Chapter 228 The Stall King and the Prince
"Come and see~fresh fruits..."
"Honey! 40 coppers per jar, 1 silver coin for 3 jars."
"Artilia leaves, ten pieces for one silver coin~"
"..."
In front of Belsi, there is a quite lively market... This kind of scene is somewhat familiar to Belsi and Nananashima Semu.
It seemed that I had seen streets like this when I was in Dhoni City.
Street stall... coming?
Belsi thought this, and followed Cui Lan and Tristolan with Semu of the Seven Islands on his back.
He is able to move around in such streets by shrinking his body due to his ability called [Comparison of Cats: Showing Weakness].
Of course, his body size has not shrunk as before.
At least not to the extent that you can hide in the mage girl's backpack.
…
Belsey looked around curiously, watching countless people setting up stalls and selling all kinds of things.
There were shouts and shouts here and it seemed very lively.
Of course, similar to the street stalls in Dhoni City, there are regular shops behind each stall and on both sides of the street.
And there is a clear difference from Dhoni City...
In the Anaconda Forest, a large part of the creatures selling items are not human beings.
Over in Duni City, 70% of the people are human beings.
And here, the number of humans is already large among the rich races, but it is estimated that... only 30% are humans.
There are more elves than humans...
Of course, the [Elf] here does not just refer to a specific type of elf, but also includes...
The blond high elf, the wood elf with emerald green hair, what they have in common is... they are all beautiful and have good figures.
Ahem, okay...
The more striking feature is the pair of pointed ears.
"Speaking of which, why do elves have pointed ears?"
Bel Xi asked. He asked Tristolan and Cui Lan curiously, but... this question was very strange.
"Um……"
"this……"
Neither Tristolan nor Cui Lan knew how to respond to Bel Xi's question.
"Well, I think this question is meaningless, Boss Belsi."
Da Zhuang said this, he touched his ears and said: "Brother, look, why are the ears of the orcs round? Nanashima Semu's second son doesn't have ears yet...Brother, your ears..."
Da Zhuang said, looking into Bel Xi's ear, and then was speechless. He shook his head helplessly.
When Tristolan and Cui Lan noticed this, they also looked at Bel Xi's ears in unison.
then……
"Well, brother...your ears are also pointed, aren't they? Although they are close to your head, you can't tell much of their outline."
Tristolan said this.
"???"
This was the first time Belsi knew about this. He stretched out his paw and touched his ear, and then... I'm going! I actually really have ears!
In the process of Belch's very funny shock...
Those who set up the stalls also discovered the specialness of Belsi and his group.
"Eh? Is that...a giant dragon?"
"Black dragon? No...it doesn't seem right. It doesn't look like a red dragon either. Those kind of wings shouldn't be the type of dragon I'm familiar with."
"It's a hybrid of black dragon and red dragon, right? It's those special wings..."
"Is it mutated?"
The people around looked over curiously and looked at Belsi and his party, but they did not seem to recognize Belsi as an abyss dragon.
This is actually normal. After all, the abyssal dragon appears very rarely in the main plane, and the abyssal dragon is not a conventional dragon species.
Even in the abyss, the number of abyssal dragons is not large.
After the melting of the abyss, the Abyss Demon Chicken, an important part of the Abyss Dragon's diet, also suffered a sharp decline in number due to the squeeze on its living environment.
Two and a half years after the melting of the Abyss, the Abyss Demon Chicken was almost extinct.
Under such circumstances, except for some academic people who can see it in textbooks, only older or very knowledgeable people understand the abyssal dragon.
[Brother, they say you are a mutated red and black dragon. Can you tolerate this? 】
Semu Nananoshima was on fire like this, but Belxi had always been indifferent and flapped his wings casually.
"Of course I can tolerate it... I don't need to be angry because of other people's misunderstandings, right? Are red dragon, black dragon, and mutation some contemptuous terms?"
Bel Xi said so simply, and the tail behind him swayed, which meant that his heart was as calm as his words.
"There is no disrespect to me in their hearts, they are just curious and puzzled... Is this normal?"
