《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey
Advertisement
After buying some standard clothes in the Glerian Kingdom, Azaroth and his retainers began to walk around in the city.
They were observing the city while splitting up and talking to some people.
Azaroth knew that he couldn't count on the information he had from the Sinyalian Kingdom. Each of them talked to the people around and extracted information in their own way.
During the evening time, they all gathered in a pub. They were now sharing their information with each other.
Noah spoke first, "I met a few people and they said that we are in a city named Warrington. I ask them how can I join the army and they told me that I need to pass the test held by a general. However, there are rumors that the king wants to create a new generation of generals and thus, there will be a tournament named 'The Heavenly Dragon Battlefield Tournament' where all the talented warriors under the age of 20 will fight. The one who will win will be given precious herbs and allowed to cultivate in the outer area of the Royal Palace. He will even be assigned the rank of a captain."
Sargan spoke, "This Kingdom seems to be completely under the control of the King. There are Noble Families here but it seems that the overseers assigned by the King hold more power than the Noble Houses. However, this Kingdom's affluence is much inferior to the Sinyalian Kingdom. Unlike the Sinyalian Kingdom that has many public and private associations, such isn't the case in the Glerian Kingdom as all of them are under the king."
"However, unlike the Sinyalian Kingdom that places equal focus on Diplomacy, Music, Arrays, Martial Academies, Smithy, and Alchemy. This Kingdom focuses on the Sects, Beast Hunting and Alchemy."
Yrellea continued ahead of Sargan, "All these societies are directly under the King. Among the Sects, the most reputed is the Red Crown Sect. The other sects are Origin Sect, Black Lake Sect, Night Mountain Sect, and so on."

"As for the Beast Hunting, there is only a single association that has its branches spread all over the Glerian Kingdom. It's named Dragon Tiger Palace. And its members are known as Beast Slayer Corps."
"Just like the Beast Hunting Association, there is a single Alchemy association known as the Alchemy Union." Yrellea finished soon enough.
It was Tiana who spoke up next, "I gathered that there are not many issues in buying the property within the Glerian Kingdom. There is rarely any inspection as long as you have money."
Ralph added, "The Beast Hunting Association has one of their branches in this city. It's said that they form parties with other warriors and go into the forests to hunt the beasts. The warrior has to pay nearly 100 Spirit Coins to register and will receive a Silver Badge. As the warrior hunts more beasts, their rank will be upgraded. The Purple Badge Holders are the leaders of this organization. They are the ones in contact with the King."
The only one among Azaroth's retainers who remained silent was Laura. She hadn't gathered a lot of useful information. Most of what she had gathered had already been mentioned by others.
Azaroth didn't blame her though. She clearly wasn't talented in this field and he wasn't going to force her to do it.
He cleared his throat and began speaking. It was his turn to share the information, "From what I found out, other than the Sinyalian Kingdom, the Glerian Kingdom also has bad relations with the Lamhilion Theocracy. However, they are trying to mend their relationship in the past few months. There is also a rumor that the mines in the Glerian Kingdom had already been exhausted of their ores. According to the estimates of the experts, it would take a decade for these ores to form naturally. This is one of the reasons why the Glerian Kingdom's attacks on the Sinyalian Kingdom had decreased."

Yrellea curiously asked Azaroth, "How did you find this information, Master? I don't think an average citizen would know of it. And there is an even lesser chance he would tell it to a stranger."
Azaroth smiled in return but didn't answer her.
In reality, Azaroth sensed the aura of a 3 Star Warrior who was keeping an eye on them since they had left the clothing store.
Azaroth captured him and forcefully extracted everything he knew and killed him. He knew that this man's death was going to be investigated. But it would just be a formal investigation. In truth, the guards here wouldn't care a lot as long as this man didn't have a special identity. They would soon list it in their file and forget about it. Sooner or later, this warrior would be replaced.
If this guy had a special identity, his background would investigate the scene, so there was no need for the guards to trouble themselves too much.
And it seemed that this warrior Azaroth had killed and extracted information from was completely ordinary. So a special investigation shouldn't follow up after this.
Azaroth soon began speaking seriously, "Sargan, you will split up from me. You are going to roam the entire Glerian Kingdom and plant your men in as many locations as possible. Plant them among the merchants, generals, soldiers, sects, in the kingdom's administrative people and if possible then within some Noble Houses as well."
He then turned towards Yrellea, "You have mastered the third level of the Heavenly Poison Scripture, Yrellea, and you can defend yourself against fighters of your caliber. I'll provide you with sufficient resources. You must use them to construct a huge structure and make it a base for the Misty Flower Pavilion. Hire a couple of courtesans and teach them certain massage and cultivating methods, as well as the Hazy Awareness Technique. People's minds will be relaxed as a result of this method, and you will be able to acquire information more effectively. Furthermore, people who are subjected to this method without prior preparation will forget everything."
Yrellea's eyes widened slightly as she heard Azaroth. She muttered underneath her breath, "Will I need to actively seduce people to gather information from them?" She clearly didn't look happy at the thought.
Azaroth suddenly placed his hand on her chin and raised her face. He looked into her eyes and spoke, "I told you to teach them, not join them. You will be the leader of the Misty Flower Pavilion. You need to maintain a certain amount of prestige around you, meaning, you cannot personally involve yourself in these practices. If anything occurs then inform me immediately. I will deal with the issue."
Azaroth's words greatly relieved Yrellea. She then spoke with a determined expression, "I won't disappoint you, master."
"I know," Azaroth spoke before he recalled his hand back.
He then spoke ahead with a calm expression, "As for the rest, they will join me as I would need to supervise them for some time."
Laura's eyes twinkled with excitement as she heard that she would be together with Azaroth. Tiana showed a faint smile as well.
Yrellea glanced at Laura with a slightly envious look. She was jealous of her friend but she didn't plan to complain to Azaroth.
She knew he had assigned her an important task. She had to stand up to his expectations.
Sargan was thinking deeply about something. He asked Azaroth soon enough, "What is the name of this organization we are creating?"
"Our organization will be known as 'The League of Hell'."
Thus… Today was the day the League of Hell was officially created!
