Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hearing each other's questions, Roland and Bast looked at each other, and then the Evil Balrog answered: "We come from the rocky land."

    The leader of the demon clan frowned and looked at Roland and Bast again.  The rocky land that lies beyond the borders of the demon world is not a place where just any creature can stay. It is home to all kinds of insidious and powerful abyss creatures, and it is almost impossible for weak creatures to have a foothold.  Because of this, being able to come out of the rocky land alive is the most obvious symbol of strength.

    By judging the obvious direction in which Roland and Bast came, this demon actually already had the answer in his mind, and now he just got confirmation from the other party.

    The leader of the demon cavalry, who was sitting astride the Velociraptor saddle, could naturally see that Roland and Bast were extremely powerful. Not to mention anything else, the extremely heavy armor on Roland's body alone was beyond the capabilities of any high-level warrior.  Affordable and still mobile.  However, due to his duty, the demon still said loudly and resolutely: "For outsiders, by the order of the lord, I will impose an entry tax on you."

    He waved back, and a demon behind him jumped down from the Velociraptor and walked towards Roland and Bast. He took out a special scroll that seemed to be made from the fur of some kind of magical beast from his arms.  Come to show them.  Various taxation clauses are written on the scroll in dense Demonic language, along with relevant explanations.

    At the signature of the scroll, a dancing fire emblem replaced the signature.  The coat of arms is written with a special magic potion and contains a deep magical aura. This is the seal of the demon lord here. Any creature with a certain level of power can easily feel it, which means that the tax collection has no legality.  Doubtful.

    Seeing this order from the lord, Evil Flame Demon and Roland couldn't help but be a little surprised.  There are dozens of tax collection clauses on the scroll. According to the above clauses, since Roland and Bast came all the way from areas outside the Demon Realm, they should both pay double entry tax, and the amount is not the same.  Fei, if the terms on the scroll are implemented, then the demon lord here may not be exaggerating to use the word "greed" to describe his harvest of wealth.

    "When was this decree issued? It seems that there was no entry tax when I passed through this place two hundred years ago." Evil Flame Demon Bast raised a question.

    "For outsiders, the current lord Bassetian inherited the title of hereditary baron one hundred and thirty years ago. This decree was also issued at that time, so it is normal for you not to know." For the strong,  The leader of the demon cavalry showed considerable patience.

    "Okay, if there is no doubt. Pay the tax now. You can pay disaster coins, poison pins, or other things of considerable value."

    As an important force in the Endless Abyss, the Demon Realm has certain connections with many regions and planes. It is precisely for this reason that currencies that are widely circulated in many main material planes are also available here.

    Having said that, Bast will naturally not say any more nonsense. Although for many demons living in the wild abyss, money is no different from useless garbage, but after more than six hundred years of evil flames, money is no different from useless garbage.  Mo Qu had no such idea.  He took out twenty bright and clear gold coins. These gold coins did not come from the endless abyss, but from a certain main material plane that even the devil knew nothing about. A long time ago, there were exquisite inscriptions on the gold coins.  The pattern has long since been worn away by the Evil Flame Demon's leisurely playing with it in units of ten years and hundreds of years.

    Money is the root of all evil. This is a proverb widely circulated in the main material plane. Therefore, in the endless abyss, gold coins have a popular name for demons - "disaster coins".

    A total of twenty disaster coins!  It is impossible to say that there is no physical pain.  However, compared with the monetary losses, resisting taxes and provoking the lord's army was the most unwise approach. The evil flame demon had no choice but to curse the greedy demon lord here.

    After completing the routine tax payment process, Roland and Bast received a tax payment voucher. Before leaving, the leader of the demon cavalry kindly reminded the two travelers that if they planned to enter the city, they must  Pay the "entry tax" accordingly.

    After the dragon knights left, Roland and Bast bypassed the abyss mushroom community while watching the actions of the demon cavalry from a distance.

    The previous large team had already approached the location of the Abyss Giant Mushroom Community.  More than 300 meters away from the giant abyss mushroom in the edge area, more than 30 velociraptors stopped in their tracks. The demon cavalry sat on their saddles and gave orders, and more than 20 purgatory kobolds  They scrambled to unload the supplies from the carts. Except for the huge wooden barrels, the seven carts were all filled with the corpses of a huge creature.

      Hypodonts are large creatures introduced from the outer plane. They have a pair of coiled horns and severely degenerated long teeth. The skulls of this creature are mostly hollow and have low intelligence. Their frightening appearance is actually just an illusion.  , despite being affected by the nature of the endless abyss plane, the aggressiveness of this creature is still minimal, so its status in the demon world can be said to be equivalent to cattle and sheep and other domestic animals on the earth, and it is raised and slaughtered in large numbers by the demons.

    After nearly twenty blunt-toothed beasts were unloaded from the cart, the infernal kobolds stood aside in fear. After the demon cavalry exchanged a few words, the three infernos who had not done well in the previous trip  The kobolds were dragged out of the team by the grinning demon cavalry. These poor little creatures made a low, almost whimpering sound from their throats. Their necks were flushed and their whole bodies were trembling, waiting for the tragic fate to come. They could not resist.  There was no way to resist.

    The black heavy sword was untied and held in his hand. The executioner demon cavalry stepped forward and beheaded the infernal kobolds kneeling on the ground one by one. The hot blood sprayed a bright red on the ground. The three infernal kobolds lost their heads.  They fell softly to the ground, while their kin huddled in a ball, silently watching the horrifying scene in front of them.

    "You guys carry these wastes over there too." The demon cavalry pointed at the corpses on the ground, as if they were saying something trivial, while the purgatory kobolds who received the order rushed up with fear and remained silent.  With a loud sound, he lifted up the corpses of his comrades on the ground and flew away into the distance with his membrane wings.

    There is no right or wrong, only power is the truth. This is the abyss and the law of the devil world.
