Chapter Twenty-Four: The Way to Leave
"Sure enough, it's the same as recorded in the miscellaneous notes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Gio, who had entered the town of Black Mist, stood in the square in the middle of the town and muttered.
"Just go over and find it?"
Geo looked at the caravan with some distress.
"What's wrong?"
"I've read about it here in the Miscellaneous Records of the Heritage. β
"Is there anything special?"
Fran asked.
"Well, but I don't know if I should tell them or not. β
"Is it important?"
"A way out of here. β
"Is that so. β
Hearing Geo's words, Fran looked down and thought for a moment.
"And, there's a good stuff here. β
Geo whispered.
"Good stuff?"
Hearing Geo's words, Fran's eyes lit up.
"But this is no ordinary place. β
Geo said helplessly.
"Isn't it a weird place?"
"I don't know how to say it, forget it, let's gather and I'll just say it. β
Hearing Geo's words, Fran nodded and called everyone over.
"I know you're going to think it's weird here, right? β
"Well, that's weird. β
"That's because this is not our world, to be precise, this is a gap between different dimensions. β
"What!"
Geo's words surprised everyone very little.
"In other words, we are no longer in the same world, but how are we going to go back? β
The crowd shouted in a panic.
"Quiet!"
Ghosn frowned and scolded, and everyone fell silent when they heard his words.
"Do you have a way to leave?"
"Well, it's a bit of a hassle, though. β
"Trouble?"
Ghosn was stunned.
"Well, because if you want to leave, you have to buy something, otherwise there is no way to get out of here. β
"Shopping?"
Hearing his words, everyone was a little surprised.
"The point is here, this person who sells things is not an ordinary person, oh no, it should be said that he is not a talent. β
Geo said with a frown.
"It's not a person? β
"Demons. β
"What!"
Hearing Geo's words, everyone was a little panicked.
"Do you mean to make a deal with the devil?"
Ghosn said with a frown.
"Well, this is the most dangerous party, I believe everyone knows what it means to trade with the demon, but there is no way for us to get out of this place without trading with him. β
"Demons?"
Linari bit her lip.
"To get out of here is something called a 'guiding light', and this thing is only available to him, but if you don't control yourself from being tempted by demons while trading, you'll stay here forever and become inhabitants like them. β
Hearing Geo's words, everyone shuddered.
"Damn, isn't there any other way?"
Ghosn smashed the stone pillar beside him with a single punch.
"As far as I know, no, at least I don't know. β
Geo shrugged.
"Does this mean that this is actually an area controlled by demons?"
Fran said with some panic.
In fact, everyone doesn't know about demons, and what they know is only limited to the records in the history books, and the demons that are recorded are all cunning and bloodthirsty, which makes everyone panic.
"How do you know?"
Ghosn stared at Gio intensely.
"Somebody left here alive, that's what he told me. β
Of course, Geo wouldn't be stupid enough to tell him that he had seen it in the inheritance, and as for whether he believed it or not, Geo didn't care.
β......β
"Can you tell me more about the deal with that demon?"
"Yes. β
Hearing Linari's words, Geo nodded.
"I won't talk nonsense, as for how to find him, just ask someone to know, I only talk about the content of the transaction. β
Hearing Geo's words, everyone nodded.
"He will keep tempting you to make deals with him, constantly coming up with all kinds of things that make you happy, it may be a beautiful woman, or it may be a combat skill that you can't refuse, in short, as long as it can make your heart move, he will tempt you. β
"That...... Is the thing real?"
One of the guards asked.
"It's true. β
Hearing Geo's answer, everyone began to talk again.
"A bunch of idiots, do you really think demonic things are so easy to take?"
Looking at the crowd's performance, Fran scoffed.
"Fran is right, you can get anything you want here, but if you want it, if you give the same, it's your soul. β
Hearing Geo's words, everyone looked at each other.
"But aren't we going to change the 'guiding lights'?"
Linari asked.
"That's right. β
"But if you say you need souls for exchange, how do we get out of here?"
Lenali bit her lip and said.
"That's true, yes, but since you can trade, then it's not just souls that can, and you should know more about this as a merchant. β
"Something that makes the other person feel excited, right?"
"So to speak. β
"But we didn't have anything to appeal to him, and we didn't know what he needed. β
Lenali said helplessly.
"So, that's where the trouble comes in. β
Hearing Geo's words, everyone's hearts lifted.
"Because we don't have anything that doesn't appeal to him, we have to find it ourselves. β
Geo said helplessly.
"But we don't even know what demons like. β
"What he likes is a living thing. β
"Creatures?"
"Well, it's a creature that's hard to find, as long as it's seen in the forest outside at night, it glows brightly, looks a bit like a cat, and it's hard to catch. β
Geo's words made everyone ponder, obviously they had to do this to get out of here, but could they really find it so easily?
Despite everyone's sad faces, Ghosn drove everyone back to rest and prepare for the evening's action.
Unbeknownst to everyone, however, the demon had been watching them.
"Hehe~~ What a cute little guy, he even knows what Zes guy likes. β
On the tower behind Geo, a seductive-looking woman looked at Geo's figure and licked her lips, her tail behind her indicating that she was not human.
"It tastes so good. β
She took a deep breath.
"Huh?"
As if sensing something, Geo looked back, but didn't notice it.
"Delusion?"
Geo muttered, didn't think much of it, and turned to follow the group.
"What a sensitive little fellow, I seem to like you more and more. β
The woman looked at Geo's back and said excitedly.
And Geo didn't know that he was being targeted.
