"Investigating the origins of these medicinal herbs might reveal who is supporting [Dawn]."

Next, we'll follow Operation Dawn and learn as much as possible.

"You can't help with the medication anyway, I can go by myself." Annie pulled a few medicine bottles out of her pocket and waved them in front of Lana.

"This...can Sini help? Wouldn't it be too dangerous for her to go alone?" Lana asked.

Annie: "Taking her there would be even more dangerous."

Sini quickly chimed in, "Yeah! I can't help fight anyway! I'll only be a hindrance!"

Lana: "...That's true."

Lycorina: "Go ahead, go ahead, and come back soon~~"

Last time, when An Yi went out to investigate alone, he discovered that many viscount cities were leaderless.

The time before last, An Yi was sent as bait to act alone, and he went and killed the level 13 demon lord [Corrupted Poisonous Mother Spider] by himself.

None of them had even seen the lord of the rainforest before they were turned into two spiders and swallowed by Layton and Lana.

For other adventurers, the thought might be, "Wouldn't it be too dangerous for me to go out alone?"

But in An Yi's case, it became "he would be in danger if he went out alone to face the demons."

Putting aside whether he's ambitious or not, based on An Yi's past behavior, it seems that bringing a group of people would actually hinder his actions.

An Yi always has a clear goal; when she decides to go out, she already knows what she wants to do alone.

Having others go with him would only disrupt his plans.

After all, his plan did not take into account that others would join.

"that……"

Upon hearing that An Yi was going out alone, Mi Lai quickly came over and said something;

"be careful."

“Okay.” An Yi nodded.

After a brief farewell, Annie quickly left the seminar room in the library.

But his departure wasn't actually to find the source of the medicinal herbs.

It wasn't that I wanted to secretly find medicinal herbs to concoct medicine.

As mentioned earlier, these medicines are of no use to the heroes.

As for finding supporters through medicinal herbs, that's nonsense.

These medicinal herbs are very common in cities of this level; in cities inhabited by high-magic demon races, there is no shortage of various materials.

So what if we found the source of the drug?

What if they don't have any suppliers at all, and just send people to pharmacies every day to buy supplies?

Just like if a certain demon clan likes to eat at a certain restaurant, does that mean there's some inside story between the restaurant and this clan?

If this small group had any enemies, they wouldn't mistake the restaurant owner for their mastermind just because he cooked for them.

He came out this time because he had more important things to do.

There's something I've always wanted to do.

An Yi put on the [Pseudo-Demon Lord Veil] and moved at high speed through the city.

The demons on the road might notice him, but they would only glance at him and then not think much of it.

The cognitive interference of the [False Demon Lord's Veil] is also effective against the [White Demons].

Although the wanderers were all drawn to An Yi as he passed by.

But once An Yi is out of their perception range, they can only think about it;

What flew by?

I do not know?

do not care.

Even within their perception range, their attention to An Yi was intermittent.

What is this? Let me take a look.

What is this? Let me take a look.

Then they turn around and forget again, and start saying, "What's this? Let me take a look."

There seems to be something, but I can't remember what it is.

Since they can't remember anything, they can't detect anything unusual.

Even the White Demons guarding the gates are no exception.

After a long journey, An Yi still needed to return before nightfall, so he tried to speed up his journey as much as possible without overexerting his energy.

The target location is a viscount's city on the border of Earl Peterson's territory, outside Earl Elwin's territory.

Yes, it's also [Nightmare Viscount City].

[Territory management system activated, loading territories...]

Territorial administration can only be carried out when An-i sets foot on the territory.

The function of managing territory is only activated when one sets foot on the territory.

However, the administration of each viscount's city is separate, and it is not possible to manage all nine cities at the same time.

However, An Yi already knew how to manage nine cities simultaneously.

That is to become an earl.

The entire Viscount City is located within the domain of the Duke of Bojiu.

Territorial management is calculated based on "domains".

Even though she was in a viscount city, An Yi could still manage all the baron cities under that viscount domain, except that the viscount domains were not interconnected.

This Viscount city was apparently previously managed by a viscount known as the "Black Gold Viscount".

After Viscount Black Gold's death, his family was besieged by various thirteenth-level demon organizations in the city.

Finally, I heard that half of the Black Gold Viscount's family was slaughtered, some escaped, and the rest were sold into slavery to pick cotton and be whipped.

After wiping out Viscount Black Gold's family, a group of level 13 demons themselves fought tooth and nail for the viscount title, their brains practically spilling out, and the result...

A Nightmare Viscount suddenly appeared out of nowhere, not only seizing the lord's position but also failing to make an appearance so far.

Without communicating with these organizations, they immediately created some kind of "chaotic demon" and beat them up, not even giving them a chance to submit.

However, neither the local organizations nor the local heroes knew that the Nightmare Viscount had suddenly returned to the city.

They also made contact with the Nightmare members in this area.

After making contact, the person who got in touch with An Yi was a minor succubus confidante whom An Yi had personally selected and who was now assigned to different cities.

"Lord of Dreams, it's been a long time."

"[Nightmare] Kanna, I have come to pay my respects." The little succubus knelt on one knee with her head bowed respectfully.

Chapter 69 Upgrading the Succubus (4k)

Assuming all succubi have 100% loyalty, An Yi always prioritizes underage succubi over adult succubi when calling upon them.

It's just that during the early, unnamed developmental stages of [Nightmare], various adult succubi helped with its growth, so now 99% of the management are adult succubi.

In An Yi's view, underage succubi are more valuable to train.

The world may not have the concept of "idol worship," but just like idol worship, young people are the ones who are most likely to form beliefs about certain things.

Young people are more likely to be so enthusiastic about devoting everything to their beliefs.

It's as if heroes always appear among teenagers.

They may not be the most thorough in their thinking, but when it comes to passion, they are second to none!

An Yi doesn't need so many succubi with wicked intentions to assist her, at least not to become her direct subordinates.

Even if someone is a little slow-witted, as long as they have a fervent expectation and longing for the future, they can become the object of his choice.

There are actually quite a few succubi in Nightmare, and An Yi only picked a portion of them.

In fact, An Yi has already completed one of the experiments targeting underage succubi.

As is well known, an immature succubus is like a fledgling bird trapped in an egg, surviving until it hatches by continuously absorbing the yolk.

That is, by consuming the magic power from the mother until adulthood.

Then the magic will be completely consumed.

Succubi that are nearing adulthood will gradually start to "go hungry," and when they reach adulthood, they will be truly hungry. However, they can still survive for a period of time with their remaining magic power until they "eat" for the first time.

but……

After An Yi tried to infuse the territorial magic into the succubi nearing adulthood, the succubi stopped being hungry!

Through observation and feedback, Yue discovered that once the succubi were fully replenished with magic power, they would not need to hunt at all, even when they reached adulthood.

F usually hunts for the first time because of intense hunger.

However, if this sense of hunger didn't exist, succubi wouldn't need to hunt anymore once they reached adulthood!

The conditions for the first predation could not be met!

Since the herd does not hunt at all, they cannot experience the joy of eating and therefore do not develop a dependence.

Observations have shown that succubi that have transitioned from adolescence to adulthood do not exhibit any related desires when they are not hungry.

Humans will develop needs; it is the natural duty of humans to reproduce.

and……

There is no succubus.

Their lifespan is longer than that of humans, and their race does not have a culture of procreation.

Once you reach a certain age and feel that "it's time to have a child," you can have a child according to your own wishes.
