Chapter 392 Traveling Merchant

Demon King Year 649.

February 21st, morning.

Kaimen City.

Although Viola took this place without any soldiers, many buildings were damaged due to the fire in the city and the white dragon making a fuss in the city.

But now they have basically been repaired, and Kaimen City has returned to its former peace and prosperity, with merchants coming and going.

Wars are not new, and as long as it is not a siege, it is impossible to stop the caravan from moving forward.

However, many nobles and officials in Kaimen City were confiscated by Viola for treason, and there was not enough manpower all of a sudden.

Before all government departments resume their normal functions, they can only temporarily operate at overload.

Of course, Viola can't be a hands-off boss. The affairs of Leon Territory have just been handed over to Grand Duke Weiss, and Viola has not been idle for long. She has to start busying herself with the government affairs of Kaimen City again.

As usual, Viola was reading documents in the office, but the difference was that there was an uninvited guy chattering beside her.

"The defense barrier of Kaimen City has been repaired. I personally supervised and guided the repair. It is stronger than before."

"Yes."

"The gangs in the sewers have also been cleared. The wealth counted so far has reached 50,000, and there are still many hidden wealth waiting to be excavated."

"Yes."

"The construction of the temple of the Lord is going very smoothly. I specially designed a set of pulleys, but it is not easy to find high-quality stone. I am currently looking for a stone supplier."

"Yes."

Viola put down her pen and looked helplessly at Aoerdai who rushed into the office early in the morning:

"My dear cousin, you came here specially, not to report these things to me, right?"

"I just want you to know that I haven't been lazy during this period."

Viola didn't believe it. She knew Aoerdai too well.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Uh... this is what happened. I checked the records and found that one of the seven apostles in the mythological era..."

"No need to say."

Viola picked up the pen again:

"You want to find the Demon King's Ring again, right? I'm telling you, it's not possible."

"Hey..."

"Don't drag the sound!"

Aurda is very interested in the relationship between the Demon King's Ring and the Demon King God, and what happened in the mythological era. Even if she is busy, she will find time to look for clues.

But if Aurda wants to verify it on the spot, she can't go by herself. It's too risky to do so.

Because of the last incident, Aurda may have been targeted. She can't return to the academic city to recruit guards for the time being. In other words, if she really wants to find the Demon King's Ring, she can only find people from Viola's men.

This means that if Viola doesn't nod, Aurda will never find anyone.

"The Lord has specifically told me not to look for the Demon King's Ring again, at least not for the time being."

"But I'm very confident this time."

"That won't work either!"

"At least check the correctness and dig it up later..."

"No means no, I'm sure you'll change your plan when you get there even though you said you'd check."

Aurora has absolutely no credibility in this regard.

Just when Aurora was about to try to persuade her again, Zora suddenly knocked on the door.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness. There's a merchant outside who wants to see us. We think she's suspicious, so we controlled her in advance."

"Merchant?"

Viola thought about it and hadn't arranged any meetings with any merchants recently.

"You don't know, right? Okay, we'll drive her away right now."

"Wait."

Aurday suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Is her name Theresa, and she claims to sell anything for money?"

"Uh, yes, do you know her?"

"Yes, she might be here to see me, bring her here."

Zora looked at Viola, and when she saw her nod, she turned around to lead the way.

Viola seemed to be a little interested in this businessman who would sell anything for money.

–--——---——

Soon, the businessman named Theresa was brought into the office, followed by Shelley and Zora, probably because they were afraid that she would suddenly hurt someone.

Theresa was carrying a big backpack, a thick travel suit and a big cloak, and it jingled when she walked. I don't know what was stuffed in her bag.

And what was more conspicuous than the backpack was her head.

Theresa's body was humanoid, but her head was a red-haired fox head.

She was a fox person, a very smart race.

Most fox people will wander around and spend most of their lives on the road. Many of them have become merchants who travel all over the world and are famous in the multiverse for their unique shrewdness and ability.

And among fox people, there are a lot of mages and warlocks. It is rumored that they are a race favored by magic. Even pure merchants met on the road may have one or two small spells.

"Oh, oh, respected Viola, the traveling merchant Theresa greets you."

Her voice sounds young, but oily.

"Your knights are very alert, which is a good thing, but I hope they can be more friendly. My wrist is almost broken."

"I believe my knights are just performing official duties."

"Of course, I believe it, Your Highness."

As she said, she looked at Olde again.

"Miss Olde, you are really hard to find."

"Stop complaining. I won't give you less money. Did you find what I want?"

"It took a little effort and a little favor, but I finally found it."

Theresa untied her backpack and took out a book that was obviously a handwritten copy.

"The oldest apostle poetry collection you asked me to find is here, but..."

She rubbed her fingers:

"You know, this is not easy, so I want three thousand gold coins."

"I bought it!"

Aurday did not hesitate at all. As long as this poetry collection was genuine, Aurday could more accurately locate the route of the seven apostles' actions in the past, and also more accurately locate the location of the Demon King's Ring.

"Thank you for your patronage. It's worth my trip."

Theresa's face was filled with a smile from the heart. Of course, who wouldn't be happy to make money.

Three thousand gold coins is a sky-high price that most people can never afford, but for Aurday, this price is very suitable, and it may even be considered cheap.

At this time, Viola asked:

"I heard that you will sell anything as long as you can afford the price, right?"

"Yes, you can always trust the credit of the traveling merchant Theresa."

"Then you should also know the situation I am facing now. I want the troop deployment of the four-nation coalition. Can I get it?"

"Coincidentally, I was waiting for you to say this."

Trosha took out another stacked map from his bag:

"Compared to the poetry collection requested by Miss Ordai, your request is relatively easy, but given its importance, I want one thousand gold coins, and I will also accept gems of the same price."

The so-called troop deployment refers to the deployment of the four-nation coalition in the Avarus Demon Kingdom, where they are attacking, how many people, and other information.

It is not difficult to find out this part of the information, but the difficulty lies in accuracy and integrating all the information.

If Trosha is not lying, this is not something that a traveling merchant can get...
