What was a Demon King's daily life like?
In folklore, they were constantly working hard to destroy the world, or sitting on luxurious thrones like lazy pigs, laughing as they watched the souls being tossed into a pot of boiling oil and torment themselves.
All in all, their daily lives were definitely evil and cruel, to the point that one couldn't even look at them directly.
But to Jenn, it was all nonsense.
As a Demon King, it was only natural that he would work hard to bring the greatest chaos and war to this world. (It was fine if he died, but the Demon Race did not like this.)
But Jenn wasn't a workaholic. He wasn't like his elder brother, who would disregard everything for revenge.
To him, as long as he lived in this world for one more second, those humans had to die.
And Jenn didn't have the obsession of a wronged wife. To him, this was a game. A game that enjoyed war, chaos, and death.
Toying with people's hearts, destroying order, and watching as they slowly fell into chaos and depravity.
The wonderful feeling of walking step by step into the abyss under his own temptation could be considered a very good entertainment, but for Zayen, it was nothing more than entertainment — no one would treat playing games as a symbol of the value of their life for the rest of their lives.
That was the biggest difference between a Demon King and a Hero. The Demon King only needed to set a general direction, and then he could do whatever he wanted. Perhaps his subordinates would gather a group of equally evil thugs who thirsted for death and destruction.
But those guys were meaningless to the Demon King. They were just pawns to be thrown away, which was why it didn't matter if they succeeded or failed, it was just a form of entertainment for the Demon King.
On the other hand, the Heroes were different. Perhaps just because of the Demon King's momentary evil thoughts, they had to travel across mountains and rivers to defeat one enemy after another and destroy one conspiracy after another, paying a price that ordinary people couldn't bear.
And when they sacrificed their loved ones, their friends, and their family to stop the demon king's conspiracy, the heroes who shed tears of excitement would never have imagined that in the dark abyss, the demon king had already given up on this boring game — and began to consider the next, more interesting idea.
Jenn was the same. He knew that the Scal Federation was in a critical situation because most of the representatives that were sent out were the heirs of various families, and Jenn had sent Xenomorphs to kill most of them.
In this situation, it was inevitable that the various families would fall into chaos.
On the other hand, the heirs of the Soros Family were released back to their families. They obviously wouldn't be reassured just because of Old Papwood's appeasement and goodwill. They were definitely still eyeing the position of the Governor.
And there was also that mysterious third party … Jenn didn't know who it was and couldn't be bothered to care. But he was sure that they were eyeing the Scal Federation just like him.
Now that he had weakened the strength of the Scal Federation, those fellows would be fools if they still didn't jump out.
But for Jenn, there was nothing else he needed to do.
Although he had enough resources and built a sizable army, Zayen knew that the forces in his hands could only be used on a small scale. If he really tried to destroy the world like his elder brother, he would definitely be beaten back in less than five minutes with bruises all over his head.
Therefore, what he needed to do now was to wait for the Scal Federation to continue weakening until it was besieged internally and externally.
That was why he brought Enoya and Irene to Wallfor for a boring trip.
Wallfor was the second largest commercial city in the Eagle Plateau. It relied on the Poetry Canal and was well-connected by water.
That was why it was a rare prosperous place in the entire plateau.
But compared to other cities, Wallfor was more special.
Although it didn't look any different from an ordinary city from the outside, one would find that 85% of the city was made up of rivers and bridges. If people wanted to travel, they would either take a boat or a carriage.
The entire city looked as though it was built on water and had the style of Venice in another world.
"…!"
Irene leaned against the side of the carriage and looked at the city outside. She revealed a surprised and excited expression. She widened her eyes curiously and gazed at the tall arch bridges and the boats shuttling back and forth on the river.
This was the first time that she had come to such a big city. Since she was born, she had spent most of her time in a small rural town. As for other places, she had only occasionally heard about them from other people's conversations. She had never been to a big city like this before.
However, compared to Irene's surprise, Enoya was very calm. She didn't even look at the scenery outside. Instead, she took out a small notebook and began to report to Jenn.
"So then, Master, we will first tour the Purple Lily River, then head to Golden Bell Avenue for a meal. After that, we will participate in the auction at the Radiance Fountain tonight … The auction will start at 6 pm.
"Of course not."
Hearing Enoya's arrangement, Jenn nodded. Then, he secretly glared at Pattilina who was looking around curiously.
