Chapter 1760: 479 Space City and the Beautiful Female Devil_3 Matthew arrived at a place, every fifteen meters or so there was either a standing, or embedded, or floating incandescent lamp. The light spread throughout the Space City Citadel and the satellites of Hume Three. This made this satellite belt, which hangs isolated outside the Storluk planet, look like an artificially lit moon. Even though Matthew had no love for Storluk Industries, he had to admit the space undead had crafted the planet Storluk quite impressively. And in terms of order, the public security in Space City was at least as good as in Rolling Stone City. Matthew wandered between the bustling main roads and almost deserted alleys, encountering various astral creatures but never witnessing a crime. Regarding the frequency of patrols by the law enforcers, it wasn’t very rigorous. Within half a day, he had only encountered a couple of space undead encased in their tin cans and a squid alchemist with a large tube of liquid metal. Most of the intelligent life in the citadel was relaxed. Even if they returned from outside fully armed, once they entered the area of Space City, all beings would voluntarily adhere to certain unwritten rules. Matthew found this quite astonishing. “Storluk Industries has done a lot of bad things, but their technology, management, and system indeed have their merits…” After spending half the day, the role of the Drakonid Mage that Matthew was playing had initially integrated into this wonderful community filled with astral creatures. He found out, Storluk Industries didn’t directly intervene in the governance and management of Space City or the other two satellites. There were roughly three powers that dominated the development, security, tax collection, and management of this area. They were— the Giza powers led by the Divine Level Clairvoyant, Pearce four space giants highly valued by Storluk Industries and their established Giant Brothers’ Association. At the same time, Matthew also learned, In the past, there had been a portal to Storluk, and one could have access to the mainland if they had good relations with one of the three major powers. However, due to recent events, the portal was temporarily closed. Now, the residents of Space City were also curious about when the portal to the mainland would reopen. To further probe for information, Matthew came to an “Explorer Tavern” run by the Mantis. He approached the counter and ordered a few drinks before pretending to casually ask the Mantis bartender about any interesting happenings in Space City lately. Seeing that Matthew was generous, the bartender answered without much thought: “There are many interesting stories, but the two that everyone talks about the most are—” Matthew raised an eyebrow: “Go on.” The bartender said while making cocktails: “The first is that Mr. Christopher is about to host another ‘Treasure Convention’. If you win at the Treasure Convention, you could become one of the leaders in Mr. Christopher’s trading guild or get a chance to join the commercial department of Storluk Industries.” Matthew smiled: “Sounds pretty good.” The bartender firmly agreed: “Of course, everyone wants to join Storluk, but sadly I don’t have any treasures, otherwise, I’d participate in the Treasure Convention myself.” “And the second…” “There’s talk that a bloodless female devil recently appeared in the neighboring district, causing several tragic incidents recently.” “The Mantis Law Enforcement Team has been dispatched.” “They are frantically searching the entire area for that female devil…” Matthew raised an eyebrow: “Is that supposed to be fun?” The bartender mysteriously said: “It’s said that this female devil is incredibly beautiful and comes from the Blood Robes family of Purgatory…”
