Chapter 494: Who Stole Our Sulfur?
After chatting with Little Patton for a while, Matthew asked him to wait in the cemetery while he quickly changed his clothes and rode his pegasus to Rolling Stone Town.
Tonight was the day that Rheagar would head to Purgatory.
Matthew planned to send him off.
Olis speed was very fast. It would have taken him half an hour to get there by foot, but now he only took less than five minutes.
This provided Matthew with great convenience.
After entering the town, he found a hidden place to land. Oli very cleverly cusgmsea nersell as an oramary norse.
Matthew came to the camp next to the lieges residence and instructed Oli to wait there. He walked in without leashing her.
Rheagars operation tonight was a secret.
Not many people in the Lords Guards knew about it.
Matthew walked all the way over and greeted the knights on guard duty. He arrived at the basement without any obstructions.
He waited for a while before Zeller arrived.
Rheagar and the two knights who followed him, Asma and Dulin, would arrive later.
Until today.
With Rheagar and Zellers revelation, Matthew had a clearer understanding of the portal and the situation in the Kingdom of Suki.
The portal was currently half-activated.
This meant that Rolling Stone Town could freely control the opening or closing of the portal, while the other portal located in the Kingdom of Suki could only passively accept the arrangement of this side.
The two knights, Asma and Dulin, had rushed back to rescue them because of the news of the three evil organizations besieging Rolling Stone Town.
When they returned, they found that the evil organization had already disbanded. They asked Rheagar to open the door to Purgatory.
They knew that Rheagar would go to the edge of Purgatory to hunt regularly, so they offered to do that for him.
These two knights had probably returned from Inferno the day before yesterday.
Matthew didnt get to meet them face-to-face, and the information he knew was provided by Rheagar during their chat.
It was said that the two knights took advantage of the confrontation between the Kingdom of Suki and the Bru tribe to kill many demons and devils. They had obtained many high-level spoils of war that could only be obtained in the lower planes.
The spoils of war would be a boost to the finances of Rolling Stone Town.
Only then did Matthew understand the financial model of Rolling Stone Town.
No wonder Rheagar was able to maintain such a generous policy while accumulating a considerable amount of wealth.
The tranquillity of Rolling Stone Town was actually a realistic fairy tale that Rheagar had weaved himself.
Many industries were supported by the City Hall at a loss.
Behind the happy smile of every resident of Rolling Stone Town, there might be a demons corpse lying in a pool of blood.
It sounded a little funny, but it was the truth. Matthew only had two comments about this.
First, it was pretty good.
Secondly, it was fortunate that he was not a lord. Otherwise, hed have too many things to worry about.
Even though Rheagar had the Teleportation Gate to Purgatory, hunting demons was no laughing matter.
The risk involved was much greater than robbing the surrounding villages.
Matthew thought that while Rheagar looked like he had nothing to do, he probably spent most of his energy on this.
When Rheagar and the other two knights arrived, they were still talking.
The changes in Escana, the realm between purgatories, are more exaggerated than you can imagine. We havent been there for a few years, but we found that it has changed greatly.
Whether its in the Suki Territory or in the Bru Tribe, there are huge runestones, runic skylines, and pillars of light that transmit energy by the roadside.
The speed at which their technology is changing is shocking. I suspect that both sides have the shadow of the outer plane or even the gods helping them.
As Asma walked, she adjusted the pauldrons on her body.
Matthew noticed that it seemed to be a type of implanted construct.
When Soria talked about Construct Art, she mentioned that the demons were good at the Implantable Construct. Asma and Dulin had many Implantable Constructs.
However, their constructs were indeed relatively obvious. Even if they were implanted inside the body, the constructs were easily identified by the naked eye.
Matthew didnt quite understand what they were talking about.
He only knew that the plane where the Kingdom of Suki was located was called Escana. Escana was actually an area that bordered Purgatory and Abyss.
There were many humans, tieflings, and demons living there.
The humans lived in the Holy Brilliance Fort, which was far away from the battlefield. The tieflings lived in the Kingdom of Suki, and the demons formed the Bru tribe.
The latter two had been in constant conflict recently, and the battle situation was erratic.
Its not that exaggerated. I went to the Deer Hunting Plain last year. Although the demons have new weapons, their combat effectiveness hasnt increased significantly.
Rheagar did not seem to care about Asmas reminder.
Du Lin interrupted,
Rheagar, youd better believe what weve seen and heard. Ive asked your knights. In order to reduce the casualty rate as much as possible, youve been leading them to only plunder the small forces on the edge for the past few years. Youve never been close to the center of Escana.
But were different. This time, we went to the vicinity of the Old Kingdom. The tribes there not only updated their equipment, but they also mastered a very strange resurrection technique!
Otherwise, how could Asma and I be injured?
Rheagar frowned and nodded.
I understand. Ill be careful. When we get to Red and Black, Ill find someone to ask..
