Chapter 510: A Day At The Restaurant

We queue to enter the city, as I don't want to show any identification we have to go through a very simple question process just to confirm that we are not criminals, so we pay each one a silver coin which can be considered a very expensive cost high just to enter a city, but that's just the cost for those who don't have any kind of identification.

Sapphire who was too big to get into the carriage stayed outside following closely and entered with everyone, the city gate guards didn't care about her race, but there was a gate guard who tried to call her for a meeting.

After we pass through the Sapphire gate who was previously nervous about the reaction of the people calmed down, I look at the city streets and realize that the difference between people was huge, Demons, as well as Beastmen, have many variants in their own race, plus on this continent, I'm seeing a lot more Demi races than I've seen during my time on the Morror Continent.

Sapphire wasn't even the only Lamia on the streets, but she was definitely the biggest, one person that caught my eye was a blue-skinned man with glowing Runes lit by various parts of his body.

When I asked about them to Nix who was in my shadow, she says it must be a Runic that evolved, it seems that in her evolution the Runes are no longer hidden.

There were also Werewolves tending a food stall, and there were Ogres, Orcs, and Minotaurs doing heavy construction work or carrying big boxes, the strangest thing I saw was a 2 meter tall Minotaur woman lowering a Dwarf that was almost my height, it was a slightly disconcerting scene due to the huge difference in size between them.

There are more races in this city than in my Shadow City, plus one thing I noticed was that there were no Humans as far as I could see at least.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

I stop the carriage in a dark alley where I don't feel any other presence and put it in my storage item, then we head through the alleys until we come out onto another street.

I walk into a busy clothing store and ask where the most popular restaurant among adventurers is, she points me in the direction without hesitation.

One thing I've learned is that if you're going to ask someone for directions in a place you don't know, the best way is to go into a decently busy store and ask an employee, that's because the information must be better than someone completely unknown on the street.

"What kind of monster would it take to injure the former King without causing a big commotion?" (Adventurer B)

"I don't know, it could have been an assassin who took the old King by surprise, maybe." (Adventurer A)

"See, you also know there's something strange about this story." (Adventurer B)

"There really is something strange, but we can all see that the number of soldiers patrolling the city has increased, Also when I was going to deliver the thief I captured for the mission to the guard post I heard them talking, it seems that the castle is on high alert at days with soldiers and the Royal Knights protecting the place." (Adventurer C)

"I said, the old King was attacked, that just proves I'm right you idiots." (Adventurer B)

"I still don't believe any of this, if this was caused by an attack inside the castle it would mean the Assassin managed to escape, I don't think it's possible." (Adventurer A)

Listening to the discussion of some Adventurers nearby gave me some information, something about the former King being a Vampire and having been attacked, he might be the Vampire we're looking for.

I nod my head creating telepathic magic with the people at my table telling me what I've found, then Samira tells me what she's heard from the Noble children drinking on the other side of the restaurant.

Samira said that they overheard her parents talking about the number of Doctors, Alchemists, and Priests that have been in and out of the castle for days, even though they were ordered to find capable people to send to the castle, but were not told anything about what was going on happening.

The more I listen the more certain I am that our target could be this former King or someone in his family.
