After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King Chapter 154 - 23: The Empire Abounds with Idiots and Goofbal

The Demon Control Area, which hadn’t welcod an official rchant caravan for a long ti, had finally received its first batch of rchant caravans... The previous ones from the Silver Moon Tree Court and those expensive war traders couldn’t be counted as official caravans.

This caravan from the empire had formally submitted docunts to enter the Demon Country, although the docunts still didn’t use the more formal term "Demon Control Area" and instead chose "Demon Country."

But it still didn’t prevent the Demon King’s territory from selling blue qing mushrooms to these caravans.

As of now, the specialty of the Demon King’s territory was the blue qing mushroom. This quite special crop was indeed very popular in various countries around the world... although Yila hadn’t eaten much of it before.

It could also be that he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Of course, even if the main purpose of these caravans was to purchase blue qing mushrooms, the Demon King’s territory still needed to replenish so basic supplies... such as frequently consud clay bowls and clay pots.

"So smooth..."

The man leading the caravan said this. Besides the coachman, he was the first to notice that the ground seed a little different. While the others were trading, he squatted down first and started studying the special bricks on the ground.

It looked like huge stone slabs cut from rather large rocks covered the ground.

The man, who had never seen anything like "cent," made the incorrect judgnt that "this is a huge slab" because of the construction batch lines between the cent sections.

"Have they already had the leisure to build sothing like this in the Demon King’s Territory?"

The man muttered to himself, then thought of another possibility. He speculated, "Or maybe Lord Yila, who has always lived in the empire, didn’t like dirt roads, so he forced the Demon King to build the road?"

After all, people in the empire already knew that Yila had arrived in the Demon King’s territory, and Yila, who had always lived within the empire, certainly didn’t like the feeling of stepping in the mud. With his great power, it was plausible.

Moreover, according to highly credible information, Lord Yila hated monsters very much. Thus, he would naturally hold no good attitude towards them, and it’s also reasonable for soone so arrogant to demand walking on a better road.

The more he thought about it, the more the man believed his speculation was correct. He confidently nodded, secretly laughing, feeling fortunate... This way, it benefited their caravan.

"..."

"Do you have seeds for pasture? Alfalfa or chicory?"

"..."

The caravan leader suddenly heard a familiar voice and turned his head incredulously. He then saw the man who seed never to have undergone any image change. He shouted in surprise, "Lord Yila?"

Because of his loud shout, others in the caravan also looked over and saw Yila standing there, arms crossed, with a calm face. For many people from the empire, it was their first ti seeing Yila this close.

And Yila’s reputation in the empire was also very good. Or should we say... after Yose’s death, if he hadn’t imdiately supported Isabella to succeed to the throne to show his stance, he would have certainly been placed in that position.

And once on the throne, or even becoming the crownless king as the regent, many things could not have been done... So such a future was never in Yila’s consideration.

Especially, though the imperial throne was appealing, if Satan Ye now begged him to beco the Demon King, he would not know what to do either... After all, the Demon King’s territory and the empire were different.

"I need pasture seeds, do you have any or not?"

Yila had no intention of chatting with these people. He spoke very simply... In response, the lead rchant also suppressed his excitent and waved his hand to signal the other rchants to continue trading.

"We naturally have alfalfa and chicory."

This male rchant said, smiling as he talked to Yila. He personally returned to the carriage, lifting down two huge sacks, one in each hand. It was hard to imagine his slender body could lift such heavy sacks.

However, this was a feature of the "rchant" profession. Although not specialized in fighting, it was not possible for non-professionals like mountain bandits to defeat them either.

Therefore, in many cases, those who couldn’t survive in this world wouldn’t even have the ability for the last desperate struggle—an emperor’s anger could knock soone out with one punch; a commoner’s anger would leave them half-dead from the beating.

Should this be called interesting, or should it be called sad?

"Is one bag of each enough? Or say..."

Before the rchant finished speaking, Yila straightforwardly nodded and said, "One bag of each is enough. How much? Sell it at the normal market price?"

Although he said this, Yila himself actually didn’t know the market price of these seeds, nor was he very concerned about the exact price. He just didn’t want to be ripped off.

"I’ll give them to you as a gift, they don’t cost much."

This rchant said, smiling as he placed the seeds at Yila’s feet. He continued, "By the way, before the caravan set off, Lord Gurela said she wanted to join us, but she never showed up at the agreed ti."

It’s worth noting that Yila was very annoyed by phrases like "I must pay," "no need to pay," and "I insist on paying." So he just nodded to accept it.

As for Gurela...

*Yila could still hear the chattering voices by his ear, like "Dearest Yila! Check out the miracle dicine I made!" Of course... followed by curious Yose.*

*The familiar voice even echoed in his mind, "Oh oh oh! This is a super potent aphrodisiac! Lord Yila, run! Gurela, you scoundrel, again with your designs on Lord Yila... slurp (sips loudly)~ I’m confiscating all of it!"*

*Those two jokers... No, to be accurate, there were very few people Yila could truly call friends in the empire who were not jokers. Even Yila himself seed quite serious.*

*However, Yose himself remained unexpectedly pure. After the death of his wife, Igrain, he never sought out another woman. He also kicked the bucket not long after Igrain passed.*

*If Yose could have held on for ten more years, the aristocratic problem might have been solved... What a pity.*

*But for the Demon King’s territory, it was indeed "fortunate."*

...

"Did Gurela leave any ssage for with you?"

Yila asked then imdiately realized that guy wouldn’t think to do so. He continued, "So, when you go back, please pass a ssage to Gurela for —"

rchant: "Yes, sir."

...

"Tell her to stay in the empire obediently... If she cos to the Demon King’s territory, I’ll beat her to a pulp."
