Black Summoner
Episode 335: The City of the Devil
We made our way to the nearest city first, after a sweaty, but burning, poisonous desert. Whatever it is, gather information first. Serra's blood stains spread the word quite widely about the land of Nara (Avisland), but still it's not enough to unravel all of this vast underground world (though I'm not sure if it's really underground). Besides, when I came here, another problem surfaced altogether.
"- Different currencies?
"Yes. I'm sorry, but this was the first time I had seen a coin like that...... I see that's the money on the ground. Money varies from country to country in the land of Nara (Avisland), and this banknote is used in this part of the country controlled by our king. In too small a village, banknotes are not even used, and there are places where barter takes place."
Is the money different from country to country? If you ask me, the land of Narita (Avisland) is always in a state like it was during the Warring States, and what about using the currencies of other countries, especially for invasive countries! They have a trend like that. By the way, I can't redeem money, and trade is out-of-the-box. That's masculine. Of course, there are countries that use a common currency.
"Can you use this?
"Excuse me......"
but subordinate demon it seems better to refrain from showing the currency on earth in your country. I was distracted from my gaze as I sweated cold. Apparently, my savings, they can't be used here. What do you mean? I had bracketed the height that there would be no more trouble with the money, but when I came to the underground world, there would be no sentence. I can't wait to live like this.
... Can you make it through with your current hand?
Food, right? Poisonous cows such as Doc Mukka, which emerged in the infinite poisonous sand just now (Effil has been poisoned), and the meat of firedragons hunted scattered in the volcano, are so in it that it rots into the storage of croto. If there was a waterfront, Serra would catch the fish. There is no need to explain the vegetables, and the power of Dahak does not matter. Salt, sugar and other condiments are all bought by Effil, and my camp quarters are made up for by my rigid black fortress (Adaman Fortress). What do you mean? You can live normally, this. I'll have three days if I save just the reserves I have right now.
But, but. Self-sufficiency is our specialty, but it's hard not to use the store for boulders. I can't buy local products, no sightseeing, no shit. This needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
"Do you want me to make money selling items? It also organizes unnecessary items."
"Effil, I wonder if you could make more money opening a stall with your sister's cooking? Even if I set the price slightly higher, I think if I buy one, the rumors will call for rumors and I can sell them to avalanche. There's plenty of ingredient meat."
Effil and Stra have played the Abacus and presented their respective expected earnings. Too much money is enough to build a fortune. Stra said that he had just finished his evolution around crossing the desert, but now he has a lame look as if it was a lie that he was suffering. On the other hand, Alex and Boga are still dormant. Will smaller bodies end the evolution sooner?
"You're going to be able to save up the money you need either way. But this time..."
Place your hands gently on the shoulders of your subordinate demons.
"- Subordinate, demon, where is the closest city to here?
"Uh..."
"Where?
Serra starts putting her fist behind my back. I'm not intimidating you. I'm just gonna put some blood on my head.
"… the capital of the country to which our army belongs,"
"Right or right. It's a corner, so I'll give you a lift to the country. Now, show me around."
"Ha, ha"
Right. Let's just say this place is going to be a pain in the ass for my men, the devil's country. All the armies except him have been exterminated, but this race has the skill to cross infinite poisonous sand. And Daiyuan, who gave the order, is still unaware of this fact. If I let it go, I was forming an army and going for the transfer gate again, invading the ground unknowingly. Oh, my God. It wouldn't be funny, and I guess I'll just go stab the nail a little bit. So, let me ask you to show a little gratitude as well.
... Mm, thinking about it, was the Fire Dragon King who was building a nest in front of the Metastatic Gate (that place), was that what was deterring him? The demons that broke into the nest were incinerated, and they were baffled from the head again - well, no. All we have to do is prepare a substitute deterrent.
- - Kingdom of Doctoria
Neither is the City of the Devil, whose appearance is so different from that of the earth. Overall, the colours are dark, and the people who live in the city are so diverse that they are humanoid or inorganic, no matter what they look like. It's not surprising to me that I'm a summoner. Well, I chilled my liver a little when I was about to bump into a zombie at the corner.
On the way to this country, I also encountered several monsters. All of them were powerful before and after grade B and compared to the ground. But there are some weak guys all over the city. I thought any guy was at least as strong as B because the lower demon (Lesser Demon) is B, but he's so different. The exterior is vicious. They are also good when replaced by the terrestrial landscape (?) They say there is a strong distinction between being like a people and a monster wandering and attacking outside the city. Some people just look completely different, very confusing. If we meet outside, we have to be careful not to attack by mistake.
"But there are quite a few subtly human-like guys out there, but there's no such thing as a complete human form."
"The closer you are to people, the greater and nobler you are, and then the stronger you are. Unless you're a long-held royalty, I don't think we'll meet that way, do we?
Yeah, I was convinced because I experienced the tragedy earlier. The peripheral gaze was so dense. It's not because he's wearing a hood deep now, but until just now, he was drawing attention as if the world's biggest stars were walking around the city. Even in the eyes of the devil, Serra must be very beautifully shaped. Now we're each acting separately, and I'm just acting alone with Serra. If so, my gaze, perhaps containing jealousy, can be directed at me first.
"With that said, what do you want to talk about?
The obvious Serra doesn't care about her surroundings at all only at times like this. He said he was odd with a little gaze when we just met, but it's something that grows if humans get used to it.... No, the devil.
"Oh, okay! You're on a date on the pretext of talking!
You got it wrong, Serra hugged me in the arm. My chest, no, yeah. No problem as it is. Keep it up, please.
"That's a fascinating story, too. This one's serious."
Go into the alley, checking the map. This one's even dimmer.
"My men, the devil said so. He said he saw the ghost of the demon king Gustav. What do you think of Serra?
"Even if they say it's your father's ghost. - There's a chance she'll come back from hating her daughter's lover!
"Oh, no, I'm serious."
"I do!
………
Are you serious......?
"Well, leave half the joke alone, and honestly, I don't get it. 'Cause I never went outside when I was born. Um, someone from the demon Four Heavens King is surviving, disguised as your father or something?
"Uh, isn't there a line?"
Across a skeleton fainting in the corner of the wall.
"What does Kelvin think?
"I also think Gustav could be alive. Different way."
"How?"
Cross the devil with his upper body buried in the wall.
"Yeah, I was thinking about someone else, too, right? Especially not the Devil Four Heavens."
"Someone else? Uh, who are you talking about in what way?
"That 's-- Oh, you're here."
Destination. Behind this alley is the agate of a gang living in the city, a place to hit and put it on to hide from the public. It wouldn't be suitable for a date, but the gangs ravaging the city are sleeping amicably, so there's no problem. So, the tenant who created this situation is in front of me.
"Hey, hey. I got you. I wonder if it was hard to sneak eyes because the figure was so big in vain"
Ange puts down a big bag glue-wrapped with rope like a joke and does the trick of wiping sweat with her arms. But honestly, I don't feel like I've struggled at all. Behind that one working smile was the appearance of countless gangsters who collapsed.
"It's not a conversation about knocking down a gang in an alley."
"I gave that instruction, Kelvin. I don't think that's what you call dialogue either. Oh, just Mr. Serra on a date!? sloppy!"
"Different. So put that loose dagger in your sheath."
I felt the big bag react to the sound Ange emitted when she pulled out the dagger.
