Along the way, they defeated several small forces of a few dozen men, some dealt with by Su Yue's troops, and others by Europa. The spoils of war naturally increased as well. When Su Yue carried the corpses back to his territory, covered in mud and filth, he was overwhelmed with joy.
Abraham, the nobleman with a small mustache, was elegantly holding a long umbrella, while Kim Soo-ah, petite and lovely, was also hiding under the large black umbrella beside him.
The mud and puddles splashed up by the rain turned the hooves of Su Yue's white horse into a muddy gray.
Su Yue looked at the quiet scene in his territory.
"Why aren't you working? Where are you?"
Abraham, holding an umbrella, walked over gracefully and performed a medieval aristocratic greeting, about to kiss Su Yue's right hand. Su Yue felt a chill run down his spine and said, "Answer me? Where are the farmers?"
Abraham said, “The rain is too heavy, and working in the rain will cause them to catch a cold, so they have temporarily stopped working. It’s not too late to resume work after the rain stops.”
"I see."
Su Yue felt a sense of loss; he now understood the feelings of the capitalists from his previous life.
He'd love for these farmers to work 24/7. But now he has to build houses for them, feed them, build toilets, and they have to get a night's rest and get up early to work, all without night vision… Before the Turin world invaded reality, he was just an ordinary worker, but now his perspective has changed. You could say it's all about where you are in the room.
The umbrellas shielded them from the downpour, and the troops moved into the territory in a long line, a sight Su Yue was surprised to discover.
These clusters of fourth-tier houses had given the territory a lively, human feel. Through the houses, he could see many people cooking and talking, and he could hear voices and casual banter coming from the medieval human houses, which were mostly constructed of stone and other materials.
Should we take a look at the territory development log now?
Su Yue was somewhat curious.
Abraham laughed and said, "These two hundred corpses will be a lifesaver in our time of need."
What are you going to do?
Su Yue looked at him curiously, while Europa frowned. She had resurrected all three hundred-plus dead soldiers with a resurrection spell, but he was powerless to help the remaining two hundred dead. And now Abraham wanted to seize their souls?
"Owner!"
Europa gritted her teeth, looking at Abraham with fear... Not only her, but even the third-tier dwarf long-bearded hammer-wielder, Su Yue's second-highest combat strength in his army, felt a sense of terror.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! My soul is floating out!"
In the darkness, the souls of dwarves drifted from the dead corpses toward Abraham's outstretched right hand... The white souls, like flickering candles in the wind, like wisps of smoke rising in the rain, were not dispersed by the rain but instead took on various expressions and postures.
"Don't kill me!"
"Why, the devil, he's a devil!"
Looking at this scene, Su Yue couldn't help but think of a particular word.
"..."
Lord's Log: "Your subject Abraham has purchased 200 souls and has returned 100 gold coins to you. Do you accept?"
Su Yue shook his head and asked with some worry, "Abraham, will you always have me bring back corpses like this to deliver your souls?"
Abraham laughed and said, "Of course not, Master, you probably think far too little of me."
"That?"
Abraham smiled gently and said, "I can handle it myself."
"wipe!!!"
Su Yue thought to himself, "That bastard Lao Liu is too evil."
Seeing that the corpses were no longer of any use, Abraham continued, "Let's use the rest as fertilizer. We've just planned and built a lot of farmland that can produce resources and food, so composting will be just right."
Europa gripped Su Yue's arm even tighter... Although both of them were at the ninth rank, the strength of "Silver Palace Lord" Abraham was clearly extremely terrifying and insurmountable, causing even the angels to feel a sense of fear.
After a fierce battle with the dwarves and a long march carrying corpses, the troops desperately needed a rest.
The treatment is for the injury.
Those who need to rest and sleep should rest, those who need to fertilize the flowers, plants, and trees should go to the toilet to fertilize, those who are hungry should go to eat, and damaged weapons and armor also need to be repaired.
Su Yue handed the horse's reins to Jin Xiuer and walked with Abraham in the rain, saying, "The tavern and supply warehouse are now complete. A fourth-tier tavern should correspond to a fourth-tier hero, right? What do you think of this situation?"
As his core advisor, Abraham was now displaying not "supreme military strength," but "absolute wisdom."
Every choice he made brought Su Yue huge profits.
He was a top-notch advisor and strategist.
Abraham laughed and said, "You have captured more than 200 dwarves. Can you give them to me to use?"
"No problem."
Abraham said, tracing the raindrops falling from the umbrella, "After you left, I had a tailor make you a set of noble clothes. You should pay more attention to your appearance."
Su Yue shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in these trivial matters. What do you need the dwarves for?"
Abraham laughed and said, "Of course, it's blacksmithing and building the blacksmiths' guild. These dwarves often serve our Demon Lords, so you should know what they're best at, right?"
Su Yue: "Of course I know. Brewing wine, blacksmithing, dwarves are all born blacksmiths."
Abraham said, “So the second construction plan is clear: we must establish blacksmith shops in the territory as soon as possible, and then I will lead them to forge weapons and sell them in the market.”
