Chapter 92

The Demon King's City in the north has become more active. The nobles of the demon clan have begun to frequently lead their troops to attack human cities. Many border cities have been attacked, and disaster reports have been received frequently.

Although Dolei City is a long distance away from the Demon King's City, the heavy atmosphere has spread to Dolei City. The residents of Dolei City, who were originally excited about the electricity, have become depressed. When people greet each other, they always inevitably mention the distant Demon King's army.

In order to resist the distant demons, Lord Dean specially found the magic circle master Brian who was temporarily staying in Dolei City and asked him to set up a defensive magic circle for Dolei City that can cover the entire city. Brian, who had been refusing to do so, agreed to the task and started to build the magic defense circle every day.

As a shopkeeper, Jiang Li was sensitive to the change in the atmosphere. The number of customers who visited the shopping street every day began to decrease. The number of adventurers who usually came in large numbers was reduced by half, and many familiar faces disappeared.

When an old customer came, he bought a lot of instant noodles and other fast food and seasoning packets, filling his magic backpack with space for expansion until he spent the last gold coin in his pocket.

This regular customer was a chatterbox. "Boss Jiang Li, my partner and I are going to the Demon King's City."

Jiang Li was surprised: "Demon King's City?"

"Yes, we are going to attack the Demon King." The adventurer clenched his fists, and the thick muscles on his arms bulged: "In fact, when I left my hometown, I worked hard for the goal of defeating the Demon King. Over the years, I have been working hard to improve my strength and physique. Now is the time. The demons are too arrogant."

Jiang Li was slightly stunned, then picked up a piece of chocolate candy on the shelf next to the counter and put one into the gap of his backpack: "I heard that the journey to the Demon King's City is very long, and it is not easy."

"That's right, so we prepared enough supplies." The adventurer patted his backpack and laughed, "It's not easy to defeat the devil. We can't miss the delicious food in the supermarket on the road. We won't be able to eat these after leaving Dolei City, which will make this journey painful."

"Ding Dong--"

As he spoke, someone walked in from the door. The adventurer looked back and greeted him skillfully: "Niekomus."

Nekomus raised his head and looked at him, nodded at him, and quickly lowered his head to continue playing the game console in his hand.

He put the magic backpack on the cash register, and put a bag of gold coins on it, and said to Jiang Li: "I want those last time...ah!" Because of distraction, the character in the game console in his hand accidentally ran off the road and fell off the cliff.

Nekomis: "..."

The adventurer advised: "Nekos, don't be distracted when walking, it's easy to get into an accident."

Nekomis put the game console into the wide pocket of his robe and retorted seriously: "I was paying attention to my surroundings."

Jiang Li carried his backpack to the shelf, picked up snacks and put them into his backpack. Seeing the familiar conversation between the two, he asked curiously: "Do you know each other?"

"Yes, we met him in Levi's restaurant before. He had a fishbone stuck in his throat." The adventurer smiled and said, "That was really dangerous. I helped him pull it out."

Nekomis whispered: "I could have done it myself..."

"Boss Jiang Li, you didn't see it. The guy pinched his neck and looked like he was going to die. Everyone in the restaurant was shocked. Levi almost thought that the food he made would poison people."

Jiang Li felt the same way: "It is really painful to get a fish bone stuck in your mouth."

"Fortunately, there are many rivers in my hometown, and I have rich experience in eating fish. My fish bone extraction skills are first-class!"

The adventurer said, carrying his backpack, waving to Jiang Li, and walked out with his companions. I don't know if I will see you again one day.

When Jiang Li came out from behind the shelf, the game console appeared in the hands of the black-robed customer again. As he passed by, Jiang Li glanced at the screen. Nekomuro skillfully manipulated the game character to jump and sprint, flexibly dodging the boss's attacks, and occasionally finding opportunities to attack. The boss's health bar quickly dropped.

Jiang Li asked himself, the skills he had honed from playing games since he was a child were definitely not as good as the person in front of him.

He thought: Could he be the newbie?

But...

"Is this game almost finished?" Jiang Li said casually, "Are you playing the game too fast?"

"Yeah." Nekomus replied, "If I didn't have to charge the power bank, I could play faster."

Jiang Li wondered, "Is it troublesome to charge the power bank?"

Nekomus: "..."

The Demon King couldn't help but recall.

There was no sun in the Demon King's Castle all day, and naturally there was no sunlight. He tried to simulate a sun with magic, but when he just started the experiment, a large group of subordinates came and rushed into his door, thinking that he had encountered some attack. At the same time, the experiment failed. The fake sun was part of the magic and could not charge the power bank. Therefore, he had to leave the Demon King's Castle through a secret passage every day to expose the power bank to the sun.

