Chapter 318: Demons Part 1

On the way back to the boat it was late afternoon, when we arrived I saw that we were not the first to return, so I waited for everyone to arrive while talking about the slaves we bought. 

  While waiting I saw three large boxes being brought to our boat, I soon discover they are books and put them inside the boat. 

  While we waited I started playing a game of cards Nolan had taught me, I did it to pass the time until dusk when everyone else had returned. 

  She told everyone that we would talk later, first, we needed to deal with the slaves, but Érica seemed to want to talk about something urgent. 

  So I told Nix to open the Dungeon gate, before going in I take a paper where I explain the working conditions that I thought were irrefutable for these slaves, I leave it with Nira and Freya talking to convince the slaves to join us of their own volition if it doesn't work out, I told Jay to release those who refuse to do what they want with their freedom. 

  After that I enter the Dungeon together with Érica, she also asked me to bring Beatriz, Kira, and Elsaris with us. 

  Érica didn't want to go to the mansion either, so we stayed in the safe room on the second floor to talk sitting on the floor. 

  "What happened that was so important that you were in such a hurry to tell me? Besides, why away from the others?"  (I) 

  "This has nothing to do with us, but I thought it was an important matter to tell the master."  (Érica) 

  "Besides, I thought depending on your decision it would be better to have these three around."  (Érica) 

  "First of all, I must first understand what is happening."  (I) 

  "I'll tell you from the moment we left the Guild, in the late afternoon we were leaving the Adventurer's Guild when I passed someone who shouldn't be here."  (Érica) 

  "Someone who shouldn't be in this town?"  (I) 

  "No, someone who shouldn't be on this continent."  (Érica) 

  "Who I found was probably a Demon."  (Érica) 

  "Why should that be important? You're a Demon too."  (I) 

  "I know the master doesn't care much about the relationship between the various races."  (Érica) 

  "But the master should know that the Human and Demon races have been enemies for millennia, the hatred and resentment between these two races is something that lingers even now."  (Érica) 

  "This continent can be considered the territory of the human race as most of the Realms here belong to Humans who are also the most numerous race on this continent."  (Érica) 

  "The Demons stay on the continent closest to this one, they rule that continent."  (Érica) 

  "Many wars have taken place with the humans attacking there or the Demons attacking here."  (Elsaris) 

  "These two races have too many different cultures to be able to live together, as if that weren't enough, some religions are also against Demons, and there are also religions that are against Humans on the other side."  (Elsaris) 

  "Elsaris is right, for those reasons no Demons are allowed on this continent, myself included, but the same applies to the other side about Humans."  (Érica) 

  It seems like the history between Humans and Demons is quite long, but to me, it feels more like the struggle between two very different cultures. 

  For others, it may seem like the fight of good against evil, but these people are idiots, good and evil are not so simple to be differentiated by one's race. 

  Wars always happen for the same reasons that are money, religion, cultural difference, conquest, politics, etc. 

  Most of the time wars start for silly reasons, the story that follows after a war won't always be the truth either, the winning side can say what they want most of the time, wars are always things I can't understand. 

  "So you mean there might be a reason a Demon is here?"  (I) 

  "Exactly."  (Érica) 

  "But you weren't sure it was a Demon."  (I) 

  "When I found this person he was in a human form, but I noticed a tattoo on his neck releasing a trace of demonic Aura."  (Érica) 

  "You mean he was using the same demonic human transformation magic as you were?"  (I) 

  "It was different from my magic, the magic I use is one that is normally used by people who have turned into Demons like me."  (Érica) 

  "My tattoo that appears on my arm when I am in human form is a seal to my demonic energy as a curse, I modified it this way to make it impossible to escape any demonic energy so I would never be discovered."  (I) 

  "But every time I go back to my natural Demon form the tattoo disappears as it's just energy."  (Érica) 

  "The tattoo I saw on the man today was engraved on his body, it seemed to be forcing the demonic energy to be suppressed, because of that the demonic energy I felt was very weak."  (Érica) 

  "You were with her Beatriz, did you also feel this demonic energy?"  (I) 

  "No, but I noticed the change in Érica when we left the Adventurer's Guild."  (Beatriz) 

  "No one would notice the demonic energy since it didn't leave his body, I just felt why it reacted with my Aura, I'm still learning to control my Aura, so I'm not able to suppress my Aura like you or Sophia, master."  (Érica) 

  "The chances of him being a Demon are more than 90%, maybe I just discovered him because he's also a Demon."  (Érica) 

  "…" (I) 

  I really don't care if he was a Demon or not, this race between races is not my problem. 

