The meeting was quite short.
Of course, it's my fault that I automatically imagined the kind of meeting on Earth.
The theme of the meeting was that the funds of the Demon King's Castle were broken. The main reason was that the Demon King's Castle was destroyed.
Then I learned that the funds I had arrived at Demon King's Castle had been on the verge of danger for a long time, and had been in a state of dynamic equilibrium of tearing down the west wall to make up for the east wall. In the words of the earth, this group of people used N credit cards to repay each other a little. Nothing happened, but suddenly the mailbox burst with 10,000 bank statements after I swiped them...
Anyway, it's really a wonderful thing.
Thinking about it this way, the devil's life was quite miserable.
But in my impression, the Demon King probably won’t be short of money, right? Not only in terms of status, but also in terms of pure strength...
I don’t understand. I always feel that this demon king is different from any image I have known. What kind of color is it full of?
In fact, nothing was discussed at this meeting. It seemed more like announcing this fact than "solving the problem of funding rupture".
This kind of thing doesn’t match what I remember...
I asked a few questions in it, and received some ridicule, both salty and mild—
I got kicked out.
"As expected, it was my fault that I had strange fantasies about you in the first place! Don't talk nonsense without any constructive opinions."
After being kicked out of the red portal, these words were the only words left in my ears.
Then the revolving door closed mercilessly.
what……
I sighed and sat up from the ground.
“…I think it’s actually very profitable to build a tourist area with the theme of the Demon King…”
"Lin...boss?"
As a result, as soon as I got up, I heard the familiar voice from last night.
It's Binelle.
I raised my head and found her standing at the entrance of the alley looking at me in surprise.
"Ah, is Miss Binelle out for a walk?"
Maybe she didn't see that scene just now...
It would be troublesome if you saw it. You really can't do anything to such a person.
"I...just heard something falling so I came over to take a look."
"I fell down."
"Is that so? Are you okay?"
"no problem."
This is the small alley next to the hotel. The back door of the hotel is just a turn away.
"Exactly. I wonder if breakfast is to your liking?"
Binelle waved her arms slightly stiffly and said, "It's not bad. It's beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that this small village actually has a craftsman like Boss Lin."
of course! I am very confident in my skills, otherwise the cooking skills I paid so much money to learn would be in vain.
"But having said that, what exactly is Miss Binelle doing here? If it is to investigate the wolves, I would suggest that it is better to go to the forest over there."
"Actually, I also plan to...well, investigate the surrounding situation."
There's always the feeling that she's going to show off her cards.
"Does the boss recommend anyone? You can take me to investigate the surrounding areas."
"Going to the forest? If that's the case, the hunter from the Dog family..."
"You should know what I'm talking about, right?" Binelle said softly, "Although I don't know why you are here, you are actually a powerful professional."
Was discovered...? So what happened that night was seen by him. In this case——
"So, what are you going to do?"
I don't have any convenient magic that can erase her memory, so if something unexpected happens, I can only...
"Is it okay to hire you?"
Why.
There seemed to be an unexpected answer.
"I'm the hotel owner. The hotel can't run for a day without me."
"How about I pay you five hundred gold coins?" Binelle said softly.
"That's a deal."
Sorry, the price she offered was too high.
"Wait...cough cough cough."
Although I was lost in the temptation of money just now, it was only at this time that I remembered that I still had a lot of things to do.
But it’s okay to leave for a little while, right?
"How about the timetable for the investigation in the afternoon? It's almost noon now, so..."
Binelle's expression stiffened for a moment, and then she showed a look of confusion, as if she had figured out something.
"Okay, it won't be long."
"Thank you very much."
Because I was really anxious to come out this time, I didn’t say anything about Teresa – or I was kicked out without even having a chance to speak.
So... since they are in a meeting and probably won't come here to care about my matter, it shouldn't be a big problem for me to make some extra money, right?
With this idea in mind, I made double the meal at noon and told Kyle Russ. At the same time, because I thought she would definitely eat the prepared meal prematurely, I secretly told Theresa about part of the dinner I had hidden.
Of course, this is a fallback.
After preparing all this, I followed Binelle on the road.
"Although it's a bit inappropriate, I can still ask you how you saw my strength?"
If he saw me fighting with the demons, I would use the excuse "I am actually a reclusive master sweeper" to fool him. If he saw the whole process of me coming out of the teleported magic door in the morning——
Just add a little extra income to the hotel.
"That is my [talent]."
...!
But if you have talent——
The magic power gathered unconsciously.
I stared into her eyes.
"Is he a brave man?"
The talent of being able to see through other people's strengths, or...
"It doesn't count. After all, I just have talent, but I don't need to be a hero."
Um?
Something's a little... wrong.
If I remember correctly, [Talent] can only be possessed by brave men. The main problem here is that [Talent] can only be possessed by those who have received the blessing of the Holy Light Prism.
Should I say I'm lucky or unlucky?
It always felt like I was on the verge of something terrible.
"I can see other people's strengths in a very strange way."
She smiled slightly, and her face turned pale for some reason.
"To me, the magic power or energy stored in the human body is knowable. I can still see it even if I perform special hidden spells."
"According to the corresponding attributes, I can also see different colors. Based on the different forms, I can compare their strengths."
I narrowed my eyes: "Is it really okay for you to just casually tell me your talent to this stranger who you've only known for less than a day?"
Or do I have any reason to believe?
"Because you are strong, and that... girl."
She turned even paler.
"Although I don't know it clearly, there is pale magic power on her body, and the form is something I have never seen before..."
Now that we know what the lower forms are like, the higher forms are also clear.
