This Necromancer Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1878 - 522 Nine Prisons Document
...
Blood Sand City.
After paying a hefty entry fee,
Matthew and his two companions rushed through the narrow gate archway under the impatient urging of the city guards.
After leaving the gate archway,
bright light instantly replaced the silent shadows.
What unfolded before Matthew was a portrayal of a bustling yet orderly city—
A group of red-skinned, green-haired tiefling merchants was escorting a massive ox cart down the center of the main road.
The demonic creature tied up on the ox cart, with its ferocious visage, drew a large crowd of onlookers.
Shops of various colors and shapes lined both sides of the street.
All of the shop signs and flags, without exception, only occupied a small part of the space in front of their doors, appearing extremely restrained.
Two Cavalry Demons hurried past, stirring up clouds of dust with their four legs as they trod on the hardened mud planks, one of which was crushed into several pieces.
A high-level demon with an exaggeratedly swollen upper body immediately stepped forward.
He wore a slightly more upscale uniform than that of the city guards and, upon meeting them, scolded the two Cavalry Demons in Purgatory Language heavily accented, ruthlessly demanding they pay the costs incurred from the public property damage.
While the Cavalry Demons and the city guard were locked in a heated argument,
a cunning little demon flew past the Cavalry Demons’ behinds, stealing a few gold coins from their backpack while sneakily dropping a stone in.
Further down the street,

a lust demon woman, draped in a gossamer veil, was beckoning to passersby from a balcony on the second floor.
Her methods of seduction were not just verbal.
With a simple cantrip,
the goat horn in her hand turned into a strapping man who let out a wild cry and immediately engaged in a tangled struggle with the lust demon.
Indecent moans and breaths spread instantaneously.
Such a scene left foreigners just entering the city dumbfounded,
but most of the residents were used to it.
A well-dressed demon gentleman even politely approached the city guard and suggested,
"Troubling these two poor young souls won’t make you any richer, sir.
They obviously can’t afford the costly fines you’re imposing.
But that lady across the street, as far as I know, she’s amassed quite a sum. If I’m not mistaken, her current activities have already violated Blood Sand City’s civic order regulations."
"I suggest you go find her…"
The voice of the demon gentleman was soon drowned out by another abrupt and angry roar.
From the alleyway nearby,
a bloodied human slave was kicked into the center of the road, even startling the tiefling caravan.
A few seconds later,
a high-level Devil wielding a long whip emerged from the alley elegantly, shouting as he walked:
"This is the fate of those who steal from their master!"
The human slave, who was on his last breath, still tried to utter faint words:
"I didn’t, I didn’t steal."
"It was… a gift from the lady..."
Upon hearing this,
a shadow flashed in the eyes of the high-level Devil.
Without another word, he repeatedly lashed the slave with his whip, and within a few breaths, the man was devoid of life!
After doing all this,
the high-level Devil couldn’t help but cast his gaze back toward the depths of the alleyway.
There,
a door was quietly closed.
A hint of smug satisfaction appeared on the Devil’s face, but it quickly reverted to loneliness.
Thud thud thud!
Another caravan entered the city.
The body of the human slave was carted away, and the whip-wielding Devil vanished into the crowd.
The main thoroughfare became even more crowded.
Matthew walked along the edge of the main road, taking in all the scenes that unfolded on the streets.
Lorraine fully displayed the Bard’s abilities, filling in all the Alley Gossip:
"Those two Cavalry Demons willingly enlisted to fight against the demons of Blood Sand City to the south.
Though devils, they at least have some courage.
Unfortunately, most of their money was spent paying taxes to enter the city.
Facing exorbitant fines, they have no choice but to flee or resort to menial labor…"
"The demon gentleman who reported to the city guard is the proprietor of another demon brothel. That lust demon lady used to work under him, and now that she’s gone solo, he’s held a grudge and periodically causes trouble for her."
"As for that poor human slave, well, he was nothing more than a mere plaything between that high-level Devil and his wife."
"At a glance, that high-level Devil is a figure of importance, but it’s a pity the wretch is impotent in bed, and his wife’s family is among the most distinguished in Blood Sand City.
To curry favor with his wife and her family,
he voluntarily sought out men from other races to serve as her personal male slaves, thereby fulfilling her desires."
"But over time, he has inevitably grown jealous, so the moment his wife tires of these male slaves, he immediately finds an excuse to whip them to death.
His wife, of course, understands this, and is happy to switch to a fresh flavor, thus she turns a blind eye.
Poor slaves, they might still believe to their deaths that the Devil’s wife loved them sincerely..."
Hearing this,
Matthew sighed softly.
Walking through Blood Sand City,
what surprised him most was the sheer number of other races present!
