Still a little concerned.
So I finally secretly went to the Immortal Fortress to ask Vettel to pay attention.
Of course, the name used is "If there are demon hunters, there may be demons, so I'd better pay attention."
But I soon realized something was wrong.
Although the passenger flow of the hotel did not increase significantly, the town did not know why there were many more people.
They are all merchants or refugees from the war, but——
In any case, this small town cannot accommodate so many people.
What's more, there are strange people mixed in among these refugees.
It didn't look like much on the surface, but Kellas' keen sense of smell discovered these guys.
I was upstairs, looking at the refugees who were making fires for cooking and gathering wild fruits and vegetables around to satisfy their hunger.
Some of these people still had enough money to purchase a considerable amount of supplies from the villagers to maintain their lives, so the villagers actually made a small profit.
However, due to its geographical location, the village itself does not have any extra supplies, and the simple villagers will often tell them sincere answers.
Then, what came in exchange was a silent departure.
There was no conflict as expected, everyone just behaved like honest people and treated each other with respect.
Something's wrong, this isn't what I imagined.
The simple villagers are certainly the ones who have given goodwill, but even on earth, the goodwill they have given will never be repaid by goodwill.
Being too content and self-reliant is as if you already know that there are some people who cannot sit back and watch, or you have simply given up your original style for some reason.
Like, horror.
And some kind of iron law that needs to be followed.
My eyes broke away from the reassuring but suspicious atmosphere on the street and looked at Kellas who seemed to have discovered something.
"are you sure?"
"Hey, your distrust is a challenge to my identity! Although I am in human form now, I am a serious dog! And it is in human legend——"
Before Kellas was about to read out that series of inexplicable names that I didn’t even know where they came from, I covered her mouth.
"Okay, okay, I understand, but - what on earth is that smell?" I sighed, "Can you describe it a little bit? If it's that kind of magic potion, maybe I can narrow it down. "
Because I was afraid that there were elites at the same level as me or that I couldn't handle among these people, I didn't rush to use magic to explore these people.
"Ah, what does the magic potion taste like?" Kellas was stunned for a moment and said, "How can I know which potion is it if you don't tell me?"
"...Have you never met a demon hunter before?" I turned to look at Kyle Rath in surprise, "Normally speaking, you are considered to be the famous evil god of hell, demon hunter. Don't worry about it if you see it, and those guys don't seem to be able to tell the difference between the demons and the ones from hell, so maybe one day they won't have the guts to confront you and use magic potions, and you will finish it off. You will remember this taste.”
Kellas stared at me for a long time with her mouth slightly open.
At the end, I added without saying anything: "And you are not the kind of person who holds a grudge. Remember, according to your opinion, these people in the bureau are mentally ill, so we should stay away next time we meet."
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent after I finished speaking.
In this unbearable silence, the shocked Kellas said sadly: "Boss Lin! I was stunned for just a moment! You have arranged it for me now? No, why did you say these things?" As the protagonist, I have absolutely no idea!!”
"Ahem, cough, cough, it's just a thought..."
Kyle Russ rubbed his chin and looked at me and said: "I think Mr. Lin, you should give up your current side job and write a book called "As a Hotel Owner, My Second and Three Things with Cerberus". Maybe big sale."
"That's because the story is based on reality..."
I coughed awkwardly.
"But it's actually easier to tell, because in this village... those are the only people who can bring magic potions."
I simply gave up on observing what was wrong with those people. I turned around and sat on the stool and said with a smile: "Because the demon hunters are a group that has been given power, so the magic potions they carry will not be the same." of."
"This systematic organization makes them powerful, and now it will become a clue for us to distinguish them."
"As long as you can smell that these people are carrying multiple identical potions, then you can already prove something."
Kellas showed a thoughtful expression.
Then he suddenly became enlightened and said: "Wonderful!"
"As expected of Boss Lin, he can come up with such crooked methods. It is indeed our future home!"
"What is a crooked way!" I shouted, "This is the best solution based on the current situation."
"Haha, actually, crooked ways are the highest praise in Hell~" Kyle Rath smiled slightly, "After all, Hell is also a place where demons live, so it's normal for the customs to be wrong, right?"
There is definitely something wrong with this, right?
I'm slightly confused.
"I always feel like there's something wrong with what you said... But because I don't know if you're lying to me or if you've simply been lied to, I won't say anything for now."
"So why should you assume that I am a victim?"
"Obviously I also said that I was the one who was deceived!"
"A lie is no longer a lie if it is discovered...Ah, wait a minute." Kellas raised her hand and wanted to protest loudly, but with the slight twitching of her nose, her eyes shifted away from me. Come, look across the floor towards the entrance of the hotel.
"Oh, this is really...Boss Lin."
Kellas looked at me.
"The person with the same smell as before is here at the door of the hotel."
"...Ha, then there is nothing we can do." I sighed, "As expected, as the only hotel in the area, there is no way to escape from this."
In other words, as the only transit station that can contact people from all walks of life, at this time, it no longer just represents the role of accommodation.
"I'll go down and receive the 'guests', because there might be a fight, so I'd better be prepared if necessary."
"What? You don't usually want to use force to solve problems? What's more, there's no reason to start a fight, right?" Kellas said with some confusion.
"I just prepare myself for the worst."
