As a businesswoman, Clarice clearly understood that if you wanted to do business, you should never waste time on things that the customer did not need.
In this regard, Clarice did a good job, and the "gift" she brought spoke volumes of this.
But like all goods, you could never get everything for free.
"This is interesting."
Jenn put down the information in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
According to the information provided by Clarice, the situation was more complicated than he had imagined.
In the beginning, based on the information obtained from Enoya, Jenn thought that this was an operation organized by the Holy Church to wipe out the Underdark.
But that was not the case. On the contrary, the Holy Church first spread the news of the Underdark, and after that, the Church of Holy Light began their operation against the Underdark.
But all the parts were vague, and they only said that they were going to the Underdark to fight evil. As for what evil it was, the Church of Holy Light did not say, and the people did not care.
But Jenn knew that the Church of Holy Light did not say it clearly. At least, the Patrolling Bishop Alex whom they killed knew nothing about it.
Also, the situation this time was very strange, because the ones leading this operation were the Temple of War, Emerald Green, and Silver Shrines, while the other four shrines were in charge of supporting them.
This situation became interesting. According to normal logic, such an alliance would usually be led by the most powerful shrines, while the other forces would be in charge of waving the flag and cheering.
But now, they found the three weakest shrines among the Nine Saints to take the lead, and the meaning of this was very intriguing.
Among these three shrines, the Emerald Goddess Adas controlled Tranquility, Spring Water, and Healing, while the Silver Saintess Seren controlled Navigation, Moon, and Half-Beast.
These two shrines were not suitable for combat, and only the God of War, Maca, was suitable. But after Maca's fall, he became a cripple.
Just like how there were strong and weak Demons among the Demon Kings, there were also differences in strength among the gods of the Sky Kingdom. Among the Nine Saints, the strongest were Amon, the Sun God, Thom, the God of Truth, and Marca, the God of War. Their shrines were also the most numerous on the Klein Continent.
After all, Amon Ra illuminated the darkness, Thom sought the truth, and Makar sheltered the war.
Wasn't there no place in this world that could live without these three existences?
Next were the Goddess of Water, Levenie, the Goddess of Forest, Mellika, and the Goddess of Harvest, Mona. The Goddess of Water controlled everything in the water, so her influence was naturally great.
The Forest Goddess Melikai protected the Elves and all creatures of nature, as well as the Druids' faith. She could be considered a considerable force.
As for the God of Harvest, Mona, there was no need to even mention it. As long as one didn't want to starve, who wouldn't obediently worship him?
As for the Silver Saintess Seren, the Great Mother Chati, and the Green Goddess Eddas … they were just subsidiary gods. Seren controlled the Navigators, and they were basically working under the Goddess of Water, Levenie.
The Great Mother Chati controlled the grains, and she was just a subordinate of the God of Harvest, Mona.
As for the Green Goddess Eddas, there was no need to mention her and Mellika in the Demon Realm.
After understanding the strength and status of the Nine Saints, looking at this combination again felt very strange.
The God of War, Makar, was indeed one of the three strongest gods in the beginning, but after he was dragged to the Demon Realm to be whipped, his temple basically existed in name only.
In this way, a person who was already completely dead and had two lackeys … What kind of combination was this?
Although Jenn had never been to the surface, he had also read a lot of books in the Demon Realm's library, so he still had this kind of common sense.
So after seeing the information Clarice brought, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
For example, this was like the Earth being invaded by aliens. If the United Nations issued a statement saying that China, Britain, France, Russia, and the United States would jointly lead the defense against the alien invasion, then everyone would naturally be relieved.
But on the other hand, if the United Nations said that Australia, Canada, and Iceland would jointly organize the defense against the alien invasion, and the five permanent countries would be responsible for providing material and personnel training … Why didn't it feel wrong?
After reading the information Clarice brought, Jenn's thoughts were not much different from this.
"Clarice, what do you think?"
"Sir, there must be something fishy about this!"
That was nonsense.
Hearing Clarice's answer, Jenn rolled his eyes.
He didn't expect Clarice to say anything useful. She was a merchant, and merchants were all cunning. Didn't you have to top up money to enjoy special services in online games?
"Okay."
Thinking of this, Jenn coughed, stared at Clarice in front of him, and extended a finger.
"One sentence, one question."
"…"
Hearing Jenn's words, Clarice raised her brows, rolled her eyes, and extended her right hand with five fingers spread open.
Looking at Clarice's response, Jenn shook his head and extended a finger.
Clarice was obviously dissatisfied with Jenn's reply. She curled her little finger slightly and winked at Jenn.
Zayen, on the other hand, curled his lips and made a "V" gesture.
Clarice, on the other hand, waved her hand and bent her ring finger.
However, Jenn was still dissatisfied. He made a "V" gesture again, showing no intention of backing down.
Both sides were in a stalemate for a moment, and then Clarice nodded helplessly.
"Okay, Your Highness. One sentence, one question."
"I want to know what happened to Klein, Lilicia, Vivian, and Nabelius in the past 30 days and what their countermeasures are."
Just as Clarice's voice fell, Jenn quickly spoke. He spoke so fast that he didn't even pause in the middle of the sentence.
Hearing Jenn's words, Clarice's eyes widened in surprise. After a while, she smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Your Highness, this is more than one question."
"One sentence, one question."
