Chapter 439 The Trailing Golem
Demon Hearts are almost the same thing in the demon world. As for why it is almost, it is because the common equivalent in the demon world is a currency called Magic Coin. However, the exchange rate between Magic Coins and Magic Hearts of different levels is fixed, so Magic Hearts are often used directly as currency.
Previously, in the Monster House, the two black objects that Illidan took out were two things he got after killing some monsters on the road. He took them out to confirm with the bat-winged demon whether the Demon Hearts were this kind of thing.
The result of the identification is naturally good. One of the two Demon Hearts that Illidan took out from the space ring is level 5 and the other is level 6. Just these two Demon Hearts provided by the monsters he killed casually can allow him to live a good life in an ordinary demon town.
In addition, Illidan also understood why there are no big demon forces willing to take root in the Abandoned Land. Perhaps because there are many cross-border altars, there are almost no powerful monsters living in the Abandoned Land. As a result, the demons who need to rely on the devil's heart to strengthen their strength will not want to live on this barren soil.
About the information and knowledge of the devil's heart. Illidan asked more details about the social organization of the demons. The other two areas are unclear. In the largest land of the Abyss, the social structure of the demons is similar to the city-state system, but it is mixed with some feudal structures.
At the top, there is naturally an epic demon king. The demon king mentioned here refers to the demon who established the demon city and became the master of a city. According to statistics, there are a total of 134 demon cities in the entire Abyss Land. Of course, the number of demon kings is more than that.
Those who can establish demon cities are considered strong in the demon king level. Below the demon city, there is a ruling structure of one level after another.
It should be noted that in addition to the demon king, demons from legendary to silver levels are also divided into titled demons and ordinary demons.
Let's put it this way, the difference between a titled demon and an ordinary demon is like the difference between a demon king who can build a castle and an ordinary demon king. According to the difference in levels, from legendary to silver, titled demons have titles ranging from demon duke to demon baron.
Every demon who can be titled can be said to be the pinnacle of the same level of demons. Generally speaking, a sky-level demon with the title of demon marquis can have the strength to compete with weaker legendary demons, and the same is true for other levels.
Demons with titles have the qualifications to build small cities, towns, and even villages according to their own levels. Only demon gathering places with lords can be considered within the system. The rest of the villages and towns formed by ordinary demons spontaneously gathering together are often not recognized.
Strangely, titles such as demon dukes and demon earls need to be recognized in the castle; but titled demons with their own territories do not need to fulfill any obligations to the castle. Even if the titled demon city went to war with other forces, these classes that could be called demon nobles could still choose whether to help the demon city.
This might be related to the chaotic environment in the demon world, and the rampant monsters outside the demon gathering place. Demon city generally does not give any shelter to the titled demons, so those demon nobles do not fulfill any obligations to the demon city.
After learning about the demon nobles, Illidan's first thought was that he must become a demon noble with his current identity. As a privileged class, the information that demon nobles can obtain must be much more than that of ordinary demons. Maybe from the mouth of a demon noble, he can get news about the heart of darkness.
But after the bat-winged demon explained to him the difference between the types of demons, Illidan felt that this method would not work when he was a fire demon.
The types of demons in the entire demon world can be said to be strange and varied, but they are generally classified into two categories. One is the flesh and blood demons that most demons belong to, that is, the body structure is made of flesh and blood. The other is the elemental demons that have almost no physical existence, such as fire demons.
Long, long ago, elemental demons were actually classified as monsters. However, elemental demons are intelligent and gradually recognized as a type of demon after some strong men appeared.
But the types are different after all. Elemental demons mostly live in the Lava Kingdom and Ice Purgatory, while flesh-blood demons are active in the Abyssless Land. It can be said that even though they are both demons, there is still little intersection between elemental and flesh-blood demons.
This is also one of the reasons why the Goler Demon was willing to bet with the Bat Wing Demon before. There are very few elemental demons active in the Abyssless Land. By the way, because of the different types, few elemental demons can get the title of nobility in the Abyssless Land, even if their strength has reached it.
