The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 740 - 244: Intelligence from the Human World

"This... does sound really strange, a curse isn't part of Holy Light's powers."

"Right? Even we think so," the Imperial Soldier sighed and continued, "We captured some prisoners, but those guys know nothing, they even think we did it, which is weird to us. Although Holy Light can blind people, it's obvious this was Undead Magic among them... Did the old guys in the Griffin Knights secretly learn tricks from Hell? But we can't just say that, let's just call it an accident, anyway, we won in the end."

Lumier asked in surprise.

"Are there still goblins alive?"

The Imperial Soldier nodded drunkenly.

"Yes, they're locked up in the prison by the port. We usually kill regular Demons, but goblins and Dark Night Elves, these hard currencies, are worth keeping."

Lumier asked with interest.

"What do you plan to do with them?"

The Imperial Soldier laughed and said.

"What else can we do? People from the Academic State took some for experiments, saying they want to pry the Magic Crystal Cannon blueprint from their minds, but I think they're dreaming. As for the rest, probably sell them to nearby mines or farms to work, that's pretty much their only value."

Lumier clinked his glass with his, took a sip of the strong liquor, and casually asked.

"I happen to have a farm in Thunder City, are these goblins diligent workers?"

The Imperial Soldier laughed and cursed.

"This bunch is lazy and stupid, if you're not careful, they'll slack off, but they're okay at digging coal... Why, are you interested?"

Lumier leaned in and said.

"To be honest, I'm quite interested."

The Imperial Soldier chuckled.

"You've found the right person, I'm quite familiar with the guards there, how many do you need?"

Lumier pretended to hesitate for a moment, then said.

"Two, I'd like to buy two first to see if they're useful. If they are, I'll buy more when I pass by on my way back. After all, they're soldiers from Hell, I'm worried too many will cause problems."

"What kind of problems could goblins cause, just whip them a couple of times and they'll be fine, you're too timid."

Seeing him buy just two, the Imperial Soldier looked regretful, sighed, and continued.

"...Besides, those guys won't live until next month, they'll be gone when you're on your way back."

"I'm a businessman, not a gambler, I have to consider risks before profits," Lumier shook his head, gently placed a gold coin on the table, "Don't worry, no matter how many I buy, you'll get your share... I think we can cooperate long-term."

Seeing the gold coin on the table, the Imperial Soldier's eyes widened, he couldn't help but swallow.

That's 10,000 copper coins!

Equivalent to two months of his salary!

"Brother... I've got to make friends with you! These two goblins, I'll give them to you! Where do you want to pick them up?" He said, his voice trembling with excitement, looking at the captain-like man as if he were seeing a gold mine.

Lumier thought for a moment and said.

"I'm here to replenish fresh water, I probably can't stay long, need to set off before dusk tomorrow, any good suggestions?"

The Imperial Soldier quickly nodded, smiled broadly, and said.

"No problem! Before sunset, I'll wait for you at the lumberyard on the west side of the city, there's a little stream there leading directly to the sea, you can dock your dinghy there!"

No one would notice the death of two goblins, and they were supposed to be disposed of anyway.

However, since it's his own business, he wanted to keep it low-key so others wouldn't hold it against him.

Luckily, Lumier sitting beside him thought the same, hoping to solve this quietly.

Later, he'll set up a Teleportation Array on the shore, once he gets those two goblins, he'll send them to Lord Demon King.

He doesn't even need to bring them on board!

Looking at the extended right hand before him, Lumier smiled, shook it firmly.

"Then, pleasant cooperation."

Along with the video and witnesses.

These things should be enough to help Lord Demon King!

...

While Lumier was plotting to send the survivors and the video from Seldo Port back to Hell, Luo Yan far away in Demon City also learned from the Padric Family that the Truth Department had begun an investigation into the front lines.

Although Mr. Feistin didn't actively help him, he gave quite a bit of help in terms of intelligence.

In fact, the Dragon family intended to target him, and the Padric Family was the first to warn him in advance.

Demon King Management Department.

At the performance review meeting.

Facing the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Luo Yan made a brief report, describing the current situation of the Maze in Thunder County and the nearby Campbell Duchy.

Simply put, the corrosion of the Great Graveyard is spreading further, more and more people unknowingly become accomplices to Demons, losing their faith while the grassroots society turns to sand, changing from a unified block to scattered grains.

Overall, the "insiders" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were very pleased with Luo Yan.

Moreover, his gradual infiltration approach inspired many Demons present.

One of the attending Demons was even a special professor at Demon King Academy.

Though this professor hadn't taught Luo Yan before, he admired Luo Yan's strategy to "promote social transformation to undermine Saint Sis's governance legitimacy," even invited him to hold a lecture at the school, sharing his experience in fanning the flames with fellow students.
