Qiao Xiu hired a carriage and spent more than two hours on a slightly bumpy journey to reach the edge of the city of Nolan.

The slow efficiency of the carriage made Qiao Xiu already look forward to the complete popularization of the magic-powered vehicle at the World Exposition.

The carriage stopped not far from the entrance located on Squirrel Street.

"Master Magician, I only dared to send you here, maybe it was your curiosity that attracted you here, watch out for some strange things that live in this street."

"Weird?"

Qiao Xiu pushed open the door of the carriage and walked down, and the coachman who was dressed in ordinary clothes kindly reminded Qiao Xiu, but when Qiao Xiu wanted to continue to ask him the next question, he drove the carriage away.

Qiao Xiu is not unfamiliar with the word weird, when he used to play Dungeons & Dragons running group, creatures like weird were extremely dangerous creatures.

If Nolan's streets were openly inhabited by monsters with distorted tentacles, Qiao Xiu felt that the city was not far from destruction.

In fact, Squirrel Street was much cleaner than Qiao Xiu had imagined, and although there were more bits and pieces of garbage on the street, at least there were no dark red blood stains or fragments of corpses.

The people who walk here are basically in a hurry, and only some races that are completely different in size from humans will stand on the street and chat with other races.

Qiao Xiu walked into the squirrel street, felt that the atmosphere changed instantly, and the eyes that peeked at him instantly became more.

This gaze also made Ciri, who was beside Qiao Xiu, raise the staff in his hand like a spear.

The feeling reminded Ciri of the nights she had spent in the forest, where there were always a few malevolent creatures staring at her in the shadows of the jungle.

"The architecture of this place is going to drive anyone who studies architecture crazy."

Qiao Xiu looked at the buildings on this street, the biggest feature is that it is too chaotic, the architectural style of other parts of Nolan can at least be consistent, but here it is like a graffiti on the whim of architects of several countries, not several races.

But shortly after entering Squirrel Street, Joshua soon found a hotel called 'Black Pigeon'.

"We're going to stay here for one night?" Ciri glanced at the sky, which was approaching the afternoon hour, and if he delayed a little longer, it would definitely be dusk.

"You can sleep with me if you're scared." Qiao Xiu said.

“……”

Under Qiao Xiu's words, Ciri blushed and her lips opened a little, but she couldn't say anything, she could only watch Qiao Xiu walk into the hotel called Black Pigeon.

The interior of this inn is old and slightly crowded, but there is a strange floral smell throughout the hotel.

Qiao Xiu glanced around, and soon his eyes fell on the hotel reception, where there was a middle-aged man who looked like a human being was teaching a few children of the inhuman race the most basic magic.

These children even include the Half-Dragons and the Gray Cats, two races that are already extremely rare in this world.

"This is the inscription of vitality, this is the flame ......"

When Qiao Xiu stepped into it, the middle-aged man's voice stopped abruptly, and as soon as he looked up and saw Qiao Xiu, he quickly pushed the children of the inhuman race out of the front desk.

"Hurry upstairs, there's a guest coming..."

He urged the inhuman children to run up the stairs, and when they disappeared from the second floor, he turned to face Qiao Xiu.

"Two... Planning to borrow a night here? ”

He took out a pen, then opened an old notebook, and seemed to really plan to help Qiao Xiu check in.

Qiao Xiuzai carefully looked at this middle-aged man who looked like a human being, although his expression was a little dull, but Qiao Xiu's perception from the bloodline gave Qiao Xiu a completely different judgment.

"I didn't expect to meet fellow demons here."

Qiao Xiu's crimson pupils reflected the true posture of the middle-aged man in front of him, which was a wriggling phantom that did not have any human form at all.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to refute Qiao Xiu, and finally gave up his defense under Qiao Xiu's calm gaze.

"Don't worry, fraudster, I'm just coming to see this inn."

Qiao Xiu knew his identity as a demon, and he belonged to a relatively special race among the demons, a race called the Faceless Demon or the Fraudsters.

This race has a connection to the creation of the Chaos Demons, as the Fraudsters are a fluctuating gray sphere, but they are able to transform into any form they want.

The more capable cheaters can change their appearance, and the weaker ones can only become humans or ordinary demons, but the powerful beings in this race can successfully transform from small birds to powerful ogres.

It's a pity that although fraudsters can disguise themselves as humans, the appearance of the humans they become is fixed and cannot be changed through nurture, otherwise this race is definitely an excellent choice for actors.

Joshua may also be able to catch a glimpse of the smash hits on the planet, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn.

"Here... Not where you should be. ”

He continued to maintain a calm attitude after being recognized by Qiao Xiu, and said to Qiao Xiu in an indifferent tone.

"You seem to know me?"

Qiao Xiu wasn't sure how many demons were in this world who were outcasts and were not ruled by the Lord of the Demon Realm, but the fraudster in front of him was probably one of them.

“……”

Regarding Qiao Xiu's question, he chose not to talk about it, and the topic was interrupted instantaneously at this moment.

Qiao Xiu does not intend to continue to be embarrassed, although on the surface of Nolan Qiao Xiu is an inconspicuous ordinary person, but for those who follow "Beauty and the Devil" or Hearthstone, Qiao Xiu is also famous.

"Don't worry about who I am, I'm just an ordinary guest now."

Qiao Xiu took out a bag of gold coins from his suitcase and put it on the table, there were about hundreds of gold coins in it, which was already a huge income for such a down-and-out hotel.

"I'll need to rent all the rooms in your hotel for one to two months, and there will be a group of humans here for the next period of time, I don't know if you're willing to accept this deal."

The fraudster took a quick glance at the gold coins placed on the table... It seems that this demon is not the kind of saint who is not swayed by money.

It's the type that is very short of money.

That's easy to do.

"It's just a deposit, a tenths of a deposit."

Qiao Xiu didn't think that life in Nolan was easier than the Demon Realm, and the atmosphere of Squirrel Street meant that it was not a place for the wealthy.
