CHAPTER 563: CHAPTER 293: DEMON ENVOY BOUNTY ORDER (PART 2)

Next is the West Well Clan of the Golden Family.

No matter what, taking someone else’s third son’s eggs was still wrong. Although she didn’t know if they had rotted yet, Shami still decided to find time to return the eggs as a gesture that the demon clan bore no malice.

And then there were the villagers and cities constantly harassed by Slimes and the pink bulls leading preachers.

From the current situation, there were simply too many of them.

"Forget it, let’s not bother with those harassed by Slimes and the pink bulls. There are too many to handle. Let’s first take care of the most important Demon Envoy."

Shami decided to first deal with the Demon Envoy’s matters and take Lina to the Human World to understand the human world’s real attention towards the demon clan.

"Hey, Lina, this is Shami. Please return to Demon King Castle upon receiving this message. It’s urgent, use the Teleportation Gate to come back, don’t run back."

Shami used the Demon King Ring to communicate with the white-haired girl.

Soon, a Teleportation Gate appeared, and a cardboard box person appeared in front of Shami.

"Shami, what do you want with me?"

"Lina?" Shami frowned, "Why are you wearing a cardboard box on your shoulders, is this some kind of trend?"

"No, it’s because I’ve been wanted lately, so I can only wear a cardboard box to cover my identity."

Shami took off the white-haired girl’s cardboard box and saw her a bit haggard face, then rubbed her cheeks with both hands.

"Idiot, that’s completely unnecessary. Wearing a cardboard box while walking on the street will only attract more attention. Lina, human memory is limited. Even if you’re wanted, people on the street would at most find you a bit familiar, 99% won’t recognize you."

Shami comforted the white-haired girl. She still seemed hesitant.

Shami brought out a pair of glasses and put them on the white-haired girl herself.

"If you really can’t feel at ease, just wear glasses. Even if it was Kudou Shinya, once he puts on glasses, his childhood friend wouldn’t recognize him."

Although not understanding what Shami was saying, the white-haired girl was somewhat reassured.

"So why did you call me back, Shami? I didn’t see you last night."

"Ah, last night I was surveying the terrain in the Demon Realm, and I just randomly picked a spot and fell asleep. Lina, we’re going to the Fess Kingdom to investigate the attention towards the demon clan."

"Wait a minute, I’ll go pack some underwear first."

Hearing this, the white-haired girl energetically ran into Demon King Castle.

——

Fess Kingdom.

Shami and the white-haired girl’s first stop was Eden City. This was the city they were most familiar with.

As soon as they entered the city, they were attracted by a wave of people and quietly walked over.

A group of people surrounded a huge wall, with hundreds of reward posters pasted on the city wall, each targeting different culprits. Some posters were for troublemakers caught cheating, others for local bandit leaders occupying nearby mountains, with reward amounts ranging from a minimum of 1 Silver Coin to hundreds or thousands of Gold Coins...

These bounties were issued by different forces and were open reward posters for everyone.

Whether you’re an adventurer or not, as long as you catch the right person, you get the prize.

Shami roughly looked over the city wall and saw dozens of bounty posters for Slimes.

[Bounty: One-meter-tall Slime with a belly scar. Feature: very fast, already lost track of it for the fifth time.]

[Bounty: Slime that often appears in the small woods 50 kilometers east of Eden City, featuring one big eye and one small eye. Has strong disguise ability, but true appearance already uncovered.]

[Bounty: ...]

[Bounty: 3 Gold Coins]

[Bounty: 4 Gold Coins]

[Bounty: ...]

This gets stranger...

Shami looked at the dozens of bounty posters for Slimes, for a moment thinking he must have misunderstood.

Are Slimes strong enough now to have their own exclusive reward posters?

Although the reward amount is only a few Gold Coins, it’s already much stronger than the 1 Silver Coin bounty for the neighbor Old Wang.

Here adds up to hundreds of Gold Coins in bounty amounts.

The Demon King fell into thought over this strange situation.

