The Demon’s Menu

Being wary of strangers has long been Jason's instinct.

Just like eating and drinking.

However, the one outside the door was different.

Just as Jason raised the shotgun and aimed the muzzle at the door, the whole body froze.

The innately keen sixth sense told this man that if he dared to open the door directly, something bad would definitely happen.

The one who followed his heart immediately changed his strategy.

He stood up straight, raised his hand and knocked on the door—

Boom, boom, boom.

Hello, is Your Excellency Jason there?

I'm Tanier, the teacher of Deer Academy.

After the knock on the door, Tanier immediately introduced himself, and simply stated his origins.

Deer Academy?

Jason, who doesn't have any memory inheritance, doesn't know where it is, but the name of this academy makes him quite fond of it, definitely... not because the venison is delicious.

With the muzzle still not down, Jason said:

Come in.

The door opened, and there was a tall, thin, red-haired young man with a hat and a cane in his hand.

However, the smile that was supposed to be sunny and friendly was full of stiffness.

Tanir saw the large-caliber shotgun facing him - he didn't know much about firearms, and he didn't recognize the shotgun that had appeared recently.

Without any hesitation, Tanir raised his hands high.

Lord Night's Watch, trust me.

I have no ill will.

I'm just here to close some deals.

Tanier said.

trade?

Jason raised his eyebrows, and doubts appeared in his eyes.

He confirmed that he did not know each other.

How to deal with a stranger who wants to make a deal with him?

Jason raised the shotgun in his hand and aimed it at the opponent's head.

Immediately, Tanir's sweat came down.

He had heard that the 'Night Watchman' was not easy to deal with, but he always thought it was a rumor.

But at this moment?

He deeply understood the truth of the rumors.

I heard that you hunted some 'Laughter' and a 'Submariner', and I wish to buy the former's claws and the latter's tentacles.

Tanir spoke faster and said truthfully.

No.

Jason answered bluntly.

The 'Laughter' had already finished eating, and his claws were gnawed like chicken claws.

After the 'Submariner' is roasted, it will directly enter the stomach, not to mention the tentacles, not even the skin.

At the same time, until this time, Jason once again remembered that he was going to make some jerky as a backup plan.

Damn!

Why did I forget again?

I'm so excited when I can improve [Protection Against Evil].

next time!

I'll remember next time!

Jason told himself.

Then, he looked again at Tanir, who claimed to be the teacher of the Deer Academy in front of him.

Obviously, this so-called Deer Academy should be linked to the 'mystery side'.

Moreover, there is a considerable intelligence network in Lord City. Otherwise, it is impossible for the other party to know his identity, the monsters he hunted, and the fact that the other party appeared in the dormitory of the police station aboveboard.

An academy that cooperates with Lord City officials and is involved in the mysterious side?

Moreover, the 'mystery side' has the practice of face-to-face transactions.

At least in Lord City, that's the norm.

Plus his status as a consultant.

It should be noted that the official of Lord City does not exclude the 'mysterious side'.

According to the performance of the other party, Jason thought silently.

And Tanier became more and more frightened under Jason's scrutiny.

At this time, Tanir,

Already starting to regret coming to the door so rashly.

Just when Tanier was about to find an excuse to leave in a hurry, Jason suddenly spoke.

Would you like the scales of the Gollum Hound and the fur of Kemetia?

The former is complete, the latter is somewhat burnt.

Jason pointed to a corner of the kitchen.

The deliciousness of the food makes Jason happy, but not everything Jason eats.

At least scales, hair and the like, Jason refused.

Tanir followed the direction of Jason's finger and immediately saw the Gollum hound scales and Kemetia hair in the kitchen trash can.

Complete scales!

The hair is a bit burnt and most of the frizz is unusable, but some of the rest are still usable!

After careful identification, Tanier came to a conclusion.

However, there is something odd about how the two items are stored.

Why put it in the trash can?

To cover up?

Tanier guessed.

What do you need?

Tanir, who was guessing in his heart, did not stop, and asked more and more humbly.

Being able to hunt a Gollum Hound is nothing, but keeping the scales of a Gollum Hound intact is great, not to mention Kemetia.

That kind of monster that looks like a baboon, but one of the closest monsters to a monster.

No direct offer, but ask what is needed?

Is it 'barter'?

Jason guessed in his heart, and then asked back.

what do you have?

He couldn't say what he wanted without knowing the market.

Although he really wanted to say straight out to get me some monster meat or something.

But the prudence in his nature made him choose to find out the market first.

I have a potion that can quickly sober the drunk.

There is also a potion that can make people excited and stay up all night.

There's also a potion that treats wounds so they don't get infected.

You can choose different ones and make up for two.

Or two of each.

Facing Jason's inquiry, Tanier introduced him well.

Sure enough, barter!

Having confirmed this, Jason shook his head slightly.

not enough!

He said so.

Although he doesn't know the market, he knows that the bidder in any transaction will leave room.

This is nature.

And it turns out Jason was right.

Tanier subconsciously wanted to refute Jason's words, but looking at the gun in Jason's hand, he immediately showed a slightly stiff smile.

There is only one medicine for treating wounds!

You can choose any two of the remaining two potions.

If Kemetia's hair was normal, not burnt and curled, you could get more, but that's the limit right now.

If you don't believe it, you can ask about any of Lord's 'mystery gatherings', and no one will charge a higher price than me.

Tennier tried to keep his smile as he spoke.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems to be about to cry.

Mystery Gathering!

Jason's attention was drawn to the word.

There is no doubt that the same people will always form one circle after another, and each small circle has its own rules. It is not easy to enter a small circle.

However, there is a good candidate in front of you.

Jason looked at Tennier, and when the latter trembled in his heart, he slowly said:

I just came to Lord and I'm not familiar with the parties here.

I can be your referrer.

Tanier said immediately.

Then, Tennier put down three potions and got the scales and hair he wanted.

At the same time, footsteps sounded again in the corridor.

This time it was an acquaintance: Bundy.

A second after Jason heard footsteps, Tanir heard it too.

The self-proclaimed Deer Academy teacher stood up and said goodbye.

There's a rally tomorrow, and I'll be here to pick you up when it gets dark.

When leaving, Tanier said.

When the other party opened the door, Bundy had already come to the door.

Looking at Tanier, Bundy frowned, but didn't say much, while the former bowed slightly.

Then, under the watch of Bundy, he left the third floor.

It was not until it was confirmed that the other party was going downstairs that Bundy closed the door and walked into the room.

Sitting across from Jason, the sheriff said directly:

One good news, one bad news.

Which one do you want to hear?