Nekomus sighed. It would be great if the dwarves could build their power generation device in the Demon King's castle.

After packing up the things the black-robed customer bought, Jiang Li took out a few books from under the cash register and put them into his backpack.

Although Nekomus is now proficient in using the game console and has completed the game, the fact is that he cannot understand the plot of the game, and the unfamiliar text also makes him often miss important prompts in the game. Fortunately, the operation of most games is simple and can be figured out slowly, but in order to have a better gaming experience, the Demon King is working hard to learn unfamiliar texts.

Jiang Li packed him a few children's literacy books.

According to the owner of the supermarket, if he can learn this unfamiliar text, there will be countless stories and comics to read. The demon king, who used to go to human cities to buy storybooks, was eager to try.

The demon king picked up his full backpack and lingered in front of the shelf outside the door for a while.

This was a new shelf specially prepared by Jiang Li for customers from the other world. It mainly sold some entertainment products, most of which were educational toys such as puzzle blocks, and a small part of them were game console cartridges. Unexpectedly, these toys were very popular in the other world, especially after electricity was available. Jiang Li sold many game consoles.

Not to mention the demon king and the dragon, even Messenner bought one. He loved a farming game and worked tirelessly online every day to water and harvest vegetables and decorate his own home buildings.

Among them, the old-fashioned game consoles that Nekomon first played are more popular. Not only are they cheap, but the games are also easy to play, so ordinary residents can afford them.

Not long ago, a Tetris competition was held in the central square of Dore City, and an ordinary, unknown child won the championship. The prize was provided by Lord Dean, a year's worth of pickles.

Nekomus looked through the entire shelf from beginning to end. He already owned most of the toys and game cartridges on them, although he had not had time to play with some of them. Finally, his eyes stopped on the succulent tree next to it.

This strange tree has been placed here and has become the symbol of the supermarket. No one in Lalan Continent has ever seen such a plant, and it looks cuter than the magic plants in the Demon King's City.

Before he could ask what this strange plant was, the sound of a bicycle stopping at the door came. Nekomus looked up and saw an elf with pointy ears. He swallowed the words he hadn't asked, pulled down his hood, and left with his full backpack.

When the two passed by, Messenner seemed to have noticed something and stopped to look back. He frowned, but the black-robed human had quickly walked away.

"Strange..."

The silver-haired elf withdrew his gaze in confusion. Why did the human give him such a disgusting feeling?

But soon, his eyes were attracted to the succulent tree at the door.

Messenner put his palm on the plump leaves of the succulent tree, and fear came from the succulent tree. The leaves under his palm were shaking.

The elf whispered, "What are you afraid of?"

The succulent tree trembled and couldn't speak.

"Teacher?" Jiang Li walked out of the supermarket, "What's wrong? Why are you standing at the door instead of coming in?"

"I'm here to bring you the vegetables." Messenner picked up a basket of vegetables he had just harvested from the field from the bicycle basket. He paused, but still couldn't ignore the strange feeling. He looked at the black figure in the distance: "Who is that man?"

Jiang Li followed his gaze: "That, that's Mr. Nekomis."

"Nekoma?"

"He's not a resident of Dore City, but he should live not far away, so he often comes to Dore City." Jiang Li said: "He is quite famous in Dore City, teacher, haven't you heard of him?"

Messenner shook his head.

The customer in black robe is not only Jiang Li's big customer, but also a big customer of the entire shopping street. He is generous, never picky about the goods, and buys a lot at one time. In the casual conversations of the shop owners in the shopping street, most of the shop owners are impressed by him.

He also often appears in Levi's restaurant, and every time he orders a large table of fish, he will also pack up the huge portion of food before leaving. The customers of the restaurant are also impressed by him.

However, the elves who don't care about the outside world rarely notice these changes.

"He gives me a feeling, a little strange..." Messenner said hesitantly.

Somehow, Jiang Li also remembered the first time he saw Nekomus, the pair of scarlet eyes looking at him, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. After seeing them several times, he got used to those eyes, but the strange feeling he had when he first saw them often came up.

But what could be wrong with humans? Even the magic circle at the city gate didn't react. Could it be a demon?

Jiang Li suppressed the strange feeling. Although he was still a little confused, he was not worried.

After all, he was pretty powerful!

And...

Jiang Li raised his head and looked at the gray sky. Unknowingly, the hot summer in Dolei City had passed. This year's winter in Dolei City also came early. Soon, the first snow will fall.

When the first snow of winter falls, the Winter Snow Festival in Dolei City will soon arrive.

The city of Dolei, shrouded in the haze of the distant sky, urgently needs a lively festival to dilute people's fears.
