People of all identities adhere to unspoken rules, leading to mutual concealment and the formation of fortresses between information channels.
Even if one or two demons break through this fortress, it doesn't matter, as the demon race doesn't have an "internet" that can make everyone know the same information overnight.
Moreover, they will also actively become fortifiers of the fortress, because they can also benefit from the "fortress".
"Will these sellers still show up when it's time to collect payment?" An Yi asked calmly.
"This...can!"
Damas understood what Anyi meant.
Since we can't get them to come out, we'll just wait for them to come to us on their own initiative!
Then it added another reminder;
"Some will come early, some will come late, but they will all come within half a month to collect the money and take back the auctioned items that failed to sell."
If you want to find your target, you have to find a way to keep a close eye on it.
"it is good."
……
It was the third day after the Saintess Squad and the Fighting Hero Squad of eight people arrived at their target city.
Next to arrive at another target city were the Halberd Warrior Squad and the Dragon Warrior Squad.
Actually, their route was the shortest, but they wasted a lot of time on the road.
It wasn't that some random mishap occurred, nor was it that some brave hero was causing trouble on the road, but rather...
They spent time "studying" on the way.
For example, learning how to ride a carriage among demons, how to find inns, and trying all sorts of food to discover what's edible.
Even among the demons, the most important topic right now is undoubtedly; woof.
Eating, drinking, traveling, and living. (Qi)
To truly integrate into the demon world and better carry out assassination missions, one must learn to live among demons.
They were pioneers entering the Demon Realm; without An'i's guidance, they were essentially feeling their way across the river, with no one to teach them. Lu
But everything they learned could later become valuable experience to help other heroes.
Upon arriving in their target city, they didn't fixate on their choice of where to settle down, unlike the Fighting Heroes team.
Instead, relying on their experience along the way, they quickly found a cheap hotel.
The price of a hotel room is not related to the size of the room, but only to the materials used in the building and the level of decoration.
Therefore, you only need to find the most ordinary-looking, old-fashioned wooden hotel, and it will be very cheap.
These old wooden buildings usually don't have many residents. If a large demon were to trample the house, the owner would likely have to pay compensation.
The fact that the owner isn't demolishing and rebuilding suggests he's probably waiting for some unlucky soul to fall into his trap.
Small-sized demons can't be trampled, so most of the guests are small-sized demons.
Small size means weak strength, and among demons, they are considered "lower-level demons," so naturally, their price won't be too high.
If it's expensive, then these "demons" can just lie down in any alley, and who would want to stay here?
Earn what you can, even a little bit at a time. If you're too greedy, you won't even be able to earn small amounts.
"Boss, I'd like a large room."
Lana, the dragon warrior with red hair, stood at the front desk, placed a demon gold coin on the counter, and looked up at the three-meter-tall, burly demon behind the counter.
Level 5 Demon: [Headed Troll]
Its skin was grayish-blue, its eyes were pale, and four interlocking fangs protruded from its lips.
What is striking is that it has a horn-like structure on the top of its head, but it is directly encased in the skin, making it look like a protrusion from the top of its head.
Three meters is of medium size among demons; it's not the kind of size that can easily crush a house.
Lana stood in front of the counter, only her eyes visible, making her look like a child.
Then the group of brave warriors stood behind her, like a group of children standing in front of a counter.
The troll with the protruding head glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "You don't need that much if you're just staying one night."
He spoke slowly, then slowly reached under the counter to look for money.
"How long can a gold coin last?" Lana asked.
The troll with the protruding head looked at her vertical pupils and suddenly felt a little uneasy, but still answered calmly, "Five days."
“Then I’ll stay for five days,” Lana said. “Which room?”
"On the second floor, choose any room except the one at the far right."
"Once you've chosen, come down and tell me," said the troll with the protruding head.
Apart from that room, none of the other rooms in Ling's house were inhabited by demons.
If other demons come, it will tell them that they can choose any room except for the heroes and another room.
"Okay," Lana replied.
After Wu finished speaking, the eight heroes walked up the wide staircase.
The steps here are also very large; a human would have to lift their legs very high to step onto them.
However, this staircase was not designed for humans at all. Demons generally have high physical strength, so even small demons can climb up it quickly.
“One gold coin for five days isn’t cheap. Can an ordinary demon earn one gold coin in five days?” said Seitz, the Halberd Warrior, casually.
No one could answer him, since no one had ever worked for the demons.
They both found rooms at the end of the corridor, but they chose the one at the far left.
Lana went downstairs to tell the boss, and quickly came back up.
After putting down their backpacks in the room and untying their cloaks, spreading them out on the floor, everyone sat down to rest.
The inns of the demon race have no beds, no tables, no chairs, no wardrobes, and not even toilets; they are just large, empty rooms.
They were genuinely surprised when they first went to stay at the demon's inn.
These demons...
Is it okay to live like this?
Their question is valid; most demons can sleep directly on the ground.
Like most animals, they have dens, nests, or even live in burrows.
But that doesn’t mean they can’t sleep unless they’re in their nest.
Find a safe place, a place where you can lie down and rest anywhere.
The demons are similar; they only need a sanctuary here, and the indoor environment provides a sense of security for most of them.
As for beds, the demand isn't that high.
Because of the low demand, a corresponding culture did not develop, which directly led to almost all demon inns not placing anything there.
The lack of a toilet is due to the hotel cutting corners; slightly more upscale hotels would have one.
Of course, the heroes don't need it either; if they don't have it, they don't have it.
"Everyone must be tired, right? Let's eat something and rest for a while," Lana said.
"Lie down for a bit, lie down for a bit..."
"I'm hungry too."
The heroes either ate their meals or fell asleep quickly.
Only Rox was studying the map she had just bought, wondering where the black market might be.
She also wanted to find [Wu Xiang].
Qi's motivation wasn't just the effect of [Formless], but also her desire to understand how magical items were made!
It's important to know that the concept of "magical items" is almost nonexistent in the human world.
She searched through countless magic books and various ancient books, and she was already very lucky to even know about "elves".
She rarely saw the term "magical item" and it took her more than half a week to remember it.
Humans must have acquired these things, because even the most basic magical items are not that rare.
The book's content was too brief and lacked in-depth study, and it didn't use the term "magical item," so I couldn't recall it for a while.
Looking back now, I realize that the book also explained why it wasn't researched.
because……
Humans cannot understand this with their current level of magical understanding.
How can a ring unleash magic? Is it a living thing? Is it made of elements?
Only people with magical powers can use magic, but this thing isn't a "person with magical powers," is it?
Our ancestors must have spent time researching this, but in the end, nothing came of it.
Without research findings, there would be no way they could be compiled into books and passed down through generations.
Perhaps we can find these ancestors' notes somewhere, records of their research from back then, but...
None of that matters now!
The important thing is that Rox now has these magical items!
Let her investigate the things that our predecessors couldn't figure out!
Unlike her ancestors, she is the "Hero of Demons," recognized by the gods. Just possessing the "Demon Eyes" makes her countless times stronger than her human predecessors.
If given time, she might actually be able to achieve some results!
These days, Rox has been studying the "Purple Barrier Book" that Annie gave her.
This is a book!
