Chapter 115 - The Daily Routine of the Strange Tavern

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Because they had said at the city gate that they were here to drink, the people who followed them into the city would enthusiastically show them the way to the tavern. They were afraid that they would not be able to find the place.

“What do we do now?”

Milton was disdainful in his heart, but he was still very cautious in his actions.

“Let’s go and see how good the wine that was claimed to be the best in the continent by the humans is!”

Hewlett was not convinced. His face was full of disbelief.

The target of this mission was also the young man who made wine. It was possible that he was the same person as Alan in this small tavern. This way, they would not have to look for him again.

Then, the two of them followed the route that those people mentioned and slowly walked toward the small tavern on the back street.

There were poles and streetlamps erected along the street. There were shrubs that could be seen in three to five steps. There was a big tree every ten meters away. There were also people pouring magic power into the tree.

They always felt that the people in this city were strange. Whether it was the things on the street or their actions, they were all baffled. They could not even understand why humans would plant plants in the city.

“Hey, Birdman, do you feel that the smell of the demons has become stronger after entering the city…”

Hewlett put his arm around Milton’s shoulder and whispered into his ear.

“I… I told you, if you call me a Birdman again, I’ll kill you first!”

Milton was angered by Hewlett’s rudeness again, and his hands were clenched into fists.

“Don’t be so stingy. Your true form is indeed a like a bird. Why are you afraid of people judging you? My true form is a bear, and I’m very proud of it.”

Hewlett didn’t care at all, and proudly showed off his true form.

“Milton, the world is so wonderful. There’s no need to argue with a fool. Being irritable makes people old and ugly… calm down!”

The archangel could do nothing about this fool, he just muttered to himself in a low voice.

“The entire Rock City is filled with the aura of the Abyss. It’s rotten, depraved, and violent…”

If there was a race on the continent that hated the Abyss and demons the most, it would definitely be the angels. The auras of these two races were born to counter each other. Just like the sun and the moon, they were destined not to make peace to each other.

“Be careful. I have a premonition that the youth we are looking for has a deep relationship with the demons. Such a dense Abyss aura is not an ordinary demon. There might be a demon lord in the city.”

It was rare for Hewlett to speak in such a serious manner. It was obvious that he had also discovered the uniqueness of this city.

Rock City was completely different from other cities in the human countries.

The closer they were to the back street, the stronger the demon aura they felt. When they saw the small tavern, that unusual Abyssal aura pounced towards them.

“Birdman, I’m afraid that things are not going well. A demon lord can’t do this aura, right?” Hewlett said nervously.

“Yes, there are at least two demon lords inside!”

For the first time, Milton didn’t correct Hewlett’s address. Now, his face was pale, and he was extremely nervous.

His strength was ranked at the top among the younger generation, but it was still far from enough when facing the demon lord.

The growth of the demon race was even slower. In addition to their nearly infinite life, almost no race could compare to them.

Logically speaking, as long as the demons didn’t die halfway, even a demon-pig beast could cultivate to become a god!

“Do you think it’s possible that this tavern was opened by the Demon King? It’s hidden in the human world, gathering intelligence, and waiting for an opportunity to launch another war between gods and demons?”

Milton frowned and guessed.

Hewlett didn’t answer, he kept staring at the tavern.

After being renovated, the appearance of the small tavern had completely changed.

It had carved beams and painted buildings, all kinds of exquisite reliefs, colorful glazed tiles, and bright glass. The entire building was extremely gorgeous. There was no such building in the entire continent. It had an ancient flavor and a lingering charm.

Hewlett was immersed in the appearance of the tavern. He didn’t even hear Milton’s words.

“Let’s go in and take a look.”

Staring at the small tavern without blinking, Hewlett’s heart was already filled with curiosity, and he ignored the dense demon aura.

Although Milton didn’t approve of his recklessness in his heart, looking at his teammate who was about to push open the door, he could only follow. If there really was a demon lord, without Hewlett, he was afraid that he wouldn’t even be able to escape.

“Be careful!”

Milton followed after him.

Hewlett pushed open the door of the tavern. At this moment, the daily routines of the tavern were being played out in the room.

“All of you, get to work!”

“Samael, move, don’t slack off!”

“Abraham, don’t think that just because you’re staying here, you don’t need to work!”

“Asmodeus, don’t drink the wine!”

“Beelzebub… forget it, you can continue cursing. Just work.”

…

Alan was swinging the broom in his hand as he chased after these demon lords to work.

Their days in the tavern were too comfortable. These demon lords seemed to have forgotten their identity.

Seeing that there was only one Yupanki who didn’t receive a salary working every day, Alan felt extremely apologetic.

The door was pushed open.

Alan turned his head and looked at Hewlett, who was still pushing the door open.

“Er… Sorry, the tavern is not open yet. You can come back later.”

There was an indescribable silence in the air. After Alan finished speaking, he waited for a long time but received no response.

Suddenly, the bear-like man standing at the door squeezed out a roar from his throat and transformed.

That’s right, he transformed in front of Alan and turned into a huge black bear, standing upright at the door.

Before Alan could react, it rushed towards him.

Samael reacted quickly and pounced, directly colliding with the bear. He remembered what Alan had said, that magic was not allowed in the tavern, and only physical strength could stop the bear.

What was even more ridiculous to Alan was that the person behind him was able to grow six white wings on his back in an instant.

His entire body was emitting a blinding golden light, and he looked like a small sun in the shape of a human. Alan was dumbfounded as he watched the other party rush towards him.

Abraham nimbly blocked the human-small sun that could emit light.

It only took a few seconds for the scene to become chaotic.

Soon after, the system notification sounded in his mind.

[ Detected a creature fighting in the tavern and attempting to attack the host. The system will take forceful measures to stop it. ]

The mechanical voice had just stopped when Alan saw the four people who were fighting each other were pressed to the ground by a mysterious force, unable to move.

The bear gradually returned to its original human form.

With a bang, the six huge, white wings instantly turned into small golden specks of light that scattered in the air. Even the dazzling golden light gradually dissipated.

[ Punishment countdown, 3,2… ]

While Alan was still in a daze, a blue electric current suddenly flashed across the two strangers.

The blue light gradually became stronger and brighter.

Abraham and Samael found that they could move. They immediately stood up and moved away from the two people who were still on the ground

“Ah…”

At the same time, a shocking cry sounded, and the fragrance of meat wafted from the two people on the ground.

Alan was stunned. This was the first time he saw the system punish those who caused trouble in the tavern.

The Abyss group of four was even more shocked. If they had appeared directly in the tavern and attacked Alan, Wayne wouldn’t have even had to fight them.

The demon lords were cheering in their hearts. They let out a sigh of relief. They could be considered to have escaped a disaster.

Alan looked at the two fellows on the ground and saw that their cries had become much softer. Finally, he came back to his senses and summoned the system in his mind.

“System, quickly stop. Stop the electricity. If you continue to use it, people will die…”

[ Host, do you wish to end the punishment? ]

“Yes, yes, yes. Quickly stop. If people die, I cannot open the tavern…”

Just as Alan finished the conversation in his mind, the punishment in the tavern ended at the same time.

Milton and Hewlett, who were still lying on the ground, were deeply grateful that they had finally escaped a calamity..
