052 It's so simple
In an instant, a slender soul blood crystal was successfully refined.
Wade casually threw the freshly baked soul blood crystal to the snake collector, and said casually, "Enough? β
The snake man caught the thing, glanced at Wade coldly, checked the soul blood crystal, and then pulled out a token from the scales.
After throwing it to Wade, he didn't look at it, and turned his head to the other demon.
Wade, who was ignored, was not angry, after all, this is an Alcatraz city, and it is completely impossible to make demons and humans so polite.
There is no flesh and blood blur at the gate of Castlevania, even if many demons give face to Castlevania.
Glancing at the somewhat chaotic queue, Wade threw the token into the air, summoning the blood flame and burning it directly.
On the token, it was stained with the slime secreted by the snake man demon, which was somewhat disgusting, so it was better to clean it up.
Then, with the token in hand, Wade walked towards the city.
-------
[Compared to human cities, Castlevania is simply a bit exaggerated......]
Looking at the Yellowstone pavement hundreds of meters wide in front of him, Wade couldn't help but complain.
Probably because the demons are of different sizes, the small ones are outrageous, and the big ones are also outrageous, so such an outrageous road surface was built.
On the opposite side of the road are equally outrageous buildings of all kinds.
These buildings look tall and wide, without much decoration on the surface, and they are very rough and bulky.
But whoever sees these buildings will probably feel breathless at the first sight.
Because it's too big!! So big that Wade seemed to have entered the land of giants.
"It's a bit outrageous......
Words similar to Wade's complaining came from behind.
Although Wade couldn't understand the other party's language at all, the demon's subtle intuition allowed him to quickly understand the meaning.
Wade looked back and saw that it was the same humanoids who were lining up to enter the city in front of Castlevania.
It should be a male humanoid who speaks, but judging from his appearance, he really can't tell at all, this is a male.
Too delicate, too slender, nearly two meters five or six tall, with an indescribable elegance.
Wade had no interest in these kinds of people.
Not only was he not interested, but the demons around him who worked tirelessly on their souls also didn't show much interest.
These humanoids look weak, but the shiny ornaments on their bodies give Wade an indescribable sense of danger.
Not fatal, but troublesome.
Most demons will be extremely wary of outsiders in the Demon Abyss.
The reason is very simple, as long as the existence can enter the demon abyss, whether it is a human or other life, there will be a few hands to press the bottom of the box.
If you don't have any ability at all, how dare you go deep into the abyss? That's not how you look for death.
It's a very easy answer.
The people obviously understand this as well, so although they are vigilant on the surface, they behave casually and relaxedly.
But when these humanoids noticed that the demons around them were watching them, their hands still involuntarily grasped the weapons at their waists, ready for battle.
If you want to survive in the Demon Abyss, you can't show a little weakness, and if you make a mistake, you will be split and devoured by the demons around you.
Therefore, it is the right choice to show the right amount of strength.
Although there were quite a few demons who were curious about these humans, none of them did it in the end.
Although demons are prone to murderous intent, they often ignore it and have to kill you to the death.
But the devil is not brainless after all, and before he goes up, he will more or less consider the gains and losses after the action.
If you can get enough benefits, even if you do it in Castlevania, you will be fined a few soul blood crystals at most.
If the benefits are not enough, even the demons will not act easily.
After all, if you don't get enough benefits, and the blood crystals on your body are not enough to pay the fine, you will really be carried by the guards in Castlevania and thrown into the mine to mine.
The devil knows if it would be possible to get out alive after being thrown into the mine.
Having no idea about humanoids, Wade glanced at them a few times before turning away.
Look at the demon that bears a striking resemblance to a human...... Gradually fading away, the humanoid leader couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It is common sense that the more human-like demons are, or the more strange-looking demons are, the more dangerous they are.
Walking down the street in a very relaxed mood, the corners of Wade's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
Maybe it's because his appearance at this time is too special, with wings and horns converged, except for his height and tail, Wade is no different from a human.
Probably between the human-looking demons are not easy to provoke, so the demons in the city often only look at Wade vigilantly, and will not take the initiative to provoke.
The inside of Castlevania is very lively, and there is even a sense of bustle.
There are all kinds of shops on the left and right, selling fruits, potions, armor, weapons, and so on.
If you can ignore the demons of most of the red fruits, ignore the sudden occurrence of a life-or-death attack on the street, ignore the crackling sound from a dark street corner, and the red-faced moans...... Castlevania really gave Wade a subtle sense of peace.
