"I think it's a bit difficult." Nolan Lusi said after raising her head and thinking for a while, "Although I can indeed smell the scent of souls, based on Grace's description, I don't think there are mass graves around that place, but a tree There are people buried under the trees. This must be a key care area of Hell. Although you can’t see it, I estimate that there must be more than a dozen salesmen from Hell running there diligently every day..."
It’s not like I’m sweating or not sweating. In the end, I can only ask stupidly: “You’re in hell and it’s all about performance.”
"That's not true!" Kellas put his hands on his hips and shook his head violently, the tip of his nose almost pointing to the sky. "I'm telling you, if they win more souls, they will definitely get promotions and salary increases. We are in hell. The right and wrong are very clear - the main reason is that corruption is actually of no use, so the last time you saw the soul of the ancient hero was not because our salesmen didn't take care of it, it must have been explained there... "
"Is this something to be proud of? By giving this example, it doesn't mean that your salesmen are actually incompetent." I scratched my cheek, trying to hide my embarrassment.
Kellas was stunned for a moment, then took a breath and said, "Hey, I'll go, it seems like this!"
I think Kyle Rath being the face of hell is really a pain in the ass.
"Forget it, forget it, as long as you understand the meaning properly." Kyle Russ finally waved his hand and said, "Let's see and talk about it then. It is estimated that it is difficult to have any remaining souls. If it doesn't work, I will find two Ask a more familiar salesperson."
I was a little curious and asked: "Didn't you sneak out? Aren't you afraid that the salesman will sue you?"
Hearing me ask this question, Kellas immediately bared his teeth and rubbed his hands and said grimly: "I wonder who dares. I was really taken back because they complained. From now on, they will have to pay me when they come in and out." Approve official documents and go through the formalities honestly."
Hiss - this trick is so vicious! !
"······I see."
"Have you two finished discussing it?" Grace looked at us with some confusion, "Why does it take so long? Is there any good way?"
Kyle Russ waved his hand towards Grace happily and said, "No! Boss Lin told me not to eat anything on the street when I get there. It may be unclean or poisonous!"
Grace pressed her temples and said helplessly: "Then there's no need to say it in a corner, really."
Kellas must have lied just now, right?
When did she have such a thing as emotional intelligence? !
"Hey, hey, no problem!" Kellas waved his hand and walked over.
At that moment, I really felt that Kellas's soul had been replaced, maybe because Cebolos had logged in briefly just now...
Ah, having said that, according to what Cebolos said, Cerberus should have three heads, which means there is a possibility that another soul was squeezed out by Kellas after it came online?
While I was thinking about some things that I didn't have, they had already tentatively discussed some things.
Like disguising your identity or something.
That's right...even in a place like this, disguise is useful.
Of course, what we want to do is not to pretend to be a fugitive, but a businessman.
A place with no regard is just not accepting the "emperor's lackeys" on the surface, but a place without population flow will eventually die out, and the most important fixed floating population is "merchants".
Of course... he is not a serious businessman. To put it bluntly, it is more similar to Bruce's identity before. However, Bruce is a private businessman who does business with the demons, and these businessmen who come to the area have an identity overtly and covertly. .
"Is that okay?"
Even though Grace assured me, I still have some concerns.
Grace smiled and said, "There's no need to worry, because basically all the businessmen who go to that place are dressed to cover their bodies."
In other words, you don’t want to reveal your true face?
"There are still a lot of imperial informants there. If those merchants who are engaged in shady business don't cover up their appearance and aura, they will probably be pushed to the ground by the patrolling inspector when they leave the town and come to the city. ." Grace spread her hands and said helplessly.
Then there is no need to worry, I have done that kind of dress a long time ago.
To put it simply, use a bandage to wrap all the exposed body parts, and make it slightly thicker where the body shape can be exposed to prevent anyone from doubting the person's identity through the body shape. Then the next step is the regular combination of a mask and a hat. .
Moreover, the carriage bought in the last mission has also been used. Although it was quickly returned to the Inspectorate, it can be used in this mission.
Afterwards, according to Grace, we secretly purchased some tobacco and grain that were in short supply in the Sanguang area in the city, and we slowly set out on the road in the early morning of the next day.
Originally, Nolan Lusi proposed to use space magic, but considering that unnecessary teleportation might arouse vigilance, he finally decided to go on the road normally. It is also worth mentioning that this time, because the estimated arrival time is relatively long, So after much thought, I decided to grab some bacon that Nolan Lesi had been thinking about for a long time, as a source of protein supplement on the road.
All in all, it took a whole day and we arrived at this small town near evening.
——Quite unexpected, because if you ignore the corpse hanging at the entrance of the village, this town looks unexpectedly harmonious.
Pedestrians walked slowly on the street, vendors were selling on the street, and behind them, there was an old man sitting on a horse with squinted eyes, seemingly watching the weather.
There was a peaceful atmosphere, and it was impossible to tell that there were quite vicious people living in this small town. If Grace hadn't been beside me like a treasure trove and told me who those people were, I guess they were all kind old men and women. .
"Did you see that horse-faced old man basking in the sun in the shadow under the wall? He was a notorious thief in the empire. Later, he sneaked into the house of the Deputy Director of the Inspectorate. As a result, he was wanted throughout the country. The Deputy The director threatened that if any inspector could catch him, he would be killed three times in a row."
"No, how can you bask in the sun in the shadow?"