Su Yue said, "The chosen ones can trade freely through the auction house."
Abraham said, “That’s great, it’s like having a new channel.”
"??? What do you mean by 'having an additional channel'? You already have your own channels?"
"hehe."
That damn sixth brother! How many things have been kept from him?
Abraham continued, “My esteemed master, there are many things and secrets I have not revealed to you, please do not blame me. Because of the worship of evil gods, some of my followers and worshippers have appeared in our territory. I will ensure that these people will not have a negative impact on the territory, and I ask that you tolerate their existence. Of course, if they violate the commandments or commit crimes, please do not hesitate to arrest them!”
Upon hearing Abraham's words, Su Yue had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
Ever since their territory came to worship "Lord of Darkness" Grazt, Abraham had been secretly doing something behind his back.
So he immediately opened the lord's log to verify!
"Holy crap!!!"
"That damn sixth brother!!"
A large pool of text, like dried blood, suddenly emerged from the mist; Abraham was capable of interfering with the territory's log information. This should have been known from the fact that Su Yue was forced to broadcast it to the entire server.
The Lord's Log now reveals its true form, which it never had before.
“Abraham corrupted and degenerated from a first-class farmer to a second-class usurer.”
“Abraham corrupted and degenerated into a first-order farmer, and from a first-order farmer he was promoted to a second-order gambler.”
“Abraham corrupted and degenerated the first-class vagrants, and the first-class vagrants transformed into second-class unscrupulous merchants.”
...
"Abraham's unscrupulous merchant and devil's follower has collected a total of 130,000 gold coins for you."
Su Yue stared blankly at his supplies warehouse and discovered that his gold coins had actually increased.
"???"
He had already spent almost all his gold coins, leaving him with less than 30,000. Adding the 20,000 gold coins Abraham had just given him, and the gold coins he spent on buying souls, his warehouse now contained a whopping 130,000 more gold coins!
"Holy crap, Abraham, you robbed my territory?"
Abraham smiled gracefully:
"You may have heard the saying that when money starts to speak, even God has to bow down and confess."
"N-no... I've never heard of it."
130,000 gold coins! That's enough to buy 130 sets of armor! I've only been gone for less than a day, and my treasury has already grown by so many gold coins? Abraham is a devil after all; he seems to have a natural ability to collect gold coins and money... This guy is no ordinary sixth brother.
This is my future prime minister, Heshen! He's the biggest economic fraudster in the future territory... cough cough, no, not an economic fraudster, but a financial tycoon!
"you……"
Abraham smiled and winked at Su Yue, then said something that almost left Su Yue speechless with shock.
"From this day forward, as long as I am here, you can squander money as you please and never have to worry about running out of money again. Whether it's the Imperial Mark, the rupee, or the dinar, all the money in the world will be under the control of us devils."
"..."
Su Yue's pupils trembled violently...
At that moment, only one thought occupied his mind: So, all the big devils are actually in finance!
What does 130,000 gold coins a day mean?
Even an ordinary lord in the world of Turin, or an elite guild leader, would probably need to mobilize all guild members to raise this huge sum of money. 130,000 gold coins is just the gold coin income brought by the Great Demon in one day. What does that mean?
130,000 gold coins a day, 1.3 million gold coins in ten days, and 3.9 million gold coins in a month?
Is there no law? Is there no justice?!
"The speed at which these devilish followers amass money is absolutely outrageous!"
"And who knows if the speed of making money will increase in the future? Players can buy any resources through the auction house system; with money, you have everything!"
"I'm a player, you know."
Su Yue's brain was buzzing.
Every lord should understand clearly that there are no bad subordinates, only bad lords.
Su Yue, who was originally torn between choosing Europa Paradise or the Cthulhu faction, found his feelings for Abraham and the scales of fate tipping in his favor—he couldn't help it, Abraham had given him so much!
"That damned guy, he's made the lord obsessed with money. His eyes are only on dollars!"
Jin Xiuer comforted her, "Sister, don't worry, Abraham is a good man."
Europa said, "He'll corrupt the Lord sooner or later! He's a top-tier evil creature... I must protect the Lord's safety no matter what."
Jin Xiuer said with a grin, "Protect? How do you protect me? By running into the lord's arms in the middle of the night and sleeping with the lord?"
"You!~"
At this moment, the fine rain did not diminish the perfect beauty of the angel before them; instead, it added a touch of shy charm. Jin Xiu'er, a succubus and a divine architect, gently embraced Europa's arm and said, "You are truly beautiful. I'm sure the lord likes you too?"
In the past life, women were described as "the most beautiful," meaning they were the most beautiful women, the epitome of beauty.
A stunning European beauty with long chestnut hair, her every move graceful and captivating.
It's hard not to be tempted.
"..."
Jin Xiuer suddenly said, "Why don't you marry the lord?"
"Get married."
A mixture of shyness and madness flickered in Europa's eyes... "I... I can't tell you anymore, I have to go reorganize the troops."
A faint smile appeared on the succubus Jin Xiuer's face.
"Please fall quickly, Miss Angel."
"And tonight, things are probably going to get interesting."
