Chapter 392 Traveling Merchant
The 649th year of the Demon King Calendar.

February 21st, morning.

Open city.

Although Viola took over this place without losing a single soldier, many buildings were damaged due to the fire in the city and the white dragon causing trouble in the city.

But now it has basically been repaired, and Kaimen City has regained its former tranquility and prosperity, with a constant stream of merchants coming and going.

As for war, it's not like we haven't seen it before. As long as it's not a siege, it's impossible to stop the caravan from moving forward.

However, many nobles and officials in Kaimen City had their property confiscated by Viola for treason, and they were suddenly short of manpower.

Until all government departments resume normal functions, they can only operate at overload temporarily.

Of course, Viola couldn't just sit there and do nothing. The affairs of the Leon territory had just been handed over to Grand Duke Weiss, and she hadn't had much free time before Viola had to start busying herself with the government affairs of Kaimen City again.

As usual, Viola was looking at documents in the office, but the difference was that there was an uninvited guy chattering beside her.

"The Kaimen City's defensive barrier has been repaired. I personally supervised the repairs, and it is stronger than before."

"Ah."

"The gangs in the sewers have also been cleared out. The wealth that has been counted so far has reached 50,000, and there is still a lot of hidden wealth waiting to be unearthed."

"Ah."

"The construction of your Majesty's temple is going very smoothly. I have specially designed a set of pulleys, but it is not easy to find high-quality stone. I am currently looking for a stone supplier."

"Ah."

Viola put down her pen and looked helplessly at Oldie who rushed into the office early in the morning:

"My dear cousin, you came all the way here, not just to report these things to me, right?"

"I just wanted to let you know that I haven't been lazy during this time."

Viola didn't believe it, she knew Oldie too well.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Um... this is what happened. I checked the records and found that one of the seven apostles in the mythological era..."

"It goes without saying."

Viola picked up her pen again:

"You want to look for the Demon King's Ring again, right? I'm telling you, no."

"Eh……"

"No prolonged sounds!"

Orde is very interested in the relationship between the Demon King's Ring and the Demon King God, as well as what happened in the mythological era. Even if she is busy, she will take time to look for clues.

But if Olday wanted to verify it on the spot, she couldn't go there herself, as it would be too risky.

Because of what happened last time, Olde may have been targeted, and she cannot return to the Academic City to recruit guards for the time being. In other words, if she really wants to find the Demon King's Ring, she can only find people from Viola's men.

This means that unless Viola nods, Oldie will never be able to find anyone.

"The Lord has specifically instructed me not to look for the Demon King's Ring again, at least not for the time being."

"But I'm sure this time."

"That's not OK!"

"At least check the correctness and dig it up later..."

"No means no. I'm sure you'll change the plan when you get there even though you say you'll check it."

Olday has absolutely no credibility whatsoever in this regard.

Just when Oldie was about to try to persuade her again, Zora suddenly knocked on the door.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness. There's a merchant outside who wants to see you. We thought she was acting suspiciously, so we detained her in advance."

"merchant?"

Viola thought about it and realized that she hadn't arranged any meetings with any businessmen recently.

"You don't know? All right, we'll get rid of her right away."

"Wait." Aldea suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Is her name Theresa, and she says she'll sell anything for money?"

"Um, yes, you know her?"

"Yes, she might be here to see me, bring her over."

Zora looked at Viola, and when she nodded, she turned around and led the way.

Viola seemed to be somewhat interested in this merchant who would sell anything for money.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Soon, the businesswoman named Theresa was brought into the office, followed by Shelley and Zora, probably because they were afraid that she would suddenly hurt someone.

Theresa was carrying a large backpack, a thick travel outfit and a large cape, which made a jingling sound when she walked. No one knew what was stuffed in her bag.

What is more conspicuous than the backpack is her head.

Theresa has a human body, but a red-furred fox head.

She is a fox, a very intelligent race.

Most fox people wander around and spend most of their lives on the road. Many of them become businessmen who travel far and wide, and are famous in the multiverse for their unique shrewdness and ability.

Among the fox people, there are many mages and warlocks. It is rumored that they are a race favored by magic. Even pure merchants encountered on the road may know one or two small spells.

"My dear, Your Highness Viola, the traveling merchant Theresa sends you greetings."

Her voice sounded young but glib.

"Your knights are alert, which is a good thing, but I wish they were a little friendlier. My wrist is about to break."

"I believe my knight was only doing his job."

"Of course, I believe that, Your Highness."

As she spoke, she looked at Alday again.

"Miss Olday, you are so hard to find."

"Stop complaining. I won't give you less money. Did you find what I want?"

“It took a little bit of work and a little bit of favor, but I finally found it.”

Theresa untied her backpack and pulled out a book that was obviously a handwritten copy.

"The oldest collection of apostolic poetry you asked me to find is right here, but..."

She rubbed her fingers:

"You know, this is not easy, so I ask for three thousand gold coins."

"Bought it!"

Orday did not hesitate at all. As long as this collection of poems was authentic, Orday could more accurately locate the route of the seven apostles' actions back then, and also more accurately locate the location of the Demon King's Ring.

"Thank you for your patronage. It's worth my trip."

Theresa's face was filled with a smile from the heart. Of course, who wouldn't be happy to make money?

Three thousand gold coins is an unaffordable price for most people, but for Orday, this price is very suitable and may even be considered cheap.

At this time Viola asked:
"I heard that you would sell anything if the price was right, right?"

"Yes, you can always trust the credit of the traveling merchant Theresa."

"Then you should also know the situation I'm facing now. I want the deployment of the four-nation coalition's troops. Can I get it?"

"What a coincidence. I was waiting for you to say that."

Trosha took out another folded map from his bag:

"Compared to the collection of poems Miss Alday requested, your request is relatively easy, but given its importance, I ask for one thousand gold coins, and I will also accept payment of the same amount in gems."

The so-called troop deployment refers to the deployment of the four-nation coalition forces in the Demon Kingdom of Avarus, including information such as where they are attacking and how many troops they have.

It is not difficult to find out this information, but the difficulty lies in the accuracy and integrating all the information.

If Trosa wasn't lying, this wasn't something a traveling merchant could get his hands on...
