The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Honestly, the moments that let me relax every day are probably only when practicing swordplay and writing letters to you. :)

Moreover, at the beginning of next month, I plan to visit the southern part of the Silver Pine Forest area, which used to be the frontline of the decisive battle between my father, Duke Aaron Campbell, and the Reggie Dragon Demon King. It is also one of the places most affected by the aftermath of the war. I want to know how it has recovered. Additionally, a certain legend that has emerged locally intrigues me.

Would you be interested in accompanying me?

Once again, I send you my sincere greetings and look forward to your reply!

[Dear Princess Erin Campbell,

I am very happy that you can share the little things in your life with me; please don't ever feel that this is a burden or a disturbance to me. To be honest, it is one of the few havens in this complex world where I can temporarily forget my troubles, a harbor to rest my soul. If there comes a day when you no longer share these troubles with me, I think I would certainly be saddened.

As for your troubles, I fully understand and deeply admire you. I have never tried to make my servants understand everything I do, yet you can see the confusion in their eyes... This is something I admit I cannot accomplish.

As you can see, I am not as perfect as you imagine; I too am puzzled by the complexities of the human heart.

So, please be confident. You haven't done anything wrong, and being imperfect is never a fault. Only a god can satisfy everyone, and after all, we are human and can only do what we are capable of.

Regarding your invitation, I would be delighted to accompany you. Although I previously passed by the vicinity of the Silver Pine Forest, I did not stop to admire it due to the heavy snow. If I could travel with you, I am sure I would see a different landscape.

—Roxey Colin

...

As days passed by, February gradually approached, and the snow outside Thunder City receded from knee-deep to ankle-deep, possibly soon to melt into spring water flowing into the fields along countryside paths.

Unknowingly, Luo Yan has been staying in Thunder City for over half a month.

During this time, he was either replying to various letters or strolling through the upper society stage in Thunder City under the guise of Roxey Colin.

Excluding the Andes Family and local potentates,

he had almost met all the influential families in the Campbell Duchy during this time. Even Alex's father, Earl Spinor, and Earl Danqi of South Stream Valley County conversed pleasantly with him.

These people were once Duke Aaron Campbell's capable aides.

The latter was able to defeat Reggie Dragon not just with the Light of Praise in his hand, but also with the indispensable support of these people.

At this moment, these foundational stones of the Campbell Duchy's power structure are flirting with demons... though they are unaware that the person they are flirting with is a demon.

Even Grand Duke Edward on the throne of the Campbell Duchy has shown an interest in drawing him in.

Including Lord Jelock, who is competing with Grand Duke Edward for power, expressed his intention to recruit him through the Earl of North Stream Valley.

That is almost the center of power in the Campbell Duchy and also the vortex that Erin Campbell has always intended to avoid.

Luo Yan also didn't expect to be so proficient in such matters, having only studied them in class before without actual practice.

Perhaps this is what they call talent.

In short, with the unintentional endorsement of Princess Campbell and the encouragement of the Andes Family, the upper society of Thunder City has come to believe in the various titles and background of "Mr. Colin" without doubt and are increasingly openly expressing their desires.

The titles are real.

So are the gold coins and diamonds.

Including the admiration from Erin Campbell.

If you still question the truth at this point, you might as well doubt the reality of the world you live in.

Additionally, although Luo Yan was not in the Demon King Territory during this time, he did not completely drop the work of the Demon King but instead watched over the actions of his minions through Youyou.

When something requires his involvement, he decides based on the specific situation whether to instruct Alakdo or Qianqian to handle it, and if not necessary, he does not interfere.

Interestingly, Luo Yan found that when he was absent, his little players developed better than when he was watching them every day.

They are like dandelions in the garden; only when not under scrutiny do various wild ideas grow rampantly.

At the same time as Colin Mining Company settled in the Thunder City port area, his players also founded the first genuinely joint-stock company in the Great Graveyard—Cemetery Railway Group.

Over a hundred players participated in the formation of this group, and without his leadership, they self-organized and completed the entire company operation framework and equity structure.

Although Luo Yan felt they mostly copied the methods from reality, managing to reach such a level is quite remarkable.

With the ability to organize a group of people like this, even outside the game, they could accomplish something significant in reality.

Besides the "coal bosses" and "iron bosses" keen on infrastructure, the players passionate about farming are also not idle.
