#210 - Desler, the Death Town

Is this really Death Town, Dessler?!

That clock tower, that ancient well, the streets filled with mist, all reminded Li Yue… This was a place once depicted in a book.

In the book "Death Town, Dessler," it was told that all the souls in the town were sacrificed to the devil, and sealed in the town's ancient well; the townspeople would act according to the devil's instructions, interacting with merchants while also luring people who came to Dessler into depravity, making them members of the devil.

Li Yue also remembered that Dessler was close to the Sea of ​​Death, so the goods often contained items related to underwater relics.

Leaving the cesspool of the Sixth Library, Li Yue was now standing in a narrow alley, and did not see the shadows of the slave scholars—Li Yue suspected that there was more than one exit, and the slave scholars came out earlier than him and may have gone deep into the Demon Market, or escaped outside the town.

"What's wrong?" From a hidden place, Yingying slowly typed out a question mark.

"This place… I've read about it in a book." Li Yue smelled the magic and human气息 in the mist, felt the dampness emanating from the sewer, and the faint smell of blood, confirming that he was currently in Ant Alley next to the clock tower, not far from the town square, only a quarter of an hour's walk on the main road.

"Tsk, reading is still useful." Dan Dan said in Li Yue's chest in a muffled voice, like a voice from the heart.

Li Yue briefly explained Death Town, Dessler, to Dan Dan and Yingying, and then said lightly: "It seems that Death Town, Dessler, was also once a trophy of the Demon Expeditionary Force, and was taken to Demon King City to become the Demon Market."

"Then what, what do they sell here?" Dan Dan continued to ask in Li Yue's heart, "Is there anything delicious?"

"Definitely nothing as delicious as Mentor gave you." Li Yue answered Dan Dan, looking at the shadow on the ground, "Is there any place you want to go?"

"No." Yingying's handwriting was very calm. Li Yue also noticed that since coming to Dessler, Yingying had become much more stable, touching this and bumping into that in hidden places with her shadow, enjoying every minute and every second here.

"Then follow me, I will take you to visit… Death Town, Dessler." Li Yue took the initiative to become a tour guide and walked along Ant Alley towards the main road.

"Okay." Yingying followed quietly.

Li Yue had three goals for this trip. First, of course, was to use the 270,000 gold coins in his stomach to find goods that could enhance the strength of the library.

Before coming, Li Yue also analyzed the current layout of the library—currently, the library mainly focuses on earth element, self-healing bone, and magic wolf tooth's physical damage. Once encountering a magic-armored knight with strong defense or a fly, there would be a greater limitation, and Li Yue could only personally take action to defend against the enemy.

In terms of confusing the enemy, the effect of the Deception Staff is good, but it still lacks cost-effective devices that can be used for a long time.

Li Yue obviously couldn't stay in the library for the rest of his life, so the first point was to enrich the library's defense methods—magic books, magic devices, and even muskets and cannons are all acceptable… As long as the library can perform fiercely in the days when Li Yue is not around, anything is acceptable.

In essence, these are inseparable from energy, materials, and structure.

Magic is of course the library's greatest existing energy source, but once the "Deception Staff" is used, it will not be enough, and it is necessary to find some clean energy sources that can take effect without Li Yue being present.

Such as electricity, steam, and petroleum.

However, Li Yue did not find any relevant records similar to petroleum in the library's related records. The existing energy sources on the Chaos Continent are mainly concentrated on magic and steam, and even electricity is only auxiliary…

From this, it can be seen that the Chaos Continent's research on magnets is only at a preliminary stage—this is not to blame them, after all, with magic, an inexhaustible resource, all of humanity's technology has a new direction of development.

Li Yue is also sure that the Chaos Continent is different from where he was in his previous life, and is taking a completely different technology tree.

Power is key, indispensable—Li Yue also couldn't recall the little science he learned in his previous life, and since he couldn't find relevant records in the library in this world, he could only find another way, starting with magic materials, and seeking the best quality energy.

So, the primary purpose of this trip to the Demon Market is to find some promising magic materials to truly develop the library.

Li Yue's secondary goal is to try to leave Demon King City—after all, this place is full of demons and precarious, and it cannot be considered a stable development environment…

Regardless of anything else, the survival of the Mini Minis is already tied to Li Yue. If he can take them away from Demon King City and find a paradise-like place, that would be great.

Although there has been no expedition for a hundred years, the human society on the Chaos Continent has developed rapidly, but the library still records some unknown places, and Li Yue will also investigate the feasibility of leaving Demon King City.

The last goal is to find "Hellfire," even if it's just news—if he can't buy practical magic materials and can't find a way to leave Demon King City, then Li Yue can only face the demons head-on. The first to bear the brunt is the colosseum where Oogway Boogie is located, so he naturally has to prepare for the "weakness" of the burlap demon.

These three tasks cannot be entrusted to others, and Li Yue can only go out in person to see the Demon Market recorded in the book, and maybe find some surprises.

Dan Dan and Yingying certainly didn't know what Li Yue was thinking. For them, this was just a tour, quite relaxing—voices kept coming from his chest asking this and that, and Li Yue patiently talked to himself, like a neurotic old man, walking alone in Ant Alley.

Just as he was about to walk out of Ant Alley, Li Yue finally met the first human being since returning to the world.

A woman was wearing a trench coat, wrapping herself tightly, leaving the brightly lit main road, and staggering towards Li Yue; Li Yue slightly rolled his eyes and used "Perspective" to see through her graceful figure under the trench coat, and that corset and belt, and the tight fishnet stockings.

However, the "human" Li Yue encountered was not her, but a shadow hidden in the dark of Ant Alley—he seemed to have merged with the garbage heap. If it weren't for the Demon Illustrated Book's prompt, Li Yue wouldn't have noticed him at all.

Two saws were tightly gripped in his hands. His nostrils twitched, and while breathing, he was also locating the two "humans" in Ant Alley.

[Coming… coming… kill… kill… blood… lots of blood… ]

Listening to his heart, Li Yue inexplicably felt a little funny—this human must not have thought… that none of the two targets in the alley were human, right?

Unexpectedly, there was such a scene at the Demon Market, and he just happened to encounter it? The serial killer of Dessler Town?

In the end… is he killing humans?

There was blood and mud on the stone road. As the woman leaned against the wall and vomited, the serial killer sprang out from the garbage heap in the shadows and sawed off the woman's two Achilles tendons.

A scream rang out, and the woman fell to the ground.

The serial killer grabbed the woman's hair, dragged her, and walked towards Li Yue.
