Chapter Thirteen: Another Demon?
"Be more natural, more friendly... Don't be as fierce as you are, and don't be too reserved. After communicating, you will find that I am very easy-going..." "'Pa' fingers bounced the tail of the crossbow, and suddenly there was a heart-wrenching cry from it.
"It's very noisy!" As soon as the shout sounded, he slapped over. The tavern became quiet again. Others didn't even dare to breathe. Clossi nodded with satisfaction, holding a dagger in one hand and twisting an arrow crossbow in the other, and asked with a smile: "So are you willing to answer my question now?"
"You...what do you want to know?"
He gently tweaked his fingers with his arrow shaft twice. The man's body was trembling violently in pain, but he was desperate and dared not scream again.
With a sensible relief, Clossi grinned and patted the fierce face affectionately: "You didn't pay attention to listening to me... For your sake of making great progress, I'm too lazy to talk to you so much. Does your companion like to collect internal organs?"
“Yes…yes.”
"Are you collecting it for it?"
"No..." said the words. Suddenly, he slapped again. The man immediately changed his mouth because his nose was fixed, so he had to blink desperately: "Yes...yes,yes,yes."
"Be honest in life... What kind of world is this? You say such bad things so loudly. Do you know...Why, about collecting internal organs, I think...I think..."
Clossi thought for a long time in embarrassment, and then touched his hair with distress. "Forget it, just use his mouth to say that it is difficult to change his habits." Holding the crossbow again, Clossi's face returned to the bright sunshine of the previous one: "Can you please help me send me a message?"
"Please...please say."
"Let it wash your neck and wait."
"Then... I won't disturb your interest." He bowed to the stunned drinkers around him with a smile. Clossi greeted his hands and walked out. He stopped at the door and waved goodbye to the people in the room who were still scared, and disappeared into the night after a moment. Until this time, the entire tavern was still immersed in a terrifying atmosphere, and no one dared to move...
There were many mercenaries hired by the caravans, and they caused trouble. Clossi was not going to hide it. But he thought he would not know it tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, Maiya returned to the hotel where he stayed and turned around and ran to report it, and sold himself clean. Al immediately came to the ring.
Candles were already burning in the room, fruit wine, cheese and bread were placed on the table. Warm flames were growing in the fireplace, and the atmosphere was a little silent. Clossie leaned against the bed and quietly wiped his heavy sword with the hilt of the sword longer than his height. Al frowned and thought about something, while Maia was eating Clossie's supper with great pleasure.
Almost after Maiya finished Close's dinner, Al broke his silence: "Although you like to make trouble, you will never be decent." He rubbed his forehead and looked at Close's question: "Can you tell me the reason?"
"The smell of that thing is wrapped around those guys! The smell of rotting flesh and blood." With a faint answer, Clossi flipped his huge sword body and began to wipe the other side.
"Are you sure it's that thing?" Al closed his eyes and looked a little bad. He walked to the table and poured himself a glass of wine but didn't drink it.
Clossi didn't say anything. He answered Al's question. It was the stench of dust, blood and rotting flesh on the demon that had been hunting for humans for a long time. Since the last time the little ghost happened, he had an instinctive disgust for this smell and could not be eliminated. How could he forget it easily? Although the smell this time was a bit strange, he could be sure that there must be demons in that group of bandits.
Maiya was confused when he listened, and wiped his palms and frowned and asked, "What are you two fighting?"
"Have you heard of legends about demons?" Al glanced at the disciple.
"Refers to the green-skinned monster with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and feeds on human internal organs?" Maiya's reaction was obviously as simple as he had heard of it. It was not surprising to think about it. He had encountered such things for several years in the West Land.
"There is that kind of ghost thing among those bandits?"
Seeing that the teacher nodded with his ancestors and junior brothers, Mai Ya took a breath slowly and his expression became solemn...
With the arrogant and arrogant personality of the demon, they will definitely not be indifferent to being provoked by the food, so the rest will be waiting for them to deliver to their door.
The town of Igodon, separated from the caravan, was a mountain from the town. The lords here had already been defeated and the castle was occupied by a group of lawless bandits. The residents of the town lived a life of fear and darkness, but no one dared to resist and escape. Those who made the above two choices had been taken out of their internal organs and hung on the dead trees at the entrance of the town. The townspeople who had seen the thief leader were all alone and could do nothing but wait for death to come in fear.