Yes, this kind of thing is normal in his own opinion.
In the world he used to live in... well, for example, it was equivalent to Chinese people traveling in Europe and being asked by foreigners, "Are you a Chinese from the universe?" 】Same.
The person being asked won't be angry... right?
But no matter what, Belsi would not feel that this was an offense to him. After all, he did not have much identity with his [Abyss Dragon] identity.
If he is an Abyss Dragon, his soul and memory are undoubtedly human. The title of [Abyss Dragon] is just a carrier, a body.
If he is a human being, then Belsi's race and current self-consciousness are undoubtedly those of an abyssal dragon, and the concept of [humanity] is only in the past.
It's a memory that can be lost at any time.
[The past] is not nobler than [the present], not to mention that the latter will also extend to the endless future visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, Bel Xi only thinks that he is Bel Xi.
"..."
"You are very interesting...well, we meet again, Abyss Dragon."
A man's voice came from in front of everyone. Belsi looked forward and saw a demon in a black suit.
This is a demon who gives people the feeling of being in a high position. His figure is no different from that of a normal person, and there are goat-like horns on both sides of his forehead.
Belsi didn't know him...
So what does the other party mean by "Meet again"?
Belch turned around to confirm that the target of the conversation was indeed him, and then responded by asking, "Have we met?"
Tristolan and Cui Lan looked at each other quietly, as if they didn't understand this demon at all, but... the passers-by around them seemed to recognize this demon.
Is he some famous person?
Da Zhuang seemed to know this person. He looked around in confusion...and suddenly realized something.
"Ah, by the way...Actually, I just met you. It's a one-time relationship, right? And it was my one-sided [side], in Dorney City."
The devil said this and introduced himself: "My real name contains [De], so you can call me that... Of course, you can also call me my identity - the stall king."
I see, is that the stall king?
At this time, Da Zhuang also nodded and added helpfully: "Well, the stall street in Dorney City is Wilde's area of responsibility."
By saying this, Belxi knew who the other party was, and almost knew why the other party said they had a relationship.
After all, at that time, he, Semu Nananoshima, and Sanmei almost blew up the stall street to pieces.
Although in the end, those law enforcers did not count the three people as responsible.
After all, it was the strange noble sibling named [What, What, What] who first found the troll and the adventurer to kill three people.
"My name is De... Why does everyone call me that? But it seems that you know who I am."
The stall king said this. He spread his hands and introduced, "And this trading street in Luo Anan Forest is also mine."
So it makes sense.
No wonder Belsi felt that the layout and design ideas looked so familiar when she looked at this street.
[I'll go, a professional stall owner... a super charterer. 】
Nananoshima Semu complained like this, she opened the system panel and studied: [De...can't actually display the real name. 】
Bel Xi felt a little ashamed after hearing this...
If the system can see the real name, then it is impossible for him and Nanajima Semu to leave hell... maybe they can just become the devil among the devils in hell, right?
After all, as long as you know the true name of the demon species, you can completely control that person's life and death.
The Demon King and Demon Lord levels may not be affected that much, but they probably won't be able to kill people who know their true names.
However, Nananoshima Semu is also aware of this, and it may just mean that "the trick I played is not big enough, what a pity".
But in fact, knowing the opponent's level is already very strong, so that you will not encounter others pretending to be pigs to eat tigers, or being deceived by pigs pretending to be tigers.
[De, fifth level 99% experience. 】
Nanajima Semu said this, and then clearly showed a look of disdain: [Only the fifth level 99% experience? I thought it was level ninety-nine...]
This is outrageous. Can you find me a ninety-nine-level person?
Belsi rolled her eyes, and although they had been before... Belsi, Nanami Semu, Sanmei, Herilinde, Da Zhuang.
Although five level 2 machines destroyed a lot of level 4 machines.
But to be honest, Da Zhuang basically took a lot of credit, and... it all relied on healing potions to be honest.
If there is no treatment potion.
At least Belsi was definitely dying, and the mage girl's fingers and arms were definitely dead.
