Chapter 593 Cap 591: Venon Fortress City Part 1(Chapter Preview)
As soon as we enter the city I realize that all the buildings are made of smooth stone, this city could be intact after an earthquake with such robust constructions.
The architecture was minimalist but the colors were vibrant, and everyone around them had some kind of weapon, I also noticed that most people\'s Auras were well trained.
"(They all seem to be Adventurers.)" (I)
The local population was mostly Demons, but there were also people of other races, so maybe that\'s why the miasma in this city was a little thicker.
This entire continent has miasma with different concentrations, so this environment is perfect for the Demon race to live in, according to Lilian people of other races after generations have created greater resistance to miasma and that\'s why they are able to live on this continent.
As this city seems to have a large population and mostly Demons, I think it must be normal to have more miasma here, but it seems that monsters are not born in here due to all these Auras all over the place.
"This city is very interesting." (I)
"I didn\'t want to be here, the item I use isn\'t perfect, it might change my appearance but it doesn\'t do the same to my Aura or smell." (Athena)
"Don\'t worry, that Heretic God with you is hiding his Aura all the time, didn\'t you notice?" (I)
"What!? I hadn\'t noticed before." (Athena)
Athena stares at the crystal on her necklace for a few minutes as we walk through the streets, she seems to be silent but must be talking to this Heretic God in her mind.
"Looks like he\'s been doing this for a while, but how did you find out?" (Athena)
"Let\'s just say I knew that." (I)
"(Since we entered this city Athena\'s Aura has been inaccessible to me, I only realize the reason for this because of the power of the Trinity of Nature in me.)" (I)
"It seems like he\'s been doing this for me whenever I\'ve entered a city, that\'s why my Aura would draw a lot of attention." (Athena)
"I imagined that." (I)
While riding our mounts we ended up attracting attention from many, maybe because our mounts are high level monsters or maybe it\'s because of the beauty of the girls.
I follow the main street straight until I see a sign with a green Serpent inside a beer mug.
"That must be the Drunken Serpent restaurant Lourenço told us about, let\'s wait there." (I)
I follow an empty alley on the outskirts where oily mounts make their way back to the Dungeon through my shadow with the help of the Fairies.
After that, we left the alley going to this restaurant, as soon as I enter safely the mug flying in my direction, the scene inside this place was a fight between two drunk Adventurers, both were Demons with two normal white horns on their head, but one had the slightly bluish skin and the other had reddish skin.
The Demon with the blue skin was fat and very large, the one with the red skin was muscular and had an idiot\'s face.
Their punches were pretty strong and their combat techniques were decent, but they were still a long way from the people in my group in terms of strength.
"Should we look elsewhere?" (Diana)
"No, we\'re scheduled to meet here, so let\'s sit away from the hustle, that corner table is empty, let\'s go over there." (I)
I go around to avoid the auction happening in the middle of the restaurant, the other customers were around watching like it was a show, while we were going to the table I even saw someone opening a betting table.
"(The owner of the place doesn\'t seem to care about All this destruction and confusion, I wonder why?)" (I)
As we sat down an Orc waitress came to meet us, her body was tall, her skin was dark green, and her lean muscles showing that she doesn\'t do much physical training.
"What\'s your order?" (Orc Waitress)
"Three kegs of your best beer, I\'d like your best meat dish too." (I)
"Just to confirm, is this for everyone?" (Orc Waitress)
"No, this is just for me, others can ask for whatever they want." (I)
"I want the same as him." (Diana)
"I\'d like a bottle of wine and a sandwich." (Athena)
"I want two bottles of juice and the biggest piece of meat you have." (Ragnar)
"Do you have any local fruit dishes? I\'d also like a glass of juice." (Freya)
"Looks like not all of you are Adventurers, are you passing through town?" (Orc Waitress)
"We\'re only staying a few days, besides, how are you so sure we\'re not all adventurers?" (I)
"Any Adventurer arriving here orders at least half a barrel of beer and lots of meat dishes, that includes Elves." (Orc Waitress)
"I understand where you\'re going." (I)
This Waitress likes to talk, I can use this to learn more about this fight in the middle of the place.
"Do you know anything about this fight? Why doesn\'t anyone try to stop them?" (I)
"This happens every day, in the end, the loser will be forced to pay for the concerts, besides the bets are always split with the restaurant." (Orc Waitress)
"Stopping a fight between Adventurers is very difficult, moreover it is something that happens often, so instead of stopping the owner thinking it would be better, over time Adventurers started to be the main customers of the restaurant." (Orc Waitress)
This restaurant allows customers to fight inside the establishment, it seems they even allow bets on such a thing, I\'ve never heard of anything like this before.
While I was distracted thinking about this strange restaurant, the waitress had already left to notify the kitchen of our order.
For the next few minutes, while I waited for our order, I watched the two drunken Adventurers fight, the fat one winning when he punched his opponent in the jaw and he collapsed in a faint.
People watching had different reactions, some were happy they had bet on the fat one, but there were also people grumpy for having a bet on the loser.
One of the waiters came out of the kitchen, it was a Werewolf with a scar on his face, he wakes up the loser and forces him to pay.
Soon a group of 4 people enter the restaurant, when this happens everyone looks at them, some with fear, some with respect, and some with admiration.
A man from this group looks at our table and approaches with eyes full of lust, he stops next to us with a confident smile.
"See what we have here? Such a beautiful and precious thing in this wild place, allow me to accompany you, my dear."