The castle's huge banquet living room only lit a few candles, which were pitch black, dark and wet, just like a snake's nest!
A strong man sat at the main seat of the long table, enjoying the food in front of him leisurely. The dim light in the living room could only barely see his lower half of his face.
There was a man kneeling on the other side of the long table, with a thick bandage wrapped in his right hand and face. The moonlight shone on his face through the window. It was the scar man who had penetrated his palms and opened his nose in the tavern. After suffering such a big loss, he would naturally not give up. He ran back overnight with his injuries to ask for help.
"You said the other party was a quick little nobleman who followed the caravan from the town of Laika, the production of western noodles, to eat salt?" asked the man hidden in the dark.
"Yes, he is a cruel and ruthless blonde, and several followers are not easy to deal with." The scared man knelt on one knee, his head pressed down very low, and his body trembled slightly while speaking, obviously with great fear of his boss. "The people I brought with him are not their opponents at all, and the little bastard is a little strange, as if... it seems..."
"Huh?" The thief leader bit off the piece of meat with red liquid sticking to the fork. While chewing, he made a cold nasal sound. His subordinates stuttered and made him feel a little unhappy.
The scarred man kneeling on the ground trembled obviously and quickly explained: "That little ghost seems to be able to detect from us that you are eating...the habit of eating human internal organs."
Lyca Town came over, the keen blonde nobleman, who was instinctively sensitive, seemed to have lost his capable manpower there. Could it be that this little devil did it? A sneer flashed across the corner of the thief leader in the dark, and his slit tongue like a snake flew over his scarlet lips.
A piece of meat that was quite large and kept flowing downward was about to bite it, but the leader of the thief noticed his subordinates' expressions but stopped, "Oh, is there anything else?"
"That little devil who is ignorant of the world threatens to wash your neck and wait." The scar man mustered up the courage to answer.
"Ah hehe... wow hahaha..." The fierce, cruel, disdainful and crazy laughter echoed in the dark banquet hall. After a while, the thief leader's secret test sounded again: "They will set off tomorrow morning, right? Summon all their hands and go to the town to see them off."
"All of them? If even those adults go, Yigeton's side..."
With a 'bang', he bounced the fist-sized piece of meat on the fork and flew in front of Scar's face. Shui Zeze's meat rolled twice and stopped, and the dark red marks dragged out were particularly dazzling under the moonlight. Although it was not the first time he saw it, the scar man was still cold all over, especially like a ice cellar. The fist-sized piece of meat was a human heart.
In the darkness, a voice that was so cold that it was not as cruel as humans sounded again: "Go and call them together, anyway, there is not much food to eat in this town..."
As soon as the horizon was white, Clossi woke up the noisy shouts outside the window. He was used to serving his daughter and slowly put on his clothes. He climbed up the window and looked down. Many soldiers in armor were confronting the caravan's mercenary in front of the hotel. The sign should be the guard of the town lord. What do you mean? The smelly demon did not wait, but instead came a group of fully armed soldiers. It would be too wide to say that it was because of the conflict in the tavern last night, and the fight was about to be fucked!
The door of the 'Da Ta' knocked gently, and after receiving permission, Maiya, who was responsible for preventing the demons from attacking the sneak attack last night, pushed the door open and came in.
"What's going on?" Clossi asked downstairs.
"Because of the conflict in the tavern last night, the local lord planned to let the caravan hand us over." Maiya, who was biting the apple, looked not very good-looking. He had heard of the bandits entrenched in Igodon when he was a mercenary, but the other party's power was obviously much larger than he thought.
Unexpectedly, it was because of this. Clossi couldn't help but sneer and asked Maiya to call his subordinates downstairs and walk towards the hotel door.
The matter was caused by oneself, which was not easy to make the caravan difficult. After all, they had business to do, and they often had to fight here because they had to protect their future important collaborators and local lords. It was difficult to deal with this side. It was easy to borrow but difficult to repay. Besides, the few stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs in front of the door were not enough to warm up. If they really didn’t know how to advance and retreat, they would let Mai Ya go out and beat them up, and they would be considered as a warm-up before the demons and guards!
