual income is only two or three magic crystal coins.
Now Wang Yan has given a magic crystal coin and rewarded it twice in a row. If these brothers share it, it will be higher than their income in half a year. How can these ordinary guards not be overjoyed?
Of course, Wang Yan does have a lot of wealth now. Now, for him, things that can be solved with a little money are really not a big deal, it is better than going through a lot of trouble.
Although he spent a lot of money and resources to improve the strength of his men and build weapons and equipment a while ago, he has a mine in his old nest in Chilian Lake. In addition, he has taken in the wealth of another Chilian Demon King, and there is a grant from the Demon God Satan half a year ago.
All this not only makes Wang Yan's men strong and powerful, and the overall strength rises to a higher level, but also allows him to accumulate a lot of wealth.
However, on the other side of the earth, they are actively preparing for war, and there are many research and development projects, which consume a lot of resources. After Wang Yan built an army, the remaining resources and materials on hand were sent to the earth.
At present, almost all the materials and resources on hand are used up, but there are still a lot of magic crystal coins left.
Roughly calculated, Wang Yan now has more than one million magic crystal coins! Therefore, a few magic crystal coins are simply a drop in the bucket for him, and he won't even blink an eye.
There was no other way. Now he had money in his hands and a mine in his old nest. Even among the nobles in the inner city of Shendu, he was a wealthy man.
In this way, Wang Yan led his men through the city gate smoothly and walked into the real city center of Shendu.
But he had no idea that he and his group had fallen into the eyes of a group of greedy people.
