Chapter 324 - The Beastman City with Public Sex (2/2)
Entering the inn, Link instantly felt like he’d returned to the human world. The spacious building was filled with the smell of cheese, and most of the people in the lobby were humans. He was relieved.
Coincidentally, Link actually saw Masos.
The guy was eating lunch with his mercenaries. He saw Link as well and chuckled. “Ah, what a coincidence! You look like you’re in a bad mood. Come, come, I’ll treat you to a good meal!” With that, he raised a hand and told the server, “Three more roasted lambs and three cups of grain wine.”
Masos was very enthusiastic while Link needed someone familiar with the situation to help. He walked over and sat with them. “It’s really hard to get accustomed to this city.” Link sighed.
Grinning, Masos said, “Everyone’s like that the first time, but you’ll get used to it. Compared to us, the Beastmen are indeed a bit behind, but they’re straightforward and rarely lie. It’s much easier doing business with them.”
That was true. Beastmen could be described with one word: straightforward. Other than the shamans, most were like inflexible rods.
Soon, a Beastwoman server brought the food over. The so-called roasted lamb looked like a roasted pig, so Link tried it. It was tender and tasty. He took a sip of the wine and instantly felt better.
Felina had a shocking appetite. She was a typical foodie and forgot all about the earlier unhappiness as she started eating. As for Nana, she tried the unfamiliar food and then sat there primly, listening to the others chat. She looked like a lady.
The people were all discussing the interesting things about the Golden Plains. Mostly, it was Masos talking while Link listened.
As they talked, Masos suddenly asked, “Master Link, did you hear about what happened three days ago?”
“Three days ago? What happened?” Link had been focused on avoiding Isendilan and didn’t care about anything else.
Masos sighed. “A Magician cast some sort of terrifying flame spell in the northern village of Deral. The entire village was destroyed, and no more than 200 people survived. According to a lucky merchant, it was a young man dressed in a dark red robe. His hair was black-red, and his eyes were red too. Do you think the Red Dragon did it?”
Before Link could react after hearing this, Felina suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Link noticed immediately.
“Masos just described Isendilan.” Felina had paled.
“Isendilan?” Masos didn’t know the name of this Red Dragon duke.
“He’s the fallen duke and is very powerful, no less than Bryant from before. The Red Dragon at Holun was his underling,” Link described the legendary dragon to Masos in layman terms.
Regular people wouldn’t know how powerful the Red Dragon duke was, but everyone knew who Bryant was. If a dragon could be compared to Bryant and was so cruel and his underlings so terrifying—it was a disaster.
This time, Masos and his mercenaries turned ghastly pale. They were even more unnerved than Felina.
Masos sucked in a deep breath and said uncomfortably, “I heard about this yesterday. At that time, the Sky Shattering Warlord had just helped us to the White Cloud City, and we got the news that something happened to Deral. The Sky Shattering Warlord hurried over with three grand shamans and an elite Beastman army of 1000. Hearing what you said now, they’re probably all dead now.”
Link and Felina exchanged glances at this news.
After a long while, Link asked, “How powerful is the Sky Shattering Warlord?”
“He’s a Level-9 Warrior. He apparently leveled up a month ago.” Masos was a regular man, but he was very knowledgeable and described the Sky Shattering Warlord’s strength precisely.
A Level-9 Warrior with three grand shamans and an elite Beastman army of 1000 soldiers could give Isendilan some trouble if they fought with the right techniques. They could even defeat Isendilan.
But if they were unlucky or Isendilan attacked first, all of them would be killed without a doubt.
Felina put her mouth to Link’s ears and whispered, “I think this is our fault.”
Yes, it was definitely their fault, and they even caused so many innocent civilians of Deral Village to lose their lives. Link felt very guilty.
Thinking for a bit, Link said to Masos, “The Sky Shattering Warlord isn’t Isendilan’s match and will most likely die. I want to help, but I’m afraid the Beastmen distrust me. Can you help be my witness?”
The three of them couldn’t go against Isendilan, but with so many Beastman Warriors and a Level-9 Beastman Warlord, they could fight Isendilan and possibly even injure him gravely.
Masos drank all his wine and said boldly, “The warlord is my friend. I just don’t have the abilities. Otherwise, I’d gone to help long ago. Now that you want to help, why would I refuse?”
They were all direct and bold people. Since they decided, they acted immediately. After filling their stomachs, they set off.
Just as they hurried out of the Sleeping Giant Inn, a blue-eyed black cat with shiny and silky fur jumped onto the inn’s roof, silently watching the leaving group. When they disappeared, the black cat jumped down. It flashed into an alley and disappeared.
