47. The binding is successful
Just after Fisher's simple question, the atmosphere in the small utility room suddenly became awkward.
The door of the basement behind him was also opened at this time, and out of it came out of old Jack with two bags of garbage, only to see him casually glance at the situation in the utility room, and saw that after Elliog woke up, his face immediately became unkind.
"You've finally woken up, I'm the owner of this tavern, you haven't paid yet, after paying, you can find a random place to sleep, I don't take in drunken insects here, especially a subhuman drunken worm."
Fisher turned his head to look at the demon named Elliog again, and thought that she would at least blush, or explain, but this guy pinched his chin with his hand and thought for a second, and then lay on the ground as if giving up, looking at the ceiling with a nonchalant expression, and said,
"Ah, it's annoying... I'm sorry, I've all used up the previous entanglement, and I really don't have any money, so I'll leave it to you, and I just don't have to work, which is great. β
"You!"
Even Old Jack was speechless by the extremely negative attitude of the demon species in front of him, and as soon as he was about to speak, Fisher pulled several Nario out of his bag and helped the sub-species pay for the previous drink.
"Old Jack, I'll help her pay for the drink, I happen to be very interested in her."
Old Jack glanced at Fisher, and then at the man who was lying motionless on the ground, and did not react to Fisher's payment, only looked at the sub-man on the ceiling, and reluctantly took the money.
Then he pointed to the very peculiar horns and tail of the demon on the ground, and said,
"This guy looks so weird, it's okay in the streets of Snakehead, you have to be careful when you take it to other places in St. Nari."
"I see."
"Well, then I'll go get busy first, it's really a headache for me to take care of this guy for the past two days.."
Old Jack rubbed his graying hair as he carried two bags of garbage out of the utility room. So, in the steamy room of wine and saltpeter, only Fisher and Elliog on the ground were left.
Turning her head, she saw the lying demon looking at the serious human in front of her with great interest, she supported her head with her hands, and the tail of the flame was also wrapped around her solid lower abdomen, but the flame seemed to be illusory, and it did not mean to burn her skin at all.
"Hey, you paid for my drink, so what do you want from me... If you look closely, you are a human with a strong body, are you a hybrid of the human race and other races? Let me guess, angel species? It doesn't look like it. Dragons? Well, this one kind of feels a little bit like that. But the magic circuits in your body are a bit thicker than those of other humans, how do you do that? β
Elliog's body lay motionless, her nimble tail poking her fingers at Fisher's body, the illusory flame at the end of her body not warm at all, but swaying with the movement of her tail.
Fisher didn't answer, but reached out and grabbed her strange tail, which was full of elasticity, without hair on it, but somewhat similar to the feel of smooth rubber, with obvious entities in it, and a feeling of decompression to the touch.
The demon who was pinched by the tail was not annoyed, and even his body was motionless, and Fisher found out that this guy was too lazy to move, as if he wanted to lie down like this until he was old.
Fisher reacted to a noun that appeared in her words at this moment, she had just said a name called "Angel Species", which sounded like a subhuman race, but Fisher had never heard of it before.
"What is the angelic species, a subhuman species?"
So, he looked at Elliog in front of him with some confusion. She pursed her lips, but her tail could not move, so she raised a finger and gestured, and she did not know whether it was a chicken or a man with wings, and she said,
"Ah, it's probably the birdman with wings and a halo on his head, those guys hate you humans the most, I don't know where they hid after the war, who called me sleeping when I was fighting."
Elliog revealed many secrets with sleepy eyes, and then asked Fisher,
"Tell me, you paid for me, what do you want from me? If I don't say anything, I will go to sleep, so sleepy. β
She barely opened her mouth, and the yawn was long, and through her little tongue, she could see the inside of her lava-like body, and her stomach was like a layer of tumbling magma, constantly spitting out the pungent smell of saltpeter.
β... I'm a scholar working on subethnicity and I'm interested in you. I asked for the money for the drink just now, and in return, can I study you? β
For the creature in front of him, Fisher guessed that the demon species might be an immortal race.
Some subhuman races have a shorter average lifespan than humans, while others grow much, much longer. So it is possible that what is in front of Fisher at this moment is a demon who has lived for a long time, so Fisher is still more polite in terms of wording.
He did want to know more about this subhuman, and why he suddenly appeared in Saint Nari.
According to her, she seems to be hunting down a sinner?
Fisher is not yet able to tell whether it is true or not.
"Oh? Interested in me? Elliog's drowsiness slowly faded again, and she looked at the human in front of her with considerable interest, and said, "This kind of human is really rare, what do you want to study?" β
"Probably just measure your body, and if you can, want to know something about the demon species."
"Ah, my body can be measured. But don't ask me about our dynasty, I don't know anything... Oh, by the way, I'm out of money, and if you give me a little more, I can also instruct you on how to fight.
Dynasty?
Fisher caught another unfamiliar word.
