46 Remnant Spiri (1/2)
Since the market was property of the Thorn clan, guards were patrolling the streets and entrances to preserve public order. If someone started a fight in the market, the Thorn clan would display all its fury on the perpetrator.
As a result, everyone kept their biases aside and bought what they needed.
The market occupied a large part of the city, the shouts of the vendors rang out in the streets while numerous cultivators were bartering prices.
After walking through the market for a while, Liann stopped in front of a low-ranking magical treasure stand.
”...?”
”What is it, Liann? ” Asked Rainer for Liann's sudden halt.
”This is an advantage of being a demon, Rainer, use your demonic eyes.” Whispered Liann as she looked at the trinket stand.
”...”
Rainer listened to Liann and used his demonic vision, his eyes took on a greenish hue and he was able to see beyond what a normal person would notice.
”...!”
Rainer was surprised!The supposed magical treasure without rank, it had a small beast rolling around it!
”...!”
The little beast seemed to notice Rainer's gaze and immediately hid in the treasure!
”What is that beast?” Asked Rainer confused.
Sigh...
”As expected from the lineage of the Demon King...your eyes see beyond any demon, I only saw a shadow fluttering around the magical treasure... ” Replied Liann while she sighed.
”...”
”It looked like a dog... ” Murmured Rainer after recalling the scene of the 'dog' wagging his tail as it ran everywhere.
”It's a remnant spirit, it looks like it's attached to this treasure, if you release it, he could serve you.” She said.
”To serve me? How? It was very small!” Replied Rainer.
”Idiot, it is a spirit, you can use the Irkalia's Bracelet to recruit it into your army!” Liann said frustrated.
”Ohhh, it's right.”
Rainer approached the seller and bought the magic treasure at a good price, according to the seller it was only a useless piece of junk, but he didn't know about the cute tenant of his shop.
...
After purchasing the supplies needed for a few months' journey, the group left the market to return to the inn.
When they were a couple of streets away from the inn, a group of five men surrounded them.
”Well, well, what do we have here, brothers?” Said the generic thug #1.
”A boy and his monkey, you're looking for your mother, brat? Hahahahaha ”The five generic thugs laughed at the author's cunning reference.
”There are even two beauties!” Said a thug as he licked his lips.
”Let's...” Before the bullies could continue their generic filler talk, Liann used the pressure of his cultivation to detonate the head of the perverted thug.
”You come to us to rob or talk? That' s why I hate minor characters like you!” Rainer thought as he went ahead, Liann was still wounded by the fighting in the woods, so she could only use her cultivation to scare or kill the weakest cultivator.
”...!”
The thugs were surprised at Liann's strength, they had never seen anyone kill without even letting them finish their dialogue!
Slash!
In the face of the absent-minded thugs, Rainer cut the neck of the nearest thug to him as he used his body to propel himself and land behind the backs of the other thugs.
”Damn it! Kill that brat if you want to get out of here alive!” Shouted a thug who thought Rainer only killed his partner because he wasn't prepared.