  "For a Demon to be here and engrave these kinds of magic on himself, he must be a spy or maybe he's planning something."  (Elsaris) 

  "What should we do master?"  (Kira) 

  "I really don't want to get into this."  (I) 

  "I think this is a good decision, but I would like to know what this Demon looks like if possible."  (Elsaris) 

  "He was a man with a height of 1.85 meters, short black hair, white skin, brown eyes, his body seems to be well built like a warrior, but he was wearing noble clothes of black and gold color."  (Érica)

  "The tattoo I saw on his neck looked like a chain, but it only looked like part of the tattoo, so I don't know what the rest of it looks like."  (Érica) 

  "…" (Kira) 

  "…" (Elsaris) 

  Kira and Elsaris look at each other, so Kira pulls out a reading crystal and a storage crystal which she places into the reading crystal, after a few seconds of looking for something she shows a picture to Erica. 

  "Is this the man you saw?"  (Kira) 

  "That was it, how did you know?"  (Érica) 

  Sigh 

  "I was so glad we didn't get us into this kind of trouble."  (Elsaris) 

  "Why of all people should this bastard prince be!?"  (Elsaris) 

  "Do you know him, Mom?"  (Beatriz) 

  "Looks like you two are on to something."  (I) 

  "You should have learned by now that you can't run from problems, the master has that kind of luck."  (Kira) 

  "…" (Elsaris) 

  "Could any of you explain this soon, stop talking about me like that, it makes me look like some symbol of bad luck."  (I) 

  "…" (all) 

  When I say that, the three of them look at me with eyes like they're judging me and saying that's exactly it, I wanted to say something, but my negative luck prevents me from telling a lie that makes up for it. 

  "That's why you wanted to change plans."  (Elsaris) 

  "Don't say that, you thought it would be a good idea too."  (Kira) 

  "I was going to talk about it later with you, master."  (Kira) 

  "Before I arrived at the Assassins' Guild to gather information, I had an idea to look for information about some nobles who are in this Realm at the moment."  (Kira) 

  "I already figured we'd have to stay in this realm for a while, so I thought we might rob some noble scoundrels while we were here."  (Kira) 

  "Fine with me as long as you don't get into trouble with innocent people."  (I) 

  "But I think this possible Demon must be one of those noble scoundrels, right?"  (I) 

  "Yes, but what stands out most about him is that a famous Mage is with him as a slave, he is a scholar of magic who was once a real Mage of two Minor Realms."  (Kira) 

  "Then he would be a good person to recruit, it would be easier for him to accept our proposal, plus I could leave him in charge of leading the Mages we bought today."  (I) 

  "With that, the people of the village could learn a lot more about magic, I and the others could learn more about magic too."  (I) 

  "I knew he would react like this, we're lost."  (Elsaris) 

  "Come on don't say that."  (Kira) 

  "With that face, it looks like the master is doing something wrong."  (Érica) 

  "Just because he gets lost in his thoughts and starts planning a future where we already have this famous Mage, we can tell he's going to mess with this Devil."  (Elsaris) 

  "You're right, hahahahaha."  (I) 

  It was funny to see Elsaris react like that, she normally doesn't like to get in trouble, I like to think that I am too, but I can't let an opportunity to get someone so capable for our side pass. 

  "I'll want to research more about this Prince, we'll also have to research the Kingdom he came from."  (I) 

  "You should know something, at Érica's request I put a tracking curse on him."  (Beatriz) 

  sighs 

  "Beatrix…" (Elsaris) 

  "She asked, at the time it seemed like a good idea."  (Beatriz) 

  "That was an excellent idea, good job you two."  (I) 

  "Does that mean we can follow him?"  (I) 

  "Yes, this curse will last for a long time, besides it will consume his mana, not mine."  (Érica) 

  "Are you sure he won't notice?"  (I) 

  "He would only discover this curse if he had very specific skills for it, but the chances of that being the case are slim."  (Elsaris) 

  "Beatriz, you will follow this Demon from afar, you can talk to Érica about how to follow him."  (I) 

  "I'm going to put the tracking magic in a magic crystal we already have, so it will be easier for you, Beatriz."  (Érica) 

  "In the meantime let's move on to the other things we still have to do."  (I)
