In the shallow area of ​​​​the shadow world, everything here still maintains its form and has not completely turned into shadow. Lu En and the elder sat facing each other, staring at each other with big eyes.

Lu En was holding a piece of paper with suggestions and options for developing a trade route written on it.

All the choices were laid out. The elder had already taken care of everything. It was just up to Lu En to choose.

The high-level vampire carefully tasted his wine and said to Lu En: "I have seen what you have done recently. You have chosen an unbelievable path. By unbelievable, I mean the degree of difficulty."

Lu En smiled and replied: "It's just difficult. In fact, it's not difficult. Moreover, I never consider whether it is difficult or hard when I do this. No matter how hard it is, can it be harder than 'them'? At least I don't have to dig out the shit, right?"

As long as we have a goal, even if the end of this road is the end of the world, if we have to walk ten thousand miles, we will walk ten thousand miles, if we have to walk twenty thousand miles, we will walk twenty thousand miles."

"It's admirable. I believe you will leave a profound mark on the concept of this world. This will be of great benefit to us. If there is no danger of survival, I will be happy to provide you with the necessary help." Chang.

The person sipped the wine in small sips, with approval in his eyes.

"This trade route is very useful... You have a deeper understanding than I thought." Lu En looked at the elder, with a little fear in his eyes.

Everyone thought that he wanted to build everything in Anluo and make a comeback, but all this was just an illusion to deceive the empire, and he had never prepared for this.

However, the trade route the elder handed him was completely different from the others. This trade route mainly connected the Orang and Orondo mines. The price was low and the quality was not bad. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem. The Chamber of Commerce on the road

, the bandits, city defense officers, and tax officials have all been taken care of. All we need to do is prepare the goods, and we can go all the way to Oran.

The problem is that this trade route went in a circle, first going to Star Maple King City, then to Larante, then to Oran, then around to Mokasa, and finally returned the same way.

The workshops Lu En has developed so far are basically within this line. If the elders are willing, they can destroy them all in one day.

"Don't worry, since I can give it to you directly, I don't have such thoughts. This thing can connect all your workshops, so that they will not have difficulty in communicating and can only develop alone. Once the business road is opened, the property they own will

It can also spread to Ontario. This bond is the sincerity of our communication." The elder said.

While saying this, a picture appeared in the elder's mind.

He personally walked through those places and asked an old man about his life in the workshop. The old man was the only one who did not have to work because he was too weak to work and had only one hand. But because of his age, he

He is still very prestigious in the workshop, and the young craftsmen all received his help when they were young.

The elder walked up to the old man, chatted with him, and listened to him talk about the comparison between the past and present life. After chatting for a long time, the elder asked again, what did the old man think was the biggest change? Why did he think the workshop was good?

The old man was so pleased with himself that he wrote on the ground with his fingers wet with saliva: "I already know more than 200 characters. They are knowledgeable people who teach me to recognize four every day. I lived there for sixty-four years, but no one taught me."

I write my own names, do you think they are good or bad?"

He pointed proudly at the crooked handwriting he wrote, which looked like footprints left on the ground with chicken claws. But he was very proud, and every now and then he hoped that the elders would praise him.

So the elder praised him and even gave him some wine that he was reluctant to part with as a celebration.

This scene had a great impact on the elder, prompting him to decide to take out this trade route.

Of course Lu En knew the value of this trade route, and he would never be able to create such a perfect connection from the empire on his own.

"That's why I came to you. By the way, when I went out, I learned something. Ayukeng is expected to come 'soon'. You kidnapped his daughter. I guess he won't be too happy.

Pay attention, I took that light spirit away, you don’t have to look for it." After the elder said that, he escaped deeper into the shadow world.

"Ayuken..." Lu En pondered, and then returned to the real world. He was not worried about Urahil. If the elder had malicious intentions, no one could stop him. As for Gu Long's 'Soon...'

For the time being, I will understand it as within one year.

After returning to reality, Lu En summoned the dragon maid: "Kara, prepare some luxury goods for me, use original ones, reduce the cost, and dress them up more gorgeously. We have to deal with those nobles."

"Luxury goods? I understand." Kara nodded and thought for a moment: "I have one on me now, it belongs to Elaine." She said, handing over a large cloak.

"I will prepare the rest." She bowed slightly and disappeared.

Lu En took the cloak, tilted his face, and rubbed it with the warm and soft black fur on the collar. He felt very good. It was indeed an otter skin produced in Lockgenia worth seven hundred gold coins. The king of monsters also has nobles. 1

can be distinguished.

It's really disgusting to socialize with nobles, but for the sake of business, there is no other good way.

In dirty aristocratic communication, each has its own purpose and must achieve it at all means.

However, nobles only speak in whispers, small hints... and subtle lies.