As soon as she said this, she sat up with complete interest, she rubbed her chin, looked at Fisher's body and said,
"Your body is like an unpolished jade, strong but lacking the skills to control it, you still have a long way to go to become a warrior, but the first step is to need a good teacher... For example, me. β
This time it was Fisher's turn to be speechless, with the tone of the demon in front of him, he could always think of the Nari scam that was popular at the end of every year, how could he feel that the demon in front of him was the same kind of person as those fraudsters?
At the mention of money, Fisher's tone became more cautious, and he asked,
"So, how much money do you need?"
"100,000 of your currency!"
She held up ten fingers with a heroic look, as if the 100,000 Nario was just a drizzle to her.
"Then I'll just study you."
"Hey, it's okay to negotiate prices, you guys don't know how to do business."
Elliog pursed his lips, ten fingers turned into seven, and then looked at Fisher, looking tentative.
He looked at Elliog, still motionless.
The fingers became five again, and Elliog looked at him again.
He still didn't move.
"Hey, don't go too far, my teachings are very precious, my people have no way to beg me, don't you know how to cherish it."
Fisher looked at her, and suddenly felt that this guy's people couldn't find her because she was sleeping all the time, not really had no way, and even if they found her, they couldn't wake her up at all, and Fisher still didn't know how he woke her up.
"Thirty thousand, we'll make a deal."
Fisher shook his head and said a number, leaving Elliog speechless. She blinked, sighed,
"A broad mind is a necessary quality for a warrior, it seems that you still have a lot to practice, but it's okay, 30,000 is 30,000."
Although she didn't expect to get any additional combat skills from this demon species, because it was not realistic to let her be studied by herself just for the price of a drink, and then even if she didn't say anything about Fisher, she would offer to give her something else as a condition, and since she mentioned it herself, then Fisher followed her words.
But I was really thinking about whether to learn to fight with the martial artists of Saint Nari before, I used to rely on magic, and after gaining the physical fitness of the dragon race, I felt that I could only punch and beat people, except for becoming a little healthier, it seems that I didn't have the effect that this body should have at all.
Fisher ignored her words, but continued,
"So that's it? Thirty thousand nario, and I'll give it to you in a few days when my salary comes down. β
"Whew, I'm okay with that, so let's go now? First of all, I'm all up to you for my food and drink during this time, human. β
β....β
How can you feel like you've been scammed?
She yawned again, and it was only after the deal was closed that she slowly got to her feet. It was then that Fisher realized that the subhuman race was about as tall as herself, and she straightened her cloak, completely concealing her appearance under it.
The study would not be long, and Fisher planned to take her to his research room near the University of St. Nari, which was very empty and devoid of other idle people, and then let her go when the time was over.
Once decided, Fisher was ready to take the demon sub-species out of here.
"Old Jack, let's take our leave, and say hello to Karma and the others for me."
"Well, be careful when you go out."
When she walked to the door of Old Jack's tavern, she pulled Fisher's sleeve again, and asked if she could take some wine with her, but Fisher was speechless and did not speak, but Old Jack stuffed two bottles of wine into her arms with a black face, saying that it was a gift, and he couldn't wait to get rid of this pesky demon.
Elliog took two bottles of rum in his arms and walked with Fisher into the quiet streets of Snakehead. In the distance, the sound of the underground river could be heard, and Fisher glanced at her and asked,
"How did you get to St. Nari?"
Her cloak looked rather heavy, completely obscuring her inhuman form, and now she looked as mysterious as an early explorer, and her slender tail with arrows didn't know where she had hidden herself.
"I came from the underground river in front of me, and the boat there was rocking for a long time, and I slept several times before I got here, and I thought about drinking something, but it turned out that the money on my body was stolen while I was sleeping."
She said that the money had been stolen, but she didn't seem to care at all, and she couldn't hear any anger or irritation in it, but Fisher had a hint of anticipation when she heard her say "sleep".
Followed by this subhuman from nowhere, Fisher did not dare to take the tram anymore, so he called a carriage on the side of the road and got into the back seat of the carriage with her, and the destination was on the outskirts of St. Nari University.
As soon as she got into the car, she quietly leaned on the soft seat and did not move, holding the two bottles of wine from Old Jack in her hands like a baby, as if she had entered a state of lunch break.
Fisher glanced at her heavy cloak, and before she could finish her manual with her mother, the illusory words in front of her began to float slowly.
[Please select a research individual, the number of available individuals is 0/1]
γElliog, Duke Demonγ
Yes, Fisher wanted to bind and study the demon species that appeared in front of him, and get some extra benefits from her.
Because the centaur girl was too busy, she couldn't get the results of the research. And the demon race Fisher is also meeting it for the first time, and he really wants to know about this subhuman race...
His gaze moved slightly, and without hesitation, he touched the bound words with his consciousness, and the moment he touched it, the sharp pain that spread from the completion manual in his chest spread again. Fisher closed his eyes tightly and said nothing, leaning back on the chaise longue behind him like the demon on his lunch break.
As the carriage shook, a fine layer of cold sweat gradually broke out on Fisher's forehead, until he slowly opened his eyes, the demon in front of him was still resting, and the carriage was still moving forward.
He was bound successfully.
