Inhuman Warlock
540 Chapter 540: Spies
In fact, the ones who looked like real humans were very rare. He could only see two of such people.
Lucifer landed on the ground with the other three and observed the surroundings.
"Humanoid beasts?" Salazar muttered, frowning.
"I think so. That's so odd. I don't think I've ever heard about someone summoning a humanoid beast before. This is so odd. It's like the other side of the Summoning Spectrum that variants hadn't been able to explore," Lucifer responded, frowning.
Jenilia also chimed in. "Isn't it possible that the ones who look like humans are actually humans? Just because the last girl wasn't a human doesn't mean the others who look like humans won't be either."
"Since we're taking the risk of approaching them, instead of the lady who is certainly a beast, why don't we approach that guy who might be a human?" she further added.
Lucifer wanted to find the woman instead since he was getting a special feeling from her, which he wasn't getting from the guys? It was not only to get answers about this place but also to get answers about this strange familiarity that he was feeling.
However, he also agreed that he had lost the woman. Instead of waiting to find her again, he needed to try approaching the girl.
He started stepping towards the young man who was walking with his arms wrapped around the wolf-eared ladies.
As he was walking, he didn't know why, but many beasts in the city kept looking in his direction. Some even started talking amongst each other, trying to be subtle.
Through his exceptional hearing, he was also able to hear their conversation. The Beastkins that were a mix of humans and beasts, were apparently using a language that he could understand.
"Three High Beasts walking together? How is that possible?"
"That's right! They all appear to be from different clans, according to their features! How are they walking together? Moreover, I don't think I even saw one of them before in the city."
"Could it be that they are from enemy cities? They couldn't be spies, or they didn't make it so obvious."
"They are approaching High Beast Hun. Are they here for him? Did he offend him somehow?"
"Meh, so what if they are here for him. High Beast Hun is pretty strong. He can take them out easily, even if they are three! Just wait and watch!"
"High Beasts?" Lucifer muttered. "Do they think we are also beasts? Probably because there are some that can take a human shape? Moreover, from the way they talk, I think the beasts that look like real humans are the ones that sit at the top of the hierarchy here."
"I think the same. It's good as well. If that can't recognize us that easily, we can get more answers," Salazar agreed.
"Ah, could it be why the Black Dragons and the other beasts didn't attack us? Because they thought we were High Beasts?" Jenilia exclaimed.
"That looks highly possible," Lucifer agreed. "We should just go with the story that we are who they think we are. We are from a different city, here on sightseeing."
"Yeah. Play along. If there's a fight, you should stay back since you're weak. Let us take the lead in that case," Salazar reminded Jenilia.
If they were going to pretend to be a powerful beast, they couldn't be defeated by one. Also, Jenilia was the weakest amongst them. They needed to keep her out of the battle.
The man dressed in a beautiful white robe stopped as he noticed the beasts surprised in his direction.
Curious, Hun took off his hands from the slim waist of the lady and turned around.
As soon as his eyes fell on the lady in the back, his face was engulfed in a deep frown.
"Ladies, please step back."
The fox-eared ladies stepped back, looking scared. They knew how much power and influence a High Beast possessed. That's why they were willing to be with one.
However, three High Beasts were coming towards them. It looked like they were here to fight. What was happening? Whatever it was, they didn't want to be caught in the middle.
There were also some beasts that had run away to inform other High Beasts about what was happening. Some unknown High Beasts had come to their city. If they fought Hun and killed him, it was not only going to weaken their city, but it was also going to be insulting for them.
Lucifer stopped right in front of Hun. Salazar stood on his left while Jenilia stood on his right.
"Who are you?" Hun asked. "And where are you from? You're certainly not from our city."
"That's right. We are from a different city. We need to talk to you about something important," Lucifer answered. "Can you come with us?'
"I'm not going anywhere. Ask me whatever you want to ask right here. If you need me to come with you just so you could speak, I'm not going to bother," Hun retorted. "Moreover, why are you even scared to talk here?"
"We want to talk about things that these lowly beasts don't deserve to know. We hope you can understand. We aren't here to fight," Lucifer replied.
"Fine. If you want to talk, you must come to my home with me. We would have privacy there. And these lowly beasts won't be there."
"We are fine with that. You can lead the way," Lucifer agreed.
"Huh? You agree?" Lucifer's answer surprised the young man who was thinking that he was going to say no.
Honestly, why would someone who was here to hurt him agree to go to his home where he was going to have his family? That simply didn't make sense.
"Should we not have agreed?" Lucifer asked, frowning.
"Ah, T-that's not it. I was just surprised. Anyway, are you seriously not here for any conflict? I'm curious. What would lead you to me? I don't have any special knowledge that can help other High Beasts either?"
"Don't worry about that. We just need some minor information. We can tell you what we want to know. If you think that it's something you don't want to answer, you can say no," Lucifer calmly said.
He was sure that this man was thinking that they needed some crucial information about the working of this city or about some treasure. Their real question was much more simple and couldn't affect this city or its people.
"Hmm, alright. You can come with me," Hun agreed. He wasn't at a loss after all. There was no risk for him at home.