Then everyone started talking, pointing in the same direction.

Shami and Lina looked over and saw a heavy-level bounty poster on the city wall.

[Bounty Poster]

[Photo (a photo of the white-haired girl taken during an idol contest)]

[Name: Oka Lina]

[Identity: Demon Envoy]

[Bounty: 3000 Gold Coins]

"I didn’t expect Lina to be on the bounty list."

Shami whispered telepathically.

The white-haired girl beside him widened her eyes, her little mouth trembling, face full of disbelief.

"I’m actually worth 3000 Gold Coins. They think way too highly of me... This kind of high bounty will definitely have many people looking for me..."

"By the way, where’s my bounty? How come the Demon King doesn’t have a bounty?"

Shami looked around the city wall in confusion, soon finding a photo with a bounty of a person in black.

[Bounty: 1 Gold Coin]

"..."

"Why is the Demon King’s bounty so low, even lower than a Slime!"

Shami couldn’t help complaining loudly, attracting the attention of a female resident in front.

"It was recently modified. Previously the Demon King’s bounty was 10,000 Gold Coins, but there were groups pretending to be the Demon King to claim the reward. So it was changed to this. After all, no one really knows what the Demon King looks like now."

[Useful Information: No one knows the Demon King’s true appearance]

Shami and the white-haired girl left the bounty area.

Shami headed straight towards the adventurer guild in Eden City, while the white-haired girl went to the underground tavern on the other side, a place frequented by various idle people chatting and a source of information other than the adventurer guild.

Adventurer Guild.

Shami leisurely walked in, found an empty table, sat down, and quietly observed the surrounding crowd.

From the adventurers’ discussions, it became clear that the great treasure of the Slime was still a mainstream adventure goal for many adventurer groups.

Next came the discussions about the Demon Envoy.

At the same time, Shami also heard discussions about preaching, goblins, and so on.

Sitting for half a day, not a single person talked about the Demon King.

Shami tried to blend into a conversation.

"That white-haired Demon Envoy is really good looking, if I met her I probably couldn’t bear to hit her."

"I think, well, the Demon King, he..."

"You know where that white-haired Demon Envoy’s former residence is? Heard it’s nearby."

"The Demon King might not be a virgin..."

"Hey, let’s go there and take a look, see if we can gather any intel."

"The Demon King, haha, what do you all think about him..."

"Let’s catch some Slimes over there. Damn. Slimes are harder and harder to catch these days."

The adventurers chatted, grabbed their weapons, and then left the adventurer guild.

Leaving Shami alone awkwardly standing there.

This group isn’t talking about the Demon King at all!

The interest in the demon clan is entirely on the Demon Envoy and Slimes, with no concern for the Demon King.

Shami didn’t know whether to feel disappointed or relieved. Ignored all the time in the adventurer guild, he eventually left dejectedly.

No sooner had he walked out of the adventurer guild, he heard a commotion not far away.

Boom!

A horizontal sword qi swung over directly, slicing the adventurer guild’s roof flatly, causing the whole roof to slide down to the street, inciting panic and screams all around.

Shami sensed something amiss and quickly ran over.

Sure enough, he immediately saw the white-haired girl at the street corner.

"Lina? What happened?!"

The white-haired girl was panting, her little face tense and worried.

"Shami, run quickly, I was discovered in the underground tavern."

"Huh?"

"They charge 5 Gold Coins for a glass of juice there, I argued with the boss about the price. The boss at the underground tavern wouldn’t let me leave, I was a bit angry and couldn’t control myself, so I gave the boss a strike with my sword, and then I was recognized."

Shami swallowed hard.

"Is the boss still alive?"

"Should be..."

The white-haired girl wasn’t certain.

Shami hurriedly grabbed the white-haired girl and ran towards an empty area.

"Let’s go, don’t let the people from the underground tavern catch us."

"Don’t worry. I gave them a strike on the way, they all probably fell. Now chasing me seems to be the city guard of Eden City."

"That’s even more problematic!"
