Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 54 The Surrendered Adventurer

"Is this the city of Degen? It turns out that the city's defense still depends on humans." Nemesis exclaimed as he looked at the magnificent city wall in front of him.

The walls were built with huge, neatly-arranged stones, and the well-designed layout ensured that there was enough space between each battlement to accommodate the garrison in wartime.

The city gate is made of solid steel, not plastic that can be broken by a siege cone.

In comparison, the Kula Grommash built by the gray dwarves and orcs is much inferior.

Although Kula Gromsh is much larger than Degen City, it looks very rough, primitive and poor.

It was noon and there were many people who wanted to enter the city. They lined up outside the city gate and looked at Nemesis and his group with strange eyes.

Maro had some cold sweat on his forehead, and he looked at the ten mysterious men covered in armor beside him with some worry.

He knew what was beneath that armor,
The drow, a notorious evil race in the continent of Faerun, are the followers of this dragon.

Colette smiled and introduced: "Master, Mr. Nemesis, although Degen City is not close to the Falling Star Sea, its economic strength can be ranked among the top ten in the kingdom. When my ancestors developed this city, they paid the most attention to the city defense."

She sighed, "In that era, in order to prevent attacks from wild monsters, the Rosa family exhausted all its financial resources to build this city, and led the original residents to fight here for hundreds of years."

Marro became even more frightened when he saw the calm demeanor of the blonde girl. Although he had sworn allegiance to the dragon, the terrifying and strange power was truly frightening.

Nemesis looked at Colette and nodded with satisfaction.

After he used his telekinesis to control Colette, unlike the other jackals and Shadow Sword, he gave her complete self-awareness and initiative.

Only basic loyalty remains.

After all, unlike those thugs, what Collette will face in the future is a treacherous human society, which is controlled like a monster army. She is like a robot and is really difficult to deal with.

As for the remaining three people, he was too lazy to even waste his mental power to control them. It was enough for him to order them to swear an oath to God and submit to him forever.

If modifying the memory wasn't too troublesome, he would even want to simply delete Colette's existence from the three people's memories.

He has rarely used the Mind Stone's memory-modifying function because it is too troublesome.

Every intelligent creature has a vast amount of memory fragments. Even if they have forgotten, those complex memory fragments still exist in their subconscious.

To modify memory, one must sort out a huge amount of memory fragments, verify them one by one, and then insert one's own personal thoughts into them.

The process is torturous and long.

Of course, Nemesis could also choose to violently insert his own memory without verifying it, but this would cause the person whose memory was modified to easily realize the inconsistency of the memory.

"Miss Colette, you're back!" The soldier guarding the city was a strong young soldier. He looked at the girl warmly and welcomed her.

Oliver gloated, "Doug is such a pitiful guy. He chases after every beautiful girl he sees. I bet he won't charge Colette an entrance fee."

Sure enough, the next moment, without saying a word, Colette coldly handed over the Sadir (the name of the copper coin of the Inbutu Kingdom) in her hand, but the other party did not take it.

He scratched his head and blushed and said, "No need for the city gate fee today."

Brittany rushed over impatiently, pushed Colette into the city gate, and slapped the guard's shoulder heavily with one hand.

"Come on, Doug, don't waste my time here! You have to act out this drama every time you come back. I am tired of watching it even if you are not tired."

Doug first looked at Colette lovingly, then glared at Brittany and held out his hand, saying, "City gate fee, 10 Sadil."

Brittany rolled her eyes and shoved Sadier hard into Doug's hands.

Oliver and Marlowe followed closely behind.

But something went wrong when it came to Nemesis' turn.

Doug frowned as he looked at the young man in the luxurious wizard robes and the ten guards in exquisite armor behind him, and stopped them. "Stop." Doug shouted.

The young man looked at him expressionlessly and stared at him deeply.

Doug was stunned for a moment. He swore that for a moment, he saw the boy's yellow pupils turn into vertical pupils like snakes.

"Ahem." The guard coughed, trying to hide his embarrassment of being scared by a child, and ordered in a commanding tone: "Tell your guard to take off his helmet."

The boy tilted his head and asked curiously in a childish voice: "Why? Can I not pick it?"

The guard sneered and said, "Everyone who comes here must pick it. Anyone who enters Degen City must prove that they are not an evil race!"

"Hey, wait," Marro saw Doug's actions and hurriedly tried to stop him. He knew how bad the dragon's temper was, and he didn't want anyone to die as soon as he entered the city.

Sure enough, the next moment.

After hearing the guard's words, the boy did not reply. He just raised the thick book in his hand and started flipping through it while muttering.

Doug was a little puzzled and didn't know what this child who looked like a noble was going to do.

"You're probably going to scold me, humph, little brat. Once you say it, I'll let you know that in Degen City, foreign nobles have no place to show off their power!"

Then, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Colette rushed to the boy's side and held his fingers as he was flipping through the pages of the book.

Shaking her head at the other party implicitly, Colette felt a little tired. She knew that if she didn't show up, her master would probably start a killing spree the next moment.

Fire? Lightning? Or that damned gelatinous thing? Who knows, something terrible will emerge from that finger to devour mortals.

Collette smiled and said to Doug, "Doug, this is my employer, a noble from the royal city. Can you please make some concessions?"

The guard was stunned when he saw the blonde girl's smile. This was the first time he saw her smiling at him.

"Ah, what a beautiful day! Thank you for the blessing of the great Shantia."

Doug nodded quickly to indicate that there was no problem, and with a wave of his hand he opened the city gate to welcome the ten drow in.

Maro breathed a sigh of relief, finally the worst did not happen.

Nemesis walked on the street, looking at the passers-by with interest.

weak.

It is his greatest feeling.

Most of the citizens hurrying around Degen City are workers wearing ragged cloth, or middle-class people wearing exquisite uniforms and carrying briefcases.

They are all ordinary people with no professional rank.

Occasionally there are adventurers carrying weapons, but most of them are low-level professionals from level one to three.

Compared to the monster cities in the Underdark where every citizen is a soldier, there are too many ordinary people in Degen City who have no fighting ability.

But Nemesis did not underestimate them.

Human reproduction is very strong, and the population density in Degen City is at least dozens of times higher than that in Kurogromsh.

With such a high population base, there must be powerful professionals.

For example, Colette beside him is a seventh-level swordsman.