Herilinde's arms almost fell apart when she took those daggers... There were cracks all over the exoskeleton armor, and transparent juice was leaking out.
It feels completely impossible to look down on the opponent's fifth level.
Bel Xi thought so, nodded towards the stall king, and said hello: "Hello, hello."
In his mind, he was wondering what this [Stall King] wanted to do when he suddenly spoke to him.
However, the stall king named De soon got straight to the point: "I haven't asked for your names yet? Also... I want to know, what is the situation in the kingdom now?"
Regarding the issue of the stall king, Belch gave a rough introduction to the people on his side while thinking about the other party's intentions.
What's going on in the kingdom? This is a thought-provoking question.
However, there was too little information. Although Belxi had many guesses about the other party's purpose, they were just guesses.
Let’s talk about some meaningless information…
"Kingdom? Well...it's still melting..."
Belch said this, looking like he was sad for the current situation: "It's like a forest of fallen anacondas."
"The Abyss is mixing with the main plane. This may not only be the kingdom, but also other countries... It is inevitable."
What Belsch said was correct at all, but obviously that was not what the other party wanted to ask.
"I mean... who is in charge of the kingdom now?"
The stall king asked straightforwardly. He moved out of the way, indicating that he was not stopping a few people to ask questions, but just asking casually.
"I have heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was melted and disappeared. Who is the emperor of the kingdom now? Or is there no one who is the emperor yet?"
Facing the stall king who asked this question, Belxi's eyes flickered.
"Yes, no one has become emperor yet."
As Bel Xi said this, he quickly thought about how he should answer... The speed of information transmission in this world cannot be said to be fast.
Therefore, the stall king may indeed be unsure of the situation in the kingdom, but... what is the purpose of the other party asking such a question?
But even so, some information that can be obtained with a little investigation is not necessary to conceal and can be easily exposed.
"Right now, the eldest princess is handling government affairs. Why does Mr. Wilde ask this? You can find out after a little investigation, right?"
Under the gaze of Semu Nanajima and others, Belsi said this, and then closed his mouth, waiting for the other party's answer.
"I am De, not [Wilde], or call me... forget it."
The stall king sighed, then fell into a brief thought, and then said: "In other words, is it the [Regent]?"
Then, with Bel Xi's nod of confirmation, the stall king stopped completely and said that he would not disturb the others in the future.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's [sister] is serving as the regent now...Thank you for your answers. This is for you. Take it."
The stall king said this and threw the things in his hands in the direction of Bel Xi.
Then...
A tentacle and two elf hands stood between Belsi and the thing almost at the same time.
Da Zhuang was also ready to draw his sword.
Belsch was very well protected.
Now, Belxi really has the demeanor that a [king] should have, and he feels very pleased and excited about this.
The being named Belsey enjoys the respect and love of others.
Therefore, he will work hard to become a person worthy of being respected.
"Don't be so nervous, that's my token."
The stall king explained this, waving his hands in the direction of Bel Xi and others; "I will cover your consumption on this street. Of course, stalls are not allowed, but as long as it is a normal store, you only need to show this. ."
So, is this the reward for answering these sentences?
Belsi thought so, and looked at what Nananashima Semu was holding in his tentacles, which looked like an iron badge.
After a brief thank you, a few people left.
Go buy the aloe vera juice Da Zhuang wants.
——————————
"..."
"Did you hear that?"
The stall king asked as he leaned against the wall, and from the shadow of the alley, a man wearing a black robe simply walked out.
The black robe wrapped this man so well that it was impossible to judge his true appearance and specific age.
It can be roughly seen from the figure that this is a male.
"Yeah, I heard it...is it Rosa?"
The man in black robe spoke in the voice of a young man, with a hint of melancholy in his voice, and simply said: "Our father, and I...will Rosa continue to carry out the changes we long for?"
Nobility, imperial power...
What a pity, Dhoni City was obviously a pretty good attempt.
"So, what are you going to do next? Your Royal Highness."
The man in black robe, who was called "Prince" by the stall king, simply shook his head: "Do nothing... I'm sorry, I need to disturb you for a while."
"No, I'd be honored."
