A Demon's Journey

On the very same night, Azaroth and Sophie shared a sexy night. This time, neither of them was intoxicated.

Sophie had already lost her virginity but Azaroth still felt extreme pleasure as he pounded her pussy with his dick.

They had sex for nearly half the night. When Azaroth stopped, it wasn't because his body had reached its limit.

It was more of because Sophie wouldn't be able to endure it any longer.

She looked as if she would fall unconscious at any moment.

Azaroth knew that he had accomplished his objective. Sophie loved him greatly… For her to give her body away on her choice clearly indicated that.

He wasn't just guessing wildly. He had also observed her emotions after their sexual activities. He knew that she was getting obsessed with him.

Even if she discovered that Azaroth was the one concealing Laura and others from the King, she would still back him up.

However, Azaroth still didn't plan on letting her meet Laura and others. He wasn't scared of her reaction or her betraying him. But more scared of that Inquisitor Fox to find some sort of proof using Sophie.

Azaroth thought it would be best if he always considered the worst-case scenario and was prepared for it.

~~

Meanwhile, it was the night time and Noah was talking to Laura and others.

He informed them that a woman had come to Kloras Town and she was accompanying Azaroth. He even mentioned how that woman seemed to be friends with their master for a long time.

Moreover, their relationship was quite close, even in front of him.

Laura and Tiana didn't think much of it. In their minds, it was very natural for Azaroth to have a romantic partner.

He was handsome, strong, knowledgable, and very intelligent.

The only one who was awfully jealous was Yrellea. Fortunately, she had learned to control her emotions or she would have spoken out the thoughts in her mind.

"What is her name?" Yrellea asked Noah.

Noah replied after a second, "Sophie is her name I think."

"Hmm…" Yrellea muttered as she heard the name. She whispered to herself, "That bitch…"

Meanwhile, Laura and Tiana noticed Yrellea's abnormal expressions.

Even though Yrellea was trying to hide her emotions, Laura and Tiana managed to see through her calm façade.

They looked at each other and silently nodded. They planned to help Yrellea with her relationship.

"When does master come to visit you, Noah?" Laura asked Noah with a casual look.

Noah thought about it for some time and replied, "Master asked me to keep it a secret."

Laura chuckled as she spoke, "Aww. Would you not even tell me?"

"No." She heard Noah's emotionless voice.

Both Tiana and Yrellea started chuckling as they heard Noah.

It was amusing to witness her trying to get Noah to talk about something Azaroth had ordered him to keep secret.

Laura hadn't given up and moved closer to Noah and tickled him. Noah remained calm.

He looked at her with an emotionless expression, "Stop it. I won't tell you."

"You are no fun~" Laura pouted while turning her body.

Noah didn't seem to care and left the area. He was getting back to training.

A week later, the builders in Kloras Town finished constructing the pub. It was a wooden pub but Azaroth was planning to renovate it as the population of Kloras Town would increase.

The 40 laborers who were working on the construction of this pub began to work on another large building.

According to architects helping with the construction, they knew that the supplies weren't enough. If they tried to build the building with their current supplies, they would barely manage to construct the ground floor of the building.

These architects informed Azaroth about this issue and Azaroth assured them that the supplies were on their way.

It would probably take another 3 days or so for the supplies to reach them.

The Kloras Town was developing rapidly and Azaroth was sure that those villagers from Droln town had well settled here.

Now… It was time for him to make his next move.

~~

Sargan was walking out of Azaroth's mansion. He was going towards a villager's house.

Nearly all the villagers who had relocated from Droln village to Kloras Town knew Sargan.

He was welcomed in the house warmly.

The house he visited belonged to a laborer. The first individual he met was his wife who gave him water. Sargan drank water and took a seat.

Meanwhile, the man was pretty nervous as he looked at Sargan, "…What brings you here, sir?"

The man didn't even dare to utter Sargan's name as he understood that this man was at a pretty high position in this town.

As far as what laborers like him knew, there were only 2 retainers of Azaroth. And this guy was one of them.

Since he had come to visit him, this meant he brought a message from the Mayor.

Sargan began talking with an emotionless tone, "As you know, if you want Mayor to construct a better house for you, then you will only receive half your salary. Which, suffice to say, wouldn't be enough for you since you have 3 children."

The man looked helpless as he spoke, "That's why I will not apply for a better house until I have stored enough income for it."

Sargan knew that this was what this man was planning and added, "The Mayor also knows of this but he feels that it's quite a pity that this reason would halt the village's development."

He then looked into the man's eyes and further spoke, "For that reason, the Mayor has sent me here that he will give you full salary even after you apply for a better house."

The man's eyes widened as he heard those words. His wife was a little excited as she heard Sargan, "Really?"

"Yes. Do you doubt Mayor's words?" Sargan asked her a simple question.

"No. Never. How can we doubt Mayor's benevolence?!" The woman immediately spoke as if doubting Azaroth's generosity was the last thing she would do.

"Good. However, there is indeed a catch. Mayor has a secret task for you." Sargan spoke seriously.

The husband and wife's expression turned grave. They were wondering just what secret task Azaroth had assigned him.

Seeing their grave expressions, Sargan lightly smiled and spoke, "Stay relaxed. It's not something that will threaten your life. In fact, it's something you can accomplish effortlessly. In my opinion, this is what you call free money."

The two seemed relieved after hearing Sargan's comments.

"What is the mission honored Mayor has given me?" The guy inquired of Sargan.

Sargan looked at that man's wife and spoke to her seriously, "Please give us some moments. This is a secret mission, after all."

The woman immediately understood and left the room. Sargan also used his Ardor to prevent any sound from leaking out of the area.

Once the two were completely alone, Sargan informed him what he needed to do.

Similar to this man, Sargan visited the house of some other laborers and informed them what they needed to do.

~~

Within this week while the construction of the pub was going on, Noah had mastered almost all the techniques taught by Azaroth. And not just that, he had even passed the Elemental Trial.

Since his elemental trial was the hardest, he received the greatest reward.

His entire body was flooded with a humongous amount of Ardor. And suffice to say, this was merely half the Ardor that was his reward.

If Noah tried to absorb all the Ardor then he would undoubtedly explode even with his Mysterious Qin Technique.

Only Tiana remained among Azaroth's retainers who had yet to pass the Elemental Training Array.

However, she was quite close. She felt that she would be able to accomplish it next week.

Her power was growing steadily because of the Nine Yin Cultivation Technique. Her 2 Star Rank Cultivation that she had reached using some medicinal herbs and other supplements had finally stabilized.

She could use her Ardor as she wished. And her Ice Ardor to a certain extent as well.

Azaroth examined her Ardor flow and concluded that she had become used to cultivation. From now on, her hard effort will provide rapid benefits for a limited time.

But this wasn't the main reason he had come to visit them.

He was here to visit Yrellea.

~~

For the next three days, something strange occurred in Kloras Town.

People caught weird symptoms. Some experienced extreme fever and were forced to take bed rest. Some felt as if their stomach ache was getting worse.

There were even people who experienced pain in their bones.

The people soon came to the conclusion that they had caught some dangerous diseases.

There were physicians in town who tried to cure the disease but it only made things worse.

There were even people who went to Azaroth's office and requested him to inspect the cause of this disease and cure them.

Azaroth showed a frown as he heard the people. If these people stayed in the bed, then Kloras Town wouldn't develop. The development of Kloras Town would be halted for an indefinite period.

He promised them that he would look for a method to cure them. And even ask for a doctor from the nearby town to look at their diseases.

While the people went away, Azaroth showed a thin yet chilly smile.

Everything was going according to the plan.
