I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue hadn't noticed this person's arrival at all.

It was as if he had suddenly appeared at the door, or had been waiting there for a long time.

The person who entered was wearing a white robe, with one shoulder higher than the other, twisting his body as he walked to the counter and asked the shopkeeper.

"Hello, what were you saying just now?"

Li Yue noticed that not only was this person's body uneven, but even his face was lopsided, giving him an overall awkward feeling.

The shopkeeper's face turned pale instantly when he saw him.

"Oh… I was recommending… recommending this newcomer to town to become a believer."

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat, accidentally smearing furnace ash all over his face.

Clearly, this white-robed fellow was a believer of the New Church.

"So that's how it is…" The white-robed man turned his head and asked Li Yue, "Then are you willing?"

The believer's face was very close to Li Yue, and the breath he exhaled made Li Yue feel instinctively annoyed.

"Scope of business?" Li Yue thought that the business scope of the Loutown Merchant Guild… included moving talking boxes.

"What's going on?" Li Yue scratched his head.

Oh right… clairvoyance?

"Yes, Lie Country, very powerful, a mercenary organization in the Inner Land Continent."

The shopkeeper laughed, "Now it's been destroyed, everyone's dead, only scraps are left."

【Hungry…】

"A very powerful merchant guild?"

Having traveled with Gamma for the past few days, he hadn't dared to close his eyes much, and Li Yue was actually still very sleepy.

Next, he would get a good night's sleep, then snatch Gamma and sell him, or take on a commission to earn some living expenses, and strive to get enough time to light up the markers on Split Gold Mountain.

"White robe."

"Or… are you a hero who needs to buy some demon materials from us?" The shopkeeper sized Li Yue up.

"It seems… we need to find a place to spend the night."

Turning the corner with Skinny, they found an inn called "Iron Horn."

And Li Yue just wanted to ignore everything and quickly run into the room for a good sleep—at least he had confirmed that Gamma was in the Loutown Merchant Guild, and he also had a general understanding of the lifestyle in Iron Ore Town…

"Oh… where were we? Oh right, you can't sleep on the streets…" After seeing the white-robed believer, Li Yue also had an extra layer of suspicion about the Scavengers, feeling that encountering them would definitely not be more comfortable than encountering the believer.

He wouldn't have any psychological burden about travelers becoming scavengers, but now he just wanted to find an inn to get a good night's sleep.

When he used clairvoyance, he did see that the guards' bones and muscles were different from those of ordinary townspeople, and the armor was completely embedded in their skin, with faint magic flowing within.

From the clairvoyant perspective, it was difficult to distinguish which one was Gamma's box due to the interference of the layers of boxes, but this gave Li Yue a reminder.

"Oh… they don't want me to see…"

"Poor ghosts better not provoke them, you won't even know what happened when you get eaten."

The shopkeeper gave Li Yue some advice.

Li Yue stopped.

Gamma's scent extended to the shop across the street.

"Smuggling some demon materials, relics, or creations."

The shopkeeper answered every question, "Why, do you want to run business with us? Do you have anything valuable on you worth trading with us?"

"You guess it's a powerful organization?" Li Yue asked back.

The inn's door was also plastered with the same commissions as the signboard, obviously a very suitable place for heroes and travelers to stay.

"Oh, last question." Li Yue raised a finger and pointed to a shop across the street, "What is this?"

The sign of this shop read "Loutown Merchant Guild," looking like it had a big background.

However, he didn't see any other customers; it was deserted and quiet.

"Not being thirsty or hungry is already very convenient, but not sleeping is not okay…" Li Yue realized that this body's need for sleep was already very strong.

"Find an inn and ask about the price, preferably one that I can afford, and if I can't afford it, I have to make money quickly…" Looking at the Loutown Merchant Guild across the street, Li Yue patted Skinny's back.

"Loutown, you don't know? Heavens… you really are a bumpkin." The shopkeeper shook his head, "You should at least know Lie Country, right?"

"I saw it, don't ask me how." The shopkeeper was a little angry, as if everything was Li Yue's fault.

"I've said everything I need to say, get lost if you're not going to be my apprentice, you poor ghost." The shopkeeper waved his hand, preparing to send him away.

"You're not a traveler, you're a poor ghost."

"Damn it…" The shopkeeper wanted to curse, but didn't dare to say much, fearing that the believer outside the door would turn around again.

After all, it was just a horse.

Li Yue was speechless, thinking that no wonder the mercenary industry over there was so undeveloped, it turned out that the largest organization had already been wiped out.

Skinny didn't respond, nor did it contemplate the fate of sleeping on the streets.

"Lie Country originally occupied Loushan Mountain, and the Loutown Merchant Guild was one of their subordinate merchant guilds. After Loushan Mountain was destroyed, the remaining peripheral personnel ran here and started this merchant guild."

"I'm not a hero yet, I'm just a traveler," Li Yue said.

Li Yue shifted his gaze, looking along the building to the side, and saw the dazzling array of goods in the merchant guild, as well as the stacks of cargo boxes.

Following Gamma's scent, Li Yue and Skinny came here, of course, to inquire about the bard's whereabouts.

After Skinny was led away to the stable, it "tched" at Li Yue.

If he could make full use of his clairvoyance ability to pick up some change or sundries on the road, maybe he could exchange them for money?

"You… stay… how many nights…" The old lady led Li Yue to the door of room 201, opened the door, and grinned.

"It's okay to leave if you don't have any questions, you've wasted so much of my breath…" The shopkeeper finally stood up, "I still have to return the goods…"

"Li, traveler, one night…" The shopkeeper was a mumbling old lady, staring at Li Yue's ID for a long time, registering it carefully, and then tremblingly collected the copper coins and handed over a key.

If the Scavengers were difficult to deal with, obviously having a place to stay would make it easier to move around.

He didn't encounter any other guests on the way upstairs, nor did he hear any sound, so Li Yue used clairvoyance…

Watching him twist his body and slowly leave, Li Yue inexplicably felt uncomfortable somewhere.

Two tall guards stood at the entrance of the shop, wearing full armor, their steel swords dazzling, even making Li Yue believe that they were heroes walking the path of "knights" in legends.

"Okay, thank you."

Li Yue nodded to Skinny, giving it a "you know" look, telling it to find some weeds in the stable to eat, and he would definitely treat it to a big meal when he had money.

Li Yue was also pleasantly surprised to find that the price for the first night was discounted, and the copper coins he had with him were just enough, so he decisively checked in.