Grace patted me and teased: "Don't you understand this? This is my habit. As a shadow thief, you have to stay in the shadows even if you are basking in the sun. This is professionalism."
This is pstd, right...
"Hey, there's more, did any old woman next to you see it? She was also the one who broke the hind legs back then. When she was young, she killed many dignitaries with her long legs and flexing skills. She was offered a reward of several million to kill her. Tsk Tsk tsk, no wonder she actually came here, look at the two of them as an old married couple, I think they might have had an affair back then, believe it or not..."
"I don't want to know anything." I stared at the road ahead with dead eyes. I really didn't want to talk to Grace who was too gossipy.
"There are indeed a lot of powerful people here, and it seems to have the smell of demons." Nolan Lesi walked on the road quite generously, as if she was not worried about what would happen at all.
Kellas also looked around with the same interest, muttering: "Hotel bacon, hotel bacon-"
It’s also good to have clear goals.
After the carriage clattered along the road for a while, I finally found a hotel that looked quite normal.
The boss was a man who looked white, fat, and wealthy, but he didn't seem to be a wanted criminal, because Grace hesitated for a long time and didn't expect any wanted criminal to look like this.
After putting down all my luggage, I originally planned to go directly to the street to walk around and get familiar with the situation, but I was pulled by Nolan Lusi in the room.
She opened my door quite directly - luckily I wasn't changing clothes, otherwise...
Otherwise there wouldn't be anything.
Nolan Lusi opened up the mattress with an expressionless face, used fire to stir up the magic circle that had been engraved on it, then turned around and walked towards the cabinet, wrapping the concussive magic power in his hand, destroying the magic circle hidden in the air. An unknown person quickly charged the magic circle, and then caused a magic shock in the toilet...
Finally she walked out expressionlessly.
"Are all of you hotel owners like this?"
"······"
Maybe, there will be a little bit?
Forget it, I'm still too young. I can't compare to these guys when it comes to black shops. And how can I put it this way? I feel like I've learned something in such a short time.
"There are some in other places, and we have to have them too. When you go back, I will make you a more advanced sleep monitoring array." She patted me on the shoulder quite seriously and said, "What do you mean by your hotel?" It’s also the 0.5th line of defense of Demon King’s Castle, so I don’t think we should lose our place.”
I always feel that there is something subtly deviated in Nolan Lusi's cognition.
"W-Where are the other rooms?"
"Everything is done." Nolan Lusi said lightly.
"——Let's go down and eat for now." I sighed and said, covering my head.
"Can you identify poison?"
Nolan Lusi obviously thought that the boss might have prescribed sweating pills or something, so he raised such a question unceremoniously.
I nodded and said, "It'll be simpler."
Rather, it was because he had to study how to poison the brave, so the toxicology he had learned in the Holy See had to be put to use.
Anyway, after going downstairs with a few other people, Kyle Russ was quite disappointed to find that the menu here was definitely boring.
Seeing Kyle's hand hovering over the menu for a long time without falling, I couldn't help but sigh.
Sometimes it's not a good thing to have a bad taste.
After that, after I forced myself to order some normal-looking beef soup and bread, Kyle Lath lay back on the chair with relief and said as if she was beyond love; "Why...why on earth..." ···”
Regardless of what strange thing the depressed Kellas was worrying about, after the dishes were served, we looked at each other in shock and no one dared to say anything.
Finally, I patted the table and called the boss.
The fair and fat man from before ran over in a hurry, rubbed his hands and asked flatteringly, "Does the guest have any requirements?"
"You guys... forget it, let me put it bluntly. If you put this sweat medicine or something in the future, don't sprinkle it on like salt. Not only will it be very obvious, but also if If the medicine cannot be removed, it will be very difficult.”
Small beads of sweat instantly appeared on the boss's forehead. He rubbed his hands more frequently and said: "Customer, guest, you must have read it wrong. We are a serious store and this will not happen." ·····”
"Who is your boss?" I looked over his shoulder and towards the back door toward the counter. There was a faint fluctuation of magic power in that place.
"I-I'm the boss!"
"Your acting skills are actually not very good. You are too nervous. How about being a little more confident?" I sighed, patted his shoulder and said.
Just when the fat man in front of him was about to speak, the back door towards the counter opened at this moment.
A young woman wearing a red dress and a pipe in her hand walked out of the house gracefully.
Kyle Russ was stunned for a moment, then took a breath of air and said, "...Wow!"
"Can you please stop giving me 'wow'..."
In this situation, which was obviously a meeting with the big boss, the momentum of our team fell instantly when Kyle Russ, a silly dog, appeared.
"Don't make it difficult for my husband. I do all these things in the kitchen. If you have any advice, just tell me."
There is a mole under her eyes, so every move she makes is filled with a mysterious and charming charm. I really don't know how this boss got the good fortune to marry such a woman.
But this is not something I can take care of.
I nodded slightly, trying to pretend to be a master, but with Kyle's voice just now, I felt like even a dragon would be here today.
"My request is also very simple. During the few days we stay here, we can provide normal drinks." I tried to suppress my tone. "Speaking of which, we can be regarded as half of the same party, so next Don’t do what you are doing.”
"oh?"
The woman's tone rose slightly.
"Come with me... But now that you have seen the small mechanisms of our subordinates, it also proves that other small methods are mostly useless and will only arouse disgust, so -"
"Please enjoy your stay." The fat boss wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed slightly.
