Chapter 57 Fiona's Labyrinth
The main city, Fiona, is a modern city with tall buildings and spacious and clean concrete roads.

Monster warning devices have been erected on all the main roads in this city, covering the entire city. When monsters that have not been certified by the Adventurer's Guild appear within the warning range, these devices will sound an alarm.

In the modern city, there are many pedestrians wearing armor and robes on the road. Some of these equipment are dropped by hellish monsters, while others are fashionable designs made by human blacksmiths.

As long as conditions permit, humans will never seem to stop pursuing a fashionable appearance.

Fiona Courtyard covers an area of ​​more than three million square kilometers. The main city still uses the name of Fiona. It was controlled by humans many years ago and is now basically equivalent to a special province within the Earldom of Bridges.

In addition to rich mineral resources, humans have also opened up large-scale farms here and developed a large number of planting and breeding industries.

To conquer this kind of courtyard controlled by humans, one must completely kill the original masters of the courtyard and obtain the fragments of the world from them.

Not to mention the difficulty of killing the Lord of the Courtyard, just the problem of forcing out the Lord of the Courtyard's body can show how hard it is to do.

If there were no strong people to establish a country, the managers of such courtyards would mostly be nobles among the Anju people. In the Magic Empire, being an Anju person is a prerequisite for obtaining a noble title.

Yes, it is not the case that you can obtain the title just because you are good at fighting, strong, or extraordinary. Quite the opposite.

In other words, the nobles in the human world are all weaklings in combat, and even their heirs to the titles must be chosen from the weaklings among their descendants.

This is also a tradition that has been passed down in Loren since some unknown time.

The division of power and strength does not mean that the two sides are hostile, but it is definitely not friendly either. Instead, it makes it quite difficult for the top leaders to act recklessly.

Leaving the mansion and walking on the streets of the main city, Mu Hua summoned Monday, but the early warning devices on the streets did not sound an alarm.

Although even Tuesday was registered by Mu Hua as his guardian spirit, in fact, the monster followers who accepted the slavery contract of humans would not trigger the alarm.

Fiona has more magical elements than the outside world. Although the hellhound following Mu Hua is conspicuous, there are also humans riding war horses on the road, and some people are leading contracted monsters.

People like Mu Hua who carry demons with them are not the only ones. Although those demons are relatively low-level, there are indeed people who have contracted demons around them.

As to whether it was a slavery contract, Mu Hua had no idea.

"Master, I think you should try this fried egg." While waiting for the commuter bus in front of the platform, Zhou Yi said to Mu Hua while staring at a small stall on the roadside.

"Give me two fried eggs." Mu Hua followed suit and said to the chef in front of the stall.

"Okay~!" With the physical characteristics of an Oriental, the chef responded and started cooking skillfully.

The devil's egg is the size of an ostrich egg. The egg liquid is broken and seasonings, silverroot and devil mint are added. Soon the stall is filled with the aroma of fried eggs.

Well, devil's egg, that's right. It's the egg laid by the devil.

If these devil eggs grow to the size of a basketball, they cannot be eaten. No, it should be said that they are not delicious because little devils have already been bred inside.

Of course, most demons don’t mind humans eating demon eggs. They will even crack a couple of their own eggs to try. For demons, this thing is just a byproduct of lovemaking.

Female demons actually like laying eggs because the process brings them pleasure beyond lovemaking.

The commuter train to the suburbs had not arrived yet, so Mu Hua and Zhou Yi squatted on the platform and enjoyed a meal of devil's fried eggs.

Devil's eggs can occasionally be found in some courtyards, but any devil's eggs larger than a basketball are considered "expired food."

The meat of the little devil is disgusting, and no one likes the taste of 'live devil beads'.

When people encounter a larger devil egg, they usually smash it directly, killing the little devil inside.

As for taming little demons, forget it.

These little demons are born with a legacy of knowledge, but perhaps talents, magic, etc. will not be inherited immediately.

But how to become a qualified demon, that kind of inheritance must have been instilled into their little heads before they were hatched.

"Swish~~" the commuter train enters the station.

The skytrain looks like a train and its appearance gives people a very heavy feeling.

