Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 523 One Hundred. Hell Tavern

  The black volcano stands in the distance, and the long black ridge blocks the boundless magma sea.

   In addition to flame life, even high-level demons dare not set foot in this ocean too deeply.

   At this moment, there was a figure walking slowly on the magma sea. When he landed, the magma squeaked and immediately cooled into black rocks.

   He walked step by step towards the black volcano in the distance.

  …

  The weathered, dilapidated town stands conspicuously at the foot of the black volcano.

  The buildings of the town have long been submerged by the cooling lava, and half of the door is hidden under the lava rock.

   The origin of this small town cannot be verified. Maybe some high-level demons know the story here, but Ruth obviously will not waste her precious soul on useless curiosity.

   After stepping into the town, Lu Li saw many skeletons on the side of the road. Human-like or not human-like.

  This town is by no means as safe as Ruth said.

   Crossing the whole town, Lu Li found the tavern on the edge of the town. Unlike the town's submerged buildings, this one is built on top of volcanic rock.

   It was apparently built after the last volcanic eruption.

  Some bizarre, ugly mounts full of hellish creatures swarmed the periphery of the tavern.

   "Don't get close to them, they won't attack you." Ruth reminded behind her. "By the way, don't bring that hungry demon in."

   "They will attack her?"

   "No, it just might make you look down on you."

   Passing between these **** creatures, Lu Li arrived at the entrance of the tavern. He looked back at Ruth before holding on to the doorknob.

   Ruth, who no longer kept her distance on the road, stepped back again: "Don't worry, there is no danger. And I don't want to be considered to be with you, so you go first."

   Without saying anything, Lu Li retracted his gaze and pushed open the door of the tavern.

   with Wheatley.

   ding bell - ding bell -

   The wind chimes behind the door reverberated crisply.

  The whispers in the tavern suddenly disappeared in an instant, and they looked at the figure who came in at the same time, and their eyes followed him.

   The hunger demon beside his legs was ignored.

   Covered by the high-level demonic aura that filled the tavern, Wheatley seemed to be extremely frightened, and followed Lu Lei's legs.

   Lu Li glanced over the guests at the surrounding wine tables. Without a soul, all existences are high-level demons in Ruth's mouth.

  The fiery heat was left outside, and the temperature in the tavern was comforting to the soul.

  Lu Li could almost guess the reason why they were staring at him, he ignored it, walked to the counter and sat in the empty seat.

"I haven't seen such an energetic face for a long time." A humanoid behind the counter took a deep breath, and didn't look at Wheatley either. His eyes fell on Ruth, who had just walked in behind Lu Li: "Blind hunt. Demon, did you bring him?"

  It is almost indistinguishable from humans, only the two black horns on its forehead prove its identity.

   The voice of the humanoid demon fell, the "guests" in the tavern resumed their original business, and the chatter everywhere resumed.

   "I'm not blind, and I don't know him." Ruth replied angrily, and sat down in the empty seat closest to the door.

   Opposite her was a high-level demon that seemed to be composed of rocks, with dark blue flames burning in the gaps of the rocks.

  Ruth's seat made the high-level demon regain a breath, and the flame turned light blue.

   Ignoring Ruth's desire to cover up, the humanoid demon looked at Lu Li again: "Then you know the rules here?"

   "Exchange." Lu Li replied.

"You passed. This glass of wine is a welcome gift." The humanoid demon grinned, took out a glass full of wine from under the counter and pushed it in front of Lu Li: "If you want to give or get anything, just shout out, who is there? If interested, I will take the initiative to sit next to you."

   The wine in the glass swayed, and Lu Li lowered his eyes and did not pick up the glass.

   "You'd better drink it, the welcome drink dispels the toxins the **** environment has left in your soul. Here's a hint from a stranger."

  Lu Li picked up the wine glass, raised it and gestured to Ruth: "Thank you, stranger traveler you don't know."

"Humph."

   Ruth turned her head with a light snort.

   "Can I transfer it to other... demons?" Lu Li asked the humanoid demon.

   "You are its owner now."

   The humanoid said that he didn't mind how Lu Li used it, and then watched Lu Li bow his head with interest, and fed the newlywed wine to the hungry demon at his feet.

  Whitley knew this was what he needed, grinned and swallowed a whole glass of wine—no miracle happened.

"The soul in this hungry demon's body can only support its instincts, and the newcomer's wine can't help it." The humanoid demon sighed, and took out a new wine glass from under the counter and pushed it to Lu Li: "Take it as if there are two new guests today. ."

"thanks."

  Lu Li thanked the humanoid demon, picked up the wine glass and drank it.

   Maybe because he doesn't belong to hell, Lu Li can't drink any flavor from this glass of wine. It does work. After drinking it all, the relaxation in Lu Li's soul is like the state when he just descended to hell.

   "Are you the owner of the tavern?" Lu Li asked.

   The humanoid put away the empty cup and smiled kindly: "Just a manager who is too old to walk."

   Its exposed wrist is painted with complicated black lines.

   "May I ask a trivial question?"

   "If it wasn't free."

   The Humanoid's answer made Lu Li think of Hades, but the difference is that one is trading and the other is greed for money.

  The trouble is that Lu Li has no reward that he can pay.

  da——

   There was a faint sound of knocking on the table behind him.

   A smile appeared in the corners of the humanoid's black eyes: "Someone paid for you."

   "The terrain of **** is similar to the world, right?"

   This can reduce the transaction value. If you directly ask what is the difference between the world and the world, you may have to pay more.

   "This question is not trivial, but it is not that expensive." The humanoid replied with a smile: "Yes, **** is like a human world that has been expanded many times."

   Everything corresponds.

   A majestic black volcano that resembles a mountain range, and a sea of ​​magma outside the black volcano.

   Mount Sugard, and the ocean.

   "What about the ratio between?"

   "Some places are much worse, and some places are no different."

"thanks."

   There is no problem with Lu Li for the time being—it counts as a transaction problem.

   "How much would it cost if I needed to rent a fast mount."

   "I don't have a mount." The humanoid demon shook his head and replied. "Do you need me to ask you a question?"

   "Best."

  The humanoid nodded, and suddenly said loudly in a voice that could be heard in the whole tavern: "Our new friend wants to rent a fast mount, whoever of you is interested in trading, please quote your price!"

  Nightmare beasts, skeleton horses, magic eagles, the clutter sounded like the shouts of a tavern in the world.

  Lu Li wrote down what the demons shouted, and at the same time carefully scanned the guests.

  There is no soul like Ruth...meaning that it is difficult for Lu Li to use the identity of a "psychic" to exchange for the content of the transaction.