Jenn spread out his hands and showed a rather innocent expression.
"Please answer, Miss Clarice."
"Okay …"
Seeing Jenn's reaction, Clarice sighed.
"Your Highness, I really think you should be a merchant. Our Kurisgein Chamber of Commerce has always hoped to have a talent like you …"
"I'll consider it when I really can't do it anymore. But now, I still want to get an answer."
"… I understand."
Hearing Jenn's answer, Clarice sighed again — this time, it was a sincere sigh.
To be honest, when she invited Jenn to join the Chamber of Commerce, it was not purely to play with him. She really hoped that Jenn could join.
After fighting with Jenn for so many years, Clarice knew Jenn's business talent better than anyone else. In this regard, he was much more cunning than the devil.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the Kurisgein Chamber of Commerce had been dealing with Jenn for so many years, and he didn't say a word more showed Jenn's shrewdness.
The one who knew you best was often your enemy. For a guest like Jenn, if he changed his identity, it would not be a problem to become a successful Demon Realm merchant.
Clarice really couldn't understand why Jenn was unwilling to accept her invitation. His identity was not a secret in the Demon Realm. Although his cleverness could save his life, if any Demon King really wanted to kill him, there was no price to pay.
Clarice thought that it was impossible for Jenn not to understand this. On the other hand, Kurisgein, as the largest chamber of commerce in the Demon Realm, was no worse than some intermediate Demon Kings in terms of power. Even those from the Demon Temple had to give face.
If Jenn joined the chamber of commerce, he could definitely become one of the best in the chamber of commerce with his ability.
At that time, even if Zayen was powerless, wouldn't he still have the power and money he wanted?
Even the existence of a Great Demon could only be his assistant.
In this world, only money is omnipotent, isn't it?
Could it be that Jenn is planning to marry one of my two sisters?
Thinking of this, Clarice shook her head secretly.
This kind of situation was actually not uncommon among Demons, and she also knew very well that the two sisters had deep feelings for Jenn. However, Jenn didn't seem to have this intention. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to this damn place alone … I really don't know what this Prince Royal Highness is planning.
Thinking about it was just thinking about it. Since Jenn was unwilling, then Clarice had to wait for the future.
So she quickly collected her mood and began to introduce the current situation to Jenn.
"In recent days, the areas where the others are located have also been invaded by the Children of Light to varying degrees.
But Your Highness, you also know their strength. This level of invasion is basically useless against them. "
"That's true."
Hearing this, Jenn nodded. Clarice was right.
He left the family with nothing, and now he had less than 50 people in his hands.
How could he compare with a group of regular army?
"Sir Klein kills on sight. Basically, the Children of Light who dare to break into the underground are killed by him and turned into undead creatures to supplement the strength of the army.
I've been fortunate enough to meet him several times. I have to admit that the strength of some of these Children of Light is quite interesting. "
Hearing this, Jenn curled his lips.
His elder brother, Klein, was transformed from a human to a Demon, and he was backstabbed by a human.
Because of this, Klein's hatred for humans was through the sky. To him, to kill all humans and unify the continent was his lifelong wish.
After all, Klein even built the underground city in the Lost Swamp, which was very close to the densely populated area on the surface. This meant that Klein was prepared for a massacre.
These people were seeking their own deaths, so they couldn't blame others.
"As for your second sister, Cecilia, she is still hiding in her own underground city. But with the help of the Dark Elves, the invaders are not having an easy time."
This was also Cecilia's tactic. She was best at killing people with a borrowed knife. If she could not do it herself, she would not do it herself.
Jenn was sure that his second sister was probably thinking about how to besiege Wei to save Zhao Zhao.
"Princess Vivian's side is very lively … but it has nothing to do with the underground city."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Jenn couldn't help but be interested.
"What do you mean?"
"It's like this. After Princess Vivian finished building the underground city, she returned to her original form and walked around the surrounding area, asking the humans to give her offerings.
Otherwise, she would flatten all the human towns, so … "
Having said that, Clarice made a gesture, and Zayen understood what she meant.
His fourth sister, Vivian, was a Dragon. According to Clarice, Vivian had transformed into a Dragon and went out to show off.
On the other hand, the humans on the surface had completely different attitudes towards a Dragon and a Demon. Perhaps they were very happy to offer sacrifices to her. With such a majestic Dragon in their territory, it could at least be considered as a nuclear deterrent.
Of course, there were also "Dragon Slayers".
"As for Princess Nabelius's side … Your Highness, as you know, there aren't many humans there, so she wasn't affected."
"I'm very clear about that."
Hearing this, Jenn couldn't help but laugh.
Nabelius's personality was very similar to Elyse's. They both preferred peace and quiet, and this youngest sister loved to stick to him.
This time, when she came to the main material plane to build the underground city, she chose the Ravine of No Return, which was the closest to him.
That place was desolate, and there wasn't even a shadow of a ghost.
Humans wouldn't look for trouble, and Nabelius wouldn't look for trouble either. It was a peaceful and boring place.
Jenn lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then, he threw a money pouch over.
Clarice, on the other hand, reached out her hand to take the money bag in tacit understanding, and respectfully bade farewell to Zayen before turning to leave.
Zayen, on the other hand, did not say a word. It was only after Clarice left that he heaved a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.
"For the sake of justice and light, we have to maintain a peaceful and stable living environment."