Wade was both surprised and felt very reasonable.
The founder of Castlevania must have set all kinds of rules for Castlevania.
As long as you enter Castlevania, you naturally have to follow the rules.
That's not to say how kind the owners of Castlevania are...... The word kindness is a luxury in the Demon Abyss, and it is completely unsuitable for the Demon Abyss.
Let the demons who enter Castlevania obey the rules, to put it bluntly, for profit!
Suppose that if Castlevania is no different from the outside world and as chaotic as the Demon Abyss, then why would the demons even enter Castlevania?
If there are no demons entering Castlevania, there will naturally not be enough benefits.
There is no buying a house, there is no tax, there is no commission, and there is not even a fee to enter the city.
If you want to get profits, you must first have order, even if this order is still very chaotic.
Just as Wade was thinking, two demons rushed out of a tavern and almost hit him, causing him to instinctively slap him in the backhand.
Although Wade is a mid-rank demon, his attack power is comparable to that of a high-rank demon.
Even in Castlevania, where many demons are mixed, the high-ranking demons are not cannon fodder, and they can be middle-level cadres in Castlevania.
So the two-headed demon was pulled away without accident.
Hit a stone wall directly, sink into it, and slowly slide down after a while.
With Wade's violent blow, the surroundings suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Only a green-skinned creature, carrying a large leather bag, jumped up and down to Wade, "Hello lord, may you become a lord in the end." He said in a very flattering tone.
Wade looked down and saw that the green-skinned demon was extremely short, at most one meter three, with pointed ears, three handfuls of gray hair on the top of his head, a bulging and round belly, and an extra-long mouse tail almost three or four meters long on the back of his buttocks.
Demon Goblins? Can this? Ugly! Wade couldn't help frowning slightly, "Huh? β
Hearing Wade's voice, the demonized goblin couldn't help but shudder, and his face turned pale.
But it still endured and endured, neither rolling its eyes and fainting, nor turning around and screaming and running away...... Of the two choices, no matter which one it makes, I'm afraid Wade will turn it to dust.
A strong desire for it to respond correctly.
He smiled embarrassedly at first, then stretched out his hand to the two-headed demon who was drawn away by Wade, and asked cautiously, "My lord, do you still want your things?" β
Wade choked on the demonized goblin's somewhat harsh smile before he looked in the direction the goblin was pointing.
After a moment of silence, Wade shook his head, "I'm not interested. β
With his words, the demonized goblin showed a hint of excitement, but he forced himself to hold back, "Your Excellency, please wait a moment. β
Jumping up and running, he ran towards the two demons who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
After a few moments, the two demons were wiped clean by the demonized goblin and stuffed into a leather bag.
Carrying the leather bag on his back, the demonized goblin quickly ran to Wade's side, and stretched out his hand tremblingly...... There were fourteen soul blood crystals in the outstretched palms, "My lord." β
Wade looked down at the soul blood crystal in the palm of the demonized goblin's hand, and then he came back to his senses, and after a long time, this demonized goblin is picking up garbage?
Forget it, don't be in vain.
Wade waved his hand, didn't bargain, and directly accepted the soul blood crystal in the hands of the demonized goblin.
Seeing that the soul blood crystal in his hand was taken away, the demonized goblin not only did not show a little loss, but couldn't help but smile, obviously very excited.
Saluting slightly at Wade, the demonized goblin turned around and ran away with the big leather bag on his back.
As soon as he slipped through the smoke, he ran away.
Wade couldn't help but sigh, "It's really simple." β
Then he turned his head to look at the tavern next to him.
γRed Rock Tavernγ
The name is written on the wooden signboard in demonic language.
It's just crookedly written, and it's not beautiful at all.
There is a hole in the upper right corner of the sign with some kind of sharp object, and there are even three scratches of different shades on the letter.
The signboard looks very new, but it has a crumbling feeling.
As you can imagine, the signs of this tavern must have been changed from one place to another often.
It seems to be a lot of fun.
Wade was intrigued.
The tavern as a whole looks like the other buildings, still made of yellow rocks.
It is boxy, there is no special architectural style, and it is as rough and rough as ever.
If there is any difference, it is the use of stained glass in the windows, and the patchwork of various famous demons.
Wade pushed the door straight in.
As soon as he entered, the scene inside the tavern made Wade slightly stunned.
The inside of the tavern was nothing like what he thought.
With a fantasy element of demons, shouldn't the interior of the tavern be a heavy wooden table, a wooden wine glass, a bard playing the lyre, and a bartender with a blonde beauty?