Well, it seems that it is difficult to obtain the identity of a demon noble in the Abyssless Land with the identity of a Flame Demon. It is better to wait until the skill of the Transformation Demon cools down and transform into another demon belonging to the flesh-blood species.
However, the Flame Demon form may be used when traveling to the Lava Kingdom. It is said that because they are a minority, elemental demons are more united. With the identity of a fire demon, I think I can get along better in the lava kingdom.
It is difficult to get any valuable information from a bat-winged demon who roams in the town. Illidan is already satisfied with the general understanding of the social structure of the demon world and the magic heart and magic coins. As for more things, maybe he can get them from the minds of those guys following him?
Illidan glanced back with a cold gaze. Although he did not find any traces of demons or monsters in his sight, with his strong perception, Illidan could indeed feel a creature hiding behind the rocks and following him from a distance.
With a cold smile on his lips, Illidan pretended not to know and continued to move forward. It's interesting that there are demons who follow him recklessly. Maybe it was because he took out the magic heart to check in the monster's house before, which made some demons greedy?
But ordinary demons would probably dare to attack and kill demons like him who can hunt strong monsters. Those who dared to come and rob after realizing that the magic heart he took out was not a low-level magic heart must be demons with strength and status. Such demons should know more.
Leaning against a boulder, the Golem that ran out of the Monster House patted his chest with his sharp claws. Illidan's glance back just now almost scared out his magic core. With its strength, if it was discovered by the Monster Hunter, it would probably die without a burial place.
That's right, the one following Illidan was the Golem servant in the Monster House. On the surface, it was just a servant, but in fact, this Golem served the lord of the town of Biwater, Viscount Biwater. In other words, the Monster House is actually the property of Lord Biwater.
The demons who have been hanging around in the town for many years know that the Monster House is the property of the lord, so they rarely make trouble there. As the lord's spy, after discovering Illidan, who seemed to be the "fat sheep" of the Monster Hunter, the Golem quickly informed the news through other demons serving the lord, and then followed Illidan.
The other demons in the Monster House were also interested in Illidan, but they all knew that the Lord would know about Illidan's wealth after he showed it in the Monster House. Considering Illidan's possible strong power and the Lord's power, the other demons put away their little thoughts.
The Lord should be here soon, right? If he doesn't come soon, I will be unable to catch up with the speed of the Fire Demon. The Gole Demon was full of anxiety. If Viscount Biwater could get a lot of benefits from Illidan, he would definitely share some with it as the discoverer. This kind of thing is not without precedent.
Looking at Illidan's back from a distance, the Gole Demon tiptoed from one rock to another, trying to follow him without being discovered by Illidan.
Finally, the string of bell-like ornaments hanging on the Gole Demon's waist trembled slightly. With a happy face, the Gole Demon looked back.
From a distance, it could see dozens of black dots rushing towards this direction. Looking back at Illidan who seemed to be unaware, Golem stood up excitedly from his hiding place and waved his claws quickly behind him.
Since the people sent by the Viscount have arrived, there is no need to hide. Even if the monster hunter finds out about his tracking, he can't escape. This time, I can get a lot of magic coins, right? Haha.
When the dozens of black dots behind him rushed to his side, Golem suddenly found that Viscount Biwater was also in the team of robbery.
Trembling in front of Viscount Biwater, Golem reported to him how he had been tracking Illidan all the way and where Illidan was now. Viscount Biwater stared at Illidan's back, which seemed relatively small in the distance, and uttered a noncommittal hum.
Originally, he didn't need to go out in person for such things. But after receiving the news, Viscount Biwater learned from the demons in the Monster House that the Demon Heart that Illidan took out was likely not only level 4, but level 5.
Feeling that the target's strength and the gains that could be obtained might be greater than the previous operations, Viscount Biwater took action personally.