This was what an adjutant should do. She would arrange her master's itinerary for the day so that he could act step by step.
On the other hand, Pattilina didn't have such thoughts. Apart from being proactive in fighting, she was always a lazy bum. This was also the reason why Jenn had to pull Enoya to his side.
It was because Pattilina wasn't suitable for this kind of work, so Jenn had to make a new choice.
Sensing Jenn's gaze, Pattilina shrunk her little head and stuck out her tongue, pretending not to see it.
Seeing Pattilina's reaction, Jenn let out a cold snort and let her be.
After passing through the city gate, Jenn instructed the carriage to go down to the pier.
There were two ways to travel in Wallfor. One was by boat, and the other was by walking.
But considering the crisscrossing river channels and the time needed to cross the bridge, taking a boat was obviously more suitable.
As a large city, Wallfor naturally didn't lack ferries. In fact, there were even ferries dedicated to transporting carriages at the pier. Compared to a pleasure boat, this kind of boat was much flatter and wider, looking like a rectangle with a sharp front and back.
Around the boat, there were 16 sailors holding long poles in charge of rowing the boat. This kind of boat was generally used to transport nobles, so it was expensive and ordinary people couldn't afford it at all.
But of course, this wasn't a problem for Jenn. Because he gave enough money and Alice, who was in charge of negotiating on behalf of the master, had a natural halo of being "loved by everyone", Jenn and the others quickly got the largest and best ferry at the pier and brought their carriage to the direction of the Purple Lily River.
Riding on the river and admiring the beautiful scenery of the City of Thousand Rivers was indeed relaxing.
As far as the eye could see, the green river reflected the sky, while the clear water reflected the shadows of the bridges, pedestrians, buildings, and boats.
At first glance, it felt like there were two identical inverted worlds on the surface and under the water, which couldn't help but fascinate people.
Pattilina and Irene curiously leaned on the window and looked outside. Alice, as a maid, was arranging refreshments for the others, while Jenn and Enoya were resting by the side.
In fact, until now, Jenn didn't know what Alice's number was.
It wasn't that they looked exactly the same, but they were too similar.
Just like how Europeans and Americans looked at Asians, and Asians looked at blacks and whites, they were almost carved from the same mold. Unless they got along with each other for a long time, they would still be the same person.
Not to mention, Alice's body shape and height were similar, and they all had beautiful, soft, shoulder-length blonde hair. They all wore blue maid uniforms with white edges. In this case, Jenn had to distinguish them clearly. It wasn't like everyone was looking for trouble!
But anyway, all Alice's memories and thoughts were common, so it didn't matter who she brought along.
While Jenn and the others were admiring the city in front of them, they also attracted a lot of attention.
In fact, in the City of Thousand Rivers, it was a fashion for nobles to travel in carriages and ferries.
In this case, it also formed a kind of invisible competition between nobles.
Whose carriage was more beautiful and luxurious, whose mount was more obedient, stronger, and smarter.
These were considered unique scenery in the City of Thousand Rivers. And Jenn's carriage naturally attracted the attention of other traveling nobles.
But it was no wonder. Zayen's carriage had inherited the ultimate luxury of the demons. The carriage that was originally enchanted with magic engravings and the Lamp of Eternity was enough to make people envious, jealous, and hateful, not to mention the two black horses that were used to pull the carriage. They stood there majestically like war horses.
And it could be seen that the two horses were very smart. They obviously didn't wear eye patches, but they turned a blind eye to everything around them. They didn't seem to be frightened at all, and it seemed that they could fully execute the will of their master. After all, this carriage didn't have a coachman!
For a moment, Jenn's carriage attracted the attention of many nobles. Everyone was whispering and discussing, trying to figure out who this uninvited guest was and what his family emblem represented.
And naturally, Jenn also sensed their spying. But he didn't care about those foolish humans at all. Let them stare at his carriage with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
But just as the ferry turned the third turn, an accident happened.
A cruise ship that was twice the size of the ferry sailed from the other side of the river, stirring up waves that forced the other boats to avoid it.
And Jenn's ferry didn't seem to expect this at all. Even though the captain yelled and turned around hurriedly, he was still a step too late. The cruise ship brushed past the ferry and at the next moment, the waves caused by the high-speed sailing surged toward Jenn's ferry!