Even if Wade lost some of his memories, the last time he came to the flying kite realm was not in vain, and Wade didn't let go of a book that should be read.
But what you see in front of you is completely different from what is described in the book.
Instead...... Instead, it has a cyberpunk vibe.
There are countless small lights hanging on the top of the tavern, which has a sense of purple and red.
In the center, you can see a huge spherical mirror slowly turning, reflecting various colors of light, making those who see it feel dizzy.
Metal cylinders, from top to bottom, penetrate directly into the ground.
Platform after platform is attached to these metal columns, falling and rising.
On each platform, there are female or male creatures constantly writhing.
Wade glanced at the writhing creatures and couldn't help but take a step back.
Strictly speaking, these creatures are actually passable-looking, but the problem is that the demons have so many strange fetishes that these creatures always have one or two more things that make Wade have a spicy eye.
For example, a bosom that almost drags to the ground, or an oversized head that is two or three times larger than usual...... None of them are normal anyway.
Forget it, you can't do it for nothing.
Wade shrugged his shoulders and sat down at random at the bar.
Throwing a soul blood crystal to the bartender next to him, "I say, do you have anything good to recommend?" β
The bartender, who had three pairs of arms and looked a bit like a praying mantis, was stunned after catching the soul blood crystal, and then spread his hands and said, "This guest, if you want me to recommend it, I suggest you give two more soul blood crystals...... If you have to recommend me. β
"The most famous wine in our tavern is 'Scarlet Twilight', which is soft on the palate and has a long aftertaste, which I think you will love."
Wade turned his head to look at the bartender.
Although it is impossible to tell what kind of expression this bartender has at this time from the insect-like face, judging from the tone of this person, it seems to be very proud?
Without hesitation, Wade directly gave the bartender four soul blood crystals, "You know, I'm more greedy, if it's really as good as you say." β
The bartender bowed slightly, "Please wait." β
Turning around, he picked up the various wine bottles on the counter behind him.
After a slightly fancy concoction, the bartender took a large glass and poured the slightly cloudy liquor into it.
Probably because the glass is a bit big, and when all the wine is poured in, it only takes up half of the glass.
The bartender was not in a hurry, turned around and put pieces of white crystals in the glass.
As the white crystals are inserted, the liquor in the glass instantly begins to boil.
After a few moments, the wine calmed down and the color changed from cloudy and unknown to a brilliant purple.
The bartender picked up his glass and placed it lightly in front of Wade, "Enjoy." β
Wade's nose twitched, and he sniffed.
Just smell a faint smell of blood accompanied by a vague sweet fragrance, it doesn't seem to be anything strange?
Just as Wade was thinking this, the faint bloody aura in his sense of smell quickly disappeared, and then transformed into a refreshing cool chill.
Wade suddenly felt a little thirsty, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Like the smell, the wine tastes mellow and sweet, but it doesn't feel pleasantly surprised.
But just as the liquor was swallowed, an indescribable coldness spread from Wade's stomach.
It was so cool and so cool that Wade couldn't even help but close his eyes and enjoy the sensation at the moment.
Then Wade belched, and a cold chill erupted from his mouth.
Wade opened his eyes and nodded at the bartender, "It's really good, I was pleasantly surprised." β
The bartender smiled, "It's my pleasure to be satisfied." β
As he sipped, Wade looked around.
He could clearly see that not all of the taverns were full of demons, but that there were many other species besides demons.
Wade was also a little curious about these creatures that were not native to the Demon Abyss.
On the one hand, they wonder if these creatures are delicious, and on the other hand, they are interested in the origin of these creatures.
The bartender probably saw Wade's interest and whispered, "Alien creatures don't talk about their hometown here." β
"After all, as we all know, demons are not easy to mess with."
Wade glanced back at it, "Is that so?" No wonder I didn't hear anything useful. β
"Look at you, is this your first time in Red Rock City?" The bartender asked after a pause.
Wade didn't care when he heard this, his performance was indeed incompatible with other demons, "Yes, I'm from other abysses. β
Hearing this, the bartender couldn't help but show a little envy, "No wonder you pay attention in a different direction than other demons...... I really envy you for your ability to travel back and forth through this vast world, I have never left Red Rock City when I am so big. β
"Even in the tavern, I rarely go out."
"What? Can't you leave Red Rock City? Wade asked as he drank.