Mu Hua took Zhou Yi on the bus. The skytrain was controlled by a magical product similar to an intelligent brain, and did not require a special driver. Driving on a specific skytrain line, this bus-like skytrain could reach an average speed of 500 kilometers per hour. The scenery outside the window was rapidly receding. It didn't take long for Mu Hua to get off the bus in an open area behind a windbreak.

On the open plain, adventurers gathered in groups of three or five. At the end of the plain was a mountain range that towered into the clouds.

There are no sun, moon or stars in the courtyard, but under the operation of certain elemental laws, there are also day and night, and even changes in clouds and rain.

Like most adventurers here, Mu Hua headed towards the mountains.

There are many entrances to the maze over there, and there may be monsters active in the mountains, inside the rocks, and under the mountains.

But they cannot leave that mountain area.

Because the courtyard is controlled by humans, the monsters in Fiona's courtyard can only descend in the mountain area, and many adventurers actually prefer to hunt in this kind of maze with more sufficient intelligence.

"Hi, hello. A very handsome hellhound. Martin, Dreiser Martin, are you here to explore alone?" Along the way, a brown-haired young man saw Zhou Yi beside Mu Hua, left his original team, and took the initiative to greet Mu Hua.

"Mu Hua, you can call me Mu. I'm going to the dog cave maze. Maybe I can catch a few evil black dogs and tame them." Mu Hua responded with a smile, his eyes glancing at a demon that was wandering towards the young man.

The Claw Demon is a hunched-backed demon about 1.5 meters tall with claws over 30 centimeters long on its palms.

This is a mid-level demon whose claws are sharper than swords. It is a less mysterious but very aggressive demon.

Unlike the adventurers in Bear Pig Town, the teams that come to Fiona Courtyard to hunt demons are relatively fixed.

In addition to adventurers from outside, there are also many local residents who settled here and were born and raised in this courtyard.

The young man in front of him should have a good family background. His team has nearly twenty people, and almost all of them are equipped with a complete set of sophisticated equipment.

Although he did not check the attributes, Mu Hua instinctively felt a strong threat from someone in this team.

Only two people in the team were armed with guns, four were mages or priests holding staffs, and the rest were carrying cold weapons that contained magical fluctuations.

The young man took the initiative to show goodwill, and Mu Hua saw strange emotions in the young man's eyes, especially when he saw the sinister claw demon. Mu Hua probably understood why the young man communicated with him.

"This hellhound looks very powerful. Perhaps ordinary hellhounds are no match for it?"

"It's a pity that we are planning to go to the Ogre's Underworld. I need some of the giant monster's bone marrow to sense the healing properties. Otherwise, I would also like to try my luck and see if I can get some black dog puppies." Martin smiled to Mu Hua.

"Martin, you don't need luck. You have enough money. You can buy the black dog pups." The Claw Demon walked to Martin's side, looked at Monday, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"No, Xioulu, those captive black dogs can't compare to the wild black dogs." Martin's eyes flashed gloom, but he immediately put on a kind smile.

"Then go buy wild ones. You're not short of money." The Claw Demon grinned and turned to look at Monday.

"Cerberus, your contractor is really good. He seems to be a great comrade."

"Unlike Martin, look, even with my help, he still has to lead a team of twenty people to hunt those brainless monsters." The Claw Demon rubbed his nails.

"Get away, Claw Demon. If you show off your claws in front of me again, I will bite your throat." Monday shouted rudely.

"Haha..." Facing Monday's scolding, the Claw Demon was not angry, but instead let out a strange haha ​​laugh.

"Mu, maybe we should add each other's contact information? If you can get the black dog's puppies, I think I can give you a satisfactory price." Martin said to Mu Hua as if he didn't see the quarrel between the two demons.

"Of course, but I'm afraid you don't need to look for me." Mu Hua glanced at Martin's team and said with a chuckle.

"Who knows." Martin spread his hands, revealing the adventurer's bracelet, and the two added each other's contact information.

It is hard to say whether Martin really wants to raise a black vicious dog, but Mu Hua guessed that this guy came here for Monday.

It wasn't that he wanted to cause trouble for Mu Hua. Perhaps because Mu Hua had also contracted a devil, Martin might have regarded Mu Hua as his 'comrade-in-arms'.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next time Mu Hua contacts him, he would like to discuss how to kill the Claw Demon beside him while complying with the terms of the servant contract.
