Chapter 551: Chapter 316 The Pope Wants to Buy Grain from Us?_1
After interrogating those surrendered demons, everyone had a deeper understanding of the current dimensional situation.
“Ah, we made a mistake. We fell into our own preconceptions, thinking that each dimension was still the same as before, full of powerful beings. But now, none of the major dimensions have a Lord-level being. What’s left are these weaklings, even a Great Demon dares to invade our dimension.” Negris said.
Different systems have different rankings. Most of the Abyss Dimension is inhabited by demons, so their Demon Lord is equivalent to their God.
At the level of Gods, the power varies greatly. Some weak God can’t even defeat a Great Demon, while some strong God can create new worlds.
And those missing Monarchs: “They were all taken out by a Purple Gold Skeleton.”
“Locke?!” Everyone thought of that name.
“No, it doesn’t necessarily have to be Locke. Have you all forgotten about the other Purple Gold Skeleton that was with the King?” Negris asked.
Lamo reluctantly replied: “But the King didn’t have a second Purple Gold Skeleton, in the ancient empire, only Lord Locke was the Lord of Mourning, although His Majesty did have a pet, but it wasn’t a skeleton.”
“But the Little Demon insists that there is a second one, because it recognizes Locke, that Purple Gold Skeleton isn’t Locke, you don’t believe it, ask it.”
The Lord of Terror, known as the Little Demon, had its monument brought over and planted into the ground.
The Little Demon described the situation earnestly and repeatedly assured that the Purple Gold Skeleton was not Locke. Combined with the accounts of the captive demons, it was confirmed that the skeleton was indeed not Locke.
“So, does it mean that His Majesty has two Lords of Mourning under his command, who both turned against the Abyss and killed all the Demon Lords?” Lord Anthony summarized.
“What if,” Negris speculated, “His Majesty deployed both Lords of Mourning? Locke went to kill the Gods and the Great Angels, and the other went to kill the Lords of the Abyss? Otherwise, where did the Harvest Goddess go?”
Hiss… This guess was somewhat shocking. Why would the Undead King want to kill all the Gods and Monarchs?
Of course, these were just speculations, no one knew if it was true. But the current situation was that the Abyss lacked Monarchs, a Great Demon dared to dominate, and the Church of Light’s intelligence system was failing and such important information wasn’t discovered.”
“It’s not necessarily that they didn’t find out, maybe they did but deliberately hid it, perhaps monopolizing it for themselves.” Lisa speculated.
“That’s right.” Anthony said with regret: “That’s exactly what I wanted to do. If I had known this, I would have sent my people to the Abyss Dimension.”
After regretting for a while, Anthony turned to Ange and asked: “Lord, can we leave the World Transit Station open now?”
Anthony had long expected Ange to refuse. The World Transit Station couldn’t be used to grow crops, keeping it open was a waste of Demon Crystals.”
“Then can I occasionally borrow it? When I need to transport large amounts of resources.” Anthony asked.
Ange nodded: “Yes, everyone can, if they pay in silver coins.”
“Great!” Lisa was the first to jump up: “I want to move Goddess of Beauty City back, or rather, rebuild one.”
“Oh my! Now we can connect all our territories into one entity.”
Current territories controlled by Ange were scattered, with only Oasis Dark Side City and Goddess of Beauty City connected to each other. Communication and exchange between other places across dimensions was too inconvenient.
If everyone could use the World Transit Station, it would be as if they had a cheap mode of transport. Anywhere could be connected, food from the Light Sea Plane and Fallen Dragon Lake could supply everywhere, the Resting Abyss wouldn’t need to spend as much cost on growing food, it would be easier and more efficient.
The cost of growing food on the Light Sea Plane under the management of followers of the Harvest Goddess, was extremely low. If the cost there was ‘one’, then the cost in the Resting Abyss would be ‘twenty’. The difference was huge. Even if it cost some demon crystals to transport, it was more cost-effective than growing in the Resting Abyss.
The environment, terrain, mineral deposits, climate in each territory were all different. The best approach was to complement each other’s advantages, rather than growing food everywhere.
The Goblins have a saying: if you want to earn Gold Coins, first build a Gold Road, and the World Transit Station, is a dazzling Gold Road.
When everyone learned of this news, especially the Silver Coin in the Land of Fallen, he immediately contacted Anthony through Ange:
“Lord Anthony, what should we do now? Have you solved your food problem?”
“No, those demons don’t really have much food at all, their early trades were nothing more than scams.”
“I see, Lord Anthony. I was so worried when I heard you were short of food, I couldn’t sleep all night, racked my brains, even got blisters on my mouth from anxiety.” Silver Coin was not as succinct when speaking with Anthony as he was with Ange, he babble on and on without getting to the point.
Anthony squinted his eyes: I don’t believe you at all.
“So, I counted this year’s food production that very night, then calculated next season’s consumption, and found that we have a surplus of 150,000 tons of grains…”
Before Silver Coin could finish speaking, Anthony subconsciously lunged forward: “Sell it to me.”