"No, of course not." The bartender shook his head, "As a non-Demon Abyss creature, most of the people who enter the Abyss are to obtain enough benefits. β
"When I followed my relatives to the Demon Abyss, I was still young and didn't understand many things."
As a result, the loved one got into a fight with a certain drunken demon...... The demon hung up, but the fight took a terrible toll on the tavern, and my loved one couldn't afford to pay for it. β
"Eventually, they mortgaged me here."
"But this is a long time ago, I have paid the money that should have been paid more than ten years ago, but I am too weak, if I really want to leave Red Rock City, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to my hometown alive."
After listening to the bartender's words, Wade sighed very cooperatively, "That's a pity." β
In Wade's perception, the strength of the bartender in front of him is equivalent to that of a lower demon, and it is also the lowest level.
If it is in a demon novice village such as a boiling swamp, this bartender can still try to return home, but out of the demon novice village, it is really no different from cannon fodder.
It's better to stay safe in the tavern.
It's in between small talk.
A soft but seductive voice came from the side: "Wow, here's a newcomer, you're so handsome." β
Wade looked for a voice and saw a petite but bumpy black-skinned elf, winking at him.
Light black skin, long black hair, long pointed ears, and obviously petite but explosive chest, revealing a different kind of charm.
The black-skinned elf had a matte metal wire around his waist and a small red leather whip pinned to it.
Dressed in a very revealing small leather armor, almost completely exposed except for some important places.
Wade looked at the other party and nodded slightly, "Thank you for the compliment." β
Then he took out three more soul blood crystals and threw them to the bartender, "One more glass." β
Seeing Wade so active and generous, the black-skinned elf couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling, walked to the seat next to Wade and sat down step by step, brushed his hair with his hand, and said softly: "Handsome newcomer, you are really generous, not like a newcomer at all." β
"You must know that newcomers are often very poor, you are really special."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bartender placed the glass in front of the black-skinned elf.
The black-skinned elf took a sip of his wine glass, and then looked at Wade's clothes, revealing some curiosity.
"You're wearing something special, I haven't seen much of it." As he spoke, he reached out and touched it.
The clothes Wade was wearing at this time were actually stored in the [Scarlet Dimension] in the [Flying Kite Realm].
There are all kinds of heights and styles, after all, Wade can [Transfiguration], so it's not wrong to prepare a little more.
White shirt, black trench coat, jeans, and black leather boots.
There is nothing unusual about Wade's dress among humans.
But when put into the abyss, it is a little out of place.
It's not that Wade is wearing anything special, it's that the clothes are too fragile.
Such fragile clothing, in the eyes of the demon, is almost as good as not wearing it.
However, the aura exuded by Wade is not weak, and it is in stark contrast.
It doesn't seem surprising that it will arouse the curiosity of the black-skinned elves.
Not caring about the provocative movements of the black-skinned elf, Wade glanced down at the trench coat he was wearing, "This is clothing from other worlds, and it is indeed not suitable for the Demon Abyss." β
Other worlds?! The black-skinned elf smiled lightly, and his expression couldn't help but pause.
If a demon is summoned to another world, it is difficult to bring anything back from the other world due to the restrictions of the summoning contract.
But if it is a serious descending to another world, rather than being summoned, then there is not much limit to what the demon can bring back from the Demon Abyss.
The black-skinned elves didn't think that any demon would be willing to pay a big price to bring back this useless clothing from other worlds when it was summoned.
It's no longer a question of whether it's okay or not, it's a question of whether it's stupid or not.
Therefore, the clothes on the demon in front of him were brought back by this demon after he really came to a certain world!
Glancing at Wade's clothes, the black-skinned elf slowly put his face close to Wade's chest, "I want to take a good look at such special clothes." β
Then she looked up at Wade's face again, "Handsome Mr. Demon, you won't be taken by a succubus, will you?" β
Wade smiled faintly, "Don't worry, ma'am, if some succubus takes me to other worlds, I don't think I can come back." β
The answer was somehow funny, causing the black-skinned elf to giggle.
Let the many male creatures in the tavern pay attention frequently.
After a long time.
Wade got up and left the tavern.
Looking at Wade's departing back, the coquettishness on the face of the black-skinned elf quickly converged.
She asked in a very soft and respectful voice to the bartender beside her, "Lord Tsele, do you need to follow?" β
The bar shook his head slightly as he wiped his glass, "Forget it, let's go down." β
The black-skinned elf then got up and left.
Turning his head to look in the direction Wade had left, Tsele smiled slightly, Blood Demon? It's rare enough.
Some people died, but not completely......