Provide testimony and prepare slander. The only time they can tell the truth is when a few people are secretly hiding in a secret room, just like rats.

But even so, all they did was negotiate...

Then weave a true lie beneath the surface.

Keep all the details blurry and keep your secrets to yourself.

Moreover, there will be prying eyes and eavesdropping maids from outside.

Thinking about the conspiracy behind it and the evil intentions that may be faced next.

Lu En covered his forehead, struggling with all kinds of thoughts and speculations in his mind, which gave him a headache.

Finally, he simply gave up.

Never mind, we'll talk about it then.

————————————

True dragons have always had their own way of doing things. Most true dragons are born with difficulty empathizing with other races. Even true dragons, such as golden dragons and silver dragons, which are friendly to other life forms, are generally good at treating others with their own conduct.

If I want to give an example of specific performance, it would be——

There was once a golden dragon who felt that he was very happy talking with a human, so he stayed as a guest. Then he closed the door of his dragon's lair and continued to talk to the human about his views on art.

Halfway through, he got a little tired, so he told the human being that he was going to eat something, take a rest, and come back later.

Humanity agreed.

So Jinlong went to hunt a giant cow, and after eating it, he took a nap.

By the time he woke up and was ready to continue talking, humans were already starving to death.

He spent a week hunting and five months sleeping.

This is a common mentality of treating others with oneself as a giant dragon. The likes and sorrows of human beings are not the same, and humans and dragons cannot understand each other.

As in a story, a farmer killed a noble lady's little daughter, and the mother cried miserably.

The farmer was surprised and said, why are you crying? We have lost so many children and we have never cried at all.

The peasants could not understand why the ladies were crying, and the ladies could not understand why they were so indifferent.

They are like the scavengers who go to the cliffs on the top of the mountain to collect herbs without protective gear, and the noble knights who, in order to challenge themselves, go to the mountains and forests alone to find monsters to prove their courage.

Some people risk their lives to make money, while others risk their lives to spend money.

They can't understand each other.

Just like now, Elaine is trying to understand why the Demon King does this, but she can only come to one conclusion: "The Demon King does it for fun."

From her perspective, there should be no other answer than having fun doing these things.

Therefore, Elaine has been very happy recently. Since it is for fun, she should enjoy herself to the fullest. At least she must have a good time before her father arrives. Having said that, she can actually be regarded as a nun, and she is extremely naive.

The kind of nun who firmly believes in God's teachings and is so naive that she can even say things like "There are no real bad people in this world."

The main reason why she came here was because she was tired of singing hymns, and now that she was in a new place, she didn't have to sing religious songs every day, which made her very comfortable.

She loves to sing, otherwise she wouldn't have Temperament 5. As a level 8 ancient dragon, perhaps it is because of this that she can always maintain a young and lively attitude.

Music gushes out from the mouth of a fountain like spring water, spreading into the blue sky and white clouds.

There is a sacred feeling like the whispers of ancient elves.

The sky is blue, the flower fields are dense, the paths stretch out, the soil is fragrant, the breeze blows, and the flowers sway gently. It makes people take a deep breath, and the clean air fills the heart... The heart seems to be purified in an instant, and the earth seems to feel it too

Feeling a little bit relieved.

Squinting at the joy, the smoke in the sky seems to be rolled up by a whirlpool, and the golden dragon is like a tiny dot in the darkness. It is as if someone is speaking softly in the ear: "I hope these warm lights can bring you some comfort."

membership."

The notes scattered in the wind fell with the light dust.

Then, the sound suddenly stopped, everything disappeared, and the surroundings turned into desolate land, dry wind, and blowing sand.

"Has everyone learned it?" Elaine tilted her head and asked.

"Teacher, you...we really can't learn this." The students looked at Elaine with frustration on their faces.

They all came from the Imperial Capital and are almost used to the life here. To be honest, the life here is a little more monotonous than the Imperial Capital, but the students think it's pretty good.

Because there are no domineering humans here, no masters to serve, and I have not fallen behind in my studies. There are even more powerful teachers, such as the Elaine in front of me.

The dragon's long lifespan allows even a lazy Elaine to spend time honing a bunch of skills. Although the highest level is only level 8, there are quite a lot of them. What do you want to do to fall asleep quickly 2, appreciate art 1, appraise 1

, Dark Cooking 1, Disguise 1, Pretending to Be Foolish 1, Sense of Balance 1 and so on.

This made her class very interesting. With her and the dean there, the students didn't think there was anything wrong. She was teaching some monster girls who were beautiful to humans.

The reason why she did this was because she wanted to have some fun, and Lu En also encouraged her to do this.

"Then you guys should work hard~ After you become good at singing, you will become very lovable, just like me!" Elaine slumped on the recliner with a lot of food next to her.

Lu En wants a singing group that can spread ideas.

Elaine liked the idea.
