“Are you really a demon?”
The Guild Master is not sure whether the in front of him is a human or a demon. It is absolutely a demon because it is impossible for a human to change his appearance, only a shapeshifter demon can do that. Not only that, his aura is the same as a normal human's, and his power is not equal to his rank. Only humans can conceal their own rank.
For language, it is possible for a high-leveled demon to communicate using human language. There is no solid explanation for this, but Shin once happened to ask some high-leveled demons about this, the answer is just that they naturally know about human language once they can think on their own.
Shin replied, “Sit down”.
Seeing the situation is calm enough, the two of them decide to sit.
Shin then continued.
“I come here only for business”.
“There is no business now, this place is the same as a bar, people come here only for a drink. Don't you see that the world is already in peace, you know? Aah… right, do you happen to want to be a dishwasher? Hahaha”.
Seeing there is no malice intent from Shin, the Guild Master opened to him.
Shin didn't see this coming. So he is thinking hard again about what to do. After doing brain-racking for a sec. He comes to the conclusion, that is to rob him here.
“Then, tell me, how much are the price for your head and all humans in this town?”
“Are you kidding, this not fun, you know?”
The Guild Master gulped. He knows he can escape if the fight is bound to happen, with the absence of Agni who protects this town, no one is stronger than himself right now.
Shin looked at him with keen eyes, he really looked down on him.
“We only possess around fifty thousand gold right now”.
The Guild Master doesn't dare lie. He offered him his own dimensional ring.
“Take this, all of them are here”.
A Dimensional ring is a ring crafted by the legendary hero back then. It is still a mystery how they are made, even Shin with his space magic can't do it. Due to their limited number, these ring is quite rare and can be sold at a high price. The currency of this world is using gold and silver. The conversion is one gold coin for one thousand silver. For this dimensional ring, the lowest price can be sold for one hundred thousand gold.
“I will take it, then, farewell”.
Shin left on his own. Going down, he sees that things are still the same. Before he left, he looks at the bulletin board where usually a commission is posted.
Sigh… It is really empty, huh?
Outside, now he's going towards the inn. He needs a place to eat and sleep. Shin realizes that Guild Master doesn't dare follow him, so now he changes his appearance again. Shin has many templates in stock. He only needs to think about all the people he knows in his own world, and nobody will know him. This time he goes with looks like a young male artist with short black hair.
For his attire, he's still using the same scholar outfit again. This outfit is normal in this world, and most people don't dare make a problem with the one who wears this. This is because, in this peaceful life, the scholar is the most respected person in this world. The scholar profession consists of teachers, doctors, and pharmacists.
This Corsalina Town is quite big. There are several inns that can be chosen near the guild house. Shin selects the quietest one.
“Amy House”.
This is the Inn's name, it has two floors. Shin went inside and meet the receptionist.
The receptionist is a middle-aged man with his wife.
The man introduces himself.
“Welcome to Amy House, sir. My name is Pitra, how can I help you?”
“Give your best room for three days”.
Shin decides to try staying for three days here. He doesn't hasty to leave the town.
Pitra replied,
“The best room will cost five gold coins per day, sir”.
“No problem. Here, take this.”
Shin handed over twenty gold coins.
“This is too much sir”
Pitra hesitated to accept it.
“Take it, help me buy this continent map and a town map later. I want to eat, send food to my room too. Consider it as a tip for the remaining”.
Having a map is not a bad thing. With the human territory expanded to demon territory, many new towns have appeared. He needs to update his memory.
“ Thank you, sir, follow me, I will show you our best room”
Pitra showed Shin the way to his room on the second floor.
“This is the best room here. The biggest room with a big bed, a private bathroom, and beautiful scenery. You can see the busy market and the luxurious city mayor's house. Do you like it, sir?”.
This is Pitra's proudest room. He, too, wishes can live in this room with his wife, but money comes first.
“Not bad. I like it. I will take a rest now”.
Shin goes inside.
“Glad to hear that. My wife will send you the food later. About the maps, I will go buy them now, sir”.
After Pitra has gone, Shin brings a chair and sits near the windows. While waiting for his food, he looked out the window to see people passing by. This area is quite packed. Besides the guild house and other inns, there is also a restaurant, bar, and street market where they sell anything. Some soldier is patrolling to keep them from making a problem.
Someone comes and knocks on the door.
“Esteemed guest, I am bringing the food”.
This is a woman's voice, Shin thinks this is maybe Pitra wife who comes bringing his food.
“Come”
The door is not locked. Shin allow her to enter and then asked her to just put it on the nearest table. Shin is ignoring her and just looked at the street.
Seeing Shin ignoring her, She asked him again.
“Is there anything else you need, sir?”
“No”
“I will take my leave then. Please call us if you need anything else later”.
Pitra's wife leave and closed the door.
Shin takes a look at the food. There is grilled meat, grilled fish, and grilled chicken. It is complete. Shin thinks, perhaps he is giving too much money to them. That's why Pitra's wife, gives all of the food worth that money. There is a drink too. One jar of water, and one jar of alcohol.
Shin takes some food and goes back to sit on a chair near the windows. He is eating while looking at the street again.
Something interesting happens. In front of the guild, there is some official soldier, one of them looks like their leader greeted by the Guild Master. The guild master even comes to greet him alone, looks like this official has a high rank.
The pedestrian is still walking while keeping a distance and chooses to mind their own business.
After that, they are entering the guild house. When this is happened, all of the guests inside the guild house run out. Looks like they are chased out from there.
Shin doesn't know what will they talk about, so he continues eating. Just a moment after that, come to another interesting event. This time, Shin actually feels a demon's aura.
In this town, like said before, there are many demon slaves. When ones become a demon slave, their demonic aura will be sealed, as long as their mark slave is still kept intact. Only a high-leveled Shapeshifter Demon Race can walk freely in this world.
Another Shapeshifter Demon Race!
Only the same race can feel their own race aura. This demon is looked like a normal teenage girl human who is at a loss, looking everywhere for something.
After a while, this demon found Shin and their eyes meet.
The demon then runs, coming to Shin. Now she is right below Shin's windows. Shin then asks her to come and meet in his room.
A moment later, the girl came with the Pitra's wife. Pitra's wife knock on the door and asked him about his guest.
“She is my guest. Come in”.
Shin said that, and the doors opened.
“You can leave”.
Shin signaled Pitra's wife to leave them alone. She then left and closed the door again.
“Are you the same as me?”
The teenager demon asked him confusedly. Looks like it is her first time meeting her own race.
Shin nodded and changed his face to look like her.
